Just because I couldn’t find any information anywhere, if you’re trying to install the latest versions of the varnish caching server on RHEL5 or CentOS5 and its telling you that it wants /usr/bin/mkpasswd (and it’ll only do that to you if you like me, were trying to install using rpm instead of yum), you can find mkpasswd in the package expect

Why not use Yum? I’ve recently installed it via the EPEL repo:

We actually do for all our production boxes (we’ve got a full mirror of epel, centos, rpmforge, etc internally). This was just a test vm guest on my desktop which I hadn’t fully configured to use all our yum repos. I’ve stuffed the updated varnish rpms (which are newer than what’s in the epel repo) into a local directory on the guest, created a local repo with createrepo, and also configured yum to use the rest of our yum repos, then its all good.
