sendmail relay host problem

2005-04-28 Thread Olaf Stein
hi everybody
 
I am running FBSD 5.3 with sendmail 8.12 on a custom installed system (just
base and man)
The only thing this machine is supposed to do is send notification emails on
certain events on an ftp server
the ftp notifications work, as other mail servers I have tried deliver them
my old machine doing this (FBSD 4.9) crashed and I unfortunately do not
remember exactly how I configured it
 
What I remember and what I did on this installation is the following:
 
- add alias for existing user in /etc/mail/aliases
- run newaliases
- add relay-domains file in /etc/mail with the domains to deliver mail to
- restart sendmail
 
I am under the impression that with my old installation that was enough but
I am not sure
Fact is that it does not send any emails
Am I missing something I still have to do or do you know locations of howtos
for setting up sendmail for my purposes
 
please cc me as I am not on the list
 
thanks
/Olaf

lock user to home directory - not with rbash

2005-04-25 Thread Olaf Stein
hi
 
thanks for the advice on rbash
i got it to work but it is to restricted
in their home directories users should have full rw access
as far as i tried rbash (bash -r) that is not possible (i can not even do a
mkdir)
i am doing something wrong or is this the goal of rbash (bash -r)??
 
is there any other way of giving users access to their home directory and
shutting down anything else (even if read-only)??
 
thanks a lot for your help

RE: lock user to home directory

2005-04-25 Thread Olaf Stein
Does not work

I changed the shell with chpass -s /usr/local/bin/bash -r or rbash
Chpass said that those are unvalid arguments but changed it anyway in
/etc/passwd
But user could not login anymore at all

Any other ideas??

Thanks

Try giving them restricted bash (rbash, or bash -r) as shell.

hardware raid with fbsd 5.3

2004-11-12 Thread Olaf Stein
Hello everybody

 

I am about to install a machine with a hardware raid.

I am using a Promise Fasttrack TX4000 controller.

 

So far I have been using FBSD 4.9 for all kinds of purposes, but the release
notes show me that my controller is not supportet (I also tries and it does
not work, or at least I can not find the stripped hard drives anywhere)

 

The 5.2.1 release notes show me that it is supported, but everybody tells me
not to use any 5.2 releases.

 

I would like to use 5.3 but unfortunately my controller does not show up
there in the supported hardware list.

 

What would you guys recommend to do??

 

Thanks a lot in advance

Olaf

RE: [How To] Setting up a http server

2004-10-26 Thread Olaf Stein
After installing apache and needed modules with ports the configuration is
not too much different than on a linux or *nix system (main difference is
the location off the config files)

Unfortunately I do not know any good howto`s that cover every single step or
topic
I guess you will need to find several ones

remove users from system

2004-05-13 Thread OLAF STEIN
hi everybody,

i recently switched from linux to freebsd, so this question might sound a little stupid

the problem
i removed 2 users from my system by deleting their entries in /etc/passwd and 
/etc/group (they had their own group and where in no other groups)

the users are still able to login after i deleted them
the rmuser command now does not remove them anymore because it cannot find their 
entries in /etc/passwd, cause as mentioned i deleted them from their

the handbook lists all actions that are taken, when the rmuser command is executed and 
i did all actions manually except the deletion of the home directories of those users, 
because i want to keep them

how can i remove those users completely?
and is there something like a /etc/shadow file?

please cc me on the answer as i am not in the list

thanks in advance
olaf
