CentOS 4 post installation of all packages
by dan1 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hello. I have installed CentOS 4 on a server in a hosting company and I realise that not all packages have been installed. I would like to install all packages exactly like it is when we click on 'install everything' from the CentOS 4 installation. Is there a way of doing so with 'yum install' something ? My goal is to have the exact replicate as the default CentOS 4 'install everything' option. I am in fear that there would be other packages installed than only the ones from the default CentOS install by typing 'yum install *' if this is possible. Thanks, Daniel

Nobody, including the OP (and very possibly the interviewer) is really sure what the interviewer meant. I don't think anybody has been a "smart ass"

Logitech Marble Mouse on CentOS 4
by Angelo Machils 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hello there! I just bought this trackball and connected it to a CentOS 4 box. I googled on how to edit xorg.conf for the 2 scrollbuttons, and they work while using this section: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50" Option "Buttons" "7" Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" EndSection But then the left button is for scrolling up, and the right for scrolling down. How can I reverse this?? I have tried several sections from the internet, but most have the same result or don't work at all. Thanks in advance for any help and/or tips. Angelo

frozen centos 3 server
by Tom 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Hi, Is there any way to reboot a server that I can't access via ssh, http, ftp or any port? But I can ping, traceroute & nmap it just fine. I have no idea what is causing this lockup or lock out, even after a reboot by the DC there's nothing in the logs to show what happened. :( regards tom

CentOS on Compaq Proliant Rackmount Servers
by Robert Hanson 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Greetings, Can anyone relate experience(s) installing CentOS on Compaq rack mount servers units please? Easy no problem, easy some issues, or ghastly do not do it under any circumstances... ;) Basically, I'm looking at some used/refurb dual PIII units and will run RAID on Compaq built in SCSI or is it easy to pop in some 3ware SATA in them? Let me know in terms of CentOS 3 and/or 4 please. Regards and TIA, - rh

From: Mike Kercher <mike(a)CamaroSS.net> > I run Centos3 on many 1850R's, 5500's, 6400's and 6500's without issue. Those sound like Pentium Pro generation, not P2 on-ward. But I could be wrong, I've had too many DL series over the last 4+ years. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Some have i960 microcontroller SCSI RAID, which is rather pathetic these days. You won't break 50MBps sustained writes very easily. > or is it easy to pop in some 3ware SATA in them? They'll take 3Ware cards in the expansion slots, but they typically have SCSI SCA bays, not SATA bays. Check with HP and see if you can get DL3xx series SATA bays (I assume these are DL3xx series)? If you're worried about reliability, buy 10,000rpm SATA drives that typically roll off the same line as their SCSI/FC counterparts. I'm fairly sure the 73/146GB WD Raptors are fabbed by Hatachi and match their specs. > Let me know in terms of CentOS 3 and/or 4 please. Have run RHL9/RHEL3 on the DL1xx and 3xx series, no major issues. It really comes down to the _exact_models_ and _revisions_ (part numbers will do). Do you have those? -- Bryan J.

Re: Fix passwd/shadow/group files?

From: Paul Heinlein <heinlein(a)madboa.com> > I think it'll only work for NIS passwd maps, but I think that the > netgroups map can come from NIS *or* live in /etc/netgroup. Right. But in a nutshell, I think we agree that NIS is the way to go. Totally forgot about netgroups and using the +:::::: limitations in /etc/passwd on each NIS client. All excellent suggestions. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org
