copying to a local mirror / repository
by Richer, Mark (CIV) 15 Oct '15

15 Oct '15

I am using CentOS on a private network which can’t access the Internet so I want to create a local repository of packages on one or more DVDs, and get it installed on the private network. Someone had done this for CentOS 7, but not for CentOS 6. I have a VM running 6 so I am trying to create it for the previous major version. I thought there would be some obvious instructions on the preferred/recommended method for doing this, but I have failed to find them. Can anyone respond with any useful links on how best to do this or provide the recommended set of steps. I have seen various postings on this topic, but not anything official from the CentOS community. thanks much, Mark MARK H RICHER, MS CS Faculty Research Associate Computer Science Department Naval Postgraduate School - National Capital Region (NCR) 703-275-8533 (o) 571.303.9498 (m) mhricher(a)nps.edu<mailto:mhricher@nps.edu>

tcp wrappers Question..
by Jason Welsh 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

hey folks, I keep seeing this on the internet "The user name lookup feature of TCP Wrappers uses identd to identify the username of the remote host. By default, this feature is disabled, as identd may appear hung when there are a large number of TCP connections." but I cant seem to find out how/where to enable said feature. Jason

redistribution of isolinux binaries
by Brian Reichert 14 Oct '15

14 Oct '15

I've been making my own custom RHEL / CentOS boot CDs for years, and all of the instructions for such work call out to take a distro's CD, and copy key files from it. Among those files are those that I think are associated with the the SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX project; e.g.: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/images/ http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/isolinux/ Two questions: - As the SYSLINUX project is GPLed, to hand out binaries implies the sources are available somewhere, but I can't find an official point of reference on where the corresponding sources are. - Further, near as I can tell, the SYSLINUX project makes no reference to Kickstart, but I do see Fedora refer to Kickstart: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SyslinuxOption This has me wondering if Fedora maintains local changes to the SYSLINUX project. If it does, that further lends to my interest in tracking down the utilized sources. Does anyone have any insight on these topics, or, at the very least, a better forum to pursue them? -- Brian Reichert <reichert(a)numachi.com> BSD admin/developer at large

Hi, I have a high-end (32 GB RAM, 2 TB hard-disk) machine where I wanted to install CentOS 6.7 operating system. I am also using a nvidia 1 GB GPU from ASUS. With all this, I am not able to instal CentOS 6.7, The last message that shows on my screen, when I try installing, is "[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20140905 for 0000:00:02.0 on mirror 1". Any suggestions? Regards

None of my Centos 5 boxen can show flash since the update this morning. Am I alone or do other people have this issue ?? Centos 7 boxes work properly. I haven't looked at RHEL 6 boxes yet. Although I miss using flash on these boxes, it IS a great security upgrade....

Firewalld
by Emmett Culley 13 Oct '15

13 Oct '15

I just noticed that when rebooting a CentOS 7 server the firewall comes back up with both interfaces set to REJECT, instead of the eth1 interface set to ACCEPT as defined in 'permanent' firewalld configuration files. All servers are up to date. By "just noticed" I mean that I finally investigated why a newly rebooted VM failed to allow NFS connections. Prior to doing that. I'd been stopping the firewall to get access, then restarting the firewall after setting the eth1 interface to ACCEPT. This time I took a look at iptables and found that eth1 was set to REJECT, before I stopped the firewall. Because it was obvious that firewalld had been started by systemd by noticing the output of iptabled -nvL had the same set of rules you can see when firewalld is restarted, except that after restart interface eth1 is set to ACCEPT. I assume there must be a different set of configuration files that are accessed upon reboot than those accessed upon firewalld restart. Note that all CentoOS 7 machines (VM and hardware) in our data center have this same issue. Anyone know where and what those files are? Emmett

How can I prevent the laptop from sleeping when the lid is closed. I tried messing with the settings in gnome-power-preferences but that doesn't seem to prevent it when no one is logged in. Any suggestions? Thanks, Dave
