You probably want to do
find /var/spool/clientmqueue -type f -exec rm -f {} \+
to reduce your load or if your find(1) isn't POSIX compliant:
find /var/spool/clientmqueue -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f
If the load is of a problem use nice(1). Though I thought sendmail
brings a way on its own to delete messages from the queue, which
I would then prefer to use.

You can't give 2 commands to find's -exec and

I strongly recommend mounting /tmp as nosuid,nodev *and* noexec,
especially on a server.

[CentOS] quota command broken
We noticed a big change in the workings of the quota command when moving from RHEL3 to CentOS5. Under RHEL3 (quota-3.10-7), quota -v essentially lists the fs quotas for all users logged into the local machine. Under CentOS5 (quota-3.13-1.2.5.el5), only one user quota is displayed, and while the actual data seems to be correct, the attribution is usually wrong. E.g. $ whoami user1 $ quota -v Disk quotas for user user1 (uid 12345): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace nfs:/vol/vol2/user2 2596260 4194304 4194304 406132 614400 614400 $ This is for NFS quotas. We don't use local Linux quotas, and I haven't tested them. I don't know how this stuff works under the hood; is it possible that underlying kernel structures have changed, or some kernel config was dropped? I compiled the latest quota tools on both RHEL3 and CentOS5 and found the same behaviour, so the quota tools themselves are most likely not at fault. --- This message and any attachments may contain Cypress (or its subsidiaries) confidential information.

If CentOS repos are 1 and rpmforge is 2 (or higher), then yes it will PROTECT the CentOS repo from updated from rpmforge. This is the behavior regardless of if where the installed packages are from. If rsync is in both CentOS and RPMForge ... you will always get rsync from CentOS with yum (even if you manually installed the rsync from RPMForge ... yum will still use the one from the CentOS repos) If you want to get a file from RPMForge and not a REPO that has a priority number that is lower (ie 1 vs 2 in this case), then in the higher priority repo, you need to add an "exclude=" line in the CentOS-Base.repo file for that repo (in this case, in the base and updates sections).

If you mean "blocking updates for already installed rpmforge packages that also exist in the main distro which is configured with a higher priority (lower number)", then yes, that is the expected from the priorities plugin. If you want to override packages that exist in the main distro and use the ones from a lower priority (higher number) repository instead, you should add "exclude=..." lines in the definitions of the base repos to be able to pick those from the other repo instead.

[CentOS] CentOS 5.3 - Activating laptop wireless card
I've just installed CentOS 5.3 on my Dell laptop and it seems to have detected and set-up my wireless card (BCM 4311) correctly as eth1. However, so far I haven't been able to activate it and have read the wiki http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Wireless#head-320d6fcf09b7e16e0b15d19ef76adcb023a95938 which indicates that this card isn't actually supported in CentOS - but there has been an improvement over earlier kernels because the card wasn't even detected in CentOS 5.0. So do I need to get the Windows driver from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php and do I need ndiswrapper as well?

Ok, I verified that inside anaconda one cannot create layered MD RAID arrays because once one forms an array there is no choice to create a volume of type "Software RAID". The RAID choices are RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 or RAID6 during install, no RAID10. I can create multiple RAID1s though, of type "LVM Physical Volume" and then create a volume group composed of those. I can then create a root LV and a swap LV, though these will not be striped because LVM doesn't default to striping PVs, but concatenating, so in order to stripe these I'll need to leave enough free space to create striped versions, dump and restore from the old root to the new root and then edit the fstab/grub, run mkinitrd and reboot. Not exactly convenient, but unfortunate due to LVM's default policy of concatenating PVs instead of striping them... oh well. As far as creating a RAID10 at the command prompt, the dm-raid10 kernel module is missing from the install image, so no luck directly creating a RAID10, and after a couple of reboots I was able to create a layered setup, but anaconda didn't recognize it (either immediately, or after a reboot) to be able to perform an install on it because it doesn't start the arrays upon startup to be able to find the nested one. So if it worked for you in RH9, it no longer works anymore. Maybe because RH9 had a separate MD RAID implementation and not the device-mapper implementation. -Ross ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Not dm. Actually I am going to eat crow on this. While device mapper has support for "fake raid" devices and managing RAID under those, the actual kernel RAID modules are still handled under linux-raid. Though there is an ongoing effort to bring these into device mapper, it still isn't there yet. Md RAID and LVM are both interfaces to the device mapper system which handles the LBA translation, duplication and parity calculation. >>> >>> Are they?

Not sure about Centos 5. My tests had a separate RAID1 for /boot to take the whole booting off of RAID10 out of the picture. The problem I had with pre setting the layered MD devices for anaconda, is while I was able to do that after a couple reboots to get it to see the partitioning, anaconda didn't actually start the arrays until further in the install process, so it wasn't able to see the nested array and starting the arrays manually didn't help because anaconda wouldn't re-scan the devices again. I would definitely avoid layered MD devices as it's more complicated to resolve disk failures. >>> >>> Huh? >>> >>> I do not see what part of 'cat /proc/mdstat' will confuse you.

[CentOS] For you old-timers, an RS232 question about data rate confirmation.
Hello all. This is a question that I should be able to answer, but the old grey cells aren't working. My Google-Fu must not be up to snuff, either. I have a MOXA IP-RS232 converter that I'm going to be using over an RF WAN and I need to confirm the actual data rate that I'll be able to achieve. I have the drivers loaded (/dev/ttyr00) and a loopback plug on the end of the device. I am able to confirm that it works fine with minicom, but I'd like to be able to have a program read/write the device with a largish file and give me a throughput rating. Short of writing my own program, can anyone point me to a good tool for that purpose. yum search RS232 and yum search serial haven't provided what I'm looking for and I can't imagine that this isn't already done. Thanks! Barry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

How about writing it directly to the device? dd if=source of=/dev/ttyr00 (if that's the device? I forgot) similar to using cat though if it matters you could play with things like block size.

If wine isn't running at all, when you start a Windows app, there is a bit of system resource overhead for starting the wine services, mainly some RAM usage. That should be expected however, as you can't magically run Windowss softwarre without the code existing to do so. ;o) Whether or not a given app runs with performance or security issues is going to vary widely from app to app, and one version of wine to another, along with many other factors.

My builds of wine are made by taking the Fedora wine package, making some minor fixes to the file manifests and reconfiguring the build to build clean on EL5. When I'm actively using wine on a regular basis from time to time, I update my builds to track the wine project's latest release, however I haven't been testing new versions for a few months as I've been busy with other stuff. I should probably update it again soon though. I'll do a test build of the latest upstream tonight and if I get it rolling, I'll update my repo. Hope this helps. - -- Mike A.

[CentOS] sendmail routing
CentOS 4.8, sendmail 8.13 Hi All: I have a couple of questions regarding the routing of outgoing emails. I have spent several hours doing Google searches but I have not come close to what I am looking for. If someone can give me push in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. We currently have three domain names (two for our development company and one for our production company). We have one mail server in our development office that hosts all three domain names. Actually we just treat the three domain names as aliases of the mail server (via the local-host-names file and I do not see a need to change this. What I would like to do is route (relay?) any outgoing emails that are from emails addresses using only one of those domains to a separate SMPT server. 1. Is this possible? 2. What is it called? 3.

If the same machine is sending for more than one domain, you may be able to configure the application sending the automated emails to send to a specified SMTP server. Users can almost certainly configure their mail agent to sent through the SMTP server of their choice. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You will need to rebuild sendmail.cf after applying this hack. http://www.cs.niu.edu/~rickert/cf/hack/sender_based_routing.m4 I have not tested it let alone tried on 8.14.x I cannot believe the file is dated 2004. Ah well, I got rid of sendmail and replaced it with postfix in 2003 while I was still a mail admin. I must bow to the real sendmail bigots. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
