Hi Guys I have debian boxes throughout a wan that I would like to setup so they pull updated packages etc off one central box. Any ideas ? Thanks craig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: package repository
Isn't apt-proxy suited for this?

Any ideas ? Depends ;-) For example on the number of packages you frequently install/update etc. A somewhat complete package mirror may cause more traffic than you save. So maybe have a look at apt-proxy - Debian archive proxy and partial mirror builder After setting up point your machine's /etc/apt/sources to this mirror/apt-proxy.

I've never tried Vexira as we are happy with our Postfix/Amavis setup running some bigger mailserver setups (+10k user each, some clustered). As backend-scanner we used Kaspersky (kavdaemon) but switched to F-Prot a few days ago as kavdaemon crashed at random intervals on some servers while others run rock-stable. Both, Kaspersky and F-Prot can use a daemon as backend which speeds up the scanning-process significantly if you have larger amounts of mails going through your system. For US $ 300 per server you can get the Fileserver-Version of F-Prot which includes the daemon-scanner and it seems like there are no additional fees (like subscription, updates, ...) Installation on Debian is really straightforward and even supported!

Slightly OT: Just wanted to mention that although Coldfusion is evil (and I second that ;o) all recent releases run just fine on Debian Woody out of the box. We had to install it for some customers and there where no problems whatsoever, neither when installing nor running it in production. best regards, Markus -- Markus Oswald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> \ Unix and Network Administration Graz, AUSTRIA \ High Availability / Cluster Mobile: +43 676 6485415\ System Consulting Fax:+43 316 428896 \ Web Development -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

[Help] Find server hardware stress/benchmark tools on linux box
Hello List : We're 2 intel base testing servers need to stress/benchmark for hardware stability and reliability those are testing servers runing Debian woody... Anyone has any good advice? -- Trust & Unique ... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Help] Find server hardware stress/benchmark tools on linux box
Im shure russel coker is arround He made the coolest stress benchamrks arround. All Free baby! Try: Bonnie++For testing your disks/storage (you can BM a samba share if you want for example) slapper For testing your ldap postal To kill your smtp There are more. Intel has also an io/something stuff that is supposed to work. If you ask me its pretty sucky, id go with bonnie++ every time. Now, benchmark is more in the technique and the statistic accuracy than in the software itself. Make shure you use a good test farm, for example grab a couple/three of old boxes that SHOULD have the combined power to stress your servers. This is important, the bigger your test farm, the better the stress. Also, sincronize it all by ntp so that you get accurate logs everywhere and can cross search and analyze all the data. If at first your servers just humm nicely, your test farm is not big enough. Get enough to make those servers cry.

Virtual Hosting
Long time ago, I ran a dozen domains or so off one IP. Then, did a colo with a lot of IP's and have each domain running on its own. Now I have a chance to decrease my colo costs significantly, but only 8 IP's come with the service (I can get more, but it gets more expensive). I can not think of any drawbacks to doing it. I only offer web, ftp and mail service (apache, proftp and exim). The only thing I can think of is that reverse dns will not work correctly, but I see no reason that should impact these services. Any thoughts? Rod -- BRITANNUS(shocked): Caesar, this is not proper. THEODOTUS(outraged): How?

There are only two real cases for seperate IPs for hosting today SSL - each secure site needs its own IP address. Anonymous FTP - to seperate the anonymous FTP space of each domain, you need a seperate IP - also this allows you to set a custom welcome banner... Anyway, I don't think RIPE even allocate IP space for IP-based hosting any more unless you're specifically doing a lot of SSL hosting.. The 'reverse DNS' issue is negligible... if any of your custs are worried about that, they should probably be paying for a more high-end dedicated service rather than vhosting :)) Cheers, Gavin. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Exim problem mails stucks in /var/spool/exim/input/
Hi people, Got some problems here im runing a Debian Woody, the system is up to date and the mail server is exim with amavis and McAfee uvscan antivirus. For some reason that I couldn't find out the mail is beeing stored in the /var/spool/exim/input directory and not deliver to its destinated users on the system. The amavis config has been double check and its ok and the exim it self has no special configuration it is the MX server on the domain and has a couple of secondary names... The problem is that the input dir is fill with file of the tipe 19yvpW-0001Fz-00-D and we try to reproces the queue with exim -fq but with no success. If anyone got a clue of what is happening or can point me to some "good" reading I would be thanks. Cheers, rak -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Others have suggested apt-proxy, I second this recommendation. Also, if you have packages which you compile locally, check out debarchiver, it arranges your packages in a directory structure suitable for apt. Set up dupload to upload packages to it, and anon ftp to access it. Cheers Corey -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Virtual Hosting
If your clients get domains, buy service by domain, dont care about it at all, go for it. You can chroot ftp/dav..etc, then they wont even know it.

Apache clustering w/ load balancing and failover
Hi, I am looking to implement an Apache cluster with Load Balancing and failover and after going through several options, the only one that is not too complex and does everything that I need seems to be pen http://siag.nu/pen/ I am curious about other peoples experience with this / other clustering software. I have already looked at software like lvs / heartbeat but it feels like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I also looked at mod_proxy but that doesnt seem to take care of fail-over. Also, its quite important that the cluster would recognize hung / crashed apache as well. It will start off with three nodes and might get more added on later. Any info / opinions / tips / links appreciated. Best wishes, Shri -- Shri Shrikumar U R Byte Solutions Tel: 0845 644 4745 I.T.
