Yum updates vs current packages
by Bowie Bailey 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Sorry if the subject is a bit vague. I wasn't sure how to summarize this. I am building a new server (CentOS4.2) and I am trying to stay with RPM installs as much as possible. The problem is with packages that I would like to keep more up to date than allowed by the repositories. This will be a mailserver doing spam and virus checking. As such, I want SpamAssassin and ClamAV to be as up-to-date as possible. The current rpm for ClamAV is 6 months and 3 releases behind. What is the best way to keep these packages up to date while avoiding dependency issues in yum? -- Bowie

Anyone running VMWARE server on CentOS?
by WipeOut 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Hi, I guess the subject says it all.. I am thinking about combining a few servers onto a single server since they mostly do nothing much at all which would mean there would be less load on the UPS and a lot less noise in my office.. Since VMWare server is now free its probably the perfect time to do it.. The only issue is getting the VMWare up and running.. I would prefer to run it on CentOS as the host OS but if it means recompiling half the system and not being able to use standard updates then it will probably just be a pain.. Has anyone set this up on CentOS yet and if so what did you have to do to get it running? Thanks

Centos on a Thumb drive
by Robert Moskowitz 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Here are 2 different 4Gb USB drives. Flash memory: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail~dpno~339754.asp $143 Mini Drive: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail~dpno~306189.asp $80 How does one load Centos on these? Can you boot from CD, point to an FTP server for OS, and install on the USB drive, eventhough the system has its own harddrive? Does the install have to be for a specific system? Of course right now, I only have one USB bootable laptop. Oh, and ecost is one of the best places to get things like SD memory. Watch their budget countdown...

problem in getting data through cacti from windows xp
by ankush grover 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

hey friends, I am using cacti cacti-0.8.6-1.2 on Centos 4.0. I want to monitor my network through cacti, I have few windows and linux clients in my network. I have created a device or a host for Linux. I am able to get most of the information except Available Disk Space "Unix Available Disk Space". The client is Fedora Core 3 and the system on which cacti is running is Centos 4.0. Moreover I am not able to monitor the Windows XP Clients.The snmp is running on the Windows XP PRO SP2 but the cacti shows "SNMP Error" I am selecting Windows 2000/XP host and snmp version 1 with community string as "public". Please let me know if you need any further inputs. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

RE: [CentOS] mkdir Fail when creating multiple directories

mkdir -p <list of dirs to create> ________________________________ From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Data Control Systems - Mike Elkevizth Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2006 4:44 PM To: centos(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS] mkdir Fail when creating multiple directories Hi, I use the program Unison to synchronize two servers and have been having a problem recently with errors saying mkdir failed. The program tries to make backup copies of any file it is going to overwrite before it actually does the sync. The backups have been failing because of the mkdir failure. To try and find the problem, I logged in as root and then tried the same command that unison was trying and it failed for me also. I can't seem to get mkdir to create more than one directory at a time which is a real problem for unison, because sometimes the file to be backed up is 5 or 6 directories deep. Does anyone know why this could happen? I am running CentOS 4.0 with all the available security updates applied. Thank You, Mike Elkevizth

ports appear as filtered to internal network
by Roger D Vargas 22 Feb '06

22 Feb '06

Im developing an online game. After upgrading from Fedora to Centos 4.2 I noticed I no longer can connect to the server when the client is running outside the Centos PC. Making an udp scan from my internal network with nmap revealed that the port used by game server application appears as "filtered". In my firewall script I have a rule to allow all trafic in the internal interface, so, I dont know why does the port appears as filtered. How can i solve this? -- Roger D.
