Nagios vmware guest crashed
 
Hi,

Our virtual Nagios server which is running on a CentOS server (version 5.4) with vmware server 2.0.1 crashed a few times last week. After searching the internet we came across a article (http://bugs.centos.org/bug_view_adva...hp?bug_id=3987) which is similar to our situation. I tried the workaround in this article (yum downgrade glibc glibc-common) but received the following message:

Code:
yum downgrade glibc glibc-common
Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, fastestmirror
Setting up Downgrade Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * addons: mirror.widexs.nl
 * base: mirror.widexs.nl
 * extras: mirror.widexs.nl
 * updates: mirror.widexs.nl
Only Upgrade available on package: glibc-2.5-42.i686
Only Upgrade available on package: glibc-2.5-42.x86_64
Only Upgrade available on package: glibc-common-2.5-42.x86_64
Nothing to do
I'm reasonably new to Linux, so any help with downgrading glibc-2.5-42 to glibc-2.5-34 will be appreciated.

This should work though it's a bit more work: 0) download the last Centos 5.3 glibc and related packages you need to a local directory say "/tmp/downgrade", 1) (test on your staging host and then) use 'yum --allow-downgrade downgrade /tmp/downgrade/*.rpm'.
