Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or

...e. Does this make sense? IF yes, what is the right way to create an user only for this purpose, that is one that can only login to give me a local prompt to become root, but has no privilege, no possibility to create files, or do anything at all?

Greetings, I would like to install Postfix 2.3 or 2.4 (I need support for SASL authentication via Dovecot) on a Centos 4.4 server. I have already found rpm packages at http://postfix.wl0.org/en/available-packages/ and pages about using the centosplus repo for postfix. Before launching rpm or yum, however, I'd like to ask the list which way you think is the best way to do this. By

I'm receiving the centos-request in digest mode. Using Fedora 10 and Evolution. When I tried to reply to a centos-request message inside the digest, the result doesn't seem to look right. I cut/paste the proper subject line (replacing the CentOS Digest, Vol NN, Issue nn text), but some have complained that this approach doesn't allow the original question and replies to be threaded.
