Hi guys, I'm trying to figure out something wherein excluded repositories for the yum-fastestmirror plugin are still being used by the system. To illustrate: [root at sales ~]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/fastestmirror.conf [main] enabled=1 verbose=0 socket_timeout=3 hostfilepath=/var/cache/yum/timedhosts.txt maxhostfileage=10 maxthreads=15 #exclude=.gov, facebook exclude=maulvi, .gov.ph, .vn

Hello everyone, I'm setting up a fetchmail command to run every five minutes so I can get email from another POP3 account. The fetchmail package was installed via yum. I can execute the command manually on the command line. But I'm having trouble when it's run from cron. I have noticed that commands run via cron and execute via /bin/sh, so I tried to run the fetchmail command

Hi all, I am trying to block all IP addresses from Africa due to a high rate of fraudulent orders coming from them. I have some found some websites that can generate a range of IP addresses. However, you would have to enter the ranges by country. I can use those perhaps but that would mean I would have to get the ranges for each country one by one. Has anyone here a list of addresses from

Hi All, I've got a brand new dovecot installation. I'm new to dovecot, so please be gentle :-) Anyway, I'm getting some errors when I try to connect to dovecot. I've tried searching the web and haven't been able to find a lot of information. Here's the config info: # dovecot --version 1.1.2 # dovecot -n sudo dovecot -n # 1.1.2: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir:

I have had this problem on and off since RedHat 6, and I always worked through it, but I thought I would ask. When you have multiple network interfaces, how does the system determine the default route? Or is it the first, (or last) interface that comes up? On the problem systems I have to add a "route add default..." statement in some systems in the rc.local to get them to work right.

Hello everyone, Although we use CentOS primarily on our servers, this query is actually more of a general networking question than something specific to CentOS. In the next week or so, we shall be migrating our in-house servers to a data center. While we're doing that, we'd like to show a "Site down for maintenance" message while the servers that hosts our websites (we have

Hello everyone, Does anyone know if there are any Postgresql 8.1.3 RPMs for CentOS 3.6? I've looked at the Postgresql website but I couldn't find anything under RHEL3/CentOS3. I've tried installing the RHEL4 RPMs which seem to work. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors whenever I try to compile PHP5 from source. Thanks and Best Regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no

Hello everyone, I'm doing an audit of all our servers here (there aren't that many maybe around 5-10) and one of the things I'm doing is taking note of each server's hardware specs (processor, memory, etc). I can't seem to figure out how to get the information for the hard drives. The drives are in a hardware RAID5 array and are all SCSI types. I would like to get each

Hi all, Sorry if this seems too basic. But is there a way to overwrite the target of a symbolic link without first deleting the symlink itself? For example, if I have this: public_html -> releases/b2b-20080228 ... and there's a new update, I can then just do the following: $ ln releases/site-latest public_html I tried using the -f option but it doesn't seem to work as expected.

Hi All, I have a project which is to build a customized Linux distribution with a focus on deploying a Samba as Primary Domain Controller. It's pretty much like Trixbox but instead of Asterisk and VOIP, will be focused on Samba. Right now, I am looking for a solution for an administrator to easily manage the service. Of particular importance would be to easily add workstations and set up

I have an Infortrend RAID box I'd like to see as one big 6TB partition, but I only can get 2.2TB partitions to work. I was trying to do this with an Adaptec controller but apparently they are only (any of them) 48 bits wide. Does anybody have a working system for SCSI/Centos over 2.2TB?

Hello all this is my first post to this list so i would like to than you all in advance for your time and consideration. I am in the process of building a new server and have purchased some used hardware. There seems to be some hardware issuses and i am hoping nothing was damaged during shipping.

Hi All, I have a Trixbox server (CentOS derivative) from which our Cisco IP phones get their config files via TFTP. I have noticed that when I run the TFTP server via "service xinetd start", I am not able to get files via TFTP. I have tested it by doing a manual transfer via a TFTP client from another machine. When I try to run the TFTP service manually by doing

Hi everyone, I use the "screen" command from time to time and what i would still have to figure out how to do is for it to be able to source .bashrc and read my user-defined configuration (aliases for example). I have already added the "source /root/.bashrc" line on /root/.screenrc but it doesn't seem to be working. Would anyone know how this should work? Thanks, Matt

Hi guys, I am currently looking for a workaround with regards to running screen as a normal user. When I try to run it, I get the following: [mbaluyos at mla torrents]$ screen Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/0' - please check. To get around this, I had to chmod 777 /dev/pts/0. It's an insecure hack so I'm looking for the right way of doing it. Would anyone be able to guide

I followed the Wiki instructions for setting up *yum-priorities*. I added the rpmforge repo I installed clamd without a problem. Now when I go to update I get conflicts with perl-Math-BigInt. Is the only solution to uninstall the base version and then install the rpmforge version? According the the wiki "Packages from repositories with a lower priority will never be used to upgrade
