Re: [CentOS-es] Ahora si Centos 5.4
Hola a todos parece que hay algunos problemas en las descargas de centos 5.4, he hecho la descarga 2 veces de esta direccion http://mirror.seiri.com/5.4/isos/i386/ , la pimera ves se detuvo en 300Mb y finalizo la descarga, ahora me descargo la imagen a 600Mb, y no creo que esa cantidad corresponda a la descarga que dice que tiene 3.7Gb, si alguien descargo ya centos puede pasarme el link para hacerlo por favor no deseo nuevamente dejar mi pc dos noches en vano con las descargas, gracias Saludos. P.D. Me olvidaba si alguien conoce un programa confiable para verficar si la integridad del archivo iso Centos, tambien hagamelo saber gracias.

Creo que en la lista se han discutido todos ellos y algunos más, puedes encontrar referencias en los archivos de la lista. Webmin está muy bien realizado, y a los otros no los conozco pero sé que resuelven el problema que se pretende resolver. Sin embargo, personalmente no te recomendaría acostumbrarte a un panel de control... cuando hay algo que no anda se hace más difícil encontrar el problema, y cuando no tienes el dichoso panel de control instalado, o no tienes acceso con navegador al equipo, no sabes administrar casi nada. El panel es útil para acortar los tiempos, pero también pienso que es indispensable saber arreglárselas sin él. Para esto la herramienta fundamental es la consola y el SSH, que te permiten operar sobre los archivos de texto de configuración del sistema, cada uno con su sintaxis y sus mañas.

Does anyone else have one of these on 24/7 running RHEL 5.4 or Centos 5.4 ?? That box mysteriously stops ( no crash data, it just stops) hours or days after boot, with or without X. Cntl-Alt-Delete reboots it without power cycling. The usual diagnostics (memtest and fsck) return no errors. Works great until it freezes. No evidence of kernel oops anywhere. If others report the same issues we will scrap the board. Otherwise I will continue to investigate what is happening, since it is no fun to pull the board out and replace with an atom processor and it is not critical. The hard disk in it came from an Athlon M board that died an untimely death this week. Service cpufreq reports unavailable so I am assuming that it is turned off. Could the cpu freqquency control be doing something without tellling us? We havea power monitor on it so I can discern if it dies with max cpu activity or not. Also I am leaving it run top without screensaver so I can see if a particular load or program is borking it. Am I missing something obvious here?

In my humble opinion, the wiki article should provide ample explanation. Failing that, it should at least offer alternative methods (for example, use of exclude= etc ?). If not, it would be basically saying, do not use 3rd party repositories. People come to this page because they need/want/have to resort to 3rd party repos. When asked in the CentOS forums, I refer them to the Repositories article and I continue to advise them to use the priorities plugin.

I use yum-priorities on all boxen that have non-CentOS repos
configured; I've not hit a single snag with it yet. YMMV.
yum-priorities doesn't appear in RHEL 5.4 but protectbase does. Is that
the better choice and if so why?
It has been pushed out, I believe, to the extras repo and is
currently available there:

extras yum-priorities
For some reason it was not in the base 5.4 distribution.

This note was placed on the wiki (PackageManagement/Yum?Priorities) without any explanation why yum-priorities isn't a good idea. yum-priorities doesn't appear in RHEL 5.4 but protectbase does. Is that the better choice and if so why? It's not really yum-priorities, so much as what it does and how it acts. In a perfect world, you would not need to add additional repositories to get all the software you want. However that's rarely the case. What ends up happening is that you have multiple repositories that provide the same thing, sometimes under different names. You end up mixing dependencies between repositories, so some things are protected, some pull in deps from the wrong repository... fire and brimstone, dead rising from graves, dogs and cats start living together. The whole mess introduces some really odd logic edge cases for yum that should in theory never be encountered. It's basically a software solution to a management problem. If you're careful about what you're doing, it's fine. If you enable every single repository you can find for centos, it's going to end up causing you some issues. The long and short of it boils down to how rpm is implemented, how different packagers package things, and how ignorant the average user wants to be to the internal workings of the system. Most folks just to have it work, end of story. Yum gets caught in the middle, and priorities, while good, is a hack that allows user freedom that comes with some really ugly thinking. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

[CentOS] dnsmasq - where to use? where not?
Hi list, On updating my server today, I noted that dnsmasq was updated, I do not recall installing this onto my server as it is running bind/named and dhcpd, thus why does it need dnsmasq? So I did a $ sudo yum remove dnsmasq to find out what rpm / yum thinks about it - I get a list of NetworkManager(-glib) removals evolution(-connector) removals krb5-auth-dialog also.. I think I can live without NetworkManager and evolution on this server, but why krb5-auth-dialog?? Any suggestions appreciated.

Akemi Yagi wrote: In my humble opinion, the wiki article should provide ample explanation. Failing that, it should at least offer alternative methods (for example, use of exclude= etc ?). If not, it would be basically saying, do not use 3rd party repositories. You can't escape the fact that when you use 3rd party repositories that do not coordinate their package names and dependencies, having a working system is just a matter of luck and chance. Or that when the base repositories exclude packages by policy, that you will be forced to use 3rd party repos. So, good luck. I generally leave the extra repos disabled in the yum configuration and install/update the packages I want from them with: yum --enablerepo=reponame install packagename but there's still a chance that one of these packages or something pulled as a dependency will cause subsequent conflicts. People come to this page because they need/want/have to resort to 3rd party repos. When asked in the CentOS forums, I refer them to the Repositories article and I continue to advise them to use the priorities plugin. It doesn't matter how you do it. There is still a chance that a file included in a 3rd party package that you install will subsequently be included in a base package update. And then you'll have the conflict regardless of any way you try to control the priorities. An example now would be if you had installed something that required libgcrypt11 from ATrpms.

This exact problem occurred with java-1.6.0-openjdk, when it was originally part of the EPEL addon repository, but then Red Hat released it as an official part of RHEL with the 5.3 release (IIRC). The problem this caused users of the EPEL package, was that the Red Hat openjdk was an _older_ version of the package, and did not come with the web browser plugin. The EPEL repository withdrew their package so as not to conflict with the Red Hat packages. As a result, people whom found the EPEL openjdk browser plugin worked fine for what they need now lost their plugin leaving the following choices: 1) Use the Red Hat openjdk and not have a browser plugin. 2) Install Sun or IBM Java instead. 3) Remove the official Red Hat openjdk, get a copy of the original EPEL openjdk and rebuild it for yourself, and use that. I've used multiple repositories on various OS releases for a while now, and you do need to use some creative yum configuration to try and keep a clean system when doing so, but unfortunately no configuration is likely to ever completely prevent all possible cross-repository problems that could occur. ;o/ The best we can hope for, is that in future releases, the primary official repository continues to get larger and larger, and that any 3rd party repositories work more closely together to resolve potential conflicts and other issues. - -- Mike A.

[CentOS] again, nic driver order
I have two servers with identical hardware ... TYAN i3210w system
boards with dual intel gigabit interfaces, and a PCI intel gigabit
nic. I'm running Centos 5.4, x86_64, 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5
Every other time I reboot, the nics initialize in a different order.
anaconda had setup /etc/modprobe.conf with alias lines for the cards:
alias eth0 e1000
alias eth1 e1000e
alias eth2 e1000e
However, introducing the bonding driver into the mix seems to have
thrown a wrench in the works.
alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 miimon=80 mode=5 #or something like that, can't get to
the machine right now - no console and the network is down
So, I read about the ifcfg options and try assigning each config
script an HWADDR line.
after rebooting, /var/log/messages announces that hardware address for
eth1 does not match, skipping ... same for eth2
Reading the archives seems to indicate modprobe.conf doesn't do much
and is made obsolete by udev, and that hwaddr is discouraged because
it's a band-aid. The archives seem to suggest fiddling with udev to
be the answer. So I modify /etc/udev/rules.d/60-net (or something)
and add a few rules found in an ancient example (those aren't my mac
addresses):
KERNEL==eth?, SYSFS{address}==00:37:e9:17:64:af, NAME=eth0 #
MAC of first NIC in lowercase
KERNEL==eth?, SYSFS{address}==00:21:e9:17:64:b5, NAME=eth1 #
MAC of second NIC in lowercase
Now, all three network cards get assigned as eth0! eth1 and eth2 are
no longer found. The pci-express nics (onboard) get detected first,
and the pci nic is last, so it ends up owning the eth0 alias.
I don't really care which alias gets assigned to which nic, but I want
that assignment to be constant.
All suggestions are appreciated!

Hi, Dennis That page is outlinked from the general discussion on Respositories, which runs through a discussion of 'exclude' and 'includepkg' as earlier options to consider before these two non-stock install addons to yum that you mentioned. The problem with priorities, and pinning generally, is that it cannot anticipate the growth of package dependencies, and tries to solve with a static rule, a shifting problem. It may work to get what is initially wanted, but it is a durable solution, nor the right solution, because eventually, some combination of enhanced weighting will cause an unintended consequence, blocking some more important upgrade [a point version bump, or worse a security async update]. We see it a lot in the IRC channel with people who don't or won't read, and with the intermitent availability of some non-CentOS archives, and yet want the system to solve integrating encumbered sound driver codecs and extensions. They do, sometimes withthis approach, or forcing or much worse --nodeps, and later have the 'wheels come off' when some library dependency on a main archive is blocked by an upgrade path not anticipated or tested by the adjunct archive maintainer. It is usually safe to drill in a binary package out at the leaf nodes from an external archive -- but these encumbered packages have a witches brew of libraries they need as well, and when upgrades on the main line are issued, one can end up with an unsolvable set of dependencies for the old, and requirements by the new. 'priorities' falls over and dies at that point from self-induced dependency hell, and CentOS is blamed for it in the back splatter. I was the wiki article editor who initially added that caveat section, after seeing priorities being pushed as the 'best' alternative. It is not. It is more like Russian roulette without peeking at the state of the chamber, for your installation. The mentioned 'exclude' and 'includepkg' approach is more correct, but also requires reading the yum and rpm man pages, and gaining some understanding of dependencies. -- Russ herrold ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

The only ways this can be solved is to either have a single repository where nothing is excluded by policy and names and files are coordinated, or to delegate out package and file namespace to repositories that can't coordinate to keep them from conflicting. Neither of these seem very likely to happen. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Thanks for everyone's input. I had been under the impression and was passing that impression on to my students. The take-away here seems to be that once you start mixing official and unofficial repos anything can happen. dennisk -- Free as in Freedom Free Software Foundation ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Inquiry:How to enable NAT on CentOS 5 ?
Dear All On my CentOS 5 , I installed the Asterisk 1.4.13 and DECT application software and then when I want to try for NAT I issue as the followings : #iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.20.30.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE But it didn't get through . So I checked if the NAT is enabled on my CentOS server , as the followings : #echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward But still I cannot try for NAT . Can you please let me know which other setings maybe influenced and need to be checked for enabling the NAT ? Thank you in advance ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
