This was our experience as well; changing userids between clam and clamav between updates caused us a lot of avoidable headaches. We switched to epel for clamav because of that one issue. Otherwise we have been very pleased with rpmforge. It will prove a great loss if there is a serious possibility that this resource might fade away. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Centos 6.4, bnx2 in promiscuous mode does not see packets
by Giles Coochey 03 Jul '13

03 Jul '13

Hi, I hope someone can help me, I cannot seem to get a system's ethernet interface to correctly work in promiscuous mode... I have a Centos 6.4 system with 2 bnx2 interfaces on it. I have set up eth1 in promiscuous mode and am sending traffic to it using the port mirroring configuration on a Nortel 3510-24T switch. The switch reports that it is sending a fair amount of traffic to the mirror port. However, within Centos 6.4, I only see broadcast traffic from the switch: [root@host eth1]# ifconfig eth1 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:19:B9:E2:30:AE UP BROADCAST RUNNING PROMISC MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:75 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:4800 (4.6 KiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) I have tried various options configuring eth1 via /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1 Currently it looks like this: DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static HWADDR=00:19:B9:E2:30:AE #NM_CONTROLLED=no ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet #UUID="e753ec9b-fc35-4460-bcd1-87f26f8d1553" IPV6INIT=no USERCTL=no PROMISC=yes I have also tried to manually put the interface in promiscuous mode (as I think PROMISC=yes is deprecated): ifconfig eth1 promisc It shows as being in promiscuous mode via ifconfig...

The HP3000 series of MPE/iX mini computers ran on exactly the same hardware as the HP9000 HP-UX systems, but were priced considerably higher than their HP9000 equivalents. However, one could not simply run MPE/iX on the HP9000 hardware. One had to pay HPQ to come in and run a system utility that reset a flag on the processor to enable that. On the other hand, one could run HP-UX on the HP3000 hardware without requiring any changes. A similar thing applied to processor speeds. HPQ would typically release a family of HP3000/HP9000 processors that differed only in speed. The trick was all the processors in the family were identical other than the firmware settings. The processing speed was throttled by firmware switches that one could pay HPQ to turn off in order to increase usable processor cycles. As far as I could ever discover the clock speed was constant so one paid the same for the electricity and a/c whether one had the lowest or the highest processor speed. Mind you, we no longer deal with HPQ or employ any of their hardware because of these and similar experiences. In fact, HPQ's business practices are what turned our firm over to FOSS and commodity hardware in the first instance (after using HPQ exclusively for 20+ years). Poisoning the well so to speak for any other name brand vendor. Nice gear; company, not so much. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

Re: [CentOS] Yum hangs while doing anything (FIXED)

But then I just solved the yum problem, upgraded several apps (including firefox) and the new firefox is working now. All I did was put the original /var/lib/rpm/Packages file back where it was. (If you read from a post from earlier today, I mv'd off this file and then ran rpm --rebuild to recreate it. This fixed the problem with yum hanging, but then I was getting crazy error messages from yum and from rpm.) Something told me to put the original Packages file back where it was, I did, and now yum works again. And the just-upgraded firefox works too. Thanks to you and everyone else who responded. I have to say, I still don't know what caused the problem in the first place. But sometimes things just have to be a mystery.
