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

Hello, As discussed on the centos-users list, I would like to create some pages on the CentOS Wiki with instructions on how to set up your environment to build RPMs and how to rebuild RPMs. This content today exists here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source#head-a8dae925eec15786df9f6f8c918eff16bf67be0d I would suggest creating these two: 1)

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 are tried to count how many files belong to certain group. Our system administrator told us "non-owner" can easy change file group name to another. I have been tried several combination and never successful (only ROOT can change file group to other name). Does anyone know how "no-owner" can change file group name? Thanks.

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

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

Just a quick ping to the general m/l. Is there a SAN expert out there who could spare some time to have a look at this forum post, please? URL -- http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=20273&forum=39 Alan.

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

Hello: The box is dual boot (Win XP & CentOS 5). A Dell Dimension 4300 Celeron. There was an intermittent problem with this last year and last Thanksgiving, I wiped the HD and installed Win XP and CentOS 5 clean. My daughter asked me to install KStars which is in the kdeedu RPM on the Fedora Core 6 Install DVD. I did that, without any problems, on my box and on my wife's box. On the

Hi, my name is Thiago Avelino, I'm Brazilian, talks in Brazil on CentOS (RedHat), part of porjeto LXDE (Development).

Today I have a mirror of CentOS in Brazil

Hi, Small correction there. Example 4 of section 2 (how to use XFS with CentOSPlus kernel) says you should use this configuration line in [centosplus] section of yum: includepkgs=kernel* xfs* dmapi* However, the XFS module's package name is kmod-xfs*, so I believe it should actually be: includepkgs=kernel* kmod-xfs* xfs* dmapi* I did this on a system of mine, and in the first case it did

My environment is "heterogeneous" my authentication and home server are currently stuck on a 1G shared network, the production servers and storage servers are on a bonded 40G network, all are in the same VLAN. I have about 100 servers on the 40GB bonded network each with 12cores and 128GB of memory. They are running centos 6.6 Except for my storage servers they are all just running

Hi, Is anyone chrooting users that connect through SSH? I looked for it on Google and I basically saw several methods: - OpenSSH 5 supports ChrootDirectory (FC9 apparently has RPMs that probably could be rebuilt under CentOS 5) - There seem to be several patches for OpenSSH 4.x to do the chroot, the most popular seems to be http://chrootssh.sf.net/ - There appears to be a pam_chroot - There are
