Hello, I'm tasked with establishing a persistent SSH connection across a very unreliable link, for a remote port forward (always port 2217). I figured I'd use ServerAliveInterval to make sure that the ssh(1) process dies when the connection appears down, and I use systemd to restart it in this case. This works fine. What does not work fine, however, is the server-side. If the connection

Dear list, I am running dovecot 1.2.15 on a Debian server. One user reports continuous problems synchronising her mailbox via IMAP (offlineimap, via SSH tunnel or SSL socket). It seems that she has a large, locally-created message, but the uplink bandwidth seems to be not enough to push it before dovecot times out the APPEND command. The error/exception happens inside offlineimap's Python

Hi list, I understand that dovecot's deliver does a little more than deliver: it also updates the dovecot metadata stored with each Maildir. Thus, if I use deliver as opposed to procmail's internal Maildir delivery, it seems that the IMAP server later has less work to do since the metadata is can use are up to date. Doing this, however, incurs an extra process for each mail delivered. I

Package: logcheck Version: 1.3.4 Severity: normal I am running debian/testing and just upgraded to logcheck 1.3.4 and it started reporting the error: mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lock/logcheck': Permission denied I created the directory and chown'd it to logcheck and it seems fine now.

Hey folks, As most of everyone, I use OpenSSH for almost everything and whenever I can: backups, sync, Git, configuration management, and of course console sessions. So much for an intro ;) My laptop and I roam between three networks, though sometimes I leave the laptop at the office overnight, or hop over to the third site for an hour or two. I'd like to find a way to configure OpenSSH (or

Dear list, I am experimenting with a new mail handling setup and it involves a single IMAP folder with just under 70'000 messages. When OfflineIMAP connects to the server, the imap process starts to eat up a lot of memory: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 15607 madduck 35 19 283m 244m 239m D 16.9 49.3 0:09.96 imap On the contrary, when

I am a bit at a loss here with Sieve (pigeonhole) and the spamtest extension. I am using Dovecot 2.1.7 (backported to Debian squeeze), which comes with Pigeonhole 0.3.0. Messages are scanned with SpamAssassin, which adds a header like X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=84.6 required=5.0 tests=? and so I configured spamtest in conf.d/90-plugin.conf like so: sieve_spamtest_status_type = score

Hi guys, now that violations.d/logcheck is empty, violations.ignore.d/logcheck-* are useless and many messages that were previously elevated and filtered there now turn up as system events. Thus, I went ahead and merged violations.ignore.d/logcheck-* into ignore.d.*/* in the viol-merge branch. http://git.debian.org/?p=logcheck/logcheck.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/viol-merge Unless I hear

Dear list, we would really like to be able to "invite a third and fourth party" to our current one-on-one call. At the moment, we have to agree to dial into MeetMe 10 minutes later, then make calls to the third parties, and hope it all works out. I have found a couple of examples on the Internet for converting channels into conferences, but I could not get any of them working. Does

Hello, I am using virt-manager 0.9.4 on a Debian unstable system (libvirt 0.9.12) to connect to a libvirtd via SSH running on a Debian testing system (also version 0.9.12), and I have a problem using virt-manager, which first takes ages to connect, then freezes. The SSH connection is top-quality, the hosts are next to each other and connected by Gigabit Ethernet. virsh connections work fine.

Hi folks, According to the wiki,? it's considered a feature of Dovecot and its ability to support multiple authentication sources that "if the password doesn't match in the first database, it checks the next one". ?) http://wiki.dovecot.org/Authentication/MultipleDatabases I think it's great that Dovecot allows auth sources to be stacked like this, but I am not sold on the

Hi there, I found that with an IMAP command like <unique-leader> STORE 1 +FLAGS (testflag) I can set arbitrary flags on mails through the dovecot IMAP daemon. This rules. Now I wonder, however, how I can remove those flags, which become properties of the folder, really. For instance, after the above, SELECT on the containing folder gives: * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Seen

I have rules like this on my servers: ^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ proftpd\[[[:digit:]]+\]: [._[:alnum:]-]+ \([._[:alnum:]-]+\[[[:digit:].]{7,15}\]\) (- )USER [-_.[:alnum:]]+: no such user found from [._[:alnum:]-]+ \[[[:digit:].]{7,15}\]\ to [[:digit:].]{7,15}:21$ basically, I just don't care about logins as nonexistent users, I get so many of those that I don't even

That's a good point. DHCP allows you to set DNS search parameters. So as long as each location sets different search, "ssh fishbowl" will in fact resolve to the proper local FQDN.
