syslog socket limit
by Xinhuan Zheng 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi, Syslogd has an option "-a socket". According to man page, this additional sockets is limited to 19. Currently I do need to have more than 19 sockets that syslogd needs to listen on. How can I accomplish that if I don't want to change syslogd.c code? Thanks, - xinhuan

OT: Recommendations for a virtual storage server
by carlopmart 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi all, I need to install a virtual machine acting as a virtual storage server under CentOS 5.x (using kvm, xen, virtualbox or vmware). This virtual storage machine needs to server storage to another ESXi server and at the same time to the host where is installed. This is due to the limitations of hardware I have available. Both hosts needs to server several machines. It is very important that the virtual machine consumes the least resources possible (host has 5GB RAM and i need to run three virtual machines minimum, including this storage server as a virtual machine). What can be better solution: CentOS, NexentaStor, openfiler ...?? Many thaks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

Groups
by Jason S-M 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi All, On one of my servers I have a personal account and root. I disable root for ssh logins and run ssh on an alternative port. When 'scp'ing files I usually scp them up, then ssh in 'su' root and move them to /var/www/html. I can sftp I realize, but what group can I add my personal account to, but not root, so I can sftp in and put the files in /var/www/html? Secondarily /var/www/html/<my website> is owned by root:root, can I change this to something else so my sftp'ing is easier? apache:apache as owner? -Jason

Building RPMs for CentOS
by Marcos Lois Bermúdez 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi. Some times i need to build packages for CentOS, the major requeriment is build some missing module or package newer version required to run some sotware. I setup a mock build enviroment to compile packages, all is working as expected, but i enconter problem to share this work in a source repo, i try to figure out how other people are making this, in CentOS i have no idea on which source repo are kept the package metadata, specs and patches, but in other repos, epel for example it only versions specs and patches, all binary files are downloaded in the time that the srpms are built to send to mock (koji in their case), fedora is swiching from a Makefile per package to a fedpkg tool to work with package sources. I see that a friend will be spectool, and some of scripting i can get a build system from source version control, but i think that this already is made, so i'm don't want to reinvent the well, i prefer help other people in make more robust system. There is a currently model for package metadata store and common task work? Regards.

Above fact. below imho Now, experience often helps reach the source of the problem much faster that fast-talking street-smart agents who proliferated. It is sad that IT industry treats its early community members so callously. I don't know but Dell seems to be headed the Sun way -- open for takeover by HP/IBM Above imho. Regards, Rajagopal
