I do see such an indication (of a name appearing as a 'maintainer') of a sub-part. But MikaelFridh has not touched it in months, and seemingly lacks an enabled 'mailto' as no envelope appears next to his EditName [ ;) ]. He was added to the top for edit rights, did a couple changes, and then seemingly abandoned the 'Maintainer' role. I will remove the sub-section 'Maintainer' indication on that section next time I am in that page, absent him picking up the torch again. The revision history for a given page is under the 'info' button on every wiki page, and perhaps gives a better picture perhaps of who are tending a given page.

I don't see that we presently have a wiki page describing the process of requesting edit rights for persons newly coming and seeking such [my 'wiki search foo' may be weak]. http://wiki.centos.org/HowToContribute/EditingCentOSWiki is close, but not exactly right I would add the language I suggested there, or at: http://wiki.centos.org/EditGroup Thoughts? -- Russ herrold ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Solution - However, you can get to the info page by adding a '?action=info' to the page's URL. I have been wondering on this subject.

Dirk Hi Dirk, You're correct in your assumption that this is an SELinux issue. You need to write a custom policy to allow connection and writing to the socket. How to do this is covered in the SELinux Wiki guide here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux#head-faa96b3fdd922004cdb988c1989e56191c257c01 and luckily for you, the example used is for postgrey/postfix so you can use the example provided.

Re: [CentOS] Software Raid Expert Needed
My solution, please tell me if I'm right: -remove the entire sdb disk from raid -remove sda2 from raid -resize sda1 (the rest of disk) -copy partition table from sda to sdb -make raid between sda1/sdb1 and sda3 and sdb3 Is this possible?

RE: [CentOS] Software Raid Expert Needed
I think you are saying not only do you want to keep the data but also keep the whole system setup. Not sure how to do that...however.. If I could back the whole drive up on a third I would just start over and then move my config files and data over after done. Hope this tutorial helps, this is how I figured out how to do a raid 1.

I don't recall accusing you of that, you mention above you inherited that system, it's possible that whoever had it before you screwed it up before you got it. Did I mention I don't trust VPS either ?:) I pay a bit extra and co-lo my own server a local facility so I have complete control over it and knowledge of what is/is not installed (Runs Debian stable instead of CentOS since Debian has more packages that I want/need/like). I inherited more than 300 RHEL 3/4 systems earlier this year in various states of dysfunction. So I do have somewhat of an idea of how you feel! The previous admin didn't really know what they were doing in many cases. It'll probably be another 6-8 months before I have everything cleaned up at this rate(getting downtime to re-install each system fresh takes a while amongst my other projects). I'd rather not try to hunt down and fix every system, just backup, re-install and start fresh so everything is in a known good, consistent state.

[CentOS] Boot disk order: h/w vs. grub
I'm still having conceptual trouble with this one. I have two PATA and two SATA disks in my home system. When the system comes up, these are, espectively, /dev/hda, /dev/hdb, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. I have the boot order of the drives in the boot PROM set to boot from /dev/sda (hard drive 2), then /dev/hda (hd 0), and usually that works fine. /dev/sda is properly set up with the MBR and /boot lives there as well. However, when the system has to be shut down, usually for some length of time more than just a few seconds, when it comes back up, it can't find the boot image. I forgot how I got around this the first time. The second time, when it wasn't booting past the GRUB part of the grub announcement, I used the installation disk, booted into linux resuce mode, chroot'd to the actual system disk and re-did grub-install. Still, a few days later (last Tuesday) when my video card went south, I just edited the grub boot line to use root(hd2, 0) and it came up, followed by several reboots with unmodified grub config lines. I guess I'm wondering if there's some more permanent way around this issue. Do I need to overwrite the MBR on hd0? Should I reconfigure the system so the PATA drives are not connected to the m/b at all (i.e., usb enclosures)? Is this a bug in grub? All this is assuming that I do not get rid of the PATA drives and/or get a new m/b that has something else It seems strange that this should be such a pain, even though in a rather oddball way it makes sense.
