w stopped working after upgrading procps
by Chris Croome 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Hi I have just installed a lot of updates on a CentOS 4 box and w appears to have stopped working -- this machine has 3 or 4 people connected via ssh, yet this is all that is outputted: # w 20:46:32 up 301 days, 3:21, 0 users, load average: 0.02, 0.03, 0.04 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT "rpmverify procps" returns nothing so the package hasn't been messed with. I don't want to reboot the server -- does any have any suggestions what could be done to get w working again? Thanks Chris -- Chris Croome <chris(a)webarchitects.co.uk> web design http://www.webarchitects.co.uk/ web content management http://mkdoc.com/

OT - Samba 3.0.22 Security Update
by Mike Stankovic 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

For those who have the 3.0.21b or 3.0.21c, Samba 3.0.22 was released as a security update (about a week ago). (I just saw someone on the centos list with 3.0.21c so i thought I'd post this announcement for all others.) The downside to getting non-distro updates from upstream is that you are responsible for watching out for security releases. For those with the CentOS version (samba-3.0.10-1.4E.6) it already includes all available errata. Official Announcement from samba.org:- Security Release: Samba 3.0.22 Available for Download This is a security release of Samba. The Samba 3.0.21 release series (including the patch releases a through c) has been discovered to expose the clear text of the server's machine account credentials in the winbind log files when the log level is set to 5 or higher. Details can be found in the online release notes or in the original security announcement for CAN-2006-1059. The Samba 3.0.22 source code can be downloaded now. The GnuPG signature for the uncompressed tarball is also available. If you prefer to download just the diff from 3.0.21c to 3.0.22, the patch file (gpg signature) is also available. Precompiled packages for Fedora Core 4, RedHat 9, all SuSE Linux products, and Solaris are available in the Binary_Packages download area. Packages for other platforms will be available shortly. ----------------------------------------------- Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the faq/etiquette.

06 Apr '06

Hi; On my Fedora Systems [/etc/yum.repos.d] I have the following repos: dag.repo dries.repo fedora-extras.repo fedora.repo fedora-updates.repo freshrpms.repo livna.repo Two questions: 1) Where can I get a .repo file (with centos url's of course) for the baseic stuff like updates and extras. 1b) Can I use redhat repos? 2) What about the other guys, livna, dag, dries, freshrpms. Which one of these is safe to use on a production server in conjunction with the repos used in answer to question 1 above? 2b Are the url's the same? Thank you all. nat, a centos newbie.

CentOS 3.6 yum update signiture question
by mrrs 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Greetings all - I just downloaded the 3.6 isos, and installed them. I had no problems on the install. When I did a yum -y update to catch everything up, it ran for a while, then I got the following error message: ------- Downloading Packages warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 025e513b Error: Could not find the GPG Key necessary to validate pkg /var/cache/yum/update/packages/netpbm-devel-9.24-11.30.4.i386.rpm Error: You may want to run yum clean or remove the file: /var/cache/yum/update/packages/netpbm-devel-9.24-11.30.4.i386.rpm Error: You may also check that you have the correct GPG keys installed [root@susan root]# ------- I ran yum clean and deleted the file as suggested, with no change. Does this file use a different key than the others? Is there something else I need to download to make this work? Thank you for your assisstance... markus __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

YUM Plugins: I seem to be "unplugged"?
by William L. Maltby 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

Have followed all instructions, googled and read Johnny's November post, went to Duke (not physically, web-spherically, although it's only 45 minutes away),... and still can't see how I have protectbase operational. Installed: [root@wlmlfs08 ~]# yum -C --disablerepo=rpmforge list|grep yum centos-yumconf.noarch 4-4.5 installed yum.noarch 2.4.2-2.centos4 installed yum-plugin-fastestmirror.noarch 0.2.4-3.c4 installed yum-utils.noarch 0.5-1.c4 installed yumex.noarch 0.99.11-1.0.c4 installed Haven't been able to find a protect base python plugin from CentOS, although I clearly recall it being said that CentOS supported it and the fastest mirrors. Need to get it from the Duke plugin web page? Or what did I do wrong? TIA -- Bill

CentOS FastTrack repository
by Johnny Hughes 06 Apr '06

06 Apr '06

The upstream provider has started a new channel called fastrack. It is detailed here (see the whole thread): https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2006-April/msg00001.html CentOS will also build the fastrack SRPMS. We have created separate repositories in CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 called fasttrack. (I know the spelling is different, that is by design. We don't want to use the name of the upstream provider's program. Same as our use of CSGFS for Cluster Suite / Global File System, and not the upstream acronyms.) The purpose of the CentOS-FastTrack repo is to provide Bugfix and Enhancement updates for people who choose to do these updates BETWEEN the point releases. For example, there are currently 7 SRPMS that have been built for the CentOS-4 fasttrack repo ... they are here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/fasttrack/SRPMS/ These changes (or maybe newer ones for those packages) will be rolled into the CentOS-4.4 when the time comes. What fasttrack will do is level out the update cycle for those who want to do bugfix and enhancement updates that way ... the packages are fully tested and part of the CentOS tree. If you want to get the latest bugfix and enhancement updates as soon as they are available, you can use the fasttrack repo. If you want your bugfix and enhancements to happen exactly as they do now (at point release time), don't use the fasttrack repo. Security updates will continue to happen as they do now. ------------------ To enable the fasttrack repo for CentOS-4, save this .repo file: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/fasttrack/CentOS-fasttrack.repo to your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. ---------------- To enable fasttrack for CentOS-3, you will need to add an entry in your /etc/yum.conf file. See this Readme for instructions on that entry: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/3/fasttrack/Readme.txt Before anyone asks ... CentOS-3.7 is in progress; therefore, the CentOS-3 fasttrack repo is currently not populated. If will be populated shortly after CentOS-3.7 is released. --------------- CentOS does not CONTAIN the upstream provider's product and is not affiliated in any way with the upstream provider or their products. CentOS is built from publicly available, open source SRPMS. If you have any questions ... see these links: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=2 http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=13 --------------- Thanks, Johnny Hughes
