extremely slow network connection
by Peter Reinhardt 17 Jun '08

17 Jun '08

Dear all, on a brand new DELL computer CentOS 5.1 installs well, but the internet connection is extremely slow (8 kB/s, indeed kiloBytes !). Did anyone find a solution to that problem ? It might be more DELL specific than CentOS specific. Yours, Peter -- v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v > Peter Reinhardt | Maître de Conférences < > Lab.

Dear CentOS users, is it possible to prepare for a certified (big North American Linux vendor) engineer exam with a CentOS install ? I have heard that the test contains questions on specific GUIs, are they included in the CentOS distribution? - Gergely

mdadm on reboot
by drew einhorn 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Hi, I'm in the process of trying mdadm for the first time I've been trying stuff out of tutorials, etc. At this point I know how to create stripes, and mirrors. My stripe is automatically restarting on reboot, but the degraded mirror isn't. -- Drew Einhorn

I have done this before, and found it to be a bit of a pain to make UNIX UID/GIDs, to ADS SID mappings the same on multiple machines. I had found a utility called wbuser , http://www.occam.com/tools/README.wbuser-1.1 , that could delete and add the UID to SID mappings but did not work for GID to SID mappings. Fortunately, I found that I could just copy the Trivial Data Base (TDB) file called winbind_idmap.tdb from one machine to all the others, and then start the samba smb and winbind daemons afterwards. Since all the machines have the same mappings, they can share nfs mounts and the file and directory ownerships are consistent across the multiple machines. Rodney Mercer

Downgrade from 5.0 to 4.6?
by Jan-Aage Frydenbø-Bruvoll 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

Dear all, I have ended up in a situation where CentOS 5.0 does not work for me - is it feasible to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.6 while the servers are up, or would the most sensible option be to just reinstall from scratch? Thanks in advance + best regards Jan

Looking for a SSMTP alternative

Hello all, since the default repositories (base, updates, addons, extras) don't have a package for SSMTP I'm looking for another small and simple MTA. What do you suggest? Should I just stick with Exim? Thanks for reading, Luigi

16 Jun '08

Hi, Is there any nice way in a .spec file to tell rpmbuild not to call brp-java-repack-jars? Some Web Searching indicates that most people just hack the script. Is there a better way ?
