Re: [CentOS] GNBD and DRBD kernel mods

>What is it in the Plus kernel that you need and cant be packaged >into a kmod itself ? Ehm, nothing... I just need a kernel that both has a kmod-drbd and kmod-gnbd.

Need help to track an ip port problem
by Erick Perez 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

Hi, My centos 4.4 fully updated is going to be used as a mail server. However I did something or i didn't do something and I need some assistance. You see, If I run sendmail in port 25, i can telnet localhost 25 fine. but if I telnet the machine from another machine, the port is refuse. So i tested by running other programs (one at a time) listening to port 25, I cant connect. So It seems that something is blocking specifically port 25 to receive incoming connections. Can I have some assistance as to where to look for a configuration mistake? Basically something has my port 25 blocked on the same machine. BTW iptables is not running.

'service' command not present
by Trey Sizemore 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

I just did an install of CentOS 5 on one of my machines. However, when I try to use the 'service' command (such as 'service httpd start') I get an error that the service command is not found. Why would that be? Where does this command come from? I can launch the services just fine using the respective /etc/init.d/ entries. -- Cheers, Trey ---- Dieters live life in the fasting lane.

Well, that explains. Can you start shipping kmod-gndb in the CentOSPlus kernels? -- We've Got Your Name at http://www.mail.com ! Get a FREE E-mail Account Today - Choose From 100+ Domains

HELP, I accidentally initialized my /boot partition
by Alfred von Campe 20 Aug '07

20 Aug '07

So I installed a second drive in my system today, and instead of typing "mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1" I did a "mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1". Fortunately, that was just my /boot partition. I thought I could just copy the contents from the /boot partition from another system, but that didn't work as expected. The again, I don't have another system that's identical to the mine. What is the best way to re-create the /boot partition for my system? Alfred
