It looks like it could be this bug http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2549
meaning yumex has been broken on CentOS 4.X for quite some time.
Thanks,

On a CentOS 4 desktop Yumex gives the error message
"Error in loading repository data" but yum works fine
from the cli. Could something have been broken in
yumex? Putting yumex in debug mode does not give me
clues as to the error message.
Thanks,

Enough time has been wasted on the DKIM thread so I'm not reading the main

CentOS 4.4? Any reason to be using something so old?

CentOS 4 is based on Fedora Core 3 which at the time used
apt4rpm. Why didn't it make its way to RHEL 4, while yum
made its way to RHEL 5?

The NSA guide (rhel5-guide-i731.pdf) looks like a good starting point.

Is there a step by step approach to securing CentOS 4X (or even RHEL 4X)? I
don't mean the stuff in the docs/security guide but a working step by step
guide? There used to be packages like rkhunter and tripwire but I don't know if
the ones in rpmforge/kbs repo are up to date.
Thanks,
Josh.

Hi folks,
Normally people ask "when is CentOS 4.7 coming" and they are told "when it is
ready". Dag posted on his blog about it going to testing in July while it
was supposed to be syncing to the mirrors on Sept 5/6th according to
Karanbir.
Is there something going on behind the scenes? I have

I've got a CentOS server that crashes due to a bad hard disk. I have got a
spare disk and need to format and reinstall CentOS from the SERVER CD. Backup
and reinstall is a major PITA because of some of the customisations that I've
done e.g. the DNS Server is set to log queries (the default does
