completely custom rpm's
by Tom Brown 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hi During a 'normal' install i have to add a bunch of users and modify some files such as DNS, Syslog, ssh key files etc While i can do this with a shell script post install it would be VERY neat to just have all these changes packaged up into an rpm and i can then just rpm -i this post install. Can i do this and if so can anyone point me to a how-to that would help me through the steps required. thanks

Problem generating SSL certificates
by mbneto 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hi, I am trying to generate client certificates (to use in internal web/email servers) but the process is aborting. I can generate the CA OK but when I try to generate the client... openssl ca -days 365 -out certs/xxxx.crt -in csr/xxx.csr -config ../tls/openssl.cnf Using configuration from ../tls/openssl.cnf Enter pass phrase for ../CA/private/cakey.pem: wrong number of fields on line 1 (looking for field 6, got 1, '' left) Any ideas? The openssl.cnf is the one that comes with the distro with the following modification: --- ../tls/openssl.cnf 2006-06-01 16:29:56.000000000 -0400 +++ ../tls/openssl.cnf.orig 2006-06-01 15:29:15.000000000 -0400 -dir = ../CA # Where everything is kept +dir = ../../CA # Where everything is kept Without the modification it simply complains about a missing file.

What is hald doing?
by Steve Snyder 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

The hald daemon is the second largest consumer of CPU time on my CentOS v4.3 system. Is there a way to determine what it is spending all this time on? Thanks.

Also, there should be no reason to stop/disable the firewall to stop these messages - I strongly recommend you re-enabled it ASAP.

Back-leveling error?
by Robert Moskowitz 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

This is all related to my struggles with Asterfax and libtiff. I rpm -U to libtiff 3.8.2 and I am still having troubles. So I decided to go back to libtiff 3.6.1 (oh and libtiff-devel that seems to be a prerec). So after a bit of playing that did not seem to do anything, I figured out to: rpm -U --oldprogram libtiff-3.6.1-8.i386.rpm libtiff-devel-3.6.1-8.i386.rpm and this seemed to work: rpm -q libtiff libtiff-3.6.1-8 But now things seem to be even more 'broken' if possible. Did I do the backleveling the right way? How do I check?

Conflict installing openssl.i386 with openssl.x86_64 on a x86_64 system
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Hi Everyone, I've got a system running CentOS 4 x86_64 and have some i386 packages (e.g. Firefox) installed, too. I knew when I started out that this wasn't ideal, but worked nonetheless. And, so far, it has. I'm (and my client) are happy! A couple of days ago I updated the server from U2 to U3 (it's not a public system, and runs some critical software...U3 couldn't go in right away). Everything appeared to be going well until it came time to install the updates, when yum barfed: Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man1/asn1parse.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 file /usr/share/man/man1/nseq.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 file /usr/share/man/man1/s_client.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 file /usr/share/man/man1/s_server.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 file /usr/share/man/man1/sslpasswd.1ssl.gz from install of openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8 Looks like the x86_64 and i386 openssl packages install their man pages to the same location. I was able to complete the update after excluding openssl. I'm not sure how other packages handle this, but it looks like a bug. However, I found a mail list thread where Karanbir or Johnny (not sure which one) indicated that this had been fixed. Well, the update is not going in for me, so something is fubar. Anyone else dealing with this? Is there a workaround or fix I'm not aware of? I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.16-1.2111_FC4 i686 GNU/Linux 17:22:25 up 10:52, 3 users, load average: 0.67, 0.55, 0.55

PCI-X Sata Raid Controller
by Bryan Shelton 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

Does anyone have any suggested PCI-X Sata Raid Controllers which are natively supported in Centos 4.3, the 2.6 kernel. I guess either with the new megaraid or aacraid drivers? Thanks for the help, Bryan Shelton

can't change login screen resolution
by Paul 22 Jun '06

22 Jun '06

After boot up, on the login screen, I can't seem to find how to change the resolution. I've have it set at one resolution after login for all users, but still, the login screen remains the same. It's a bit annoying because I get a warning message from my monitor of incorrect settings and sometimes it wacks out. I think the refresh rate is what is causing it. Thanks.
