I want to install smarmontools v 5.40, and so I pulled the SRPM for 5.39 so I could patch and install... $ wget -Nc ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Workstation/en/os/SRPMS/smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm However, the install of the source fails. $ rpm -ivh smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm warning: smartmontools-5.39.1-2.el6.src.rpm: V3 RSA/MD5 signature: NOKEY, key ID

Isn't cached swap somewhat an oxymoron? Why cache virtual? Am I misunderstanding this line from top?

Hi, Currently I'm working on building chroot environment for a several users. The needs of those users are different, so the binaries and their libraries are differents too. The building process tends to be so tedious. I'm using a odd script to automatize the copy of needed libraries, but it not works very fine. ?Is there some tool to automatize the chroot jails creation/management?

Hi, there is a remote (VPS) Centos 4.2 server which *may* have been compromised. Reinstalling everything from scratch isn't a problem, it may even be an occasion to improve a few things, the question is another. There are backups of necessary shell script, ASCII configuration files and more or less important email (maildir format, if it matters) including messages with binary attachments in

I asked before (about 2 weeks) about this, and was told it was in testing. I wonder when it will be available. My GF is considering leaving Debian due to it not recognizing her hardware very well, and I thought a CentOS 5 LiveCD might be a reasonable way for her to see whether CentOS might do a better job. If no LiveCD is forthcoming soon, then I'll burn a copy of the CentOS 4 LiveCD and let

Hi We have an issue with one of our clients , they have a mail server with the /var/spool/imap partition as 150 GB . They need to take differential backup on to /backup partition ( a different HDD of total 250 GB space ) . We have tried dar , rsync, rdiff and impasync . But its is not sufficing the need as to take a lot of time and consumes a lot of I/O . Is there any back up solution that

I manage a web hosting server that we've recently upgraded, in part so we could accommodate a domain that will enable community mapping. In a recent exchange of mails one developer said: "I could build the package directly on the server machine you have, provided that the potential security risk posed by having compilers installed is not an issue." and another said:

Hi, How can i copy a file to another with the same name without being prompted for a confirmation ? I read the cp man page, but nada. Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, M?rio Gamito

I am considering installing CentOS 4.4, and am interested in how best to set up. I have been using FC2 and helping administer a Debian machine for a few years, but do not consider myself a Linux guru.

On bootup, it seems CentOS automatically mounts the floppy drive to /media/floppy. Is there a way to stop this from happening, short of removing the floppy drive from the system (as I don't use it)?

How can I make it so my users can not create folders with spaces in them? Or allow them to create such folders but rewrite them on the hardrive with a "_" or some other symbol. I have looked threw the wiki but couldn't find anything about folder name restrictions or folder name rewriting (rewrite the space to a "_"). Im having problems with some of the expire and compress

Hello all, I have a NFSroot'ed a couple of OS platforms so that servers can have the option (web access) to: a. boot off a CentOS NFS root over the network b. or LOCAL hardrive (FreeBSD).

I have been succesful in using syslinux to boot from a hard drive, by dd'ing a Linux (LRP) image onto the drive and then running syslinux (i.e. dd if=the_image of=/dev/hda followed by a syslinux /dev/hda), however I'm having problems getting it to work from a partition on the hardrive. I'm trying to use syslinux on a small 100MB FAT16 partition (same commands as before, just
