Yum FTP concurrency
by Tom Lanyon 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Greetings, My chosen CentOS mirror has a limit of 5 max FTP connections per IP. A simple 'yum update' is hitting this limit and causing the whole update procedure to fail. Are there any settings to limit yum's FTP concurrency? Regards, Tom

building a Xen guest image on straight LVM partitions?
by Amos Shapira 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Hello, When I needed to build Xen guests under Debian I could follow more or less the instructions in http://preview.tinyurl.com/2oc48r and the advantage of this approach is that it allows me to setup the Xen guest directly on the LVM partition without making it consider the LVM partition as an entire disk with a partition table. The advantages of this approach are: 1. I can add more LVM's later, or share LVM's at the host level among multiple Xen guests. 2. I can easily grow/shrink the Xen guest's disks. 3. I can access the Xen guest's filesystem much more easily 5. Probably less overhead in having LVM->parition->LVM. But I didn't find a way to achieve this with CentOS 5's automatic tools. Is this supported by CentOS as a Xen host or do I have to find my own way? Thanks, --Amos

Repository for debuginfo (CentOS 5.1)
by MHR 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

It has been suggested (elsewhere) that, to track down the nautilus problem I reported a while back, I need to install the nautilus debuginfo rpm. However, my yum can't find it. The only repositories I have set up on my machine are these: CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Media.repo kbs-CentOS-Extras.repo mirrors-rpmforge rpmforge.repo Do I need another one for debuginfo rpms? Thanks. mhr

OT: Rsync question
by Steven Vishoot 11 Dec '07

11 Dec '07

Hello All, I have an off topic question about rsync and was wondering if i can get some kind person help with it. I have two servers with each server have three same directories on them /dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ . How would i achieve this by using rsync? I have tried rsync -avrt --delete server_ip:/dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ /dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/ this does not do anything except give errors. Someone on IRC suggested i do a loop something like this, for i in "/dir1/ /dir2/ /dir3/"; do rsync -av $i root@server:${i};done but when i do it i do not get what i was expecting and also receive errors about not able to transfer files. I am not able to post the exact errors since it has been a while since i have attempted this and do not wish to screw stuff up right at the moment, but in general both say rsync cannot transfer files. So in general is there a way i can do multiple directories in one command or am i left with doing them each individual as in rsync -av server:/dir1/ /dir1/ and repeat for the rest of directories. or does someone know of a better way. my final goal is to have a cronjob do this. thanks steven

SELinux and Perl script using sendmail
by Miark 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

I have a webpage feedback form that uses a Perl script to send e-mails with "| /usr/sbin/sendmail -t". It works just fine, but SELinux is complaining about it: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/postdrop (postfix_postdrop_t) "getattr" to pipe:[41117] (httpd_t) I'm a SELinux newb so I don't know what (if anything) to do about it. Suggestions? Miark

keeping a mirror of the updates repo
by Kai Schaetzl 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

I have a local mirror of CentOS5 base and updates. Now with 5 having become 5.1 and in case I just want to keep on updating (at the moment) is it enough that I update the mirror of updates or do I also need an update of the base repo?

5.1 Upgrade Not Working?
by Scott Moseman 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

So both "yum upgrade" and "yum update" now are complete and there's no new packages. However, when I attempt to check my version, I'm still showing 5. # cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final) I remember seeing 5.1 repositories being access for the upgrades. Is it possible my system did not upgrade? # uname -r 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5.centos.plus Thanks, Scott

How prevent loading of audio driver at boot?
by Steve Snyder 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

CentOS v5.1 insists on loading about a dozen audio-related drivers at boot time. Since this is a server machine, it will never run applications that require sound output. I tried setting "alias snd_cs46xx off" in modprobe.conf. Yet the system still loads that driver and the many, many other audio drivers that go with it. How can I disable the loading of audio drivers at boot time? Thanks.

Re: [CentOS] remote ssh to machine how display firefox
by Brent L. Bates 10 Dec '07

10 Dec '07

I've looked over the man page for `ssh' and `ssh_config' on several systems and I think people have it backwards. The pages I read indicate that `-X' is more secure than `-Y'. Under the `-X' part on several systems I have access to says: "For this reason, X11 forwarding is subjected to X11 SECURITY extension restrictions by default." The `-Y' says: "Trusted X11 forwardings are not subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls." I would think being subjected to security controls would be more secure than not being subjected to them. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)
