Firewire drive support in CentOS 3.3?
by Steve Dussinger 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

I just recently downloaded and installed the CentOS 3.3 release, and I'm having a bit of a problem... It appears that no support for firewire drives has been included. I am unable to find the ohci1394 or sbp2 modules anywhere. Are there other packages which must be installed from the distribution to get firewire devices to be recognized? Thanks. --Steve

Dag's repository?
by WipeOut 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

Hi, Just getting into Centos and so far so good.. Since its the same as RHEL and uses YUM I wanted to know if there are any issues using Dag's EL3 packages with Centos 3.3?? This will be for a production server (my web server) so if there are any issues with these packaged I would rather not find out the hard way.. :) Thanks..

*very* raw script for a new email server
by Benjamin J. Weiss 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

All, I'm putting up a new email server, but I can't afford downtime when I switch servers. So, I've been writing a script that will take a CentOS install and turn it into a secure email server with Spam Assassin, Amavis-new, ClamAV and external relay using SASL authentication. The script is still *very* raw, and I'm relatively new to bash script writing. I still have some areas of work to do: - I need to incorporate the "alternatives" command to switch from sendmail to postfix, instead of using the redhat-switch-mail and changing it via gui. - I need to figure out how to automate the certificate generation. Right now I still have to type in a password at the prompt, as well as hit <enter> to accept the defaults - Some of my sed commands are kludgy. I'm still learning the ins and outs of sed - I have *no* idea whether or not Vipul's Razor is working or not. - I need to fix the yum "extras" section. - I need to improve the iptables handling. Anyway, if you guys'd like to take a look and make comments, I'm open to suggestions and whatnot. It's at: http://www.benjamin.weiss.name/mail-server.sh Thanks! Ben

Anyone running Virtualmin/webmin on CentOS? Is it a straight forward setup or are there some catches?

Re: [Centos] confession
by C.M. Connelly 08 Dec '04

Beau, Most everything you could need to know is in the man pages for yum. If you have specific questions not answered by the man pages, please feel free to ask me for my experiences, Seth (who wrote the thing so should be able to answer *anything* about it), or the list. I'm actually a Debian developer myself, but we're using CentOS at work, and I find yum quite comfortable (and a good deal less complex than apt for setting up and maintaining local repositories). I've recently implemented the use of the yumgroups.xml file to define groups of packages for installation on different classes of machines. It works very well (provided you make sure that all the important files are actually readable!).

Apache
by Joe Polk 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Okay, I'm curious. I just installed CentOS 3.3 and did an update with YUM. I want to run Apache so I first checked to see if it's installed with rpm -q apache. Nada. Yet, in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d I see K15httpd. So I moved that to S15httpd and started it up. It's up. Goto the default page and it's running. So....if it's not showing up in rpm queries, how is/was it installed? -- <<JAV>>

GFS 6.0.2-12
by John Newbigin 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

GFS 6.0.2-12 is now available for CentOS-3. This version has some small fixes is but is mostly just to support the new CentOS-3 kernel. The files are available from my site here: http://bender.it.swin.edu.au/centos-3/RHGFS/ Tips for updating: Because the dependencies are a bit screwed (thanks to RH), it is probably easiest to do rpm -U http://bender.it.swin.edu.au/centos-3/RHGFS/GFS-6.0.2-12.c3.1.i386.rpm --nodeps before updating the rest. If you want to use yum, chuck this into your yum.conf for now: [gfs] name=CentOS-3 GFS baseurl=http://bender.it.swin.edu.au/centos-3/RHGFS/ gpgcheck=0 Watch out for /etc/sysconfig/gfs being replaced by the new GFS package. Your old version should be renamed to .rpmorig John. -- John Newbigin Computer Systems Officer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.it.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin
