Moving the Home dir to new server
by Todd Cary 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

I have a new Centos installation that has an empty /home dir and there are no users...just root. I want to move the home directory from another server to the new one. At this time the old /home directory has been tarred with "-prf". That will keep permissions which could be a problem. Is there a simple way to move the /home directory? And the non-system users in the password and group files? Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

default Bind on CentOS 4.4 and reverse DNS subnets issue?
by Florin Andrei 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Anybody knows if the Bind version on CentOS 4.4 (9.2.4) has issues with doing reverse DNS for subnets? (networks smaller than /24) I keep a reverse DNS /26 subnet on Bind 9.3.1 (Fedora) and it works fine. I've a /27 subnet on CentOS 4 (bind 9.2.4), exactly the same config just different subnets and addresses, and it does not work. I do a "dig @localhost .......in-addr.arpa. PTR" and there's no ANSWER section. The logs provide no clues, all zones load up clean. Identical config, different behavior. Maximum frustration. :-/ -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/

Cannot boot; stops at Sendmail
by Todd Cary 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

I shut the server down last evening due to power surges and when I tried to bring it back up, it stops at starting sendmail. Is there a way around this? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

If you are an IEEE member, you can look on the web site for jobs. If not, look on monster(s).com Suggest when you are not looking for a job, you download the PDF files for the RHEL manuals, from the CentOS web site, at this URL: http://www.centos.org/docs/4/ and look through them. They will answer many of your questions and give you much guidance! I never worked with UNIX when I was employed, and there is a "learning curve", but, it's well worth it. My Linux partitions on this home desktop box (dual boot with Win XP) look something like this: swap is 1020 MB (512 MB of RAM) /opt is vfat 1028 MB (to transfer data between Win XP and Linux safely) /boot is ext3 102 MB /home is ext3 4001 MB /tmp is ext3 1028 MB / is ext3 4997 MB I believe you should backup the data in /home (tar -cvf backup.tar /home/mike) for example) and then burn that to a CD and then do a "clean" install of CentOS 4.4 and then restore your data and browser and e-mail. I believe that unless the box you install to has unsupported HW, it is going to work for you, out of the box, without any problems. It takes me awhile to restore to Evolution (my e-mail client) and then a few minutes to restore my Bookmarks and Cookies to Firefox and I'm ready to go. CentOS is a very good, solid, distribution, like the upstream distro. It is not perfect, but it is much more solid and stable and secure than many distros and I doubt that I will stray from CentOS again. HTH, Lanny

virtualizing Windows in Cetnos
by William Warren 28 Feb '07

28 Feb '07

Here is what i am looking to do. i have a server SBS 2k3 machine. I want to load linux on it then virtualize the SBS server inside the linux installation. I would then be able to compress backup just the sbs virtual file instead of screwing with the backup programs inside of windows(even symantec's and yosemitie's stuff leaves much to be desired). What are my options both free and commercial? I know i will have to upgrade the memory to about 2 gigabytes..:) -- My "Foundation" verse: Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.
