CentOS Enterprise IPA (Identity, Policy, and Audit) Server
by Johnny Hughes 17 Nov '09

17 Nov '09

I have just completed building the RPMS for the CentOS Enterprise IPA (Identity, Policy, and Audit) Server. This is based on the sources from the Red Hat Enterprise IPA server. Documentation can be downloaded here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/pdf/eipa/1.0/ The RPMS are located in the testing repository. http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/SRPMS/CEIPA/ http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/RPMS/CEIPA/ http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/CEIPA/ For anyone who wants to test EIPA, please install and provide feedback on this thread: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3880 Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Missing yum-priorities in 5.4?
by Morten Torstensen 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

I am looking for yum-priorities or any info on any changes here for CentOS 5.4. There is also a forum post for this here: <https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22798&forum=37> Is this missing on purpose? Function merged with another yum package? Or is it just missing as an oversight? -- //Morten //morten(a)mortent.org

grub problems
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

This is irritating: I've got a server I just upgraded to 5.4, then rebooted, only to discover that it just *sits* there at the grub boot menu. I looked at grub.conf, and uncommented hiddenmenu (which should have been done long ago). It *still* sits there when I reboot. Any clues, folks? mark grub.conf: #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-164.2.1.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.18-164.2.1.el5.img title CentOS (2.6.18-164.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-164.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb initrd /initrd-2.6.18-164.el5.img <snip>

problem installing CentOS 5.3
by Buz Davis 04 Nov '09

04 Nov '09

First, let me apologize to Akemi Yagi for my delay in answering his last query. After failing with 4.8 I realized that I had at least one and possibly two computers capable of handling 5.3 (one was newly purchased second-hand and had many unknowns about it. The other was well documented but its power was obscured by a thick layer of Windows XP). To answer Akemi's last questions, yes, I am sure that the disks were all 4.8. I checked with md5sum before burning the cds and am not sure how to check further than that. I never got past using the first (modified) disk that I downloaded from the url you gave me, because anaconda failed to find a file - having to do with GNOME, so the process aborted. Again I apologize for delaying my response, but I have been occupied again with 5.3, but on the newer computers. 5.3 installed easily and correctly on the first machine (celeron, 1.2Ghz, 512M ram, 80G disk). With the second machine I am getting consistent failure to load X, despite many attempts that appeared to be good installs. For the last attempt I had about 160G of disk available, over 800M of ran, and (as reported by the BIOS, a pentium 3 processor. Unfortunately a remaining big unknown for that system is the Mhz rating for the processor. When I got it, with a broken XP system on it, it was set at 550Mhz. The BIOS allows three choices: 366, 500, and 7xx (I don't remember the last value precisely, but the system wont boot at all, so it's moot). I have mainly messed with the 550 setting, but have occasionally tried at 360. It doesn't seem to make a difference. On that system the output of uname -a gives 2.6.18-128.3l5 for the kernel, and "i686 i686 i386" at the end. Free shows 905240 total and 231688 used. Console mouse services work. When I attempt to load X I get the hollow-x cursor, then the black screen with the nautilus window and then white bars at top and bottom, along with an arrow cursor. The white bars get populated with some icons and then comes the blue screen with the doily-like design, but at that point the system appears to be hung. The computer, home, and trash icons do not appear on the desktop, nor does a mouse-pointer, and wiggling the mouse does nothing. I have compared the /var/log/Xorg.0.log files from the two machines (one that works, one that doesn't), and they both end in the same place: <snip> (--) <default pointer>: PnP-detected protocol: "ExplorerPS/2" (II) <default pointer>: ps2EnableDataReporting: succeeded <eof> I would appreciate any help in getting X to work on this second computer Thanks, Buz Davis

adding SAN "diskspace" to CentOS system residing on VMware
by ken 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hey, group, I've got a system installed on a VMware VM. The SAN administrator allocated me more disk space from the (EMC) SAN and I need ultimately to create another partition to mount on the filesystem. Two (initial) questions about this: What steps do I need to take prior to creating a new partition with fdisk? (The SAN space, BTW, is connected through VMware.) The OS is already residing on a logical volume. Is there any compelling reason to bringing the new partition into lvm (aside from the ease of resizing it... something I don't anticipate us doing)? Or should I simply create an ext3 partition and mount that? Thanks much.

Way to go, CentOS team. Here's a hearty "thank you"!
by Gilbert Sebenste 02 Nov '09

02 Nov '09

Hello all, To the CentOS developers, beta testers, and all who were involved in a small or major way in the release of CentOS 5.4...thank you. Ignoring the peer pressure, even though it was out a little later than you (and many of us) wanted, you got it RIGHT. *That* is what was important. I yum updated from 5.3 to 5.4 with NO issues that I can speak of right now. Thanks to you fine folks, and of course, the upstream vendor, for doing a fantastic job! ******************************************************************************* Gilbert Sebenste ******** (My opinions only!) ****** *******************************************************************************

Dear All To open a port , I know that I need to go to "System -> Administration -> Security Level and Firewall" -> Other ports and then I can open port-5901 as tcp protocol . Can you please do me favor and let me know how it can be done from the command line (if my CentOS is text-mode installed) ? (perhaps via iptables?) Let me thank you in advance

No entry in /var/log/boot.log
by Rod Rook 01 Nov '09

01 Nov '09

I installed CentOS 5.3 on Oct 27, 2009 and immediately updated it to 5.4. I had not paid attention to this boot log until yesterday when I decided to take a look to do some trouble shooting. Oct 27 13:16:24 localhost NET[3797]: /sbin/dhclient-script : updated >> /etc/resolv.conf > > Oct 27 13:16:29 localhost NET[4059]: >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post : updated /etc/resolv.conf > > This entry was probably made right after the fresh installation. I've done searches on the Internet for answers for this problem and the only thing I've found is that I am not the only one with this problem. But no body has offered any definite solution for it. I even posted the same question in the CentOS forum and haven't got any reply. >From what I have read, this problem may be caused by a bug or bugs in CentOS 5.x, but I hope it is not because I am in the process of switching from Fedora 10 to CentOS 5.4 and I don't want to get disappointed. Trivial as this may be, this does not give me confidence in CentOS distribution. Can anyone come up with a solution?
