[expert] mandrakeupdate and security features

2001-01-30 Thread goldengull.net administrator

following packages which are needed to run mandrake update:

MandrakeUpdate-7.2-19.1mdk.i586.rpm
grpmi-7.2-19.1mdk.i586.rpm

Hi, has anyone been able to get the Mandrake configured postix in 7.2 to
virus scan.  In particular I am looking at using anomy, then eventally
using that to call AVP.  I had go at this some months ago and failed, so
now I am looking for some hints as to the best way to go about this. 
Searching the postfix site/anomy/web hasnt helped much.  The stup
basicly collects mail from one ISP for one user.  All other members of
the family then access this via imap/netscape which does the actual
filtering into appropriate mailboxes.

RE: [expert] Trouble with PHP update

assuming i do remove all my php packages and reinstall with the updated
RPMs:
will i lose the /etc/php.ini and other similar files?

i just don't want to get stuck with php not working in apache or something
like that.

i'm assuming that since the update cones from mandrake, they config the RPMs
to
install without problems (mostly)

I have tested the latest php update rpms and they work fine over
here.  Once the php-mysql module gave me difficulties (it commented
itself out in the /etc/php.ini file), but the other times it did not
(I still haven't figured this one out).

Realistically, you should not have to uninstall anything.  Simply
update the PHP rpms, and then double-check your /etc/php.ini to make
sure that all the modules you have installed are uncommented.  Then
restart Apache to ensure that everything gets loaded fresh and you
should be fine.

[expert] mysql update

2001-02-06 Thread goldengull.net administrator

i'm having a hideous time updating mysql here.  i downloaded all the
packages from a ftp mirror when i read about the php/mysql update.  php
installed fine, although i had to rpm -e the old packages before i installed
the new.  (i won't get into this any more.  it's been discussed)

but

due to my problems with mandrakeupdate dumping the core when i try to run it
on all my machines, i have to dl packages manually and install them with
rpm.

when i goto install MySQL, i get lots of error messages:

[root@web transfer]# rpm -Fvh MySQL-3.23.31-1.1mdk.i586.rpm
file /usr/bin/mysqlbug from install of MySQL-3.23.31-1.1mdk conflicts with

error: removing these packages would break dependencies:

i can't seem to get the new packages to install or the old ones to
uninstall.  what am i missing here?  i don't have rpm package manager
installed on my servers (high security).  prehaps that would help?  what is
the name of the rpm to install for that?

Try this method:

rpm -e perl-Mysql-1.22_15-3mdk
rpm -e MySQL-bench-3.23.23-1mdk
rpm -e MySQL-3.23.23-1mdk
rpm -e MySQL-client

Do that in this order and you should be ok.

Hopefully, this isn't too much of a newbie question.

I have a fresh install of Linux Mandrake 7.2, which will not allow me to
connect to Webmin from the local console or from another workstation on my
LAN. I can't find much in the way of documentation, especially for
troubleshooting. So my first request would be for a comprehensive source of
documentation. What I've found at the Webmin site and Caldera have been
precious little use, but I have tried what they suggest. Logging in to
localhost:1 doesn't work, and results in this error message -
connection to host localhost is broken. I have tried with Apache running
and not running. I have checked the miniserv config file, and all seems
well except for the following entries which are seemingly incomplete.

ppath=
atboot=

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We are trying to build a new mail
and file server for our school, and I am trying to convince my superiors
that we don't need yet another NT server.

postfix runs on my mail server.  it recieves and sends mail.  it holds it

[expert] recommendations for LM

2001-02-08 Thread goldengull.net administrator

i'm not sure where do post this, or email it to.

i have some comments about postfix, which ships with LM7.2
it should contain a series of sample files that ship with the source, but
not with postfix for mandrake.  one file is "sample-virtual.cf"  which
explains the process of maintaining virtual hosts in postfix.

any reason why they were omitted from LM7.2?  whoever maintains the
RPM/package for mandrake should consider putting these sample files back in.

cheers!

[expert] postfix updates for mandrake

2001-03-02 Thread goldengull.net administrator

this from the postfix-users list:



I am producing RPMS for postfix for RedHat Linux.
These packages I believe also work on Mandrake linux.

URL:  http://www.pobox.com/~sjmudd/postfix

Latest package postfix-20010225-1.i386.rpm

Note: I'm currently not announcing to this list the updates I apply to the
packages, partly to avoid noise (postfix-users isn't a linux only list).

For those who are interested I maintain a private list of people I notify
when a newer version of the package is released.

Regards,

Simon

RE: [expert] Hello,

2001-03-08 Thread goldengull.net administrator

try the solaris website.  this is a mandrake linux list.
solaris costs money...so you should have a support contract or documentation
at the least.

I've been using Apache on 2.2.x kernels for over a year and never had a

error "failed to acquires shared memory segment " or something similar. I
boot back into 2.217 and everything's smooth.  What's the problem?
