similar to: rsyncing as root when root login is disabled?

I have spent a long time looking into this and can't find the answer I'm looking for, so I'm asking here. I'm cutting the example down to just the bare minimums. This is NOT my actual configuration, but is sufficient for asking this question: How can I use dovecot's deliver LDA to deliver to virtual users, but then have unknown virtual users fall back to catch-all

I'm haing some trouble getting my rsyncing to work in FreeBSD. I'll go over my setup. I have a dedicated server that manages all rsync backups. I have a NAS device with an NFS share on it that mounts to /backup on the server above. I have 3 FreeBSD machines including the dedicated rsync managing server that all have specific folders that need to be backed up nightly. The problem I

Hi to all, I have an issue with Dovecot Sieve on sending vacation message... Actually Sieve is working and I can use all the filters but just vacation is causing a problem and only in specific case... I have Dovecot + Postfix + LDA running on Ubuntu 11 without MySql database for users but I'm using virtusertable instead. The problem is when linux user ( mail user ) is different from mail

Dear Rsync Users, Please can I have a bit of rsync advice? I am trying to rsync a file called. 'Draft text - with Holley comments.doc' from machine a to machine b. Unfortunately this isn't working because I think rsync recognises the - character and thinks it's an option. I have tried escaping this out as well as putting it all in " " but neither seems to work

HI folks, I've an up-to-date CentOS 5.x box on a small intranet (<20 users). We did a reboot over the weekend and all appears well except that clients on the LAN can no longer send email. Just hangs/times out. No clear identifiers in the /var/log/maillog or /var/log/messages. We're not setup for ESMTP as it's a closed network and I'm really hoping for a kickstart as to

This is not CentOS-specific, hence OT. I need a list of all email users on my system (there are hundreds of them). The list could be extracted from /etc/aliases and the virtusertable. Does anyone know of a script that would do this automatically? It would have to - exclude commented-out lines (of course) - exclude duplicates - produce a list of usernames (or maybe unresolved email addresses for

Hi, i send a email to my server but i get Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 5.7.1 <postmaster at mercadeoeficaz-cr.com>: Relay access denied

Hi list! I'm trying to use rsync to do a regular remote backup of a 450GB sized container file located on my squeeze server onto a colocated QNap NAS device. Both use rsync 3.0.7. While this setup works for most files, it fails on this large file (see log below). I'm already trying to help rsync using "-P" to indicate that rsync should reuse the current copy and not trying

I've set up Samba on Mac OS X to do pass through authentication to the nt domain in AD several times now. No big deal, it usually just works. Now, however, it doesn't appear to be working. Note the relevant part of the transaction below (loglevel 4). Steps to replicate: a) Add pre-Win2K account with AD Users and computers b) sudo smbpasswd -j EXAMPLE -r WINSERVER -U

I know this is a "generic" question, but fully CentOS related. I attempted to set up i386 v.4.1 on my primary computer at the co-located site, and thought I had everything squared away till I discovered the machine was refusing mail connections. AFIK, I had no firewall or other objects blocking port 25. It has been my experience that with most arch's and versions where sendmail is

Hi, Think I've found either a documentation bug, in rsync (or possibly a code bug), with the include/exclude feature. This occurs on (at least) 2.5.5 and 2.5.6 First I created a file list of files that I wanted backed up [root@poppy root]# cat /tmp/sendmail-rpmverify-out /etc/ /etc/aliases /etc/mail/ /etc/mail/helpfile /etc/mail/local-host-names /etc/mail/sendmail.mc

I have centos 4.8 i686. It has stock sendmail. see file below. I am getting reports that it is an open relay. I have searched all around and it seems like it should be closed. I have dnl for accept_unresolvable_domains. What can I do to close my sendmail. Thanks, Jerry My sendmail.mc is as follows: --------------------------------- divert(-1)dnl dnl # dnl # This is the sendmail macro config

I'm not able to add Win clients to my domain anymore. I receive an error on the PC (2000 or XP): "The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "[DOMAIN]": Logon failure: unknown user name or password." But I am able to log on to the server when accessing shares and printers. This error message only appears when joining the domain. And on the Mac OS X

Hi All, Firstly, I know this is a MacOS X issue and not sure if you guys can help, but I'm really hoping you can since I don't appear to be getting any joy elsewhere. Running OSX 10.5.4 and recently (last week) nmbd is hogging the CPU. I know this is a part of the Samba server on OSX, hence the post to this mail-list. When I disconnect from the network, nmbd goes away and doesn't

I'm new to dovecot and sendmail and my server doesn't forward mails to 'dovecot deliver' at all. I was reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail and this http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2009-June/040353.html from the mailling list but I could figure it out myself. I someone could point me into the right direction. I'm confused with the config for LDA. Basically what I

hello, with --stats, shouldn`t we differ between "number of files transferred" and "number of files failed" ? the problem is, that i have files which ALWAYS fail on transfer, and to check for "number of files failed"<=2 would be the best way for me to check if the overall transfer was ok. if i magaged to create a patch to adress this, would such patch be

Hello everyone, I tried to configure sendmail so that I can use mail() in php. I don't host my email server, my ISP does. I just want to configure sendmail so that it uses external email server (my ISP) to send mail. When I executed mail(), i got no error report from php. I checked /var/log/maillog and it indicated that the message was accepted for delivery. However, it didn't

Hello: On a CentOS5 machine I set up for a client, in /etc/aliases, I set root's mail to forward to my email address so I can get notices from cron, etc. Unfortunately, I am now getting a lot of spam which is sent to root at theservername.com How can I tell sendmail to not accept external email to root? I searched the Internet and found some horribly convoluted solutions. There has to

This morning I got two users come down to me saying their word doc was lost. Apparently they tried to save their docs to their home folder which is on samba share. XP had given an error along the lines 'Network connection to network drive is lost and word is unable to save the document' and then Word crashed. I went to smb logs and found this.
