Keeping machines online
by Jerry Geis 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

I am using centos 5.1. I want to keep my machines always powered on. Some machines (important ones) are UPS'd. I have also set in the BIOS (gigabyte motherboard) the power options that after power loss should do a full on. The other day we had just a momentary power drop. the UPS machines had no issue of course with that. However, the other machines did not come back on. Is there anything additional in Centos that can help ensure this machines turn back on. Perhaps something in acpi stuff? Does that need setup? Thanks for the discussion. Jerry

Re: [CentOS] Slightly OT: How to learn UNIX
by techlists＠comcast.net 06 Mar '08

I'm a big proponent of self teaching. In the IT field, it's usually hard to get an employer to pay for training, so if one isn't willing to self teach, it's hard to advance. Use user reviews on Amazon to get feedback on what books are good for learning a specific operating system. There's no substitute for hands on experience. With Solaris, you can always download ISO images and build your own test server on inexpensive x86 hardware. I don't know how you'd do that with AIX or HP, though. I've wanted to learn AIX myself, but am certainly not going to shell out several thousand bucks to buy a used AIX server.

5.0 -> 5.1
by Ashley M. Kirchner 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hi folks, I have a production server that's currently running 5.0 with all updates. What's the easiest, or perhaps best way to upgrade it to 5.1, with minimal down time? The downtime is critical, so I need to have it be a short as possible. I can live with an hour or two, but larger is going to be a pain. Suggestions? -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.

NetworkManager order
by Robert Moskowitz 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

How do I control the order in the network manager? I have read the little doc on it. And I want wireless before wired, for example. If multiple wireless, I want to be at least asked, or to set my priority (like I could do in wpa_supplicant.conf).

ipw3945 wireless not working
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

This is a new Centos 5.1 install on a HP nc2400 (that use to run XP). Completely clean install; blew away the XP partitions... After applying all the updates, and configuring for the rpmforge repo, I used yumex to install dkms and the dkms-ipw3945, ipw3945-firmware, and ipw3945d rpms. lsmod|grep ipw shows: ipw3945 180391 1 ieeee80211 33417 1 ipw3945 and dmesg)grep ipw shows: well a bunch of lines about the card including one with the Radio Frequency Kill Swithc is On But the card does not show in Network Manager. I added to modprobe.conf: alias wifi0 ipw3945 and rebooted (and power cycled) and no change. ifconfig wifi0 up gets: device not found Oh, this notebook has a Broadcom ethernet adapter that is working just fine at bootup But I have to get the wireless working today! Well maybe by tomorrow. (off to IETF next week, and IEEE 802 the following). ANy help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like the repo's for 4 and 5 are back up... but 3 is still broken. For those who want to know. I guess we might want to go easy on them though. John Hinton

slow SMTP-AUTH
by Ugo Bellavance 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi, I installed sendmail on a centos-4 openvz VM. I set up SMTP-AUTH and when I try to send mail using this server, there is a big delay in which my e-mail client (Mozilla Thunderbird) just hangs. The server, on the other hand, is idle at the same time. It does that no matter if I use no encryption, TLS, or SSL. When the client is 'hung' sendmail, on the server side haven't logged anything yet for this connection. Any idea? Regards, Ugo
