Maintainers and security updates
by Michael Rock 09 Sep '04

09 Sep '04

Hi, can someone tell how many are behind maintaining the site and converting security and regular RHEL fixes for Centos-3? I see the last round of security updates for RHEL were turned out in a day which is impressive. Trying to get an idea if Centos has alot of community support and being maintained by more than one person. I am not confident enough yet in building my own updates. I am another RH 7.1/8.0 admin that labored over the decision to go with Fedora Legacy 6 months for these servers only to find mailings to stop without any notice. Since it seemed awfully quiet for a time I checked their website and found support suspended for these version due to lack of community involvement. So doing a little more investigating this time to see if the community is really into the project before settling down with a solution. thx __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Updates? Last samba package from RedHat? Cd images for update 3?
by Alex Georgiev 08 Sep '04

08 Sep '04

Dear Centos-3 Maintainers, there are several new (september) packages from redhat for RHEL3 especially https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2004-430.html (samba 3.0.6). Perhaps these new packages are not security updates, but .... I am having problems printing in current samba-3.0.4-6.3E which I believe shall be resolved with the new samba. Do you guys intend to rebuild last redhat updates, or I should do it on my own? Also, do you intend to make new CD images with the new RHEL update 3? This will make installing centos on SATA machines possible! Thank you very much for your efforts and work. Best regards, A. Georgiev

Just curious, haven't seen much discussion on this or anything in the news page. Is U3 being built yet ? Might we expect to see a test release sometime soon ? -- Beau Henderson JustManaged.com - Affordable Linux Administration & Security Services.

OT: firewalls
by donavan nelson 07 Sep '04

07 Sep '04

What is everyone using for a firewall? I'm currently using www.astaro.com but their recent releases have soured me on ASL as a practical solution on my hardware (1.2MHz Athlon, 30G, and 256M). I only have 4 computers going through the firewall wall but it's consistently at 50% cpu load. There is very little network traffic (<10k bits per second on the wan connection, < 40k bits per second between other internal lans (I have 4 internal lans and a wan)) Basically I'm using it for: packet filtering, masq, port forwarding, IDS, dns proxy (only if my internal DNS servers have failed) smtp proxy smtp virus protection smtp spam protection http proxy (caching) http virus protection http url monitoring (via Cobain) the firewall also monitors a bunch of statistics, etc. I'm looking for something that is installed, configured and runs. I don't want to be tweaking this parameter of postfix, that parameter of the smtp virus protection, etc. I want something that just works that I don't need to play with except for new rules, etc. I'll pay a reasonable price for a package that I can test to verify suitable performance (I'm not a commercial operation, this is just for my toys). At the moment, I'm looking at Gibraltar. But the community seems small. I haven't downloaded it yet but I'm considering it an option for this round of firewall evaluation. Any other suggestions for inclusion? BTW, anything like smoothwall that allows wide open outbound connections and doesn't support a box with 5 network cards off the CD is not a viable candidate. Thanks much all, .dn

Lance, > We need to change the instructions for becoming a > mirror as it wont be > possible to populate their mirror before telling us > about it , we will > need to request an access ip address first. I updated the "notes for mirrors" page. I added a new line, about 5 paragraphs down from the top. I do not fully understand what you wrote, so I followed your wording as closely as I could. Please take a look, and let me know if my wording needs clarification. Rick
