configuration file for tunneling device
by Nabin Limbu 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Hi, For Ethernet and others, we have a configuration file inside /etc/sysconfig/newtork-script/ like ifcfg-ethx where we specify ip address, mask, type etc... For GRE tunneling, how can I specify the parameters for tunneling device, so that I ifup-tunnel will automatically read and start the interface and I don't have to write the below scripts in my start-up file. ip tunnel add netx mode gre remote 69.77.7.7 local 192.168.0.1 ttl 255 ip addr add 192.168.0.1 dev netx

RHEL vs. CentOS
by drew einhorn 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Hi, we have a new customer to support. They have RHEL5 not CentOS5. Is there a summary of the differences between RHEL and CentOS? We have come across differences in how yum works. There is magic involving the rhnplugin that connects us to invisible repositories not mentioned in the yum config files, interacts with the web interface via rhn.redhat.com, ... We wonder if there are other differences that we have not yet stumbled upon, that might create issues in the future. -- Drew Einhorn

how to generate modprobe.conf
by David Hláčik 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

Hello, i have moved hard disk from one pc to another (some architecture). I have booted, everything working. To my surprise some modules in modprobes.conf are still there even if this PC does not have such hardware. I have tried remove modprobe.conf, but after reboot, system by it self does not generate a new one modprobe.conf. What is responsible for modprobe.conf generation, how can i revoke it to generate a modprobe.conf such as is generated after fresh install. Thanks in advance! David

Can't run a bash script from USB drive
by MHR 06 Jul '08

06 Jul '08

I just tried to run a bash script (called "whose") from my USB drive and I get this: bash: /mt/bin/whose: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied I did some googling and found that this is because my USB drive is mounted with noexec permission. When I was running FC8, this was not the case. How can I control this (i.e., allow 'exec' on my USB drive(s))? Thanks mhr

mkdep vs. makedepend
by MHR 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Where I work, we have an application that has been merrily running away (and being built) on FC1 (yes, you read that right). One of my assignments is to bring this up to CentOS, but on my first effort, I ran into this interesting "feature." The original build process (FC1) uses mkdep to generate the dependency files that are subsequently used by the makes to build the app. mkdep does not exist in CentOS 5.2. There is a makedepend command that operates slightly differently. Can someone enlighten me on this, particularly w.r.t. 1) how do I use makedepend to generate the same files mkdep did and is this a good idea (my impression is that it's not really that hard but also not necessarily a good idea or 2) convert all the makefiles to be makedepend friendly (seems relatively easy, though fairly extensive, but probably a better idea and also harmless should I wish/need to continue to build on the FC1 system? Probably a really basic question or two, but neither google nor the archives have a good article on this that I could find. Thanks. mhr

Wanted: minimal install ks.cfg
by Daniel_Curry＠Dell.com 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Greetings, all. I'm in need of a minimal ks.cfg file for the smallest possible install with yum. I've got the scripting for yum to install the apps I need, I just want to insure all the cruft is not on the system as well. Using the s-c-ks app, the smallest I have gotten is 600MB. This is for a server appliance vm that I need to deploy quickly and dynamically. Thanks Dnaiel

FW: [CentOS] Problem with nvidia-drv-x11 when upgrading to CentOS 5.2 (Akemi)

I have not done this for a while but you can automate the installation of the proprietary Nvidia driver by providing appropriate flags. The following command worked when I tested: sh ./NVIDIAxxxxx.run -a -q -N --ui=none Others posted this: sh ./NVIDIAxxxxx.run --no-network -s -K -n Once you find the way to get the installalation working without human intervention, you can put it in a place like /etc/rc.local : if [ ! -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko ]; then echo "Installing the proprietary NVIDIA driver." /full/path/to/ NVIDIAxxxxx.run --no-network -s -K -n fi This will compile and install the driver each time the kernel is updated.

cvs command failure on 5.2
by MHR 05 Jul '08

05 Jul '08

Another little problem I am now having on CentOS 5.2 that I was not seeing on FC8: [mrichter@sushi lane]$ cvs update poll: protocol failure in circuit setup cvs [update aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any) I could understand if there was something that had changed from FC1 to CentOS 5.2, but if it works in FC8, why not here? Here's what's in the CVS directory and files: [mrichter@sushi lane]$ ls CVS Entries Repository Root Tag [mrichter@sushi lane]$ for i in CVS/*; do echo $i; cat $i; echo ""; done CVS/Entries /Makefile.template/1.2/Thu Oct 6 19:06:14 2005//TDEV_608 /makefile.include/2.6/Wed Dec 6 21:58:01 2006//TDEV_608 D/bin//// D/cron_jobs//// D/devices//// D/doc//// D/drivers//// D/include//// D/lanecon//// D/lib_src//// D/main//// D/parser//// D/sim//// D/tcautil//// D/viewcon//// D/webmon//// /Makefile/1.2/Fri Jul 4 23:22:10 2008//TDEV_608 CVS/Repository linuxlane/lane CVS/Root khan:/home/stage/CVS CVS/Tag TDEV_608 (Khan is our main file server, and it's running a Linux that's even older than FC1 - not sure what: [mrichter@khan mrichter]$ uname -a Linux khan 2.4.21-15.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Apr 22 00:18:24 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Our execution/test server is viper, with FC1: [mrichter@viper lane]$ uname -a Linux viper 2.4.23HZ_opt #12 Fri Apr 1 13:57:09 PST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux What command tells me which distro I'm on? I forget....) I'm a little rusty on my cvs mastery (?) but most of this looks ok to me, and, as I mentioned, it works in FC8, but not CentOS 5.2. Any ideas/suggestions/etc? Thanks. mhr
