Greetings, I would like to install Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 (I need support for SASL authentication via Dovecot) on a Centos 4.4 server. I have already found rpm packages at http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/ and pages about using the centosplus repo for postfix.

[CentOS] Sound setup on ASUS laptop (Intel High Definition soundcard)
Hi, I just got a brand-new ASUS laptop, a W6F light laptop. So far I managed to get everything to work (wireless, X, ...). The only thing that stubbornly refuses to work is the sound. Here's the sound card: # lspci | grep -i audio 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02) I googled quite a bit for this. Some folks suggested to put an addition options line in /etc/modprobe.conf. Here are some of the suggestions: options snd-hda-intel model=asus ... or: options snd-hda-intel model=asus-laptop ... or: options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 model=asus I tried all these (and duly rebooted after each attempt), but to no avail. Usually, to test the sound, I open a terminal and try to play one of the test sounds in /usr/share/sounds/alsa with the command-line 'aplay'. Anyone got that sound card to work? Any suggestions? I'm quite clueless. Cheers, Niki ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Hard disk recomendation for a software raid 5 array. Does Linux Software Raid support/interacts well with TLER enabled disks.
Hi people, I am building a cheap remote rsync backup server using a software raid 5 array of 4 500GB disks. What I have available on the market is: 1. HITACHI GST Deskstar T7K500 500GB 7200rpm 16MB cache Serial ATA II-300 2. SEAGATE Barracuda 7200.10 with NCQ 500GB 7200rpm 16MB cache Serial ATA II-300 3. Western Digital 500GB SATAII RAID EDITION Caviar SE16 7200rpm 8.9ms 16MB cache I am tempted to use the Western Digital Raid Edition as it has 5 years of warranty. However I found out that the "Raid Edition" means that the disk supports TLER - time limited error recovery: http://www.excelmeridiandata.com/products/wd_raid_edition_drive.shtml A more profound description can be found here http://www.wdc.com/en/library/sata/2579-001098.pdf. In summary, the error recovery time of the hard disk is reduced to 8 second. If the hard disk cannot perform the recovery it will report an error to the RAID controller and delegate the recovery to the controller. As I intend to use linux software raid on Centos 5, I will not have a RAID controller to deal with this delegated error, but two cheap I/O SATA controllers. Has anybody used 'raid edition' disks with software raid? Does anybody know how linux software raid interacts/supports these TLER disks.

Scott: This is going to be a huge *LEARNING* experience for me! :-) Many *newbie* questions here: Will it be better for me to get KStars only, from the KStars web site, which comes with a warning (see below), or from Fedora, which is much closer to CentOS? The problem is that it normally is inside the KDE Edutainment RPM and if I get it from Fedora, it will probably be inside that. If I get the KDE Edutainment SRC RPM from Fedora, which version of Fedora should I get it from for CentOS 4.4? (You wrote FC6 for CentOS 5). The kdeedu RPM is not on the CentOS 4.4 DVD.

I removed all openoffice and tomcat RPMS (also any java that I had installed as it also contains JRE) from CentOS-5 and downloaded the latest Linux version from the OpenOffice.org website. I then did this to install it: 1. Untarred the tar file ... it creates a directory full of RPMS. 2. Edit my yum.conf and set gpgcheck=0 ... since OOo does not (for some unknown reason) sign their RPMS. 3. Change directories to the the RPMS dir and issue this command to install the RPMS: yum localinstall *.rpm desktop-integration/openoffice.org-redhat*.rpm 4. Log out and log back in to restart my X server 5. Create any shortcuts I want on my toolbar from the "Applications -> Office" menu. So far, it seems to work great. 6. Edited the my /etc/yum.conf to set gpgcheck=1 ... and exclude=openoffice.org* jre-* (so as to not accidentally upgrade these accidentally in the future).

It looks like you should really seriously think about hosting mails
using virtual domains. If you use virtual domains, you can just copy
/etc/shadow to the new machine and tell Cyrus/Courier/[whatever] to
use PAM to authenticate with the shadow file. Refer to howtoforge.com
for details on virtual domain.
If you are going to go ahead with the /etc/{password,shadow,group}
route, then you also gotta make sure /home/* has the right UID/GID.
