Removed Plus kernel, yum still wants to update plus kernel
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

I am trying to get off the plus kernel. Hasn't helped yet, and my MadWifi does not work with it. So I used YUMEX to remove all of the plus kernel cruft that I could see. I rebooted. ONly the standard kernel was listed in the boot menu (good sign). Start up Yumex, and it is showing that the plus kernel needs updating. Nothing on the regular kernel. Just yum update behaves the same. So where does yum keep its 'memory', so I can remove references to the plus kernel and get back to the regular kernel?????

Active/Passive Cluster
by Ed Morrison 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

I'm setting up a mail server in an active/passive cluster. Does any know of a guide that details how to setup 2 linux servers connecting to the same data array? I'm planning on using heartbeat but I do not see any array configuration in the documentation. Thanks, Ed

OT: How to make files placed into FTP directory available via http
by Ed Morrison 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

I'm hoping someone out there can tell me or direct me on where to find this info on how to make files placed into an ftp directory available via an url link in an email. I will have a staff member upload the files to a directory on my ftp server (which is also the web server) and the files would have to be automatically linked to a web directory, unless the files can be read directly from the ftp server. This needs to have no interaction from me and should be automagic..... Any and all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ed

How to get 4.3 updates without 4.4 upgrade
by Robert Moskowitz 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

Well, I want to stay on an even keel, here with 4.3 for a week or two. I would like to update needed programs. Would also like to get a newer gnome! What are others doing here. Too much traffic, too much to read....

Now running vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL -- MadWifi dead
by Robert Moskowitz 04 Sep '06

Kudzu is not recognizing my Atheros card. Actually I was having this problem with the plus kernel and I fell back to 2.6.9-34.0.2 Running on ethernet until I can figure out what to update.

Now I can see what's changed in the 42.0.2 kernel. Were I running a important router/firewall, NFS server or IBM Pizzaro box I'd probably want to take note of this update and test things out there... Note that changelogs aren't always complete documentation of changes, they're an overview. Jay

TARPIT target in iptables
by Barry Brimer 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

Has anyone been successful at using the TARPIT target in iptables under CentOS 4? I am using CentOS 4.3, fully updated with iptables-1.2.11-3.1.RHEL4 and kernel-2.6.9-34.107.plus.c4 Doing a locate on TARPIT returns: # locate TARPIT /lib/iptables/libipt_TARPIT.so This makes me think that the TARPIT target would be valid, however when I try to use it, I get the following reponse: # iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j TARPIT iptables: No chain/target/match by that name I am following the example located at the Netfilter website for rule creation: http://www.netfilter.org/patch-o-matic/pom-extra.html#pom-extra-TARPIT I have *NOT* rebuilt my kernel, or any tools because on the surface, as it does not appear necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Barry
