Re: [CentOS] Sendmail forwarding external email sent to root
Three ideas come to mind: 1) announce a different public name than the local machine name. A) EG: machine name:donttellanyone.theservername.com public (DNS) name: www.theservername.com B) Then set up virtusertable entry routing r...@donttellanyone.theservername.come to your email address. C) edit /etc/aliases so that "root: | /dev/null " 2) start using greylisting! Milter-greylist works well w/sendmail for light- medium load machines. =) 3) Turn off inbound email on port 25, if you can.

[CentOS] Sendmail forwarding external email sent to root
Hello: On a CentOS5 machine I set up for a client, in /etc/aliases, I set root's mail to forward to my email address so I can get notices from cron, etc. Unfortunately, I am now getting a lot of spam which is sent to r...@theservername.com How can I tell sendmail to not accept external email to root?

[CentOS] IO accounting
Just a general question to CentOS users, I'm curious if there is a supported or known working kernel newer than 2.6.20 that has IO accounting support. I know I could built it from source but I'd rather use a more tested one from a repo of some variety if possible. I'm referring to this feature. http://git.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=7c3ab7381e79dfc7db14a67c6f4f3285664e1ec2 In short this appears to have been seeked out by several people just curious if there is anyone out there that uses a nonstandard repo or source out there on their Cent server. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It's not particularly difficult to set these functions up yourself starting with a stock Centos if you intend to maintain them yourself (SME's main attraction is that the configuration interface is easy enough for anyone to use). With other appliance-type distributions you might find it easier to split the firewall and application services onto different boxes. ipcop and ebox look somewhat promising. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I thought cluster nodes are sharing RAM on default ( obviously I > was wrong). Depends what your goal is, if you want to run a cluster with shared memory between systems, you typically need a very high speed interconnect and very low latencies, your not likely to achieve this within VMs. Your original message just talked about sharing ram between VMs, you didn't mention why you were specifically interested in doing that. > nate, which vmware you use? VMware ESXi or VMWare Server or something > else? Whenever possible I'd use ESXi, I happen to use vmware server on the system that is sending my email because it's old and ESXi doesn't support the 3ware 8006-2 SATA card in it. Check the hardware compatibility list, the list is fairly short for some things like SATA, though ESX 4 is due out in the coming week(s) which is supposed to dramatically improve SATA support. Note that out of the box ESXi(with the free license) doesn't support snapshots or cold migrations(between servers) at least last time I checked the feature comparisons sheet. I'll be installing about 12 new ESXi systems soon. VMware server does not support page sharing or memory ballooning, and does support snapshots. I use vmware server 1.x, probably will go to 2.x in the next couple months. > p.s. Stable xen, has ballooning. You can say for every VM: > memory=1024MB, max-mem=2048MB. And you can tweak the memory "manually", > without having to restart the VM and without any other problems. That's not memory ballooning, at least not in the vmware world, and you can do the same in vmware, though if you decide to drop the amount of physical memory allocated to the guest without having the guest free up that memory you'll go into swap pretty quick, so it's not a practice I do, really ever. If Xen has a specific balloon driver like vmware and inflates the balloon when you change the memory settings that would be pretty cool, as far as I know vmware does not do that, the balloon only kicks in when host memory is low, not when you decide you want to resize the guest. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] looking for alternative to SME & Clark Connect
Hi all, I'm looking for a (preferably free) alternative to SME / Clark Connect. I basically need the following: - firewall - nat - VPN - bandwidth limiting / monitoring - email (SMTP / POP3 / IMAP) & groupware - file & printer sharing - RAID support - if possible fail-over / high availability support. I need to support about 15 - 30 (some part time) students, so I would like to keep the costs low. If it's free, so much better. SME works for most of the stuff, but it still runs on CentOS 4, and I'd prefer to use 5. Any recommendations? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Using cdrecord on CentOS
Michael A. Peters a écrit : >> >> 1) Am I supposed to be root to use cdrecord and burn an .iso file? > > I've found it works much better if you are root. > I tried both, and see: cdrecord complains about not being able to set certain priorities while being run as user, which induces a high risk for buffer underruns. So I have my answer for that. Another cdrecord-related question. Usually I should be able to copy a CD as simply as that: $ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=copy.iso Then insert a blank CD, and: $ cdrecord -v -eject dev=/dev/cdrom copy.iso Now I did that for data CDs, and it works very well. I thought, normally this *should* also work for audio CDs, so I gave that a spin. But everytime I try it, dd stops short and gives me an "Input/output error" for /dev/hdc. I tried three different audio CDs, all three in good state. I can listen to them OK on the PC. But all I get with dd is a zero-byte-length copy.iso file. Any idea what's happening?

Yes, Tru and I are going to fix this issue today, also over the next few days try and get the centos-4 updates going through the same process as the centos-5 updates do now. Which should mean we can get back into the target of < 24hrs from upstream. - KB ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It is annoying and >I don't recall it being there before I updated the driver. Diagonal thin black lines originating from upper left corner for starters. Then if I open a gui, whatever sort, that window gets those lines too. Menus are unreadable because of this, but slightly more readable if I move the mouse pointer over the menu entry. The lines tend to go away for a short while if I log off and log on again. Weird thing is that the lines are always diagonal and tend to always originate from the upper left corner of whatever window. This is with gnome mind you, and *supposedly* this one is the most stable of all the desktop environments. Haven't tried with KDE and xfce. Can't tell for sure if it's gnome or the Nvidia drivers specifically, but I'm leaning towards the drivers. It's not a hardware issue, as I've run rhel3 on the same machines w/o any artifacts. The hardware's two-three year old Asus mobo with a single-core AMD x64 and a rather feisty Nvidia Quadra gfx card. Don't have the exact details right now, but it should give a hint or two. All the P4-machines, as well as the i7-boxes, seem to work fine with dkms. -- /Sorin smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Sharing RAM between VM
Thank you, for all your answers! What about the other question? Can clustering help in completing this task? I thought cluster nodes are sharing RAM on default ( obviously I was wrong). >From your answers I'm getting to think that best decision for this task, in my case, is to buy some RAM. I'm not going to make more VMs. Their number will stay constant. nate, which vmware you use? VMware ESXi or VMWare Server or something else? Thanks, again for your help! p.s. Stable xen, has ballooning. You can say for every VM: memory=1024MB, max-mem=2048MB. And you can tweak the memory "manually", without having to restart the VM and without any other problems. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Many missing updates for CentOS 4?
