WAY Off topic here, but if anyone's in the Augusta, Georgia area and wants to work as a web developer(css, html, flash, php, photoshop and the other usual goodies), we've got a job opening.

For those of you who are going to do the update from the centos5 beta to centos 5 proper despite the warnings, this is a(n incomplete) list of instructions for how to accomplish this 1. Get yourself into runlevel 3 (telinit 3 from terminal) as the dbus update will die if you're in X. 2. Setenforce 0 # turn off selinux as there have been some unconfirmed reports that it will interfere with the

Okay, it's been a while since I've messed with EL4, and apparently I've gone stupid with respect to pam and properly enabling pam_tally2 in an appropriate fashion. My notes are for EL5, so if someone would be so kind as to smack me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

Hi, i would like to contribute to the WiKi. Lots of the articles are outdated... *Username: LucianMaly* *Proposed subject of my contribution(s): for example https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype <https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Skype> and https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection <https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection> plus some others* *Proposed location of my

Evolution (aka JimPerrin - or is this the other way around?) has been working on this excellent wiki article: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection However, the discussion is taking place at his own blog site http://www.bofh-hunter.com/ . Because this is a CentOS wiki article, I just wonder why we cannot do it here. Sure, his blog site may collect a wider audience, but we traditionally

Hello All, My username is MikeThompson The link to configure Aide at the bottom of this page: https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection Is dead, and says its dead, however, the old link to http://www.bofh-hunter.com/2008/04/10/centos-5-and-aide/ now redirects to a malicious website. One of my less than savvy users got his windows machine infected there last night. I'm wondering if it

Hello, There are some errors on the HowTos/OS_Protection page on the CentOS wiki. I would like to correct the errors.

I'm looking to do a bit more monitoring of my 3ware 9550 with smartd, and wanted to see what others were doing with smart for monitoring 3ware hardware. Do you have the smartd.conf configured to test, or simply monitor health status? Are you monitoring the drive as centos sees it (/dev/sdX) or are you using the 3ware /dev/twaX for monitoring? Opinions and discussions are welcome :-P --

As some folks on irc have pointed out, and has been covered a bit in the beta discussions: There is no longer a 'Minimal' install option for centos5 in anaconda, however if you choose 'Customize Now' and uncheck all the selections, you will get a minimal install that only requires disk1, and weighs in at around 594MB. With kickstart it is possible to further reduce the package

We're in the market for a new content system at work. Right now it's between KnowledgeTree and alfresco. Mostly we're looking for something with the ability to upload, tag with various meta-data, and share among various other systems via webdav, cifs, etc. Does anyone have any personal preferences or experiences with these two products? -- During times of universal deceit, telling

Hi all; On OS Hardening ( http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/OS_Protection ) there's a section on "Physical Protection" that includes requiring a single-user mode password. There's four lines that look something like this: echo "Require the root pw when booting into single user mode" >> /etc/inittab echo "~~:S:wait:/sbin/sulogin" >> /etc/inittab echo

For the people who are currently interested in java as it relates to centos now that Sun has GPL'd java there are some things to be aware of. The folks at jpackage.org are pretty much all over this development but it's not the bright shiny news everyone has made it out to be. Sun did a very good thing by moving java under the GPL, and they should be commended for FINALLY seeing the light

Hi guys, We already have some content to fill es/Repositories page ... When I tried to do so, an error appears saying that I have no access to change acl rights. That's rare to me because I'm just inserting content, no #acl line there . Do you know what this could be ? Thanks, al.

... which will hopefully be the last part. Sorry that it took that long, but I didn't have too much time on my hands over the last two months or so. This is what should be the last stages of opening up the wiki: a) I have changed the account creation page: <http://wiki-m.centos.org/UserPreferences>. Please view that page while logged out of wiki-m. b) While doing so I have

I have recently received an e-mail message regarding the above wiki page. I reproduce it, below, less the header. As I was the last to edit that page, I am mentioned in the details at its foot and that is from where the message author's error originates -- as I'm not the original creator of the page.

1) I'm actually not building a custom kernel per se, just one from the standard 2.6.11.4 with our configuration. I may be adding a custom driver, but unless I can get the standard kernel to boot,... 2) I have been told that after 2.6.11.4, support for the Infiniband driver is dropped, and we need that. If this is not the case, I would be delighted to know that and proceed accordingly.

Is there a way to make CentOS install unattended, right from the boot until I can SSH into it?. I'd like being able to boot a new Virtualbox virtual machine right from the CentOS ISO, and then from the Virtualbox host, ssh into the brand new VM client and customize it using SSH shell scripts (SU, yum install, etc). Is there any way to tweak the ISO to specify "unattended install"

Surely there' s a way to obtain the "window name" -which appears on the Window Manager' s Titlebar- for running processes, right?. Well, I can't find it... I mean, the names that appear below each icon when you alt-tab to switch an app to the foreground. Is there a simple way to obtain that data along with matching PIDs, from a Bash script? any built-in tools that provide
