Unpacking of archive failed??
by M. Fioretti 24 May '06

24 May '06

Greetings, I have just been given a VPS with a fresh, minimal Centos 4.2 installation. When I ran "yum update" it went on updating some tenths of packages and signalled this error: Updating : perl ####################### [24/88] Updating : rpm-python ####################### [25/88] Updating : MAKEDEV ####################### [26/88] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /dev/MAKEDEV: cpio: rename Updating : iputils ####################### [27/88] Updating : ruby ####################### [28/88] What does this exactly mean, and what is the safe/right thing to do? Thanks in advance, Marco -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server mclink.it Fedora Core 5 for low memory http://www.rule-project.org/ "Per quanto non siano leggeri i libri possiedono una proporzione grammi/minuti di intrattenimento che prevale agevolmente sugli stupefacenti."

Looking for Machine to locate in Osuosl
by Lance Davis 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hi, We aee looking to locate a machine in osuosl (www.osuosl.org) on Internet 2, to make syncs to our I2 mirrors faster. If anyone has a machine spare they would be willing to donate to the project we would be grateful. Donor would get listing on CentOS website. Alternatively any spare components that we could build a machine ourselves from would be appreciated. Spec not important - Celeron , P4 or better. Machine does need lots of drive space - or a nas/san array. Please reply off-list to donate(a)centos.org (unless you want to discuss here) Regards Lance -- uklinux.net - The ISP of choice for the discerning Linux user.

RE: [CentOS] iptables rules
by Andrew Elliott 23 May '06

23 May '06

Good morning, First I would recommend using different rules for your INPUT and FORWARD chains; it's 100 times easier to troubleshoot and can make things look a lot simpler. Second, I would refrain from posting any external ip addresses on a public forum. I'm not sure about your setup, but usually when you're creating rules such as these, it's a good idea to start off with a default policy of DROP for INPUT, OUTPUT and FORWARD. From a security perspective it's better to block everything and only allow what you're looking for. Anyways, for your rules, I would replace "-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth0 -s 82.201.195.123 -j ACCEPT" and "-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j REJECT" with: -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp -s ! 82.201.195.123 --dport 22 -j DROP This will drop everything on eth0 going to port 22 from everywhere except the ip address specified. However, it's still easy to spoof an ip address in order to get ssh access to this box. I would really recommend to set all your default policies to DROP though.

QVCS on Centos
by Marius Nicolaescu 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hello, I,installed last year qvcs on Centos 3.4 . Now I want to install on another machine and I don't know what version is the most stabile for qvcs. The last installation is working fine, but I didn't manage to resolve the autoresponder problem for name.lastname users. The accounts that had "." are not working with autoresponder. Thank you, Marius -- This message was scanned for spam and viruses by BitDefender. For more information please visit http://linux.bitdefender.com/

ISO-8601 and LOCALEs
by James B. Byrne 23 May '06

23 May '06

We would like to set the standard date and time display on our CentOS hosts to the format "yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss", where HH is the twenty-four hour clock. Does there exist a simple setting in Linux/CentOS that permits such a change for a specific LOCALE (in our case en_CA.UTF-8) or is it necessary to build a custom LOCALE LC_TIME file? If the latter case holds then can someone point me to a web site or other reference that provides somewhat more details on the process than that provided in the man pages?

Kernel errors, resulting in system crashes
by Henri Cook 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hi Guys, After a chat with some helpful people on Freenode I've included as much information as I can think to about this error, if you need anything else please don't hesitate to ask. I run a webserver (remotely administered, no graphical user interface that i know of - certainly not one running all the time) - in the past few days this error has started to occur, the system dies and needs manually rebooting after each occurence: ---------------- May 21 23:08:01 testmachine kernel: Page has mapping still set. This is a serious situation. However if you May 21 23:08:01 testmachine kernel: are using the NVidia binary only module please report this bug to ----------------- The machine runs CentOS 3 and has been for ~2 Years, a technician at the datacentre ran Memtest earlier today which returned no errors. Hardware wise it's an intel 2.53Ghz Celeron, 1.5GB RAM I would really appreciate any help! Henri
