I acknowledge beforehand that this list is not the primary place to discuss these specific applications, but I am pressed for time and many of you have a great deal of experience with these two products. We have MailScanner configured to use SpamAssassin and it works exactly as we wanted. Up until now. I now need to allow messages classified as spam to be delivered to a single mailbox. I

Ok, on to new swamps. I would like to enable PPTP on CentOS4 to accept connections from clients running MicroSoft Win2K and XP pro from outside our firewall. I am testing pptpd-1.2.3-0 and tells me that I need kernel support for MPPE, which I suppose is MicroSoft's own form of PtoP encryption. Is there a way of doing this without rebuilding the kernel? If so, how? Regards, Jim --

CentOS-6.6 tmux-1.6 (epel) Twice now I have experienced the situation where upon exiting from a tmux initiated session on a remote host instead of returning to the originating session I see this in the session terminal display: <pre> ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I am trying to create a one line command that will: 1. Find all files ending in .conf 2. tar these over ssh to a remote server. I have reached this point in my trials. a. I can find the files. b. I can tar them locally. c. I can get a simple fileset tar'ed to a remote server over ssh using tar -zvcf - /some/fileset | ssh host.domain.tld "cat > /backup/tarfile.tar.gz d. I cannot

I have two supplementary questions. First, what is the significance of the $() construct in bash and how does it interact with tar? Does it take the place of

We would like to set the standard date and time display on our CentOS hosts to the format "yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss", where HH is the twenty-four hour clock. Does there exist a simple setting in Linux/CentOS that permits such a change for a specific LOCALE (in our case en_CA.UTF-8) or is it necessary to build a custom LOCALE LC_TIME file? If the latter case holds then can someone point me

Thank you for the information. We are starting a new project on a dedicated development server. We therefore are looking at designing for v.8 from the outset, anticipating that this will be the common production version by the time the project is completed. I had previously built an early v8 release of Postgresql on CentOS 4, but that machine suffered a catastrophic disk failure and the

I am experiencing a folder display problem in squirrelmail [SF issue 1471703] which is caused by messages containing a From: header whose data string matches the following regexp: =?iso-2022-jp?B?[.*]=?=[.*] It has been suggested that I require php-iconv extentions to solve this but I seem unable to locate a CentOS or RedHat-EL4 rpm providing this package. Can anyone point me to a location

I would like to express my appreciation to the maintainers of the CentOS distribution for the degree of thoroughness evidenced in the set up of the test repository at http://dev.centos.org. I was casting around for how to configure my yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to handle a few packages that I must obtain from the test area (firefox, which seems to have moved since yesterday, and postgresql). I

Because of a folder display problem caused by certain character encodings used in some email headers we had previously updated to squirrelmail-1.4.6-1 and installed squirrelmail-i18n-1.4.6-1 to cope. Yum is now trying to update our installation with the latest offical Centos release but there does not seem to be a corresponding squirrelmail-i18n rpm available in any of the repositories which is

I have discovered that the default init script distributed with pgsql v8.1 sets the listening port to 5432 but does not enable tcp/ip connections. One must add the -i switch to the invocation line in the script. I am not sure if this is an oversight or whether there is another way to tell postmaster to start with tcp/ip listening enabled that I am unaware of. However, I thought that this

We deployed our first CentOS-4 based workstation this past spring to see if we can conveniently replace all, or at least most, of our MS-Win based user systems with Linux boxes instead. Generally this trial unit has proved a success but there is one lingering problem that I cannot seem to find a straight-forward answer to: Is there an administrator override to a user's password protected

I am setting up a laptop (Sony VAIO PCG-4?) for my learning disabled son (age 11). I have previously used MicroSoft 2Kpro and XPpro / Office 2K platforms for text-to-speech applications as that is what most commercial LD Assist software is written for. However, with MS now requiring that one inventories ones entire computer software configuration with them before getting updates to their

CentOS-6.5 httpd-2.2.15 (centos) I am trying to understand how directory access control works in Apache-2.2. Does a means exist to revoke access in a subdirectory if access has been granted in a higher one? We restrict access to the entire site via htdigest but some directories are need to be further restricted by the group a user is assigned to. I have this situation: <Directory />
