Re: RFC2228-only FTP ?

We used that for a year or so.  About a third of the users
were able to make it work.  The rest of them couldn't install
the proxy properly, or had firewall problems or something.
The ones who did get it working complained of performance
problems.  And no Macintosh support.  Safe-TP is not
transparent.

What we need is the standard RFC2228 FTP with security
extensions that most commercial Web hosts offer.
It's a disappointment that woody doesn't have it.

Postfix+mysql delivery problem.

2003-09-30 Thread Brad Lay
I've come to my end, after a few days of bashing around with postfix, I
come to the conclusion that what I want to do can't really be done.

Heres the senario.


I have a database, which stores only 'username' in mysql, which I would
like postfix to query for, if it exists then deliver to
/home/$user/Maildir.

Now this is fine if theres a system user as well (delivery method local:).
As soon as I change it to virtual:, it requires the full email address in
mysql, and I can't change it.

The domain part is irrelivent, as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
are the same anyway, I basically just want postfix to store the 'system'
users in mysql.

The relivant parts of my config are as follows;

[-snip-]

setgid_group = postdrop

require_home_directory = no

myhostname = dreams.isx.com.au
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.isx.com.au, isx.com.au
home_mailbox = Maildir/

alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf

transport_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/transport.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf
virtual_uid_maps = static:1000
virtual_gid_maps = static:1000
virtual_mailbox_base = /home
virtual_mailbox_limit = 33554432

local_recipient_maps  = $alias_maps $virtual_mailbox_maps
unix:passwd.byname
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/8, hash:/var/lib/pop-before-smtp/hosts

content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_recipient_access 
hash:/etc/postfix/access_recipient, check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, 
permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, reject_invalid_hostname, 
reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_sender, 
reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, 
reject_unknown_recipient_domain

[-/snip-]

and from mysql,

mysql> select * from transport;
+---+---+
| domain| transport |
+---+---+
| dreams.isx.com.au | virtual:  | <-- changing to local works 99% how I'd
  like it, but still requires a
  /etc/passwd user

And this is my user line, (when set to local:), which works great.

5558 Query   select "Maildir/" from user_info where username = 'brad'

Does anybody have any ideas on what I could have done wrong?


I really can't modify the database at all to change to a [EMAIL PROTECTED]
format, and theres more than 1 domain that users have access to, so this
really doesn't suit anyway.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Hot-backup a complete Debian install

2003-09-30 Thread Roman Medina

 Hi,

 I'd like to know which tools&methods do you prefer for backing up a
complete Linux install _in a production environment_, i.e., _without
having to shut down the machine or unmount partitions_. The machine
needs to be always alive and it will be remotely administered.

 I'd like to hear your opinion about the following idea.
1) I have LVM + ext3, with a distribution like:
linux:~# mount
/dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
/dev/rs/usr on /usr type ext3 (rw,nodev)
/dev/rs/var on /var type ext3 (rw,nodev,usrquota)
/dev/rs/tmp on /tmp type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,usrquota)
/dev/rs/www on /www type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,usrquota)
/dev/rs/ftp on /ftp type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,usrquota)
/dev/rs/mail on /mail type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,usrquota)
/dev/hda2 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
rs-hosting:~#

2) Root and boot partitions are not LVM based, but they're quite
static, since data and logs are stored in other partitions. Is it safe
to use "dump" here (keeping the partition mounted)?

3) All the "dynamic" partitions are LVM-based, so the idea is taking
one snapshot of each partition and use "dump" util over the snapshot?
Is it a good idea? Would it work?

Please, I'd like to receive comments / another ideas on this issue.
Thanks.

 Saludos,
 --Roman

Lazy Apache with domains

2003-09-30 Thread David Zejda
I have a machine with NIC, but not connected to network yet.
In etc/hosts there is a record "127.0.0.1 localhost mydomain.com"
"lynx 127.0.0.1" performs normally but "lynx localhost" says something
like "looking up localhost" for a 5s and than
"localhost" for next 5s before finally (after 10s) showing page. It does the
same
mischief for "lynx mydomain.com". It doesn't matter whether domain is set as
a
VirtualHost or not.
What should I check, please?

Re: removabale caddies

Here's a bit recycled from something I did for a youth center

Dunno if it works for you in Oz.  Google is my only connection with the
vendor.

Hard drive drawers and caddies.

These allow to quickly swap hard drives without tools or futzing with
jumpers. The more expensive models let you swap hard drives in and out
while the computer is running.

The benefits that removable hard drives solve are:

1) Most of the benefit of several completely
   different computer setups at the cost of
   several hard drives.

2) Simpler disc imaging. If a computer setup is bad
   you can pull the hard drive, replace it with one
   from the shelf, stick the mis configured hard drive
   into an 'imaging' station and restore it and put it
   on the shelf.

These are the ones I've used for a couple years. I've had a couple 5-6
recycled year old hard drives fail. (maybe because they were dropped on
the floor)  The keys tend to wear out, but since you get extra keys this
isn't a big deal.

http://www.provantage.com/buy-7STRP007-ata-66-100-plastic-hard-drive-drawer-w-fan-startech-computer-parts-ide66basic-shopping.htm

This model is more expensive but perhaps more durable and certainly
more stylish.
http://www.provantage.com/buy-7STRP071-startech-computer-parts-black-removable-ide-drive-drawer-rugged-w-shock-absorbers-drw113atabk-shopping.htm

This model is made of metal instead of plastic and is probably more
durable still. However, I wouldn't use the hot swapping software.

At some point, you hit the PC's architecture limitations, particularly
on the PCI bus. Two main problems : latency and bandwidth.

If you're talking about a few hundred Mbits, you should be ok with
fairly standard hardware.

If you're expecting full gigabit or more, it can get tricky. You
should consider specialized hardware.

Note that it has nothing to do with Zebra. The problem at stake here
is packet routing/forwarding inside the kernel, and the
kernel/hardware architecture limits. Zebra is just there to maintain
the kernel routing table by using various (in your case, probably BGP)
routing protocols.
