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 17 Aug '05

17 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 17 Aug '05

17 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

(OT) Novell Community Offer; CentOS LUG; VMWare
by R P Herrold 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

There was some interest in the IRC channel on the latest Novell offering to the trade. This is interesting as it contains a full non-timebombed VMWare instance, in addition to the Novell technical offerings mentioned in the E-Mail below. Novell has announced a renewal of their periodic DVD sampler program -- feel free to indulge. Additionally, there was a offer some months directly from VMWare, to sell full current license electronic delivery VMWare instances for $100 to members of qualified LUG's. At the time the admins of Centos discussed the matter briefly of setting up a LUG (in electronic, rather than physical meeting form) and registering it with VMWare. I will explore with VMWare if there this program is still available, and report back. - Russ Herrold ----- Forwarded message from Linux Community <Linux_Community(a)novell.com> ----- From: "Linux Community" <Linux_Community(a)novell.com> To: "Brent Sharp" <BSHARP(a)novell.com> Subject: Novell Customer Community Latest Offer Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2005 16:23:54 -0600 I just wanted to let you know about the latest Technical Resource DVD offering we have put together for Linux User Groups.

Firefox and Java on CentOS 4.1
by John Logsdon 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

I need to run a Java-enabled Firefox on my CentOS4.1-powered laptop and it *was* running fine. Then yesterday I up2date'd the box and Firefox went from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6. And I lost Java. I can't seem to re-install it, whether from the original (1.5.0 I think it was) or the latest downloads. This is crucially important as I need to access my Dell RAC. Can anyone advise how to get Java back. At the moment, I have had to reboot my laptop into Redmond-ware :-((( TIA John John Logsdon "Try to make things as simple Quantex Research Ltd, Manchester UK as possible but not simpler" j.logsdon(a)quantex-research.com a.einstein(a)relativity.org +44(0)161 445 4951/G:+44(0)7717758675 www.quantex-research.com

Installing/Activating GUI for Server Settings
by Todd Cary 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

I did a minimal install and then with yum groupinstall, installed http, ftp and samba servers. However the gui server settings are not displayed for these servers. Is there a package that I need to install or do I need to change a setting(s) in a file? In reading "man yum" I did not see a way to find out what rpm's are installed with each group, or maybe I just did not understand the man pages. Can this be done?

[OT] Red Hat binary compatibility, from Red Hat Linux 4.0 to Fedora Core 3 (and RHEL4) ...
by Bryan J. Smith 17 Aug '05

17 Aug '05

I wrote part of a FAQ last November, and if you're interested in the breakdown of GCC, GLibC and kernel adoption since Red Hat Linux 4.0, you'll want to read this: http://www.geocities.com/thebs413/RH-Distribution-FAQ-3.html I've been loosely working on a "Linux Configuration Management" book covering Red Hat distributions since. I might update this FAQ if I have time, although my priorities have been elsewhere as of late. -- Bryan J.
