Is there a way to see what repo sites were used by yum? I want to check that my local repos are actually being used.

Help with /usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/proto.m4 - fax macro
by Robert Moskowitz 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

OK. Digging into this... sendmail.m4 has the lines: define(`FAX_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/faxmail')dnl define(`FAX_MAILER_ARGS',`faxmail -d -n -p 12pt $u@$h $f')dnl MAILER(`fax')dnl proto.m4 has: `R$+ < @ $+ .FAX. > $#fax $@ $2 $: $1 user(a)host.FAX', `ifdef(`FAX_RELAY', `R$*<@$+.FAX.>$* $: $>MailerToTriple < $F > $1 <@$2.FAX.> $3 user(a)host.FAX', sendmail.cf has: R$+ < @ $+ .FAX. > $#fax $@ $2 $: $1 user(a)host.FAX If the To: header is: joe(a)222.fax.foo.com creates a -d argument of: >joe<@2201.fax.foo.com. changing the proto.m4 to: `R$+ < @ $+ .FAX. > $#fax $@ $2 $: $1 user@host', `ifdef(`FAX_RELAY', `R$*<@$+.FAX.>$* $: $>MailerToTriple < $F > $1 <@$2> $3 user@host', makes no difference.... So either I need a LOT of help understanding the expressions in proto.m4 or proto.m4 is NOT the source of the content of sendmail.cf and I need to find the REAL source....

centos 5.1 netinstall iso bugged ?
by kOoLiNuS - Nicola Losito 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

Hi all, i'm trying out a netinstall test installation. When asked to where I do want to install I got a bunch of choices. If i select HTTP I insert: server: mirror.centos.org path: centos/$releasever/os/$basearch but then he says to me that he can't find the "boot.iso" in: http://mirror.centos.org//centos/$releasever/os/$basearch ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ please note the double /. If then i go back I see: path: /centos/$releasever/os/$basearch with a /at the beginning I did not enter. Ideas ? TIA, Nicola -- Nicola Losito kOoLiNuS blog http://koolinus.wordpress.com {ita} http://www.koolinus.net AIM/Gtalk/Yahoo/ICQ/Jabber: koolinus

Network Servers window kills all Nautilus windows in CentOS 5.1?
by MHR 07 Dec '07

07 Dec '07

In the process of doing something else, I happened to open the Network Servers window from the Places applet menu. When I did, it killed all my Nautilus windows on all my workspaces. (I had to experiment a little to prove this, but it did happen.) Is there an explanation for this and what? Thanks. mhr

All presented no video output > whatsoever at the anaconda launch point. I think the correct option is "nofb" for no frame buffer at the original install screen (linux nofb). I ran into this when I first put Linux on my laptop back in the summer of 2005. I originally worked around it by just attaching an external monitor which also works but takes a little more planning and effort. The problem probably has something to do with anaconda shifting into graphics mode when anaconda starts but the mode isn't compatible with the laptop's LCD display. Using nofb tells the kernel not to use frame buffers which keeps the install in a standard (e.g., VGA) mode or the external monitor works with the display mode. Cheers, Dave -- Politics, n.

RHEL 5 vs. CentOS 5
by Lopez, Denise 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

Hi all, I would like to first preface this e-mail by saying if this topic has been covered already, could someone point me to the month of the discussion and I will gladly read it. We have been using RHEL 3 / 4 in our environment and I am very happy and satisfied with the stability of the OS. Now with the new technologies incorporated into RHEL5, specifically Virtualization, Clustering, and Storage, and the costs associated with them, I was wondering how similar CentOS and RHEL 5 were. It is my understanding that CentOS is RHEL 5 with the RedHat icons removed but the functionality of the packages is the same. In addition, updates may come a day or two later than RHEL 5. My boss is a little concerned about the differences since we host production servers that require minimal downtime. Any thoughts and opinions are very welcome. Thank you for your input.

Updating kernel from CentOS 5 to 5.1
by Andrew Allen 06 Dec '07

06 Dec '07

To upgrade the kernel to CentOS 5.1 (to take advantage of support for Dell wireless card bcm43xx), should I update everything or just type 'yum update kernel', or what? Also, is it OK to remove 'old' kernels (which appear in the boot list) when they are no longer required? Thanks, Andy
