Is there another way to get rlocate to work on the stock kernel ? http://rlocate.sourceforge.net/#kernel_configuration WAIT. that says rlocate is a kernel MODULE. you don' need to recompile the whole kernel to build a module, you just need the kernel-devel RPM and build just the module. this is similar to building a driver. except. Before you start, check that you have Linux kernel version 2.6, and ``Enable different security models'' is set to yes. At the moment the stacking with other security modules is not implemented, so it is not possible to load other security modules with rlocate. The ``Default Linux Capabilities'' must be either disabled or set to 'M' in your kernel configuration in ``Security options'' section. Capability module cannot be loaded at the same time as rlocate. Disable also NSA SELinux. by the time you do all the stuff I'm reading there you won't be running CentOS. maybe yoiu'd be happier with a roll-your-own distribution like gentoo if this is what you really want. that module sounds pretty sketchy to me. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

From a terminal, su - did not seem to get me root access to the hard drive. What command should I have used, with the Live CD? The access I had was read only. (As it turns out, I could have fixed the problem, without the LiveCD, but I didn't know that, 3 days ago :-) ) TIA. Lanny snip (output of mount command) the boot partition, /dev/hda2 was mounted Read-Only (ro). To work around that little problem, simply: # mount /dev/hda2 -o rw,remount which remounts the partition Read-Write so you can work with it instead of only observe. Thanks! Now, I believe the Live CD is missing the chroot command. This means you have to do the bookkeeping manually. The grub.conf file (normally at /boot/grub/grub.conf) will now appear at /mnt/disc/hda2/grub/grub.conf. Note that there is no /boot in that path. Yes. The paths were very different, when running on the Live CD. And yes, the farther you are from the monitor, the clearer it all becomes. Many years ago, I bought a handheld VHF radio transceiver.

Kevin Kempter [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi All; I'm awaiting a new linux laptop that will be my primary work machine. I want to implement a strategy that allows me as easily as possible to revert back to a former state. My primary concern is a scenario where I apply system updates and it breaks something that for me is critical. I wonder if a simple rsync script would work. If so, here's what I'm thinking: 1) updates are available so I execute the rsync script which pulls any updated files from my laptop to a backup server/drive 2) apply updates 3) if something breaks (even if I can no longer login) I boot the laptop, run the rsync script in the opposite direction (push files from the backup drive to the laptop) I assume that if I were to execute step 3 above that my system would be in the exact state that it was before I ran the updates. Is this a correct assumption ? Are there better approaches ? Thanks in advance.. Look at rsnapshot, which is rsync based and enables hourly, daily, weekly and monthly rotating backups.

The standard way is strongly discouraged when building the CentOS kernel. The problem I see is that your patch does not apply verbatim on the CentOS kernel.

From a terminal, su - did not seem to get me root access to the hard drive. What command should I have used, with the Live CD? The access I had was read only.

RE: [CentOS] iptables starts blocking outbound http traffic
Filipe: I changed the firewall rules on the server that had stopped responding to not use ESTABLISHED. Now, one of the servers that was still using ESTABLISHED stopped responding. I am seeing logs like this in the syslog: OUTPUT IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=[myIP] DST=[otherIP] LEN=52 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=35076 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=36953 WINDOW=54 RES=0x00 ACK PSH FIN URGP=0 I did: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_count and it gave me: 615 That seems like the conntrack is not overflowing, but the firewall was blocking the outbound traffic. I updated all my servers to not use ESTABLISHED, but I am still baffled on how this could occur. Any other ideas? Thanks, Neil -- Neil Aggarwal, (832)245-7314, www.JAMMConsulting.com Eliminate junk email and reclaim your inbox. Visit http://www.spammilter.com for details. You are right that your conntrack table size is high enough and this should not be happening. It might be an attack, a synflood or something, that is causing this problem to happen. In that case, the semi-opened connections will be kept on the table, but as the other side will not complete the handshake, they will only be removed from the table after a timeout. I also think that when you stop Apache, there will be no process listening on port 80 anymore, and then conntrack may get rid of those semi-opened connections since the other side is not listening anymore. A lot of especulation here, but it might be what is affecting you. In any case, next time you have this same problem, considering looking at the counters to see if _count is reaching _max, that would confirm the hypothesis. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You should also omit the netmask since it does not make any sense. By the way, the error you have connect: Invalid argument is because ifup-eth uses arping to broadcast the new IP address to the local network, but as the interface really has no IP arping will not be able to send this information and will give you this error.
