similar to: Yum question - RHEL4

I'm looking at this document to convert RHEL4 systems to Yum and setup an updates repository. http://sial.org/howto/yum/ Which version of yum would you recommend for that? What would be the dependencies that need to be installed? Any guidelines for installing Yum on RHEL4 without breaking the RPM dependencies and stuff (and with minimal changes to the system)? The document recommends

Hi List; Sorry for the OT post. However I suspect if anyone outside of RH can help with this question it would be this list. I'm starting a new contract with a shop that knows little about Linux and I'm helping pave the way. I've "inherited" an existing Linux install (RHEL4). I want to setup some tools but I find that yum is not installed. Is this normal for a RH box ? I

Hello guys, I would like to configure my puppet to use "yum" instead "up2date" (default RHEL4).

Hi, - the download page links to /RPM/rhel/ instead of /RPM/rhel4/ - the location of repos.d in DAG's yum (I guess where most people would get yum for RHEL) is /etc/yum.repos.d/ rhel4 works with yum but ... could you sign the packages - it's risky to use an unsigned repository (only have to compromise the web server to own any system updating from it)? up2date requires a

I just installed CentOS 4.4 on my laptop, having good experience with Debian, Fedora Core 5, and RHEL4. I really like 4.4's overall appearance (meshing of RHEL4 and FC5), but what I have yet to figure out is how to access repositories for applications that are not part of the default install, such as ncftp. I invoked and updated yum, but it had no idea. I would also like to see what

Hi I have 2 machines with RHEL 5.2 and I would like to use CentOS repos. I would like to know if the document "Using CentOS Repositories on RHEL Machines"[1] can be used in CentOS 5.2 without too much modifications. Thanks Marcelo [1] http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/YumOnRHEL

Well, it looks like we are stuck... I can't figure out what to do next. ads_connect: Program lacks support for encryption type here's the whole story: We've been using winbind successfully for over a year now, rhel3 variants(scientific linux 3), some run rhel3's default samba, others use the packages from http://enterprisesamba.com/ we started out using the NT4 compatability

Hi I am after a solution where i can easily kickstart many, read hundreds, of boxes in a short time frame. Perhaps the way i install software is to actually re-kix the box with a new software baseline - that type of idea. I have looked at rocks and it looks good but it seems a little rigid in that i need to be able to determine certain things like hostname etc as in our env hostname

Hi Well we are now using HP instead of Dell and have hit a major hurdle. We dont seem to be able to kix any of these boxes. I have been most recently trying on a dl585 and the issue appears to be that the kix kernel does not detect any nic. Its strange as the box can be installed using iso's and the nic appears as eth0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5706 1000Base-T (A2) PCI-X 64-bit 100MHz

Hi all, We have Samba 3 up to and including 3.0.9 working fine using LDAP for the backend. XP and 9X logons work fine. On upgrading to newer versions (inc. 3.0.11, 3.0.14a and tried 3.0.20), in the same configuration, 9X logons stop working properly - they authenticate, but fail to get information such as groups and user's full name. XP still works fine. We use KIX for our logon

Hi Some time ago there was a discussion on the above subject. I have scanned the past few month's mailing list archives and cannot find the relevant mail(s). Could somebody please repost the solution or point me at the correct resource. I would also appreciate advice on how to do this on a RHEL4 server being updated with up2date. Is it safe just to delete the old kernel and initrd

I am working on some initial testing of puppet and noticed that when using the package type, I see this in my client logs (from different runs): warning: Found multiple default providers for package: up2date, yum; using up2date warning: Found multiple default providers for package: yum, up2date; using yum This is on a CentOS 4.4 client with puppet-0.22.0-1.el4 (from dlutter repo).

Hi, What's does a group like 'CPB\unix_group.2147483404' mean? I get al sorts of group when I run the following kix-script that are recognizable and some that are not. Why? running samba-2.2.3a with domainname CPB. ================ groups.kix ====================== $index = 0 DO $group = ENUMGROUP($index) ? $group $index = $index + 1 UNTIL Len($group) = 0

Hello, I use puppet with RHEL and there are some packages that aren''t in up2date/yum repositories. I need a way to get these specific RPMs installed. There''s a blog posting that describes an almost-perfect way to do it: http://www.raskas.be/blog/2007/09/10/managing-user-passwords-with-puppet-on-centos/ The only problem with his example is that the RPM will always in the /tmp

I get the following error when trying to mount: Nothing changed (in any case not that I know of). I get the same error from both nodes.

How can I install a lot (more than 800) of APT packages using an easy way in puppet? I mean, using some file.txt where I put there the packages I want to install and my package resource get the list . Is it possible? Or do I have to put all packages in the package resource? regards, Israel. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed

Hi. I'm fairly new with CentOS but have been using version 4.2 with great satisfaction (Thank you!). I've been using repos such as Dag and Dries successfully to keep my packages up to date. (I've seen many posts which allow me to believe that these repos won't change CentOS compatibility to RHEL4 or to migrate it another distro for that matter!) My question applies to the

Is there instructions on how to use the patchless client on RHEL4 ? For version 1.6.2 We would prefer a rpm, but we are not scared of doing a build if needed. Brock Palen Center for Advanced Computing brockp at umich.edu (734)936-1985
