How can I do this w/o restarting services or rebooting? Thanks! jlc

I have a xen machine that has iptables turned off, and after a reboot it started behaving badly during times when network IO rose to anything other than almost nil. Since I know iptables makes xen unstable without some additional config and since its isolated I just have is disabled. As a result it was the last place I looked and spent the better half of the day chasing my tail. Somehow it gets

I have an Intel SE7525RP2 motherboard with a Yukon Marvel (82541GB controller) NIC in it. After installing CentOS 5.1 it functions fine for some minutes then looses network connectivity. By coincidence, I was using the system to clean some HD's for another and had booted off Knoppix and noticed it never exhibited this behavior, the network remained functional even overnight when I returned to

I set libvirtd off to disable virbr0 and set my vif's to point to eth0 as their bridge and this is working well for local connectivity. Are there any ramifications to doing this the way I did? Thanks! jlc

I have a series of unmounted lv's that are used in xen vm's of various flavors in a lab environment. I made a script that I use to backup all of them prior to doing anything I may need to undo and all I execute is: dd if=/dev/vgname/lvname of=/dir/name.img Are there any additional parameters I should use? I haven't tried to restore this into an lv, but I did swap the 'phy'

Two quick and simple questions; I want to install the "WinPower" software for my new UPS. On their web site, they have a tar.gz file available for download. I know the reasons for staying with RPM, if at all possible. I''ve Googled and Yahood for ""WinPower"+RPM+Linux and get hits, but no obvious RPM. I tried "yum install winpower" and the response was

Trying to rsync a rather large file from a windows server to a centos server and all but this is working fine. As it's a 20 gig file I am trying to send the diff of with a -c, I suspect over the low bandwidth this presents an issue. I also stage this file locally on another centos server and could calc the diff and create a patch and send that, comparing checksums etc... A quick look at

Hey Guys, I am trying to get a python script running but I get the following error: atexit.register(atexit_handler) NameError: global name 'atexit' is not defined A Google search doesn't really help me, except confirm that I don't know anything about python:) Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, jlc

I have been searching the net for directions on rhel and centos 5(1) to log in to a windows domain and have found many examples, all different and none work for me.

For ages I have been keeping docs and notes in Public Folders inside an Exchange server and want to move this out to a more modern facility that allows tagging and searching via a web interface for keywords so I can keep all my notes more organized. Anyone have any personal recos for the slickest system to do this with. Given the nature of my home setup, its routinely used to lab stuff up so I

When choosing either of these methods and using an iso, how does CentOS determine the right iso file to mount? Is there an expected file name format? Thanks! jlc

We are moving all our (limited and badly organized) documentation to a wiki. Anyone got any examples/pointers to a hierarchy that made logical sense?

Is anyone using successfully a specific rpm of Dovecot 1.0.something? There's nothing on dag and a few on rpmfind (for Fedora Core), but I don't know if they'd work. The one coming with Centos 4 (0.99.11) has quite a few bugs and I'd like to put an upgrade on top of it.
