Another odd postfix issue related to 4.4 update
by chrism＠imntv.com 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Postfix appears to be running normally and is accepting/receiving mail as usual, but... I'm seeing lines like this in the message log: Sep 1 06:55:23 fender postfix/smtpd[11969]: sql_select option missing Sep 1 06:55:23 fender postfix/smtpd[11969]: auxpropfunc error no mechanism available Those seem to be sasl related, right? I'm not using sasl support (yet). Any clues to this behaviour would be much appreciated. Cheers, Chris

This appears to be an upstream issue but everyone is quiet on the issue. For now I recommend that you uninstall galeon before using yum upgrade. More details are available from the RedHat web site at https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rh21as-errata.html The easy way to make sure you are up to date with all the latest patches is to run*: # rpm --erase galeon # yum upgrade * NOTE: this is not the normal procedure. -- John Newbigin Computer Systems Officer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 19, Issue 2 **********************************************

mozilla and seamonkey not the same
by Jerry Geis 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

I have searched the bugzilla and seamonkey has bugs when using "-remote openurl(www.google.com)" it always opens a new window. Mozilla did not have this problem. How can I continue to use the old mozilla? Both for system updates and for new 4.4 installs. I need the -remote functionality to not open new windows. Thanks, Jerry

My 4.4 upgrades
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

My update method on two critical systems has been to use yumex. I select all, unselect major apps that I recognize (bind, openssh, etc), update and reboot. The yumex to get those apps and another reboot (most likely not needed). I have updated my notebook. The only detected problems are: madwifi drivers and lost Thunderbird icons in drawers (just had to go through the properties and reselect the icon). Too soon to tell about anything deeper.... One server so far. This is a new box that I built only a couple weeks ago. Update went fine. I am now taring up the system as a checkpoint before proceeding. Two Trixboxes. I am having that classic Trixbox problem with Centos and Zaptel, so I have to reread the docs, as yum update fails with unresolved dependencies. So after some fear and doubt, I have made the leap!

problems copying distro files
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

At this point in my lab, the only solid servers I have are Win2000. So I xcopy the distro CDs into a directory that I make available for install via ftp. Well I have had problems copying files from this distro. I had to use the /c option in xcopy to get past the problem files.. A few examples are: The following files in the image directory of disk 1 has 'File creation error - The parameter is incorrect.": README boot.iso diskboot.img pxeboot/README My screen buffer is only 400, so I missed any errors in the first 1500 files. And I think there was one earlier (the reason why I had to add the /c option). On I think CD 3 in the Centos/RPMS the file tix.8.1.4-98.i386.rpm had a 'File creation error -Date error (cyclic redundancy check). I created both CDs twice from the ISO images, getting these errors. There may be others. Any input on this?

mozilla and seamonkey
by Jerry Geis 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

I have an XPI that I used to apply to mozilla. seamonkey is now loaded instead of mozilla. even if I do a "yum install mozilla" I still get seamonkey. How do I get mozilla. My XPI does not seem to work with seamonkey... THanks, Jerry

Yam not generating repomd.xml
by Eduardo Grosclaude 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

I think I have obeyed the docs. Metadata in yam conf says repomd (formerly createrepo but led to "unexisting --update option" message). Conf is otherwise pretty close to examples. I have downloaded Centos 4.4 ISOs, I have done yam -gv, ISO files are correctly mounted and published via HTTP, etc but no xml files are generated anywhere under /var/www/yam. What am I overlooking? Can I have yam make repo metadata if I have ISO files as well? TIA # yum list available Setting up repositories update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 http://192.168.0.205/yam/centos4-i386/RPMS.os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: HTTP Error 404: Not Found Trying other mirror.
