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?

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. :-/

Hi,
Boot from centos's cd in rescue mode, or from a centos's live cd and run de following commands:
$grub #it bring the grub's shell
grub>find /grub/menu.lst
#the answer is like that:
(hd0,0)
(hd1,0)
grub>root (hd0,0)
grub>setup (hd0)
grub>root (hd1,0)
grub>setup (hd1)
that's all.

Hi,

Thanks in advance.

There has been an update to the files issued for this advisory
upstream.
The original seamonkey-nss created a problem with Evolution and Gaim
which caused them to fail to start.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=229987http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1694
The issue has been corrected with this update.

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?

Mike: Sorry you are unemployed! 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

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..:)
