A consistent set of expectations does wonders for debugging odd-ball occurrences. Why learn the idiosyncrasies of two distros when one suffices? Just start with a minimal CentOS install on your router/gateway and add only the packages that you know that you need. Any critical omission will evidence itself in short order and can be added then; or the source of the need removed as circumstance warrants. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.

Rather than doing double routing, I connect one of the WiFi's LAN connections via a switch to my Router via a switch, leaving the WiFi Router's WAN conection unused. That way, my gateway (and not the WiFi router) is the DHCP server, and can enforce whatever firewall rules I want to apply. No need to give up your guest WiFi if you stick with a Centos gateway.

Old and new package version numbers during RPM update
by Anand Buddhdev 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Hi CentOS folk, In an RPM post-install script, is it possible to know the previous version number, and the new version number of a package if it's an update? I need to know this, because for a certain package, if updating from version 1.x to 2.x, I need to run a program to convert the config file of the package from version 1.x format to version 2.x format. I've looked at SPEC file documentation, but haven't found anything relevant. Regards, Anand

Using a CentOS 6 Machine as a gateway/router/home server
by Max Pyziur 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Greetings, I'm rebuilding a machine to function as a gateway/router to Verizon DSL. It has two NICs eth0 and eth1 (static set to 192.168.1.1). eth0 connects to the DSL modem. I've setup Verizon DSL usine pppoe-setup, and it works. I can connect from home machines to the server (192.168.1.1); while logged in to the server, I can connect to both the internet, and the home machines. But ... I can't connect from the home machines directly to the Internet. I have set net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf I haven't setup the firewall yet (dangerous, I know) until I get the connectivity working. I'm obviously overlooking some other configuration settings required for machines inside the network being able to connect through the gateway/router. Thanks for any advice in advance.

/boot on a separate partition?
by Chris Murphy 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Timothy Murphy gayleard at eircom.net Tue Jun 23 12:49:08 UTC 2015 > > Do most people today have /boot on a separate partition, > or do they (you) have it on the / partition ? Different distros have different defaults. There's no actual right or wrong here. Pretty much anything you can think of can be made to work. Jonathan Billings billings at negate.org Tue Jun 23 13:28:18 UTC 2015 >Not only do I have a /boot partition, but I have a /boot/efi partition. It's bad design. First, it's a nested mount: file system A on /, and file system B on /boot, and file system C on /boot/efi. Therefore the mount process must make sure they're mounted in that order, or there's failure. Second, there is no good reason for the EFI System partition to ever be mounted; and multiple reasons to not ever mount it (Windows and OS X never mount the EFI System partition but somehow all the Linux distros are obsessed with mounting things that don't need mounting). Eventually systemd will become smarter and handle on-demand dynamic mount and umount, including the ESP so this will get better but even better would be not ever mounting it in the first place. > I probably could get away without using the /boot partition, but I've > been experimenting with btrfs and snapshots and it makes sense to keep > /boot as an ext4 filesystem. I disagree, yet I'm curious what example you have that this makes sense. This ext4 /boot is unique to F/C/RH's dependency on grubby which doesn't grok Btrfs subvolumes, and therefore kernel updates don't get written to grub.cfg properly if /boot is on a Btrfs subvolume. GRUB, including grub2-mkconfig figures out subvolumes just fine. It's specifically a limitation of RH distros. Ubuntu and openSUSE don't have this problem. >I suspect with the move to XFS it might be a good idea to keep an ext4 /boot too. There's no advantage to it being ext4. The default installation for Fedora 22 Server, CentOS/RHEL 7 is /boot on XFS, and / on a separate XFS, and /home on a separate XFS. Just like with ext4, except with XFS. -- Chris Murphy

Since the latest update (may wrap here), xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-26.el6.centos.0.1.x86_64 Sat 20 Jun 2015 04:16:01 PM EDT xorg-x11-server-common-1.15.0-26.el6.centos.0.1.x86_64 Sat 20 Jun 2015 04:15:58 PM EDT x264-0.0.0-0.4.20101111.el6.rf.x86_64 Wed 19 Nov 2014 04:56:05 PM EST xvidcore-1.2.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64 Wed 19 Nov 2014 04:55:49 PM EST . . . drop a lot of older stable stuff ... Xorg is competing heavily with FF for top hog on my system. In FF I understand because I had multiple windows (6 desktops) with many tabs. I know this would theoretically increase Xorg work as well but prior to this update I seldom saw it near the top of "top" PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4055 hardtolo 20 0 2165m 945m 49m R 95.9 12.0 3724:26 firefox 3119 root 20 0 276m 121m 34m S 34.0 1.6 2228:58 Xorg 15645 hardtolo 20 0 6163m 350m 26m S 10.6 4.5 181:50.51 java 5663 hardtolo 20 0 1557m 202m 24m S 9.6 2.6 294:53.69 plugin-containe 27871 hardtolo 20 0 1957m 520m 88m S 7.6 6.6 456:54.44 soffice.bin 18245 hardtolo 20 0 6228m 356m 26m S 7.3 4.5 112:09.55 java 14349 hardtolo 20 0 6228m 345m 26m S 5.3 4.4 143:59.97 java 9164 root 20 0 197m 51m 12m S 3.3 0.7 14:14.06 Xorg 4152 hardtolo 20 0 915m 28m 20m S 1.7 0.4 182:27.00 knotify4 27 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 1.0 0.0 28:58.96 events/0 12581 wild-bil 20 0 302m 14m 9.9m S 1.0 0.2 0:02.43 gnome-terminal 26741 hardtolo 20 0 15300 1420 892 S 1.0 0.0 0:02.47 top Anyone else pound the crap out of a desktop with FF and see Xorg getting "fat"? TIA for any clues or response. Bill
