You missed this part:

dnl # If the sender address/domain is as given, then that relay will be
dnl # chosen for the message.  If the sender address $f has no
dnl # "@domain" component, then $j is used.


It triggers on the domain. If there is no domain, the local hostname is 
appended before being checked against the mailertable. At least, that is 
how I read the comments. As for the rulesets below...@_@

For using a mailertable rule the domain MUST NOT be local (means not class
{w}), which is the case for the OP.

Don't know if there is an application for that but, maybe have a look in:   
~/.gconf/apps/panel/
You might need to modify several files...
Do some tests: add an applet and see which files where modified...

[CentOS] Cacti Installation on CentOS 5

2009-09-02 Thread Gabriel - IP Guys
Dear All,

 

I am attempting to install cacti on CentOS 5.3 64 bit, and I checked the
wiki, only to find that the instructions are a bit out of date. Have
these instructions been updated somewhere, or does anyone have updated
instructions, maybe with known gotchas etc?

Thank you for your response - I went through those instructions, and
again, I got the same error as below.

FATAL: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'. Please make sure
you have specified a valid MySQL database name in 'include/config.php'

The database configuration in config.php is correct, and is readable,
because if I change the hostname, the error message changes accordingly.
I can connect to the MySQL database just fine with the configuration
information that is in config.php. Any ideas would be appreciated - If
this become too off topic, someone feel free to say so.

If you have selinux enabled as you should you need to set sebool

I can connect locally from the CLI to mysql, and I have a number of

Thanks,
You don't happen to know when that was do you? It would be great to
benefit from somebody else's experience, if they've managed to get this
card working in CentOS (5.3). Trouble is, the instructions in the
readme.txt on the Broadcom website obviously aren't CentOS specific. In
the past I've installed additional stuff (eg skype) from repos using
yum, which works brilliantly - I'm a bit wary of trying to install by
other means!

I originally had a Broadcom wireless card in my Dell. It was based on
the bcm4309 chipset which, unfortunately, is not completely supported
by the bcm43xx project. I did get it to work using the fwcutter
program (which "cuts" pertinent driver information from the Windows
driver and allows you to compile it into the Linux kernel). I didn't
really know what I was doing, I just followed step-by-step
instructions. But unfortunately, as I mentioned, I got it working but
the bcm4309 is not completely supported and I had very poor results. I
think the bcm4311, however, is fully supported. Go to:

http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43

What I eventually did was just buy a wireless Intel network card from
eBay -- Intel is fully supported by CentOS with a simple yum install.
Since my Dell D400 uses an older style mini pci card, there are
thousands of new ones on eBay for about $10 to $15 including shipping.
Performance is great.

And the bcm4309 card got installed into my wife's Dell C640, since she
uses XP it works great for her there.

While this does look promising I am hesitant to install anything that

Mail administration is just one of those "little" jobs that I am
responsible for and I just have not had the time to review/learn a
new MTA so I muddle on with the "devil I know".

Thanks for your suggestion it has definitely given me something to
think on and possibly work with.

[CentOS] EXT4 status for centos 5.3

2009-09-02 Thread mbneto
Hi,

I was wondering what is the current status fro ext4 support in Centos.  I've
noticed that is marked as dev when I try to use it from the installer.

Does anybody have a scary story to prevent using it?

I'm certainly not going to throw stones at this philosophy, but I will
suggest that you reconsider in this case.  I'm not really a mail guru,
or even that much of a mail admin, but I switched to Postfix about 3
years ago, and I have to say that the learning curve is a LOT less
challenging than Sendmail ever was for me.  I became "productive" with
Postfix in less than a week, mostly because the documentation is a lot
better, as well as the config files are readable by the average
computer-literate humanoid.  I suggest that you give it some thought.

The automated emails are being generated on the alternate host so this

This is my fallback position. The problem here is that my users are a
rather uncooperative bunch and tend to think that they know better on
what should be done and then go off and do things their way. And this
attitude starts at the top and works its way down. Worse yet some of
this has now become company policy (would you believe it is now company
policy that we MUST top post and fully quote all previous messages).
I was attempting to see if there was a way that I could do this behind
the scenes without having to reconfigure everyone's MTA.

Thanks again for your input (and everyone else's).

RHEL 5.4 was just released, and it contains updates for ext4. 
It's called 'ext4' now, instead of 'ext4dev' earlier.

But it's still a tech preview.

See:
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1243.html (kernel changes/bugfixes)
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Release_Notes/
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Technical_Notes/kernel.html


http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.4/html/Release_Notes/Filesystems.html

"The ext4 file system (included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux as a
Technology Preview) has also been updated (BZ#485315)."

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485315

"The ext4 filesystem Technology Preview has been refreshed with updated
userspace tools"

"In previous versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux utilizing the ext4
Technology Preview, ext4 filesystems were labeled as ext4dev. With this
update, ext4 filesystems are now tagged as ext4."

Hopefully that helps.

As 'yet another way' that might work...  You could set SMART_HOST to a 
name that has multiple MX entries in DNS, so everything will attempt to 
relay through the one with the lowest priority.   On that box you could 
install a sendmail milter that would tmp_fail messages from senders in 
the domain you want the other relay to handle with a 4xx response.  That 
should make the originating sendmail immediately retry the next-lowest 
priority MX address which would be the server you want these to use. 
The down side (besides not having tested it) would be that user agents 
configured to send directly to the 1st MX wouldn't know how to handle 
the rejection.

MimeDefang is a good addition to sendmail because it has an efficient 
design and code for most milter operations you might need.  You just 
write a small snippet of perl to control it and do any custom 
operations.  For example, it has a 'filter_sender' hook where you could 
easily reject or tmp_fail based on the sender's domain.  Hmmm, I guess 
you could do that in the access file with a custom error too - but 
mimedefang lets you think in perl instead of sendmail macros.

I will definitely consider it. The main problem I have is time. We are
a small company and I am stretched very thin to cover a lot of tasks.
Trying to carve out a week to learn a new MTA will be difficult but I
will definitely consider it.

Is it maybe because 2.45-1.1.el5_3 < 2.45-1.el5_2.1 ??? Since '1' < 'e' ?

I tried to confirm this, but did not find any tool to which I could
give two RPM versions and it would tell me which one was higher... Do
you know of any such tool/script?

No, doesn't seem so, I found a way to check that in Python:

[filbran...@adm2 ~]$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 27 2009, 17:57:39)
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import rpm
>>> rpm.labelCompare(('0', '2.45', '1.1.el5_3'), ('0', '2.45', '1.el5_2.1'))
1

"1" means the first parameter is the greater version ("-1" would be the second).

Same here, kind of. My rsync script pulled the package from my local 
(UK) mirror yesterday shortly after it's release was announced, but the 
metadata has yet to be refreshed (still dated 26/8/2009) so yum won't 
pick up the update until that happens.

I have checked most of the centos.org servers, the metadata are ok.
Most public mirrors only sync from 1 to 4 times a day...
The metadata generation script might have suffered a hiccup, but
that should be resolved shortly on all the public mirrors.

see http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/updates/i386/repodata/
for the timestamps of the files

Cheers,

For those that might be interested I have found one other alternative
called Smart Table available at:

http://www.jmaimon.com/sendmail/anfi.homeunix.net/sendmail/smarttab.html

However it is for sendmail 8.5+ and will not work with my 8.13.

I have also found some documentation for both at:

http://www.theillien.com/Sys_Admin_v12/html/v13/i02/a8.htm

You are running 8.13.x? Well, give the ricker hack a try. Is that

Yes.

8.13.1 on our primary development server (CentOS 4.8) which is also
our primary mail server.

8.13.8 on our primary production server (RHEL 5.3 soon to be 5.4)
which is the alternate mail server that I was looking to route some
mail through.

Will do but I want to understand it a bit better before I do.

> Is that sendmail box also the mx for the domains concerned?

Currently yes but I will be changing the MX for the one domain that
I want to route from the development system to the production system.
Now that we have moved the production systems to a co-location facility
I am trying isolate the two environments as much as possible and moving
the one domain name over is just one part of this. Part of the problem
here is that we will be retaining sales/support staff at the our
development offices (no mater how hard I tried I just could not
squeeze them into that half-rack cage).

Thanks again for your input.

I am going to have to correct that last statement as it seems that I 
have lost the ability to read. The 8.5+ version restriction was for
the Smart Table version not the sendmail version. This dawned on me
when I discovered the 8.14.3 is the latest sendmail version so my
statement above made no sense (even to me).

My apologies for any confusion.

If the box is the also the mx for the domain for which you want to do 
special routing, I believe there will be a problem if you apply that 
sender_based_routing patch. They cannot share the same mailertable 
lookups. Another table lookup needs to be defined for sender_based routing.

I will see if I can cook up something on a Centos 4 box.

Thanks for the offer but I would hold off for now. I am going to give
the Smart Table solution a try first as it seems to be a little
cleaner/easier/somethinger.

[CentOS] user defined udev rules

2009-09-02 Thread Alexey Skidanov
Hi,

I would like to change permissions of /dev/sda* and /dev/hda* files to
0644. I added the following rules to 99-udev.rules files:

KERNEL=="[hs]d*", OWNER="root" GROUP="disk", MODE="0644

 

After restarting udev by strat_udev, I checked that permissions were
changed:

 

[r...@gini rules.d]# ll /dev/sda*

brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 0 Sep  2  2009 /dev/sda

brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 1 Sep  2 13:55 /dev/sda1

brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 2 Sep  2 13:55 /dev/sda2

brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 3 Sep  2  2009 /dev/sda3

brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 4 Sep  2  2009 /dev/sda4

brw-r--r-- 1 root disk 8, 5 Sep  2 13:55 /dev/sda5

 

But permissions of /dev/hda file were not changed. Moreover, the owner
of this file is changed:

 

[r...@gini rules.d]# ll /dev/hda*

brw--- 1 alexey-s disk 3, 0 Sep  2 13:55 /dev/hda

 

 

Looking into /var/log/messages:

Sep  2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating device
node '/dev/hda', major = '3', minor = '0', mode = '0644', uid = '0', gid
= '6'

Sep  2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink

Sep  2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink

Sep  2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink

Sep  2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink

Sep  2 16:26:53 gini udevd-event[29543]: udev_node_add: creating symlink
'/dev/disk/by-path/pci-:02:00.0-ide-0:0' to '../../hda'

 

The problem: it's look like the udev rules file works fine, but
permissions and owner of /dev/hda file are changed.

 

 

Thanks,

Alexey
