IP Problems - Address won't stick on reboots!
by Scott Heisler 12 Jun '05

12 Jun '05

Centos 4.0 P4 Dual Xeon 2gig Ram One 100mb NIC The problem is that the nic won't hold a fixed IP address. What I mean is that if I refresh it, after booting up by typing "ifdown eth0" and then "ifup eth0" - it then reflects the correct IP address. However, it won't 'have' and IP address upon boot. Also, it seems to hang on the logger service starting up. It sits there attempting to start logger for like 3-4 minutes (timed!). I suspect this problem is most likely related to the IP problem. I've tried moving the network connection to a dedicated HUB and still no luck. What is the correct config file to edit to set the IP address correctly? I tried editing the one in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts - but that didn't fix my problem. Thanks. Scott

The file to edit is /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 It should look something like this. You should edit it with your settings DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=xxx.xxx.xx.255 HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx IPADDR=xxx.xx.xx.xxx NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=xxx.xxx.xx.0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet Thom van der Boon E-Mail: Thom.van.der.Boon(a)vdb.nl ===== Thom.H. van der Boon b.v.

Error when clicking on link>>text error correction
by Dick Roth 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

I meant to say that I left my home directory intact so I would _not_ have to re-option, etc... Good Morning-- Since installing CentOS4 the other day, I've had trouble with Thunderbird 1.02 when attempting to click on a link within an email. Rather than opening a tab in Firefox 1.0.4, I get an error message: "Error showing url: There was an error launching the default action command associated with this location." When I installed CentOS, I left my home directory intact so I would have to re-option apps I had already been using. Has anyone else had this problem...and found a cure? I did check the archives, but didn't stumble upon anything useful. Thank, Dick -- Pithy saying goes here: (future). _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] WEP and CentOS 4

From: Maciej ?enczykowski <maze(a)cela.pl> > Hey, > Don't bother with it, WEP can be broken (cracked) in 5 minutes > (with easily available and freely downloadable soft) and in my > experience all WEP really achieves is slows down the link (my > 2xIWE1100 bridge runs at 550kB/s without WEP and 100kB/s with WEP). The idea, as always, is to make yourself a smaller target than the next guy. As always, standard: - No SSID broadcast - No Open System access - MAC filtering - WEP - Always VPN Use WPA/802.1x if you've got it. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

upgrade from fedora to centos?
by Ian mu 11 Jun '05

11 Jun '05

Hiya, just wondering how easy this would be, I'm guessing through yum, but is there a preferable process from updating from fed core 3 to centos ideally keeping settings as is? (desktop rather than server, just want to migrate to centos, nothing too essential apart from raw data). Ian

by israel.garcia＠cimex.com.cu 11 Jun '05

List, I have the two servers CentOS 4.0 (running postfix, mailscanner) on this hardware: HP netserver 2000, PIII - 1GHz, 512 ram, two Hdd SCSI - 36 GB (RAID 1), I have monitored this server for a couple of months and I've seen that the memory used is increasing every week until it reaches all available memory and the server crashes.... at this point mailscanner crashes or sometimes the server gets freezed....my question is? Is this a memory leak? I 've always used this combination (mailscanner, postfix on Whitebox) and never got a problem, but when I upgrade my system to CentOS (kernel 2.6) this problem began.. can you help me? regards Israel
