installing centOS5.5
by Ritika Garg 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Want to install CentOS 5.5 by burning the image on DVD. On the link: http://mirrors.hns.net.in/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/, there is a list given. CentOS-5.5-x86 64-bin-DVD.torrent is in the list. So is the download of the .iso possible only through torrent? There is CentOS-5.5-x86 64-netinstall.iso Is this also an .iso which one can download to install CentOS5.5?

Determine next UID number
by John Kennedy 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

When I used Solaris years and years ago there was a command that would be able to tell you the next available non-system UID number for the system (can't remember what it is now, I have slept since then...). Is there an equivalent in CentOS? Thanks, John -- John Kennedy

After system update yesterday, Openwebmail now gives an error: > Undefined subroutine &Compress::Zlib::memGzip called at /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/shares/ow-shared.pl line 1175. I tried to do perl -MCPAN -e shell install Compress::Zlib But it says Compress::Zlib is up-to-date. What do to?? I cannot find an answer by googling. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) jussi.hirvi(a)greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi

What's the likelihood that two NICs in a row have a faulty flash?

Hi Akemi, Thanks for the reply. >Do you mean no src.rpm of your custom kernel? If so, rpmbuild -bs will build >it. The only source rpm I can find is from the CentOS Extras. FIlename makes it appear that you need the 2.6.18-8.1.8 kernel from CentOS Extras: kvm-kmod-36-1.2.6.18_8.1.8.el5.src.rpm If I try to rebuild that with: rpmbuild --rebuild --target=x86_64 kvm-kmod-36-1.2.6.18_8.1.8.el5.src.rpm I get error that I need the 2.6.18-8 kernel-devel package, if I install that it will build but it results in a kernel module built for the 2.6.18-8 series but I need for my 2.6.18-194 series. So on your advice I jumped into my SPECS dir and tried: rpmbuild -bs --target=x86_64 kvm-kmod.spec and it gave me: Wrote: ~/kend/rpmbuild/SRPMS/kvm-kmod-36-1.2.6.18_194.11.4.el5.1.x64.src.rpm I guess it all comes down to experience. Being not to familiar with rpmbuild I did not know you could do that. Thanks for the tip! >kmod-kvm is built from kvm and it is kernel version independent, >kABI-tracking. This means that, if your custom kernel is kABI >compatible with the distro kernel, the kvm module will continue to >work. I wish that was better documented. So as long as I have kABI checking enabled when I build my custom I should be golden? I apparently did not fully understand kABI either than. I did have some trouble with kABI at first and disabling it solved the issue, not sure if it's still disabled, but I will check. Thanks for the info! I wont call this thread solved until I get the chance to try these two options out and see where I get. Sounds like sticking with using kABI is my best bet either way if case I run into this again in the future with other things. Getting into the visualization world for the first time so I have a learning curve to clime here. Thank you for the tips, I will do some testing then post the results. -KenD Kenneth M DeChick Linux Systems Administrator Community Computer Service, Inc. http://www.medent.com kend(a)medent.com Registered Linux User #497318 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Schshschshchsch.-- The Gorn, "Arena", stardate 3046.2 .

One server not showing SSH port, the other is.
by Dotan Cohen 13 Oct '10

13 Oct '10

I have two CentOS servers running SSH on two different non-standard ports. So far as I can tell, they have identical /etc/ssh/sshd_config files with the exception of the different port (both are 22xx). However, when running nmap on them, one betrays the port that SSH is running on, and the other does not. I have shut down iptables on both machines and the behaviour remains this way. What could be the cause? Specifically, how can I hide the port that SSH is running on? I'm sorry that I cannot provide the IP addresses, the owner of the servers doesn't want that! I also know how silly it is to do "stealth" ports but I'm not the one making the decision! Thanks! -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com
