CESA-2007-1215-001 CentOS 4.6 i386 Zero Day Updates (Johnny Hughes) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2007 08:52:27 -0600 From: Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> Subject: [CentOS-announce] CentOS 4.6 is released for i386, x86_64, s390, s390x and ia64 To: CentOS-Announce <centos-announce(a)centos.org>, distro(a)distrowatch.com Message-ID: <47653BAB.6040308(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" The CentOS development team is pleased to announce the release of CentOS 4.6 for i386, x86_64, s390, s390x and ia64. It is available on all CentOS.org mirrors and via bittorrent, see this link to download ISOs: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/4.6/isos/ This release corresponds to the upstream vendor U6 release. Also released in the updates repository for CentOS-4.6 are all updates through December 15th, 2007. The work for the i386 and x86_64 ServerCDs is in progress. If you are currently using another version CentOS-4 version, using this command will upgrade you to CentOS-4.6: yum update -------------------------------------------------------------------- Major changes for this version are: * samba has been updated to version 3.0.25b. This addresses several critical issues affecting interoperability with Windows 2003™ and Windows Vista™ (resolved in recent upstream releases). * autofs5 is included in this release as a Technology Preview. This new version of autofs resolves several long-standing interoperability issues in multi-vendor environments. * There is a technology preview of OpenOffice-2.0 included in the updates directory. You can install this OOo2 preview alongside the current OOo-1.1.5 version, or you may install the OOo2 preview alone. We apologize that this was not included on the ISOs, however it was not on the upstream ISOs and we followed that layout. To List the new OpenOffice-2.0 RPMS with yum use this command: yum search openoffice.org2 | grep i386 | grep -v langpack For finding Language Packs (if you want other than English) do: yum search openoffice.org2 | grep langpack Use "yum install <pkg_name1> <pkg_name2>" to install the packages that you want, or "yum info <pkg_name1> <pkg_name2>" to obtain more information about them. * A new yum included in CentOS-4.6 requires the installation of yum-metadata-parser. The yum-metadata-parser package contains a metadata parser for yum written in C. It speeds up the metadata parsing phase of yum considerably and does not change yum behavior in any other way. Please see the CentOS specific release notes here (or in the main directory on your install media): http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.6/os/i386/RELEASE-NOTES-en.html detailed upstream release notes here (and in the /NOTES directory on your install media): http://www.centos.org/docs/4/html/release-notes/as-x86/RELEASE-NOTES-U6-en.… CentOS-4 Documentation is here: http://www.centos.org/docs/4/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- All previous released CentOS versions are available at: http://vault.centos.org/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- To stay current with CentOS: Visit our website at http://www.centos.org/ Join the CentOS mailing list at: http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos HowTos and other items on the wiki: http://wiki.centos.org/ Join various team members on IRC at irc.freenode.net #centos -------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: It may take a couple days for some of the external mirrors to catch up. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Enjoy, The CentOS Development Team

Expandable network storage
by Steve Campbell 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

I want to thank everyone who has provided insight into my thread about clustering MySql. I kind of just sat back and watched it develop. I learned a lot from it all. I have been reading all of the documentation on clustering provided by Centos/Red Hat, and find I travel in circles. I read one chapter and answer a self-imposed question but I end up asking myself another. What I really want to do is have HA for any service I run (which is mostly HTTP, MySQL, FTP, and the common things like that). I want to run that to redundant storage somewhere that is real easy to expand by just adding more hardware (server or disk drive). I started exploring this by using the Cluster Suite as a base and then looked into each aspect of the cluster and invariably got stuck on the storage side of this. I see how I can maybe set this up originally, but the expansion just doesn't seem to be there. I don't really want to go the route of Fibre channels and ISCSI, and would prefer to use common hardware (which sort of suggests GNBD). If anyone cares to offer suggestions, with a pretty clear explanation trail (thanks Ken Price for your link to a step-by-step), I would really like to see it, as I'm not getting anywhere with the documentation. I hope to get some hardware to play with shortly, and maybe that'll make things clearer. I'm sure it one of those deals where once I get it done, it'll be so obvious. I just need a little kickstart to help me get there. Thanks, Steve Campbell

After 5.1 update $releasever is still 5
by Robert Moskowitz 16 Dec '07

16 Dec '07

I have performed the 5.1 update via the 5 repo on a couple of systems. I then went to switch these systems to my new local repo using ther $releasever variable. It still has the value of 5, not 5.1 Where is this set? Why was it not changed to 5.1? On the one clean install from the 5.1 isos, $releasever is at 5.1 I think.

Samba issue
by William Warren 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

for some reason I cannot to my samba server on centos 4.5 with any other linux distro. I have tried pclinuxos, kubuntu, fc7. I have entered the correct credentials in the correct case to no avail. What's funny is my winders machines can connect just fine.

What is equivalent to MS OUTLOOK ?
by Indunil Jayasooriya 15 Dec '07

15 Dec '07

Hi All, I am looking for an open source email client package that is equivalent to MS OUTLOOK. Clients are running Windows XP and Vista and Linux. So the package should be able to run on both Windows And Linux. Mail server is running Ms Exchange. So this client pkg should be able to access Global Address book of the MS Exchange Server just as MS OUTLOOK. What about evolution ? Pls see, below URL http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/ Can it do fulfil my requirements? or do you know any other pkg that can fulfil these requirements? -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya

I have a device on my network that is not DHCP and I dont know the IP address of it and it has not method of finding it or changing it unless you know the IP address (setable by browser). Is there a way on linux, based on MAC address, to get the IP of the unit? Thanks, Jerry
