Postfix not set top start after upgrade
by Micha Silver 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

I noticed that after the lastest yum update on CentOS 5.6 we get Postfix 2.3.3, but the status of the postfix service (chkconfig --list postfix) changes to off. So after a reboot, it doesn't start automatically. I don't recall this ever happening before. Is this by design? A packaging error? Thanks, Micha

CentOS 6 IPv6: neighbor and restart network
by Helmut Drodofsky 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Hallo, for using the ipv6 neighbor functions, I have to execute commands like ip -6 neigh add proxy 2001::211:d8ff:fe97:3273 dev eth0 to publish the ip of computers in the subnet. To execute them on reboot, I have included these commands in /etc/rc.d/rc.local Also after each restart of the network, I have to execute these commands too. So: how can I always execute /etc/rc.d/rc.local after service network restart My idea: Is it possible to rename /etc/network to /etc/network_original and to create a new shell script /etc/network to execute both? Other/better advice? Thank you for help in advance. Helmut

Re: [CentOS] (c 5.6) Running 2 versions of Apache ?

If they are looking for Micro$loth specific pages, I redirect them to Micro$loth's Web site. I figure if they want Micro$loth stuff, may as well send them to the source. :-)

mail.centos.org : packets to strange ports
by Always Learning 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Reading a daily Logwatch report I noticed mail.centos.org sending packets to my outgoing mail server. The packets were blocked by IPtables. >From 72.26.200.202 - 18 packets To xx.xx.xx.xx - 18 packets Service: 33120 (tcp/33120) - 2 packets Service: 33906 (tcp/33906) - 4 packets Service: 39856 (tcp/39856) - 2 packets Service: 42049 (tcp/42049) - 2 packets Service: 54517 (tcp/54517) - 2 packets Service: 54792 (tcp/54792) - 4 packets Service: 58445 (tcp/58445) - 2 packets I thought all outgoing mail dialogue was conducted on port 25. Incoming mail from Centos is usually received by a different server. Thanks, Paul. -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU.

rpm and /etc/cron.daily/rpm
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

The rpm package used to provide /etc/cron.daily/rpm /etc/logrotate.d/rpm I see /usr/lib/rpm/rpm.log and rpm.daily, which looks like they're intended for that purpose. Anyone have any idea why they're not in cron.daily and logrotate.d? mark

ImageMagick : Centos GUI ?
by Always Learning 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

I accidentally discovered 'convert'. It is a command line utility. Changing a file from png to gif works like this convert aaa.png aaa.gif Amazingly simple, powerful and effective. I've since discovered it has an amazing list of options convert --help a manual file:///usr/share/doc/ImageMagick-6.2.8/www/convert.html and a web site http://www.imagemagick.org/ Does anyone have suggestions for a GUI which works for Centos 5.6 ? In production I run the command line program from PHP with 'exec'. Thank you, Paul. Currently automatically, rotating when necessary, downsizing photographs to 900 pixels wide (the software calculates the height) and labelling them with the file reference and photograph date - all in one quick operation. Mind boggling options, more than I've ever seen in similar software. Really amazed :-)

If you are using CentOS 6 and KDE....
by Anne Wilson 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

The desktop will look strange and behave differently. If you need any help in getting used to it, either join the kde user list, https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde , the kde forum, http://forum.kde.org/ , or mail me personally. Once again I will turn off receipt from this list. The attitude of several posters is unacceptable to me. Anne

Off topic list for centos please?
by Keith Roberts 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

Could we have a centos-offtopic list please, so anything that would be considered OT can be posted there? That way it would keep anything considered as OT and list-noise off the main centos specific list. So each users then has the option of being on the main centos list, and/or the centos-offtopic list as well. That would keep the more experienced centos users happy, and allow us less experienced centos users to also learn from each other as well. I for one like to learn from such posts as the [CentOS] OT: Hardware upgrade help, as 64 bit is something I'm interested in learning about from other centos users that wish to contribute to threads like these. I think the centos-offtopic list should also be centos related, but not so strict postings as the current list is.

CentOS 6: wpa_supplicant, unexpected behavior
by Michael D. Berger 30 Aug '11

30 Aug '11

On my CentOS 6: chkconfig --list wpa_supplicant shows off at all levels, which is confirmed by examination of: /etc/init.d/wpa_supplicant but ps -ef shows the process running. Furthermore, repeated cd /etc/init.d/ ./wpa_supplicant stop appears to succeed, but the process continues to run. These observations were made at levels 3 and 5. Thanks in advance for your explanation. Mike.

heartbeat
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Is anyone else running heartbeat on CentOS 6 on x86_64? We have it installed, rpm -qi says it's from fedora, and /etc/init.d/heartbeat, after sourcing its shell environment, decides that it should look for the executables in /usr/lib/heartbeat. Unfortunately, where I found them, and where the package installed them, is in /usr/lib64/heartbeat. I haven't d/l the RH rpm, since I see that's in fedora, so I'm *assuming* they're they same. I just want to check, before I file a bug with upstream. mark
