some things missing from addons directory
by Joe Pruett 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

i was just trying to update a rh9 box to centos 3.4 and ran into a number of issues that i finally realized would be solved by pointing to the addons area. but there are still some things that crop up. one of them is doxygen-doxywizard. there is a new version of doxygen in the 3.4 base, but the addons has an older version, so the yum upgrade gets confused. i don't see php-manual in the addons directory at all, so that is probably not the same issue. with yum is there a way we could have a list of old packages like php-manual that just don't exist anymore and have it uninstall it? for now, i am just tracking down things and removing packages that can't be upgraded. having it all happen automatically would be nice :-).

swatch 3.1.1 & CentOS 3.4
by Barry L. Kline 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

I have need of the functionality of the "swatch" utility. Prior to the actual installation of swatch I used perl2rpm to create RPMs for the PERL modules not provided in CentOS. I got a clean 'make test' from the package so I know that everything is configured properly. The bottom line is that the utility appears to be broken. I can downgrade to version 3.0.8, which appears to work properly, but that version lacks the "threshold" feature that I need. My questions are thus: 1) Is anyone successfully using swatch 3.1.1 with CentOS? If so, what incantation did you need do to make it function properly? 2) Is there another product that you use that provides similar capabilities? For reference, the project page is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/swatch/ TIA, Barry

Bind Issues
by John Hinton 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

I'm running bind in a chroot environment. It seems that since the Redhat snafu which wrecked bind (yes, I had caching nameserver running as well but not anymore) I have been having problem with my slave nameservers retrieving updates from the master. Looking at the zone records, some are owned by root, some are owned by named. I'm now confused as to what the ownership should be and what permissions should be assigned. Could someone shed some light on this? Thanks, John Hinton

updating ALSA
by first last 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

Hi, I have installed CentOS 4 beta and everything works apart from the sound. Searching online I have found that Fedora Core 3 requires upgrading ALSA to the very latest version for sound to work on this laptop, that probaly means that I need to upgrade ALSA. Is there anytwhere I can get updates RPMs/SRPMs or do I have to compile the updates? AFAIK alsa is now part of the kernel, will this cause much trouble for future upgrades? Talking about kernels, is it possible to update the kernel to 2.6 on CentOS 3 without breaking much? Thanks Gabriel ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

RE: [Centos] Bind Issues
by Foster, Mark 07 Feb '05

Hi John. Normally in the redhat setup the named process runs as the named user. This can be seen by running `ps -aux | egrep '[n]amed'` named 1661 0.0 0.2 40108 4836 ? S Jan31 0:25 /usr/sbin/named -u named -t /jail/named As you can see from the first column the user is named. Also the -u flag indicates the same. So if any of your slave zone files are owned by root they won't be writable by named. I recommend you chown those zone files to be owned by named user. -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)caosity.org [mailto:centos-bounces@caosity.org] On Behalf Of John Hinton Sent: Monday, February 07, 2005 8:43 AM To: CentOS(a)caosity.org Subject: [Centos] Bind Issues I'm running bind in a chroot environment.
