system-auth.rpmnew
by Kai Schaetzl 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

The upgrade to 5.2 creates /etc/pam.d/system-auth.rpmnew. I see that /etc/pam.d/system-auth actually is a symlink to system-auth-ac. Is it recommended to replace that symlink with the rpmnew file?

xorg and backlight
by Andrej Moravcik 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Hi all, I have found one problem after upgrading to CentOS 5.2 x86 on my HP Compaq nx7010 laptop. When I close and open lid, backlight is not turned on again. I can see my desktop, but the only thing I can do is press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart X11. Then the backlight is restored. xorg.conf is generic, created by installation process. I use ATI proprietary driver 8.28.08 (the last which support Mobility Radeon 9200). I would appreciate any hint or help.

spam filtering with centos 5.2
by John R Pierce 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

In the past I've used a combination of spamhaus combined RBL's and Spamassassin with Mailscanner as my spam recipe, but this stopped working very well for me well over a year ago. As many of the users of the couple small/personal mail servers I run are NOT technical people, and use POP to read their mail, 'training' spamassassin is difficult at best. Once upon a time, using the Rules Du Jour scripts from the SARES project worked pretty well, but that has been shut down, and really hasn't been functional in over a year. I've just rebuilt a friends mail server with centos 5.2 (it was running FC3 or something before) and would like to setup them up with a decent anti-spam recipe that doesn't require extensive tinkering or training. does anyone have a good recipe for this? Ideally I'd like something purely RPM based that doesn't require extensive configuration and tuning. I've never setup razor before, how well does that work if the mail users aren't in a position to feed it training data?

New yum search behavior is awful/useless
by Kai Schaetzl 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Anyone already tried yum search after the 5.2 upgrade? yum search perl-MIME-tools <skipped some stuff> perl-MIME-tools.noarch : Perl modules for parsing (and creating!) MIME entities perl-MIME-tools.noarch : Perl modules for parsing (and creating!) MIME entities perl-MIME-tools.noarch : Perl modules for parsing (and creating!) MIME entities That *used* to tell if it's installed (and from where) and from which repositories which version is available. This information is all gone now. Also gone is the description. I can get the description from info and the installed status from list, but the repo information is completely gone now it seems. In this state yum search is pretty useless. Am I missing something? man yum and yum.conf don't list any options to get a more useful behavior.

Clamd not working
by Anne Wilson 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

Earlier this month I reported a problem in that ClamTK couldn't virus-scan a file. This was cured by following the dev's instructions <quote> If you open up a terminal window and type "ls /var/clamav" (without quotes of course), I'm betting you'll see a variety of files and/or directories in there. If you're up for it, as root type rm /var/clamav/* -rf which will remove all the signatures. Don't worry, you'll get them back in the next step. As root, type freshclam -v And that will download all the necessary signatures again. </quote> At that point I thought all was well - until I had to reboot, when I found that it hung with a message (from memory) 'self-checking 1800'. Using Interactive boot I discovered that it came from clamd. I'm guessing that daily.cld main.cld and mirrors.dat are being sought somewhere other than /var/clamav. Maybe a symlink is required? If someone with a working clamd could advise me I'd be most grateful. For now I have had to chkconfig clamd off. Anne

How/when to file bugs on upstream bugzilla?
by Greg Bailey 29 Jun '08

29 Jun '08

I've hit a bug since upgrading from 5.1 to 5.2 that involves the screen blanking when I shut the lid on a Dell Latitude D820 notebook. It doesn't come back on correctly when I open the lid, and instead crashes X. I've filed a bug on bugs.centos.org that describes the problem (#2910), and was requested to file a bug on bugzilla.redhat.com. I've filed bugs on Red Hat's system before, but always after reproducing the problem using genuine RHEL. In this case, I can't practically reload my notebook with RHEL 5.2, so I'm wondering how to report this bug to Red Hat. I'm afraid of it getting rejected outright since it's not RHEL, but on the other hand I could see where the collected information could be useful to them if the bug report is written well... Any advice on this? I didn't see anything on the CentOS wiki or FAQ as to how or when to use upstream's bug system. thanks! Greg
