Indeed. Look in a mirror and say it again.

or, at the same time while you are waiting for more replies, you could try
starting up with only the first alias and if that succeeds try the next
one and so on ...
If you get less errors than you have aliases it's likely that some of the
files have simply wrong values.

FYI: I've been creating NIC aliases with ONBOOT=yes for quite some time
without a problem as I wasn't aware of the ONPARENT directive. I usually
just copy the file and change it accordingly. The trap I usually run into
is that I forget to change DEVICE.

That was already told very early on, but you didn't notice it!

Why do you try to filter outbound connections at all? If "something" makes
it on your machine the first thing they will do is drop your rules.

I'm getting ext3-fs maximal mount count warnings on logical volumes that
are regularly mounted und unmounted for backup. Of course, I can just
tune2fs all of them to stop that. But, if I wanted to find out for
instance which one "dm-16" is, how do I do that?

But mysql-server is not part of default setup, Bill, and shouldn't be.

of course, you need at least the server package if you want to sue the
mysql server ...
And the correct command to start is "service servicename start" then.

Of course, it does. If you have a URL http://www.example.com/path/file.htm
and you want to have this file served when someone goes to
http://www.example.com/ you have to do something to make this happen.
There is no magic that will read your mind and then do that for you. So,
if I interpreted your problem correctly you want to go to the newsgroup
comp.infosystems.servers.www.unix and ask there the following:

I have a script http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/install.cgi that works fine.
Now I would like to have it called when someone accesses
http://www.domain.com/. How can I achieve this with my apache version
x.y.z. on CentOS z.y.x?

That's just four lines, no lame excuses, no lengthy description of non-
related stuff. And in the right place. *This* list is *not* the right
place.

Couldn't it be that some people simply prefer email over HTML forums?
Especially those that have less time for answering other's questions?

You didn't get the subtile irony?

Kai

I agree with all you said and I think that a distinction along the lines
of how one uses CentOS might indeed help, say centos-server-users and
centos-desktop-users or a list that is just about hardware and making it
work with CentOS.

Kai

I'm all for having less traffic on this list, but I don't have a good
recipe for that. I doubt that splitting the list will really help much. As
others have already said you will probably end up with two lists that have
mixed conversations from the topics of both lists. And it won't help with
the problem that there are more and more clueless posts where it is very
clear that the person asking didn't even think a second about doing some
research before asking here.

Try and see.
