Could this be an advantage of CentOS over the PNAELV distribution?
by Luigi Perroti 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hello all, I understand that when releasing updates the CentOS team strips logos and such things from the upstream sources. If I'm not mistaken there is also a certain QA process going on before the actual releases, at least for major updates like the upcoming 5.2 version. Does this happen also for security updates? Since I don't mind the small delay from the upstream releases I was wondering if the additional QA process could actually be an advantage over the PNAELV distribution. This could be even more true if the QA isn't only related to CentOS specific changes but it's done even for practically untouched updates. Is this assumption correct? Thanks for reading, Luigi

yum upgrade 4.3 -> current ?
by Chris Boyd 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Got a box running 4.3 x86 and we're trying up get it updated to 4.6, but yum is consuming all available memory (1GB) and swap (2GB), and then the oom starts killing processes. I've disabled all the optional repositories, done yum clean all, and still have the same problem even if I try to just update a specific package. Google got me this link, but no obvious resolution: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php? forum=8&topic_id=5588&viewmode=flat Any pointers appreciated. --Chris

Bind Standard Practise
by Joseph L. Casale 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

In a chroot Bind installation, named.conf is located in /var/named/chroot/etc/. In that file, references to files for includes and other zones can be made as "filename" without a path. What is the expected location when no path is used, simply up one dir under chroot/? While moving a DNS from one machine to another, I noticed all ref's are "/etc/filename" and they are in the same dir as named.conf which obviously looks different from all the sample files. Thanks! jlc

Excluded files from repos?
by Sam Drinkard 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Ok.. I'm way behind the 8-ball on setting things up correctly, but after going over the protection things in yum, I ran a yum check-update and it returned with having 318 files excluded because of protection. Is that too high a number? I have the numerical protection set to 1. Is there a good tutorial about how to correctly set up the protect base. Sorry if this is a noobie question.. I've been away from CentOS for some time and needing to get back into the swing of things. Thanks.. Sam

RHEL/CentOS5.2 and rsyslogd
by Laurence Alexander Hurst 11 Jun '08

11 Jun '08

Hi there, I am slightly confused by the RHEL release notes and an earlier thread here about rsyslogd, so I hope someone can clear this up for me; I see that rsyslog is included in RHEL as of 5.2 (and so will be available in CentOS when 5.2 is ready) however there is no indication of whether it has been made the default syslogger or not - is it an optional package or installed by default on a fresh install? (I would check myself, but I do not have any RHEL5 machines to hand.) Thanks -Laurence

does/will this school have a website, or at least one web page somewhere, where it presents itself and mentions that it uses Free Software? If yes, please let me know, I'd like to add a link to it on this page: At this stage they have nothing and this is where I am getting involved to setup website for them as well Marco once I get the project going I will send you the link to the school website and you can add the link on http://digifreedom.net/node/55 -- Thanks Harry S
