With all due respect to the various people, their hard work and associated repos, where is the best place to do a yum install for these two packages below in regards to an internet facing production Centos 4.4 server perl-IO-Zlib perl-Archive-Tar I noticed dag and karan repos appear to have it and my experience and research tells me that using CPAN is not an option for possible problems at

Greetings, A friend of mine is running 3.3 He asked what I thought about going to 4.4 I imagine it is best to backup and fresh install and migrate old configs and data What is the wisdom on the list I remember going from beta 3 to 3 a long time ago. Anyone ever upgrade from 3.x to 4.x without problem and how so? I didn't see a lot on the www other than some apt-get info Thanks in

Can someone please tell me what the name and or website of the open source realtime daemon or script is that automatically puts ip addresses in the hosts.deny file when servers are repeatedly probed for login/password pairs on ftp ports etc please?

Greetings Some time ago I briefly played with NFS. More recently with Samba. What I am wondering is if NFSv4 is already integrated into Centos 4 from upstream. Reference: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/6331/1/ if not, is there a timeline? Centos 5 ? and... is or can NFS be a compatible yet better replacement for Samba? thanks - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications

Please share some wisdom from the list... :-) Realistically there is some type of difference between an rpm made for an arch (like i386 or x86_64 etc) vrs an rpm with noarch I was just looking at and downloaded these two from dag perl-Archive-Tar-1.30-1.el4.rf.noarch.rpm perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm they are the latest and are not assigned to an architecture there are older rpms of

Okay, so far so good - and many thanks to all who jumped in on this one. Now, we would like to look into making some changes in XFS, but I didn't see a SRPM for the kernel-module-xfs for 42.0.8 - the most recent one is for 42.0.3. Is this usable, or is there somewhere (else?) I can get the SRPM for the 42.0.8 XFS? Thanks. > -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces at

Hello. I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I cannot get Wine to run anything under the Program Files folder.
