Unable to remove interface (5.4)
by Jason Gates 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So here is my problem: I'm unable to remove an interface on CentOS 5.4 (/etc/init.d/network restart keeps enabling it again) Background: The system had several interfaces set (eth0 eth0.6 eth0.7 eth0.8) 1.) I added a test interface...eth0.9 2.) but later deleted the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.9 file (since i no longer needed it) 3.) I then did ifconfig eth0.9 down 4.) I then setup eth0.7 with the same IP address settings that eth0.9 had. 5.) Upon a restart of /etc/init.d/network all the interfaces come up including eth0.9 This obviously causes a problem...are there any recommendations how to remove this "deleted" interface? Many thanks! Side note: rebooting the computer isn't an option. - -Jason -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkuf6LoACgkQ3BaZWzk6Q2eVugCg1gi6W19J9F2UTKyA+3nPVWqk evwAniLKv2Vx4qZI7ITZC4wZ+AJ2Vj5A =Mvtr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Whether need to run CentOS Certification test suite to get the CentOS logo
by zhang hualan 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Howdy, I have searched related information on the CentOS website, and only get the answer "Except for CentOS CD/DVD ISOs, you may not use CentOS logos on merchandise without an individual agreement with the CentOS Project.We need to approve the use of the logos and will require that you donate a percentage of your total sales on items using the CentOS logos in this manner". But I'm still not sure whether CentOS have certification test suite and we need to run it first, such as we can get Redhat "hardware certified logo" if we pass the RedHat Certification test suite,eg V7. Thanks for your attention Donna

How can I access a ZIP file that's over 2Gb?
by Stephen Harris 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

I have a zip file. It is over 2Gb in size: -rw-r--r-- 1 sweh sweh 2383956582 Mar 13 13:44 test.zip The standard "unzip" program barfs: % unzip -l test.zip Archive: test.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of test.zip or test.zip.zip, and cannot find test.zip.ZIP, period. This is because the info-zip utilities can't handle ZIP files over 2Gb in size. Windows can access it just fine. Anyone have any recommendations on a unix tool that'll let me access these large files? -- rgds Stephen

mailman and postfix on CentOS
by David Mehler 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hello, I'm trying to get postfix and mailman going on CentOS 5.4. I had this working previously, six to eight months ago, and shut it down since the need for use was no longer there. I've now reactivated mailman and set up a list. The software versions I'm using are httpd 2.2.14, postfix 2.3.3, and mailman 2.1.9. All the services are started, the list is created, and email is sent to the list owner. The problem is reply addresses for subscriptions are being sent to mailman(a)domain.com rather than mailman(a)lists.domain.com as i want. In the email all the email addresses point to mailman(a)lists.domain.com except for the reply to header that goes to as i said mailman(a)domain.com. The lists.domain.com is a subdomain dedicated to the mailing list.The mailman newlist command correctly creates list aliases in /etc/mailman/aliases file. Any ideas? Thanks. Dave.
