Re[3]: [Xen-users] Networking doesn't work

[Russell Robinson <russellr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Properly solved this time.....I hope!

The problem is the python-pam package.

It's not called "python-pam", it's caled PyPAM.

You cannot get it from Centos yum repositories.

I got it from here:
  
http://www.math.ohiou.edu/pub/casit/pykota/el4/i386/PyPAM-0.4.2-3.el4.mrh.i386.rpm

Now for the rhetorical questions to air my extreme annoyance and this...
  
Why wouldn't the XENSOURCE RPM packages for Centos have a dependency
for Python PAM?????  That's one of the purposes of RPM.

Why wouldn't XENSOURCE include Python PAM in the downloads?????

Why isn't there any documentation about this?

Why do the logs say "WARNING" about python-pam missing instead of
"SERIOUS FATAL ERROR THAT WILL PREVENT XEN NETWORKING FROM
WORKING!!!!" ??????

I am the *only* person in the history of the universe to run
OpenSource XEN on Centos 4.4?

Arrrrggghhhhhh!!!!!!

Thanks HEAPS to jez for holding my hand during this labourious task.

I sure hope these posts help someone else and prevent them wasting the
10 hours it's cost me!
