BUT, as more and more people migrate from FC to CentOS, I thought placing this reminder here was worthwhile. [I am still running *cough* FC5 on my own desktop, so I am also running out of time] For those of us migrating from ancient versions of Fedora, what gotchas might one expect? If you are using php, you may need to look at programs to make sure they run on newer versions of PHP and upgrade if required (horde needs to be greater than a certain level to run on php-5, for example) I'm working on migrating from a pre-SELinux Fedora, and SELinux has been the biggest headache so far. I'm also expecting to migrate Dovecot from 0.99 to 1.0, and there's a page on the Dovecot wiki about that. I've seen the recent list traffic about BIND's lack of default config, so I'm expecting that, and it's not a problem. WRT SELinux ... these are your friends: chcon -R system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t path (lets apache run cgi scripts in directories not in /var/www/cgi-bin) chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t path (lets apache access directories outside /var/www/) many more SELINUX things from here: man httpd_selinux and here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/selg-overview.html If you are dealing with apache and a modified httpd.conf file ... the first thing I recommend is that you use /etc/httpd/conf.d/ and a conf file for as many things as possible. Also, to use a different conf file for each kind of service/site within conf.d/ This keeps your httpd.conf file as close to standard as possible, and allows you to easily upgrade to new versions where module names are different, etc. It also allows you to move services/sites over and troubleshoot issues much more easily than a full migration of everything. One thing I like to do is keep a non modified copy of httpd.conf from the original RPM ... and run a diff between the standard and my httpd.conf ... I then know what was changed on that machine ... and can either roll it into the new httpd on the new machine, or split it out to a conf.d/file.conf file. If you did not save the httpd.conf file from your current httpd-version.rpm ... you can get it using cpio2rpm like this: 1. get a copy of the original RPM (should be available on a Fedora, RedHat, CentOS, SciLinux, WBWL etc. mirror site that you installed it from) 2. Create a directory and put the RPM in there. 3. CD to the new directory an make sure the only file in there is the RPM. 4. Use this command to extract all the files from that RPM to the current directory: rpm2cpio rpm_name | cpio -idv 5. All the files are now in the current directory in the path that they would have been installed ... so this is the original config file: current_directory/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf My plan is to install CentOS to a new box, and migrate services one by one as needed. That is the way I recommend doing it. Keep the old one working while you fix the issues on the new one.

You'll get an address like 192.168.1.2 from the router. You don't need ppp0 at all; to Centos the router appears like a LAN that routes to the Internet. In Windows, do ipconfig in a Command window, and you'll see what I mean. You should see something similar with ifconfig in Centos. Dan: Thank you for replying! I will try what you suggested, ASAP. Yesterday was Friday the 13th I need to get this working, before I try to get my Firewall/Router working! Lanny Some pain-in-the-ass ISP's force you to do PPPoE instead of DHCP. Some give you a DSL modem that does NAT and the PPPoE stuff for you, some don't. If you have one that doesn't, a cheap Linksys router can do the NAT and PPPoE for you if you don't fee comfortable doing it in Linux. I prefer to to use a Sangoma S518 ADSL PCI card for $120US and do everything on the Linux side. Fortunately, I have a static and not dynamic address, but the majority is the same. The big advantage is that I can do traffic shaping / QoS without dealing with massive modem buffers which can totally screw that up. It's good enough that I can run torrents, interactive ssh sessions, and VoIP calls all at the same time on a 1.5/384 DSL connection. While this doesn't fix your problem, it's food for thought. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Postfix Question

I've read through smatterings of postings from Neophasis and the like searching for just the syntax and what file (I assume it's main.cf) I should be using; however, any smtpd_ lines I have tried result in postfix hanging and refusing to deliver mail. smtpd_* is the wrong configuration option. It applies to Postfix acting as server, while you want to configure Postfix being the client. So you have to read through man 5 postconf for smtp_ (smtp_tls_*) options. I could simply cease using smarthost, but my ip address is dynamic (yes I know stop yelling at me I'm poor right now) so mail bounces to some domains if I don't use smarthost. The server I'm running postfix on is CentOS 4 (fully updated). Postfix version is 2.2.10-1.1.el4 (from rpm -qa). I have not had sufficient downtime to upgrade to CentOS 5. Should I do that?

[CentOS] Centos on a Flash drive and Micro drive
I am considering putting together a 'micro server' that I can easily travel with. I am seriously considering the decTOP, as at $99 (plus the cost of a 256MB SIMM) is amazingly priced. But I want to run on batteries, so trash a real hard drive. I have a couple of IDE to Compact flash adapters that support 2 flash cards. So I was considering a 4Gb (or even 2Gb) cheap real fash card for the OS and a 4 or 8 Gb micro drive (I have a 4Gb sitting in a drawer gathering dust got to figure out how to fix its paritions that I messed up). So I was thinking to put the more static parts of the OS on the flash card and the not static parts on the micro drive. Obviously the Swap partition, /home, and /var/log go onto the micro drive. What else? /tmp? Are /dev and /proc real things on disk or only pointers to the various devices? And then how do I put all these directory trees on the micro drive. I currently use a LVM partition for my /home on my notebook, but this is a lot more. Do I do Symbolic links? Or what. Are there any howtos? I have not found anything to help me so far. Probably got at least a week to figure this out. Obviously I don't have the system right now. And monday it is off to San Fran for the IEEE 802 meeting... (and the following week IETF in Chicago, family gets really upset when I have these 'back-to-back' conferences). ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
