free space created during partitioning while installing CentOS5.5
by Ritika Garg 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

I installed CentOS5.5 on Dell Inspiron N5010. During partitioning, when I created swap = 6GB then additional 4MB free space was created and when I created ext3 for linux=217GB, then additional 7MB free space was created. Didn't understand why these 2 extra free spaces were created.

Sendmail - block mail based on recipient address?
by Sean Carolan 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Maybe someone can help me sort this out. I want to block outbound mail from my network based upon the recipient address. Internal servers should still be allowed to send emails, but not to a few specific addresses. I've tried creating some rules in /etc/mail/access but to no avail. Is it possible to do this?

Hello listmates, Has anyone had to capture the video feed off of a terminal (VGA)? If so would there be any recommendations as to what device would work best under Linux for that purpose? Thanks. Boris.

network interface up but no data
by Nat N 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi List, I am running a x86_64 Centos server, after a reboot the network has decided to not work.. this particular machine has 8 eth ports eth0-7. eth0 and eth3 were bonded (mode 1 ) after reboot the bond did not work. It came up OK but no data was passing through it. all other interfaces on the machine were working. I decided to remove the bond, so after removing the bond i was left with eth0 using the same IP as the bond used. however it still does the same thing, it starts up with no errors but i cannot even ping the default gateway, tcpdump shows nothing on the interface. I have made sure of the following * no iptables installed * kernel modules for the NIC are loaded with no errors * the bond kernel module is not installed / all bond configs have been removed Below is some info on the interface, it should be noted that all others are OK the only 2 that were having the issue are eth0 and eth3 (the ex-bonded ones) server1:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts# ip route | grep 172.18 172.18.16.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 172.18.16.1 default via 172.18.16.254 dev eth0 # ifconfig eth0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:24:49:C8:66:98 inet addr:172.18.16.1 Bcast:172.18.16.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:7223 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:463918 (453.0 KiB) Interrupt:226 Memory:dc000000-dc012800 If you look closely TX and RX are massively different, but I am not seeing anything on tcpdump even there is a large number of TX packets. Any ideas? Nathan

Nataraj, that worked fine, didn't need to --force it. Now I'm back to having two devices in md0 and two in md1, and they're the RIGHT two! :) Put the box in single-user mode to do the work, then after the array finished resyncing, rebooted and it came up with the right two md devices.

problem regarding rpmbuild : creating rpm for python files
by saurabh verma 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

HI people , I am not sure whether this is right mailing list for this question , but i tried subscribing to redhat rpm list , failed to do so . I'm facing a issue while creating RPM for python punjab http://code.stanziq.com/punjab/ I've created a spec file which contains the list of files to packaged http://pastie.org/1236027 And when i try to run rpmbuild -ba command on this spec file , rpmbuild tried to optimize the python byte coded files , which i can see from ( i guess macros ) " + /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile" , and fails after that . http://pastie.org/1236040 please help me about controlling this behaviour so that I can skip the "brp-python-bytecompile" section . Thanks in advance , Saurabh Verma
