Because you cannot block hosts in mailman which aren't used for the construction of mail addresses. So I can block "foobar _AT_ linkedin.com", but cannot block "foobar _AT_ example.com" where mail enters our system from linkedin.com. I would have to do that on the system level (well, mailserver) - but I won't do that for several reasons.

Ok, I can understand that, in case you don't want to block other recipients on that server getting mail from linkedin. However, then you cannot block much at all as most of this stuff will not have a common hostname in the address. You could at least block badoo.com then (spanish linkin or so), they use their own domain according to that recent spam. With the LinkIn spam I was thinking that this must have been list members uploading their addressbook. But it appears to me now that you allow non- members to post to the list.

Oops, I missed that part... you are right. Guess the date check will have to be out of cron... In case the even/odd week of the year does not work (I am not sure all months will start on odd weeks; do they?), here's another try: 0 0 * * 6 [ $((`date +"%d"`%14)) -ge 8 ] && script.sh Would that work?

I'm happy with that but the requests should not go to this list. Anyway,
there have been several requests to this "Romeo Ninov, The Captain {LION}"
guy in the recent past, not just yesterday's, for instance:
http://emailthreads.net/message/20091027.041503.d3fa27cb.ja.html
http://www.spinics.net/lists/centos/msg88295.html
This can't be just coincidence. Could this guy have put
"centos@centos.org" as his email address with linkedin?

That one:

Looked like another kind of linkedin invitation mail, so would have
assumed they don't subscribe before sending ;-) Thus my sudden assumption
you allow unsubscribed mail.

I have some difficulty getting it to remember that I want duplex as default, but I can always configure it from the print dialogue. Does localhost:631 see the print queue correctly? I'm just wondering whether duplex needs to be set up there too. I you can't sort it, HP have a launchpad for problems, and I found them very helpful when I first got my all-in-one. The other thing that strikes me, is that I did have problems on the CentOS box at first, because the hplip that was installed didn't have the correct, up-to- date ppd file.

When I used to be on call (fortunately not for 9 years, now) and when I got paged for a problem, I'd estimate 1 in 20 of the calls required a direct root login, and that was limitted to the console. Some of the problems could stop a normal user logging in (eg automount failure; NIS binding issue; network routing issue). Some of those required a physical presence, but the majority of them could be fixed from the remote console. Heck, even for scheduled changes (bring server up single user, networking not active) remote consoles made the work possible. Remote consoles (whether it be a IP KVM, or an old style Sun Sparc serial console) aren't luxuries for a large environment; they're essential. -- rgds Stephen ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If the KVM goes down, it's probably not at the same time you need to fsck a server that you just rebooted. And when other things break, the goal is to have enough redundancy on hand to be able to fix the problem until you can replace whatever broke without dropping everything at 2am. Also, depending on your provider, a remote KVM winds up being cheaper than the cost of a few remote-hands calls. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You could get a 16-port 3ware controller and hang a bunch of 2TB drives off of it. Even with fairly decent redundancy you should be able to get at least 16TB of usable storage out of it. It might not have the greatest performance though (which gets back to this box's intended purpose).

Also you can chain a couple of MD1000s at the back of the MD3000 to get even more storage over SAS. We have a number of those with the upstream OS installed but usually a single MD3000 is enough for what we use them for (mainly Oracle DB server or VMWare hosts). We tend to split the storage between two nodes and then do OCFS2. -- Hakan (m1fcj) - http://www.hititgunesi.org ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Ok, finally got on a windows wkst so I could vm this up and be able to switch consoles. Looks like the problem is related to using two nics. Even though I specify ksdevice=eth0 on the grub line, it still seems to have trouble for some parts of downloading packages but not all? On one of the consoles, I see a dhclient help screen? I guess Anaconda is doing something with incorrect syntax. My ks lines are: network --device=eth0 --bootproto=dhcp network --device=eth1 --bootproto=static --ip=192.168.13.1 --netmask=255.255.255.0 --hostname=foo.bar.com So whats wrong here, or how can I resolve this?

>Maybe your networking somewhere. Replace the rpm or reburn the disk. A >disk can check good and still be bad! I don't follow you:) This is a kickstart install from a cdrom with a url line pointed to a repo. Its going across the wire for the bind rpm, that's why its using wget... I did not only verify the hash, but used another iso and tried a physical machine with a burned dvd. Same behavior. There is not a network issue, see the multiple wget commands and the results. - wget for a file on some other server works. - wget for the rpm appears to work, but the actual file is no where - wget for that *same* rpm, but with a -O foo works as well, but I now have a "foo" file to show for it:) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Basic scenario: one Private DNS server updating itself using data thrown at it by various known adsl based client (gateway device) using dyndns / ddo protocol. This server will be on a public IP and updates should happen only by those clients (gateway device).
