yum update success+failure
by ken 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Just doing "yum update" on two machines (and only two), both centos 5.10, one of them updated something like 22 packages, the other just 4. Packages which were updated on the first, but didn't get updated on the second machine include: gcc, httpd, kernel-2.6.18-398.el5, and probably a couple more. Trying the update on the second machine again (a few times), it always ends, "No Packages marked for Update". So now the first has: gcc-4.1.2-55.el5 httpd-2.2.3-91.el5.centos kernel-2.6.18-371.12.1.el5.centos.plus while the second has: gcc-4.1.2-54.el5 httpd-2.2.3-87.el5.centos kernel-2.6.18-371.11.1.el5 WTH???

Bash package for CentOS5
by Mitja Mihelič 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi! I have noticed, that our mirror has this package bash-3.2-33.el5_11.4.x86_64.rpm, but a lot of other mirror still have bash-3.2-33.el5_10.4.x86_64.rpm. Since bash-3.2-33.el5_11.4.x86_64.rpm was issued on 26-Sep-2014 04:28, could this be the product of slower mirror update cycles?

2.5" to 3.5" Conversion Tray
by Matt 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Anyone know of a 2.5" to 3.5" converter so I can put a 2.5 SSD drive in a Supermicro 3.5 SATA hot swap bay? The one I purchased does not seem to work.

Help on setting up a samba domain controller
by Robert Moskowitz 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

My current samba domain controller is running ClearOS. But I am migrating to ARM servers (cubieboards) and using RedSleeve for now, and Centos7arm when that gets rolling. The driver is power savings; my ROI just on power is ~15months. So I only run an NT style Domain Controller with XP clients and roaming user profiles. It works, as there are only a few systems here are really just my wife and I. But it is nice for my wife to hop on a laptop at the dinning table and get her same desktop as she has on the den computer. So copying the basic Samba files is rather simple, it seems, but then there is the LDAP setup and the add machine and user scripts. So it gets complex rather quickly. I looked over on the Centos Wiki and did not find any help there, but my search foo has always been weak. So is there a howto I can use to get off the 'everything (and more than I want) done for me' bandwagon and build the basics myself? I figure I can deal with dnsmasq, even though I am a bind kind of guy; the configs look simple. But there is probably a dyndns piece lurking somewhere. NTP I have always done myself. I have even hacked a bit at basic Samba to maintain per user logins. But the ldap will definitely be a new experience... thanks for any pointers (that help me :) ).

Apache wakes-up inactive Exim
by Always Learning 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Had a surprising event on C 6.5. Exim was the only MTA installed. It was partially configured (with ACL, Router, Transport) and definitely not running. I was remotely testing a web page. A web page error condition invoked the embedded PHP mail() command. To my astonishment something in Centos woke-up Exim. Exim sent the email and then became inactive again. The Exim logs does not show any start-up lines, just 1. input from Apache. 2. output to remote server. 3. 'completed'. Hours later Logwatch, not yet customised, also caused inactive Exim to send an email (which got rejected by Exim because it was to local user 0). What causes Centos to temporarily activate in-active (meaning non-running) Exim ? Thanks, Paul. England EU.

RPM install/upgrade problem
by Tony Molloy 29 Sep '14

29 Sep '14

Hi, For the last few updates I'm having a yum problem. # yum update gives the following error for e.g. Running transaction Updating : bash-4.2.45-5.el7_0.2.x86_64 1/10 Error unpacking rpm package bash-4.2.45-5.el7_0.2.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/alias;5423b9bc: cpio: open The same problem happens if I try to use rpm for the update so it appears to be an rpm problem rather than a yum one. I've rebuilt the rpm databases successfully but tthe problem persists. Regards, Tony -- Linux nogs.tonyshome.ie 2.6.32-431.29.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Sep 9 21:36:05 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
