xmlrpc-c-client from CR repo requires curl >= 7.15.5-9.el5_7.4
by Yves Bellefeuille 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

The package xmlrpc-c-client-1.16.24-1206.1840.el5_7.4.i386 from the CR repository requires curl >= 7.15.5-9.el5_7.4, which isn't available. The most recent version of curl I see is 7.15.5-9.el5_6.3, also in the CR repository.

Scientific Linux 6.0 released (based on RHEL 6.0)
by Arun Khan 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

I know this is the CentOS list. However, as there has been some interest in CentOS 6.0 (RHEL 6), I thought I'd share the news here. Scientific Linux 6 is based on RHEL 6 with add-ons for scientific computing. FWIW, the Admin tools etc. are pretty much the same as in RHEL, so are the base packages.

Cannot start SSH at boot
by Dotan Cohen 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

On a particular CentOS 6 install, I must start SSH manually: # /etc/init.d/sshd start I have tried to configure it to start automatically: # chkconfig --level 3 sshd on However, it still must be manually started. I am not getting any errors. What might be preventing it from starting? Thanks. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com

Continuous releases and repository protection
by James A. Peltier 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Maybe I missed something, but it appears that the CR repository is not compatible with yum priorities & possibly repository protection. I had priority=1 set on [base] and [updates] and no updates appeared. However, when I removed priority updates from cr became visible. Is this expected? Did I miss this announcement on -devel or such because I searched but couldn't find it. -- James A.

CentOS 6, KDE 4: bad DNS traffic
by Michael D. Berger 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

On my new CentOS 6, KDE 4, running WireShark I see what appears to be frequent nonsensical DNS queries, for example: "settings-personal.desktop" and "settings-system.desktop". The DNS response is always:"No such name". Do tell! These appear especially when I click on things on the KDE menus. On my old CentOS 5 box, on the same LAN, I see no such thing. I note that I have replaced the original /etc/hosts with my own. Might these have been resolved in the original? Thanks for your comments. Mike.

Timeframe for httpd update (CVE-2011-3192)
by Timo Schoeler 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, is there any time frame foreseeable for KB providing an update for httpd? Upstream provided their SRPM yesterday, i.e. Aug 31 19:40. [0] [1] It builds flawless on several machines I tried (Scientific Linux 6, CentOS 5 and 6). Question is: Should one deploy a self-build RPM or will there be an update in the next... "time"? (Given that 5.7 is still to be done, 6.1, etc., and due to the fact there is "no such thing as a CentOS community", as was discussed end of 2010/early 2011. That's why I'm *not* going to provide my diff -- I'm not willing to spend my work into an entity that denies transparency.) Cheers.

Error installing latest CentOS kernel from %post section of kickstart
by Alfred von Campe 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

I'm running the command "yum -y update" from a script called from the the post section of my kickstart config file, and I get the following error: Installing : kernel-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686 185/378 grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template After the install, if I log in to the system and remove that RPM and then re-install it with "yum install kernel", the grub.conf file is updated correctly. Any ideas why this might be failing from kickstart? Anyone else seen this? Alfred
