The procmail maillist list isn't working for me... may be down. So I'll try here..

Cool. Except I'm trying to figure out a way to un-do the stripping if the words I'm looking for isn't in the body of the message after all.

Re: Procmail recipes
Just got into procmail myself. http://www.procmail.org/ has very good FAQs and links. I think you want a rule like this: :0 c * ^Subject:.*some text ! [EMAIL PROTECTED] The :0 begins a ruleset. The '*' is like an if statement. The ! lets you forward the mail to somewhere else. The "c" makes a copy of the email so that it is forwards *as well as* get delivered into the users mail box. Take the "c" out if you don't want them to get a copy - which is what you want if certain types of attachments.

Re: AMD mobo
Any AMD mobo should do fine. You may want to avoid the nvidia nforce2 chipset board as those drivers (gigbit nic and sata) aren't in RH 9 (unless you're into compiling your own kernel). But then again, the system will still run anyway. On the flip side for Intel, I think the i865/i875 chipsets aren't in RH 9 either as they are fairly new - yet another patch and recompile. -eric wood Greg Bradner wrote: > Hello: > I am putting together a system and am looking for a fast, solid, > problem free motherboard that is AMD compatible.

Re: what is sgi-fam used for on the default instal anyway?
I'd think twice about turning sgi-fam off. Obviously the kernel is one who knows about all file changes on the disk. It makes these changes kown to other program through its "dnotify" function. sgi-fam just happens to be the only library that I know of that hooks into dnotify. When a program subscribes (registers for a callback) to monitor a certain file or directory, it signals an event in your app. Typically the event would be to refresh what your looking at. For example, browse to /var/spool/mail and watch all the inboxs change in real time - without you having to click refresh. Many unix apps go polling bananas. That's a bad performance hit. Imagine all your panel applets having to poll the filesystem every second to update it-self. (ahem... the wire-less monitor applet). If no changes are going on, then why is your applet still asking the same question over and over again and using up CPU time? FAM-enabling them would make them effecient and much more responsive to the user. With enough griping to the programmers, more and more apps are (as they should) becoming fam compliant. -eric wood Bret Hughes wrote: > On Thu, 2003-08-07 at 21:19, Gordon Messmer wrote: >> Bret Hughes wrote: >> It's much more efficient to use FAM, which can simply "ping" the >> application to let it know there's an update, rather than checking >> for updates repeatedly. >> > Makes sense, Thanks.

RH: Please fix kernel make target "rpm"
# make mrproper `/bin/cp configs/kernel-2.4.20-i686.config .config` oldconfig dep clean rpm The resulting rpm file seems to always be built for i386 even though you're using a 686 .config file. It looks like kerne.spec file which is generated from "scripts/mkspec" neglects to issue an arch. Or you have to edit the Makefile and slip in a "--target=i686" or "--target=athlon" like so: $(RPM) -ta --target=i686 $(TOPDIR)/../$(KERNELPATH).tar.gz ; \ before you do the build. More troubling is the absense of a pre-install and post-install script embedded within the rpm. So the kernel install doesn't do the "/sbin/new-kernel-pkg" trick as in the official kernel rpms. I guess what is needed is a new mkspec script for RH systems which will slip in the install scripts. -eric wood -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

how to ghost an active hard drive?
I'm not comfortable with software raid mainly becuase I would know what to do if a member of the md cluster failed. So I want to ghost a working drive to a secondary drive. Say I have two identical drives: /dev/hda and /dev/hdc. Periodically I want to completely ghost hda to hdc without having to unmount hda or go into single user mode, etc. If hda ever dies, then I just re-jumper hdc and away I go. I've tried: # dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc Although I'm sure it ghosted the drive, it also prevented me from rebooting the computer normally. Something about grub getting confused about multiple drives having the same devlabel entries. Also it took forever. Is there a tool that will replicate the partitions, copy from kernels and boot sectors. then copy the files over to a spare drive with grub getting confused?

We have a RH7.3 server with an internal modem set
up as ttyS4. The modem works great whenever we need to dial in or
out. However, yesterday, the Server started acting very strangely
(spooler quit printing, modem would not answer the phone) and we started
getting an error message about 'mgetty trying to respawn to quickly, port
locked for 5 minutes'. While trying to find out what was going on, I
happened to notice that there were a 'zillion' zero byte length messages
in /var/log named mgetty.log.ttyS4.1.1.1.1... up thru
mgetty.log.ttyS4.4.4.4.4.4... It took 30 minutes to delete them all
(they could not be deleted with a single rm command), but after they were
deleted, the system started acting normally again. Does anybody know
what caused this problem and how to prevent it from occurring
again?
Thanks,

One only needs to review the version of linuxconf bundled at distribution release time versus the version readily available. RH *always* released a very old version, turned off many modules, gave no effort or opportunity into making it compliant with the next version.

I added a new domain called xyz.com to my external view. I can dig and
nslookup everything

If I'm at a internal client station (which is NATed) I can't see the xyz.com
domain
*until* the dns gets propogated to my ISP. So, it as if my "internal" view
doesn't refer to my "external" view for an answer. It just goes out to the
other nameservers.
My /etc/resolv.conf has my external DNS as the first nameserver to query,
and my ISP's nameservers are farther down. Even the allow-recursion

Re: Outlook XP And Linux IMAP Server
I read on the linuxconf mailing list that there is a new vimap version that will allow multiple connections to the same imap user box if the mail file is converted to mbx format on the linux server. I hope Friedrich didn't mind my cross posting his message. -eric wood Hi! If you always wanted your vimap user to not see other namespaces, like #news, #ftp, just the needed ones to access their mail and want to have their folders in the better mbx instead of the default unix mailbox format then grab the vimap source rpm at ftp://ftp.fl.priv.at/pub/vimap/SRPM/SuSE-7.3/with-mbx-and-no-namespace/ change if you are on redhat or suse and a "rpm -bb imap.spec" should create what you want. Before I forget, files starting with a dot, like ".vacation.*" are also hidden now. Only tested on SuSE 7.3. If you have troubles with this just take the patches and the orginal vimap src-rpm from http://vimap.sourceforge.net/ and rework that. If you install this on a server already running vimap then only newly created mailfolders will be in the mbx format. I'm currently working on how to autmatically create /vhome/domain.com/home/user/INBOX so the imap daemon copies all mail from /var/spool/vmail/domain.com/user to this place. The plus of the mbx format is that more than one mail-client can access the same mail folder at the same time. That's not possible if you stay with the defaults. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock - Original Message - From: "Chris Mason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > That happens to me when I use another imap client to access the same account > simultaneously. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Is there any way to prevent this so that the disks will > spin down into standby mode? This is not a easy question. You've probably running cron which has to run somthing. cron causes /etc/mtab's access time to be update which causes ext3 to flush the hard drive which causes the hard drive actitivity which causes the hard drive to never go to sleep. vixie-cron is not fam_sgi compatible and therefor your hard drive will never sleep. However, you can stop the cron daemon. Maybe Paul Vixie will start using fam. furthermore, restarting xinetd will loose all rpc connected sockets with fam which will then bomb out apps. Until xinetd gets fixed, fam is almost useless. They're working on this bug I believe. -eric wood ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Re: fam keeps dying - and why
Well, you just fixed only one of the problems by upgrading to xinetd-2.3.4. Actually, Trond Eivind Glomsrød (the xinetd package maintainer for redhat) is aware of these problems and is current trying to fix a bigger problem - that's is if he can convince the author of xinetd to allow it. Here's the problem: 1. sgi_fam is an xinetd rpc service. When nautilus or konqueror lauch they make a connection to fam. All is fine. 2. When someone (or some program) decides to "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd reload", the xinetd find it neccessary to give sgi_fam a new port number - this, of course, make nautilus or konqueror quit sync'ing with the filesystem because they just lost the connection to fam! They're left in limbo. Even if you say "chkconfig telnet off", which has nothing to do with an rpc service, xinetd will restart rpc services. Bottom line is that I believe xinetd is not handling the -HUP signal correctly in order to pick and choose which specific service needs to restart. -eric wood - Original Message - From: "Zhi-Wei Lu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > It turns out to be a problem with xinetd.
