I followed your second suggestion and was able to have "yum install" see it after removing the old package. Why is the "rpm -e" required? It seems like I should be able to do "yum update" and specify the package version as long as it is newer than what is currently installed. -- Bowie

Can I > grab the rpm from somewhere and do a local install? Replying to myself... I was able to find the rpm by using the websites referenced in the repo. I can update everything else using yum and then install this one package manually and things should work fine. This still leaves me with a question, though. If I can find the rpm by looking in the repo, why can't yum find it? Does it refuse to show old packages even when the version is specified? # ls kernel* kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL.i686.rpm # # yum info kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL Setting up repositories Reading repository metadata in from local files # -- Bowie

yum updates
by Bowie Bailey 08 Aug '06

I am trying to update my cluster servers to a newer kernel. As the csgfs stuff is not updated for 2.6.9-34.0.2.EL yet, I have to use 2.6.9-34.0.1.EL. If I specify to update the cluster packages, yum will automatically find the proper kernel package to meet the dependency. The problem is that I also need the kernel-smp-devel package installed so that I can build a new AoE driver. It doesn't get installed via dependencies and I can't figure out how to install it manually. Hints anyone? How can I install kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-34.0.1.EL via yum? Can I grab the rpm from somewhere and do a local install? Thanks, -- Bowie

We got rsync all started when we were using Gentoo, but have since moved to CentOS. Right now I have seperate scripts for hourly, daily and weekly. The hourly does all the heavy lifting, with daily and weekly being simple scripts that makes hardlinks from all the hourly snapshots. All in all, it's pretty cool. Never have to flip tapes everyday in the tape library, works on holidays without missing backups and restores happen at network speeds. If you've ever tried to pull 100GB off of AIT3 tapes, you know what I'm talking about. Mark

Poor man's method would be the rsnapshot tool in dag's repository. Relatively easy to do hourly snapshots with rsync from a single config file. alex

In the Linux Hacks book, one of the hacks goes over using rsync to do snapshots to another system. My NAS are configured to do hourly, daily and weekly snapshots to another NAS. Way cheaper than tapes, and much faster to restore in an emergency. HTH Mark

htaccess htpasswd and satellite connections
by John Hinton 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Yeah, maybe this is a bit on the edge.... I am discovering several issues with users on satellite internet connections not being able to authenticate via a htaccess/htpasswd system. Some users cannot connect at all, some can connect reliably.. and some are hit and miss.. works one day and not the next. Yet those same users can log in fine if they switch back to their dialup system. Has anybody else found this and is there a magic tweak somewhere to help this work? Thanks, John Hinton
