yum-updatesd not working on CentOS 5.2
by Santi Saez 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Dear Srs, yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 appears that it's not working on freshly installed CentOS 5.2, using: # rpm -qa "yum*" yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-2.el5 yum-updatesd-0.9-2.el5 yum-3.2.8-9.el5.centos.2.1 yum-fastestmirror-1.1.10-9.el5.centos I see some bugs ([1], [2] and [3]) in the bug tracker, and more info related to other distros like Fedora, etc.. with the same problem. yum-updatesd does not automatically update in CentOS 5.2, is there any patch for this? anyone using this daemon for Yum? This is the configuration file: # grep -v "#" /etc/yum/yum-updatesd.conf [main] run_interval = 60 updaterefresh = 60 emit_via = email email_to = santi(a)example.com email_from = centos(a)example.com do_update = yes do_download = yes do_download_deps = yes Regards, [1] http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2039 [2] http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2592 [3] http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2560 -- Santi Saez

How Do I Get Info About New RPMs in Major REPOs
by John Thomas 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

I would like to know about new software (rpms) with a general description as they become available in the major repos. Is there a way to get an RSS feed? Currently, I run "yum --enablerepo=* list recent" in cron.daily, but it does not provide a description. I'm like a kid in a candy store with all this great free software. Thank you, by the way! -- Sincerely, John Thomas

Best Java code for Centos 5.2s Firefox 3
by Robert Moskowitz 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

OK. I just upgraded a test system from 5.1 to 5.2 and there went all of my efforts to get Java working. All those alternative commands that I lost track of what really worked.... So I need the JDK. I have that installed on my main system with some alternatives commands that I do not remember. I do remember (and can find) a thread here to help me on it, and I tried a number of different recommendations until things started working. Was it the last command or a combination of them? Anyway, so here comes the upgrade to firefox 3. On my test system, Java was working with 1.5, and now it is not. So I anticipate the same event here. I need these Java apps working, so before I upgrade, I would like to know what others have found out and recommend.

using new sysconfig file
by Kai Schaetzl 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

I installed postgrey from rpmforge and wanted to use sysconfig to change options instead of overwriting the init file. However, I get a weird warning from postgrey. I'm not sure if this is a postgrey quirk or I use sysconfig the wrong way. /etc/sysconfig/postgrey: OPTIONS="--unix=/var/spool/postfix/postgrey/socket --delay=660" /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgrey: OPTIONS="--unix=$SOCKET --delay=660" # Source an auxiliary options file if we have one, and pick up OPTIONS, if [ -r /etc/sysconfig/$prog ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/$prog fi Error: " invalid for option delay (number expected) (The quote marks are necessary!) Using the additional option directly in the init file works just fine. Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

Understanding iptables
by MHR 13 Jul '08

13 Jul '08

In following up on the rsh "problem" I was having earlier, I decided to try out the suggestion Felipe sent about using system-config-securitylevel-tui to open up ports 513 and 514, but that doesn't seem to do the job, either. # iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp any ACCEPT esp -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT ah -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT udp -- anywhere 224.0.0.251 udp dpt:mdns ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ipp ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ipp ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:login ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:shell ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:telnet REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited Shouldn't this work given the login and shell lines above? Or do they need to come before the ESTABLISHED line, too? Thanks. mhr

I have successfully changed both the primary interface and the miimon value **while the interface is up** by directly writing to the /sys/class/net/bondX/bonding/{Key} files. Changing the bonding mode is not allowed while the interface is up (probably a good thing). This is a great improvement over previous incarnations of Red Hat bonding support. I have even successfully configured two bonds on the same machine using different bonding modes for each. VERY useful! Sam
