We have setup a default quota in /etc/dovecot.conf: quota = maildir:storage=10240:ignore=Trash And have the following userdb configs in /etc/doveconf.conf: userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf } and the following user_attrs defined in

Alle, Does anyone know if there is/where to get an rpm of flow-tools V0.66 or better for CentOS/RHEL 5.3?

Alle, I am trying to install CentOS 5 on a Dual Xeon 5160 FJ RX200 S3. The RAID hardware is an internal LSI MPT 1068 SAS/RAID controller (LSI 1068SASIME-2300). I have downloaded the drivers (mptsas, mptscsih and mptbase) and created the required floppy. When I run linux dd after booting from either the DVD or Disk 1 of the CentOS distro, it says it loads mptsas, mptbase and mptscsih and

Alle, Our customer is looking for a drive with the following specs that works (but is not necessarily supported by the vendor, that would be gravy) on CentOS4/5: DVD hyper multidrive, capable of reading and writing DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R for DL, and DVD+R DL. The HP DVD940e (USB 2.0, but that is *not* a requirement,

Alle, We recently received a requirement to implement a KB/FAQ solution that must: Web based Be searchable Allow registration of users Keep a history of user queries Allow new queries sent to subject matter experts via email and receive email updates when answers have been posted. Something along the lines of what CAP does using RightNow. Does anyone have any opensource suggestions for this

Alle, I'm running V5.3 (newly installed) on an FJ E8020 laptop. The problem I have is when shutting down (*not* rebooting). NetworkManager fails to stop and after (during?) the postfix shutdown, the system seems to hang. I cannot access via another screen or remotely. I can't find any clues in the log files. I could use some suggestions on troubleshooting. Here are the active

Alle, We currently are using OpenLDAP for our authentication needs for CentOS, Redhat and Solaris clients. We are considering migrating to CentOS DS, however, two of our LDAP replicas are on Solaris 10 machines (different physical location, as well as network). Is there a port of CentOS DS for Solaris 10? There's no point in us getting all wrapped up in migration testing if we can't

Alle, Here is our situation: Our customer leases their machines from us and contract us to to manage them (as far as all systems administration issues). The customer does not have root access to any machine (by their own choice, as they want us to be responsible if something goes awry). In the case of their web servers, we handle all configuration, they manage the content. We make changes

Alle, Has anyone gotten Zimbra to work on an installation of CentOS4.3, x86_64 architecture? I have tried to install the RHEL4 3.1.4 32-bit version with the following error: Found zimbra-core Error: attempting to install i386 packages on a x86_64 OS. Exiting... Shouldn't this work with 32-bit compat? I've also tried to install RHEL4_64 4.0.0.RC1 but post installation fails when

Alle, We currently have a CentOS 5.6 x86-64 server running using about 70G of a 500GB hardware raid partition. We'd like to install 6.0 alongside this installation in a dual boot configuration. We tried to install using the "Use Free Space" installation option, but the installer did not see the 475G of unused space. Is there any good way to do this, or is it even feasible? Best

Alle, I was wondering if anyone is using 4.X on any Fujitsu Primergy hardware and what type of experience they've had. I know that FJ provides separate drivers for all the supported hardware that are supposed to be RHEL4.X compatible, but I have my doubts. Best Regards, Camron Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W.

Alle, Does anyone have any experience with with Netgear WG511v2 cards and V4.4? I read the post @ http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=4600&forum=30&post_id=13268#forumpost13268 but the system doesn't even seem to see the card. "/sbin/cardctl ident" shows no info on slot 0/1. "/sbin/modprobe prism54" comes back with nothing. I thought

Alle, We're trying to install kvm on a newly update CentOS5.4 box. Which package should /usr/bin/qemu-img come from, kvm-qemu-img or qemu? When we try to install kvm\* we get the following error: Transaction Check Error: file /usr/bin/qemu-img from install of kvm-qemu-img-83-105.el5.x86_64 conflicts with file from package qemu-0.9.0-4.x86_64 file /usr/share/man/man1/qemu-img.1.gz

Alle, I have an HP L7780 MFP, which is supported under hplip 1.7.2 but not the current install of 1.6.7. Does anyone know of a way just to add that particular driver to 1.6.7, or will it require removing the standard 1.6.7 and doing a custom install of 1.7.2. If the latter, what would you consider the dangers/other implications of going "rogue"? Best Regards, Camron -- Camron W.

Alle, We have recently had one of our office servers go south.
