Greetings, I'm a Fedora user likely going to switch to CentOS in the
next few days. I'm wondering if anyone has some heads up advice for
me? I am very familiar with FC6 and before so I anticipate few problems
I haven't already seen (and know were fixed).
The main reason for the move is so I
I'm setting up multiple systems and ideally I want the same package
configuration on all of them. So I'm going through yum and rpm queries
manually to try and get this done. There must be a better way. Is
there a way to use yum or rpm to configure multiple systems with the
same packages?
I
The GUI tool to set date time works great when your running X or
whatever, but what is it really doing in the background? How do I setup
automatic time synchronization from the command line?
Reference the GUI setup doc at:
http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/ch-dateconfig.ht
First,
I'd like to configure my system to forward ip, to act as a gateway for
my network. I've always used a script during startup to do this:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ${UPLINK} -j SNAT --to ${IP_NAT}
This works fine, however I want this perman
Excellent and very responsive answers, thank you everyone.

As I mentioned on this list before, I'm switching from Fedora 6 to Centos 5.
I'm setting up the mail server and on Fedora I used the milter rpms for
greylisting, spamassassin, mimedefant etc. However I don't see that
those are included with Centos? Is this true, or do my yum repositories

Running CentOS Linux 5 with sendmail-procmail putting email in

this same configuration on an older FC6 box and it works fine. I'm
thinking I just need
Fixed, upgraded to 1.0.10 from rpm at www.atrpms.net and running now.
Thank you for your support.

Sorry, not a direct CentOS question, but I know there's a lot of
experienced users on this list...I'm using CentOS with sendmail and
spamassassin. I've got it configured with spamass-milter and it is
working correctly. However, I was expecting to be able to reject mail
that is marked as spam,

There are milters for SpamAssassin. You can set them to reject mail at
a particular score level. So, if for instance you felt comfortable
with rejecting mail at a score of 10, which is pretty reliable, you
can also do that at smtp level.
BINGO That's exactly what I'm tryin
