Scientific Linux installations have a package called yum-autoupdate by default and the package contains two files:

I’ll be the first one to admit that Kerberos drives me a little insane.

I used to be one of those folks who would install Fedora, CentOS, Scientific Linux, or Red Hat and disable SELinux during the installation.

If you want to forward e-mail from root to another user, you can usually place a .

Before we get started, I really ought to drop this here:

Fedora 15 was released with some updates to allow for consistent network device names.
