Good grief! Learn something new every day. I guess I need to RTFM again
every few years to see what's changed.  :-P

Well, for a *long* time, the shell would react to them. Does it still? I
don't know. But on this machine

Since I'm an old user with old habits (which, as we know, die hard), I
still put them in, along with the '\;' at the end. If I get really
energetic (or maybe it's lazy?) I might invest the time and energy to
experiment and see what works here. Of course, then I'm setting myself
up to forget whether I'm on CentOS 4 or 5 (I don't use my 5 much yet) or
LFS or ... :-(

I think I'll stick with what works more "universally".

I assume drop, but I don't know for certain. I'm just using
system-config-securitylevel to configure it.

I did that, too. 631 is actively rejecting instead of dropping.

You don't think it helps to push scanning goons on to some other
server? Or to prevent any sort of attack? It seems logical to me
that dropping is less work for the box than doing anything
else. (?)

making the leap. I've not done IBM assembly since 1980s, but still
recall BALR 14, save area trace layout, "standard" register usage, etc.
In '78 I leaped wholeheartedly into *IX. Encountered the shell and
exclaimed "This is the way we should've been doing it".

If I may suggest, become *intimate* with the shell as a first step.
Focus on pipes (and FIFOs, although less frequently used) and "standard
I/O" handling with redirection capability. You'll see a lot of
"regexisms" in there too, but a better and more "standard" regular 
expression education will be given in other things you might look into.

Then, the various file utilities, like find, chmod, chown, ... would
accelerate your learning and enjoyment. Ditto for the text processing
utilities (although Bash has incorporated some of those functions) like
cut, paste, (e)grep.

If you still have the enthusiasm, C (and C++), (g)awk and some
relatively new-fangled (for me ;-)  ) thingy called Perl might have
interest for you.

Presuming that it is the data you really want and the file system meta-
data and overhead are irrelevant...

One of the respondents suggested tar, but I'm partial to cpio. Other
than that, it's pretty much as was suggested.

On the target machine, make a 10G file using dd with input of /dev/zero
and output of your file name. Then use the losetup command to associate
a loopback device with it. Then mke2fs on it, mount it and transfer the
files in, using a cpio via ssh instead of tar.

As another thought, what about resizing the target HD partition itself?
If resize2fs can be used, hda3 can then be reduced (just don't move the
starting point), an extended partition can be added and new logical
partitions installed (hda4 might have hda5, hda6, etc.).

This would have the advantage of no handstands, loopback files, etc. If
the target system has LVM, things get easier.

questions were far to general to get specific responses

There is no supported upgrade path for either RHL 9 or Fedora 4 to
CentOS but you certainly can use anaconda to do that by appending...

linux upgradeany

to the boot parameters of the CentOS 3/4/5 installer

You get to keep the pieces that are broken.

per info on Centos web site...
http://centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=43

CentOS 3.x is in maintenance updates only mode...hardly makes sense to
me to install this on anything UNLESS you have specific software that
will only run on 2.4 kernels

CentOS 4.x enters into maintenance updates only mode March 1st, 2008 -
not that far off

I don't know anything about 'perforce environment' and thus have nothing
to offer. Similarly, I haven't use squid for many years and likewise
dansguardian.

Apache/PHP/MySQL are all starting to show their age on CentOS-4.x but
thankfully, there is CentOS Plus repository for updated php & mysql but
if I were thinking in terms of updates that I didn't have to bother with
for a few years, I would certainly go all the way to CentOS 5

You might find some useful information here...

The cups service opens port 631, regardless of your firewall settings.
It then manually accepts or rejects connections.

I can second this.  I am in the process of migrating 5 research labs 
from Suse 10.0 to CentOS 5 (for various reasons).  The migration has 
been in testing phase for over 3 months and a lot of bugs have been 
found and corrected in that time.


A migration from any OS to another is a very tedious and time consuming 
step.  You will need to work on each part of the migration individually. 
 Start with the services that you are most familiar with or that you 
feel you could learn the quickest.


Setup a machine with CentOS 5 and begin testing that service.  When you 
are confident that said service is operating as it should, shift that 
service from the production server to your testing server.  Let it run 
there for a bit because chances are you'll find bugs and that will give 
you a chance to fail the service back over (if necessary) while you 
correct the issue.


Once you've gotten all the services over to the new box you'll be happy 
to know you did it the "right way" and that you've incurred the least 
amount of pain for you, your fellow workers who work with you and your 
users.


IMHO, you should spend a lot of time testing the Perforce migration, 
followed by your web services.  Migration of any SCM is a potentially 
complicated operation.  I haven't used Perforce before, but be careful.


Secondly, careful testing of your web services is crucial.  You'll most 
likely be upgrading version of Apache, PHP and libraries at the same 
time which can break things like backward compatibility. Samba depending 
on it's function within your institution would be a close third, if not 
a tie for number 2, but that's up to you.


The squid services are probably not all that complicated if they're only 
using a caching server (forward or reverse).


Of course, with proper software unit testing and a bit of elbow grease 
I'm sure it will all go over well.


There are various papers on best practices for OS migrations and various 
other system administrator task on the web just google for migration 
best practices and you'll find lots.

[CentOS] wget'ing files relative paths?

[Rogelio]

I'm trying to wget some very specific files off a web page, but some of the
paths are relative paths (e.g. ../path/to/file) rather than abosolute
(e.g. http://direct/path/to/file
). Obviously, when wget gets to that part, it craps out...
Is there a switch in wget (in CentOS 5 - latest wget package) that lets me
maintain this session?  I tried some of the options here
(http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/HTTP-Options.html
),
but it's not working, and I'm hoping someone here might point me in the
right direction.

I forgot to mention.  Document EVERYTHING!  It will often help you in

over and over and over again and coming up with the same results.  Not 
only that, but you'll be able to refer back to it in a case of system

For a coupla days I have been trying to follow these basic instructions so
that I can run a test.

http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ClamAVPlugin

Now, the issue I am running into is that I needed to get a file-scan-clamav
perm module in rpm

So I opened up browser and search for "file-scan-clamav perl dag rpm" and
found some choices

Eventually I end up with this file

http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/3851508/com/perl-File-Scan-ClamA
V-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm.html

then when I try to install it says I need perl-base so I search and goto

http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/perl-base/

now...

when I install perl-base and then goto install the file-scan-clamav rpm I
get this...

yum localinstall perl-File-Scan-ClamAV-1.8-1mud2007.0.noarch.rpm
Setting up Local Package Process

at this point, I was wondering what I specifically need to do.

So, I tried rebuilding perl-base and installing it yet it asked to be signed
so I have to figure that part out and if it will solve this.

Is that what the error is about in regards to perl-base >= 2:5.8.8

Or am I missing something else?

Dag, would you consider putting File::Scan::ClamAV rpm on your site please?

Thanks and kind regards!

RE: [CentOS] wget'ing files relative paths?

Subject: [CentOS] wget'ing files relative paths?


I'm trying to wget some very specific files off a web page, but
some of the paths are relative paths (e.g. ../path/to/file) rather than
abosolute (e.g. http://direct/path/to/file ). Obviously, when wget gets
to that part, it craps out... 
 
I am a little unsure on what you are trying to do...are you
mirroring a certain section of a website, and the relative paths are
causing problems? that would be pretty strange, because I am pretty sure
that i have done that before and not had any problems (just using wget
-m http://hostname/path/I/care/about/file.html).
 
or do you have a list of URL's you are trying to grab (say in a
file or something), that only have the relative paths? something like
this:
  http://direct/path/to/file1
  http://direct/path/to/file2
  http://direct/path/to/file3
  http://direct/path/to/file4
  ../../file5
  ../../file6
 
 
if possible, it would be great if you could show the exact
command line that you are using, along with the exact error message.
 
Is there a switch in wget (in CentOS 5 - latest wget package)
that lets me maintain this session?  I tried some of the options here (
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/HTTP-Options.html
 ),
but it's not working, and I'm hoping someone here might point me in the
right direction.

[CentOS] Package pxljr-1.1-1.i386.rpm (from kde.repo) is not signed

[Andrew Allen]

I'm trying to install the driver for an HP Colour Laserjet 3500 in
CentOS 5. I've installed the kde.repo (with appropriate priorities set
up), but when I try yum install pxljr-1.1-1.i386.rpm, I get the above
message that 'the package is not signed'. I've previously tried running
yum localinstall on the downloaded package with the same result. How do
I resolve this please?

We can see all the rules with:
iptables -nL

that would be pretty strange, because I am pretty sure that i have done that

http://hostname/path/I/care/about/file.html)."

Basically, I'd like to run this command:

wget (options to grab all the mp3s)
http://www.2600.com/offthehook/1988/1088.html

e.g.

wget -r -l3 -H -t1 -nd -N -np -A .mp3 -erobots=off
http://www.2600.com/offthehook/1988/1088.html
It's not working like it works on other websites (e.g. democracynow.org),
and I suspect it's because when you look through the source code (which I do
with "lynx -source"), I see that the mp3 files are ../../path/to/file.mp3
While I could just write a bash file to pick through the source code, piece
together a real path to the mp3 file, and then wget that, but I was hoping
to figure out the switch necessary to let me use wget properly.

The cups service opens port 631, regardless of your firewall settings.
It then manually accepts or rejects connections.



Yes but the firewall does affect whether packets can reach the cups 
service or not.

Huh, they finally removed the commands in the cups initscript that
punched a hole in the firewall. Never mind then.
