The problem with Fedora's OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 SRPM is that although the SPEC file says RHEL 4 it demands things like ant and other stuff which make your box like a Fedora 4 one. You also need to tweak the SPEC file. I'm surprised that Tripwire/Chkrootkit and Rkhunter are not in the CentOS Extras. They were originally in the redhat powertools/main CD and are useful even now. Most servers exposed to the internet run the risk of script kiddies catching them out before we've had a chance to patch our boxes. Ah yes something else i forgot about(which i build from upstream) was the fedora-rpm tools, which allow you to build rpm's as non-root. __________________________________ Yahoo! for Good - Make a difference this year. http://brand.yahoo.com/cybergivingweek2005/
