Second user problems
I have dovecot (0.99.14 under FC4) set up and working beautifully for my mail,
handing on to procmail, and handling many subfolders. Today I needed to set
up a second user. I added his account in kmail and created a sub-folder, but
no sent-mail, trash etc. were created. I have sent test messages
and /var/log/maillog says they have been processed, but they are not arriving
in his inbox.

Invisible messages
I have pulled in a couple of messages using fetchmail and put them
through a procmail filter, which has resulted in the two messages being
visible in a file manager in ~/Maildir/Design/new. However, using my
Imap account on this box I can't see those messages.
Any hints, please?

dovecot/procmail w/maildir format?
Does anyone have a handy example or howto pointer for the matching
config changes needed to make sendmail/procmail deliver in maildir
format in home directories and for dovecot to access it there?

nfs and permissions
My CentOS box is my server for data and some services, including nfs shares.
On my laptop I have folderviews displaying two directories on the server, via
nfs mounts. An fstab line mounts each, such as:
192.168.0.40:/home /mnt/borg2_home nfs nosuid,exec,rw,bg,soft,intr 0 0
From the folderview I have no problem accessing the files and directories.
Now comes the problem. I use kontact, with

Lost mail
I did an update yesterday evening, and didn't spot that it had changed
permissions on my .procmailrc. Consequently no mail came in after that.
I've been out most of today, so just got it fixed, but what will have
happened to the mail for the missing period? Maillog just shows that
messages have been passed to procmail. Procmail won't run if the perms are
wrong, so where do the

Not receiving root mail
Although I have the alias defined in /etc/aliases and /etc/postfix/aliases,
I'm not receiving root mail. Following the previous thread about unreceived
logwatch mail, I tested with a manual run of logwatch, and found that my ISP
is rejecting the mail because it is seeing an envelope carrying my local
address. My suspicion is that the mail is going out via sendmail instead of

What's special about port 19842?
I've had umpteen IPs knocking on this door yesterday. The router blocked
them, so it's not a problem, but why that port?

Getting perl CGI programs to work on CentOS 5 server
I'm trying to get perl CGI programs to work from the cgi-bin (actually a
sub-directory cgi-bin/various) and have set appropriate permissions
using chmod 755. I'm currently testing using the simplest cgi program,
you know the one:
#!/usr/bin/perl
# howdy--the easiest of CGI programs
use CGI;
print <<END_of_Multiline_Text;

ssh -X not shutting down
Occasionally I ssh into my server to check something, and if it needs the gui
I use 'ssh -X'. Until recently there was no problem. Exiting simply dropped
me back to my local konsole. Lately, though, the shutdown seems to hang, and
I have to close the session. Any thoughts?

CentOS for non-tech user
I'm thinking of giving CentOS to a non-tech user for her new desktop. He
needs are small. She has been used to Mozilla for both mail and browsing, so
equivalents there are not a problem. She needs grip and lame, for her mp3s -
again no problem. In fact the only problem I can see is that gwenview doesn't
appear to have the kipi-plugins. I can see libkipi listed, but no plugins,

Web server in a sandbox?
I'd like to understand better the sysadmin aspects of running a wiki. I
don't have, and don't intend to at this stage, a web server, but I do have
spare capacity on my LAN server box, where I'd like to install MediaWiki. I
found this article:

Would it be straightforward to follow those

Crontab Nobody
I have a crontab for Nobody. I tried to delete it in a root kcron, which I'm
sure is how I dealt with this in the past, but it seems impossible to delete.
Should I delete the file /var/spool/cron/nobody? It is owned root:root, perms
600.

rpmnew puzzles
I'm puzzled by such statements as
diff /var/clamav/daily.cvd /var/clamav/daily.cvd.rpmnew
Binary files /var/clamav/daily.cvd and /var/clamav/daily.cvd.rpmnew differ
I thought the point of rpmnew files was so that we could check what has been
changed?

Missing package
The big update caused one of the rare re-starts on my mail server, so I saw
the startup messages that I had forgotten about.

Weird update problem
For some time now updates on my CentOS box had skipped exiv2. Yesterday I
decided to do something about it, so I removed it - together with gwenview,
digikam and, IIRC, libexiv2. That sounded reasonable, so I accepted the
removal, then re-installed gwenview and digikam, which, of course, pulled in
the two exiv2 packages. The version number of exiv2 sounded familiar, but I
assumed that it

Security advice, please
I run chkrootkit daily. For the first time I've got reports of a problem -
Checking `bindshell'... INFECTED (PORTS: 1008)
The page http://fatpenguinblog.com/scott-rippee/checking-bindshell-infected-
ports-1008/ suggests that this might be a false positive, so I ran 'netstat -
tanup' but unlike the report, it wasn't famd on the port. It was

Perl package problems

out have failed, so I need help, please. The current state is

Controlling log file sizes
My fetchmail and procmail log files are getting rather large, and there's
really no reason to keep entries for ever. How do others handle this? I know
I could manually delete the older stuff then re-save the file, but it doesn't
seem a good method.

'Missing end of line'
For a while I've been getting this in my daily reports:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
error: /etc/logrotate.conf:26 missing end of line
It appears to originate from my CentOS server (though since client root mail
goes there I can't be certain. The headers don't suggest client origin, to
me). I've checked the logrotate.conf script and it looks OK to the untrained
eye. It ends
