I have a new ESXi server (5.x), and trying to load some VM guests on there. I have the guests configured, but when I try and boot from ISO image, the graphics are so bad it is futile. No worries I normally use kickstart anyways. Because the ESXi (on the same network as my physical servers) cannot talk to the PXE server. But works fine on the network (I can ssh/scp in and out of the ESXi

I am setting up bind this time around (just rebuilt my test machine via Kickstart) without chroot. I have a fair number of includes for named.conf; I have two views and other odds and ends. My thoughts are to make a directory; /etc/named.d to put all these includes into instead of 'dirtying' up /etc. This way the only files I replace/add to /etc are named.conf and rndc.key (I would

we have CENTOS 5.2 on DELL server. we need allow a user can "su" to another user without password. for example: account user1 can "su - user2" without password. (user2 is NOT root) I know this is big security risk but .... Anyone know how to do it? Thanks.

I have a Dell server that has two built-in ethernet devices. When I kickstart the machine, they are correctly identified as eth0 and eth1 (correctly meaning they correspond to the physical device ports 1 and 2). I need a third one and want that to come up as eth2. After adding the hardware, kickstart now fails because for some reason it goes through a rename process where it makes the newly added

Hello, I am going to build an email server on Centos for a small, private group of users and I just want to encrypt all communications between that server and the (remote) email clients of those users (or they browsers, when they use webmail). Client certificates are not necessary, at least now. I understand that to do that I need to create my own SSL CA, create with it a self signed certificate

Starting back in RHEL/Cent 5 I found that the only way to make sure your interface enumeration was consistent after install with what you had during install was to create a udev rules file using the mac addresses as the key. It is easy to run a short script in postinstall to create it based on how anaconda has seen them. In order for this to work on Cent 6 you have to set biosdevname=0

I've currently got the nx-1.5.0-1.centos4.i386, freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch, and nxclient-1.5.0-141.i386 packages installed on a couple of CentOS 4 update 3 systems and I'm getting the same results on all of them. I got the new version of freenx via "yum update" and it appears to have "broken" fullscreen mode. The connection config file I have been using does have the

Hi List, Does anyone know of any type of radio tuner software available for CentOS in either 32 or 64-bit versions? The card is an ATI X600. I've got the video driver from ATI installed, but they do not have any other user level software available. I think I remember reading something about some software being available for the BT chipset, but I'm a tad out of date on that.

Here is my script for post install if you want to try it. In order for the shuffling to not occur you do need to create the udev rules file somehow. I am not sure how mangled this will be in email but it is worth a try. It should run OK with nothing else. I have a better version in the works but the enhancements are mainly useful for Fedora 19-21. I did forget to say I also block

Define out of order in this case just so I know for sure what you mean. What my solution does, or at least does reliably in my case, is make sure the interfaces are in the same order once installed as the install kernel saw them. It won't re-order them to be sequential based on bus, mac or driver. I am working on that but it will also include naming the devices based on the module
