similar to: CentOS 5 Minimal Install

I've been noticing yum updates on several servers I manage over the last few weeks, which I know I didn't perform and could not explain until this morning. At first I suspect a break-in, but found no other evidence or reason an intruder would run the yum updates I was viewing. Yum updates are logged in /var/log/yum.log, which is what Logwatch scans. Seems that the format of the log

Ran into a strange issue with XEN on CentOS that I think is specific to CentOS, which is why I'm starting by posting to this list first, I'll post on the XEN list depending on responses. My sense is this issue has something to do with how CentOS handles network setup on first boot of the XEN kernel. - Installed a brand new CentOS 5.3 server with minimal packages. - Installed XEN,

I am using Centos 5.2 as both my XEN host and guests. Both the XEN host and each XEN guest are up-to-date with the latest CentOS 5.2 updates. I've noticed over time that sometimes using init 6 (or init 0) in the guest works flawlessly and other times the guest will reach "Restarting System"/"System Halted" and hang. When this hang occurs the only way to finish the

Just prior to the time change, I made sure that ntpd and my timezone files were properly setup.

I performed a test install of CentOS Beta 5 on a system with two ~60 GB drives. When installing CentOS 4 on this system, I normally work thru setting up Software RAID with identically sized partitions on each drive. For my test, the CentOS installer only presented a single drive. I took the default of letting it do what it wanted. After looking over the system I have verified that /boot is

I was doing an Internet facing server reload for a client today and he mentioned that there is a minimal install selection somewhere and that I should take a disk 1 of centos 4.4 and it would be under custom Is this the case? How? I couldn't find it, nor could he after the fact. If it exists, where is it, or how do I get to it for future reference please? I usually use a centos server cd

Hello, I've got the first disk of centos5. I plan to do a minimal install, correct me but that's where you uncheck everything, what about base do you uncheck that as well? I am curious as to the 5.0 server CD? Anyway i want to implement software raid during the install. I've got two identical drives hda and hdb when i get to the disk partition screen, this is in text mode, do

Anyone besides me totally throw (most) caution into the wind and yum update any mission critical production 4.x boxen to 4.5 without any problems? 8-p - rh -- Abba Communications Spokane, WA www.abbacomm.net

All, For a production environment, I'd like to setup CentOS XEN guests as lightweight as possible. I'd like the XEN guests to be able to send nightly email as all CentOS servers do, but there is no reason to run a mail server as the CentOS Dom0 already has an email server running that can act as an email smart host. The options that seem most appealing to me are either ssmtp or sendmail

I think I am encountering a download file size limit on centos 4 with httpd-2.0.52 The file in question is 5.2G in size, it does not show up in a browser directory listing, and I'm getting the error in the http error_log value too large for defined data type: access can someone confirm that there is a 4GB limit (or other) in the standard apache 2.0 on CentOS 4?
