daemon and killproc problem in startup script

[Williams, Quinton L]

I am using RH9 and cannot get the daemon and killproc commands to work in my init.d
startup scripts.

I keep getting the following error:

 

# /sbin/service dhcpd stop

Stopping dhcpd: /etc/init.d/dhcpd: line 26: killproc:
command not found

 

# /sbin/service dhcpd start

Starting dhcpd: /etc/init.d/dhcpd: line 18: daemon: command not found

 

I was able to get the start function to work by just
removing the daemon command and leaving the path to the program:

 

start() {

    echo -n $"Starting $prog:
"

    ./usr/sbin/dhcpd

 

Any help would be great, but please make it simple since I’m
pretty new to Linux.

I use upload clauses like so:
upload  /cust/*/*   *   no
upload  /cust/*/*   /pub/upload yes * * 2770
This forces all uploads to go the upload folder and allows group access.
There are a bunch of examples in the man page for ftpaccess.  Also look
at the upload.configuration.HOWTO file which was installed as part of
the rpm.
You can also use the defumask statement to tweak the permissions.

 

I am using webmin to configure wu-ftp. I have setup default umask to 755 
for all classes but looks like this doesn't work because when I upload 
files they have 022 permission.

You can't do what you want.  VMware is designed in such a way that it
uses its own set of virtual drivers for Video.

Hi Ed,

I've installed as shown because I want to use Geforce native driver, working without 
Linux too.

Following your steps, I can't boot Windows XP without Linux :-)

Another idea?

Re: GRUB install on hard drive

[Kelerion]

I'm not that good with grub.. but can't you boot from floppy and type 
"grub-install /dev/sda" or "grub-install /dev/md0"?

or am I missing some point here..

Hi,

I built a box last night with the following config:

4x 9gb UW2 scsi drives off an adaptec controller

First drive (/dev/sda) or hd(0,0) in grub.conf, I
installed Windows 2000 professional. I made this a
primary partition.
Second and third drives (/dev/sdb and /dev/sdc) or
hd(1,0) under grub.conf I created a Linux software
raid 1 mirror and installed Red Hat Linux 8.0. Also
made this a primary partition.
I seemingly mistakenly installed grub on /dev/sdb.

When booting the machine, Windows 2000 automatically
boots, when what I really want is for grub's menu to
kick in and allow me to choose it, defaulting to
Linux.
I realise now I should have chosen /dev/sda to install
grub on the redhat linux install (if it would allow
me) but am now trying to get grub installed on
/dev/sda, and realise I don't know how to do this
without re-installing linux.
Anyone know how to do this?

Googling I came up with grubconfig, which is a script
that installs grub into an MBR, but this does not seem
to work for software raid under /dev/md0 (which really
resides under /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc).
At the moment I'm booting the system from the boot
floppy, which only seems to start one cpu (it's a dual
system). I also tried changing the boot drive on
adaptec's controller to 1, but that didn't work
either.
Any ideas how I can install grub into this type of MBR
combination?

good system monitors

[Shawn]

Hello,

I am using System Monitor 2.0.4 on RH9 and wonder if anything better is out 
there as it just doesn't seems very accurate.  When I run a java process 
(Tomcat) that runs the cpu up to 100%, the process itself shows 0% cpu 
usage but of course when I kill it then the system goes back to a normal 
level.

In this case, I knew what the cause was, but in general I am not impressed 
with System Monitor 2.0.4 for other reasons as well.

Why did you do that?  This is not the way to create virtual machines...
Sounds more like you are setting up Dual Boot.

Sureyou have set up a dual boot environment.

Forget about what you have done in installing XP in /dev/hda1.  VMWware
doesn't look there as it creates its own set of "virtual disks".

What you want to do is follow the documentation for VMware.

Basically

1.  Boot RH 9.
2.  Install VMware from the RPM's.
3.  Run the VMware configuration util.
4.  Put your XP CD in your CD drive.
4.  Start VMware.
5.  VMware will (after you install your license I think) prompt you to
create a new virtual machine.
6.  Follow the prompts and install XP from there

Re: samba and iptables

[Ian L]

Hmm, looks like i got it working by playing with the config file a bit more.

-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --dport 135,139,445 
-j ACCEPT
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -m multiport --dport 
135,137,138,139,445  -j ACCEPT

those are the two lines i added, which seem to have it working now. One 
last question though ... what's the parameter to tell it to only accept 
this traffic from a specific IP? is it -s ip-address ?

thanks for the help,

Hi Ian,

I was just having the same problem and here is what Ben told me to do. 
This is a quote from him:

Yep, if this box is your firewall, protecting your windows clients from the
internet, you could be in some serious trouble right now...
If we assume that you are running a standard class C network, then I think
the two rules should look like:
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 137:139 -j
ACCEPT
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p udp -m udp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 137:139 -j
ACCEPT
the -s option tells iptables what source IPs to match the packet against, so
if your ip range is different, you'll need to put a different number there.
Of course, there's always shorewall (http://www.shorewall.net) :)

Vmware on Red Hat 9

[Pablo Rodriguez Gonzalez]

Hi guys,

I've installed VMware 4 Workstation, and doesn't work on my RH.

The steps:

1.- I've installed Windows XP in /dev/hda1

2.- I've installed Linux in /dev/hda3 and /dev/hda4

3.- I've installed VMware in Linux.

4.- I've configured VMware in Linux, to boot Windows XP , all right.

5.- I've configured GRUB to boot Windows XP.

Now, when I run VMware, GRUB gives me next error:

"GRUB Loading stage1.5.

Grub Loading.Please Wait...

Error 17"

and Windows XP doesn't run (and Linux).

The strange, the thing I don't understand: without VMware, I turn on my computer and 
GRUB can boot sucessfully Windows XP and Linux.

What's the matter?

Kind Regards,

PD: Yes, I read the docs in VMware homepage, but they doesn't work.

Hi Ian.  Hopefully I can offer a suggestion that will not only solve
your problem, but show *you* how to do it.  You know, the old "give a
man a fish" theory.  ;-)
Install tcpdump, if you don't have it already.  Determine what traffic
(SSH, HTTP, DNS, etc.) you might see across the relevant network
interface (eth1?) that Samba traffic should traverse.  Now, run the
following (with iptables enabled):
"tcpdump -ni eth1 not port 22 and not port 80 and not port 53"
(etc, etc.)  Include a "and not port XX" for each known service you
*don't* want to see.  This should (hopefully) reveal which
ports/protocols that Samba is using.  Those will be the ones you'll want
to add to your iptables ruleset to allow SMB traffic through.
There's always a chance that you'll catch more traffic than you expect.
It's a case of trial and error.  You're generally looking for TCP/UDP
traffic between ports 135-139 and possibly 445.  Hope this helps!


Thanks,

i do appreciate the information. however, i think i have information 
overload from tcpdump right now. There is a LOT of info scrolling 
across the screen. Some of it i can figure out what its trying to do, 
although i cant figure out ports or anything useful for iptables. Most 
of the traffic seems to be broadcast messages from other networked 
PC's and printers. It became a little more readable if i used -nnqi 
but it was still mostly greek to me.

I did try allowing ports 135-139 and 445 in iptables for both tcp and 
udp. But i guess i did something wrong.

Hmm, looks like i got it working by playing with the config file a bit 
more.

-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --dport 
135,139,445 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -m multiport --dport 
135,137,138,139,445  -j ACCEPT

How about use the following two steps,

1. Boot Linux use "linux rescue"
2. input command "chroot /mnt/sysimage"
3. input command "grub-install /dev/sda", where /dev/sda/ is the boot
disk with MBR. I suppose that u installed windows on /dev/sda

Simple to read the same messages in different locations, and
deleting as I want. This is becouse I've to keep a copy of "all" emails
at work, and at home I "don't" want to flush "any" messages that are
work-related.

Thinking this that are possible to "KEEP" the messageson the server.

Maybe IMAP solve my problem (Use IMAP in one location and POP3
"flushing" the messages in another.), I'm trying...

GRUB install on hard drive

[Michael Mansour]

Hi,

I built a box last night with the following config:

4x 9gb UW2 scsi drives off an adaptec controller

First drive (/dev/sda) or hd(0,0) in grub.conf, I
installed Windows 2000 professional. I made this a
primary partition.

Second and third drives (/dev/sdb and /dev/sdc) or
hd(1,0) under grub.conf I created a Linux software
raid 1 mirror and installed Red Hat Linux 8.0. Also
made this a primary partition.

I seemingly mistakenly installed grub on /dev/sdb.

When booting the machine, Windows 2000 automatically
boots, when what I really want is for grub's menu to
kick in and allow me to choose it, defaulting to
Linux.

I realise now I should have chosen /dev/sda to install
grub on the redhat linux install (if it would allow
me) but am now trying to get grub installed on
/dev/sda, and realise I don't know how to do this
without re-installing linux.

Anyone know how to do this?

Googling I came up with grubconfig, which is a script
that installs grub into an MBR, but this does not seem
to work for software raid under /dev/md0 (which really
resides under /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc).

At the moment I'm booting the system from the boot
floppy, which only seems to start one cpu (it's a dual
system). I also tried changing the boot drive on
adaptec's controller to 1, but that didn't work
either.

Any ideas how I can install grub into this type of MBR
combination?

I've added my fstab, raidtab and grub.conf below for
you.

open ports 137-139 (tcp/udp) on your samba machine.

or u can make use of iptraf:

(as root)

iptraf -s eth0

on your linux machine to watch how your windows machine
connects (what port and protos) to your linux machine when
iptables is turned off. after that, make the changes
to your iptables ruleset and then turn it on.

hth.

Yes.  Because it was not "scheduled" to open on the 15th.  They say

Hi Ian.  Hopefully I can offer a suggestion that will not only solve
your problem, but show *you* how to do it.  You know, the old "give a
man a fish" theory.  ;-)
Install tcpdump, if you don't have it already.  Determine what traffic
(SSH, HTTP, DNS, etc.) you might see across the relevant network
interface (eth1?) that Samba traffic should traverse.  Now, run the
following (with iptables enabled):
"tcpdump -ni eth1 not port 22 and not port 80 and not port 53"
(etc, etc.)  Include a "and not port XX" for each known service you
*don't* want to see.  This should (hopefully) reveal which
ports/protocols that Samba is using.  Those will be the ones you'll want
to add to your iptables ruleset to allow SMB traffic through.
There's always a chance that you'll catch more traffic than you expect.
It's a case of trial and error.  You're generally looking for TCP/UDP
traffic between ports 135-139 and possibly 445.  Hope this helps!
Thanks,

i do appreciate the information. however, i think i have information 
overload from tcpdump right now. There is a LOT of info scrolling across 
the screen. Some of it i can figure out what its trying to do, although i 
cant figure out ports or anything useful for iptables. Most of the traffic 
seems to be broadcast messages from other networked PC's and printers. It 
became a little more readable if i used -nnqi but it was still mostly greek 
to me.

I did try allowing ports 135-139 and 445 in iptables for both tcp and udp. 
But i guess i did something wrong.

Hmm, looks like i got it working by playing with the config file a bit more.

-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -m multiport --dport 135,139,445 -j 
ACCEPT
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -i eth0 -p udp -m multiport --dport 
135,137,138,139,445  -j ACCEPT

those are the two lines i added, which seem to have it working now. One 
last question though ... what's the parameter to tell it to only accept 
this traffic from a specific IP? is it -s ip-address ?

thanks for the help,

ian

I've counfigured Evolution to keep messages o the server. (of course)
Remembering that fetchmail continue to add a lot of repeated messages in
my mailbox.

Ah... If I configure fetchmail to "flush" the messages, all works
perfectly... but I don't have a copy of the messages on the server !!!

Hi Truc,

Check out the installation guide for Redhat 8 on their site,
it has a section for making network boot disks:

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/install-guide/s1-steps-install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-DISKS

Essentially what you'll need to do is make a floppy disk
using bootnet.img.

But did you tell Evolution to leave the messages on the server?

Not if you tell them to leave the messages on the server. I know as I've 
done that and found it too annoying (that and I get a lot of spam) so I 
just download everything from my POP3 accounts.

Network intallation bootdisk

[truc nguyen]

I have a old computer that its boot sequences are
floppy A and hard drive C. I also have other computers
with Red Hat 8.0 on the LAN.

Now I want to create a network installation bootdisk
to boot from the old computer and get boot.img from
other computers through LAN.

How do I create the network installation floppy ?

Any suggestion would be appreciate.

Hey, guess what?  I was going to look into your problem and try to offer
some assistance, until...

You became a jerk.  You've berated another user who attempted to resolve
your problem by yelling at him.  Twice.  Hope you have better luck with
other folks, it's certainly not coming from my direction.

samba and iptables

[Ian L]

Hey all,

I'm trying to set up samba to work with a win2k3 server and a redhat 8 
server. I've got samba 2.x installed. It seems to be working, although i 
havent finished setting up all the user permissions. When i turn iptables 
off, i get a password prompt in windows when i click on the server.

when i turn ip tables on, it just sits for 20 seconds and then tells me i 
dont have permission to access this network resource.

i tried following the setup directions here:
http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-security.html#SMBPASSWD as far as 
iptables goes. But obviously i didnt do something right. Can anyone tell me 
what entries i need to add to the iptables file to get samba to work?

Right now i'm only planning on having the one windows machine talking to 
it. Both are on the same network with publicly available IP addresses.

thanks,

Ian

Negative !!!

If I configure the "same" account in Evolution (in example), only the
"new" messages are downloaded, and "only" one time. but the
fetchmail download the same messages that are in the remote POP3 server
every time it runs...

"Any" Other email clients that I've tested (Outlook Express,

Create a directory on the windows system and share it. Mount the windows 
share onto the Linux system. Now you can rsync.

Here is how to mount a windows share:

/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=,password= ///  /mnt/data

Example:

/bin/mount -t smbfs -o username=bgates,password=moron   
//windoze/data/mnt/data

Here is how to rsync: (Note the are many options to rsync, these are 
just the ones I use)

rsync  -rvlopgtu /path/to/linux/data /mnt/data/

Hope this helps,
Chuck

Assuming he can fsck in the first place. I had a similar problem with

If they are represented on the scsi bus properly (no ID conflicts,

to format the disks and mkfs (man mkfs) to place filesytems on them.

I'd reccommend taking a look at the the pcmcia source either tarball or

I have an older 128 on the server. Support is not compiled into the
standard kernel. While this runs level 3 always, I can go to 5 if
necessary.

You might want to experiment with a custom compiled kernel.

Okay, since you have an xSeries machine - your architecture is x86. 
This is a problem also for newer releases of Red Hat Linux.  I have
filed a bug in Red Hat Bugzilla to enhance Kudzu (the hardware probing
utility) to allow users to configure a newly added drive.

Bug 104464
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104464

Since your distribution is Red Hat Linux 7.1, I'm going to tell you the
long (it'll work in Linux of any flavor) way.

You must first find the corresponding /dev entry for your SCSI drive. 
You can either look in /var/log/messages or type "dmesg | more" and
search for your drive /dev entry (usually /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.)

Once you've determined that your drive is being seen by the system, as
root - type "fdisk /dev/"

>From there, you will need to read on how to use fdisk to create
partitions.

I believe a secondary method would be to use GNU Parted (if it shipped
with RHL 7.1).  I have not done so personally, but I have heard it is
nice once you've figured out how to use it.

Re: help!!!! can not start my server, big trouble

[Tiago Ferraz Machado - estagiario]

Hi,

Just log on as root and type

fsck /

or 

fsck -A 

to check all your devices...

This error occurred because you haven`t turned off the system properly or 
because your hard disk is not 100% perfect.

This command also will ask if you want to correct some i-nodes. I suggest 
your answer yes to all of them or add a -a to the command to assume `yes` 
as default.

Could you do the following and reply with the output file

$ strace -o chsh_strace.txt chsh

It will tell us some useful information about the behavior of your

Re: Upgrading to Apache 2 on RH 7.3

[Michael Lee Yohe]

> So what does this tell me? Is the dependency list mean that rpm
> couldn't tell that a library currently installed would be replaced by a
> newer version?

Without the actual output it's hard to tell what RPM is telling you
about your system.  However, in general - it means that the new httpd
package (Apache 2.x) is dynamically linked against libraries made
available in Red Hat Linux 8/9.  Since your system has libraries for RHL
7.3, these libraries may be older than the ones necessary to use the new
httpd package.

> Or, is there a better way to accomplish this upgrade? Ideas?
> Suggestions?

You can approach this three (Red Hat only) ways - one will take personal
effort and may not work.  The other will take effort in tracking down
EVERY package that is affected by upgrading to new libraries.

Solution 1) Download the source RPM for httpd.  Attempt to build a
binary from the source RPM (on RHL 7.3, rpm --rebuild
/httpd*src.rpm).  If it produces a binary, you're in luck!  If it
doesn't (as I would expect), you do not have the sufficient devel
packages to build the binary OR the versions are too old to support it.

Solution 2) For each requirement, you must download the newer library
packages.  THEN, you may need newer program packages because old
programs will not work with the new libraries.

Both solutions take a while to perform.  You may exhaust your patience
as you find the dependency list go off the charts.

Solution 3) You can use Red Hat Network to upgrade your 7.3 machine to
9.  You must FIRST update your RHN-centric applications.  You can do
this by downloading the new "up2date" package (either from Rawhide or an
applicable channel in RHN, if available).  All of its dependencies must
be satisfied.  Newer versions of Red Hat's up2date utility allow you to
upgrade from one release to another (sweet!)

Once up2date is "updated" (no pun intended), you can specify:

# up2date --upgrade-to-release=9

up2date will perform all the necessary dependency checks to satisfy all
requirements, upgrade your machine, and when you reboot - voila!  Your
machine is magically upgraded to a newer version of Red Hat Linux. 
Skeptics aside, I have successfully performed this operation on three
machines.  The only trouble is if you're mixed non-Red Hat packages with
your Red Hat system.

That's because every Linux Distributor is applying patches to the Kernel
as they think it should be. RH has a great Kernel hacker named Alan Cox.
He maintains a Kernel line named ac. His Kernel is known supporting a
lot more Hardware than the plain vanilla you can download from
kernel.org. It also includes nptl threading, which is supposed to be
used in 2.6.

If you install the source of the kernel, rpm -ivh kernel-foo.src.rpm
you can look at /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES which patches are applied.

Greetings.


Also if you buy bleeding edge hardware, you have to wait till the Kernel
supports it. Or you can download a 2.6-testX testing Kernel and compile
your own one. As the Kernel hackers mostly have to find out for themselv
how devices are working, i think they make a great job.  

But be aware that is no stable Kernel.

Do you have any other distro of RH?? I had the same problem with RH8 . SO i uninstalled xmms from rh8 and ripped it off from rh7.2. Maybe you need mp3 plugin. Check in your configuration in xmms if you have any mp3 plugin and yet if its not working, i can't help you but if you dont have one then do what i did. Or perhaps you could download the newest tarball from http://www.xmms.org/download.php.

Automounting ISO's

[Aly Dharshi]

Hi Folks,

I have successfully mounted the Redhat9 ISO's from to /mnt/redhat. What
I would like to do next is to distribute to the client machines this
directory over nfs preferably by NFS and automounting.

I tried a hard mount using the mount command and it was empty on the
client end. Is this to be expected ? I have done things right in
/etc/exports etc etc.

Is there an easier way to automount iso's out ?

Cheers,

Aly.

If you have in foo1.txt the text 'bluegreen apples', the above would change
it to be 'redgreen apples'.  To separate out the words as single words do:

cat foo1.txt |sed 's/blue /red /' > foo2.txt.

Or do man sed for further information on ways to do the search and replace
you are wanting to do.

I use upload clauses like so:
upload  /cust/*/*   *   no
upload  /cust/*/*   /pub/upload yes * * 2770

This forces all uploads to go the upload folder and allows group access.
There are a bunch of examples in the man page for ftpaccess.  Also look
at the upload.configuration.HOWTO file which was installed as part of
the rpm.

You can also use the defumask statement to tweak the permissions.

The easier way:
1. Share the backup folder in the network.
2. Use smbclient on the RH machine to mount the folder
3. Use rsync just like if you rsync to local directory
$> rsync  /home 

Harder way:
Google around and find out how to install rsync on winxp with cygwin. I've 
never done it.

Hope that help

  This doesn't look good for the type of use you are planning.  This is 
a web server and logging

1)  Is /usr going to grow that much?  You've got less a 1G of used space 
now.

2)  You have only 4G in / which also contains /var.  /var is where Red 
Hat keeps logs, web pages, and the like.

3)You have 21G in /home.  What is going to use that space?

My advice for what it's worth.

/boot   ~100M
/   ~4G
swap~2 x ram
/vareverything else
Now once you've finished installing link /home, /opt, and /usr/local to 
/var.  These are the only places that are likely to grow in size over 
time. / and /usr will grow if you upgrade, but you still have 3G of 
space to grow into.

mv /home /var/home
mkdir /var/opt
mkdir /var/usr
mv /usr/local /var/usr
cd /

Mandrake and Me

[David Hart]

Perhaps it was the weather but I decided to re-configure our new server
with the newest Mandrake release.

For starters, Roxio has nothing to fear from current Linux applications.
Of course, my being a nitwit kind of helps things along. I burned all
three CDs and tried to boot before I realized that all I had done was to
copy the ISO files from HD to CD. It made perfect copies though :-)

So I re-burned the three CDs and was ready to rock and roll. The
distribution looked nice and the initial screens looked kind of nifty.
Things degraded rapidly from there.

For starters, I had a considerable amount of data backed up to a Reiser
partition. Apparently the 2-4-22 kernel wasn't compiled with even Reiser
module support. OK.

The first time around, I received some very cryptic error messages
similar to Yiddish, which is 14th century German written with the Hebrew
alphabet. Mandrake is comprised of English words written in German
syntax and grammar. I'm not Xenophobic; I just didn't understand where
they were telling me I f*cked up.

OK, round 2. Whatever I did got the system up and running. OK, now to
download a fresh 2.4.22 kernel and recompile with Reiser support so that
I can get to all my data. OK. I did a wget and I'm off and running. It
went fine until I got to "make_install." Then I got another
incomprehensible message in Mandrakese. Needless to say, the steps for
installing kernels (reliably time after time) to a Redhat distribution
don't quite work with MDK. Go figure. On-line help? Not really. At least
none that really helps.

The bottom line is that I have a new appreciation for the fact that
Redhat may be slow to offer the latest versions of software and kernels
BUT RH works. I learned my lesson the VERY hard way.

NCD w/ Linux

[Cosmo Lee]

RH 9 Intel

I just got an NCD Explora X Terminal from Ebay - a whopping $15 for the
unit.  I wanted to experiment using RH as a platform for learning this 
technology.

I figured I'd have a cheap X-Terminal solution - I'm new to this.
However, to my dismay, I've found that I've got to get the NcdWare
software in order to run this unit.
The problem is that the software has a whopping $995 list price!

Does anybody have any ideas where I can get this stuff cheaper, used,
second-hand, etc???
Thanks all.

Data Replication

[redhat]

Can anyone recommend some good data replication software that they've used
before?  I want to set up two or three Linux servers in a failover
solution.   We're going to use RHAS Clustering with shared storage, but
we'd like to have a backup in case the shared storage ever goes bad.   The
data replication software should copy anything written to the shared
storage to another server over the network in real time.  This way, we
won't lose any data if the shared storage ever failed and we could  switch
everyone over to the backup server so that they can continue working in
the event of a failure.  A simple rsync script is not going to work here,
I need data replication in real time.   Basically a mirror across the
network.

We've used Steeleye's LifeKeeper software in the past but weren't thrilled
with it.

Thanks,
Chris

RE: sendmail blocking

[Nick White]

While I do agree with fixing the cause, and not just the symptom, there
are other things to take into consideration:

1: I have many other tasks here besides e-mail admin.  If I were to
contact every spammer and auto-list that sends crap to that person's
address, that would be a lot of administrative overhead and time
involved.

2: As you pointed out, this is often a pointless exercise, as these
spammers don't really care who they send to.  I'm sure they get millions
of NDRs from each spam run.

3: Adding ACLs to my router for incoming domains is also a lot.  True, I
would add the offending domain if they were bothering my real users, but
for a long gone employee, no way.

4: I don't want a lot of administrative overhead, or resources used for
this ex-employee.  Just reject (or drop) his mail, and don't bother me
about it.

As a prank, I added the ex-employee's alias to one of my co-workers
mailbox. :)  He really liked the 1000% increase in spam!

The way I have it now, all mail gets rejected for this person, and as
the administrator I don't receive any NDRs.  Bliss.

 - nick

Ed,

Since Nick has been receiving this junk email for a year now
and
his sendmail server has apparently been sending back the
required "Alice does not live here anymore" messages. Since
the remote end has failed repeatedly to cease sending the
stuff,
the RFC should be modified to require SMTP servers to send
"No such users" automatically to the POSTMASTER account for
each rejection.
This will hopefully flood their disk in time and they will
finally notice
that they have an issue. There is a limit to how long one
should be polite
when dealing with remotes that fail or refuse to listen to
returned error
messages.

Now as postmaster, I get them here
once the email has finally bounced, and I am assuming the
rest of you do as well.
So what we have here is a failure on the part of the
"sending" mail administrator
to cease the transmission of email upon receiption of such
notices.
So Nick has no choice here but to dump the stuff and
minimize his systems load
in terms of these senders who are not listening to his
returns.

Personally, I attempt to find a human at the source point to
"notify".
If that fails, I would put a ACL block for the source IP's
in my border router
and stop the SMTP conversations all together. Especially if
the source was something
I had no need to talk to in the first place, namely mass
marketing mailing lists.

I have the same issue here, but I have users that have been
gone for over four years
and I have been sending back - "No Such user" returns on the
attempts to the remote ends
for as long. They are about to make it into my new border
routers ACL.
Too many of the automated marketing lists are not monitored
and cleaned up as they should be.

Nick, you might want to use the source domain's web site to
see if you can find a human
at the sender's location to scream at. Nail the cause, not
the symptom, first if you can
manage it. Otherwise, block them at your firewall or drop
the email onto the floor.

Hi!

I have a question regarding the configuration of wu-ftp: I have it

Upgrading to Apache 2 on RH 7.3

[Howard Fore]

Hi,

I'm attempting an upgrade to Apache 2.0.x from 1.3.27 on a Redhat 7.3
box. RHN doesn't appear to offer an rpm for Apache 2 on 7.3. Normally
I'd just slap in the RH 9.1 CD and upgrade the installation but the 2
servers I'm working on are about 1600 miles away. So I downloaded the
Apache 2.0.40 rpm from RHN (and the various rpms to update the packages
it needed, and the updated packages the packages needed to update
needed, ad nauseum). Finally I had everything I needed in one directory
and typed in "rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm". And I get a "error: failed
dependencies" message and a long list telling me that package foo.1.rpm
(being replaced by a foo.2.rpm) is needed by program bar.
So what does this tell me? Is the dependency list mean that rpm
couldn't tell that a library currently installed would be replaced by a
newer version?
Or, is there a better way to accomplish this upgrade? Ideas?
Suggestions?

RE: exchange alternative

Communigate Pro is a Mail server designed to do below.  Check it out.  It will replace 
your Exchange server, you will never look back.  Also, it is way more powerful and 
reliable.  http://stalker.com

Also, a real plus is you can integrate mailscanner and spamassassin into 
CommunigatePro, so you can provide email virus and SPAM filtering for absolutely free 
to all your domains.  Actually I take that back, you will have to pay for virus 
subscriptions, but its way cheaper than the Micro$oft way.

While that will do it you can save the time of processing the mail by just
including the problem name in sendmail's access database with a DROP
action.  Any incoming mail to that person is immediately dropped into the
bit bucket.  No notification is sent to the sender.

Well, sendmail is currently sent to localhost, but when I tried to send

Ed,

Since Nick has been receiving this junk email for a year now
and
his sendmail server has apparently been sending back the
required "Alice does not live here anymore" messages. Since
the remote end has failed repeatedly to cease sending the
stuff,
the RFC should be modified to require SMTP servers to send
"No such users" automatically to the POSTMASTER account for
each rejection.
This will hopefully flood their disk in time and they will
finally notice
that they have an issue. There is a limit to how long one
should be polite
when dealing with remotes that fail or refuse to listen to
returned error
messages.

Now as postmaster, I get them here
once the email has finally bounced, and I am assuming the
rest of you do as well.
So what we have here is a failure on the part of the
"sending" mail administrator
to cease the transmission of email upon receiption of such
notices.
So Nick has no choice here but to dump the stuff and
minimize his systems load
in terms of these senders who are not listening to his
returns.

Personally, I attempt to find a human at the source point to
"notify".
If that fails, I would put a ACL block for the source IP's
in my border router
and stop the SMTP conversations all together. Especially if
the source was something
I had no need to talk to in the first place, namely mass
marketing mailing lists.

I have the same issue here, but I have users that have been
gone for over four years
and I have been sending back - "No Such user" returns on the
attempts to the remote ends
for as long. They are about to make it into my new border
routers ACL.
Too many of the automated marketing lists are not monitored
and cleaned up as they should be.

Nick, you might want to use the source domain's web site to
see if you can find a human
at the sender's location to scream at. Nail the cause, not
the symptom, first if you can
manage it. Otherwise, block them at your firewall or drop
the email onto the floor.

RE: exchange alternative

[Boulytchev, Vasiliy]

has anyone found a GOOD mail client for linux?
I have tried about a dozen.  I really need something that would replace my outlook

Subject: exchange alternative



List,
I am using a MS exchange 5.5 server for internal mail in our office as
well as calendaring, contact lists, etc.  I would like to find an open
source alternative after having some problems with Exchange this past
week.  Is there anything out there, other than the SuSE open exchange
that I could test?  If I do this it needs to be something that I can use
with Outlook and the users not be able to tell it isn't Windows.  It
shouldn't matter to them but they freak out when they hear that
something is different.  Any info would be appreciated.
thanks,
DF

Yes, the destination disk will end up partitioned exactly the same as 
the source disk.

This would work too.  I used the RH installation disk since it was handy 
and has the necessary utilities but any way that'll get you to the 
utilities will work.

I'd be reluctant to depend on everything working right on a live, 
heavily used linux box since this may take more than an hour if you are 
using large disks and the file system would be likely to change while 
you're doing the copy.

I don't believe they are. In the first instance I assume that there is 
an implied file; e.g. "file.txt" so you are streaming receive data to a 
file in an existing file system and in the second you are streaming 
data to the disk drive overwriting whatever is there already; boot 
sectors, partitions, the whole works.

Same here, in the first instance it looks like you're reading some file 
in an existing file system and streaming it out to the network and the 
second entry is streaming out an entire partition to the network.

I haven't tried to do what you're asking but it seems you'd want a 
variation that might look something like:

Backup ===

Source:
dd if=/dev/hdx | nc -p  -I 

Destination: (Assuming a already partitioned disk where the current 
partition is large enough to store a file that contains all the source 
disk's data.)
nc -l -p  | dd of=destination.dat
which, it seems, would create a file in the current partition named 
"destination.dat" that contained the entire source drive data.
===

Restore 

Source:
dd if=destination.dat | nc -p  -I 

Destination:
nc -l -p  | dd of=/dev/hdx

===

You can probably work out the compression/decompression stuff if 
desired.

Out of curiosity, why does this method appeal to you as opposed to a 
more conventional backup/restore scenario using, say, rsync.

All you should need to do is start up sendmail then on the box set your
mail server to localhost. However if messages are bouncing from your ISP I
would look at the messages as it might be something like you ISP is being
blacklisted

Setting Up Sendmail

[Joseph A Nagy Jr]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all.

I'm running RH9 on a PII 300MHz w/MMX and 128MB RAM on a cable modem 
(the comp is a combo server/workstation, for now) and need to set up 
sendmail so that I can bypass my ISP's SMTP server when I can't send an 
email through them (all attempts to send new messages to a particular 
mailing list are bounced back, although I can reply to the list w/o any 
problems...go fig).

What do I need to configure in sendmail to do this? 

I've considered using postfix, but it won't install at all.

   I've been trying, but still can't get to like info either.. 

   This was not my problem actually.. what I wanted was getting rid of the
whole path and the -d option. Sean Estabrooks solved it for me this way:

pax -r -s '^.*/^^' < myfile.cpio

This is very nice to know..

Redirecting output messages

[Trevor]

I recently installed smtpfront-qmail on my RH 7.3 box.  It's works perfectly
except the output is going to my screen instead of my log file.  Where can I
change this?

I'm sure at one point, most people have had this problem.

If you have any questions that you want me to answer, please let me know and
I will provide the appropriate data for you.
