CentOS-2 update 5
by John Newbigin 18 Aug '04

18 Aug '04

CentOS-2 update 5 is about to be released. As of update 5, Netscape 4.8 will be removed from the distribution. The currently shipped version of Netscape 4.8 has security flaws and should not be used. Users of CentOS-2 should uninstall the Netscape packages and switch to using mozilla. For more information see RHSA-2004:429-01 Also, in order to easily identify packages which have been modified for CentOS-2, the release suffix .c2.release will be appended to the existing release. All packages which currently are missing this suffix will be reissued with the new suffix. The suffix release will always start at 1 and be incremented if a package needs to be reissues with only centos changes. When the original release is increased, the centos release will start again at 1. This is part of a new automated procedure which should result in reproducible modifications which will speed up the release of errata for modified packages and cut down on errors in the modification process.

ssh problems

Here's another one for ya, I can ssh into my server from workstationB but when I try to ssh into workstationB from my server I get this error message. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @ @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY! Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)! It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed. The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is 55:2e:6a:d8:08:26:7f:cd:f4:1d:36:8f:cf:85:3d:1a. Please contact your system administrator. Add correct host key in /home/diadicic/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message. Offending key in /home/diadicic/.ssh/known_hosts:2 RSA host key for 172.16.12.200 has changed and you have requested strict checking. Host key verification failed.

centos31 anaconda bug with lvm lvcreate?
by sophana 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

Hi I just tried to install centos3.1 from the 3cd. I removed all existing partitions and made a custom partitionning: a /boot partition /dev/hda1 and a lvm physical volume for the rest: /dev/hda2 in the lvm volume group I placed all other partitions including root (/) The anaconda crashed because of an error in lvcreate for the root partition. Is there a problem with that? I did reboot and restarted with then same config and it is now installing. I have saved the debug info on a floppy if anyone interested. Thanks Sophana

Re: migration center
by Rick Graves 13 Aug '04

13 Aug '04

John, > I started a web page to collect my ideas > http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/centos-2/migration.htm I looked at the page collecting your ideas. That is a good start, and a good looking web page. Your wizard idea is fancier than what I had in mind. I was thinking of a table listing the starting points and in the left column and the sensible options in the right column. Then step by step instructions for each supported migration path. (I can imagine writing step by step instructions by actually doing it and taking notes as I go.) I agree that we do not have to rush it. On the other hand, I do not know what the schedule for the new web site will be. As for the migration center content (plain text type content), I suggest we move at our own pace, and when we are ready, either put the content in the existing site or in the new site, whichever is available. When cAos moves to the new site, much if the text will get copied from the old site and pasted into the new site anyway. Since I do not know anything about the schedule for the new site, I can imagine that it could take more time than doing a useful migration center. I simply suggest that we do not let any potential problems in doing a whole new web site delay putting out migration information that people could be using right now. > Each procedure could have a forum where people can contribute feedback, like they do with the php manual. This would be best. > Another thing I might have a play with is a family tree. That might help people see the differences between versions. That is another good suggestion. It could go in the FAQ explaining the difference between cAos and CentOS. Rick

John, I did not hear back from you right away. Maybe doing all the combinations is too big a job for one person. It might work if we split them up. I could do these two: RedHat 9 -> reinstall CentOS-3.1 RedHat 9 -> live update to CentOS-3.1 I am volunteering for these because I already have RedHat 9 and CentOS-3.1 CD's. The only rub is on Saturday I go on vacation, and at the end of August I will be back to where I have my computer junk. I could do those two in early September.

Re: more about messing around with iptables
by Rick Graves 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Hey scty Library, > I am messing around with iptables, trying to learn how it works so that I can build my self a router/firewall and mabey a VPN. Oops! I forgot about that. The LinWiz iptables wizards cannot help you, a router/firewall/VPN application is too complicated for them. If you do not care about reinventing the wheel, then proceed with your learning experience. If you just want a router/firewall/VPN, look at Smoothwall. A mountain of effort and expertise has been put into that dedicated firewall distribution, and I suspect there is NO WAY anything you could do on your own could come close. But if your purpose is to have a learning experience, then you are on the right track.

Hey scty Library, I forget your name. I do not have an answer for your question exactly. However, I think I have a solution to the overall problem, and it is here: http://www.lowth.com/LinWiz/1.09/ I use the wizards to create my iptables files. I have a couple of basic files that I use, and then I tweek the appropriate one after copying it to a new install. For people who want a solution fast, the two wizards are great. I hope this helps.

suggestions for CentOS
by dan1 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

Hi to all, I have some suggestions to make about the CentOS 3. I think that this would be great to include many questions we have on this mailing list into the FAQs of the centOS site. They are so poor, that we feel like nothing is happening for this centos 3, and in fact this seems to be a very good distribution.. too sad.. Probably that finding a way to access the mailing list archive through a search for non-subscribers would help a lot new users, and motivate them. I also had contact with the switch.ch mirror site of Switzerland (1Gbit/s), and they would be ready to mirror your distribution if it would become more known. So there should not be any bandwidth problems, and I wish that CentOS 3 will become known from the others. It's so strange, nobody knows about it.. A better documentation on your site would perhaps also help a bit, and motivate people to use it. Especially making a bigger difference on the site between cAos and CentOS 3 would be great (the way the site is designed). I also regret to not find any information on google groups about that. It's so sad.. Isn't it possible to post your e-mails to google groups (open a new channel for centos, etc..) ? In all cases, thank you for all, I'm very pleased to use CentOS 3 and try to make it known by others ! Hope this will help.. Daniel

Re: migration center

John, Would you like to take a first crack at the text for the migration center? You could then run it by this group. If we get something that is good enough not to get shot down here, I will work it into the web site. If we decide to go with separate sites, the text could just be copied over, so there would be no wasted effort.

I think another thing we should have is a 'migration centre' which can help people decide what product and procedure to use to upgrade from various distros. Something along the lines of: RedHat 7.2 -> reinstall with CentOS-2 -> reinstall with CentOS-3.1 -> reinstall with cAos -> live update to CentOS-2 RedHat 9 -> reinstall CentOS-3.1 -> live update to CentOS-3.1 RHEL 2.1 -> live update to CentOS-2 RHEL 3 -> live update to CentOS-3 And I am sure there are more.

Re: Flash plugin for CentOS

Nels, > I've got an easier solution. Excellent! Your solution is absolutely easier, and IT WORKS! After following your instructions, "This Land" by the JibJab brothers played without a hitch. With your permission, I will write up an FAQ and give you the credit. If anyone has not seen "This Land" yet, you owe it to yourself to take a look: http://www.jibjab.com/ Next I need java. When I go to the official US time site, http://www.time.gov/, and go to a time zone, I want to see the seconds go by (without having to click to refresh). Can you help with that as well? Perhaps one FAQ could cover both the Flash plugin and Java.

rpm --rebuild problem
by dan1 11 Aug '04

11 Aug '04

Hi to all. I'm having a problem with the rpm command. I am used to recompile a source rpm with the following command: rpm --rebuild sympa-4.1.2-8.src.rpm The problem is that the result is as following: --rebuild: unknown option I tried to rebuild the rpm database, with --rebuilddb, but nothing does. I have installed CentOS 3.1 (latest) and I also have updated the rpm package to the version number: rpm-4.2.2-0.14 I have of course installed or updated the rpm-build, rpm-devel, rpm-python. I thought that it was this version of rpm, so I downgraded the version to : rpm-4.2.1-4.4 (also all other rpm packages). But problem is the same. Does anybody know something about that ? Else, can somebody tell me if he was able to use the rpm --rebuild option on CentOS 3.1 ? Or should I ask this question on the newsgroup linux.redhat.rpm (they might not be happy if I'm a CentOS user..) ? Thanks you in advance, Daniel

Shockwave Flash player for CentOS
by Rick Graves 10 Aug '04

10 Aug '04

Hey, I am using CentOS-3 as a desktop distribution. With the exception of fewer red hats and some different logos, it looks exactly like RedHat 9 to me. The problem is some web sites do not work right, as there is no Shockwave Flash player and Java support seems to be a problem. For some web sites, I have to used Windows. I prefer not to download and install something that YUM could not help keep up to date. If I volunteered to be the "package maintainer", could browser enhancements be included in the "extras"? I am volunteering to be the package maintainer in part because I expect I would not actually have to do any package maintenance. Micromedia has a download for Mozilla under Linux, http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/ and they say they support it for RedHat. I am hoping I will find a similar solution for Java. What do you say? Thanks, Rick Graves

Hi all, Lance got married and is a little distracted, at the moment. :) so I built sox, samba and ipsec-tools for centos. They're available here: http://linux.duke.edu/centos/samba/ - RHSA-2004:259-23 http://linux.duke.edu/centos/sox/ - RHSA-2004:409-05 http://linux.duke.edu/centos/ipsec-tools/ - RHSA-2004:308-06 These are all for Centos-3 They're signed with my gpg key. As soon as I can get my key in place I'll see if I can upload them for the primary mirror. thanks, -sv

How to get 3Ware 9500S controller card working in CentOS 3.1?
by Sean Staats 18 Jul '04

18 Jul '04

My goal is to be able to install to the drive array on the 3Ware controller card. 3Ware does provide a RH WS 3 driver that I've tried to use; however, the RH Enterprise 3 WS driver doesn't work since that kernel is older than the CentOS-3.1 install kernel. I'm trying to create a centOS-3.1 installation driver disk for the 3ware 9500S card; however, I'm not having much luck. I've compiled the drivers on a stock centOS 3.1 install and created a modules.cgz file (using find . -depth | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -c > ../modules.cgz) with the newly-compiled driver modules. Here are the contents of the modules.cgz file I created: 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0BOOT/i386/3w-9xxx.o 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0hugemem/i386/3w-9xxx.o 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0/i386/3w-9xxx.o 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0smp/i386/3w-9xxx.o I've also tried the above without the 'i386' subdirectory. The stock install kernel version is 2.4.21-9.0.1.EL.c0. That IS what I should use for the modules directory name right? I then created a driver disk with the following files: modinfo modules.cgz modules.dep pcitable rhdd-6.1 src When I boot the install CD, I type: "linux dd". I then tell the installer that the drivers are on fd0. The installer reads the disk, but doesn't find the driver and gives me this message: "No devices of the appropriate type were found on this driver disk. Would you like to manually select the driver, continue anyway, or load another driver disk?" Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Am I going about this the hard way? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! -Sean
