I think merely documenting a way of how to add standard package lists would suffice. I remember there was a long, drawn-out set of threads on the Fedora-devel lists about such -- and it really came down to the simple matter that it's not too difficult to add new package lists. -- Bryan J.

List of users on system
by Lee W 13 May '05

13 May '05

Hey All, Does anyone know of a way of getting a list of all the users on a system though PAM. I know that I could just list the /etc/passwd file but I'm trying to write something that is more generic and will also work for NIS or LDAP (etc) lookups. I suppose it is probably unlikely to be there as it is probably a security risk. I need to globally update the password aging settings (which I can do though chage/passwd) on existing accounts. Thanks in advance Regards Lee

I have had my server freeze twice (under moderate load) and give the same error in my /var/log/messages. Or, if it is not related, does anyone have any ideas what might be causing my server to freeze (hard reboot needed to bring it back up).

firstboot? CentOS 3.4
by Ken Godee 13 May '05

13 May '05

What's the best way around "firstboot" ? "firstboot" hung my machine and had to blown it up to get past it. If you bypass firstboot, what other config settings is one missing? I found the following info.... ==================================================================== # Booting without Internet Connection / Stuck on RedHat Registration during First Bootup This problem is caused by a package called firstboot. This package runs during the first boot of the machine to do some additional configurations that require your input. While most of these configuration tasks do not require a network connection, the Registration section does. The following steps will turn off firstboot: 1. Reboot your machine 2. When the grub screen displays, hightlight the line to boot RedHat Enterprise and type "e" 3. Next Hightlight the line that starts with kernel type "e" 4. Add " -s" to the end of the line and press <Enter> key. 5. Type "b" 6. Once the machine finishes booting you should have a root shell prompt that looks like sh-2.05# 7. At the shell prompt, type: chkconfig --del firstboot 8. Finally, type shutdown -r now which will reboot your machine ==================================================================== While at the console prompt should one also just uninstall the rhn-applet rpm as well? Maybe I missed some notes somewhere on this or just shouldn't worry about it and just bomb around it?????? I also noticed right after installing and logging in level 5 that it seemed that after choosing to log out, that it wouldn't log out. There appeared to be the rhn-applet running in the background holding things up. Maybe I'm just hallucinating, I've installed 3.x several times now and don't remember running into this, or have forgotten.

centos + kswapd0 error
by mbeltran＠americatel.com.sv 13 May '05

Hi all I have a box with Centos 4 and qmail with all pathches. since Last month i have had twice the same problem. The process kswapd0 uses all my resources of CPU and RAM memory and the consequence is that my local queue grow up and the box go slow too. The first time i guess the problem was the version of the kernel, so i did an upgrade form kernel.i686 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL to kernel.i686 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL apparently the problem was solved but today the problem came again. The following snapshot shows the situation: top - 10:53:48 up 16 days, 20:05, 1 user, load average: 119.27, 116.16, 114.33 Tasks: 528 total, 13 running, 515 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 5.4% us, 89.4% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.3% id, 4.8% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.1% si Mem: 2075012k total, 2073404k used, 1608k free, 71056k buffers Swap: 4192924k total, 4192924k used, 0k free, 36380k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 60 root 17 0 0 0 0 D 75.4 0.0 585:22.79 kswapd0 2164 root 15 0 1736 484 432 S 31.0 0.0 31:57.07 couriertcpd 16334 vpopmail 19 0 2660 804 668 R 24.7 0.0 0:01.69 imapd 2158 root 15 0 3264 488 432 S 23.4 0.0 1:17.51 couriertcpd 32608 apache 16 0 21604 8440 3016 R 15.5 0.4 1:38.09 httpd 15284 vpopmail 18 0 4384 1032 760 R 14.9 0.0 0:08.32 vdelivermail I really do not know what thing should i do for solve this problem thanks in advance Mario
