Hello, Today I built a custom kernel in CentOS 5 following the instructions on this page: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel It's excellent, but I have some remarks I would add: 1. %define buildid .your_identifier In the commented line, there is a space after the % sign. You have to manually remove this space. I think someone was bit by this a short while ago. I think making this

Hello, I noticed something unusual today. If I "du" a small file (couple of bytes) in CentOS 5, it tells me the file is using 8kb, while I was expecting 4kb which is the block size I'm using. I tried this on several CentOS 5 machines, both x86_64 and i386: $ echo test >test.txt $ ls -l test.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 filbranden filbranden 5 Mar 11 17:24 test.txt $ du -h test.txt 8.0K

I have a driver that requires installing the kernel sources (into my own rpmbuild tree, not the system) prior to compiling. I followed the info for centos6 here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source#head-a8dae925eec15786df9f6f8c918eff16bf67be0d I can successfully compile and install the module from tarball after manually prepping the kernel sources, but I need to turn this into

Hi all, I have installed the recommended installs from here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/RebuildSRPM I want to build a "ipfm" RPM on a CentOS 6.2, for legacy purpose. I cant immediately get rid of that piece of software, but we're on the move... So: $ wget http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/3/srodzaj/2/search/ipfm-0.11.5-alt1.src.rpm $ rpm -i --nomd5

Hi, For software development, projects are built through makefile. After building, I can run binary program. rpm is more convenient. Is there some tool that can build rpm? Thanks! Regards Andrew

Hello, I recently noticed that Thunderbird updates are missing from CentOS 5. First, I noticed that Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 is available in the "updates" repo of CentOS 5.2, but not on the "updates" repo of CentOS 5.3. The version in the "os" repo of CentOS 5.3 is 2.0.0.18. - Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 in CentOS 5.2 updates repo:

Hi, My boss asked me to harden a CentOS box by removing "hacker" tools, such as nmap, tcpdump, nc (netcat), telnet, etc. I would like to know which list of packages would you remove from a base install. I would appreciate if someone could point me to a "standard" way of doing this. I know there are procedures for hardening a machine (I remember reading about Bastille Linux)

We recently upgraded (as in, backup, reinstall, selective restore) a couple of servers from CentOS-3.9 to CentOS-5.1. This generally went smoothly but we've encountered one confusing problem with syslog. Under CentOS-3, syslog entries were always dated in the host local timezone. With CentOS-5.1, they're dated in UTC *most* of the time, but occasionally in the local timezone. This has

Hi! I was looking at the pictures and devroom of FOSDEM 2008 in www.centos.org. I was really interested in the presentations related to CentOS. Would you mind making them available somewhere on the site? I think that would be great documentation for some of the topics. In particular, I wonder what are Karanbir's opinions on "Hosting custom applications on CentOS 5", I guess I

Hi, We are porting some applications from CentOS 4 to CentOS 5, the applications use mmap, and we found out that they sometimes crash in CentOS 5. We found out that this is due to the fact that CentOS 5 does randomization of the address space when loading binaries, libraries, and when using mmap, so that is what's causing our problem. The thing is, I'm trying to google for it, but I did
