I just tested and confirmed it. Some other notes: with the "mlapier(a)192.168.15.105" you'll, by default, be "in" the home directory of mlapier on the remote machine. So you don't need the "...:/home/mlapier/" pathing. Also, if you are in your (mlapier) home directory on the new machine when you are doing this you again won't need the pathing. So, I think you should be able to do just: scp -pr mlapier@192.168.15.105:.thunderbird . or at most: scp -pr mlapier@192.168.15.105:.thunderbird /home/mlapier/. If, per chance, you wanted to change the directory name on the transfer you'd need to specify it, rather than just the ".", otherwise the "." will simply put directory on the target machine with the same name as the original. - Richard

How to search the mail archive

Hey All, I've seen references to searching the mail archive. How exactly does one perform such a search? Let's say I want to search the mail archive for references to the scp command. How do I do that? -- _ °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registered Linux user No #267004 https://linuxcounter.net/ ****

Kickstart with multiple eth devices
by Ashley M. Kirchner 27 Feb '15

27 Feb '15

I have a Dell server that has two built-in ethernet devices. When I kickstart the machine, they are correctly identified as eth0 and eth1 (correctly meaning they correspond to the physical device ports 1 and 2). I need a third one and want that to come up as eth2. After adding the hardware, kickstart now fails because for some reason it goes through a rename process where it makes the newly added card eth1 (or eth0, I forgot). Is there a way to stop this rename process so kickstart correctly uses the physical hardware the way they are, meaning physical port 1 = eth0, port 2 = eth1, and the additional ethernet card then becomes eth2? Should I be using the device's MAC address when I set the 'network' option in the kickstart file? So instead of 'network --device=eth0' I make it 'network -device=aa;bb:cc:dd:eee:ff' ?

Re: [CentOS] Kickstart with multiple eth devices
by Ashley M. Kirchner 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

And after picking this back up this morning .... still no dice. I have now blacklisted the one module that would enumerate the add-in ethernet port so that is no longer an issue during the kickstart process, however the following is now happening: - kickstart completes successfully using the machine's physical port 2 (or eth1) which is on a subnet with DHCP - when the system reboots, it brings up port 1 (eth0) with the correct static IP information, HOWEVER ... - port 2 (eth1) is NOT configured properly. When I look at it's ifcfg-eth1 file, its bootproto is set to none when it should be set to dhcp. - the add-in card has not been enumerated, in fact the system doesn't even know it's there (dmesg has no mention of it and no module loaded) So for port 2 (eth1), the kickstart file has it configured as a dhcp interface, so why when the system reboots it comes up with bootproto=none? On the other hand, port 1 (eth0) does come up with the static information as it should - that info is also set in the kickstart file. Baffled ... On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 4:46 PM, Ashley M.

move a disk to another machine
by Chuck Campbell 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

I have a centos 6.6 laptop which is having trouble (intermittent boot failures, or more rightly so, multiple failures, intermittent booting). The laptop is running selinux. I pulled the second internal disk out to get my data off of it. I plugged it into my centos 5.x machine and mounted it. I was able to do a dir listing, but whrn I tried to cd into any of the directories, I get a bunch of AVC denials, and I can't see any files. The contos 5.x machine is selinux enforcing, and so is the centos 6.x box. The files are all owned by me, and have the same uid/gid on both boxes. What is the right way to do this? Meanwhile, I put it back into the laptop, and kept attempting to boot the machine, until I got lucky and it came up. I was able to rsync the data off the drive, so this isn't a crisis, just a learning moment. thanks, -chuck --

Easy way to strip down CentOS?
by Niki Kovacs 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hi, I wonder if there's an easy way to strip down an installation to the bare minimum, e. g. the packages you get when you select "minimum installation". In Slackware, the bone-headed package manager slackpkg has a few nice options, among which 'slackpkg clean-system', which removes all third-party packages in one single operation, or 'slackpkg remove <package_group>', which does exactly that. I know CentOS has yum groupinstall/groupremove etc. but as far as I can tell, if I only have a handful of packages from a package group installed, yum grouplist lists the group as not installed, so there's not an easy way to tell. You may wonder why I want to do this. I have CentOS installed on some sandbox machines here, and I like to fiddle with different desktops and setups just for the sake of experimenting.

CentOS 7, systemd and firewall-cmd
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 26 Feb '15

I'm having issues with an rsyncd. systemctl status rsyncd shows it running rsyncd.service - fast remote file copy program daemon Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/rsyncd.service; enabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2015-02-25 10:57:02 EST; 4h 43min ago Main PID: 31672 (rsync) CGroup: /system.slice/rsyncd.service `-31672 /usr/bin/rsync --daemon --no-detach But firewall-cmd --list-all public (default, active) interfaces: em1 em2 sources: services: dhcpv6-client mountd nfs rpc-bind samba ssh ports: 631/udp 22/tcp masquerade: no forward-ports: icmp-blocks: rich rules: And yet if I do iptables-save, it shows 873 open. a) which should I believe, firewall-cmd or iptables-save? b) why does firewall-cmd not show 837 open? c) I've been googling, and know that I can tell firewall-cmd to open the port, but if there's a "correct" way, presumably one that will show rsyncd on the services line, I'd like to do it that way. Clues? mark
