[CentOS] Sendmail Replay problem

[sync]

Hi , guys :


I have a problem about the sendmail replay . The following is my condition:

I have installed the sendmail server on my laptop which installed  CentOS
5.5 x86 64,
and I want to set up the sendmail replay.


That is to say . If my linux account called test and his mail address is
t...@test.com,
when he get the new mail, then the server send the mail to the company mail
server ,
 the new mail address is t...@aa.com



I am confused on it . Could  someone give me some suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Write overhead is minimal, since you're just writing out the same data twice
to two equal performance drives (typically).  I'd really not worry about the
performance hit.

No, that's wrong.  Why on earth would you not want the root file system on
RAID?  And please explain the downsides of having swap on RAID1, given that
the upside should be fairly obvious.

> 3) Swap Size size should be 2X the size of the Physical memory

Historical advice.  I've got a machine with 96Gbytes of RAM, are you really
telling me I want 192Gbytes of swap?  That's just plain bad advice.

For a desktop, maybe.

I assume you want to *forward* mail. As you seem to have no knowledge 
about sendmail at all I suggest you install Webmin and administer your 
mail addresses from there.

Re: [CentOS] Replacing disk in RAID array with bigger disk?

[Kai Schaetzl]

yes, thanks, I will need to do a little reading. I just wanted to assure 
that I'm on the right track and it's feasible. Chance has it that I found 
two more unused disks of the same manufacture yesterday, so I will be 
replacing with the same size today, anyway. But I know for next time ...

Unless you are doing something (such as video editing) that relies on
ultra-fast hard drive access, you will probably never notice the
difference.  With hardware RAID, the performance hit will be even less.

> 2) Dont create RAID for swap and / root partition (Not Advisable)

Why not?  This defeats the purpose of the RAID.  You need to mirror all
filesystems to prevent data loss in the event of a hard drive crash. 
You need to mirror swap so that the system can continue running if one
hard drive goes.

> 3) Swap Size size should be 2X the size of the Physical memory

Not anymore.  These days, I would not allocate more than 16GB for swap. 
You shouldn't really need any swap.  Memory is cheap enough now that if
your system is using swap, you should add more memory.  Swap usage is a
serious performance hit.  Some people advocate running without any swap
at all.

Thanks for all the responses!

I've read MaximumRPM from:

Which helped me a great deal.

I'll start a new thread regarding using RPM to build 
packages.

You'll find MaximumRPM will have taught you a whole lot you didn't need to
know (not that this is a bad thing).  In this case, it really should have been
a case of:

yum install lame
wget src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild src.rpm
rpm -Uvh --force shiny-new-binary.rpm

No twiddling with the spec file was required, as it already auto-detected the
presence of lame.

[CentOS] Building packages using RPMBUILD

[Keith Roberts]

I have been following the MaximumRPM guide from here:

http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/index.html

and it seems a bit dated, but still very good (if fact the 
best all round documentation I have found so far) on using 
RPM package manager, and how to build rpm packages.

The guide tells me to use the original paths, yet Centos 
wiki says otherwise.

[rpmbuil...@karsites sox]$ rpm -iv ./sox-12.18.1-1.src.rpm
error: cannot write to %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES

Is there a package I need to install and run to set 
things up corectly?

I have created a user called 'rpmbuilder' under my home dir, 
and created the rpmbuild dirs under that.

So what build dir shall I go for?

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

Thanks for that John.

I read MaxRPM once before, so just going over the build part 
again. I want to be able to build my own Linux/Centos RPM's, 
and then post them on my website. May even make a 3rd party 
repo. I obviously know the ./configure, make, make install 
and autoconf and automake stuff, so doing RPM's and a repo 
should not be that difficult to work out.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

I don't think LSI has proprietary drivers.. they provide the sources,
and also pre-compiled driver disks for some linux distros.

I assume RHEL/CentOS 5.5 does not (yet) contain a driver for that HBA,
so they're making it easier to use that HBA.

In the future (maybe in RHEL/CentOS 5.6) the driver is probably included in the 
distro, out-of-the-box.

No, it's the user that mock uses for its builds. Most if not all
upstream rpms are built using mock and so are the CentOS rpms.

[CentOS] centos 5.5 x86_64 - mplayer install problems

[Johan Scheepers]

good day,

I have tried to install mplayer according to instructions from the 
following sites..:

http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge

http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS

Then last..:

[r...@johan ~]# yum install libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay libdvdnav 
lsdvd mplayerplug-in mplayer mplayer-gui compat-libstdc++-33 
flash-plugin gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly 
gstreamer-ffmpeg libquicktime

After a lot of stuff ended up like this..:

--> Processing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3()(64bit) for package: lsdvd
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
lsdvd-0.16-2.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge has depsolving problems

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
 package-cleanup --dupes
 rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

All went well up to the above.
Now I am stumped.
Kindly some advice please. I am still learning as I go along.
Thanks

 IIRC the gstreamer-plugins-* are not dependencies of mplayer. Leave them out
 and then install them after mplayer+deps.

Re: [CentOS] RAID help

[Brunner, Brian T.]

  Philix T A [philixli...@gmail.com] wrote

2) Dont create RAID for swap and / root partition (Not
Advisable)

I would avoid putting / or /swap on RAID0 partitions, but RAID1 should
not only not be a problem, it should be encouraged as a method of
recuperating from a spindle failure.

3) Swap Size size should be 2X the size of the Physical memory

That was the other millennium, when it was certain that our programs
used more Core/RAM than you had in your box.  This is now, when you need
swap only when you can't schedule your process load to not over-demand
RAM, and you can't put more RAM in your box.  In that kind of case, a
larger box is more cost-effective than swap.  I make certain swap is
never used. Man 1 vmstat, look at the 'si' and 'so' fields, they should
stay zero.

4) Always partition which uses high read/write to the disk  eg
/var/log /var/www/html  and /home etc
I'm not certain I understood what you said.  My advice on partitioning
is to group read-only (e.g. most of / & /usr) on partitions mounted -o
ro, and writable portions (e.g. most of var) on a separate partition so
the amount of fsck recovery is minimized.  The OP asked about making a
single partition for everything, this is (approximately) what a Red Hat
default install will do.  Making a RAID1 of everything is not a bad
idea, it's called a backup ;)

6) My experience had always shown if your apps had memory leak ,
expect Swapping to happen for sure,  where reboot of the apps or the
system is needed

Buggy software (memory leaks included) should simply be avoided.  Where
they can't be avoided, a crontab entry to kill & restart every hour (or
so).  I'm not sure what the OP is asking.

It is my advice to post ONLY in plain text, not rich-text or html, to a
mailing list.  If it is impossible to post plain-text, some won't see
your post and some who have a response won't send one since top-posting
is "the best way" to reply to html posts, and top-posting is an
abomination to many.

/usr/src/redhat and sub dirs are owned root.root. If you want to build
as a normal user (and you should!) you should fix the ownership of those
directories.

redhat-rpm-config sets certain build macros. Although not strictly
required you should probably always install this packages. One thing I
stumbled on is that a new type of check summing is used nowadays for the
content of the rpms. If the correct macro isn't set you might run into
installation conflicts, f.e. for multilib doc files.

If you make a different user to do builds you should rather give it its
own home dir. But you can just as well build using your default account.

> So what build dir shall I go for?

Whatever you prefer. Just using /usr/src/redhat is probably the easiest.

/usr/src/redhat and sub dirs are owned root.root. If you want to build
as a normal user (and you should!) you should fix the ownership of those
directories.

redhat-rpm-config sets certain build macros. Although not strictly
required you should probably always install this packages. One thing I
stumbled on is that a new type of check summing is used nowadays for the
content of the rpms. If the correct macro isn't set you might run into
installation conflicts, f.e. for multilib doc files.

If you make a different user to do builds you should rather give it its
own home dir. But you can just as well build using your default account.

> So what build dir shall I go for?

Whatever you prefer. Just using /usr/src/redhat is probably the easiest.
If you want to use a different path scheme you can override the default
settings in ~/.rpmmacros to suit your needs.

For example, I use
%_sourcedir %{_topdir}/%{name}-%{version}
%_specdir   %{_sourcedir}
so the source files end up in their own directory and not all in the
same SOURCES dir.

Regards,
Leonard.

See the Fedora packaging guidelines, and install 'fedora-packager' from EPEL to 
get the tools that help you set up a normal user build environment.  This works 
quite well for the most part, and should work better in 6.

I've done that now.

I had already installed the packages mentioned in the Centos 
wiki.

These won't cause conflicts at all with each other?

Don't know for sure, but in the case of RPMs I've built on CentOS 4 and 5 in 
the past they coexisted ok.  But I need to double check the wiki to make sure 
I'm doing it the same way 'recommended'; I've been building my own RPMs for 
different purposes for a long time (right now 12 years total, and it's been 11 
years since the start of my five year stint maintaining the PostgreSQL RPM set, 
some work of which you're still using if you're still using CentOS 3 or 4 in 
production), so I'm going to see things from a different point of view than 
someone who hasn't ever done it.

Try it out and see.

Hello,

I use fdisk.  

fdisk /dev/sde

Hit p to see the list of partitions.  Press d to delete a partition.  Press n 
for a new partition.  


Hope that helps.

I assume you are referring to this wiki:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment

If not, I strongly recommend reading it through. Up front it warns you
to not do the build as root. It provides the details for setting up
the build environment which will help you understand the whole
process. Installing some rpms may be convenient but you may miss the
chance of learning. :-)

Right. I did su to root, and it work OK. But will chown 
those if I decide to use that branch of dirs.

That's a handy tip to know!

Thanks Akemi.

I was refering to this Centos wiki article:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source

The second part.

I'll read up on the link you sent me.

Thanks for that.

Is the link you sent me more relevant than the MaxRPM

The CentOS wiki has been written for ... CentOS users. :-O  The info
in there is supposed to be enough for building rpms under CentOS. If,
on the other hand, you find something that is missing in the article,
please report to the centos-docs mailing list. It's a wiki, so
contributions from users are always welcomed.

Even better would be to create the directories under your home dir and
then include a line like:

%_topdir /home/rpmbuilder/src

in ~/.rpmmacros

I find smplayer is more stable than the mplayer-gui, which 
is a little bit odd, as it's a third party app, whereas 
mplayer-gui is from the developers of mplayer itself.

Sorry .   This way NOT work due to disk large than 2TB.  That is reason I use

OK.

Will try that as well.

Why is better to use a new user account under 
/home/rpmbuilder

than the default that rpm installs source rpms to?

Is there a tutorial on how to create your own third party 
repository for Centos please?

That's something I've been meaning to do for a long time.

Now I have cloud hosting, the download bandwidth and usage 
is no longer an issue.

I assume you mean relay instead of replay, but your example requires the 
address 
to be re-written so maybe you mean forwarding.  For known users you can manage 
this with aliases.

[CentOS] centos 5.5 x64 bit issues on sun blade X6270 SERVER MODULE

[sylvan . dcunha]

Dear All,

I have managed perfectly fine to install centos 5.5 x64 on a new sun blade  
x6270 server module .i had to install in text mode since GUI install mode  
was not working


Actually this machine is going to replace my current working very low  
hardware server
the server is used as my primary dns, mail server , webmail server also  
running Mailscanner, mailwatch etc.

Also I want to use this new sun blade server as a virtual machine using xen

i have installed xen and uts fine

but i have a issue with the diplay driver

I did run system-config-network and selected the card as ast-ASpeedTech  
chipsets since my lspci says i have a
20:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ASPEED Technology, Inc. ASPEED Graphics  
Family (rev 10)


now I run startx and i get the below error

[CentOS] /dev/null permission changes figured out

[Joe Pruett]

a while back i reported an issue where /dev/null was getting set to 600
perms after a system update.  i finally figured out what it is.  i don't
care about failed logins and have limited space on some servers, so i
symlinked /var/log/btmp to /dev/null.  the initscripts package does a
chmod 600 /var/log/btmp, so voila /dev/null gets changed.

so now i know why it happened just to me.  i now need to figure out a
better way to deal with btmp.  any ideas from the list?

Ok, so the driver in /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/ is actually a 32-bit
driver, not a 64 bit one. Something's wrong there, and that shouldn't
happen.

Try deleting /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then fire up system-config-display.
Let it generate a completely new one. Then you might look at that file in
your favorite editor, and see if it makes sense.

Unless you've got more than one monitor, it should have one monitor, one
screen, and one videocard.

Your disk has a gpt partition on it.  Was it previously installed on an
Apple Mac computer?  You can of coarse use GPT partitions on any
computer, but because of the immaturity of the gpt partitioning
utilities, they can be more troublesome (though supposedly everyone is
moving toward gpt because of support for larger disks).  (I wonder if
Dells Perc controllers use GPT partitions? - I don't know...)

parted tries to be more intelligent by reading the content on the disk
and determining what kind of filesystem is on partition.  If you really
know what your doing and don't have other existing data on the disk, you
could zero out the old partition table and/or the content of existing
old partitions and you'll probably have fewer partitioning problems. 
(You can't use fdisk with GPT partitions).

To zero out just the GPT partition table and first several sectors of
the disk, use something like dd if=/dev/zero bs=512 count=8 of /dev/dev/sdX
You can also zero out single partitions on the disk, or the beginnings
of partitions.

Otherwise leave out the count and zero the whole disk or whole partition.

What does it say about 64 bit systems? As I said, it sounds like you've
got the driver in the wrong directory. You might check for the driver in
the 32-bit directory, and what does file say about it? You REALLY, REALLY
need to get the right proprietary driver in the right place.

Where's the monitor section?
For example, mine has a stanza

ModelName  "DELL 2007FP"
HorizSync   30.0 - 83.0
VertRefresh 56.0 - 76.0

which is not right for yours, unless you happen to have the same make and

Put a logrotate config for /var/log/btmp in /etc/logrotate.d that 
rotates it once a day and use 'rotate 0' to just throw them away.

See 'man logrotate' for the configuration syntax.

The man page for lastb says if you just complete delete /var/log/btmp 
the system shouldn't recreate it on its own.

That is the simplest answer.

For GPT, use gdisk as a substitute for fdisk.  gdisk 0.6.10 is available for

NO. Never do this.

Use a personal .rpmmacros file to reset your personal working
directories, so you can compile locally.

Here are the steps I use:

mkdir $HOME/rpm
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SOURCES
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SPECS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/BUILD
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SRPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/i386
echo "%_topdir$HOME/rpm" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros

You may also want an x86_64 directory depending on what you are building.

Some packages will want a i486, i586, i686, and/or athlon directory. 
Oh, you will need a noarch directory also.

And if, for some reason, the system _does_ try to recreate then you
could use mknod to make it a device node that matches /dev/null
eg
  mknod /var/log/btmp c 1 3

One possibility: suppose someone cracks in as the user that owns those
directories. They could then install whatever they want in there... and
the next time you built and installed something, it could carry their
payload.

That's a good point, bu if they get in as root, they can 
access any build branch they want to, under any user 
account.

[CentOS] MySQL repositores

[Ruslan Sivak]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Are there any repositories for CentOS 5.5 that keep the latest MySQL
versions?

After enabling everything I can think off (CentOS, rpmforge, epel), I'm
still only seeing 5.0.77-4.el5_5.4.

5.5 came out yesterday and 5.1 has been around for a while.

I don't want to manually install from the mysql site for obvious reasons.

NO. Never do this.

Use a personal .rpmmacros file to reset your personal working
directories, so you can compile locally.

   %_topdir /home/username/rpm


Here are the steps I use:

   mkdir $HOME/rpm
   mkdir $HOME/rpm/SOURCES
   mkdir $HOME/rpm/SPECS
   mkdir $HOME/rpm/BUILD
   mkdir $HOME/rpm/SRPMS
   mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS
   mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/i386
   echo "%_topdir$HOME/rpm" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros

You may also want an x86_64 directory depending on what you are building.


I've done something similar now.

How would that be more of an issue using /usr/src/redhat than any other
directory?

And seeing that most builds start with either installing a srpm or
building directly in which case that srpm is also being freshly
installed how is this enabling an attacker to deliver a payload?

If they get in as root, you are totally hosed and probably need to do a

[CentOS] two cents or not two cents

[Sean]

Hello Producers

"Longevity of Support" is an attractive drawcard for CentOS if it means 
the exact opposite of Fedora's "short support cycle" that does not 
provide updating of infrastructural libraries for very long, libraries 
which newer versions of applications (like Firefox, Thunderbird, Opera 
etc) depend on and which wont install unless the libraries are also 
newer versions? But is that what it means -- ie that those 
infrastructural libraries (libpango, libcairo etc) are continuously 
updateable to fairly recent versions?

If so, the problem is in reconciling that meaning with the reputation of 
CentOS to only support older versions of applications (eg Firefox-1.5, 
Thunderbird-1.0 etc). It does reconcile, of course, if  the implications 
are merely that the CentOS user must compile and install the later 
versions of such applications from source, rather than having the luxury 
of pre-packaged binaries. It doesn't reconcile if there is some other 
critical reason why newer such applications just wont install. But which?

I ask here because the profusion of vague mission statements and 
'target-enduser-profile' claims that litter the internet re '*nix 
distros' seldom actually address those real issues. And hopefully 
someone can enlighten. My complex production & developement desktop 
takes months to fully port to a new OS (or OS-version), so OS updates to 
get library updates (ala Fedora philosophy) becomes increasingly untenable.

Then there is a further question, I'm afraid. Since CentOS also does 
specifically target the profile of a so-called 'enterprise/server-user' 
what does that actually entail. Does it mean concrete security 
strictures which bolt down non-'root' users or does it merely mean the 
availability of SELinux (but which can be turned OFF)? For instance, 
(with SELinux OFF), can a user still:
(a) su root via Kterm anytime?
(b) Access services-admin anytime via Menu+Pam to control printers, 
modems, daemons etc?
(c) compile
(d) have 6 to 8 desktops running
(e) call up 'konquerorsu.desktop' (root-konqueror with embedded root-Kterm)
(f) have normal cron scheduling
.. maybe more, 
but that's a start.

Thanks for listening.

Sean

You might be interested in giving my ALI scripts a whirl on 
a spare machine (even an old laptop)  to start with, so you 
get used to how they work.

I wrote these especially to deal with doing a fresh linux 
installation.

http://www.karsites.net/centos/anyuser/auto-linux-installer.php

I can set up the services I want running in under 10 
seconds. Beats sitting there doing it manually for 3 days!

The general idea is that you modify the installer scripts to 
work with a particular system - just do it one time. Then 
you can replay the scripts as often as you want, to 
re-install your system.

Please let the list know if they help with your 
installation/update woes.

BTW. Some applications such as Firefox need to be updated to 
their latest versions, otherwise websites will not work with 
an older version. I had these issues with running an 
old version of FF on Fedora 8. I went from F8 to F12 using 
my ALI scripts without any problems.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts

there have been quite a few remarks resembling this. 
Also, I'm beginning to believe the remark made earlier
by ???, which roughly stated "Each time a new release 
is due, the flame wars erupt".

Just what part of "CentOS is a Mirror or Redhat OS" do 
you miss?

Now please, return to the rpm building and raid/lvm 
discussions, as I find them very interesting and

The centos has support for this controller by default, I just had to do

I don't think LSI has proprietary drivers.. they provide the sources,
and also pre-compiled driver disks for some linux distros.

I assume RHEL/CentOS 5.5 does not (yet) contain a driver for that HBA,
so they're making it easier to use that HBA.

In the future (maybe in RHEL/CentOS 5.6) the driver is probably included
in the distro, out-of-the-box.
