Have you tried editing the files in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/ or /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/ignore.conf ? Obvisouly not:) And I hope not either... Facilities are provided just for this in /etc/logwatch. The location you refer to will get over written on an update...

I just assumed there was something newer out there. 2007 was the last release notes for the version installed on centos. There is a newer version out there, but that would be off of the base repo and not sure if I want to go that route in the how-to. Dates aren't always a good judge of package

Re: [CentOS] tftp in 6.2

I use tftp + pxe booting routinely on EL6.2. To get help, you're going to need to share much more information about your setup, the errors/log messages, and what you've tried to do thus far. Right, but that's in a ro setup. SELinux is disabled on this machine, perms on /var/lib/tftpboot are 777.

Seems to only write the first block, or with some clients only a zero length file. Perms are obviously not an issue if at least one block can be written? Anyone know what might give? Thanks, jlc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org
