Thanks for the reply, mouss. First, a few questions if you don't mind - it's important to me to understand what's going on :-) If I use system-config-securitylevels with samba enabled I get the following two lines -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 137 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m state --state NEW -m udp --dport 138 -j ACCEPT while you advocate > -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 137 -j > ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.0.0/24 --dport 138 Since these two ports are labelled NETBIOS ports, I assume they are the ones used for samba. Does the system-config-securitylevels setting mean that they are accepted providing they match the state already defined above? And does yours tie it down to a more secure version, udp only? I specifically have opened port 143, as I was unable to read my mail without it. IIUC your version will tell iptables to accept anything from the LAN. Is that right? If so, I guess that specific port-opening can be removed. When I need an imap connection from outside the lan, the router port-forwards it. Is that then seen as a lan connection?

[CentOS] Whereis yum-rhn-plugin package?
Hi all,
I need to setup a repo server to allocate updates for RHEL3, RHEL4, RHEL5 and
CentOS5. Apart of mrrepo tool, I see that I can use reposync from yum-utils
package and yum-rhn-plugin package to setup a mirror update server. But I can't
to find yum-rhn-plugin under centos5 repo. Where is it?? Or I need to use

Other partitions on the (apparent) device in use? If so, you need to umount them and then (I use) sfdisk -R . If the fdisk changes were written to the device, this should reload the kernel's view of that device. BTW, *before* shrinking the partition, be sure the (live?) file system has been shrunk (if shrinking). If enlarging, do the resize2fs *after* the kernel knows about the new size. Other: if LVM is active on that partition or device, it also needs to be inactive ATT the fdisk/sfdisk is done. This means that LVM meta-data for the partition may be incorrect after changes have bee done. > > Thanks, > Scott > I *think* I got all that right.

[CentOS] Disk partitions and LVM limits
Hi, I've got a DAS DELL MD1000 with a bunch of SATA drives in RAID 5 configuration with total space of 5.4TB. This box is attached to a CentOS5 system (kernel 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5).

You should be able to run a NAT'd virtual network adapter pointed at your atheros wifi card. The VM won't see it as a wifi card but rather a normal network card. Last I checked you couldn't run a bridged virtual network card against a wireless card due to some missing functionality in many wireless card drivers.

There is no such thing as a 64bit i586 CPU. With regards to Intel CPUs, the original Pentiums are i586. Everything after that (PentiumPro, PentiumII, III, and IV) is i686. Earlier PentiumIV are 32bit only, later chips added the 64bit instructions and registers.

I'd suggest installing a copy of the driver on a test system, build a list of files that the installer creates, then copying those files in kickstart, or package it as a custom RPM(or find an existing RPM). When a new kernel comes out, compile the driver on a test system, and push the driver out with the new kernel when you install the new kernel on your system(s).

You should be able to run a NAT'd virtual network adapter pointed at your atheros wifi card. The VM won't see it as a wifi card but rather a normal network card.

I believe there is a 2TB limit on fdisk MBR partition tables, and if one already exists on the disk then LVM will use it. Do, pvremove /dev/sdX dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=63 pvcreate /dev/sdX Do a 'pvs' to list the pv and see it's size there. When creating a vg there may be a limit on the total # of extents per vg, so you may have to increase the extent size from 4MB to 8 or 16. -Ross __ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

[CentOS] Network Installation of CentOS disk image via PXE
Hello all, I've deployed new servers - installing new CentOS servers via PXE booting using its iso distribution stored on an NFS server. For certain server types; I'd like to install custom applications into a server and then generate an image of that server, and deploy again via PXE to another group of servers. Wanted to find out if anyone can forward any pointers to papers or links on: 1. Best and (cheapest) way to create disk image (that can be used for over the network installation over PXE) of an existing CentOS server with all its custom apps and packages ... would this be dd? would this take a long time? 2. Would like to find out if you can point me to a guide or doc - that specifically describes this process; most PXE install notes out there describe the PXE config setup and assumes an ISO image (to create a new server), as opposed to deploying a "ghosted" image of an existing server. 3. In a deployment of a "ghosted" image - would the DHCP automatically request for a new IP address upon completion of the installation on the target machine (since when I ghost the source machine, the network information will contain that source's machine IP address, MAC, etc. etc.) Thanks in advance .. -- best, Vince ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I need CentOS 5.X. I've been using CentOS from the beginning of the project. I won't consider another distro in production systems. -Ken - Message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2008 18:56:58 -0500 From: Ken Price <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: CentOS mailing list Subject: [CentOS] CentOS 5.1 Core 2 Duo Install freezes To: CentOS mailing list Alrighty.

Hmm, does no one run TightVNC? What about the regular VNC that comes with CentOS? I may change back to that and see how it runs. Any ideas?

Re: [CentOS] resolv.conf question
Hello,
I have a centos 4.6 system acting as a router for my local network. I
obtain my eth0 IP address automatically via DHCP from my ISP, sc.rr.com. If
I add 127.0.0.1 to resolv.conf, it won't save it. I tried adding this to my
dhclient.conf
lease {
option domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
}
The above is the only entry in the file.
Don't know it caused it but my system locked up 3 times since adding this.
Deleted the file and its fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
You could modify your /etc/resolv.conf to your desired settings,
including your ISP's DNS servers and your own localhost DNS server and
then add "PEERDNS=no" to your ifcfg-eth0 file.

[CentOS] IPtables Possibility
Hi, I just wonder if I can replace PIX firewall with machine having IPTable as my firewall. I want to control our firewall but due to the lack of knowledge in configuring PIX, i want to replace it with Linux or BSD. I do not have the time now to learn the complexity of PIX and yet I want to know what happening in my firewall and control it as much as possible. Do you think it is justifiable for me to replace it? Can you please provide me your inputs?

Yes. I'm using matched pairs of DDR2 667Mhz. Hmmm. Actually, the Celeron's are using DDR2 533Mhz ... according to Crucial these work in this MB. Guess that's one more thing to try with the dual core processors. you might just try running the 667Mhz ram at 533Mhz if there's jumpers or a bios setting. if this works, and htere are fine tuning settings for the ram, you might try the original 667 speed only add a clock to the CAS precharge (again, ift he BIOS has advanced manual memory timing options, some boards do, some don't) btw, have you tried running memtest86 on these systems ? ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Can you please provide > me your inputs? Thank you very much. Personally I'd go with OpenBSD with pf. It's real easy to use, much more powerful than IP Tables, and, well just better. I've been running OpenBSD firewalls for a few years now, before that my favorite was FreeBSD with ipfw(before bridging was common in linux). All of my BSD firewalls are bridging firewalls. The most annoying thing about OpenBSD is the partitioning setup during installation. I can't believe they haven't changed it in as long as I've been using it(about 7 years now). Despite having used linux/unix systems for about 13 years I still get confused when I get to that screen in the installation (I don't install it very often). I've installed HPUX, AIX, Tru64, Solaris, tons of Linux distros, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD, and probably a couple others I've forgotten, and still that fdisk-type tool that OpenBSD uses is so confusing.

[CentOS] Create a Yum repository for CentOS 5?
Hi, I'm using CentOS 5.1 on both server and desktops. I have a series of packages that I either rebuilt from CentOS SRPMS to modify them according to my needs (PHP for example), or that I built from Fedora Core SRPMS because they're not available on CentOS nor in the RPMForge repos (Seamonkey, MPD with libshout support, xmms-wma, ...). I want to create my own remote Yum repository for these packages, but I don't quite know how to achieve that. I've done something similar with Slackware and swaret before, though, so I sort of grasp the logic behind it. Is it possible to do that on a remote server where I only have FTP access? E. g. somehow create the repo locally on one build box, copy the whole tree over to the remote machine and then add some according file/stanza in /etc/yum.repos.d/ ? cheers, Niki ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
