similar to: rsync to full disk

If I boot a 5.7 install disk with 'linux rescue selinux=0', let it start the network and detect the installed system, ssh seems to work, but rsync fails with "rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]). Shouldn't it work as long as the underlying ssh connection works? It doesn't prompt for the ssh password and using -essh doesn't change

On rare occasions I want to run a remote X command (like 'meld' to interactively merge changes in files) and normally 'ssh -Y remote_host' from a terminal in an NX/freenx window that is acting as my desktop to start and any X program subsequently started would open in a new window via X-forwarding - at least when the target is a 5.x host. I don't do it often enough to remember

Less, You are 100% right. Of course I brought up my eth0 - but, like you said, with no IP. Meanwhile, I brought up eth0.48 with 192.168.48.100. However, until I would bring up eth0 with an IP address (any in the network) I would have no connection. Why? That's what I fail to understand. Boris.

On earlier versions of Centos, I could boot the install CD in rescue mode, let it find and mount the installed system on the HD even when it was just one disk of RAID1 partitions (type=FD). When booting from the centos5 disk the attempt find the system gives a box that says 'You don't have any Linux partitions'. At the bottom of the screen there is something that says:

I see in CentOS 7 that /etc/localtime is a symlink (which seems sensible...) but in earlier versions it is a copy of some file from under /usr/share/zoneinfo. rpm -q --scripts tzdata does not show any postinstall script, so in the non-symlink versions, how does the copied /etc/localtime file get updated with new zone data? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Is it possible to partition a disk with Disk Druid and control the order of the partitions? I want to create my own boot and swap as RAID partitions but Disk Druid won't keep them in the order I want, no matter what I specify first. I've done this before by using fdisk to make the partitions before starting Disk Druid but I thought someone said this was an old bug and should have been

If you configure a static IP with the wired Ethernet plugged in, you probably want that static IP to continue being used when you unplug the Ethernet cable and NM

Oh, and if you don't have killall installed, you can use: ps -ef | grep yum to get the pid and then use: kill -TERM pid or easier even is: kill -TERM `pid of yum` Chris On Fri, Feb 20, 2015 at 4:13 PM, Chris Stone <axisml at gmail.com> wrote: > try CTRL-Z to put that running process in your shell to sleep, then: > > bg 1 > > to put the process in the background.

What's the correct response to a security scan that points out that apache versions below 2.2.14 have multiple known vulnerabilities? Is there an official document about what known vulnerabilities have been fixed in the RHEL/CentOS updates or do you have to wade through the changelog to try to find each thing? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

I know this isn't CentOS-specific, but it is probably a common problem - does anyone have a solution? If you mail something that is plain text from linux a recipient using outlook, it will remove line breaks more or less randomly. There is a way to tell outook to put them back as you read each message, but most people just think I sent it wrong. Is there something you can do to make a
