SMTPS is obsolete since a couple of years. Use SMTP/STARTTLS instead
over the submission port.

That totally depends on the choice and configuration of the mail storage
and access server. Sendmail is an MTA, it does not know about
"mailboxes". It knows - if properly configured - about destination mail
addresses it is responsible for to hand over to an MDA/LDA.

That depends on the chosen mail storage and access server configuration.
The part of your setup which will server for POP3S. CentOS 6 comes with
cyrus-imapd and dovecot. Read about them and make a choice. Maybe you
already know one of them good enough.

First you will have to decide whether you will run a single domain setup
or to provide multiple domains where mailbox accout f...@example.com
isn't neccessarily for the same user as f...@example.org or f...@bar.com.

You too will have to decide where to store the mailboxes. That depends
on your chosen mail storage server and its setup.
"/var/spool/mail/" is the ancient default storage location if
nothing specific has been setup. And it is in mbox format by default. In
these days where mailboxes typically get a fair size you should choose
to store in Maildir format. This may not be so relevant in your case as
you like to use POP3 access, which seems to indicate that mail will not
stay on the server but will be quickly fetched off.

No, again. This depends on the setup and configuration of the server
part which provides mail access through POP3(S).

Do you like to prove that you cannot stay with the truth?

You also wrote a false claim.

I told him that if his distro does not do it's homework, he needs to compile 
himself. The URL is in my signature and in contrary to many autoconf based 
sources, my software compiles out if the box by just calling "make".

As mentioned before: I deliver something that compiles and runs out of the box 
on aprox. 30 OS platforms (not counting the CPU and OS-version variants).
It is not my duty to deliver binary packages for more than 100 OS/CPU variants.

Can we stop this please? It serves no value for anyone on this list.

If there is a problem with a software package provided by CentOS (base /
updates), then it can only be solved if a ticket and case is opened with
the upstream dsitribution as CentOS just rebuilds what Red Hat offers in
their RHEL package set.

Else people may provide the software through a third party repository
like repoforge extras.

There have been more than 100 related bugs in the redhat bugtracking before the 
bugs have been close without fixing them.

You could show that you are interested in those bugs by reopening all related 
bugs that have not been fixed yet. Note that a bug does not go away if you 
increment the distro version number without upgrading software.

If you like to avoid that similar discussions will pop up from time to 
time, I recommend you to upgrade to recent original software. This is the best 
grant from preventing your users to ask related questions. You then could close 
the named bugs as "fixed".

Seeing his problem I remember I saw a similar complain about SSD and 
write rate.
Searching my recent archives it appears its neither on such an "old" 
kernel nor on RAID0.

Joerg,

Wouldn't doing this cause conflicts with existing libraries?

Will the many apps which depend upon the existing code-- e.g., grip, 
k3b, gnome-cd-- still work after installing your software?

Why not just create one RPM package for i386...?  This would/should run 
on a whole lot of linux boxes and if, as you claim, it overcomes a lot 
of bugs and adds so much more functionality and documentation, then the 
word will get out about it and people will clamor for it.  This would 
speak much more loudly and convincingly than all your posts here.

That's an excellent suggestion, thanks.

However, can anyone confirm that this in fact works? That is, that LVM 
RAID0 of two SSDs and ext4 will allow the file system to issue discards 
to the underlying devices?

[CentOS] Triple- or Quad-display single-card graphics solutions

2013-08-20 Thread Glenn Eychaner
So, after some discussion of our new control workstations, we are iterating in 
on a solution; we are looking at a 1U short-depth SuperMicro SuperServer 
5017R-MF with a graphics card in the PCI-Ex16 expansion slot. However, the 
display requirements have increased to 3 or more monitors for future expansion, 
so I was wondering whether anyone had any experience with triple- or 
quad-display single card solutions. Thus far, I have found two promising 
solutions:

NVidia NVS 510 or 450
Matrox M-series M9138 or M9148

Both these solutions claim to have Linux support, but I was wondering if anyone 
had any experience with them in CentOS 6.4? And if there were any other 
solutions I had overlooked?

Thanks,

Is your code and its dependencies entirely GPL licensed?
The allegation was that some of it is CDDL, which is problematic.

I have an nVidia 510 in a Dell Optiplex 9010, small form factor computer
using CentOS 6.4.  It works well with the standard nouveau driver.

I used to use Matrox M9140 cards, but that requires the Matrox proprietary
driver which, at the time (April 2013), had not been updated to install
on CentOS 6.4.  Perhaps by now it has.

However, I like the NVS 510 and I'll use them in the future.

Is the NVS 450 card one or two GPUs?  If two, you'll have two video cards
and you'll probably have to stitch the monitors together with xinerama.

Matrox M-series M9138 or M9148

Or you can use the proprietary, which builds nicely.

I wouldn't - try either the nVidia control panel, or xrandr.

You can install Joerg's version to someplace separate, like /usr/local,
then test those dependent apps against the /usr/local version.  I do not
use these programs, so I don't know exactly how they work--if they are
built against cdrecord libraries, this process might be challenging, but
if they are just calling external helper programs it might be easy to
configure e.g. k3b to use the /usr/local versions.

I hope that's helpful.
