You installed the complete MailScanner package which installs lots of "not so good" perl packages which either are not necessary (including this one) or can be fetched from rpmforge. Remove that BigInt package and all shoulkd be well. And do not install the complete MailScanner package when you do your next upgrade, install only the mailscanner*.rpm.

Re: [CentOS] Emergency rescue help needed
Personally, I find this UPS exploding paranoia rather ridiculous. One person has one UPS burst into flames and everyone is yelling the sky is falling. We have no idea what conditions the UPS had been subjected to and to then jump to the conclusion that all UPS's are bombs waiting to explode is just insane. We've been using UPS's for years and years and the worst we've had are batteries that got swollen to the point we had to use a crowbar to get them out of the UPS. We then replaced the battery and had years more use out of the UPS. We've purchased used UPS's at government auctions, replaced the batteries, and had years of service out of them. All our UPS's are APC. We have and have used a wide range of sizes, from 250VA to 3000VA, Backup's to SmartUp's. I've used/tried other brands, but haven't been as satisfied with them. APC isn't perfect, they've made some stupid mistakes, but I've been more satisfied with them than the others we've tried. Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)

No. It might break your Perl, though, if it overwrote anything from Perl.
In that case you want to reinstall Perl.

Believe me. I've been using MailScanner since long on many systems and
also on CentOS since I changed to CentOS in 2004 or so.
>

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. The point is: Perl in CentOS has quite
a few "packages" that come with MailScanner already built-in. There is
*no* need to replace them with what comes with MailScanner. These should
remain as is.
In other words: you only need to add those packages which are really
missing (from rpmforge). All the "packages" that are built-in should not
be "upgraded" at all. This are the following packages:
perl-bignum
perl-File-Spec
perl-File-Temp
perl-Getopt-Long
perl-IO
perl-Math-BigRat
perl-Test-Harness
perl-Test-Simple
which means you do:
yum install perl-Convert-BinHex perl-Convert-TNEF perl-Convert-BinHex
perl-Convert-TNEF perl-DBD-SQLite perl-Filesys-Df perl-IO-stringy perl-
MIME-tools perl-Net-CIDR perl-OLE-Storage_Lite perl-Pod-Escapes perl-Pod-
Simple perl-Test-Pod perl-Time-HiRes
with rpmforge enabled and then install mailscanner*.rpm (and not use
install.sh!). That's all.
There is another solution for you. You can use the repo by Hugo van der
Kooiy who has taken a lot of effort to workaround these problems. You can
either install his "mailscanner-wrapper" or his "mailscanner" package.
mailscanner will only install the necessary additional packages.
mailscanner-wrapper will install a few extra packages ("updates") that
were built by Hugo in a way that they don't conflict with the built-in
files.

[CentOS] udev by-id symlinks randomly missing for tape drives on centos5
Hello! I'm having problems with udev /dev/tape/by-id/ symlinks.. it seems symlinks to tape drives are sometimes (randomly) missing after reboot. Server in question has IBM TS3200 tape library connected with 2 drives in it.. so /proc/scsi/scsi shows 3 devices: 2 tape drives, and 1 medium changer (tape library). So I should have 3 symlinks in /dev/tape/by-id/ directory.. 2 symlinks to tape drives, and 1 symlink to mediumchanger/tapelibrary. Running 'udevtrigger' _sometimes_ creates the missing links, and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes if all the symlinks are there to begin with, and you run 'udevtrigger', some of the tape drive symlinks might get removed too.. The symlink for the mediumchanger seems to be there always though.. Has anyone seen this behaviour? How to fix it? Whenever I run 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi' I can see all of the devices listed there. IBM 'itdt' tape drive / tapelibrary diagnostic tool works OK too, and always shows all the devices. I don't have any errors in the dmesg/syslog, and the devices work OK if I use /dev/nst* (tape drives) or /dev/sg* (mediumchanger/tapelibrary) devicenames to access them. I'd like to be able to use /dev/tape/by-id/ symlinks to make sure correct devices are accesssed. The server in question is running CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (with latest updates installed).

[CentOS] card reader issue
I have never done anything with a card reader before so I have no idea what I'm doing here. I have a laptop with a card reader in it and when I put the card in I see this in /var/log/messages: Feb 5 13:28:58 localhost pcscd: winscard.c:304:SCardConnect() Reader E-Gate 0 0 Not Found This comes up many times in the log.

[CentOS] squid HA failover?
I'm running a pair of squids as an internal cache for some intermediate data used by a web server farm and currently doing failover by going through an F5 bigip. However, I'd like to avoid the bigip and use heartbeat since there are only two machines. I don't need to sync any content since it is a fast-changing cache and either machine can handle everything. Is it possible to add a floating IP with heartbeat and cut over to it slowly while also still using the existing IP's on that subnet? The documentation I've seen implies that it is bad to use the real IP's. If heartbeat can't do this, would it work to use vrrp? -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

What they do where you work, IMHO, is what should be done. I don't think what Frank wrote they do for him, weigh them and put a sticker on, if they appear to be OK, is the way to go.

[CentOS] Security update missing - kernel-2.6.18-128.el5
Please, do not delay this "Important" multiple security update. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0225.html for more info. This update is "5.3" kernel but has been released as security update too. RHN pushed this kernel one day ahead of rest of 5.3 packages (on my servers). RH maintains API and ABI (!) compatibility so there is no problem to use this kernel AFAIK. So please, do not delay it anymore, this contains multiple security vulnerabilities fixed since 2009-01-20.

We have a lot of other equipment behind it and I want the capacity for growth in the other pools. I agree it does a good job and is hard to match where you need balancing, but this only needs failover. > I use load balancers wherever possible even with 1 machine > so I can make changes to the system(s) in the pool without > impact. e.g. if I want to replace hardware, I can install the > new hardware, add it to the pool and remove the old system. > Of course it's ideal to always have at least 2.

Tru's right. It not only depends on ecryptfs-utils but other new
packages. It's right it builds fine, but finally depends on a lot of new
modules. Some:
%define kernel_dot_org_conflicts ppp < 2.4.3-3, isdn4k-utils < 3.2-32,
nfs-utils < 1.0.7-12, e2fsprogs < 1.37-4, util-linux < 2.12, jfsutils <
1.1.7-2, reiserfs-utils < 3.6.19-2, xfsprogs < 2.6.13-4, procps <
3.2.5-6.3, oprofile < 0.9.1-2
%define package_conflicts initscripts < 7.23, udev < 063-6, iptables <
1.3.2-1, ipw2200-firmware < 2.4, selinux-policy-targeted < 1.25.3-14,
ecryptfs-utils < 44, cpuspeed < 1.2.1-5
Milan, you can try yourself testing kernel here:

I'd like to point out one thing. I do want to thank to Centos developers
they have changed update build process. Even that there is 5.3 rebuild
process ongoing, they are releasing security updates for C{3,4,5} and I
like it. This is a new behavior, because every time they had been
rebuilding new distro version, security updates process got stucked. So,
thank you Pasi and Tru.
