That seems to have worked. One other question. If a program is already running on the remote machine and you want to move the display to the local machine, can that be done? i.e. I have Thunderbird already running on the remote machine, and would like to move it to the local machine. Would that work? Or would it be necessary to kill the remote process and re-start it with the tunneled X session? Thanks, Paul

ot: vlans and vmware
by Gordon McLellan 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Does anyone have VLAN tagging working from within a guest on vmware-server? I'm running a centos 4.5 guest on a centos 5 host with vmware server 1.04and I've tried creating vlans using both the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts method and just doing it from the cli via vconfig. Either way appears to work, the OS creates the vlans, but I think vmware's network adapter must be eating the tags or something, since the guest is not able to talk to the real vlan on the switch. On the host I setup vmnet3 to be bridged to eth1. I bring eth1 up on the host but don't configure it in anyway. Vmnet3 is configured as eth1 on the guest as well. If I create vlans on eth1 on the host, it is able to talk to corresponding vlans on the switch. I'm wondering if there's some trick to get it work or some configuration string needed in the vmx file? Right now I have the vlans setup on the host and then bridged to vmnetX adapters for the guests. But this is kind of messy since I have to take all my virtual machines down to change anything. Thanks! Gordon

Strange sound/browser problem on Centos5
by fred smith 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

I just did (the other day) a clean install of Centos 5 and am having a really weird problem that I never had before (on centos 4.5). when listening to nrk p2 (http://www.nrk.no/p2/) using Firefox, and when the small window for the player gets obscured by another window the sound stops playing. Move the obscuring window and it starts right up. I haven't yet been able to tell if it is paused, or if it is just silenced but still running. Anybody got any clues? -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

AW: [CentOS] CentOS 5 release for IBM z/Series?
by Nils.Reimann＠izb.de 10 Oct '07

10 Oct '07

Hi dag! Thx for your reply! So, there will be no release in the near future of centos 5 for Z? At the moment we got a realy small z/linux installation, but i love it. Keeping the TCO as low as we can was necessary to satisfy the decision-maker. So we decided to choos a free linux distribution, centos was a good decicion we thougt. (redhat / fedora was always my favorite flavor *g*) It would be great if we can give something to the community! Personaly i can't help very much cause i'm the only knowledge carrier here for z/linux, with anoter colleague, and so we havent much time. How is development going on for centos on z and how can we help so i can talk with my head. Thx for reading!

We definitely are looking for people to show their interest and to help out.

File retrieval from outside hangs, internally is okay, only Centos5 affected
by Bent Terp 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi! I have a really weird problem with some of my servers, namely all the ones running Centos5 When I try to download a file from the server to a machine outside our Cisco 6500 router/firewall, the download hangs about half the times (15 out of 40) when less than half a megabyte into the transfer (varied from 76 kb to 496 kb). One server has a portchannel (Cisco speak for ethernet bundle), others do not, some use e1000, some use broadcom, I've tried httpd and scp transfers, I've tried from three different clients, Here's the really annoying part: the problem only occurs when downloading from outside the firewall, not when transferring files internally in the serverroom! And the switch is the firewall is a modular chassis, so the data comes over the same backplane regardless. And there's 42 files in /proc/net/sys/ipv4 which differ between EL4 and Centos5, so I'm a little lost here Anybody got some ideas? with kind regards, Bent PS Crossposted from Centos Forum, in case sombody on the list, who doesn't read the forum, can help me

Intel G33 Compatibility for Centos Server
by Michael Rock 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Been running rock solid servers on Centos 3 and 4 for years but equipment is starting to die so it is time. I was thinking along the lines of an Intel Q6600 on an Asus P5K-VM mobo with the new G33 chipset utilizing SATA. Is anyone having success with this board or any of the G33 chipsets where I am not going to run into all kinds of install problems? I see these other threads of install problems with the new chipsets so are a bit leary of making the purchase without hearing of some success stories. Any recommendations? thx -- Mike ____________________________________________________________________________________ Tonight's top picks. What will you watch tonight?

IPV6 warnings/errors
by Steve Campbell 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

I have just installed my first CentOS 5 server. I run proftpd on the server and I am getting a lot of warnings about IPV6 things. I do not have ip6tables turned on, but figure there is something else I have not done properly. A few of the errors are like: Deprecated pam_stack module called from service "proftpd" pam_unix(proftpd:session): session opened for user steve by (uid=0) Deprecated pam_stack module called from service "proftpd" library2.cnpapers.com (::ffff:216.30.205.128[::ffff:216.30.205.128]) - error setting IPV6_V6ONLY: Protocol not available I also see, when I do an ifconfig, references to inet6 lines such as inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host for my loopback and similar lines for my eth devices. Am I in trouble and is there something I need to do? Thanks for any help. Steve Campbell

pam_ldap + nscd
by Felix Schwarz 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, I'd like to use nscd for passwd+group caching. pam_ldap is configured and works (e.g. 'id foo' returns the correct user id if foo is present in ldap). If I start nscd manually (not started by default), 'id foo' returns 'No such user'. As soon as I stop nscd, 'id foo' starts working again. I suspect nscd is only looking at /etc/passwd because 'id root' always works (root is present in /etc/passwd). This is on a CentOS 5 system. Disabling SELinux did not help. I did not attach any config files purposefully because I don't know where to look for the problem and attaching nsswitch.conf, ldap.conf etc. would result in a huge post. Nevertheless, I will consider any information needed to diagnose the problem although I suspect that this a very simple configuration problem. Thank you very much :-) fs

anaconda kernel parameter to load module
by Farkas Levente 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

hi, how can i add kernel parameters to anaconda to load a module? in a normal booting initrd contains an init script so i can modify it load a given module (after i put it into the initrd). but in case of installer the initrd contains a binary init so i can't modify it. in this case how can i define kernel param (eg: through isolinux.cfg) to load additional modules? suppose i've got an xfs partition on which the installer reside and i use lilo to load the kernel and initrd, but after that the kernel can't read anything from the partition since it's not load xfs. is there any way to load kernel modules in this case trough kernel params (ie. append)? thanks. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

firefox slow/unresponsive under KDE on CentOS 4
by Jaap Eldering 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, I'm a user of a CentOS 4.4 system at our department (personally I use Debian). I use KDE and when I run firefox, it sometimes tends to be very slow in response when clicking on links and especially when I click on the navigation bar to edit the url: it sometimes takes up to 2-3 seconds before firefox responds. Switching to Gnome completely solves the problem without any other changes. I've tried to install firefox directly from mozilla.com but that version exhibits exactly the same problems. Is this a known problem? I couldn't find anything about this by googling. Thanks, Jaap Eldering The version string from the CentOS installed firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070220 Firefox/2.0.0.2 The version string of the firefox I installed from mozilla.com: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7 uname -a: Linux stofschoten 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL #1 Fri Oct 6 06:02:37 CDT 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Tearing our hair out on this one. Trying to install CentOS 5 x86_64 on a Supermicro X7DVL-E with 2 Xeon L5320 quad core CPUs, 3Ware SATA RAID controller in a mirrored setup and 4 GB of memory. Installation crashes at random places while copying the files. We've run memtest86 for 24 hours without any errors, replaced the RAID controller, motherboard and disks, but still no luck. Any thoughts, hints or LARTs appreciated. --Chris

John R Pierce >> that sounds more like a desktop system, not really >> what I'd consider >> server grade. no ECC support, no redundant power >> supplies, etc etc. Going this route has served me just as well for the last 3 years and at a cost I can afford. This is actually a major step up from what I am running and should see better mysql performance. (pretty high CPU utilization currently) Although these old servers were cutting edge when I originally installed Centos the installs were pretty smooth. But since have had a few bad experiences with some other Asus Nvidia chipsets on install. So I am looking for some proven success with the G33 chipset so I do not end up with a board which going to be a pain on install. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Moody friends.

Xen crash
by Nicolas Sahlqvist 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, I'm new to this list and joined since I am volunteering as a tech admin for a non profit organization called CouchSurfing (.com) where we tried to move the web servers to Xen zones and this has proven quite unstable since the our defined zones tends to crash on a daily basis with the latest CentOS 5 Xen updates. The physical boxes have 2 quad core 1.6GHz Xeon CPU's and 4 GB RAM, there is currently only 1 domain on each box, configured with 2.2GB RAM. Domain 0: [root@nd10254 ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen xen-libs-3.0.3-25.0.4.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 xen-3.0.3-25.0.4.el5 Web1: [root@web1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep xen kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.8.el5 kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5 The Domain0 zone is indeed rock stable, while the Web1 etc. are crashing daily with the 2.6.18-8.1.14 Xen kernel and the stack trace we see after a few hours is as follows: BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#5! Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff802a76ad>] softlockup_tick+0xdb/0xed [<ffffffff8026ba66>] timer_interrupt+0x396/0x3f2 [<ffffffff80210a87>] handle_IRQ_event+0x2d/0x60 [<ffffffff802a79ec>] __do_IRQ+0xa4/0x105 [<ffffffff802699b3>] do_IRQ+0xe7/0xf5 [<ffffffff8038dde8>] evtchn_do_upcall+0x86/0xe0 [<ffffffff8025cc1a>] do_hypervisor_callback+0x1e/0x2c <EOI> [<ffffffff802063aa>] hypercall_page+0x3aa/0x1000 [<ffffffff802063aa>] hypercall_page+0x3aa/0x1000 [<ffffffff8026afe2>] raw_safe_halt+0x84/0xa8 [<ffffffff802684f8>] xen_idle+0x38/0x4a [<ffffffff80247bcd>] cpu_idle+0x97/0xba BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#7! Etc., etc etc, It does not crash the Xen zones directly, but clogs up the Xen web1 console etc. We did not see this when running the 2.6.18-8.1.8 Xen kernel, instead the Xen zones crashed less frequent with a out of memory problem as follows: Call Trace: [<ffffffff802aeefc>] out_of_memory+0x4e/0x1d3 [<ffffffff8020efe8>] __alloc_pages+0x229/0x2b2 [<ffffffff8023fd5b>] __lock_page+0x5e/0x64 [<ffffffff80232637>] read_swap_cache_async+0x42/0xd1 [<ffffffff802b32a2>] swapin_readahead+0x4e/0x77 [<ffffffff8020929d>] __handle_mm_fault+0xae3/0xf46 [<ffffffff80260709>] _spin_lock_irqsave+0x9/0x14 [<ffffffff80262fe8>] do_page_fault+0xe48/0x11dc [<ffffffff80207138>] kmem_cache_free+0x77/0xca [<ffffffff8025cb6f>] error_exit+0x0/0x6e We think the whole problem is how the kernel fails to handle resource cloging (to many interrupts, heavy CPU and memory usage in the defined zones etc.) from stubmbling on some fuzzy posts on the net, example: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.user/26617 Is this problem known to you or new, any ideas on howto resolve it?

Need advice on 3rd party repository
by Jesse Cantara 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Hello, I am looking for some advice on a way to update some packages to newer releases than are available in the standard CentOS repositories. Specifically, I am trying to update apache and PHP to conform to "Scanalert"'s "Hacker Safe" website security scan, and the required versions do not exist in the CentOS repositories. I'm using CentOS 5. I wish to stay within the realm of yum, in order to avoid RPM-dependency-heck which I have experienced before, trying to source random third party RPMs that never work out properly. I also wish to keep the system in a better state of maintenance by sticking to yum. It's just more organized (and easier) and will help keep things up to date in the future as well. Is there any other option than to go with a 3rd party repository to hopefully find later versions of apache and PHP? Does anybody have a recommended repository source? Thank you for any help and advice you can give, -Jesse Cantara

dbus can't send to audit system

I'm seeing this in /var/log/messages: Oct 7 20:46:25 centos dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC avc: received setenforce notice (enforcing=0) : exe="?" (sauid=81, hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=?) Some googling suggested this was due to a policy issue a year ago, but I'm seeing it with selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-30.el5. I've got a game server program (Enemy Territory Quake Wars 1.1) that fails to resolve a DNS entry unless I setenforce 0, and I'd like to find the audit entry that tells me why. Is this messages entry an indication that that auditing is broken?

3Ware 9550SX and latency/system responsiveness
by Simon Banton 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

Dear list, I thought I'd just share my experiences with this 3Ware card, and see if anyone might have any suggestions. System: Supermicro H8DA8 with 2 x Opteron 250 2.4GHz and 4GB RAM installed. 9550SX-8LP hosting 4x Seagate ST3250820SV 250GB in a RAID 1 plus 2 hot spare config. The array is properly initialized, write cache is on, as is queueing (and supported by the drives). StoreSave set to Protection. OS is CentOS 4.5 i386, minimal install, default partitioning as suggested by the installer (ext3, small /boot on /dev/sda1, remainder as / on LVM VolGroup with 2GB swap). Firmware from 3Ware codeset 9.4.1.2 in use, firmware/driver details: //serv1> /c0 show all /c0 Driver Version = 2.26.05.007 /c0 Model = 9550SX-8LP /c0 Memory Installed = 112MB /c0 Firmware Version = FE9X 3.08.02.005 /c0 Bios Version = BE9X 3.08.00.002 /c0 Monitor Version = BL9X 3.01.00.006 I initially noticed something odd while installing 4.4, that writing the inode tables took a longer time than I expected (I thought the installer had frozen) and the system overall felt sluggish when doing its first yum update, certainly more sluggish than I'd expect with a comparatively powerful machine and hardware RAID 1. I tried a few simple benchmarks (bonnie++, iozone, dd) and noticed up to 8 pdflush commands hanging about in uninterruptible sleep when writing to disk, along with kjournald and kswapd from time to time. Loadave during writing climbed considerably (up to >12) with 'ls' taking up to 30 seconds to give any output. I've tried CentOS 4.4, 4.5, RHEL AS 4 update 5 (just in case) and openSUSE 10.2 and they all show the same symptoms. Googling around makes me think that this may be related to queue depth, nr_requests and possibly VM params (the latter from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=121434#c275) These are the default settings: /sys/block/sda/device/queue_depth = 254 /sys/block/sda/queue/nr_requests = 8192 /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centisecs = 3000 /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio = 30 3Ware mentions elevator=deadline, blockdev --setra 16384 along with nr_requests=512 in their performance tuning doc - these alone seem to make no difference to the latency problem. Setting dirty_expire_centisecs = 1000 and dirty_ratio = 5 does indeed reduce the number of processes in 'b' state as reported by vmstat 1 during an iozone benchmark (./iozone -s 20480m -r 64 -i 0 -i 1 -t 1 -b filename.xls as per 3Ware's own tuning doc) but the problem is obviously still there, just mitigated somewhat. The comparison graphs are in a PDF here: http://community.novacaster.com/attach.pl/7411/482/iozone_vm_tweaks_xls.pdf Incidentally, the vmstat 1 output was directed to an NFS-mounted disk to avoid writing it to the arry during the actual testing. I've tried eliminating LVM from the equation, going to ext2 rather than ext3 and booting single-processor all to no useful effect. I've also tried benchmarking with different blocksizes from 512B to 1M in powers of 2 and the problem remains - many processes in uninterruptible sleep blocking other IO. I'm about to start downloading CentOS 5 to give it a go, and after that I might have to resort to seeing if WinXP has the same issue. My only real question is "where do I go from here?" I don't have enough specific tuning knowledge to know what else to look at. Thanks for any pointers. Simon

GFS-kernel module - Version Magic Error
by Manish Kathuria 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Are the RPMs for the latest GFS kernel module GFS-kernel-2.6.9-72.2.0.8 to be used with the version 2.6.9-55.0.9.EL available ? I tried to compile the Source RPMs available from the Red Hat site but the modules can't be loaded because of invalid module format arising from version magic issues. The syslog shows: node0 kernel: gfs: version magic '2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.2' should be '2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.4' node0 modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting gfs (/lib/modules/2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp/kernel/fs/gfs/gfs.ko): Invalid module format The error message is actually surprising since the Source RPM has been compiled on a system having gcc-3.4. To complicate matters the modinfo indicates vermagic: 2.6.9-55.0.9.ELsmp SMP 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.2 When are the CentOS builds expected for this module ? Thanks, Manish

Gnome panels
by fred smith 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Hi! Just installed Centos 5 (I've been running 4.x which was an upgrade from previous versions, for a long time), but this one was a fresh install. Now Gnome gives me the two panel configuration (one at top, one at bottom) but I prefer the single, larger panel at the bottom. Anyone know how to tweak Gnome to revert to the single-panel form?

New launcher in Gnome
by fred smith 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Hi! In Centos 5, when I add a launcher to the desktop, it doesn't allow me to choose an icon for the launcher. After creating it, right-click/properties also has no way to choose an icon. It seems to assign one itself, and the one i get looks like a small terminal window, or something. How can I pick the icon for a desktop launcher myself? My old Centos 4.5 installation allowed me to pick the icon. This seems to be a step backwards. Tks!

Slightly OT: Building latest ImageMagick on CentOS 3
by Bart Schaefer 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

I grabbed the latest ImageMagick.src.rpm (version 6.3.6, I believe) from imagemagic.org and verified that I can compile it by hand on CentOS 3. I then commented out all the BuildPrereq and BuildRequires lines and verified that "rpmbuild -bc ImageMagick.spec" behaved sensibly. However, when I try to run "rpmbuild -bb ImageMagick.spec" I get a failure not because of any compilation problems but because the PerlMagick got installed relative to the real root directory rather than relative to the temporary build root, so none of those files could be found when the final packaging step was done. Can anyone give me some quick instructions on how to get those files to install in the correct relative location? My spec file foo is a few years rusty.

near-realtime file system replication
by John R Pierce 07 Oct '07

07 Oct '07

Whats available for doing near-realtime master->slave file replication between two CentOS systems? Cronjobs running rsync won't cut it. Ideally, I'd like something that works like SLONY-I does for Postgres databases, where all file system block level transactions on the master get replicated to the 2nd system on a 'as fast as practical' basis (a second or two of lag is acceptable). If the slave is offline or connectivity is interrupted, these transactions should be journaled so they can be played back when things resume. I'm open to other approaches, so far I've found very little in this category... I briefly considered using LVM mirroring over iscsi to the slave, but A) this is synchronous, B) recovery from a service interruption would require remirroring the whole volume. I've been reading about GFS but am somewhat confused as to its capabilities. The examples given on redhat's pages seem to involve shared storage (SAN or whatever) and distributed cluster access, I don't need any of that, just simple master->slave one way asynchronous replication.

Asterisk

Is an RPM for Asterisk (the PBX system) available for CentOS 5? It looks like RPMforge is supposed to have one, as I can see dependent packages like asterisk-sounds, but the base package seems to be absent from the repository.

Duplicating My CentOS Install For Other Other Systems
by Antonio Dupont 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hello, I have a CentOS install that has updated packages, and different users with certain privileges and modified GNOME menus. When a user logs in they are very limited to what they can do. i.e. browse the internet, run some php scripts on the local MySQL database I have set and that's about it. I would like to take the stuff I setup and make it extremely easy for someone to duplicate the install with the same customizations on their own hardware with out having to answer any install questions and keeping the same security I have set up. My idea is to some how make a hybrid LiveCD/kickstart install. One where a non-technical user could put in the CD/DVD boot their system and have CentOS automatically installed with a predetermined partitioning scheme, security, users automatically created, packages, and etc. Essentially I want to take an image of my configured system and have it installed on another system with minimal input. I've done cloning and remimaging in the past to handle this, but now I won't have control of the hardware that CentOS will be installed on, so I want anaconda to take care of that. The only thing I can say to the user is that the computer has to be on the Red Hat Hardware compatibility list. I've searched the Internet for some suggestions, but have come up short. If you have any input or direction that you could help with, I am very appreciative. Thanks in advance. Antonio

Damaged rpm database?
by M. Fioretti 06 Oct '07

06 Oct '07

Hello, while doing some maintenance on a Centos 4.4 box, I ran rpm -qa --last and got: error: rpmdb: damaged header #91 retrieved -- skipping. ...lots of lines identical to the one above and finally: the_last_package_I_installed_yesterday.rpm all the other rpms in reverse installation order I've seen via google that this should mean there is a damaged rpm database and it should be rebuilt with one or two command, however: 1) how can I find out _why_ the damage happened? 2) what are the right command and options to restore the database? The examples I've found are 5+ years old, so I'm not really inclined to run them as they are. TIA, Marco

DNAT rule for vsftp --(PASSIVE FTP)

Hi all, I want to run vsftp behind a firewall.(i.e DMZ zone) . It is runnig as passive ftp. the theroy behind passive ftp is , - FTP server's port 21 from anywhere ( Client initiates connection) - FTP server's port 21 to ports > 1024 (Server responds to client's control port) - FTP server's ports > 1024 from anywhere (Client initiates data connection to random port specified by server) - FTP server's ports > 1024 to remote ports > 1024 (Server sends ACKs (and data) to client's data port) Then, How can I write DNAT rules. pls assume 1.2.3.4 is the ip of the internert interface. #DNAT from Internet to the box running VSFTP @ 192.168.100.3 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 21 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.3:21 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 -d 1.2.3.4 --dport 1024: -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.100.3 And also #connect to below ip (actual destination ip) with below ports,due to DNATing iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.100.3 --dport 21 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp -d 192.168.100.3 --dport 1024: -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT R u okay with the above 4 rules ?

[OT] DNS queries issue
by Rick Barnes 05 Oct '07

05 Oct '07

Hello, I have a 2 bind nameservers on my network (both running C3.9). Over the last 3 weeks, I've seen a significant increase in the amount of denied cache queries to DNS service and I'm wondering if I should be worried or if there's something I can do to resolve or prevent this. I show millions of lines like: Oct 4 11:49:30 dns1 named[878]: client 68.13.16.20#53535: query (cache) denied If I trim out those and the last message repeated lines, I go from a messages log of 1.8GB to 1.3MB but 2 weeks earlier my messages log for the week was only 339M. Googling for the query (cache) denied didn't seem find anything useful, that this is other name servers attempting to query my servers for info. Its this something I need to bear with in having a publically available DNS server with authoritative domains? Is there a way to suppress these messages from going to syslog and is it a bad idea to do so? There have been no configuration changes except to add 1 or 2 domains to the nameservers. Any help in understanding this would be great. Thanks, Rick

Internet threat management package
by J 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

... Looking for a recommendation for a commercial threat management package. ( Think antivirus / antispy / anti-rootkit -- all rolled into one engine ), similar to this product: http://usa.kaspersky.com/products_services/work-space-security.php, which currently only supports one kernel for FC6, and RHEL4, officially. Here's the background. Need to make a decision and investment for a hybrid linux/windows network, with a Samba file server running Centos5. Would like to invest a single product, rather than multiple products, especially since that implies that I'm not giving money to companies that only provide software for Windows. (or, supporting companies that provide software solutions for Linux, depending on how you look at it.) Not even sure if I have the right idea. I would assume that Linux clients are not completely invulnerable to virii, spyware, and rootkits, and that it would make sense, in a small corporate environment to guard against them, the same as Windows machines... but the lack of options seems to suggest otherwise? Anyone have any tips, advice, or recommendations? Thanks!! -- J.
