List, Whilst I'm in the mood for contributing stuff, here's another little howto I wrote on securing SSH that has proved popular in the past: http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?t=433216 If you feel it is suitable and you would like me to contribute it to the CentOS wiki, just set up a page in the appropriate area and I'll be happy to add it. Regards, Ned

Hi list, I've knocked up a contribution on SELinux here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux I've tried to pitch it as an introduction for those not already familiar with SELinux but also hopefully a useful reference. I'm relatively new to SELinux and have covered pretty much everything I know to the limits of my limited knowledge. If folks think other material needs to be

Hi List, I'd really appreciate some recommendations for colour laser printers for use with CentOS. It's for light home use with CentOS 5 and CentOS 6 systems. Must have: 1. Colour. Quality not that important as mainly for kids school project type of stuff. 2. Ethernet connectivity - want something I can plug into the network 3. Cheap running costs - don't want to be spending a

Hi Guys, Are you interested in a brief guide on how to set up postgrey (anti-spam greylisting) with postfix? I set it up today and it took me a while to get it working as the config is slightly different from that on many of the googled guides (many are debian/ubuntu based). The darn config file lives in /etc/sysconfig on RH/CentOS rather than /etc/default as mentioned in all the guides I

Hi List, I've been working on documenting an amavisd-new, spamassassin and clamav installation for postfix on CentOS5 with regards to writing this up for the Wiki (with invaluable help from forum member WhatsHisName - thanks!). I hope to make a start on a Wiki page in the next week or so, so if anyone has any experience with this combo and would like to offer advice, tips and

Hi List, I've just drafted a FAQ/mini-HOWTO on becoming root as this is a topic I see come up time and time again. Perhaps someone with a reasonable understanding could check it for technical correctness, and if anyone would like to offer comments/feedback?? Any suggestions as to where might be an appropriate home for this on the Wiki? Regards, Ned (attached below)

Is it possible to build a 32-bit version of Wine on 64-bit CentOS 7 ? A curt "yes" or "no" will do. Eventually I'll RTFM for the details. Cheers, Niki --

Okay, thanks to all who took the time to reply. What a shame; I hadn't planned on spending Easter weekend learning to do kernel upgrades, but . . . here it goes.

Hey Alain, Nice work on the updated admonitions here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Wiki/Editing IMHO they look great, and a nice improvement on the previous set. Thanks for the hard work making our wiki pages look great! Ned

Hi List, Would the Wiki be interested in a very simple guide to setting up postfix/dovecot? I'm no expert, but have been learning postfix recently, and would be more than happy to write one based on my own setup/experience. As there's so many different scenarios for which postfix could be configured, I'm thinking just a basic guide for a working mail server to get new users up

Hi all, Akemi and I have recently been drafting a few posts for a new forum subsection (Readme First & FAQs) to aid new forums members in getting help. One thing we have noticed is that there are two FAQ repositories, one on the main site and one on the Wiki. Main site FAQs: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/ Presumably it would be preferable if there was just one, and as the main

Is there a way in Centos 7 to boot into an alternate video setup? Some distributions have an option to boot into something called VESA (or something similar). Something that might not have the fanciest features, but more likely to at least just work.

Hi List, The hardware list page on the Wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList says: "I'd like to see this page as an entry point for hardware that does not work with CentOS out of the box or only with some effort. I do not see a need for a list which states all working hardware." I'd like to ask if we can make a small exception to that rule for

In another recent thread,[1] someone was having trouble with the yum-plugin-fastestmirror feature, so I suggested he remove it, since it?s just a plugin and should therefore be optional. He reported that it couldn?t be removed due to package dependencies. I investigated further and found that this also affects CentOS 5.11 and CentOS 7.2. (The OP is on CentOS 6.8.) So, I reported it as a bug
