I put this page together just so I won't spam the board anymore begging for help..lol http://bobhoffman.com/vmissue.html This shows a working effort of bonded eths, bridged into a vm, and a few other things. The only missing thing is something on the host that ends up putting the VM internet connection into some kind of limbo. Whether it is hardware related, bug related, libvirt nat related, I d...

Okay, Yahoo is bumming me. Only system my mail is having an issue with. All mail is accepted, but junked. I can only think it is the DKIM/Domain keys. It is apparent that the dkim-milter is not part of the centos 5.x distro nor is it part of the mirrors, as far as I can tell. So...have any of you done it with your servers for sendmail? There are some sites that claim to have rpms and I have

Hi all, Taken from this link; https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/print.php?form=1&topic_id=34988&forum=55&order=ASC&start=0 Seems like I am having the same issue. I assigned my boot loader to be on /dev/md0 rather then the default of /dev/sda1 Does any one have insight to this? Thanks in advance. BTW, I have no swap partition and will do a swap file instead, easier to

Not sure if there is an app like this yet. I want to keep tabs on my web applications and thought of using a 'page checker'/ I was thinking either running a sum on the directory or each file...but thinking a simple date check would be fine. The idea is web application, except the uploads area for photos, never has changes to its files except when I change it. However, if it gets

When I first started using webservers I leased shared hosting. Then I moved to vps. Then to dedicated. In all that I was with various control panels. In almost all cases bugs in those control panels would cause all sorts of issues. (ensim, cpanel, plesk). The load on the server seemed greatly increased (especially with ensim). When I built my first server 4 years ago I decided to heck with

...ctant, the mail stops spamming for a few hours...then the spammers decide I am worthy of using better methods against me..and more come. LOL. I am down to just 10-15 a day. Anything that gets through all that I set up now goes to a spammers list that I add to the access file of postfix. http://bobhoffman.com/spammers.html that is the link to my list. I am trying to sort them out into political, real estate, bulk spammers, etc. The worst part is the bulk emailers are not on any black list. It is very hard to find their mail MX until they actually send you one. Many will be blocked, then a new alt...

so I gave up on bonding. I found about 300 posts showing eth0 and eth1 both pointing to br0 (bridge) as interfaces. I followed them correctly, or so I thought. I pointed both ethx to the bridge, restarted network and bam...!!! entire ip block went out. when I called datacenter they told me the router was under attack and I was like 'uh oh' and told them to just shut off my computer I

I have been reading the threads on here with great ernest about redhat making a move to throw off centos compilations. I read some stories about microsoft wanting to work closer with centos http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/17/microsoft_and_centos/ I have to update to centos 6 due to some needs of clients who need newer mysql and php (and installing them on centos5 was too hard for me). I

Hate to ask, but after reading the last few months of centos history online I am worried. And to learn the lead guy seems to have absconded with the cash and left all the hard working devs high and dry..well that is scary. They all worked so hard and who knows what will happen now. If centos falls I have no choice but to go to redhat. I am wondering if the conversion will be easy or a complete

Perhaps I am trying to do the impossible. centos6, spamassassin, procmail, dovecot, postfix. Postfix, by default, accepts all incoming mail to any user listed in the shadow/passwd and alias files. I cannot find a way to stop that without manually blocking each non wanted user (like nobody, apache) without killing local delivery. For most of the users listed in those files, who cares. However

Hello all, I am down to my last hurdle of my project, backups. I am thinking of three different ways to go and wanted to ask for input on what you think is the better choice. Not asking for 'how to' but more of 'what is best in your experience' The scenario... centos server acting as a virtual host. Virtual machines are webservers and dns servers. All on one machine, all running

Hi all.. I have centos 5.2 There is a cron file that is commented out to auto update the rules of spamassassin Location: /etc/cron.d/sa-update This file is chmod 600, should it not be 755? All the other crons are 755 This line is commented. #10 4 * * * root /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log Questions 1- should I re chmod it to 600 or leave it

I have vsftp chrooted so that users can only come into their home directory. I have a few virtual hosts. I have the websites in the home directory of the intial user for each site. So the sites look like this. /home/user1/html /home/user2/html Using vsftp, I have set the default to chroot a user to their home directory. So user1 ftping in whill go right to his directory and not be able to go

Hi all, Question: Do you run the cron.d for updating spamassassin that came with the distro (centos 5.x)? I tried doing it when it was first set up and it just kept failing. Although set to run, neither sa-update logs nor cron logs show any activity at all on this cron. And thus I usually do it by hand, running sa-update -D on the command line every week or so. The cron.d/sa-update file is

Just saw this article http://news.yahoo.com/s/mashable/20101103/tc_mashable/google_helps_autotune_your_web_server (/rant - stupid seo links, lame /rant off) it mentions it is set up for linux distros, notably centos. Anyone use this yet? Affect the auto yum update at all?

Alright, looks like I have to do this (centos 5.x install). Some questions.. 1) I imagine I have to uninstall my current version of php...will yum remove want to take a ton of programs with it? Would I have to individually uninstall each package instead? 2) yum down the new version from some repo and then install it. I imagine nothing from the previous setup will be there and I would have

Hello, On my old centos 5 system I get updates from yum automatically, it sends a mail to root. on my new centos 6 things have changed and it has a thing called 'yum-cron' I have it on and it is working....except I can find no particular file where mailto might be added. The crontab is going to root, but yum-cron has nothing as far as a variable for this. yum-cron has no man page, no

If you adjust the my.cnf file to make separate instances of mysql..... How would you go through the mysql secure installation? Is is possible or must it all be done manually for each one? is it possible to make each one of those instances a replicate/slave of a different master (thus a backup mysql server in a way?) working on this now, but having issues getting it to work. (centos 6)

I am at wits end with this KVM. It is hard to get the information needed to do this properly with centos 6 and KVM since it is so new and the googling of 'KVM' brings up everything except kernel based virtual machines. What I have done... 1) my cpus have virtualization 2) centos 6, selected 'virtual host' package 3) it goes to command line 4) I have made virtual guests with

I noticed after my install that the tmp directory was A- not a sticky B- still executable I went and changed etc/fstab to add loop,noexec,nosuid,rw, which I hope is the right thing to do. I rebooted and it looks like it worked. When doing an ls -l on the main directory, the tmp folder lit up all green in putty (cool, I hope) But the chmods I did with winscp will not take effect (they do on
