Re: [CentOS] alias keeps changing (fwd)
by Maciej Zenczykowski 10 May '05

I'd suggest looking around the ifcfg-eth* files (somewhere in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I think) nad commenting out HWADDR= lines, if that works, then try reversing the HWADDR lines - this will reverse the numbers of the ethernet cards (ie making eth0 eth1 and eth1 eth0) but should result in a stable configuration till next hardware change. And you problem? IMHO, when the system boots up, one card gets the name eth0, the other eth1, when checking HWADDR the first eth0 card matches the ifcfg-eth1 HWADDR MAC address and is thus renamed to eth1, which fails, since eth1 already exists, and thus gets a random name, while the second eth1 matches the ifcfg-eth0 HWADDR MAC address and is thus renamed to eth0. In the end the physical eth1 is eth0 and the physical eth0 gets a random dev* name. This should probably be fixed sometime... first rename all devices to random names and only afterwards rename then to eth* according to the configuration files. Cheers, MaZe. PS. alternatively you can open the case and switch the two network cards, they'll be detected in reverse order and the previous renaming problem should vanish.

CentOS 3.3 is gone
by John Newbigin 10 May '05

10 May '05

Now that http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.3/updates/i386/RPMS/ is gone (be it by design or error) I assume that all the patches for a CentOS-3.3 box can be found in http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3.4/updates/i386/RPMS/ Can anyone confirm this? In other words, Does the 3.4 updates directory contain updates to 3.3 and 3.4? If the answer is Yes: Good. Now what about 3.1? Should those updates be in the 3.4 directory as well? If the answer is No: What am I meant to do with my CentOS-3.3 media? I can not install with it anymore because I can't get patches. The management of these update directories always causes me confusion though it should be simple.

DNS probelms

I think that I have answered my own question. I replaced the nameserver 0.0.0.0 line with the ip address that the locally running named is configured to listen on and the problem went away.
