We got rsync all started when we were using Gentoo, but have since moved to CentOS. Right now I have seperate scripts for hourly, daily and weekly. The hourly does all the heavy lifting, with daily and weekly being simple scripts that makes hardlinks from all the hourly snapshots. All in all, it's pretty cool. Never have to flip tapes everyday in the tape library, works on holidays without missing backups and restores happen at network speeds. If you've ever tried to pull 100GB off of AIT3 tapes, you know what I'm talking about. Mark

Poor man's method would be the rsnapshot tool in dag's repository. Relatively easy to do hourly snapshots with rsync from a single config file. alex

In the Linux Hacks book, one of the hacks goes over using rsync to do snapshots to another system. My NAS are configured to do hourly, daily and weekly snapshots to another NAS. Way cheaper than tapes, and much faster to restore in an emergency. HTH Mark

What is the official method to install Java on Centos? I searched, but could find no mention of Java on the Web site. Ted Miller Centos 4.3 x86_64 Indiana

htaccess htpasswd and satellite connections
by John Hinton 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Yeah, maybe this is a bit on the edge.... I am discovering several issues with users on satellite internet connections not being able to authenticate via a htaccess/htpasswd system. Some users cannot connect at all, some can connect reliably.. and some are hit and miss.. works one day and not the next. Yet those same users can log in fine if they switch back to their dialup system. Has anybody else found this and is there a magic tweak somewhere to help this work? Thanks, John Hinton

by Email Lists 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Greetings I was informed on another list about this... im not a serious programming or exploit creation expert yet this appears to me to be fairly serious..... For those of you that have not heard about it, there has been a www.clamav.net update to 88.4 I roll my own rpms so I don't wait for upstream on this one... and for all I know they have dealt with it already... Anyways, FYI Thanks and kind regards, - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

i386 and x86_64 depsolver issue with Seamonkey
by Johnny Hughes 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

CentOS uses the yum dependency solver for doing updates and not the RHN (normal) up2date mechanism. That is functionality built into up2date. Due to this difference, there is a problem with the Seamonkey upgrade to replace Mozilla using up2date on CentOS-4, because it does not see Seamonkey as obsoleting Mozilla. (This is a problem with the yum depsolver that is included in up2date). Due to this problem, to upgrade from Mozilla to Seamonkey use this command from the command line instead of up2date: yum upgrade seamonkey ------------------ Yum is the official upgrade tool for CentOS. If you are currently using up2date, you should consider switching to yum as this is not the first issue that up2date has had when doing "obsoletes" type updates. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Yum w/o direct connect
by Ted Miller 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

I am hoping someone else is already doing what I need to do, and can give me some pointers. Situation: 1. I am running Centos 4.3 x86_64 on a machine at home, without broadband access. I have dialup access, but that doesn't work very well for something like "yum update", so I am still running 4.3 as issued on the CDs. 2. I have high speed access at work, and I have a USB drive to move files from work to home. Proposed solution (other than get broadband): A. Make a "pretend repo" on the hard drive of home machine by: 1. Install yum "index" file for each repo in directories at home. Use rsync via dialup to keep those repo "indexes" up to date (after initial install). [A sample rsync command line would be helpful.] 2. Persuade yum to give me a list of packages (that I need to download in order to execute a package install or update) and capture that list in a format that I can feed into rsync (at work). 3. Have a way to separate package list into three categories: a. Packages already in correct version my local repository. b. Packages needing an update in my local repo. c. Packages I need to download wholesale. 4. Have a way to copy packages needing updates to USB drive. 5. Take list of packages to work, and use rsync to transfer/update the packages onto the USB drive. 6. Bring USB drive home and dump contents into local repo. 7. Run yum to do the updates. I think this is how to do things in general terms, but I could use a good bit of help in coming up with some scripts to automate/semiautomate the process. I think #3 may be the hardest one to automate. Anyone doing this? Anyone good with rsync and yum, and care to give me a starting point, even if your try is untested? Console approach is fine (GUI OK too), but I am new to yum (moving from Mandriva), and have used rsync a few times successfully, but am no master at it. Also, I have 4 install disks. Which repos are on those disks, and which repos are on which ones? Do any of them include CentOS Plus? Ted Miller CentOS 4.3 x86_64
