Logwatch doesn't works on CentOS 3.8
by carlopmart 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hi all, Recently i have updagred my firewall box from CentOS 3.7 to 3.8. All works ok, except logwatch. All jobs that I have on cron works ok without problems, and system defaults crons too except logwatch. I have tried to run it manually without luck. How can I debug logwatch or how can I fix this? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

Dump problem on USB drive
by John Masters 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hi. I am running CentOS 4.3 on a small home server just dishing up mail, music etc. to the household. I had been doing irregular backups to a 160GB USB external drive /dev/sda1 mounted as /mnt/backup using tar. Then I read somewhere that dump was better so I tried that after clearing the drive (formatted as ext3). dump -0u -f /dev/sda1 /shared took a while to finish but gave no errors however ls showed no files and df -h showed /dev/sda1 to be 4.4T in size and 100% full. I've looked at the man pages but I must be missing something! Regards, John

bootloader installed at wrong place during install
by Aleksandar Milivojevic 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

Hi, I've just started testing CentOS 4.4 installs. When installing on two mirrored drives, the bootloader got installed into the first partition, instead of MBR. It was a kickstart install, and I used "bootloader --location=mbr" in the kickstart file (which is also a default). However, when looking into /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file, misteriously it was changed to "bootloader --location=partition" by Anaconda!? I've noticed this happening only when installing on two mirrored drives. If installing on a single drive, the boot loader ends up in MBR as it should. The partition config was relatively simple. Two partitions on each disk, mirrored. One for /boot, one for LVM (which than contained everything else). Has anybody else experienced same problem? -- NOTICE: If you are not intended recipient, you are hereby notified that by reading this message you agreed not to disturb frogs during mating season.

Shouldn't be too hard to accomplish... Could be done under PHP as well. HTH Mark

Helping CentOS automatically

...If you like the majority of us as I am...there is something we can do for the centos scene that really doesn't cost anything. When you download the distro...just let bittorrent seed indefinitely. By doing this you are contributing to centos as a whole. ...go figure...I'm actually giving the centos cause 17-18 KB/s and the beauty...I don't even miss it! My boxes run 24/7 anyway so why not!!!

New X crappy for older stuff?
by William L. Maltby 01 Sep '06

01 Sep '06

While burning in a new desktop Epox KT-880 workstation, I'm running on my old K6-III at 360MHz. Before new X updates (put everything in today, kernel, elfutils, ntpd - Selinux issues? - xorg, ...) with my PCI ATI 7000 (Radeon) on a 19" Samsung 950b @ 1024x768 (one of 5 different resolutions I commonly use), I could scroll smoothly at reasonable rates. With the new stuff I get severe flickering. As if the screen is "blanking", showing a little, "blanking", showing a little, ... It's really horrible. Anybody else got some old stuff that does(n't) have symptoms? I'll say bye to this update shortly I guess, security be damned. I'm the only user and IPCop protects me. TIA BTW: 4.4? Anything left for that? :-) -- Bill
