Ummm I think you mean RAID1
That way at least 1 drive can fail and you can continue.

In RAID 0 if you lose 1 drive you lose the data that is on both.

 No, only http://news.gmane.org/?match=gentoo (look for the list of gentoo
 archives, e.g. gmane.linux.gentoo.announce ). It's a bit idiosyncratic,
 but it's kinda cool at the same time ..

False.  There is also an archive of all the gentoo-* mailing lists are
marc (marc.theaimsgroup.com) in the Linuc Distributions section.

Both can be used standalone, php comes with a interperator as well as
the mod_php for apache (emerge php mod_php).
Which is better really depends on what you're trying to do.  For quick
sysadmin tasks and that kind of thing perl all the way.
On hte other hand if you're going for dynamic DB driven webcontent php
would be the way to go.
Either can technically do both jobs but each one is better suited for
doing just one.  So it really depends on what you're planning to do, if
you just want to learn one, just to have something to know I would
probably go with perl as it's more well rounded.

It should work just fine I have a board that has the same chipset and it

It appears that kmail isn't setting your envelope sender correctly. And
the remote host is rejecting [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a envelope
sender.  You need to ensure kmail is using a correct envelope sender and
you should be fine.

Re: [gentoo-user] Databases - which one

2003-07-03 Thread Mike Roest
Mysql with a InnoDB table backend is much better in those respects.  It 
enforces foreign key constraints, has a transaction log so if the server 
 dies in the middle of a transaction it can rollback or forward.  Quite 
nice actually, it is a little more of a pain to setup as there are some 
additional my.cnf directives that need to be added. Compiling the 
support in is pretty easy USE=innodb emerge mysql.

I dunno about this I was running vmailmgr for 15 domains with about a
1000 accounts and never noticed it to be slow. For either deliveries or
for people checking through both POP3/IMAP

| a) LDAP
| b) MySQL

I'm using ldap with the qmail-ldap patch from www.nrg4u.com.  With
install howto and overview from www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap.  It supports
clustering of POP3/IMAP accross multiple servers for an enterprise level
of user accounts, SMTP-AUTH (with additional patch) for relay
authentication.  It provides a checkpassword replacement for qmail-pop3
and a auth plugin for courier-imap.
There is also another patch that moves all the control files into the
ldap so you don't have to actually login to the box to add domains as
you can just put them into the ldap control structure and they are
picked-up on the fly (I think).
| And: I *need* a webfrontend to manage users (no webmail; just to add,

|
There are a couple options for this.
1) You can use any basic web-ldap app and modify/add users on the fly
2) There is a specialized web frontend for the qmail-ldap schema
available here ttp://phpqladmin.bayour.com/.  I personally use the
phpqladmin it's quite slick.  I'm using a older version cause my LDAP
schema doesn't match up with the current phpqladmin layout. But either
way it works quite well.
Also if you do need webmail at anytime it integrates quite well with the
sqwebmail authdaemon-ldap for authentication, also it'll work with any
IMAP webmail.
| Has somebody experience with this config? Or maybe a good link with

The qmail-ldap isn't exactly straight forward, but as long as you have
some LDAP experience (all I had done previously was setup a LDAP roaming
address book) and a bit of qmail experience (having installed vmailmgr
you shouldn't have any problem here)
Overall I've found it quite stable and usable.  There are a few things
that caused problems every once and a while but that is due to the fact
that it's now relying on the LDAP server being up and fast.
As an example for a while logins/deliveries where taking a long time, it
turned out that indexing the LDAP server caused a 10 fold increase in speed.

Yes but mutt doesn't cache headers for IMAP accounts so if you plan to
leave the list messages in the account (as I do my gentoo-user account
has 26000 messages in it) mutt takes inordinate amounts of time to
startup as it has to go and fetch the headers everytime.  If it had
header caching for imap accounts it would be much more viable as a imap
reader.

You don't need it I'm ussing the OSS plugin since I'm using straight

I think the only reason to use the arts output plugin if you want to use
