I've got an odd problem. My server will not shutdown normally because the AoE driver is not being shut down properly. While investigating the problem, I found that the aoe script is apparently not being called for shutdown. I have been able to duplicate this with a brand new test script. My test script is just a simple file that echos back the start or stop command: #!/bin/bash #

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I need to remove an entry of inittab which is used to (re)spawn a process: mydemon:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/mydemon >/dev/null 2>&1 So, I would comment out that entry and reload init running ``telinit q''. IIRC, this would lead to the currently running daemon being killed. I don't want to /try/ whether I'm right, as

My desktop environment has become a little chaotic, and, long story short, I would like to uninstall KDE and Gnome, and then reinstall Gnome. (I want to remove KDE for the time being because I just don't think I want it taking up space on my hard drive). The thing is, I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. For instance, I want to make sure I don't lose settings in

Note that you can actually do 'telinit 3' and telinit 5' with systemd. I do, even

I have a problem creating homedirs on the fly. Since RHEL5 / CentOS5 you have to use pam_oddjob_mkhomedir instead of pam_mkhomedir. Everything is working (the homedir is created) but two things. First on every logon I get the following error message, and I don't know how to fix it: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.redhat.oddjob was not provided by any .service files

When I am looking for a package that does not exist under rhel5, is it better to get rhel4 or fc6? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

Hi there, I'm trying to dial into the FWD network using Asterisk, though a NAT. The sources I've read say that it's unconfirmed to work through a NAT, but I'm wondering if anyone's done it anyway. So, anyone got a clue how to do this? Hank

Hi, I have an Asus terminator C3 with 512Mb. It has a Via P3-800Mhz CPU, with a VIA chipset. It's currently running FC6. I wanted to wipe the machine and install CentOS5. It boots from the CD to the linux prompt, then it fully loads vmlinux, then starts initrd.img, and somewhere at that point it reboots. I have tried: noapic, noapm, noprobe. Same, somewhere during initrd.img or at then

And something else, that previously eluded from my thoughts:my "notifyme" script,i.e the script that is executed at an ups.status="OB" event, is: echo `date` >> /root/upsLog echo " No power, shutting down the system!" >> /root/upsLog sleep 30 control=`/usr/local/ups/bin/upsc Inform@localhost ups.status` if [ $control != OL ] then

Hi all, Somebody knows where I can find yum-arch for CentOS 5?? I need to generate rpm headers for my rhel3 and centos3 based servers ... Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

I'll try that...I was using instructions I found on the internet for single-user/maintenance mode.?? From the grub screen you enter 'e' and modify the linux16 line...etc. Okay, I'll try that next.

Using linux on both server and client. I can run smbmount and all seems ok.

Hi, Kopete does not show any contact in ICQ... Will there be fixes for this? Or do I have to wait for kde-redhat to support centos5? Thx Rainer

Hi All, I've been going through the bug queue and there's a number that have been waiting for reporter feedback for a long time (in one case 7+ months). Would anyone consider it unduly harsh if I took an axe to the queue and closed any bugs (ie the unconfirmed or WORKSFORME type) that have been waiting for reporter feedback for more than, say, 3 months? (Unless there's a documented

Hi, I installed F14 on release, but was diquieted to note that my symlinked GotoBLAS (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Shared-BLAS, foot of paragraph) prevented R (compiled from source, no special configure options) from loading - everything had been fine on F < 14. It seems that: cat /selinux/booleans/allow_execstack is 1 1 on my RHEL systems, but became (?) 0 0 in F14.
