| You
probably need the kernel source for the current running kernel `uname
-r`
It
looks like you have the source for the latest kernel, but not the actual kernel
which means you're probably still running a previous kernel version. You'll need
to either upgrade your kernel or go find the devel pkg for your current
kernel.

Hi Geoff,
If you're using RHEL4, Redhat don't make a kernel-source RPM for
RHEL4... instead, you have to make your own kernel source tree from the
.src.rpm file for your kernel. I got the below stuff from a website
somewhere - I'd post the URL to it but I can't find it, so here's the
text (apologies and thanks to the author). Anyway, hope it helps...
ignore the stuff about NVidia drivers:
So, you need the kernel-source for your FC3/RHEL-4 distro?
These steps should save you some time, trouble and many headaches.
In the even that you neglected to read the release notes for
FC3...eh-hem...the FC project has decided not to supply the
kernel-source in order to prevent redundancy.
You see, the kernel-source tree can be extracted from the
kernel-*.src.rpm if you absolutely need it.
In my case, I needed to supply the --kernel-source-path when
(re)installing the lastest NVIDIA drivers (more on NVIDIA drivers
below...) after rebooting with a new kernel.
So, here are the steps that you should follow in order to
extract the kernel-source tree from the kernel-*.src.rpm:
Step (1). Go find the kernel-*.src.rpm (#> locate
kernel-*.src.rpm) or download it from the Internets. For instance, you
could get it from here.
Step (2). Now you must install the rpm. As root, execute #> rpm -Uvh kernel-*.src.rpm
Step (3). The previous step should have created a
kernel-2.6.spec (or similarly kernel-2.4.spec if you're still on that
kernel) file in the /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/ directory. You must build
the rpm against this .spec file to get the binaries and source.
As root, execute #> rpmbuild -bp
--target=noarch /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
Step (4). Create the necessary symbolic links for your directory
tree:
#> cd /usr/src
#> ln -s redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.10/linux-2.6.10/ linux
#> ln -s redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.10/linux-2.6.10/ linux-2.6.10
Step (5). Now we need to make the new .config files:
#> cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.10
#> make mrproper
#> cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/configs/kernel-2.6.10-i686.config
/usr/src/linux-2.6.10/.config
#> make oldconfig
#> make menuconfig
#> make
Now, you have a kernel-source tree under /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 just
like you would if you had been supplied the kernel-source in the first
place. Note that the kernel numbers (i.e. 2.6, 2.6.10, etc.) and system
architecture numbers (i.e. i686) may be different for your situation.
Replace with correct numbers/information where necessary.
I was able to install the new NVIDIA drivers by executing:
#> sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-###-pkg1.run
--kernel-source-path /usr/src/linux-2.6.10

Running
Linux Es 3.0. Is there a way to configure logins so they are rejected
after a certain number of failures? I can see from my logs that somebody has
been trying to get into my system. They consistently (like every few
seconds) try to log in as a certain user. ; After a while, they give up and
try another user. ; What is the best way to handle this. ; I would like
to be able to set up each account so they are blocked after a certain number of
failures. I also would like to be able to block certain IP addresses
after a certain number of failed logins, even if they were for different user
names.
Thanks
P. Laval
