Hi folks,
A spammer is getting email addresses from the mailing list and sending people
an email saying he needs help. This is the classic advance free fraud.

Hi folks,
Normally people ask "when is CentOS 4.7 coming" and they are told "when it is
ready". Dag posted on his blog about it going to testing in July while it
was supposed to be syncing to the mirrors on Sept 5/6th according to
Karanbir.
Is there something going on behind the scenes? I have

Is CentOS your first introduction to Linux? You may need to cut your teeth
upstream on Fedora
Is there a step by step approach to securing CentOS 4X (or even RHEL 4X)? I
don't mean the stuff in the docs/security guide but a working step by step
guide? There used to be packages like rkhunter and tripwire but I don't know if
the ones in rpmforge/kbs repo are up to date.
Thanks,
Josh.

The NSA guide (rhel5-guide-i731.pdf) looks like a good starting point.

Use yum. Apt4rpm, Up2date used to work back in the day but that is long ago..

CentOS 4 is based on Fedora Core 3 which at the time used
apt4rpm. Why didn't it make its way to RHEL 4, while yum
made its way to RHEL 5?

Enough time has been wasted on the DKIM thread so I'm not reading the main

client? I'm not
On a CentOS 4 desktop Yumex gives the error message
"Error in loading repository data" but yum works fine
from the cli. Could something have been broken in
yumex? Putting yumex in debug mode does not give me
clues as to the error message.
Thanks,
Josh
It looks like it could be this bug http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2549
meaning yumex has been broken on CentOS 4.X for quite some time.
Thanks,
Josh.
