Hi, I am setting up crashkernel and was wondering where I get the kernel-debug rpm for centosplus kernels. Thanks, -- Stephen Clark *NetWolves Managed Services, LLC.* Director of Technology Phone: 813-579-3200 Fax: 813-882-0209 Email: steve.clark at netwolves.com http://www.netwolves.com

I'm creating a custom install / respin ISO with updated packages and a kickstart - starting from CentOS 6.5 minimal install DVD. I'm generally following the directions from http://smorgasbork.com/component/content/article/35-linux/128-building-a-custom-centos-6-kickstart-disc-part-1 . I can create the iso, boot, have it find the installation media (it prints "Found local installation

Hello List, I found these wonderful instruction by Alan Bartlett (thanks Alan) for building a kernel.org kernel that would install on CentOS 5.5. Doing this and moving the resulting .rpm to the target system and doing a rpm -ivh ... works great. Now I am trying to use the same rpm as part of a CentOS respin and the installation fails miserably leaving me with a unbootable system. Using the

Hi, anybody has installed CentOS on an lanner appliance...? Eg. http://www.lannerinc.com/products/all-purpose-box-computers/industrial-automation/lec-2126 I was planning to buy an hp microserver to make a "small" CentOS firewall (and more since it is overpowered), but I am wondering if I could go for a lot smaller and with no fan/noise... but at the same time a bit more expensive...

Hello to all, currently I have CentOS 6.4 32 bit, very simple setup on my notebook, I want to migrate it from 32 to 64 bits cause I want to play with some VMs etc etc. Do you have some suggestions on how to do backup of folders (mainly I have 1 user) or just copy the user folder and stop?

I rebuilt my system a couple/three weeks ago, and it's running 6.5, and there's a couple of minor annoyances: first, all my xterms, when I login in from the console, always are in ~/Documents, rather than ~. The other is that, running KDE, I can't find where to turn *off* the stupid login/logout theme music.* Oh, and I get this enTHUsiastic menu, rather than the traditional one.

I run a local repo for our company's packages. Since yesterday we have problems with creating the repo files. When i run "createrepo --update -s sha rpmdir" i get the folowing error: File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 249, in ? main(sys.argv[1:]) File "/usr/share/createrepo/genpkgmetadata.py", line 223, in main mdgen.doPkgMetadata()

I have a firewall rule to drop packets from certain addresses: (email spam) my /etc/sysconfig/iptables begins as: # Generated by iptables-save v1.4.7 on Thu Jun 26 09:11:09 2014 *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [1:148] -A INPUT -m pkttype --pkt-type multicast -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -s 223.255.229.0/24 -j DROP -A INPUT -s 218.96.0.0/24 -j DROP -A INPUT -s

I've setup a local yum repository for about 25 workstations and I'm using rsync from a local mirror. Do I need to create my own XML headers, i.e. the 'repodata' directory, or since I'm syncing the whole updates directory can I use the 'repodata' directory from the mirror? I also have a question on using createrepo. The directory layout is: ~/updates/

Hi All. I've used syslog-ng for some time. I like it. I have a project in which I need to choose a central logging solution. What are your experiences with rsyslog? Is it more complex to setup than syslog-ng? Or maybe does it have some additional features? I am also thinking about using some gui tools for log parsing and graphing. May be proprietary/paid. Any suggestions? Best regards,

Alan& Akemi, Would it be possible to get CONFIG_ARPD turned on in the centosplus 6.x kernel? It is required to use opennhrp.

I was looking for a vulnerability scanner and found OpenVAS. Does anyone has experiences with that scanner? And with the Atomicorp repository? (the OpenVAS website refers to that repo) Thanks Patrick

Hello, I am trying to compile RHEL-6 kernel srpm on Fedora 14 and run into the following problem. From what I read -Werror flag causes warnings to be treated as errors - but I don't see that flag on in the following. Any ideas? gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/.wakemain.o.d -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.5.1/include -nostdinc -isystem

Hi, I have a confusing problem. I have two centos 5,5 boxes. Both have sudo.i386 1.7.2p1-9.el5_5 installed I am using the same sudoers file, but the one on box A keeps trying to do DNS lookups while the one on box B does not. How do I disable this DNS lookup?

Hi, folks. This is, in fact, off-topic: I'm fighting a user's FC19 box. I updated him, rebooted... and his ATI video card seems to not be supported any more (and it's *not* that old - an RV620). The thing that drives me crazy is, when I reinstalled the whole system, whatever video driver the installer used for graphical install *worked*. So: does anyone have any idea a) what driver

Hi folks, I've just finished rsyncing/downloading/jigdoizing the entire i386/x86_64 CentOS 4.2 distribution. If anyone is interested go to http://mirror.tcs.ii.uj.edu.pl/jigdo/ You'll need to edit the .jigdo file by hand to change the server section [Servers] CentOS42=file:/opt/mirrors/centos/4.2/ to point to a local mirror (file, http or ftp), ie. to use kernel.org: [Servers]

Hello, Anybody else run into problems with biosdevname .0.5..0-2 changing names from p2p1 to em1 when upgrading from biosdevname 0.4.1-3? Darn!
