space utilization control

[Thierry ITTY]

Hello

I wish i could control space utilisation on directories, something the same
way that quota control it on file systems.

I have a big file system which holds projects informations, and on which a
main directory is created for each project, and I wish that none of those
main project directories can grow more than a given size. I can't manage so
as one project = one group so I can't use quotas. I prefer not to consider
the possibility that one project = one file system.

btw this file system is a samba share

any advice ?

I'm not entirely sure what you exactly want control via a web interface

Hope you find them helpful. I've made changes, and there are more recent 
versions available. They now include support for 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, plus a 
few others. The earlier versions aren't much use, other than to determine 
what version of a package was included in a given release.

You can specify the version to query on the command line.
Usage: whichcd [-v version] search_name1 search_name2
If the version isn't specified, it defaults to the version you have 
installed. (As reported by /etc/redhat-release.)

I also changed the spec file to build the rpm as noarch, as it should have 
been in the first place.

Hello Gordon,

A few times I have seen your offing on courier for an MTA. I have

  You probably did this : ^ )and not to be insulting but
did you close the directory 
 Some times I forget and can't umount or eject the cd because the system has
the the /mnt/cdrom open somewhere such as Konqueror or a terminal.

this is linux there can be if you want.  put this in ~/.bashrc
alias MURDER='kill -9'

Not sure it is your problem though if your cd is /mnt/cdrom mounted on
/dev/cdrom that is probably a symlink to the actual device (on my system
/dev/hdc) eject should unmount it unless there is something using it. 
make sure that you don't have a term sitting in that dir as the cwd or a
gui file manager with that as the current dir.

Try bookmarks -> manageBookmarks->importbookmarks and select the file
you want to import.

Xconfigurator has several LCD types listed under "Generic LCD Monitor" or 
something like that.  Scroll down to the "G" section of the monitor list 
and pick the one that matches your LCD's native resolution.

I was not the poster but I wholeheartedly belive that the rpm is WAY
more likely to work easily for a newbie.  When I first started in linux
and found a program that did not have an rpm, and believe me when I say
that even trying tofigure out what rpm did gave me a headache, I went
down the path of tring to compile a program on a machine tha did not
have the development packages installed.  no compiler, no make, no
patch, no nada.  I had no idea what any of this stuff was.  I spent two
days trying to get all the stuff I needed and hated every minute of it.

At least with a binary rpm you are guaranteed to have all the tools you
need to install it on any standard install.  You don't have to learn
about tarballs compressed tarballs make files be in a certain directory,
none of that.  a single command, rpm -ivh /path/to/file works everytime
as long as it is the correct rpm and not depenency issues of course. 
rpm will even tell you if there is something missing and not make you
read though the compiler and linker output that was extremely
intimidating to me.

No doubt about it IMNSHO rpm is way easier for newbies and this not so
newbie too.

I'm not currently up on all the switches for it and what not, but I'd 
suggest opening a terminal window and trying 'info tar'.  This will pop 
up the info viewer for tar, which should be able to do everything you 
want and then some.  A shortcut for us lazy folk is to open Midnight 
Commander (mc), move to the directory in question, hit F2, and select 
'Make a release of the current subdirectory (tar.gz)'  This will take 
care of most of the dirty work for you.  The tar.bz2 version has 
somewhat better compression, but takes longer to pack and unpack.  Six 
one way, half a dozen the other.

Monte

Archiving Folders

[Jim Hale]

How would I compress/archive a set of folders into one file?

I mean, what I'd like to do is archive the COMPLETE contents of my
/var/www folder (including all folders, subfolders, users/groups,
read/write access etc) so that I can copy the file to another machine
for backing up to tape with my other stuff.

I have been using Samba to map to the folder, but when I copy stuff over
to my Win2K backup machine, if something crashes on the Linux box and I
have to copy stuff back, I'm having to reset user/groups and their
permissions to the folders and files.

I want a file that I can copy back to the Linux box, un-archive (with
paths) so that everything is back to normal in a minimum amount of time.

I used to do stuff like this with the DOS version of PkZip many moons
ago.

Re: how do i kill this *)$%(**(#$*& thing???

[Patrick May]

Make sure you are not currently in the cd. By that I mean, for example a
"normal" RedHat install, somewhere in /mnt/cdrom/.

You can always just issue "cd" and it will return you to your home
directory. Then "eject". I believe by default this will eject /dev/cdrom
(including umounting if needed). You only need options to eject if it

If you use something like VMware, then it's possible.  However, with any
other approach, if they say you've got a dedicated server, request root
access.  Then shut the box down.  If nobody complains, then the server is
yours :-)

Anyone know of a compressing proxy for RedHat? Apache mod_proxy with mod_gzip does not work.

[Apolinaras Sinkevicius]

I am looking for a compressing proxy for RedHat Linux,
since mod_gzip to mod_proxy combination does not work.
 Any ideas?
It would be great if I could compress proxy traffic

I've been able to simply say "eject" to get the CD both unmounted AND
ejected.  I never specify an eject target.

One doesn't need to unmount before ejecting a CD...the eject command will 
do it for you.

However, what Daniel is not doing, and what must be done, is that eject 
has to be told what to eject.

"eject /mnt/cdrom" would probably be his best bet.

Re: RE DSL IP ROBBERY

[Mike Burger]

In all fairness, "always on" does not equal "always grabbing the same IP".

"Always on" means that your connection can be on 24/7.  However, it does 
not mean that if you disconnect, or if you're on a DHCP based connection, 
that you're going to get the same IP, every time.

You weren't guaranteed a static IP when you were using dialup, were you?  
What makes you think you should be guaranteed one, now?

If you want a static IP, you need to be willing to pay for it...either via 
a few bucks a month to your provider, or in the price of a real broadband 
connection.

hehehe, the MURDER command is "kill -9 ".

I think RH runs the autofs service by default which auto mounts CDs.  If
you don't like that, turn off autofs.

Other than ctrl-alt-del, there is not much you can do while the system
is booting.  To fix your problem, though, you can modify the /sbin/ifup
script to limit the DHCP timeout to something like 12-15 seconds.  I
found in RH 7.3 that it tries TWO DHCP clients before giving up.  First
dhcpcd, then pump, so you have to wait for it to time out twice.  So, I
just commented out the pump line and now I wait 12 seconds on my laptop
when I'm home on the wireless :)

Here is the relevant fragment:

# tkw -- added -t 12 for DHCP timeout and comment out call to pump.
# it takes too long to use two DHCP clients.
if [ -x /sbin/dhcpcd ] && /sbin/dhcpcd ${DHCPCDARGS} -t 12 ${DEVICE}
; then
echo $" done."
#elif [ -z "`pidof -x dhcpcd`" ] && [ -x /sbin/pump ] && /sbin/pump
${PUMPAR
GS} -i ${DEVICE}; then
#   echo $" done."

It's done by sending control codes to the terminal.  You can do it in
perl or any language as long as you send the right codes.  Look at the

I seem to remember the DNS domain being set in /etc/sysconfig/network:

DOMAINNAME=mydomain.tld

...not by using the domainname command which affects NIS, but not DNS.

I'm not perfect, but I can see no way in which they could mask this, so I'd 
call it "impossible".

You _are_ sort of rambling and ranting, actually. Could you maybe stick to

Bull.

Whatever "super big business" you're talking about, I've never seen it on 
the hosting side. AOL and Microsoft both do bad things to people, but 
that's mostly on the client side of the Internet. (And it doesn't have to 
be that way.)

However, hosting and colocation and capable datacenters are available all 
around the world, at commodity pricing. If you can see hosting fees being 
on the level of a mall, either you're sitting somewhere very different from 
where I am or you just don't understand the cost economics at play in both 
scenarios... the one has *nothing* to do with the other except for the 
single, less-than-relevant fact that in both cases, you might be selling 
something (or might not).

Huh?

There's a server, you get root access to it, full control of the box, 
including networking, packages, everything. Running the entire server is 
something you know pretty well. Hence, "dedicated" server: yours and yours 
only. The hosting company should never have any access to it at all.

How would they go about cheating you? I can think of stuff like FreeVSD, 
but that would be obvious.

Hi - 
I've been reading your posts on the redhat list.  I get
the list in digest mode, so I can't reply individually, but I thought I
would send you a quick note.

The "domainname" command has nothing to do with
DNS domain (like yahoo.com or whatever).  The domainname command, as
stated in the man pages, is for setting the NIS/YP domain name for that
machine.  The NIS/YP domain name is akin to the Windows NT
"domain" which has nothing to do with an internet/DNS/TCP/IP
domain.

As long as your hostname is correct, and you have the
correct domain entry in /etc/resolv.conf you are good to go.  Unless
you are running NIS/YP, and I didn't see anywhere in your posts that you
are, there is no need to worry about the domainname command.

There is no utility to change the domain part of a
FQDN.  You do that in /etc/resolv.conf.  So: 
1. make sure output of hostname is correct 
2. add "domain somedomain.com" to
/etc/resolv.conf 
3. you're done 
For example, I'm running numerous servers, and the output of
"domainname" on all of them is null, and I can assure you they
are all working correctly from an addressing standpoint.  I don't
run NIS or YP on any of my machines (LDAP is better).

Hope this helps.

Make sure DNS is functioning properly, or turn off DNS and identd
lookups.  (identd might be the delay if you have similarly silly rules
on your own machine/router.  Don't DROP packets)

Because the destination for packets coming in to eth0 is never
"localhost".  It's always the address you've assigned to the NIC.  Don't
specify -d .

Re: IP GAMES FOR SUCKING BUCKS

[Gordon Messmer]

Open the web server by IP address in your browser (http://127.0.0.1/).

If you see your web page, you're almost certainly on a dedicated
server.  However, unless you don't think the performance of the machine
is up to snuff, I wouldn't worry about it.  Sharing saves money.

RE: hostname and domainname

[Gordon Messmer]

You've been told where the 'domainname' is stored.  It's "NISDOMAIN" in
/etc/sysconfig/network, but it only gets set if you're running ypbind
(or ypserv).  'domainname' is NIS information, so if you're not *using*
NIS, don't worry about it.

Re: hostname and domainname

[daniel]

follow the posts of the others to change your hostname and domain name.  i
believe the advice was to look in /etc/sysconfig/network and
/etc/resolv.conf respectively.  i was just pointing out that if you're using
domainname to check for something OTHER THAN the NIS domain, you were
barking up the wrong tree.  it says right in the man page that domainname is
for showing or setting NIS/YP and dnsdomainname is just for _showing_ your
domain name.

This question just came up on the Valhalla list this morning. I'll just 
paste in the same reply I gave there.

I wrote a little tool for just this purpose. I find it handy, and it does
save downloading rpms that I already have.

[mfratoni@paradox devel]$ whichcd lynx elinks

Searching for lynx...
CD-3:lynx-2.8.4-18.i386.rpm
SOURCE-CD-2:lynx-2.8.4-18.src.rpm

Searching for elinks...
CD-2:elinks-0.3.0-1.i386.rpm
SOURCE-CD-1:elinks-0.3.0-1.src.rpm

It's reasonably fast, too:
time whichcd lynx elinks
real0m0.028s
user0m0.010s
sys 0m0.020s

It only works for 7.3 at the moment, but I am working on adding the other
releases to it. (Actually, it works on any release, it just gives answers
that apply to 7.3) ;)
I made an rpm for it, if anyone wants to try it.

http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rpms/whichcd-0.1-1.i386.rpm

Hope you find it helpful.

RE: RE DSL IP ROBBERY

[Joshua Cragun]

Are you sure you have investigated all of your options? Remember,
with DSL, the phone company just provides the line. Although they'd love to
be your ISP as well, you can always opt out. Try calling a bunch of smaller
ISP's in your area and ask about having a static (or 5) IP over your DSL
line. I bet you can find one you can talk into it.
Have you investigated ISDN, Wireless, and Fractional T-1? Some of
these are affordable for small business, and they all come with static IP
connectivity. 
Why not co-locate? You provide they box, and it can be much cheaper
than leasing a dedicated server. And before you sell out colocation and
dedicated host, remember all the pluses that they offer: redundancy, power
back-ups, higher latency, scalable bandwidth availability.
Finally, if you don't need all of the pluses above, and don't care
about downtime and  service outages (DSL is far from 99.9% reliability), why
do you need a static IP? Most ISP's set their leases to indefinate - as long
as the connection is on, your IP won't change. Write a script to update DNS
everytime your connection is reset.

Boot script cancelling

[Casey Scott]

Hi all,

Is there a keystroke that will stop a boot script? For example, if the system 
was waiting for a dhcp address to be given to it, and the system is not on a 
network. Something similar to cntrl-c in the console.

RE DSL IP ROBBERY

[ebinc]

Is there a way an experience tech (their probably going to have one) can
hide the fact your not on a dedicated server or is it impossible to mask?
Im sorry if it seems like Im flipping out! but this DSL/CABLE COMPANY IP
buck sucking is crazy
at first there selling point was always on! no noise, the new wave what they
really mean is pay but don't use!then pay some more people in general are
stupid!they think MERGERS HAVE SCREWED US ALL WAKE UP
Its only a matter of time before super big business feel they suckered
enough surfers on line to start pricing us off line completely, I can see
hosting fees being on the level of a mall one day and online product prices
going through the roof
and if your companies not worth millions your just like the rest of us too

[Stephen Spalding]

Hello all,

I’m having some issues with Apache virtual hosting. I
have Red Hat 7.0 installed, IP address of 10.0.10.76
with DNS ‘A Record’ name ‘slin01dx’. I have two apache
virtual hosts defined that are called
timesheet.graybar.com and oncall.graybar.com. I have
only recently added the oncall.graybar.com entry. Both
of these entries have DNS ‘CNAME’ records that point
back to ‘slin01dx’.

The problem that I’m having is that regardless of
which name you type in, the first virtual host entry
in httpd.conf is the site that you’re taken to. In
other words, if timesheet.graybar.com is listed first
in httpd.conf and you type in oncall.graybar.com in
your browser, it takes you to the
timesheet.graybar.com site, and vice-versa.

Does anyone know what might be causing this? Here’s
what my virtual host entries look like:

NameVirtualHost 10.0.10.76

ServerAdmin stephen.spalding@groupwise
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/home/tss/cgi-bin/"
DocumentRoot /home/tss/htdocs
ServerName timesheet.graybar.com
ErrorLog /home/tss/logs/tss.error
TransferLog /home/tss/logs/tss.access
  
   AuthType Basic
AuthName isonly
AuthUserFile /home/main/auth/passwd
AuthGroupFile /home/main/auth/group
require valid-user
require spaldst
AllowOverride None

DirectoryIndex index.pl
order allow,deny
allow from all

Re: hostname and domainname

[Jake McHenry]

No, this doesn't help, I already looked at this... I can use
dnsdomainname to set it, it gives me this when I try...


dnsdomainname: You can't change the DNS domain name with this
command

Unless you are using bind or NIS for host lookups you can change the
DNS
domain name (which is part of the FQDN) in the /etc/hosts
file.

If I change anything with hostname and domainname, when I reboot it
goes back to the old values. This is what this whole post is
about...

RE: Solaris NIS Client wont see user on Linux NIS Server : I FOUNDA WORKAROUND !!

Unfortunately my work requires that I 
use NIS.  Personally I would take
a look just to educate myself.

why not go ahead an implement OpenLDAP? 
it is a lot better and supersedes the nis stuff.
also, it uses TLS/SSL which is a plus.
in addition, I have my samba passwords stored in OpenLDAP
where that is also used to auth samba users.
not sure if nis does samba too.

just a idea.

Usually they give you some sort of shell access so you can telnet into it

Ok, I already had domain in /etc/resolv.conf

Still, when I reboot, when I type hostname, I get the host + domain name, 
when I type domainname, still get (none).

dnsdomainname get's the domain name.


I guess if no one knows where this is stored, I can always put it in a

iptables issues

[Matt Sales]

Hello,
I'm setting up iptables policies on one of my machines and I'm having some
problems with it...  For a mail server, I set up the following rules:

iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -A -i eth0 -p tcp -d localhost --destination-port smtp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A -i eth0 -p udp -d localhost --destination-port smtp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A -i eth0 -p tcp -d localhost --destination-port pop3 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A -i eth0 -p udp -d localhost --destination-port pop3 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A -i eth0 -p tcp -d localhost --destination-port ssh -j ACCEPT
iptables -A -i eth0 -p tcp -d localhost --destination-port 1024: -j ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

when checking mail, I can get through but sending and receiving takes an
extremely long time...

Also (a side note), for some reason I can still subvert the firewall using
sftp (port 115)...  I have no idea why.

If you want to configure the domainname, set `domainname = xxx' in
/etc/sysconfig/network.

NIS (Network Information Service) is something else althogether.  I've 
never used it, but from what I've read it was developed by Sun to allow 
system information to be distributed across a network and can be used to 
override the default domain name.  I guess it is used to overcome the 
fact that network nodes were originally autonomous.  It was called yellow 
pages so everything about `yp' under `man domainname' and `man ypcat' is 
dealing with NIS.

set HOSTNAME in /etc/sysconfig/network
set domain in /etc/resolv.conf

that is all I have ever needed to change.

NISDOMAIN will not effect the name or domain that your machine is on, it
is only used (AFAIK) to determine where the machine will authenticate if
you are using nis authentication.

Has anyone else noticed the lack of the dotted line tear off menu handle in gnome 
under RH 7.3. Is this a bug? Did RH disable tear off menus in gnome? If so, why? Is 
there a way to re-enable them? Gnome isn't as useful without tearoff menus. RH 7.2 had 
them as did Ximian gnome.

I put this line in my .bashrc:

this perhaps will give some color to your xterms, too and perhaps also

Youch.  I can see how the files would be big.  Thanks, but that
only gets me part of the way there.  

In SuSE, if I decide to install mod_php4 package for use with apache, I
can click on a search button in yast, it finds all packages related to
php.  I double click the one I want to install, yast then determines if
there are any dependencies for that rpm and marks all dependencies to be
installed as well (the red hat installer does a check like this). 
Finally, I click install and it tells me which CD to load to install the
package.

In Red Hat, it seems that if I want to install mod_php4, I have to find
which CD has php on it manually, then install it from there.  Using the
above index technique, I would know which CD has my php package, but I
would not know if it had other dependencies until I tried to install it
or did an "rpm --requires" on it.  I was hoping there was a slightly
more automated way to get there.

Keith

Re: Solaris NIS Client wont see user on Linux NIS Server : I FOUNDA WORKAROUND !!

[Steve Lee]

why not go ahead an implement OpenLDAP? 
it is a lot better and supersedes the nis stuff.
also, it uses TLS/SSL which is a plus.
in addition, I have my samba passwords stored in OpenLDAP
where that is also used to auth samba users.
not sure if nis does samba too.

just a idea.

... yo, just did that: nothing, as I expected: because most of the
commands that are logged there, are -if I understood correctly-
commands very relevant to system security, such as when a file system
has been mounted too often without having run a fsck on it, or when a
dial-in command was made etc  but "normal" commands, like deleting
a file or so, are IINM not recorded there ..

Thanks for your help, Keith ... I think I'll give up now.

A hint for Red Hat, if someone from the company is reading this: I
have here Red Hat 6.2 on the machine, and psacct - as it seems - was
not installed here per default ... I don't know how this situation was
handled in subsequent releases, but *if* psacct still today (i.e. on
Red Hat 7.3) is not installed per default it might be perhaps a good
idea to change this situation in future releases.
Thanks for at least considering it, Red Hat Inc. ... :)

And thanks a lot, again, to those who helped.

Wolfgang

You can include your domain name with the hostname:

HOSTNAME='foo.com'

At least, it seems to work on my 7.3 box.

Re: Which rpms on which CD?

What I did is generate 2 txt files with the contents of each CD:

I know the files are big, but they are handy when I need a specific file inside an RPM

Hope this helps

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 15/05/02 12:45 >>>
I am only a part time RH user (mostly SuSE), but I wanted to take a look
at the new 7.3.

After I completed the initial install, I wanted to go back and add a few
other packages.  Is there any RH tool or way to do this other than
mounting each CD and browsing the RedHat/RPMS directory to find what you
want?

Also, I noticed that some php rpms are on CD2 and some are on CD3.  Is
there any RH tool to handle the dependencies between rpms (other than
rpm error messages when you try to install one)?

I was quite impressed with 7.3 installer and it detected all of my
hardware without a problem (except my winmodem).  There is a nice
selection of software and the inclusion of CUPS and Postfix (with the
switch scripts) resolved my biggest issues with older versions.

Here is what you need to do.

2. vi /etc/sysconfig/network
3. add/modify 
HOSTNAME=your host
NISDOMAIN=your domain.

I assume you have a static ip and not using DHCP.

Which rpms on which CD?

[Keith Winston]

I am only a part time RH user (mostly SuSE), but I wanted to take a look
at the new 7.3.

After I completed the initial install, I wanted to go back and add a few
other packages.  Is there any RH tool or way to do this other than
mounting each CD and browsing the RedHat/RPMS directory to find what you
want?

Also, I noticed that some php rpms are on CD2 and some are on CD3.  Is
there any RH tool to handle the dependencies between rpms (other than
rpm error messages when you try to install one)?

I was quite impressed with 7.3 installer and it detected all of my
hardware without a problem (except my winmodem).  There is a nice
selection of software and the inclusion of CUPS and Postfix (with the
switch scripts) resolved my biggest issues with older versions.

Best Regards,
Keith

how to get up2date to work via Gateway

[Isaac Liu]

hello,

I have a win2k PC that I turned it into
a Gateway and it sits between
my own LAN (192.168.70.x) and the Corporate Network (192.168.3.x).
My RH servers are on the 70.x network and
it can ping to the 192.168.3.x addreess (via Gateway of course).

My other win2k PC that is in the 70.x network
can access the web fine via the Gateway after I specify
the DNS server in the 192.168.3.x

So how do I do the same thing with my RH servers?
I dont want to browse the internet.  What I am
really interested is getting rhn_register & up2date to work.

Any help is greately appreciated.

Without psacct, the only way to find out when a command ran is if it
left some trail behind in a log file.  Have you run grep on all your log
files?

THIS IS DANGEROUS

Remove the space between "+" and workstation_name. Otherwise, the X
service is opened to the world!! Don't believe it? Easy enough to test.

Log out, log back in (that's required if you already typed the command
that was specified further up, otherwise not needed), open a terminal
and type

xhost +


Now follow the other part below and see if it displays the X-related
stuff. It will because the "+" all by itself tells it to open X up to
anything at all.

I had to learn this the hard way. Wasn't by an intruder, but by a
friendly force on a machine that wasn't authorized (I thought) access.
Though it's a little odd-looking and maybe confusing, the xhost manpage
says the same thing ([+]name being specific, and + being everybody).

Hi,
Thanks for the great tip -- just installed a Redhat package for
psacct, and 'tho not yet knowing too much on the details of the tool:

after a first glance on 'man lastcomm' and some simple tests with the
tool it *seems* that - concerning its abillity to deliver infos on
previous commands - it works only for commands exctd. *after* the time
of the psacct install ... so although Im prepared now for the future
:) I still have the problem for the "old" (pre-install-) commands in
bash_history ...

Again: thanks, Wanderlei Antonio Cavassin, but I'm still having a
problem   :)

Wolfgang

hostname and domainname

[Jake McHenry]

Hi, everytime I reboot my machine, I have to reset my hostname and 
domainname. When I reboot, my hostname get's set back to what it was when I 
installed redhat, and the domainname goes to empty. I set them back by 
hostname  and domainname  and it's fine then, but as soon as I 
reboot or go init1, it goes back to the wrong settings. Where are the files 
that I can manually change these entries?

Thanks,
Jake

1. first rpm -e kernel-source-*.rpm
   second extract the linux-*.tar.gz
2. You must compile your kernel with acpi modules.

At the server try:

[user@server] $xhost + workstation_name

On the workstation:

[user@workstation] $ export DISPLAY=server:0

Re: Sendmail stopping Spam

[Pieter De Wit]

Hello James,

Hows things ? (I think I helped you out with a firewall problem awhile
back...)

Anycase, I also get this and it doesn't help blocking hotmail.com, what if
one of your clients send from there ? My solution is to block access from
just that server. 99% of the servers that send these e-mails allow you to
relay mail. Just check the last header in the e-mail, take the from IP
address and put it in your /etc/mail/access file as the following :

1.2.3.4550 Spammers arn't welcome. Mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be removed
after you fixed your server.

Then rebuild your access file and restart sendmail. I don't know if you have
to restart, but I normally do, just to check.

Anything after the 550 will be logged into the mail servers log. When/If the
admin sees this, hopefully he will do something about it.

Hope this helps !

Cheers,

Pieter

Install psacct (enable proccess accounting) and use
lastcomm command.

LASTCOMM(1)   LASTCOMM(1)

NAME
   lastcomm  -   print  out information about previously exe­
   cuted commands.

# rpm -qf /usr/bin/lastcomm
psacct-6.3.5-1cl

I use it on rare occassions, and I have 5900 opened and it works. I'm
pretty sure 5800 is for browsers, But I don't use it that way and have
the ports closed there.
