CentOS 6 updating policy
by David McGiven 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

I am migrating from debian to RHEL (CentOS) and I am wondering how the CentOS 6 updating system works. Suppose I install CentOS 6.1 now. Suppose in 8 months CentOS 6.2 is released. Now I issue a yum update, so my system will be updated to CentOS 6.2, or I will have an updated 6.1 ? What if I have been issuing yum update very day just to be sure there are no packages with urgent security bugs ? I am having a very updated 6.1 or an almost 6.2 ? Or are they the same thing ? I think that during this time I should be using Continous Release repository, right ? Also, which is the policy regarding new versions of software, kernel and libs ? The bugfixes will be backported or there will be major differences between, let’s say, 6.1 and 6.4 ? I couldn’t find all of these question properly answered in the FAQs Thanks in advance. Regards, David

Alle, We recently received a requirement to implement a KB/FAQ solution that must: Web based Be searchable Allow registration of users Keep a history of user queries Allow new queries sent to subject matter experts via email and receive email updates when answers have been posted. Something along the lines of what CAP does using RightNow. Does anyone have any opensource suggestions for this kind of solution? Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W.

Can't run fail2ban 0.8.4 [CentOS 6]
by Kévin GASPARD 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hi, To begin I'm sorry for my poor English level, that's not my first language. On CentOS 6 I've installed fail2ban 0.8.4 from EPEL repository. I've configured it with this page : http://centoshelp.org/security/fail2ban/ Then I've tried this command : chkconfig --level 23 fail2ban on && service fail2ban start but the output says it fallen, nothing more. The status option says is stopped. Also I don't have log for it and no manual page (for the latest, this is normal ?). This is my /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf : http://pastebin.com/j5FhJzKY I'm asking here because I don't find help on Google, #centos and forums. Cordially, Kévin "Koshie" GASPARD.

Intel wireless firmware
by Ron Loftin 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

This may not be the best place to ask, but Google hasn't given me any useful information. I have an "older" laptop that is using the Intel 2200 wireless interface. I installed CentOS 5 on it some time ago and everything is fine. When I was reviewing my kickstart setups I found that the ipw2200 firmware package is no longer available in RPMForge. The CentOS site's how-to page for this interface still refers to RPMForge, so that now seems out of date. What happened to the Intel firmware packages on RPMForge and where else should I be looking for them ? I tried ELRepo and didn't see them there. Suggestions and pointers are welcome, and thanks in advance. -- Ron Loftin reloftin(a)twcny.rr.com "God, root, what is difference ?" Piter from UserFriendly

Archive mail format?
by Les Mikesell 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

I have a bunch of old mail spread variously across dovecot maildirs and mbox format files on several machines that are headed for the trash. Is there anything considered to be a portable archive format for mail messages, and if so are there tools to copy into it - or do I have to pick a client and copy to its local storage? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

CentOS-5.7 + megaraid + SELinux : update problem
by Philippe Naudin 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Hello, After updating to CentOS-5.7, I have a (small) problem : The context of /dev/megadev0 is now defined (in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts) as system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0. This cause smartmontools to fail : avc: denied { read write } for pid=2847 comm="smartd" name="megadev0" dev=tmpfs ino=8284 scontext=system_u:system_r:fsdaemon_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:removable_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file Changing the context (of megadev0) to fixed_disk_device_t solves the problem, but is this the best solution ?

VirtualBox on CentOS 6.0?
by David McGuffey 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

I have an older quad-core AMD processor that supports hardware virtualization on a motherboard that does not support it in the bios. Eventually I'll swap the mobo out on this box for one that will support hardware virtualization and use qemu-kvm. I prefer kvm because of SELinux and sVirt that protects the host from VM breakout should a VM become hostile. In the meantime, I want to start work on a web project and want to use this idle machine and CentOS 6.0 in a VM. What I prototype and learn will eventually be moved to the production machine using kvm and sVirt. So...I downloaded and installed Virtualbox 4.x but haven't yet had the time to check it out. Any tips/tricks concerning it? Dave

What happened to 6.1
by Jerry Geis 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Hi gang - Love CentOS - you guys to a fabulous job. It has been a while since I saw any update... I went to twitter.com/centos nothing there, twitter.com/centos6 nothing there, went to the qa calendar stuff nothing there. Last I saw was something in September saying all RPM's are built and doing ISO's. Then nothing. I know the whole story about its ready when its ready and I'm all for that... Its simply I went looking today and saw no status and was wondering what happened. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. Thanks! jerry
