Postfix + Amavis + Spamassassin question
Hi, I am trying to replace a spam appliance system here with a Ubuntu system running Postfix + Amavis + Spamasssassin. I followed the guide at: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/mail-filtering.html Everything went ok, though I don't see any Spamassassin in headers generated by the server, though I can see the Amavis Received: and X-Virus-Scanned headers. When I look in the mail.info log, I see the following: Nov 16 09:27:29 mail amavis[30720]: (30720-14) Passed CLEAN, LOCAL [192.168.1.126] [192.168.1.126] -> , Message-ID: [...], mail_id: [...], Hits: -1.895, size: 3125, queued_as: [...], 11083 ms I removed my system out of the Mynetworks section in /etc/postfix/main.cf, but still the system seems to think the message is local?

RE: Interface bonding
Hi, I have several servers using the bond configuration on 8.04. I found the most effective way to enable this was to do the modprobe configuration (though the URL you posted has better instructions than I did), then I make the following in the interfaces file: auto bond0 iface bond0 inet static address 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.10.10.1 post-up ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1 I originally had the line: post-up ifenslave bond0 eth0 eth1 replaced with: slaves eth0 eth1 However did not get consistent operations.

No problem with the Module Alias Configuration. AFAIK this configuration will already make sure that the bonding module is probed and loaded. I then have some remarks on the interface configuration part. * loading and unloading the module through pre-up and post-down statements is not necessary, as the loading already happens in de modproe.d config, and might even be unwanted in tha case were one has multiple bonds configured, which would (try to) unload the module after bringing one bond down, whilst it still being in use for another one. * configuring the bond (ifenslave bond0 eth1 eth2) in the (post-)up statements didn't work for me: it seemed (post-)up happens after configuring an ip, but at that time the bond is not configured yet, and configuring the ip results in an error. I'm not totally sure if this is eneral logical behaviour or if I just messed something up at one point in my config trial and error. * finally, this howto does not mention the by far easier method explained in /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian: it's just enough to use the "slaves eth0 eth1" in the iface bond0 stanza It might be interesting to have those remarks reviewed, to check if my evaluation is correct.

I always thought (not necessarily correctly) that Jeos was for running on top of the virtual environments, and thus it did not contain all the required drivers (such as NIC, storage etc), that the server version used.

File sharing system
Hi, I would like to provide a way of sending work related files to other users via a Ubuntu 8.04 server. The system would need the following requirements: - Allow accounts to be only created by designated super users/administrators. - Allow auto delete of files. - Allow restriction of size/file type (eg remove zip, mp3 etc). - Email link to user who is sending the file and to the recipient. Anyone have any suggestions that come with Ubuntu already? Thanks.

RE: Report: Sun Open Storage
Hi, Maybe I am still wet behind the ears (only having around 6 years exposure to enterprise IT environments), but I am slightly more excited about this type of technology. For me, I like to be able to choose the kit that various applications run on, and pick the relevant hardware for the job. In the past, we looked at expensive storage systems such as EMC and NetApp arrays, however, was put off these because we have to purchase similar expensive hardware wherever we need to deploy the storage. So, for example, we have a NetApp box at our main site, and have to buy the same models of storage at our backup or remote sites in order to gain such features as replication, even though ordinarily we wouldn't want to buy such an expensive array at the remote locations. With virtualised storage, we would be able to deploy a high grade array for the backend at our main site, but use a less expensive array at the remote or backup site. If the storage is managed by the same applications (such as Sun or Falconstor) at all the sites, then we can do the replication and other fancy stuff that have traditionally been only associated with sticking with one vender's expensive storage arrays throughout, causing vender lockin for the expensive parts of the system. I would be slightly more excited about this if they could talk about virtualising the storage appliance itself, which is what Falconstor have done with the Vmware work. I would be extatic if someone could make a system like this that could run in a regular operating system (eg in a Ubuntu or Windows server), with other applications running in the same session, but previous attempts to do this (eg with SanMelody) have not received good reviews, and I feel the current trend atm is to "vmware" everything, until we will be in an environment where you have 10 or more Vmware "appliances" in the environment, each doing a specific micro task, and all running a Linux kernel, so they can claim open source! Andrew. -Original Message- From: Onno Benschop [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 November 2008 08:19 To: Ubuntu Server Team Subject: Report: Sun Open Storage Today I attended a Sun presentation called "Open Storage Systems". I attended both for my "day-job", that is, an IT consultant, as well as wearing my "Ubuntu Server hat". I'm not able to provide you with a word-for-word, blow-by-blow account of my morning, nor am I wanting to either promote or bag the presentation. The intent of my email to the group is to report on a development that I thought might interact/intersect or be of interest to the team. Some disclaimers up front. I am an IT consultant, that is, I solve weird and wonderful problems for weird and wonderful clients all around the world, but mostly rural and remote Australia. I've been in this industry for over 26 years, so I'm probably a lot cynical about "revolutionary" things. I've never bought any Sun hardware, though a Sparc station did land on my desk some years ago where I coerced it into running Debian at the time. I've never deployed a storage system, never bought one and until recently never needed one. If anything in what I write here is contradicted by what Sun says, perhaps you should ask Sun before relying on what I said. The presentation attracted me because it was touted as an Open Source solution and I was interested to know how Sun was dealing with this and how this might relate to anything I was doing either as a consultant or as a member of the server team. The opening remarks were along the lines of "each CPU in a data centre achieves about 15% utilisation, and each storage solution is closed, proprietary, firmware driven hardware that requires additional licenses and subscriptions to activate new features. Sun has a solution that is open and will save you up to 90% in your storage deployments". At this point I thought, cool, let's see what you got. The release discussed the Sun Storage 7000 series which is basically a Sun box that runs Open Solaris that offers a web-based GUI that allows you to manage this. The drives are spread among SATA/SAS/SSD (and if I recall correctly, SCSI as well). A big deal was made of the time that it takes to get data off a drive and how SSD storage in between the CPU and the drive would handle this by caching the data in smart ways. (This is being handled by ZFS.) The box is built using Intel and/or AMD processors - the talk was sponsored by AMD, but I was unclear if the Intel reference was compatibility, as in an AMD processor that is compatible, or if it was because Intel also contributes hardware - in any case, I don't think it matters that much - but I'm sure that there are some reading this who are cringing at that thoughtless remark - I'm sorry, educate me please :) Much was made of services that can be activated, NFS, CIFS, HTTP, FTP, WebDAV, DNS, NTP, AntiVirus and many others. The box is "certified" for MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft, VMware, blah, blah

Due to the fact that the version packaged with Ubuntu is the open source version, and we are using Tripwire Enterprise <http://www.tripwire.com>. I have now had it confirmed that Tripwire Enterprise will only work on RedHat Enterprise and Suse, so we will have to see what our security department thinks of using the open source version, as it pretty much does what the enterprise version does, only without the pretty GUI in front of it, and without the consolidated reports. The only reason we are doing this is to provide PCI (payment card industry) compliance to our servers, as the servers we wish to convert to Ubuntu will be taking customers credit card details (although will not store those details).

Yes; I completely understand this, and definitely believe that this feature is a real boon to the operating system and the community. I was merely pointing out that I doubt I would use this on any of the machines I administer, but actually thinking about your case - a file server, or shell access server with users having encrypted parts of their home directories, I may be tempted to set this up if I knew what exactly was going on, rather than to just answer a yes/no question. I haven't seen the technology working, so can't comment on the usability, but when faced with any question about encryption (like I was with the option to encrypt the LVM volume), my first thoughts are to how easy the encryption keys are to back up and restore should anything go wrong, and what extra steps may I need to take to get it working in a streamlined and safe way. I would probably hit no at the first couple of times of installation, then possibly look at it again later. However, I do like the idea of a tasksel option, because I can always run that again in the future, after doing the research, and this is where I believe it may be possible to win more people over.

Hostname in 8.04
Hi all, I am relatively new to Ubuntu but have used Debian. I installed a couple of servers for use with LAMP projects. On the first server I installed, when asked for the hostname, I entered in the FQDN of the server. I noticed afterwards that doing hostname -f gave server.domain.com.domain.com, and thus when I do some package installs, they are thinking the FQDN is the same. I did a new install on a different server, and just entered in the hostname without the domain, then ensured that /etc/resolv.conf was configured correctly, and now get the expected output. Is this normal behaviour, and is the recommendation to have the /etc/hostname set to just the server name (without the domain)? Thanks.

Ubuntu 8.04 as LAMP machine?
Hi, Posted this to Ubuntu-users to start off with, but got redirected here. I am interested in deploying Ubuntu as a LAMP machine. I have mostly in the past used Debian machines, but some of our web developers want to use a higher version of PHP (at least 5.2.4), and Etch comes with an older release. What is the general stability of the Ubuntu packages such as Apache etc like? I took a brief look at the server, and it seems like some of the packages are coming from Lenny? What are the differences between the Debian and Ubuntu Apache/PHP/MySQL packages? Thanks.
