SELinux had been running in permissive. I did not disable during install because of the warning about having to relabel the entire filesystem if I wish to re-enable it subsequently. That seems like a bad idea so I've always ran it in permissive rather than enforcing due to the first experience. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Some way to execute the compile before X is started. I am already detecting a kernel change and recompiles selected needed modules and reboots but this happens by /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

[CentOS] SELinux resource hog
Spinning off from the other thread about SELinux, I just tried to re-enable SELinux on my personal server hosting just email and forum for a small local community. Average load for this Intel Core 2 Duo box with 2GB of ram (usually with some 1GB free) was generally below 0.4 for the last 24hrs, averaging 0.23 based on MRTG. Once I did setenforce 1, load shot through the roof to fluctuate between 3 to 5. As per my past experience setroubleshootd started chewing up ram more than 600M and 500M worth of virt and res based on top. The server started crawling and php apps stopped communicating with mysql. I had to kill setroubleshootd in order to return things to normal. This again reflects my original experience with SELinux: massive resource hog and this is just a lowly loaded webserver.

Any difficult learning process naturally will teach more. However, when you're pressed for time to get something working and that is only a supplementary role (administrating the box) to your primary task, very often it's just easier and faster to make do with what works.

Well, to me an inherited IA64 is in the same department as, say, an inherited Onyx or StarFire 10k server. ;-) I'm not sure how stable the non-enterprise distros run on IA64 - due to limited availability outside the enterprise (HP discontinued the workstations years ago, AFAIK), testing is limited, too and stability always a concern.

You can specify multiple forwarders if you have more than one server already set up the way you want. Named will find one that works and cache the results locally for its time to live. Once you have a couple of robust boxes configured it is easier to do that on the rest than to deal with local zones everywhere. Or, if you really want to act as a secondary, just make a zone type of 'slave' and specify the masters and a file to hold the zone info. You will also have to permit the transfer to this host on the windows server side. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] HPLIP 3.9.2
thanks for the reply. I had no trouble on RHEL4 installing a version of HPLIP that supported my printers (LJ 4350n & Photosmart C6180) These are not new printers.

[CentOS] How to setup a "secondary DNS server" pulling zones from Win2k3?
Hello, we have a mixed environment at work: CentOS + Win2003 servers. The Win2k3 part contains: AD, DNS (inlc. dyndns), DHCP, DFS, Exchange. The CentOS part: NIS passwords + also a DNS server. So currently we have to update the Linux DNS server zone infos by hand: I export a text file from Windows DNS server and then edit it around using vim. On the Windows side however it's easy for me to setup additional DNS servers at other machines: I just configure them as "secondary" and they pull zone infos automatically. I wonder if there is a way to setup such a "secondary" DNS server under CentOS as well? And no, I'm not asking about how to setup a DNS-forwarder. (Because I want the Linux server to pull and maintain zone infos automatically and to work even if Windows-counterpart is down.)
