core 2 duo motherboards and centos 4
by Joe Pruett 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

from my googling around, it doesn't look there is a single motherboard that supports core 2 duo and works without patches or tweaks. is that true? the main thing we want is: core 2 duo support 4g of 800mhz (or better) ram sata gig ether with pxe boot we can live without pata or usb for a while. we've tried intel 965 and asus p5b based boards with various levels of ease of install, but all required some kind of driver update, which just isn't acceptable to us. well, i guess it could be acceptable if it could be built in to a pxe boot setup, but so far i haven't found any docs to even let me understand how hard/easy that might be. does v5 support any of these boards better?

Rebuild all currently installed RPMs?
by Justin Cataldo 02 May '07

02 May '07

Hi there, Does anyone know a quick way in yum or rpm to reinstall all currently installed rpm's - ie: Some files have been deleted but you don't know which ones.. So you just want to force a reinstall of all currently installed. I have been using: Rpm -Va | grep missing >> missing.log And then more missing.log Rpm -q -whatprovides /path/to/file And then Rpm -Uvh --force ftp://mirror/path/file But it's a slow and painful process. It's on a CentOS 4.4 machine. JC

antivirus sniffer/scanner for networks
by eric＠austinconventioncenter.com 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Is anyone aware of a package that can detect viri on the network & possibly alert when there are? Here is the scenario: Our network is utilized by guest users all the time, sometimes into the thousands. We see guests from all over with a variety of OSs & hardware, all of which, we have no control or say in that matter. I am looking for something that I can run in promiscuous mode and/or on a span port that will sniff for viri and then alert/log when it sees a virus. We can then track down the culprits' ip/mac and shut off the switch port he/she is connected to and then visit with the guest to help them clean their machine. Given the nature of our network and our guests' needs, an inline solution is not an option. Although, I recall that squid supports WCCP, I'm not sure that it would do what I am requesting. I also looked at snort+libclamav, but the info was inconclusive. We are a CentOs shop and I have a spare dual xeon box that I can use for the task. Thanks, Eric

A working SIP Phone for Centos44?
by Theo Band 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

I tried numerous but most of them just don't work. They fail on the quality of the microphone. I tried two that support alsa. Kphone does, but dtmf (the numbers) are not recognized by Asterisk :-( I tried X-lite, but that has really terrible voice quality (mic). I tried Sflphone (has alsa support) and that worked on FC4 (not on FC3) and it does not work on Centos44 either: [root@raaf ~]# rpm -i sflphone-qt-0.6.2-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4.4) is needed by sflphone-qt-0.6.2-1.i386 sflphoned is needed by sflphone-qt-0.6.2-1.i386 yum provides libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.i386 3.4.6-3.1 installed Matched from: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 [root@raaf ~]# ll /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Mar 9 05:56 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.3 I'm lost. It complains about something missing that is installed?? I try to find a softphone that works with Asterisk and Centos44, does anyone has a good suggestion or is it better to buy a hardphone? Thanks, Theo

hard disk move to another server
by dan1 09 Apr '07

09 Apr '07

Hello everyone. I am looking for a way to move a CentOS 4 installed production hard disk to another system (which has another hardware). The first has an nvidia sata controller (sata_nv), but the second has a via sata (sata_via). For all the rest of the hardware it can upgrade well I know, but if the sata driver is different, then the system doesn't boot because the proper driver is not included in the initrd file (grub still boots OK). Here is the error message: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.8 starting mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed: 22 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Does anyone know how I could upgrade easily this initrd file to contain the proper driver, and even from another partition? Would it be possible to keep an old config-xx file and do an rpm upgrade which would automatically recompile a proper initrd-xx file for that new system? Thanks for any help. Daniel

Connecting to a Novell Server
by Rob Lines 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

I am trying to connect our centos 4.4 machines to our Novell Netware 5 servers. The goal is to allow the centos 4.4 clients to connect to the server and access shared folders. We are not looking for a single sign-on style solution just the ability to connect. I have tried searching google but I did not find anything really usefull as most of the hits pointed toward SUSE and in our case we have need to stick with a RHEL style distro. If anyone has done this type of setup I would appreciate any information you have. Thank you, Rob

Does the nvidia drivers (downloaded from nvidia) support or work with the new centos 5 (beta) ? The version of X windows is different I think. Jerry
