Not possible as far as I know ;-)

Remove the samba rpms and install the samba3x rpms from CentOS 5.5

This will give you samba3x-3.3.8-0.52.el5_5.2.x86_64 which works as a PDC with 
Windoze 7 clients.

[CentOS] input/output error while copy

[Ritika Garg]

When I give the command "cp file1 file2" then the error comes:
cp: cannot create regular file `file2': Input/output error

This occurs sometimes and it occurs when I am giving the command inside a
external hard disk which is mounted by "ntfs-3g" manually.
Why does this error come?

I use the following command to make packet captures:

tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -w capture.cap

It creates a file capture.cap that can be read by a packet analyzer - 
e.g. wireshark.

At least I know now for sure that it is doable! Great - Well, I guess I 
better start planning on learning Mock - although I am very open to 
hearing best practice methods of compiling software cross architecture, 
if anyone has a blog or website I'd give it a shot.

I often run a variation of the above in a screen session then
disconnect.. There's probably an easier way, but I do so I don't  see

Heh. As opposed to Sun, er, Oracle tech support, where when I have to call
them, it's more along the lines of self-abuse.

Dear group,
I am in the process of configuring 2 new servers. They are running Centos 5.5 
and for the last three days they have been rebooting unexpectedly, can you 
point me in the right direction what to look for in the logs. I have been 
checking /var/log/messages but don't see anything that hint me any clues why 
this is happening. Your input is much much appreciated. Lisandro

Since the RHCE exam is based on RHEL, that would be the best OS to work
with.  If you don't want to shell out the money for RHEL, then CentOS 5
would be the next choice.

5.5 broke my machine at home, I don't have a bootable kernel currently
(all versions hang starting udev, or hit a kernel panic starting udev).
So a 5.6 or 6.0 DVD is the pill I'm waiting for.

WinXP starts on this machine *every* *single* *time* *every* *single*
*day* so I don't believe it's a hardware problem.  Perhaps a "vendor
supplied binary driver" problem (I do have Nvidia chips and video card
installed).

Yeah, I'm drooling at the calendar waiting for 5.6 or 6.0!

You can use 'not' with port or host specifications to not log matching traffic. 
 
For example:
`tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -w capture.cap not port 22` will drop all SSH traffic 
from the pcap
`tcpdump -i eth0 -s 0 -w capture.cap not host ` will drop all traffic 
to/from  from the pcap

I believe it is self explanatory.  Looks like you don't have write permissions

Changing the subject is not enough, because there are fields in the
headers that indicate what other message this message follows, so the
messages appear (in the archives) to be chained on the previous subject
even though the subject line is different.

Rather than use your mail tool's "reply" button, use the "make a new
message" (probably has a different name), copy from the old message ONLY
the send-to ADDRESS (centos-boun...@centos.org) and write your all-new
message with a new subject.

Since when does Input/output error equate to a permissions problem?  If that's
the case, surely that's a bug in ntfs-3g as it's returning the wrong error
code.

NO!  This is a volunteer effort.  You cannot expect them to have the newest 
release out days after it is announced.  There is work that needs to be done 
before they can release the OS as CentOS.  They do what they can when they 
can.  After all it s free so why complain?

You could always learn how to help them get the newest release out there if 
time is such an important issue.

yum runs, it's just telling you that there are unresolved dependencies.
First, I think I'd clean all; then, it may be that you need to add another
repository. Finally, you might have to uninstall some stuff, then try to
reinstall - I'd do the topmost level (the audio player, say), and let it
decide what all it needed

[CentOS] httpd and selinux

[Philippe Naudin]

Hello,

Running httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3 on CentOS release 5.5 (Final), I
have :

$ ps -Ze
LABEL PID TTY  TIME CMD
user_u:system_r:httpd_t 12833 ?00:00:00 httpd

Is it normal for httpd to have this context (user_u:system_r:httpd_t) ?
I was expecting system_u:system_r:httpd_t.

And if it is not normal, is it because I have restarted httpd by hand
(service httpd restart), or because I have broken something in my
configuration ?

Thanks,

It seems like there were too many repos involved, hence the issue--that
is, one has to, as you've learned to your cost, be careful about
priorities when mixing repos such as rpmforge, epel, and especially atrpms
(I believe the atrpm site warns about this.)

I don't know how much risk you're willing to take, nor how experienced
you are, but one way I've fixed such problems when I've run into them is
remove the packages that require the missing depedencies--in your case,
for example, firefox and gimp.  

Finally, afer I've removed enough, an install will go without errors,
and then I can replace the missing packages, this time, being careful
which repos I'm using.   It can be complex and time-consuming, and of
course, no guarantee of success, and sometimes, no doubt, you're better
off simply reinstalling from scratch, depending upon how much time
you've spent configuring. 

I would wait and see if someone with more knowledge comes up with a
better solution but offer this in case  no one does.

Yes this is normal, this indicates that some one running as user_u,
restarted the daemon.  system_u would indicate that it was started at boot.

The user component of SELinux is pretty much ignored when it comes to
access control.

No, I think:

These men and women are so awesome, giving up their time to make us
a great operating system at no charge. Whether it be a week, a month,
or a year after RHEL release, I am so grateful for all of them and the 
huge amounts of time and effort they *donate* to do all of this!!

And I'll be blunt here: that should be our mindset for ALL of us on
this list, and it would accelerate the timetable of new CentOS releases
by:

1. Not having Karanbir and others stop and waste their time on snarky
comments, endless "when will it be out, I want it NOW!" tirades,
and other garbage

2. The development/QA/etc teams will be encouraged as we root them on,
timetable be hanged. You want it now? Go to RHEL. Seriously. And, you'll 
be doing us two favors: you'll stop irritating us, and you'll ensure that 
we will have a great OS when CentOS has a release.

Sorry, but I'm not in a good mood right now, but I'm tired of people 
complaining about the slow releases. As for me, I'm very grateful and 
thankful for what all the *volunteers* do for CentOS. Imperfectly?
Sure. That's what patience and grace are for.

Hey devs/QA, etc: keep on rollin', as they say here in the states.
Thanks, guys and gals, for all that you do

Gilbert

[CentOS] Centos Kernel Source Repo?

Where's the repo for downloading the Centos 5.5 kernel 
sources?

It's not in CentOS-Base.repo

I'd like to install the source code for the current Centos 
5.5 kernel, and create some customised kernels.

He did say 'CentOS in three months', and given that as I recall 5.3 to
5.4 took 2 months and 5.4 to 5.5 took about the same amount of time, 3
months hopefully isn't unrealistic? If it is, maybe someone could or
should put out a call for more volunteers? Of course 6.0 may end up
being more than 3 months after upstream release, but time will tell.

I agree also.  I'm going along the same self-taught path using CentOS
5.5, lurking and absorbing all of the cool stuff that happens on this
mailing list.

Currently using this great manual:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/pdf/Security-Enhanced_Linux/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-6-Security-Enhanced_Linux-en-US.pdf

I think my next thing to learn is httpd configuration.
And then maybe a little perl (I already know python and regex's).

Any other important topics to know?

Thanks for that Akemi!

I have found this link:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.5/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.18-194.el5.src.rpm

Is there a YUM or Smart PM repository configuration file for 
this Centos source code repo, so I can browse and install 
SRPMS from Smart PM or YUM?

I'd like to learn how to create my own custom linux kernels. 
Quite a long learning curve, but it's something I'm very 
fascinated with.

I have 0 complaints with CentOS - even the complaints I do have are not 
really complaints, just me being greedy and fickle. CentOS is, for all 
intents and purposes, an Enterprise grade product, I salute you guys and 
girls, who work on it.

For the record, I do completely understand that this is a volunteer 
effort, as I am sure many others have done since the beginning. Time to 
me, is not an important issue, I can wait for the work to be done, but 
taking into the account the fact that I'm taking, and not giving, I 
should have taken the stance that you took, and let people know that 
this is a volunteer effort. That said ...

"WOOHOO - CentOS in three months!"

I am free to be happy that there are people out there who are spending 
their free time, using their knowledge and expertise just to help me do 
my job better. I say "Thank You" to the volunteers, you make my life so 
much easier, and your top class work gives me the confidence to deploy 
CentOS, not only across all our internal linux machines,  but our colo 
facility as well, *and* all our clients. Thank You again, because of 
your work, I am able to sleep at night not worrying about new system 
installs, or anything to do with CentOS actually. Your work is top class!

[CentOS] Bind won't start.

Dear Group,

In the process of configuring bind, I created a new configuration file under

I would first check that your hardware is compatible with CentOS - I'd 
do that by going onto RedHat's site, and checking their supported 
hardware list, if its there, we have a winner, if not, then I think it 
would be acceptable to not expect it to work 100%. Because something 
works in ubuntu, or fedora, (both of which I consider "desktop" distros) 
doesn't mean that it'll work in all other versions of linux, because 
there are different kernel versions out there. Even kernel versions that 
are the same between distros, may have been compiled with different options.

There is the fact that the CentOS kernel is much older than the
Fedora/Ubuntu (and basically everything else) out there.  In many cases,
support for a driver may not be in the CentOS kernel, though it is in
the Fedora or Ubuntu kernels---as was said, those two are aimed towards
the desktop user and they are more concerned with supporting common,
more current hardware for laptops and such.

See if that is owned or at least writeable, by named.  I vaguely
remember running into something similar, and that was the issue--the
file wound up being owned by root and not writeable by named. 

I fear I don't remember the details well.

Dumb question: have you contacted Dell? They *do* support Linux, and RHEL
(at least on their servers). See if they have a driver, or can point you

The Intel Wireless WiFi Link 6200AGN and 6300AGN Adapters are supported 
by the iwlagn driver in 5.5 and 5.6.

You will need the appropriate firmware installed, in this case 
iwl6000-firmware available from elrepo.org:

 named does not need write access to /var/named. This has been a "feature" of
 RH bind packages for a long time.

"Support" is open to interpretation. I bought a Dell E1505 with Ubuntu
preloaded. Their support pretty much said, "Your only option for
troubeshooting is to reinstall the OS."

OK John.

I seem to be getting timeouts, from time to time.

Like you say, there are plenty of other mirrors to choose

Feel free to build your own kernel, no one will hinder you, if you start such a 
task by creating your own repository. CentOS' primary goal is to be a 
binary-compatible community-version of Red Hat's Enterprise Linux (RHEL), which 
means that you won't see any kernel-components in CentOS, that are not in RHEL. 
If you need a distribution with support for bleeding edge tech, there's Fedora 
for that and it is doing a great job at that. 

- From what I have read so far, RHEL 6 (and therefore CentOS 6, once it's out) 
will bring improved support for notebooks.

You have to make your own choice between 'stable and well tested' and 
'new with the latest features'.  You can't have both at the same time 
and different distributions choose different balances.  If you'll lose a 
lot of money over a few minutes of downtime, go with 'well tested', but 
there are places where it is appropriate to run newer code and if nobody 
did, it would never advance to 'well tested'.

fedora as a server would be OK if you only plan on using that server 
for 6-9 months and wiping it and rebuilding it afterwards.


fedora's short support cycle pretty much takes it off my list as when I 
build a system, its generally going to be used for 3-5 years.

[CentOS] how to convert 7 cd iso images into one dvd image?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi;

how to convert 7 cd iso images into one dvd image?

I am unable to use bittorrent :-(

Home ISP blocking bittorrent; company now blocks bittorrent.

I want/need an old release (CentOS 5.2) to install as a VirtualBox guest.

I suppose I could install from the cd iso images, but it is a pain to
virtually eject and remount cd iso images during the install :-(

So, is there a technique or an open source tool that will create a dvd
iso given the cd iso images?

Or how does one generate the dvd iso given a list of rpm files?
(Assuming I had a list of all of the needed rpm files).

It would be nice if one had something like "make centos_5.2_dvd_iso" :-)

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

There is a trick where you can perform an installation with just the
first CD (and you won't be asked for further CDs) if you do this:

1) do a text-based installation (on the prompt right after booting type:
 linux text )
2) when it comes to package selection, uncheck all groups but then click
on customize packages (to get into package details)..and uncheck all of
them.

The previous steps are from my head (specially #2) but just pay
attention to the software and what I said and you'll be fine.

You'll get an installation of about 600 to 700 MB and then you can use
"yum" to install whatever you need to install.

HTH,
Jorge

Filing bugs regarding functional issues in the CentOS bug tracker is NOT
helpful. CentOS is an essentially _unmodified_ rebuild of RHEL. The
CentOS bug tracker is for issues relating to the rebuild packages, not
for issues that existed in the original product.

File functional bugs at Red Hat's bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com).
And always search for existing bugs before submitting new reports.

[CentOS] CentOS 5.5/5.6 on Sandy Bridge

[Kenni Lund]

Hi list

Has anyone tried to install CentOS 5.5 on a system with one of the new
Sandy Bridge processors with integrated GPU? I can live with bad X11
performance - I'm happy as long as I get a X11 desktop (with VESA or
whatever) with no crashes :) I'll mostly use this system as a KVM host
with a VNC server, but I'll like to be able to hook a screen to it.

CentOS 5.6/6.0 will undoubtly improve the situation in case there're
issues with 5.5, I'm just curious if it will work atm. with the
current CentOS 5.5 + a default Gnome environment.

Thanks,
Kenni

or, put all the 5.2 CD contents on a local http server, and use 
http://vault.centos.org/5.2/isos/i386/CentOS-5.2-i386-netinstall.iso 
(<8MB) to install it.

Not even necessary to do the text based install--keep in mind that in
CentOS 6, thanks to RH feeling Fedora is their development platform, and
Fedora being aimed more at the imaginary, somewhat moronic (in the
developers' minds) "average user", text installation is crippled.

If using GUI mode, choose customize now--one advantage RH 6 will have is
the ability to, in the main selection screen, choose minimal which will
do this for you--then, as Jorge says, uncheck everything.  Basically
uncheck the desktops, go through applications from top to bottom, in
servers, I believe it's just print server that they install by default,
and then uncheck everything in base as well--go to the bottom, because X
server is the last thing listed, so make sure you go through EVERYTHING
in base.  (You won't have to open options for each thing you uncheck,
just unchecking them is sufficient.)

I routinely do 4 GB plus transfers using https and ftp.  Rock solid.  
One thing i do is the gui install..choose minimal then choose custom.  
uncheck everything and you'll get a machine with access to a shell and 
then you can yum everything else.  Only need disk 1.

There's always ncftp which has the ability to resume an interrupted file
transfer, though I regularly transfer DVD images with both http and ftp
without any errors.

Speaking as an upstream developer (*) may I suggest that in the absence of a 
Centos donations page, folks donate directly to the various OSS applications 
they use?If you don't have one in mind, the SPI (Software in the Public 
Interest) is a good place to get informed.  The Centos project might even 
want to explore joining SPI.
