Re: [CentOS] system-config-network-tui not part of base install... wtf

A "problem" is a crashing kernel or buggy drivers. My opinion after this experience is that it'd help for CentOS to include system-config-network-tui as part of the base install. That is my honest opinion about this experience. It'd have saved me from some minor annoyance, albeit an annoyance nonetheless. Just think the opposite: what would be the expense-damage of including it as part of the base install?. Would it: 1. Break the OS 2. Make things easier for people who end up in the same situation I did. 3. Affect the balance of the Universe. ;) Your choice. I think 2. FC

Let's just package a tarball and let users unpack it manually. In fact, are you advocating for the removal of system-config-network-tui ? how about removal of all non-modal text editors like joe ? let's force everyone to "think" in 'vi'... *sarcasm* FC

Can someone help with SpamBayes problem?
by fred smith 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

I've posted to the SpamBayes users list, but there seems to be no traffic there, so I've had no replies. If there is anyone here using SpamBayes, I'd appreciate some advice or at least suggestions.... I'm running Centos 5.8 here. Day before yesterday I decided to look and see if there was a newer SpamBayes than I was then using. lo and behold, there was. I was using 1.1a4, and there was a 1.1a6. so I downloaded and installed it. bad move. having done that, I now have no spam filtering at all. I run my own sendmail mail server here, and it uses procmail to deliver. Procmail invokes one of the SpamBayes tools for every email, and it adds a X-SpamBayes header with its determination of spamminess. except that now it doesn't. the nightly retrain event (a cron job) also fails, with complaints about invalid syntax in: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/lockfile-0.9.1-py2.4.egg/lockfile/linklockfile.py", line 6 from . import (LockBase, LockFailed, NotLocked, NotMyLock, LockTimeout, ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax a little snooping around at python.org shows that the "from . import" syntax was added in python 2.5. However, on Centos 5.8 we still have Python 2.4.3. (never mind that the docs on SpamBayes claim it will run on Python 2.2, they're plainly wrong). So, I tried to reinstall SpamBayes 1.1a4 over top of what I had. It appeared to install (to the extent that the info displayed when the installer runs means anything), but it doesn't work either. no spam filtering, no nightly cron job. I'm guessing I'll have to figure out, in detail, which files were installed by the 1.1a6 installation and go remove each individual one then try reinstalling 1.1a4. Unless someone can suggest a better path to try. I'd appreciate any suggestions any of you may wish to make. thanks in advance!

My own, very un-scientific evidence is that once or twice, manually editing has given errors that I don't believe were due to typos. After getting bitten once, now I just quickly set up the network, download network-tui and fix it. > network.service has the same config as 10 years ago > there is nothing preventing you disable networkmanager > > [harry@rh:~]$ rpm -qa | grep system-config-network Sorry if I was not clear on this. My point is that Fedora is trying to make it the default and pushing people to use it rather than the more traditional tools.

The installer switched to base mode/text install due to 'low memory'. I just used the default recommendation by Virtualbox for Linux-RedHat. FC

Installing Centos-6 32 bit

Is a guide to installing Centos 6 32 bit that covers such things like: Minimal Kickstart example file Centos 6 multimedia repos Plus any other things I need to be aware of when moving from 5.8 to 6.2 (I know the latest version is 6.3 but I will let yum deal with that when I upgrade the installed packages.)

Using two subnets to change network configuration
by Harold Pritchett 26 Jul '12

26 Jul '12

Problem: My network uses the 192.168.1.0/24 network. Since is the most common network in all of the world it begins presenting problems when I want to set up vpns, or try to do other routing. The solution: Change the network from 192.168.1.0/24 to 172.24.24.0/22. This is somewhere in the middle of the less frequently used RFC-1918 20 bit private network range. My network contains 40 or so nodes, windows, linux, and proprietary operating systems of various types (TiVos, iPhones, iPads, TVs, BluRay players, WAP's, etc.) What I would like to do to minimize down time would be to create a single new machine on the network with addresses on both networks and set up as a router between the networks. That way, I can convert the machines one at a time, and not loose any connectivity. When all done, take the temporary router down and just use the new addresses. Machines are set up both static and DHCP, and there are some virtual servers running on a VMware machine. Updating all of the machines using DHCP can be done in a single pass, but the static machines will have to be done one at a time. Can anyone give me any pointers to web sites to help set this up. I know how to set up multiple addresses on the same NIC (eth0 and eth0:0). After that, I'm at a bit of a loss. And Yes, I know setting up multiple subnets on the same physical wire is a bad idea, but this is only for a couple of days until I can get everything moved to the new address scheme. Thanks Harold
