Missing samba security update
by Marc Deslauriers 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi, In November, upstream released RHSA-2007:1016-4 containing critical samba updates for v4. I see the CentOS released packages and announcement for ia64, but none for i386 or x86_64. Were they overlooked? Am I not looking right? Thanks! Marc.

CentOS 5 and removing sendmail
by Joseph L. Casale 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hi, I want to build a spam gateway for my mail server using postfix. I issued an rpm -e sendmail and got the following output: # rpm -e sendmail error: Failed dependencies: /usr/sbin/sendmail is needed by (installed) redhat-lsb-3.1-12.2.EL.el5.centos.i386 smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mutt-1.4.2.2-3.el5.i386 smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) fetchmail-6.3.6-1.el5.i386 smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mdadm-2.5.4-3.el5.i386 How does one replace sendmail with postfix (I am hoping to install from source using the latest version)? Thanks! jlc

Local repository via createrepo assumes apache?
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I am looking at the howtos for using createrepo to make a local repository. Like the one at: http://jazzz1s.blogspot.com/2007/10/creating-local-yum-repository-centos.ht… It seems that I need to run apache on the repository server. But I can basically run with defaults? All the howtos I have found address [base] and [update] but not others like [add-on] should those be set up as well?

pcre vs. regexp for Postfix checks
by Miark 03 Dec '07

What are your opinions on pcre vs regexp for header_, body_, and mime_checks in Postfix? I looked at the regexp_table and prce_table man pages, and see almost no difference other than the available flags. Miark

Does Redhat have a list of changed packages in 5.1?
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

The information at: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1 is great. Does RH have something that shows what has changed with them from 5.0 to 5.1? So far I have only found: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-5.1-Manual/manual/doc000.html Like what release of Firefox, etc.

system-config-network on 5.1
by Jerry Geis 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Looks like there are NO command line options on system-config-network. Like -d eth0 or -d eth1 I used those alot when 2 network cards are in a box. Can netconfig be brought back to life? Can I just install the one from 5.0 on new boxes?\ Jerry

AHHH! when I run this command it does not show my eth0 as forcedeth it is showing my T1 digium card as eth0. Very shocked this command was removed from 5.0 to 5.1 release. What are they thinking?

What are > they thinking? To make matters worse - I just ran system-config-network. It does not automatically stop the existing dhcpclient running. Netconfig used to do this. I used to let DHCP run to setup the box as I install the OS. Later when I receive IP information - I would just run netconfig. then do service network restart and the box would be live. When I run system-config-network it gives me errors about the dhcpclient still running. Jerry

I am doing a yum install netconfig on the new 5.1 and nothing gets installed. Was it removed? replaced with something else? yum provides netconfig does not show a "bin" command just false matches. Is there a new command? Thanks, Jerry
