Re: [Centos] Regarding postfix dep for redhat-lsb
by cweisiger＠i-55.com 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

ok i checked the spec file and it has the path: Requires: /usr/sbin/groupdel Requires: /usr/sbin/groupmod Requires: /usr/sbin/sendmail <------- SENDMAIL mentioned here On my production server: I have the following: a symbolic link to the sendmail which qmail uses: sendmail -> /var/qmail/bin/sendmail I guess I could edit the SPEC file and remove the sendmail line, correct? or edit it in a way that it checks for either the symlink or the regular link for people who might be using qmail as there prefered mail system.

by j p 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Apologies for the cross-posting to CentOS list (already mailed to OpenVPNlist).. am using OpenVPN [ http://openvpn.sf.net ] on CentOS 3.4 and having some issues.. it may possibly be an OpenVPN issue, but thought if anyone on this list is using or had any similar issues or have any thoughts.. TIA ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2005 11:26:22 -0700 Subject: resend with updates: OpenVPN on CentOS(RHES clone) and Fedora Core3..some strange things To: Openvpn-users(a)lists.sourceforge.net below is my original posting with the issue I have been having.. couple of updates (alas, I still have the problem/issue)..please help..anyone..anyone..thanx 1. rebuilt the CentOS box/applied latest patches..(clone of RHES 3.0) 2. snagged 2.0 rc7 openvpn and compiled (this time pointing to already centos installed openssl RPMs/files) http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6328352&forum_id=8453 this time, I even generated the server certs on CentOS itself.. 3. same issue, OpenVPN doesn't respond aftrer in production for a day..I don't see any log activity that stands out..note, I am using TCP instead of UDP.. 4. only reboot is fixing this issue.. 5. anyone successfully using OpenVPN on RedhatEnterprise 3.x or any clones of it with out any issue? TIA ====my original posting to the list===== Greetings folks, env: 1. servers on OVPN 2.0 rc6 on FC3 and CentOS 3.3(clone of RHES 3.0 with updt3), with all latest updates..Clients are all XP SP2. using TUN on servers/clients.. 2. using in routed config, custom certs all generated on FC3 and copied/replicated on to centos box. 3. use diff ip/netwok for "server" (in server config file) directive for obvious reasons..both OVPN servers are serving the same corp/office network.. 4. using TCP instead of UDP. 5. same setof "iptables" firewall rulesets.. here is the strange thing.. OVPN on FC3 seems to work with out any issues, but the one on CentOS box does not respond, after in production for a while..I have to reboot for it to start responding..my verbose logs don't show anything..it's like, there is not even a connection being established..I have ruled out network issues etc.. external IP's on both hosts are valid and accessable, while OpenVPN on 443 port gets hung or doesn't respond on CentOS host...(i run it on TCP 443)... am getting a little tired of rebooting centos box. i guess I could cron the reboot, but I would like to find the root cause..anyone seen this issue?

RE: [Centos] bind and 3.4
by Holmes, Brent 12 Jan '05

Heads up if anyone removes the caching-nameserver rpm after they fix their init scripts and replace their named.conf, it also renames your named.ca to named.ca.rpmsave( I believe this happens when you uninstall the caching-nameserver rpm, it also moves named.conf back to named.rpmsave again). So you have to move that back before you can successfully restart named.

The purpose of caching-nameserver is to setup a "caching-only-DNS" box ... the only way to setup a "caching-only-DNS" box is to remove the current named.conf file and replace it with a new one that defines it as a "caching-only-DNS" box :) The lesson learned is ... once you setup your box as a DNS zone control box, backup the named.conf file and remove the package caching-nameserver ... OR ... don't install it in the first place. My guide has been updated to remove the caching-nameserver package after finishing zone setup :). -- Johnny Hughes <http://www.HughesJR.com/> _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS(a)caosity.org http://lists.caosity.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

CentOS-3 i386 errata : caching-nameserver 3.4 update causes problems
by Lance Davis 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

I have removed the updated caching-nameserver from the core OS repo of CentOS 3.4 i386 as there have been reports of nameservers losing their configuration and stopping when the update was applied. I have reverted caching-nameserver in the 3.4 core OS back to the CentOS 3.3 version caching-nameserver-7.2-7.noarch.rpm. The new version caching-nameserver-7.3-3_EL3.noarch.rpm is now in the testing repo of 3.4. The new version is still in the .isos but it should be safe for new installs. Lance

Postfix dep for redhat-lsb rpm
by Chris Weisiger 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Is it possible to eliminate the postfix dep that is required to update to the latest redhat-lsb rpm when upgrading to 3.4 can i just download the source and remove the postfix dep and rebuild, and update the redhat-lsb rpm on my system. i dont think that the post fix dep was there when i updated to 3.3 from 3.1

The new CentOS3.4 version
by cweisiger＠i-55.com 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Im glancing through my email from the mailing list and noticed a lot of talk about centos3.4. When will it be released officially. I have read somewhere that RH is releasing RHEL 4 pretty soon....Im in no need to upgrade because my system is rather stable..just trying to get a idea of what is going on....I know i should be keeping up with the list...but it gets complicated at times. I know j. hughes is building a beta test of 3.4...Im just curious as to if if (cent3.4) is a quarterly update like going from 3.1 to 3.3 or is it a major release as will 3.4 be the same as RHEL4.
