Good morning: We're about to start moving our public DNS to in-house managed servers. My first thought was "Linux + BIND" and we're done. Someone in another business unit's IT dept. has suggested tinydns be used. >From what I could find, it looks like this software hasn't really had any community drive behind it in a while. The latest RPMs on rpmforge are for red hat

Guys, There was some discussion a while ago on this list about making SFTP connections for users that don't have a "valid" shell. The solution i saw on the list was to use sftp-server as a shell. Now, that's fine and it seems to work. However, i would like to provide SFTP access to users with arbitrary shells, no matter if the shell exits immediately (/bin/false) or not (some

I just received a Wildcard TDM400P by FedEx yesterday. I noticed that the FXO/FXS modules use connectors similar to Ethernet. Now, i want to connect the TDM400P to the PSTN connector in the wall, and also to a regular analog phone. Both the PSTN conn and the phone use smaller connectors, typical for analog phones. I searched the "official" docs and the Wiki, there's good

Let's say I want to use a much newer kernel - even one from the future, such as the upcoming 2.6.24. :-) What would y'all smart folks do in this case, in order to avoid any possible nasty consequences? Would you import the config file from the original CentOS5 kernel into the new kernel, and let the kernel deal with the differences? I.e. have the old configuration as some sort of

I need a SATA RAID PCI card that works well with CentOS and is fully supported. Mandatory features: - works with the drivers already in the kernel, no additional drivers - can do RAID 0, 1 and 5 - hotswap - allows to monitor the status of the array and of each individual drive via a script (ideally run from cron) - works with very large SATA drives Nice to have features but not mandatory: -

Now, beyond discussions regarding the legitimacy of such a ruling (whether they have the legal, moral or whatever right to enforce it), there's the technical aspect. Suppose i provide VoIP services using Asterisk, and i fall under the incidence of the FCC ruling

If your Perl apps are unusually slow on CentOS 5, have a look at this blog: http://blog.vipul.net/2008/08/24/redhat-perl-what-a-tragedy/ In a nutshell: some Perl apps are 100x slower on RedHat / CentOS 5 compared to other distributions.

I looked in the yum repositories for CentOS 7 and I noticed that there are no packages for any of the major open source IPSec VPN apps - Openswan, strongSwan, etc. I'm pretty sure CentOS 6 had Openswan packages. What is the current consensus w.r.t. building an IPSec VPN "server" (concentrator, whatever) on CentOS 7, that will do site-to-site connections with Cisco hardware at

CentOS 7 How do I print something on the text-mode console right after the OS has finished booting? I've a virtual instance and I need to know its IP address after it has finished booting up, to know where to ssh into it. I've tried adding "ip -4 addr > /dev/tty0" to rc.local, but that obviously doesn't work, because the login prompt overwrites everything I do. --

I'm looking for a way to give VoIP capabilities to an existing PBX: it's made by Mitel and it's used in a small/medium environment (a few dozen phones, but the PBX has capabilities for up to 200, if i remember correctly). Any high-level guidelines on how to integrate Asterisk with a PBX that's already in use? Probably that particular PBX is not supported directly, but are there

I'm a Thunderbird user almost since day one, but now I'm looking for something else. For whatever reason, it doesn't work well for me - every once in a while it becomes non-responsive (UI completely frozen for several seconds, CPU usage goes to 100%) and I just can't afford to waste time waiting for the email software to start working again. My main desktop platform is Linux,

Have a look at these pages: http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2008/06/13/3ware-performance-in-centos/ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444759 I'm comparing the default 5.1 64bit kernel with the patched one posted in the bug report (kernel-2.6.18-53.1.21.el5.bz321111.x86_64) and I don't quite see any significant difference in write performance for this command: dd if=/dev/zero

I'm probably missing something really simple. I've installed an RH8 IAM in AWS and I'm trying to build packages on it. I've noticed there are many *-devel packages that I cannot install: ######################################## [ec2-user at site1-vpn ~]$ sudo yum install trousers-devel Last metadata expiration check: 1:10:41 ago on Thu 04 Jul 2019 01:01:14 AM UTC.

Is it possible to add caching to a pipe? cat blah | in_RAM_cache_here -s SIZE | something else I'm doing what is essentially a cat (*) from a DVD directly to an NFS share. It looks like the two media (DVD and NFS) have very different read / write behaviors, speeds and timings, and the overall process is not as fast as possible. So I was wondering if some kind of cache inbetween might be

So, my favorite RPM repository (EPEL) only has the ancient nagios-2.12 or so. What's the repo you use for Nagios 3? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

(I'm doing tests in a VirtualBox instance, so take this with a grain of salt.) If you give the VM only 512 MB of RAM, the text-mode installer kicks in. It does not prompt you to configure anything related to the network or hostname. The system boots up without a network interface configured. Also, it won't let you choose the install mode, I guess it defaults to Minimal (which is fine

Following Fabian's blog post re: RPMForge being rebuilt for EL5, I've a question: Are there any compatibility problems between RPMForge and EPEL? In other words, if I enabled EPEL previously, will I be able to enable RPMForge as well without running into trouble? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

I'm doing some experiments with GlusterFS. Most documents online suggest to install the glusterfs-package as if it was available directly in the repo, and therefore installable via a simple "yum install". Unless I'm wrong, it appears that this package is not in the repo for CentOS 6. Does anyone know what happened to it? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
