Hi Tim,

To migrate the DNS server, ideally the steps as follows,

   - Provision the new server and setup as the secondary DNS server
   - Sync the zones
   - Reduce the TTL of the nameservers
   - Change the new server to primary
   - Change the glue DNS records (from domain registrar panel - if
   applicable)
   - Let the old server running for few days and monitor for any traffic

Hi Peter

One of my old HP DL585 had a similar issue but it turned out that the DIMM
slots were at fault. The server chassis had few led blinking red for those
DIMM slots and indicating that they are faulty. I removed the memory from
those slot and re-inserted them to the spare DIMM slots and everything is
working fine since then.

Hi NIck, you need to MASQUERADE the packets in the POSTROUTING chain.
Something like the following

$ iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

I'm just not sure about if forwarding the packets to two separate hosts
will work.
I haven't tried that myself. It'll be good to know if this works for you.

Many thanks

Hi Mike

Can you run sshd manually in debugging mode and paste the output please:
$ /usr/sbin/sshd -d

It's worth looking at the output of strace that may help here:
$ strace /usr/sbin/sshd

-V

Re: [CentOS] Patch Management Server in CentOS 5

2012-10-30 Thread Vipul Agarwal
Hi Kaushal,

You may use a Spacewalk server to manage packages for multiple centos
servers. It works pretty well for centos 5.
