This (CentOS5.1) box is my new imap server. Using system-config-security-level I opened port 143 tcp, and mail is readable throughout the LAN. I want a Roaming account on my laptop so that I can read mail while away from home. I have set up the account in kmail, and I know that that part is correct, as it worked on my old, less-secured, imap server. However, I haven't been able so far

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

I would like to be able to check my bank account while we are on holiday. I know the bank's site is encrypted from the start - the login page is https and Verisign-trust encrypted - but is there any risk in using public wireless networks for jobs like this? It sounds secure enough, but maybe I'm paranoid.... Anne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was

I thought I had just about got the old server to the point of being switched off. I have been reading from the dovecot server for a couple of days, and this evening I switched the 'sending' to the new server as well - but I couldn't get anything out. I got: Error while uploading message Could not upload the message dated Wed Feb 1 21:2:56 2006 from Anne Wilson <cannewilson

The only obstacle now to running this box as the mail server is that I do read and send mail on it occasionally, while working on something. I need gpg-agent, but can't find how to get it. Is it merged into another package, or do I simply have to look at other repositories? Anne

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: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/documentation-guide/en_US/sn-sandbox-setup.html Would it be straightforward to follow those

My daughter needs to send me a large file. It appears that it is getting through my ISP, but being rejected on my CentOS mail server. The message she's getting says A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: anne at localhost SMTP error: 552 5.3.4 Message size exceeds fixed limit

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,

After completely trashing my system a few days ago, I now have FC4 running, and have compiled dovecot-1.-beta1. Everything is placed in a different place from the debian install, so it's possible that I have a path problem. Attempting to start dovecot in a root console brings up the line Login user doesn't exist: dovecot Advice, please? Anne

My server is supposed to be using ntp, with nothing changed from the defaults set up by CentOS5. However, daily I see log entries like Total synchronizations 2 (hosts: 2) **Unmatched Entries** sendto(193.6.222.20) (fd=21): Invalid argument: 1 time(s) sendto(141.89.226.2) (fd=21): Invalid argument: 1 time(s) Does this mean that ntp is failing? I assume so, and if so, how do I change

When I installed CentOS it was with an old monitor, and it turned out that I could not get system-config-display to set it up correctly. I bought a new monitor and now all is well, except... It still boots to a text login, and I have to startx. What do I need to edit to change this? Thanks Anne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed... Name:

I am encountering 'transport problems' in postfix, and I can't tie them down. I'm beginning to wonder whether I have conflicting settings in the various parts of the mail server. I have been advised separately by a number of people, so it is entirely possible. I am, therefore, attempting to check every detail of my setup. I was advised to put

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? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to

I'm trying to get hplip-2.7.12 installed, and I'm reasonably sure that I had it installed on this box before my problems last month. Anyway, it will not build at the moment. It stops the Configure with "configure: error: "cannot find libjpeg support". However, Package libjpeg - 6b-37.i386 is already installed. Similarly, attempting to install hplip-3.9.2 stops with

I was having a problem in a shell script that turned out to be cp being aliased to 'cp -i'. Not a showstopper, once you realise it, but it did beg the question as to where this file is. I was told to look in /etc/profile.d, but that doesn't seem to be the case on my CentOS box. I can list aliases, so I know the file exists, but where? Anne -------------- next part

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?

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 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1008
