The most weird thing i've ever seen (networking)
by Mário Gamito 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

Hi, I've installed a mail server using CentOS 4.4 Now, if i reboot the server remotely by ssh, when it cames up, i have no network. The interface is up and everything looks pretty fine. But i can't even ping other machines in the same intranet. If i reboot it locally at the console, the network cames just fine. Never seen nothing like this. The mind boggles :( Any ideas ? Warm Regards, Mário Gamito

CentOS 4.4 lvm and drbd 0.8?
by Chuck Mattern 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

I'm running CentOS 4.4 and drbd 0.7 with ext3 filesystems on the drbd device. I'm very interested in moving to drbd 0.8 and pulling my all of my drbd devices into one lvm for greater flexibility in filesystems. I've seen some notes on doing this but wonder if anyone on this list has a cookbook for doing this. Also noted that on the drbd site the only packages they have are set up for the 2.6.9-34.106 kernel. Any thoughts on when there might be a drbd .8 package for the current kernel? Thanks for any wisdom on this, Chuck

php-4.4 rpm
by Michael Kress 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Hi, has somebody already succeeded in creating a php-4.4 rpm under centos-4.4? php version 4.3.9 compiles perfectly, but taking the 4.3.9 spec and replacing the source tar.gz (and omitting the patches) doesn't work at all. I could provide you with details about compile errors, but I think I should check the availability of a 4.4 package before trashing you with details. TIA Regards Michael -- Michael Kress, kress(a)hal.saar.de http://www.michael-kress.de / http://kress.net P E N G U I N S A R E C O O L

Bind src.rpm from CentOS or RHEL 5 beta
by Florin Andrei 04 Mar '07

04 Mar '07

Anybody knows where can I find the src.rpm package with Bind that was included in the RHEL5 beta (or in the upcoming CentOS 5 beta)? I assume it's legal to download and rebuild this src.rpm since the license is GPL, right? -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Re: [CentOS] Making VNC run on port 8080 on Centos 3.4
by Randy Zagar 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

This is part of my documentation for VNC under RHEL-4. All of the configuration file changes below were originally formatted as "diff -u" patches. Email may have mangled them, so beware. I assume standard gnome desktop packages have been installed, if you want another desktop manager you'll have to figure out how to configure that yourself. I frequently use vncviewer -via secure.vnc.host localhost:50 to tunnel VNC over an SSH session Here's the text: =Managing VNC Sessions With Xinetd= There is an old protocol for managing remote displays on X-Terminals called XDMCP (X11 Display Manager Control Protocol). Never heard of an X-Terminal? Well, that's no surprise... X-Terminals are sooo 20-th century... Everybody calls them Thin Clients now. Fortunately, old protocols never die and every once in a while we get to recycle them. What we are going to do is configure a VNC service that's controlled by XInetd. That way, a VNC server process only gets started when somebody asks for one... And since we're enabling XDMCP support for the Gnome Display Manager (GDM), each VNC client connection will get a graphical gdm login screen. It doesn't result in a persistent session, but it's much easier to configure and maintain. ==Linux Configuration Files== ===/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config=== --- /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config 2006/02/14 04:33:24 1.1 +++ /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config 2006/02/14 04:33:58 @@ -29,4 +29,4 @@ !

I have just installed CentOS 4.4 and can't get the ethernet to work Ethernet is built into the motherboard: Marrvell Technology Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controler (reported by Network Configuration) It shows the device is active. using static address /etc/resolv.conf is setup correctly The problem is that I can not talk to anything outside the system. This has worked with Mandriva, Fedora, SuSe and gentoo. Mike

RPMs
by Mário Gamito 03 Mar '07

03 Mar '07

Hi, I think my problem is related to the way i make my RPMs (i'm newbie at this). Two things: 1) the generated RPMs are only 1,5 kb size. That's inpossible. 2) The rpmbuild -ba zbr.spec indeed installs the software in the building stage. That's odd, isn't it ? Following my signature is an openssl.spec file Any help would be appreciated.

Try this: Log into two shells (or use screen, or whatever), A and B. In A, do "cd ~; mkdir -p xxx/yyy; cd xxx/yyy; touch 123; ls -l 123". Then, in B, do "cd ~; rm -rf xxx". Finally, back in A, repeat what you did above, "ls -l 123; pwd; /bin/pwd". You will find the behavior is the same. Good luck, robert
