02 Apr '10

Hi I wanted to download and install the net-snmp package. Usually on my other CentOS boxes i use the following command to do it: yum install net-snmp I was able to successfully install net-snmp on 4 of my CentOS boxes but not on one of them. It reports me the following error message: [root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install net-snmp Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Determining fastest mirrors Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base Other output that can be some use is : [root@localhost yum.repos.d]# ls CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Media.repo Can someone please let me know what the issue is ? and how to get it working ? Thanks Jatin

Release 6?
by MHR 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Since 5.5 is now out from Red Hat and most likely our amazing CentOS team has already jumped on that, is there any word on Release 6? IIRC it's already a year out of date (base was supposed to be Fedora 10), so I have to wonder. I didn't see anything jump out at me on the Red Hat site, so - anyone? Thanks. mhr

System and Server Status help ?
by Roland RoLaNd 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

dear all, i can't count the times that webmin came to my rescue. whenever i face a dead end in doing something through CLI i always turn to webmin.. though at the moment i wanna learn how to do things through cli instead of relying on webmin as i said.. especially "System and Server Status" theres a module that supports such a thing where i can set monitors that checks specific services or directories or... and reports the output.. so i wanna do this through command line.. any help ? i've checked crontab -l and it doesnt list anything that i've set in webmin so where is it and how to do it through cli ? _________________________________________________________________ Your E-mail and More On-the-Go.

Looking for an application that simplifies tracking installed packages.
by Yungwei Chen 01 Apr '10

Hi, As the number of hosts increases, it's getting harder to keep track of what packages have been installed on each host using yum or rpm. So I am wondering if there's an existing application that helps you keep track of what packages installed on each host. Thanks.

CUPS and virtual interfaces
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

I've got a server with multiple virtual interfaces. Now, I only want CUPS to advertise on *one* - eth0, not eth0:1 or eth0:gad.... Looking at the CUPS manual, and cuppsd.conf man page, I see BrowseAllow, but the entries are not clear enough for me to understand what they mean. (Yeah, I know the docs are better than they were - read ESR's rant about it from a few years ago.) Specifically, I *think* I'd like to use BrowseAllow @IF, but I can't figure out if that should be BrowseAllow @IF(eth0) or BrowseAllow @IF(hostname) Also, if it's interface name, and there are multiple virtual interfaces on eth0, and I use the first of the two lines, above, will that *not* also apply to the VIs on eth0? mark

Unable to get software using Yum
by Jatin Davey 01 Apr '10

01 Apr '10

Hi I am new to CentOS and been into Linux for about 3 months now. I first started off with fedora and also trying my hands on CentOS now. Basically i used yum to download softwares on the fedora box. I mainly require the snmp agent for my linux boxes so as to test my network management product. On some of the CentOS boxes the following command worked for me : yum install net-snmp it installed the snmp agent for me but on others i am finding it hard to install. Basically , this is what i get : [root@centos-64-xxx ~]# yum install net-snmp Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.nyi.net * updates: mirror.nyi.net * addons: centos.corenetworks.net * extras: centos.corenetworks.net ftp://mirror.nyi.net/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: [Errno ftp error] timed out Trying other mirror. http://centos.corenetworks.net/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/CentOS/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://ftp.lug.udel.edu/pub/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not found Trying other mirror. http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/CentOS/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://mirror.icpl.org/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://mirror.newnanutilities.org/pub/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.…: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://mirror.unl.edu/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. http://mirrors.bluehost.com/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror. base | 1.3 kB 00:00 http://www.cyberuse.com/centos/5.3/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno -1] Error importing repomd.xml for base: Damaged repomd.xml file Trying other mirror.
