Hi All

Some comments on the foot note for the documentation at 
http://www.centos.org/docs. The comments are with regard to the open 
commons license that comes with the original documentation.
--
*Note:* This documentation is provided {and copyrighted} by *Red Hat®, 
Inc.* and is released via the Open Publication License. The copyright 
holder has added the further requirement that /Distribution of 
substantively modified versions of this document is prohibited without 
the explicit permission of the copyright holder/. The *CentOS project* 
redistributes these original works (in their unmodified form) as a 
reference for *CentOS-5* because *CentOS-5* is built from publicly 
available, open source SRPMS. The documentation is unmodified to be 
compliant with upstream distribution policy. Neither *CentOS-5* nor the 
*CentOS Project* are in any way affiliated with or sponsored by *Red 
Hat®, Inc.*
-

1) Why if the original document was licensed with an open commons 
license is the document being relicensed as an open publication license.
2) Why does the foot note say that you can't modify the document? open 
commons states that you can do anything you like to the document so 
long as it retains a reference to the original document and licensor.

Assuming that one could actually distribute the documentation as I 
described in points (2) above:

1) Would it be right to relabel their documentation as CentOS after they 
worked so hard on it.
2) The howto documentation style seems to  be more practical or have 
more utility. Although, more may be better when it comes to information.

After thinking about this, CentOS(your) project goals and KB's comments, 
maybe keeping the current style of http://www.centos.org/docs is not 
such a bad idea. Although I'm not to sure the foot note is in line with 
the original license.

Paul R.

  I think Red Hat changed their license since that footer was written.

  There are pieces of the RHEL manuals that reference pieces that don't
exist in CentOS.  RHN being one example.  Changing those pieces makes
sense.

  HowTos explain a process which is usually abbreviated for a specific
or narrow use-case.  Manuals can discuss theory and be a reference.

  The HowTos, as they exist, don't store well on an e-reader.  The RHEL
manuals are offered in an epub format in an apparent attempt to be
stored on an e-reader or printed.

  If we change anything, we should change the graphics and re-distribute
the changed version.

 Paul R.

  I agree that modifying and subsequently maintaining the manuals is a
rather large project.  That isn't to say I'm advocating either for or
against.

I thought that might be. Thanks for clearing that up. The other 
possibility was that a new license included some extra constraints but 
I wasn't to sure if that was allowed. Instead of trying to find the 
answer in the license itself, I thought it would be simpler to ask, and 
it was.

This is true and I considered it but I also thought that people who use 
CentOS would probably have a good idea about what it's history is and 
where to go to find that information if they wanted it. I haven't been 
around the lists for too long but I wouldn't suspect that there be a 
great demand for CentOS documentation specifically. I have never heard 
anyone ask for where they can find the CentOS documentation because they 
usually know where  to find it.

HowTos explain a process which is usually abbreviated for a specific
 or narrow use-case.  Manuals can discuss theory and be a reference.\
Yes I agree, and it's more than one way of organizing the information 
which makes it more  accessible. The old linux howtos used to discuss 
theory as well but I can see the sense in separating practical and 
theory. Although, the redhat manuals do read much as the old linux 
howtos did.

The HowTos, as they exist, don't store well on an e-reader.  The RHEL
 manuals are offered in an epub format in an apparent attempt to be
 stored on an e-reader or printed.

I am of the understanding that CentOS exists only to distribute a freely 
available version of upstream. In that sense, it is not a full on 
distribution that needs or wants to go that far.

Re: [CentOS-es] Problema de Caracteres en Desktop

[Luciano Andrés Chiarotto]

Hola Carlos.

Disculpa por la siguiente consulta, que esta relacionada pero no
directamente.

Cuando hablas de instalar paquetería X y que te carga el virt-manager,
entiendo que tenes que instalar el virt-manager y que tipo de paquetería
necesitas instalar para que te funcione el servicio de entorno grafico para
acceder de forma remota ?

Porque me habían comentado por ahí que tenías que tener instalado el
anbiente gráfico (Servidor) y de esa forma poder acceder de forma remota al
entorno gráfico.

La idea es que pueda acceder al servidor con un ambiente gráfico, eso se
puede ?, instalando todo lo que vos comentas ?

Desde ya Carlos  muchas gracias y saludos al resto de las otras personas.

Luciano

[CentOS] fail2ban attempt, anyone want to add anything?

[Bob Hoffman]

Tonight I added fail2ban to one of my webservers to test it out.
Here is my step by step, as best as I could figure it 
out...documentation a bit sketchy.

feel free to add anything to it or suggest changes.

I tried to set it up to deal with ssh, http authentication, dovecot, 
ftp, and postfix


I could find no working example for centos 6 and there is no fail2ban 
book available to peruse.
So, just winging it



I used the EPEL repo and it needed the following packages to work correctly
I do not use priorities, but I add things by using includepkgs= in the 
repo file.
fail2ban shorewall python-inotify gamin-python

(logging)
although fail2ban adds a logrotate file for fail2ban.log, it logs 
everything to the /var/log/messages file
so I changed
/etc/fail2ban/fal2ban.conf
line 25 logtarget = /var/log/fail2ban.log
Perhaps overlooked by the rpm developer?


/etc.fail2ban/jail.conf

In all sections I commented out the mailto section since it just sends a 
ton of mails when start/stopped...yikes.
Not sure if there is a setting only for errors or actions...but the 
start/stop mails are too annoying. Will use logwatch
daily to check on it.

line 16, added a space then my server ip address 123.123.123.123 
(example ip address, not real)
ignoreip = 127.0.0.1 123.456.789.123


SSH section
line 48 enabled=true
line 50, changed to my port number
commented out the mailto section


sasl section
(for postfix)
line 68 enabled=true
backend = polling (I left this but have no idea if I should or not)
line 71, 'rewrote it to'  action   = iptables-multiport[name=POSTFIX, 
port=25,465,993,995, protocol=tcp]
this blocks all mail ports when someone tries and fails
at least I think it does?  :)

Apache
(this was tough since many online sources says it will not work, but 
will test and see)
[apache-tcpwrapper]
enabled  = true
filter = apache-auth
action   = iptables-multiport[name=ApacheAuth, port=80,443, protocol=tcp]
logpath  = /var/log/httpd/*error_log
maxretry = 4
Several docs suggest tcpwrapper and centos are a no go, and that this 
will not work...trying it anyway
All the http stuff is not set up for centos, its default is to look for 
/var/log/apache so this was not set
up at all by the rpm dev...at least not the working examples in the 
jail.conf file.


added this to the bottom (and a new file must be created to work with it)
[Dovecot]
enabled  = true
filter   = dovecot
maxretry = 5
action   = iptables-multiport[name=DOVECOT, port=25,465,993,995, 
protocol=tcp]
logpath  = /var/log/maillog
(again, I added all mail ports in case of a hacker)


New file added
/etc/fail2ban/filter.d/
  new file dovecot.conf

[Definition]
# Option:  failregex
# Notes.:  regex to match the password failures messages in the logfile. The
#  host must be matched by a group named host. The tag

#

failregex = (?: pop3-login|imap-login): (?:Authentication 
failure|Aborted login \(auth failed|Aborted login \(tried to use

my final add on this tonight..

due to the older versions of 'whatever' centos uses, there will be 
errors on startup of fail2ban regarding multiport
jails.
To avoid these errors it was suggested to add a sleep mechanism to the 
start up commands in the proper file.

/etc/fail2ban/action.d/iptables-mutliport.conf

added a sleep line sleep `perl -e 'print rand(3);'` to line 14 and 
dropped everything down one line to make room for it

actionstart = sleep `perl -e 'print rand(3);'`
   iptables -N fail2ban-name
   iptables -A fail2ban-name -j RETURN
   iptables -I INPUT -p protocol -m multiport --dports 
port -j fail2ban-name

Re: [CentOS] Using eth0 on desktops with single network interface

[Lars Hecking]

 I think it is still only for certain Dell models and it probably only
 works with new 6.2 installs, but it is a badly needed capability to be
 able to predictably map the device/config names to the matching
 physical NICs.

 I was wondering about this because the T3500 I'm setting up with fresh
 6.2 installs have eth0.

 The whitepaper linked here

  http://linux.dell.com/biosdevname/

 explains it in detail, and indeed the T3500 is listed as not supporting
 under RHEL6.1 SMBIOS version is 2.5 according dmidecode and they say
 2.6 is required.

[CentOS] Cluster with VM and global resources

[Baptiste AGASSE]

Hi all,

I've a little problem with software cluster provided by CentOS 6.2
(cman, rgmanager  cie), VM cluster services and global cluster resources.

Here is my system arch:

---  --
|clusternode1 |--+---| GFS2:vmimages1 |
---  |   ||
 |   | VM img 1   |
 |   | VM img 2   |
 |   | VM img 3   |
 +   | ...|
 |   --
 |
 |
 |
---  |   --
|clusternode2 |--+---| GFS2:vmimages2 |
---  |   ||
 |   | VM img X   |
 |   | VM img Y   |
 |   | VM img Z   |
 |   | ...|
 |   --
 |
---  |
|clusternode3 |--+--- ...
---  |
...  |

All my cluster nodes are connected to a SAN which houses some GFS2 fs
for VM images files.


I've defined global cluster resources for my GFS2 filesystems where my
vm images files are stored.
Now i want to add this resources to vm services to makes the cluster
aware of VM dependency to the fs which store it image file (to avoid
node to try to start VM if it don't have required filesystem or stop VM
when it lost the filesystem).
When i add global resources to a normal cluster service, it works, but
it don't when i try to add global resources to a VM service.

I'm the onlyone with this type of configuration ?

Someone know if it's a bug or it's not supported ?
I don't find anything about it in cluster documentation/man
pages/cluster commands --help


Have a nice day.

Regards.

Re: [CentOS] High load averages copying USB

 Problem as follows:

 1) Plug in an external USB drive.

 2) Mount it anywhere. Doesn't matter how.

 3) Copy a few GB of data to the drive from a non-USB disk.

 4) Watch the load average climb to 5.x, sometimes 10.x or more. Why?
 This on an otherwise unloaded system. Doesn't matter how many cores, how
 much RAM, 32/64 bit, etc.

 Why should copying some files to a USB drive cause load averages to
 climb so high? (and network monitors to freak out?)

It's just a number. Is the system any slower?

Linux adds I/O wait time to the load average calculation.

[CentOS] XEN or KVM - performance/stability/security?

[Rafał Radecki]

Hi all.

I am currently building a small test cloud based on Eucalyptus 2.0.3 and
CentOS 5.8 x64. I have a choice which hypervisor to use: KVM or XEN.
KVM is the default in CentOS 6 but I have read also many good things (for
example PV guest machines, isolation between Dom0 and DomU) about XEN.

Key factors from my opint of view are:
- stability (which one runs more smoothly on CentOS?)
- performance (XEN PV/HVM(with or without pv drivers) vs KVM HVM(with or
without pv drivers))
- security

Could you share your experience in these areas?

This is not 1996. Internet is more than a thousands times more

Re: [CentOS] XEN or KVM - performance/stability/security?

[Dmitry Cherkasov]

Hi,

KVM if used as it is will show very poor performance on CentOS5. To
achieve better results you need to update kernel to at least 2.6.32
and compile newer versions of libvirt and qemu. On CentOS6 all is fine
with KVM right out of the box.

Never used XEN so cannot compare.

 - performance (XEN PV/HVM(with or without pv drivers) vs KVM HVM(with or
 without pv drivers))
 - security

 Could you share your experience in these areas?

U will try the 'all ports' for sure, that was what I wanted.
Logwatch, as it comes with centos, does not have any scripts at all for

 You could set in fstab ipaddress instead of the server name, so there is 
 no need for name lookup or you can put the ip and name in /etc/hosts

So you say it's only the name lookup failure that's causing
startup to proceed without the NFS mount? All other failures
like host unreachable or NFS port not open would cause the
system to wait and retry?

 Where the nameserver is? On the backup server or on the oracle (or on 
 completely separate machine?)

Separate machine.

 - If on separate machine you could write your own init script which 
 tests that the name resolution works and runs the oracle startup after that.

It would have to go before the netfs service I think. That's
the one which does the NFS mount. The oracle startup script
runs after netfs, so all would be fine if netfs wouldn't exit
without having mounted the NFS shares.

 I would put the ip in hosts if the backup server has fixed ip-address. 
 If not then making special init-script could be the trick.

My concern are possible other failure modes besides the
name lookup.
What happens if the IP address is available (hardcoded or
via name resolution) but the NFS server is offline?
What if the NFS server machine is online (say, pingable) but
the NFS service doesn't listen (yet)?
I have to make sure that in all these cases the Oracle
processes do not get started until the NFS mount is
available.

Re: [CentOS] centos 6.2; mount 6TB OSX formatted FW

[Lamar Owen]

On Thursday, April 19, 2012 02:49:41 PM aurfalien wrote:
 Trying to mount an FW800 6TB volumes.

 The logs say; 
 cannot find hfs+ superblock

Aurf,

(it's Friday: and now I'm channelling Michael J Fox in Teen Wolf pronouncing 
that name... sorry).

My first question is: which HFS+ filesystem module are you using, since CentOS 
6 by default does not include HFS+ capability?  

(See: 
https://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Migration_Planning_Guide/sect-Migration_Guide-Package_Changes-Driver_Changes.html
 )

There are pretty significant issues with the weakly maintained in-kernel HFS+ 
filesystem drivers (probably the reason upstream isn't shipping HFS+ enabled by 
default): see:
http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/git-commits-head/2009/10/29/11287

Namely, due to a 32-bit data type being used the in-kernel driver can (and 
will) corrupt any 2TB volume when you try to write above the 2TB 'boundary' 
even when used in a 64-bit kernel.

Now, assuming that you're not already using it, have you tried the trial 
download of Paragon's commercial HFS+ filesystem?  See:
http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-linux-per/ for the free to use 
Express edition.  (I know that says ntfs in the URL; the HFS+ and NTFS 
filesystems are a bundle). 

I've done significant data migrations and interchange with HFS+ volumes and 
various Macs, and the in-kernel HFS+ filesystem is very flakey.  I've not had 
those issues with the Paragon HFS+ filesystem, or for that matter the NTFS 
filesystem driver that comes in the bundle.  The Paragon documentation states 
that there is no limit on filesystem size imposed by this driver; just limits 
imposed by the kernel or by the NTFS/HFS+ systems themselves.  I've not 
personally tried a 2TB HFS+ filesystem with this driver, so I'd test it well 
before using in production.

This driver includes read/write access to HFS+ Journaled volumes; the in-kernel 
driver is read-only for HFS+ Journaled volumes.

The Professional version of the driver (available with a free trial period for 
testing) includes diags, including an fsck and mkfs for both filesystems.

Now, to help troubleshoot this a little, you may want to get gdisk from EPEL to 
see how that thing is partitioned.

 Just add _netdev to the mount options.
 
From man:
 
 _netdev
 The filesystem resides on a device that requires network access (used to 
 prevent the system from attempting to mount these filesystems until the 
 network has been enabled on the system).

That doesn't seem to have any effect. In fact, I had found
references to that option on the web, but they seemed to
agree that it didn't apply to NFS mounts because CentOS 5
already takes care to do these after the network is up.
To confirm, /etc/init.d/netfs contains the lines

 NFSFSTAB=`LC_ALL=C awk '!/^#/  $3 ~ /^nfs/  $3 != nfsd  $4 !~ 
 /noauto/ { print $2 }' /etc/fstab`
 SMBFSTAB=`LC_ALL=C awk '!/^#/  $3 == smbfs  $4 !~ /noauto/ { print $2 
 }' /etc/fstab`
 CIFSFSTAB=`LC_ALL=C awk '!/^#/  $3 == cifs  $4 !~ /noauto/ { print $2

 NCPFSTAB=`LC_ALL=C awk '!/^#/  $3 == ncpfs  $4 !~ /noauto/ { print $2 
 }' /etc/fstab`
 NETDEVFSTAB=`LC_ALL=C awk '!/^#/  $4 ~/_netdev/  $4 !~ /noauto/ { print 
 $1 }' /etc/fstab`

for finding the fstab entries to process, and the section
processing NETDEVFSTAB explicitly excludes the fstypes
nfs,nfs4,smbfs,cifs,ncpfs,gfs from its mount command.

The netfs service is started after the network service,
so networking on the machine itself is up by that time.
The problem AFAICS is that other servers on the network
which are needed for the mount to succeed (the NFS server
itself and possibly a nameserver) aren't up yet.

As you are telling there is multitude of things which can cause the 
nfs-server not to work. So if you want to be sure you should really 
invest on writing the init script. Way I would propose to do it, would 
be to put it after the netfs to replace the oracle's original init script.

It would then do all the necessary tests to see if the nfs is mounted 
correctly and ready to use. (It could even troubleshoot some of the 
problems like trying to remount nfs mounts) It would then call the 
original oracle init script when everything works. It could also leave 
this functionality on backgroud and let rest of the system to boot, so 
that you can log in and troubleshoot if necessary.

Basically, when a security issue is fixed in a module you can either

(of course you can only do that if you dont use the module).

My question is quite academic, though. I could trust that modprobe's

Re: [CentOS] local repo question

[Jerry Geis]

I tried the two suggestions:

I am now using createrepo .
and chown -R and chmod -R to make sure they are readable by apache.

I also change my repo line from   using 6.2 to just use 6.
repo --name=Updates --baseurl=http://192.168.1.14/centos/6/updates/x86_64/


I have a symbolic link from 6 to 6.2

There error I get is the same:
fatal error occured when installing the dbus package. Exit installer.

Doing ALT-F2 at that point and looking around at files in /tmp I see no 
errors,
nothing is in /var/log/

What else can I try? Thanks,

You should post entire error text. Are you sure that that dbus package 
is not corrupted? Try downloading it fo local directory and install from 
there.
Or just delete dbus rpm and run rsync again (or whatever) and then 
createrepo.

 You should post entire error text. Are you sure that that dbus package
 is not corrupted? Try downloading it fo local directory and install from
 there.
 Or just delete dbus rpm and run rsync again (or whatever) and then
 createrepo.

The rest of the message had no additional information so I did not 
include it.
However the entire message is this:

A fatal error occurred when installing the dbus package.
This could indicate errors when reading the installation
media. Installation cannot continue.

Exit Installer


Funny thing is there is no dbus update at this time. There is no
dbus* file in my /var/www/html/centos/6/updates/x86_64/Packages directory.

This must be the original dbus package from the 6.2 DVD download.
If I comment the repo line in my kickstart file - the install goes fine.

So the dbus package should be good. It works without the repo line.

my repo line in my kickstart file is:
repo --name=Updates --baseurl=http://192.168.1.14/centos/6/updates/x86_64/

I have re-ran the createrepo . and tried my install again with the 
same results.

I am confused.
What do I do next?

My first usenet browser was rn.  I first started posting in the

 I set the last field to zero on file systems I don't want to fsck on boot
at an in-opportune time.

 The  sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to deter-
   mine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time.
The
   root  filesystem  should  be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and
other
   filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2.  Filesystems within  a
drive
   will  be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives
will
   be checked at the same time to utilize  parallelism  available  in
the
   hardware.   If  the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of
zero
   is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not  need
to
   be checked.

I then run fsck with -N periodically to look for problems.   I actually
created a script that would
run fsck, then log the errors to /var/log/messages.  Then modded logwatch
to catch the
errors.

[CentOS] Building Dovecot CentOS 5 RPMs with custom LDAP packages

[Nikolaos Milas]

Hi,

We are (still) mainly using CentOS 5 (5.8 x86_64). As CentOS / EL 5 
standard OpenLDAP packages are rather old (2.3.x), we've been using LTB 
OpenLDAP packages ( http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap), 
which get installed in non-standard file system locations.

I am not much experienced in building RPMs and preparing spec files. We 
are currently using dovecot RPM packages from the atrpms repo 
(http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/).

I would like to re-build Dovecot packages based on the LTB OpenLDAP RPM 
packages (OpenLDAP v2.4.x), esp. because I see that ATRPMs Dovecot RPM 
packages are built using OpenLDAP v2.3 devel code (i.e. standard CentOS 
OpenLDAP devel packages).

In http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot.spec I see:


BuildRequires: openldap-devel, cyrus-sasl-devel

...

Obsoletes: %{name}-pgsql  %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-mysql 
 %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite  
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap  
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $
Conflicts: %{name}-pgsql  %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-mysql 
  %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite  
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap  
%{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $


So, I guess I can/should change the former line to:

BuildRequires: openldap-ltb-debuginfo, cyrus-sasl-devel

Note: The final Dovecot RPM and the associated executables (included 
therein) do not need any LDAP dynamic library in order to run with LDAP 
support; i.e. after building, the produced package does not require any 
ldap package on the system.

Question 1: What other changes/additions should we make in the spec file 
in order to specify that we will be using (if needed) LDAP libraries 
from: /usr/local/openldap/lib64 and include files from: 
/usr/local/openldap/include (rather than from /usr/lib64 and 
/usr/include, respectively, which are the standard file paths used in 
native openldap-devel RPM)?

Question 2: How the Obsoletes and Conflicts lines should be changed?

Any other associated info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nick

[CentOS] Centos 4 repos help me!

[Gustavo Lacoste]

 Dear CentOS Community

Is totally clear there's no support to Centos 4 platform today, but I need
to install some packages -ideally- from repositories, so I'll be glad if
someone can provide me still working ones, (obviously non-official).

If isn't possible I'll move on CentOS5, but (initially) keeping current PHP
and MySQL versions.

In both cases, I'll need working CentOS4 repos, hopefully the following
ones:

- CentOS Base.repo
- CentOS-Debuginfo.repo
- CentOS-Media.repo
- CentOS-Testing.repo
- CentOS-Vault.repo
- mirrors-rpmforge
- mirrors-rpmforge-extras
- mirrors-rpmforge-testing
- openwebmail.repo
- rpmforge.repo

Thanks in advance to anyone who can guide me

Well, you can get individual packages here:

http://vault.centos.org/4.9/updates/i386/

I dunno if you can use that as a yum repo (I'm not saying I think it's
not possible, I'm just saying I'm ignorant of that) but at least you 
could grab the RPMs from there.

 standard OpenLDAP packages are rather old (2.3.x), we've been using 
 LTB
 OpenLDAP packages ( http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap),
 which get installed in non-standard file system locations.

 I am not much experienced in building RPMs and preparing spec files. 
 We
 are currently using dovecot RPM packages from the atrpms repo
 (http://packages.atrpms.net/dist/el5/dovecot/).

 I would like to re-build Dovecot packages based on the LTB OpenLDAP 
 RPM
 packages (OpenLDAP v2.4.x), esp. because I see that ATRPMs Dovecot 
 RPM
 packages are built using OpenLDAP v2.3 devel code (i.e. standard 
 CentOS
 OpenLDAP devel packages).

 In http://dl.atrpms.net/all/dovecot.spec I see:

 
 BuildRequires: openldap-devel, cyrus-sasl-devel

 ...

 Obsoletes: %{name}-pgsql  %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, 
 %{name}-mysql
  %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite 
 %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap 
 %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $
 Conflicts: %{name}-pgsql  %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, 
 %{name}-mysql
   %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-sqlite 
 %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, %{name}-ldap 
 %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}, $
 

 So, I guess I can/should change the former line to:

 BuildRequires: openldap-ltb-debuginfo, cyrus-sasl-devel

 Note: The final Dovecot RPM and the associated executables (included
 therein) do not need any LDAP dynamic library in order to run with 
 LDAP
 support; i.e. after building, the produced package does not require 
 any
 ldap package on the system.

 Question 1: What other changes/additions should we make in the spec 
 file
 in order to specify that we will be using (if needed) LDAP libraries
 from: /usr/local/openldap/lib64 and include files from:
 /usr/local/openldap/include (rather than from /usr/lib64 and
 /usr/include, respectively, which are the standard file paths used in
 native openldap-devel RPM)?

 Question 2: How the Obsoletes and Conflicts lines should be changed?

 Any other associated info would be appreciated.

 Thanks,
 Nick

 My first usenet browser was rn.  

Anybody know if 'trn' and C-News are in any CentOS 6 repos?  I want to re-live 
running a 9.6kbps UUCP dialup leaf node like it was when I had an ATT 
UnixPC. NOT!

No, I didn't find either trn or C-News in the normal repos, but I didn't look 
in too many third-party ones, either a good UUCP is still available, 
though, in EPEL.

This is way way off topic; time to wind down, IMO, even if it is Friday 
afternoon.

 The link you provided is for CentOS 5.0 and GPT, and you are installing
 CentOS 6.2.
 I read somewhere that CentOS 6.x creates/supports GPT tables if Disk is
 larger then 2TB.

 - Have you initialized that RAID with MSDOS partition (manually or with
 older/different distro) or was it by CentOS 6.2 installation DVD?
 - What happens if you initialize RAID with GPT?

Ljubomir,

The installation program definitely does not seem to prompt you and offer
you an opportunity to initialize the disk with any disk table format.

[CentOS] CentOS-Base.repo file for CentOS-4.9 in Vault

[Johnny Hughes]

All,

There have been many people asking for how to do installs now that
CentOS-4 has moved past End Of Life.

First, I want to tell you that it is VERY dangerous to use CentOS-4
now.  There is at least 1 critical (ie, remotely exploitable root) issue
on CentOS 4 already:

https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2012-1182

The number of unpatched critical issues will grow.  Using CentOS-4 is
NOT safe.

That being said, here is how you can use the Vault.  I have created a
CentOS-Base.repo that should work for users who absolutely need it:

http://vault.centos.org/4.9/CentOS-Base.repo

If you replace your current file with this file, you should be able to
use the vault.

There will be no updates to the files there.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes

Yeah, I just read a thread about it in this mailing list:
On 04/18/2012 10:18 AM, John R Pierce wrote:
  do I need to preboot into a shell or something and use parted  before I

I use a bootable CD with gparted to create the GPT partition table and
the partitions.

After this, I can boot CentOS and install on the created partitions.

Yeah, I remember those days too.  I was the original technical contact
for fb.com when you could still get 2 letter domain names practically
for the asking.   I understand that name was sold to facebook a while
back for a very large sum of money.  Times change...

Re: [CentOS] Centos 4 repos help me!

Dne 20.4.2012 21:57, Gustavo Lacoste napsal(a):
  Dear CentOS Community

 Is totally clear there's no support to Centos 4 platform today, but I need
 to install some packages -ideally- from repositories, so I'll be glad if
 someone can provide me still working ones, (obviously non-official).



Hi Gustavo,
Better do upgrade. If you can't see
