The last round of updates to 10.04 changed the initrd image, which I wasn't expecting. How do I check the updates to make sure that this is in fact the expected behavior? I.e., how do I go back and check which updates were supposed to have been installed, check what was actually installed, and see which one modified the initrd and why?

I'm running CentOS 5.4 and noticed that for the past month there haven't been any new updates showing up either on 'yum check-update' or 'yum update' (I'm interested in basic and security updates). Although this may be right, I wonder if there is an online reference where I can check the updates that are released for CentOS (security bulletins) and make sure if there is anything wrong with my update system.

I know I can install updates using apt-get install updates but is there a way to check to see if updates are available without installing them?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to Fedora 15 from Fedora 14 using preupgrade. Most of the applications are working fine. But I am finding now that the OS does NOT check for updates. I am having to manually do the update each time although it is set to check for updates daily.
However, when I manually update using the code (below), it works fine.
Code:
yum update
I have been forbidden to enable automatic updates on our Ubuntu servers, for both security and regular packages.When I log into any of my four Ubuntu servers, the welcome message contains this:
39 packages can be updated.
26 updates are security updates.
However, when I run the Nagios plugin that monitors APT, I get:
% /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_apt
APT WARNING: 33 packages available for upgrade (0 critical updates).
I need to know how to properly detect that there are pending security updates, and regular updates. Once I can do that, I plan to write a Nagios script that will return WARNING for pending regular updates, and CRITICAL for pending security updates.
Starting with Ubuntu Server 9.04, when I log in at times the OS smartly reports the number of updates available. I have a couple of questions of how to extend this functionality:
1) How could I back-port that functionality to 8.04 servers? Does that happen somewhere in the /etc/cron.daily/apt script? (Just the checking on # of packages needing updates, does not need to appear on the login screen.)
2) Then with that information, if the number >0 then use mailx to send admins an email. Since 9.04 and higher already do the first item, then in my mind #2 is the only thing needed for 9.04 and higher servers, and #1 is also needed for 8.04 boxes.

Is there a command that generates a report or allows me to check if certain updates has been patched? I understand running a yum update will list all applicable patches. Should we just simply update all or only certain applications applicable to our organization environment?

if i am having say 10 number of linux machine over the network and want to setup password free SSH in round robin fashion means ssh from any machine to either machine. one way to do is generate the public key on every machine and put on other machine. is there any other shorter and simple way to do it?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large amout of data (several GB) on a remote drive, that is transparently mounted via nfs. I'd like to copy these files into a subdirectory of where they are already residing, so everything stays on the same physical disk. For that reason, I would like to prevent an unnecessary round trip over the network.
It seems that cp files* subdir does the naive thing and reads all the data into memory and then writes it back. Is that true? Is there a special command that does the actual copying entirely on the server the disk is physically connected to?
Can anyone recommend a good all round flatbed scanner, (for 11.3)?Main use would be for document scanning, but should be able to cope with photos occasionally.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to configure my Red Hat server to use port bonding for two interfaces going to a switch, and I followed this redhat guide [URL]...-redhat-server but when I attempt to bring the bond up, it simply uses mode 0 (round robin) instead of mode 1, which I specifically configured in /etc/modprobe.conf by doing
Code:
options bond0 mode=1
Any ideas why the bond would continue to use round robin when I set it to active-backup?
Here is the senario...
2 round robin dns servers
x.x.x.1 mydomain.com (hostname)
x.x.x.2 mydomain.com (hostname)
My problem is that when I try and send an email that is part of the domain, it ends up trying to deliver it locally. I realize it is supposed to, but I don't want that for non-users of the server.
I want to be able to deliver certain emails []@mydomain.com remotely. (info@mydomain.com)
exim4 setup "internet site; mail is sent and received directly using SMTP". This works well as long as it is not an email from mydomain.com.
Is there a way to have exim check the users first and then deliver based on local user or not?
Next question. Is having the domain name as the hostname the best way to setup a round robin? (web server)
So we have DNS round robin set up for 4 servers. If we ping dns name (basically an alias) server_connect it resolves with different IP address in round robin format. I.E. x.x.x.1 x.x.x.2 for the 4 different server IP addresses. When we do nslookup server_connect it will come back first time as server1_connect server2_connect through server4_connect so the server is able to resolve through ping and nslookup resolving the initial dns name (alias) to the dns name associated in the round robin. Problem is when we try to connect with http or telnet it comes back host unrecognized. I can put one of the 4 round robin servers in /etc/hosts and it connects fine so I'm thinking that either one of three things.
1) ttl
2) It does double connection first to identify itself to the round robin server and then handshake but second time it hits for the handshake the IP and dns name is different than what it expected so it fails.
3) Since we are trying to telnet to dns alias and it is returning different dns name it fails.
2 and 3 seem most promising but now I'm at a stand still.Anyone else come across this issue and if so how did you resolve.
Is there any tools in linux same as "http-ping. This tool shows for any request :
1-The HTTP return code (and its brief textual description)
2-The number of bytes returned by the server (excluding headers)
3-The time taken to complete the request (i.e. round-trip time)
we use round robin DNS service for setting up a high availability solution ? i want to know whether it will work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
I just learned that warsow 0.6 is out, and went to see if it was available in the ubuntu software center yet, as opposed to going and downloading and installing it manually from the warsow website. The ubuntu repo's still have version 0.5, and at the bottom of the page it says:
"Updates: Canonical does not provide updates for Warsow. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community."
So if I wanted to 'update' this item in the repo's for the better of the community what would that entail?
