I could have sworn it used to show:

Mine do


Like a couple other machines. Any ideas what might have changed this or
how
I
get it back??? the devel package for NPTL is installed but from my
understanding that has little to do with why getconf is showing this. I'm
feeling new here :-)

Thanks John ... at least you've confirmed I'm not crazy:

I still don't know why all of a sudden NPTL dissapeared  :-(   I'll keep
banging my head and see what rattles loose

rpm -V



Thanks again John. Just in case anyone else ever runs into this. I had
installed an app that mentioned that /lib/tls needed to be moved for the app

xen is a candidate here.

to run as is had a flaw in it. This was a quick install I found on a site
somewhere ... eventually (last night) I read the official documentation which
specified that the flaw was in the patch provided quite a while ago for 2.4
kernels NOT the 2.6 branch.

In my case, /lib/tls was moved to /lib/tls.old and never paid attention to
again ... until this problem. Running the RPM verify against glibc showed that
there were horrific changes even once I had moved /lib/tls.old back to
/lib/tls as I had upgraded glibc and other accompanying apps and packages
while /lib/tls was gone.

As this machine is a kick toy right now it was pretty simple to reinstall
(which I was aplnning anyway) but I'm assuming it _may_ have been possible to
do a force install of the last upgrades I had done to try to correct the issue
WITH /lib/tls in place.

Side note, are rollbacks supported/implemented at all in CentOS 4 (or upcoming
5) ?  I know there are snapshots implemented in the management and prvisioning
modules for RHEL through rhn, just wondering if there's a similar machanism
that can be enabled for CentOS. I'm assuming there is with yum I'm just
weening off of up2date now ;P

I'm using up2date, and I'm getting replacement rpms created. I've not needed to use one, every, but it's a feature and choice I value.



Thanks again!!
