Starting a process at a specified nice value.
by CentOS-List＠jamesplace.net 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

I wonder if someone could point me to the appropriate docs for my question? If I would like to cause my system to always start 'smbd' processes at priority 7 for example, how would I go about doing that. I'm assuming there's a better way than running a cronjob every minute to renice existing processes. I'd appreciate some help pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.

problems with AMD
by Juan F. Arribillaga 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Hello, i have a Pc AMD Sempron 2.6 and I downloaded Centos v4.1 to install as a Server. When I install the version 4.1 i386 the linux installation says "abnormally exited, you must safe reboot your machine". There aren't no compatibility between Centos 4.1 and AMD Sempron Processor? How can I install sempron in this machine? Version? Thanks, Juan Fracisco <mailto:juanarribillaga@speedy.com.ar> juanarribillaga(a)speedy.com.ar Argentina

Die, KDE! Die! (Sticking with Gnome and Yum Conflicts)
by Dave Gutteridge 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Okay, I experimented with both KDE and Gnome, and decided I'd rather use Gnome. After making this decision, I wanted to remove KDE, because I like to keep my hard drive as lean as possible. I accomplished this, or so I thought, by running: # yum groupremove "KDE (K Desktop Environment)". It seemed to work. Removed a whole bunch 'o stuff. Okay, but then I wanted to install k3B, the CD burning software, which I'm led to believe is designed for KDE, but runs in Gnome. I did a YUM install and got the following error: [root@localhost ~]# yum install k3b Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos dag 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 kbs-CentOS-Extras 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 kbs-CentOS-Misc 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files dag : ################################################## 2471/2471 kbs-CentOS: ################################################## 1210/1210 kbs-CentOS: ################################################## 60/60 update : ################################################## 95/95 base : ################################################## 1406/1406 extras : ################################################## 32/32 Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

One of our guys made that mistake last week, and wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why it was panicking. Hi guys, Thanks for replying. I am sure that my machine is an IA64 and not x86_64. The hardware is HP rx4610 running Itanium 1 processor and not Itanium 2. I tried booting from both pxe and CD. Both gave the same error. The error message is " kernel panic - not syncing : Fatal exception" This error comes out after "running /sbin/loader " message during boot up.

RE: [CentOS] Strange TCP ports phenomena

Sounds like exactly what you're seeing, I know our watchguard firebox proxies FTP connections so it looks like every box has FTP installed even if they don't. -Drew -----Original Message----- From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Scot L.

If you are using something like http://www.grc.com to scan from the Internet you are probably getting a response from the router/firewall in front of your server not from the server itself. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Create driver disk for Centos 4
by Fong Vang 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Could someone provide the steps to create a driver disk for CentOS 4? I found some documentation describing steps to create one for CentOS 3 but I think it's slightly different since CentOS 4 uses the 2.6 kernel. Any help is appreciated.

Strange TCP ports phenomena
by Dominik Składanowski 18 Aug '05

18 Aug '05

Hello list. I have new server on CentOS 4.1 - fresh installation. During security tests I've noticed: When I scan server ports (nmap) from the outside there is 21 tcp port open. But when I check on the server (netstat -tan or lsof -i) there is no any open 21 tcp port. Any ideas? To be honest I'm confused. Regards P.S.: of course I don't have started FTP service. Even I don't have installed FTP server. -- ____________________________________________________________________ D o m i n i k S k ł a d a n o w s k i
