CentOS 4.x and OMSA 6.1 – Update breaks IPMI

Just recently I upgraded a Centos 4 machine which broke OMSA, this post helped me fix it.

djbdns, daemontools and ucspi-tcp RPMS

Every so often I need a copy of one or all of these on a new machine. I tend to normally use RPM based distros and always have issues trying to find RPMS of these packages. As a result I’ve packaged them up and put them in my svn repo.

Feel free to checkout that directory, it includes a readme of how to build them for a system I’ve yet to need them on. replace the fc7 or el5 with something appropriate for your distribution.

VMware any-any patch

I’ve had troubles with vmware on redhat/fedora in the past. (See here or here) But I’ve now found a one stop solution to putting VMware on all things RedHat or Fedora. Follow the instructions in this VMware forum post. This has worked for me with VMware Server on Fedora 6 and 7 and also VMware Workstation 6 on Fedora 7. Thanks Petr!
