AFAIK, you can put any kind of map file in $mydestination - e.g. you can use a hashed db. you can certainly do it for $virtual_maps, which is probably what you want rather than $mydestination. > So I need to be able to add domains without (much) reconfiguring of > the server. Preferrably I would like to use LDAP to specify the > domains, do the LDAP patches for Postfix support this? you should be able to use an LDAP map too. a hashed db would be faster. generate the map from the source data extracted from an LDAP database if necessary. BTW, for large map files, create them with a temporary filename and then mv them into place. creating a hashed file takes a significant amount of time, but mv is atomic. craig -- craig sanders -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's an expensive SNMP-mib collector/network-discovery-agent/oh-crap-this-node-went-down-page-someone -agent. If you're wanting GUI management of Cisco boxes, look at Cisco Works. The best platform you can get for it is Solaris (which is nothing to sneeze at.) It is nice to have CW go out and archive the software revs and keep a database of all that. I've never used CW for anything more than an audit trail of changes. The GUI, like all management GUI's, just ain't natural for we command-line-folk. For me, telnet and a tftp daemon do just fine. Throw in a perl script or two to scrog configs regularly and parse syslog entries, and add MRTG on top of that. my .02. -- John B.

Indeed. I've yet to meet anyone that has used it and -liked- it. The most common reason to run OV is "we installed some vendor hardware and they only let us manage it with OV". As an example of its brokenness, when I had to run it, I also had to use 'mon' to ensure that OV was actually still running: periodically one part of OV would core dump and take down the rest of it. The irony of using a couple thousand lines of GPL'd Perl to monitor hundreds of thousands of lines of expensive crapware was amusing, though. Then there was the day that OpenView refused to honor its own license, which meant I had to call our evil VAR (HP refused to help, because we got it as a VAR package) and have -them- call HP... 12 hours later HP gave us a new license that OV didn't choke on. Too bad the hardware that OV was supposed to be controlling was offline for 12 hours. > If you´re (for whatever reason) already forced to use expensive (and > much too often crappy) cisco-gear, I´d guess you don´t want to strangle > yourself further with more&more not-open-source-software. OpenView is what made me as rabid 'give me source or keep it off my network' as I am. (And, thanks to the wonders of proprietary software's inferiority, it even convinced management of the same thing now -they- ask about source and standards compliance when talking to sales wonks, and usually even specifically ask "will this work with Linux?") -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
