[CentOS-es] Recomendaciones sobre servidor de correo pop
Hola a todos, estamos pensando instalar un servidor de correo Linux en un servidor CentOs sobre el que ya corren otros servicios. La idea es que este servidor descargue los emails de nuestro ISP mediante pop3 y envíe los mensajes salientes mediante el smtp que nos proporciona tb nuestro ISP. Ganaremos que todos los emails que sean etre los usuarios de mi dominio se quedarán localmente en ese servidor. ¿Alguien podría sugerirme una opción (postfix, sendmail ) para implementar esto que les digo? Llevo 2 semanas en las que instalé qmailtoaster con fetchmail para conseguir esto pero sin resultados y estoy a punto de abandonar para estudiar otras opciones con Software de pago. Les agradecería cualquier tipo de orientación. Saludos, Miguel A. Velasco ___ CentOS-es mailing list CentOS-es@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-es

[CentOS-es] Consejos
Hola amigos, Tengo que montar un servidor de base de datos MySQL y he elegido (por recomendaciones) Centos 5, tengo algunas consultas, 1.- Tengo dos equipos Dell PowerEdge 860, con las siguientes caracteristicas: -Dual Core 3050 Processor, 2MB Cache, 2.13GHz, Xeon, FSB 1066MHz -Memoria ram: 4GB DDR2, 667MHZ, 4x1G, Dual Ranked DIMMs -2 Discos: 250GB, SATA, 7.2K RPM La idea es configurar ambos servidores como uno espejo del otro, para tenerlo como respaldo en caso de contingencias. La duda es como configuro las particiones de los discos duros?, es decir, si debo crear las particiones considerando ambos discos o solo uno (dejando uno libre sin uso, como para repuesto). Tambien necesito saber como se puede gestionar la configuracion de servidores espejo, es decir, si existe alguna herramienta o solo es configuracion de MySQL?.

[CentOS] Why CentOS as a webhosting platform
Hi, CentOS seems to be doing really well in the hosting business these days, and even for people who would normally have used Windows or OSX on the hosting previously, are now looking at using CentOS.

Not having any direct connection with the hosting business I was wondering if people here could help me out a bit and let me know why they think CentOS is good / bad as a platform in this market segment. I suppose that would include dedicated hosting, VPS hosting, Shared / Virtual hosting, and even high performance grid hosting that a few people seem to be offering these days.

Why buy support for 1000 servers when each are identically configured? Why not just buy support for 10 web-development/testing servers that mirror the production servers and if an OS problem creeps up it should be reproducable on the supported development/testing environment which can then utilize the commercial support?

Re: [CentOS] Why CentOS as a webhosting platform
For me it doesn't have to do with cost. It has to do with I've used RedHat Linux since 1995, then RHEL, then CentOS. And all this time I've used some form of RedHat or derivative on all my servers. I prefer to stick with what I know. Also, you'll notice that the majority of pre-packed Control Panel software is written for RPM based distro's.

The biggest part, CentOS has a bigger life time then the crappy FC (6 months). Danny. The relationship between FC and Upstream is more complex than that. It is not fair to call FC crappy, because the projects have different goals. The goal of an enterprise OS (Upstream, CentOS) is long term support and a very stable system. The goal of something like FC is to have more frequent updates, and provide more cutting-edge packages, more aimed at desktop use. FC is actually a testing ground for the Upstream Enterprise releases.

It's this list and the CentOS community. The community support for CentOS is as good /if not better/ than that of Upstream or any other OS's I've used over the past 10 years. The distro is solid, has longevity and is robust.

Peter Kjellstrom napsal(a): We see it too. My assumption is that it has to do with slow mirror sync somehow.

[CentOS] CentOS 5 - base kernel vs. centosplus for XFS
I notice that the same versions of kmod-xfs and xfsprogs etc. are in both the extras and centosplus repositories for centos5. Is there any particular reason to use the centosplus kernel if what I'm primarily interested in is XFS filesystem support? I presume that if I am using the plus kernel, then I must use the plus versions of kmod-xfs etc., but I'm wondering whether I need the plus kernel in the first place. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] NIS binding probs w/Firewall and SELinux
Set up a cron task. I have an auto reboot set up every 6 hours in case I goof up ssh by sending the cpu usage through the roof (beats paying the colo people to reboot a system repeatedly).

I think once I get past beyond the security issues, yp will work/bind fine. Thanks for any help/insights.

Re: [CentOS] Random Reboots
If your bios has onboard logging don't forget to check it.

At the moment i have put the previous kernel in place and will keep a close on it to see if it repeats the rebooting pattern. again thanks all.
