Greetings, I have seen via google that this very problem was already discussed on several lists some months ago, but the archives report no solution. I have a remote server with dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8 on Centos 4.3. IMAP works just fine: I can read email from both Squirrelmail via web and Kmail. Now I have created an ssl certificate on the server, and I'm trying to retrieve email via pop3s

Hello, I've read on several howtos that one way to make ssh more secure, or at least reduce the damage if somebody breaks in, is to NOT allow direct ssh login from root, but allow logins from another user. So you have to know two passwords in order to do any real damage. 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

Hello, a couple of months ago, also thanks to help from this list, I set up postfix and dovecot for virtual domains on a Centos 4 remote server. I have postfix set up to deliver all email for marco at domain1.net to /var/mail/vhosts/marco_domain1.net/ Everything is fine, as far as postfix is concerned: all email to marco at domain1.net goes in that mailbox, dovecot sees it, etc... Now I need

Hello, I have not clear, due to the new syntax, how to configure dovecot 1.0 to listen only for the following combinations of ports and services: no pop3, from whatever host accept imap connections only if coming from localhost (since I understand this is secure _and_ the only way to make squirrelmail talk to dovecot) listen on the internet only for imaps and pop3s connections, accept them

I have a remote server running centos 4.3 and a home desktop running suse 10.1.

Greetings, I have just been given a VPS with a fresh, minimal Centos 4.2 installation. When I ran "yum update" it went on updating some tenths of packages and signalled this error: Updating : perl ####################### [24/88] Updating : rpm-python ####################### [25/88] Updating : MAKEDEV

Greetings, I just ran "yum update" on a remote 4.2 Centos install. Then I typed "yum search some package" and got this error message repeating continuously: sem_post: Invalid argument A search for this message revealed only these links: http://www.linode.com/forums/archive/o_t/t_1898/centos4_installations_rpm_database_corruption.html http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1202

I have noticed on a Centos 4.3 server where I had set some >8 characters passwords for some accounts, that only the first 8 characters are needed (if I forget or mistype the others I login all the same). Can I "move" the live, running system to longer passwords, and how? or is a reinstall necessary? TIA, Marco -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server

Hello, I have just ran nmap on a remote server with a minimal (or so I believed) Centos 4.3 installation. Besides what I expected (ssh, httpd, smtp) it found as open for listening these ports: Starting Nmap 3.95 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-06-14 17:57 CEST Interesting ports on <my.remote.server> (The 1667 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) PORT STATE

Hello, I'm trying to set up dovecot installed from RPM (version dovecot-0.99.11-2.EL4.1, the one included in Centos 4.3).

Hello, I downloaded yesterday the Red Hat 6.2 RPMs for openssl and openssh from one of the official mirrors. I could install them on a stock Red Hat 6.2 box because rpm -Uvh says (quoting from memory...): cannot install because there is dependency conflict between this rpm (openssh core) and the version of rpm and rpmlib that you are using...... In other words, the rpm packages generated

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

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.

Greetings, I have accounts on two Centos servers, A and B, each hosted on a remote VPS by a different provider/datacenter. Until yesterday night, I could connect without problems via SSH to both servers from my home Fedora 16 desktop. Yesterday I completed (fingers crossed) the switch to a different ADSL provider. From the moment I turned on the modem on the new ADSL line, I became unable to
