libMrm.so.3
by Dirk Roessler 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

I need to install libMrm.so.3 on my computer that has Centos4.3. However, I am not experienced with Centos4.3 so far. I do not know where to find this library for Centos4.3 and how to install it. Is there something like apt? Using system-config-packages I cannot find any intelligent way to search for programs and package. Dirk

mark and route traffic in a bridge
by Roberto Pereyra 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

Hi all !! I would to like to mark and route some kind of traffic (ie: outbound www, now by simplicity) ---inet1--------eth0------------| | | linux |--eth1------- clientes ---inet2(90.0.0.1)--------eth2-| | I have eth0 and eth1 bridged (eth2 is not bridged). I would to route www outbound clients traffic through eth2. This scheme works ? I wrote this scripts: a) add this line to /etc/iproute2/rt_tables 200 web b) I assign ip to eth2: /sbin/ifconfig eth2 90.0.0.2 c) Mark outbound www packets from clients: /usr/local/sbin/iptables -A PREROUTING -t mangle -m physdev --physdev-in eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j MARK --set-mark 2 d) I routing this marked packets /sbin/ip rule add fwmark 2 table web /sbin/ip route add default via 90.0.0.1 dev eth2 table web e) Now I run iptraf listen eth2 but through eth2 is nothing of traffic. What's a doing wrong ? How I can do it with a bridge ? Thanks in advance for any hint and excuse my english. roberto -- Ing.

VDQ Grub
by Beartooth 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Very Dumb Question : I have tried about four times now, using an old pentium2 with two hard drives (20 GB and 30 GB) to install both CentOS 4.4 and Fedora Core 6 in such a way as to enable dual-boot between them. I've tried it by installing 4.4 first, and then FC6. I've tried it by installing FC6 first, and then 4.4. I've tried it with and without giving the installer permission to use both drives. I always end up with ability to boot only to one OS, usually the one installed last. Between tries I wipe both drives with DBAN. Surely there must be something I'm doing wrong, obvious to many but not to me. Clue, please? -- Beartooth Staffwright, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert Fedora Core 6; CXO 5.0.1; Pine 4.64, Pan 0.119; Privoxy 3.0.3; Dillo 0.8.6, Galeon 2.0.3, Epiphany 2.16, Opera 9.10, Firefox 1.5 Remember I know precious little of what I am talking about.

xeon quad core?
by Gordon McLellan 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

Can anyone share their experience with installing RHEL / Centos (latest production release) on the Dell 2950 (or 2900) with the quad-core e5310 processor? Does anyone know what chipset Dell is using on this box? I've got one on the way, and I'm hoping to use centos as the 'host' OS for several virtual machines (some of them Windows pigs), running vmware server. some of the specifics in case they are relevant: Single Xeon Quad Core E5310 processor, 1066mHz fsb 16 gigabytes DDR2 667mHz ram Dell Perc 5/i raid controller, configured for raid 1 Dual 146gb SAS drives Intel Pro/1000PT dual port PCIe nic Any and all input is appreciated!

The way it works for me is: 1) Install distro 1 on the first drive, and let it put its GRUB into the MBR of the drive. Mostly that is what installers want to do by default 2) Install distro 2 on the second drive but make it put its GRUB in the root partition of the second drive. Looking at the RHEL installation guide, this will be done via the "Configure advanced boot loader" option in the Bootloader Configuration phase 3) Once the installation of distro 2 is complete, boot into distro 1 and modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to include: title Distro 2 rootnoverify (hd1,0) chainloader +1 If there is any chance that you will want distro 2 to be the default at some stage, put this before distro 1, which will look like: title Fedora Core (2.6.14-1.1656_FC4) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.img and modify the default= 0 to 1 Then if you later want distro 2 to be default you can change it back to 0 again. Doing it this way round avoids confusion if distro 1 gets a kernel upgrade and a new title line is added.
