Re: RPM Installed SpamAssassin

[Al Sparks]

I have a different take on installs.  If I'm setting up a mail 
server, I install sendmail (or qmail) from the original distro, 
eschewing RPM's.  Same with apache.  If I'm setting up a web server, 
I go ahead and install apache from the distro (as well as 
openssl/mod_ssl).

I tend to use RPM's for the more ubiquitous parts of RedHat, such as 
the libraries, and the base utilities.

I used to install much more from distro's, (such as sudo or ntp) but 
I'm not seeing a benefit from it, and it's more productive of my 
time to just let RedHat handle it.

What that does for me is understand the software better for which 
the server's primary function is.  I recommend that you do installls 
of sendmail, and SpamAssassin as per the distro.  The SpamAssassin 
distro uses perl's CPAN engine for isntalling, and that's worth 
learning, as it keeps track of its own sets of dependencies.

I'm learning SpamAssassin myself, so I wish I could be more help, 
but I did go to http://SpamAssassin.org, download the README and 
INSTALL files, and read them over.  Since those are dry docs, I 
printed them out, and went to my favorite coffee shop to read them.  
One thing I missed but should have printed out was their USAGE doc.  
I'll add that if you are installing into a sendmail environment, 
using and knowing procmail as well is a big help.

As to your question on squirrel mail, I'm about to install that on a 
web server (in a production environment, I recommend you separate 
out your web server and mail server).  If you have apache, along 
with php installed, then all you do is copy squirrelmail somewher 
into the php directory structure.  This is my first run at 
installing squirrelmail (I prefer IMP, but I was outvoted at work).  
There's no install/make script to run in that case.

Hope this wasn't too wordy.

configure: error: Your OpenSSL headers do not match your library

[Al Sparks]

I'm running RH 7.2.

I'm trying to manually (via tarballs) install openssh-3.6p1.  I've
already installed openssl-0.9.6j.  When I configure openssh with

./configure \
 --prefix=/usr/local \
 --sysconfdir=/etc \
 --with-ipv4-default \
 --with-ssl-dir=/usr/local/ssl \
 --with-pid-dir=/var/run \
 --with-pam \
 --with-tcp-wrappers \
 --with-privsep-path=/var/empty \
 --with-privsep-user=sshd

it takes awhile and finally spits out
  checking OpenSSL header version... 9060af (OpenSSL 0.9.6j 10 Apr 2003)
  checking OpenSSL library version... 90602f (OpenSSL 0.9.6b [engine] 9 Jul 2001)
  checking whether OpenSSL's headers match the library... no
  configure: error: Your OpenSSL headers do not match your library

I've tried updating the glib*rpm files, but that didn't do anygood.

Suggestions?  (Note:  I've googled this topic, and there's references
to it, but I don't understand what the replies are trying to tell me;
none were RH specific).

Sending MIME attachments non-interactively

[Al Sparks]

I'm trying to set up a script that will email people, and include MIME
attachments.  I checked the standard "mail" program that comes with
Redhat 7.2, and couldn't find anything in the man page that indicates
you can do that.

Any mail clients that will do that non-interactivley?  Other alternatives?

Re: Help with DNS & Sendmail

[Al Sparks]

Both subjects are covered in depth by books put out by O'Reilly.
   http://www.oreilly.com

It's dry reading, but you can also download the sendmail source and
start reading the docs in there.  Sendmail's web site also has those
docs.

Same with BIND (assuming you're looking at BIND to provide DNS
services; you don't have to use BIND for DNS anymore than you have to
use sendmail as an mail transfer agent (MTA).

So, try the websites, 
   http://www.sendmail.org
for sendmail, and
   http://www.isc.org
for BIND.

I also recommend doing a google, "alternatives to sendmail" and
"alternatives to BIND".

Another Question on Collecting data frm Serial Port

[Al Sparks]

I have a laptop running RH 7.2, and I'm incoming collecting data off
of the /dev/ttyS0 serial port (or Window's COM1 equivalent).

Presently I'm using minicom along with a capture file to collect the
data.

However, I'd like to do things like change to a new log file every 24
hours, and I'd like to do it automagically.

Using a mechanism like 
$ cat /dev/ttyS0 >> some_file
makes it easier to rotate logs.

When I've tried it in the past, though, I've gotten garbage.  When I
turned to minicom, I was able to adjust the baud rage, stop bits, and
parity to make things work.

So the question is, how do I make those adjustments so that the cat
method, shown above, will work?  From what I've read, the
$ stty -F /dev/ttyS0
might be the ticket, but all I know how to adjust is the speed, and
I'm not sure that I'm on the right track anyway.

Alternatively, if someone has any suggestions regarding any ability
minicom might have in the area of automation, that might be helpful.

Re: Using serial port

[Al Sparks]

I'd just like to say, as someone who was just "lurking", that this
advice about minicom was great.  I had been trying to redirect input
from ttyS0 to a file using
   $ cat /dev/ttyS0 >> somefile
and all I was getting was garbage.  I was in the process of trying to
figure out stty settings, when I saw the post of Michael Mansour
and Joe Polk suggesting minicom.

I had posted my own question on this subject before in February, and
Gene Yoo also suggested minicom, but I had forgotten about that,
focusing on the "cat" solution Cameron Simpson had suggested.  It
looks like Gene has since switched to gtkterm (or maybe he uses both).

Minicom is great.  If you've ever used Procomm (the old DOS version,
not Procomm Plus for Windows), then using minicom will be a snap.  The
interface is similar.

Anyway, thanks.

Installing Sendmail frm tarball; makemap problems

[Al Sparks]

I'm running RH 7.2.  Presently I'm running sendmail-8.12.6, which I'm
trying to upgrade.

The problem is that when I install sendmail-8.12.8, I'm having trouble
with makemap.

An install of makemap from the older sendmail-8.12.6 source has
   $ makemap -l
   hash
   btree
which means that makemap supports those maptypes.

When I install the newer (the latest) sendmail-8.12.8, and include
makemap, -hash doesn't work, and in fact when I list out the supported
maptypes, makemap sans sendmail-8.12.8 lists nothing.

I've been told that I need Berkely DB for this to run.  As far as I
can tell, I indeed have that.  In fact, makemap should not run maptype
"hash" w/o Berkely DB regardless of the version.

Has anyone had any problems with the latest sendmail install?  I'm
installing straight from the tarball provided by sendmail, not from
the RH rpm.

Re: Sendmail 8.11.6 Configuration

[Al Sparks]

Don't have enough information.  The SMTP output below seems to be indicating
a non-localhost.  Wouldn't you want to add miswebdesign.com to the access
file?  Also, do you have an /etc/mail/access.db file?  If not you should
use the makemap command to create one.
#  sudo makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access
is the most common example.

If your machine is acting as mailserver for more than one virtual domain,
you might want to add 
 miswebdesign.com
to that file.  That's all I can think of.

One other thing, another poster mentioned /etc/hosts.  Sendmail ignores
/etc/hosts.  Only uses DNS.

gpg: BAD signature from "Sendmail Signing Key/2003 "

[Al Sparks]

This is driving me nuts.  But I am a newbie to gpg.

I'm running RH 7.2.  The gpg is from the standard rpm off of the CD.
Here's the output from "gpg --version":
gpg (GnuPG) 1.0.6

This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

I went on the sendmail site, and downloaded the files:
sendmail.8.12.8.tar
sendmail.8.12.8.tar.gz.sig

I also downloaded sendmail.org's PGPKEYS.txt file.

I imported the keys in that file with
   $ gpg --import PGPKEYS.txt
and it seemed to work fine.  Here's the output:
gpg: key 16F4CCE9: public key imported
gpg: key 396F0789: public key imported
gpg: key 678C0A03: public key imported

According to the instructions in sendmail.org, I'm supposed to 
$ gunzip -c sendmail.8.12.8.tar.gz | gpg --verify sendmail.8.12.8.tar.gz.sig -
and the output is:
gunzip: sendmail.8.12.8.tar.gz: No such file or directory
gpg: Signature made Tue 11 Feb 2003 10:25:07 AM AKST using RSA key ID 396F0789
gpg: BAD signature from "Sendmail Signing Key/2003 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"


Now I notice that the latest version of gpg is 1.2.1, but I figure
if this was a big deal, RedHat would have put out an update (I checked both their 
site and rpmfind and they haven't).

I notice that it's the *.sig file that's generating this error, because if I change
the input I get the same error.

As I said before, I'm a newbie to gpg.  So there might be something obvious 
I'm missing.

Advanced Server Network Config

[Al Sparks]

I'm using RH Advanced Server 2.1.  I'm having problems changing the
network.

First, I'm running it on a Dell 2550, and it has 2 network cards.  One
of the cards is a Gig-E, and of course I'm having to download a driver
for it, so at the moment, I don't want eth0 to be active.

So I have, what I think is eth1 plugged in.  So that was what I
configured when I installed the OS.  I may or may not have
specifically said that I didn't want DHCP to configure eth0.

Anyway, I'm used to fooling around (a-la RH 7.2) in
   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
and
   /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
and editing the variables.

Then at the console, of course, I stop and start networking (the
script is located in /etc/rc.d/init.d in RH7.2, and /etc/init.d in
Advanced Server).

It's not working.  Any changes I make to those network files seems to
affect anything.  Where, in Advanced Server, are the base network
configuration files?

One other thing, Advanced Server does have a GUI for changing system
parameters.  When I attempted to change the network using that, I got
some sort of system error.

Re: Sendmail Question- want username@yourdomain.com as login?

[Al Sparks]

So what's your point?

Ok, the above was flame bait.  This is a list, and one of the disadvantages
of a list, if it's indeed a disadvantage, is that the conversations
can get out of the control of the person who started a thread.  That's
similar to face to face conversations with more than 2 people.  The person
who asked the question can probably get the conversation back on track all 
on his own w/o your help.

Anyway, my answer to his question, which I tried to say as nicely as possible,
is that you probably can't get an internet MTA to do what he wants w/o going
into the source.  Further, I can think of no good reason to try what he's
doing given the work that would be involved.

But hey, there are lists that specialize in particular MTA's.  Sendmail has
one, and so does qmail.  Though I'll warn you about the qmail list.  The
people who dominate that list (who answer the questions) like to sneer a lot
at people they consider fools.  But of course there's the saying that
sticks and stones

Re: Creating a tgz, what's the problem? TGZ better than ZIP?

[Al Sparks]

The extensions *.tar.gz is the same as *.tgz.  Someone just decided to
abbreviate the extensions into one.  It caught on.  You're also right
that you can name it whatever you want.

One other extension you'll see in net land is *.Z extinson or also
*.tar.Z.  A file that has the *.Z extionsion has most likely been acted
on by the "compress" program, which is on most unix systems (as opposed
to RH, which doesn't provide it on the default install).

"Gzip" will uncompress a file that's been "compress"'d.  The reason that
"gzip" become more popular, according to the "gzip" home page, is because
"compress" uses patented algorithms, and it's more efficient.

See http://www.gzip.org for more.

Re: Sendmail Question- want username@yourdomain.com as login?

[Al Sparks]

Well, qmail and sendmail, as do most mail transport agents (MTA) have
one thing in common.  They actually don't do password authentication.
They just deliver mail.

Now, unlike sendmail, qmail does come with a POP3 package installed, and
that's presumably because qmail's default install settings use Maildir
format instead of mbox format.  (To summarize: mbox format is where each 
user's mailbox consists of 1 file with more than one message usually located
in /var/spool/mail, whreas Maildir format uses separate files for each mail 
message, usually located in $HOME/Maildir).

So, if you're going to investigate qmail for this functionality I'd look at
qmail-pop3 (and if you plan on using that, make sure you use Maildir format)
and also investigate Boorstein's checkpassword program (Boorstein created
and maintain's qmail).  Perhaps that uses the [EMAIL PROTECTED] format.

I can't help you much with that, because I provide IMAP to access the qmail
accounts I administer, specifically courier IMAP.

Regarding virtual accounts, I googled qmail's docs real quick, and didn't 
find anything.  Perhaps you're referring to virtual DOMAINS.  All a virtual
domain does is tell the MTA to accept email addressed to
   "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
whereas without that spec, the MTA will either bounce the message or attempt to 
relay it.

Another feature qmail has (and you can also configure sendmail to do the same
thing) is the abiity to set up more than one mailbox for one account.

The way it works is, given an account, "userid", you can configure that acount
to deliver email to another mailbox if you email to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

Re: Sendmail Question- want username@yourdomain.com as login?

[Al Sparks]

So to summarize, 

* you have created accounts on RH that have "@" userid's
in the userid.

* Email isn't reaching those accounts, because sendmail is attempting
to deliver to 
   username
on the loal machine, instead of
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
which is literally the name of that account.

Wow!  I can't help but feel you're on the wrong track.  Perhaps you've
seen a email client that used the [EMAIL PROTECTED] syntax but
actually logged onto the pop server using "username", and used
"@yourdomain.com" part to figure out the hostname instead of making the
user fill out a separate field with the hostname.

To be honest, I don't know why you would want to use this, but perhaps you
should post to the comp.mail.sendmail usenet group.  Maybe someone there
would have some ideas.

Re: how to automatically put files on all /home/user directories

If you like the style of bash scripting, you should also check out perl,

It also works across platforms including the Windows environment.  It'll

Re: Newbie - How do I move my Radhat to another network?

[Al Sparks]

Also, an easy way to make sure your changes take affect as they should,
w/o rebooting, is to
# service network restart
or if that doesn't work
# service network stop
# service network start

Of course you should be at the console when you do this!

In any case, if the network movement is occuring in the same machine
room w/o physical movement of the machine, just the network connection,
then simply stopping the network and restarting it is the way to go.

I've found however, that if a hostname change is a part of all this then
rebooting is the way to go.  That seems to be the only way to get the
scripts to "touch all the bases."

RE: ldconfig in path?

[Al Sparks]

Well,
  $ su
alone simply switches your uid and gid to root, w/o going through
the full login process.  As a result, it doesn't run root's
   .bash_profile
file, and if you do a
  # set
  [lots of output]
you'll also see lots of variables that remain the userid you su'd from,
such as your $USER variable, and your $MAILDIR variable.

  $ su -
gives you a more robust user switch.  That doesn't mean you should use
it all the time.  It may be more convenient to keep your userid variables.

Re: Time Problem

[Al Sparks]

While running ntp is a good thing, another thing to look at are your
hardware clock settings.  What I do when setting up a new machine is go
into 
/etc/sysconfig/clock
and set UTC=TRUE.

I then run
/sbin/hwclock --systohc -utc
as root.

You probably want UTC to be false if you've got a dual boot system with
one of the MS OS's.  If not, however, since linux likes to think in GMT
(or UTC) I think it's best to change it.

Of course, the hwclock command isn't guaranteed to work with all
hardware, but if it does work with yours, it should solve the problem.

Ntp is for miniscule clock drifts.

rpm database and dependecies question

[Al Sparks]

I'm trying to install python on my RH 7.2 machine.  I mount the CD, and cd over to the 
RPMS
directory, and 

$ sudo rpm -i python-1.5.2-35.i386.rpm 
error: failed dependencies:
libz.so.1   is needed by python-1.5.2-35

I then
$ sudo find /usr -name 'libz.so*'
and I find the shared object.

Now I know that this is because I've probably installed some software w/o rpm that 
installed the
libz shared object.

My questions are:
1.  What's an easy way to find what RH rpm (preferably located on the RH 7.2 disk 
set)?  I already
tried http://www.rpmfind.net.  I also searched Red Hat's site.

2.  I already know that I can force rpm to install python, even with that error.  But 
can I, in
some way manually update the RPM database?

One other thing (besides FW settings).  If you installed ssh

then make sure you have an entry in your

directory.  That has nailed me more times than I can count.  If that's
the problem, the debug process I specified in my last message should
bring that out.

Re: ssh server installation problem.

[Al Sparks]

First, you said you
   /sbin/service sshd -start

Probably a typo, but you're not supposed to have "-" in front.

Assuming that was done correctly, try
   $ ps -aux | egrep sshd
and make sure there's a sshd process running.
Also try
   $ netstat -a
and make sure there's something "LISTEN"ing on the "*:ssh" port.

If all that is true, kill sshd.  Then, probably as root, run
   # sshd -d
and on the client end run
   $ ssh -v bp6.stat.rice.edu
and see what the output is on both machines.  If the daemon on
bp6.stat.rice.edu is getting "hit", then you'll see output from
the debug sshd.  On the client side, you'll also see debug output.

That may (but not always) give you some clues.

One other thing to check before doing all that is /var/log/messages to
see if the daemon you were running was giving any errors.

Re: Setting RPM_OPT_FLAGS

[Al Sparks]

You're not telling us the context of this question.  Are you trying to
compile RPM?

If you are, and RPM_OPT_FLAGS is a shell variable, you can try
   $ export  RPM_OPT_FLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i386 -march=i686" 
and then run whatever command that uses that variable (./configure ?).

You can also place the variable before the command.  Again using the ./configure 
command as an
example, 
   $ RPM_OPT_FLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i386 -march=i686" ./configure

Again I'm not all that familiar with rpm, other than to install, erase,
update and query packages, so I don't know if this helps you or not.

Re: how to make 'nobody' user available?

[Al Sparks]

It occurs to me that I didn't give the best command(s) for seeing if your
apache server is running as "nobody".  Searching for apache will usually
work, but not always, given that "apache" may not be in the path.

So instead you should use
   ps -auxw | egrep httpd

The "w" switch that's included in the "ps" will ensure that the output
doesn't get cut off at 80 columns.

Re: how to make 'nobody' user available?

[Al Sparks]

You're not saying in what context you're trying to start your CGI
program.

The "nobody" userid isn't designed to log on interactively, but if
that's what you want to do, then, as root, you can enable the account
with
# usermod –U nobody

You then should set the password for the account
# passwd nobody
[follow the prompts to change password]

Then you can log on (or "su" to) interactively.  When you're done with
your testing, you'll want to lock the account up again with:
# usermod –L nobody

If you're running the sudo program on your system, you can use "nobody"
to test your program with
$ sudo –u nobody /path/to/program
without enabling the account interactively.

Apache typically runs as "nobody", so if you place your CGI program
where it's accessible by apache, then that should be enough of a test. 
To ensure that apache is running as "nobody", do 
$ ps –aux | egrep nobody
and you'll get output shown at the bottom of this message.  Note only
one process runs as "root", and the child processes run as "nobody". 
Of course, I'm using an apache installed from source and not an rpm, so
there's a small (miniscule?) chance that your server is configured to
not run that way (if you're running apache; maybe you're running
another web server).

Well, first, I'd go back to basics.  Check 
   ps -aux | egrep sendmail
and see if sendmail is listening.

Also try
   netstat -a
to see if it's listening on smtp.  If you don't see something like
   tcp0  0 *:smtp*:*  LISTEN
then the sendmail process isn't on at all.

I'm also confused.  You're showing us a sendmail log entry; is that
from the server you're having problems with or is that from another
email server that's sending to the server you're having problems with?

Regarding m4 creation, find out where your source is.  What I have
found handy is the following definitions whenever I have wanted to
create an cf file from an m4 file:

   CFDIR=$HOME/install/sendmail-8.11.6/cf/
   sendmailsrc=/var/usr/local/src/sendmail-8.11.6
   alias m4gen="m4 -D_CF_DIR_=${CFDIR} ${CFDIR}/m4/cf.m4"

I then use m4gen to create my mc file.  Change your $CFDIR definition,
and optionally your $sendmailsrc definition (which is just a handy
definition I use to "cd" to that directory; it's optional).

m4gen will create your cf file in ${CFDIR}/m4/ and base its contents
on ${CFDIR}/m4/cf.m4".

I based all this on a README file placed in sendmail source's ./cf
directory.

changing the colors "ls" uses

[Al Sparks]

This is a trivial problem, but it bothers me that my tweaking has no
affect despite documentation on the system 
   $ info ls
and
   $ info dircolors

Anyway, I'm trying to change the behavior of the "ls" command,
specifically how it displays filename colors based on the file
extension.

I first 
   $ dircolors –p > some_file
I edit the file.  Then I
   $ dircolors some_file

I also 
   $ echo $LS_COLORS
to ensure the changes take affect with regards to the variable
assignment.

When I list a file extension, it retains the original color assignment.

Any suggestions?

Re: Creating POP accounts

[Al Sparks]

You can use "sudo" to allow certain users to use whatever commands you
specify that need root (or any other userid they don’t have normal
access to) to run the command.

So you could, using sudo, allow a non-super user to use the "adduser"
command.  The sudo rpm is located on the RH CD (or their ftp site, if
you don't have the CD).

Re: interface scripts

[Al Sparks]

You at least need a stop and start function for it to work.  You should
also try using the daemon function as well.  To troubleshoot your
script interactively, what I do, as root, is,

   $ cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
   $ . ./functions
   $ daemon whatever

If that doesn’t work because it can’t find the program, check your
$PATH.  Adjust.

If everything is working right, then that will start the daemon.  Use
killall to kill it.  If that works, then try placing those commands in
the script and test that.  You should make any adjustments to your $PATH
definition there if necessary.

Re: UUCP config

[Al Sparks]

First, there are plenty of MTU’s (mail transport agents) out there,
though the default RH installation is sendmail.  When posing a question
like this, you should include that information.

Second, check and see if there’s a sendmail list (if that’s what you’re
using).  I’m almost sure there is.  Start with http://www.sendmail.org.

They’d be better able to help you out.

Re: smtp-auth

[Al Sparks]

Go to http://www.qmail.org to find out lots of qmail documentation
including a link that will point you to the mailing list.  I recommend
"Life with qmail" by Dave Sill.

As far as your problems sending mail, qmail doesn’t relay by default
(which is a good thing).

If you’re running the tcpserver module to invoke qmail’s SMTP daemon
(as opposed to inetd) then you can specify allowable relays in the
/etc/tcp.smtp file.

This
   10.1.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
   10.9.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
   127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
allows relaying by the local host (bottom line) and everyone in the
10.1.* and 10.9.* IP address domains.  It’s been awhile since I set it
up, but if I remember right, if the file exists, and you don’t have the
bottom line, then it won’t send anything from the local machine (which
might be a good thing, if you don’t intend people to log on locally to
do their emailing).

After you set up the file, you do have to create a cdb data base file,
which you do with the following:
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
and again, if you don't have tcpserver installed, I don't think you'll
have the tcprules command.

Good luck.

Re: Scripts

[Al Sparks]

That's how I've been doing mine.  The biggest troubleshooting problem I
had, by the way, is figuring out the path.  The "functions" script
located in /etc/rc.d/init.d is where the $PATH is determined at startup
time.

For example, some of my installs placed the binary files in
/usr/local/sbin.  Well, the default $PATH that redhat provides doesn't
include /usr/local/sbin, though it does include /sbin and /usr/sbin.  I
added /usr/local/sbin to the PATH in "functions" and everything worked
fine. 

Lastly, I only recently figured out "chkconfig".  Before then, I was
sort of manually changing the symbolic links in /etc/rc.d/rc[0-5]. 
It's not too hard if you make imaginative use of the "find" command. 
Still, chkconfig makes things much easier.

Re: OT: how to tar a netware server b4 wiping it?

[Al Sparks]

A possible solution, if you have the resources, is to use a linux box
to mount the netware FS, and tar it, placing the tar'd file on an ext2
FS.

If that works (or seems to), make sure you can untar it.

Another idea; see if your Novell server can run an ftp daemon (I'm
pretty sure there's some out there).  Transfer the files manually over. 
This solution could be ugly, since some ftp's don't play well with sub
directories (though that could be client dependent; some clients seem
to).

Finally, instead of taring the files, see about zipping them.  I know
that winzip will work with tar files, maybe tar will work with zip
files.  In any case, if you zip them, you at least have saved the files
in a well recognized standard, giving you the chance to unzip them to a
windows FS (FAT, NTFS, whatever).  You can mount those with linux and
see if you can play with tar later.

Personally, if you're planning on placing the files on another windows
file system, I'd just use zip and forget about tar altogether.

Re: Listening on Port 1025??

[Al Sparks]

Well, I can give troubleshooting hints.

I checked the /etc/services file of a couple of my RH 6.2 boxes and
didn’t find anything, but you may want to check yours.  The next thing
I would try is to connect to the port with,
  telnet machname 1025

and see what you get as a response (if you’re doing it from the machine
itself then
  telnet 0 1025
will work).

Having 2 ports open like that makes me think of ftp, which has behavior
like that, using port 21 to issue commands and port 20 to do the data
transfer (unless you use passive ftp; in which case it picks a
different data transfer port, higher than 1024).

Also check 
 ps aux
and see if there’s some weird processes out there.  If so, kill them
and see if that closes the ports.

Web polls aren’t scientific, so decision makers aren’t going to take
them very seriously.

As for the bit on "mediocre group of proponents", often a proponent’s
intensity can work against what he or she is arguing for.  Whenever we
have a discussion at work about what operating system to use for a
project, I try to be up front that I might be biased.  We have a young
student intern that’s very devout proponent of open source.   But when
he says things like "Open source rocks!", it undercuts his argument.

It’s usually not the intensity of your argument that counts in
business.  It’s the objective arguing of the merits.

I now know what the problem is.  We're not running modules.  We recompiled the
kernel w/o them.  However, Red Hat doesn't know that, so it keeps trying to
  rmmod

Thanks for the help.

System is spamming me; rmmod -as failure

[Al Sparks]

I keep getting spammed by the system.  How do I get rid of this?  I
keep looking at whatever cronjobs are trying to execute this, and can’t
find anything.  It’s driving me nuts, especially since I have 2
machines that are doing it now.

The message is below.

Re: pwconv

[Al Sparks]

I thought I’d share with the list how I solved the problem.  It turns
out I had a duplicate keyed entry (i.e. 2 entries with the same login
name).   I found this out by running pwck, a utility mentioned in the
pwconf man pages.  So this is another cautionary tale about RTFM. 
Thanks for the help.

BTW, if anyone from RH is listening, I’m not getting messages from this
list very fast.  I got one reply to my post, and that was only because
the person replying also explicitly included my email address in the
"Cc:".  Yahoo itself seems to be accepting messages from my other
addresses pretty fast.

pwconv

[Al Sparks]

I’m running pwconv on a passwd file of 307 records.  My machine is
running Redhat 6.2, kernel version 2.2.18 (i686 unknown).

So far this thing has been running for over 14 hours.  The machine is
not yet production, so it has most of the CPU (usually 98%+).  What is
taking so long?  How do I check on the progress?

I know it works because I’ve successfully pwunconv and pwconv a passwd
file of about 20 lines, and it’s pretty quick then.

Help.

POP3 and Sendmail have nothing to do with each other.  Any bug that

Re: Setting Folder Permissions

[Al Sparks]

Perhaps you need to be more specific with symptoms.  What do you mean
by "folders"?  Are you using ext2 file system?

A file system's permissions are written to the disk (at least any
file system that I've ever dealt with).  That means when you remount
a drive, the file permissions, including sub-directories or folders,
will be the same as when you changed them before.

Perhaps you are referring to automatically mounting a disk or
partition instead.  That should be done at startup and can be
automated.
