On my CentOS v5.2 server (dual Pentium4) the OpenSSH daemon stands out as being the most CPU-intensive of the applications running, It's used 176 minutes of CPU time in the last 2 days alone. Is there any way to lower the CPU utilization without compromising security? (I.e. without using a less processor-intensive encrypt/decrypt algorithm?) I'm getting the CPU use figures from top,

How can I completely disable audio drivers and services in my CentOS7 system? This system is a server that will never run any audio applications. The problem is, I can't disable the audio device in my BIOS, so the system finds it in the PCI device list and configures it on each boot. Yes, I know I can blacklist specific device driver modules, but I've got a minimum of 11

In the course of upgrading from CentOS 5.4 to CentOS 5.5 I changed from using the samba (v3.0.x) packages to the samba3x (v3.3.8) packages, mostly because the newer version was said to better support Win7. The Samba server services Linux, WinXP, and Win7 clients. Now I get many, many errors logged to the Samba logs shortly after 3:00 AM, but only from the Win7 clients. I get roughly 430

I can't get IPv6 routing to configure correctly despite everything I've read saying it should This is my network config on a fully-updated CentOS 5.8 system: # cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=my.hostname.com GATEWAY=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd IPV6_DEFAULTGW=2a02:aaaa.bbbb::1 IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=eth0 # cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

My LAN is running Samba v2.0.10 on RedHat Linux v7.1 and everything is running great. Not content to leave well enough alone, we will soon be converting all the Win98 clients to Win2K. What kind of Samba-related difficulties, if any, should I expect? Samba exports both shared drives and printers to the client machine on the Network. Client machines are given access to their home drives as

Hello. I need to set up a mail server for a small (~5 people) organization on CentOS 5.1. While I am very familiar with CentOS and Linux in general, I have zero experience in setting up a POP3(s)/SMTP mail server. I suppose eventually I'd like to do spam/virus filtering, but initially the simple sending/receiving of mail will be adequate. Can someone point me to a tutorial on setting

Since updating from 4.5 to 4.6 yesterday, I am getting a lot of CUPS errors. The error.log file is filling up with these messages: get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/printers' no good! And the access.log seems to be being polled often too, even in the absence of any print jobs submitted. On my network the CUPS-handled printer is exported from Samba. Given that the Samba

Given that I hardly ever use the CD-ROM drive, it makes no sense to have hal constantly polling it for new media. How can I disable this polling in CentOS 5.1? Thanks.

Hi, Is the tracker for the 5.3-release working properly? The only torrent I see actually downloading is CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-1to6. The other three for the i386 DVD and ditto for x86_64 (cd+dvd) are just sitting there. The availability and the number of connected peers in the swarm for each torrent is rather high though. Do torrent downloads work from a single tracker at centos.org, or are those

When an OS/2 or Win9x client logs into a (Linux) Samba v2.0.6 server the running smbd spawns a copy of itself. That second instance of smbd then handles all the shares for that client machine. In contrast, a Linux client which does multiple smbmounts (also Samba v2.0.6) will cause the server to spawn a copy of smbd for *each* smbmount mountpoint. This has the potential for using up a lot more

CentOS v5.1 insists on loading about a dozen audio-related drivers at boot time. Since this is a server machine, it will never run applications that require sound output. I tried setting "alias snd_cs46xx off" in modprobe.conf. Yet the system still loads that driver and the many, many other audio drivers that go with it. How can I disable the loading of audio drivers at boot

I've got several SMP machines, some running CentOS 4.3 and some running Fedora Core 4. All machine are kept fully updated. A few are Pentium3-based and a few are Pentium4-based. They are all running the irqbalance daemon. The distribution of interrupts across CPUs is indeed kept balanced, yet even after months of uptime ps shows no CPU use whatsoever by irqbalance. This from a

[I posted this problem a couple of weeks ago and got no responses. So I'm trying again] I have a couple of applications on a WinXP/SP2 system that use data files on a Samba (v2.2.12, on Linux) shared drive. Immediately after booting the WinXP system these data files cannot be seen, yet become visible when the share is browsed with Windows Explorer. These applications are started

When I attempted to build Samba (v2.0.7) on a LynxOS (v3.1) box I was told that configure could determine my operating system. LynxOS, for those that don't know, is a Unix-like RTOS. It comes with a binary version of Samba, but a) it's old and b) it's not built for encrypted passwords which means I can't access it from WinNT. Can anyone advise me on what it would take to build

Morning, somehow the upgrade to 4.4 broke mock on my system: | [angenenr at shutdown SPECS]$mock -r c3-i386 /home/angenenr/redhat/SRPMS/apache-ssl-2.8.28-2el4.src.rpm | init | clean | prep | This may take a while | Could not find useradd in chroot, maybe the install failed?

Hi All, first time post so please excuse any blunders We are specifying two servers using supermicro X7DBE+ MB and want to add on a SAS controller for Raid 10. We want to use the CentOS 4.4 X86_64 distro. We are currently considering an Intel CC SRCSAS144E SAS Raid Controller for the servers using 4 Fujitsu 147 GB SAS HDD, and a Adaptec SASC RAID 4805 8-port for the server using 6 Fujitsu

I recently installed CentOS 5.1 on a DL71 ASI notebook. After my yum update the timeout parameter in /boot/grub/grub.conf file has no effect. It sits at the grub screen forever unless I press the enter key to select a kernel, at which point it will boot. Any help or suggestions to fix this would be much appreciated CentOS release 5.2 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 on an i686 # grub.conf
