similar to: Weird error when using VI on FreeBSD-4.x

By default FreeBSD 7.0 shipped with the sysctls set to: kern.maxfiles: 12328 kern.maxfilesperproc: 11095 We recently bumped up against these limits in an unfortunate way and we are going to raise them. I have some questions: * why are the numbers set the way they are? They aren't round numbers, they aren't powers of 2. But they were arrived at somehow with planning and thought

Hi All, I just upgraded to the new 1.1rc5 from 1.0 that I had been using and it advised me to increase the file descriptor limit. I'm not sure how to do this. There is a command built into tcsh that allows me to do this called limit, but sudo limit 4224 doesn't work, and usually dovecot is started from the rc.local file if I recall right, and I'm not sure how to set this up from

I have FreeBSD-6.1 and it appears the default installation has a full complement of Kerberos5. But, /usr/src/kerberos5/README states: This subtree is world-exportable, as it does not contain any cryptographic code. At the time of writing, it did not even contain source code, only Makefiles and headers. Please maintain this "exportable" status quo. Thanks!

For the last few system builds, I've noticed that the variable in /etc/make.conf NO_MAILWRAPPER=true is being ignored, resulting in my sendmail (different than stock version) being overwritten. This applies to 4.8-STABLE; is this a known issue.

Hello, For two days in a row, I've noticed that my dovecot server (hosted on a PowerMac running OS X) has stopped working, with a bunch of error messages in /var/log/mail.log like: May 24 07:31:10 top dovecot: pipe() failed: Too many open files To solve this, I have to kill -9 dovecot and the (many) imap processes running. The only client accessing the server is a machine running

I'm just writing to see if anyone else is seeing the following issues, and particularly if they are running OS X (especially 10.4), and/or have compatible solutions (I've been reading the mailing list quite a bit, and every now and then, I find a solution that just "doesn't work" because of the differences in OS: 1) Too many files open - no plimit command on OS X, so I

We have 10 SuperMicro PDSMi+ 5015M-MTs that are panic'ing every few days. This started shortly after upgrade from 6.2-RELEASE to 6.3-RELEASE with freebsd-update. Other than switching to a debugging kernel, a little sysctl tuning, and patching with freebsd-update, they are stock. The debugging kernel was built from source that is also being patched with freebsd-update. These systems are

I'm a new dovecot user, just began using it last week. I switched from courier because my research showed that Dovecot did indexes, and allows me to store them anywhere I chose. I did this, and it fixed some severe disk IO issues that my server had. (25k horde only webmail install using imap proxy). I'm using quotas, and by default had it set to 'dirsize'. my postfix is already

I also keep on getting funny errors of dovecot EVEN THOUGH I authenticated successfully through SMTP (Dovecto SASL) ?!?! Just for debugging this entire issue I set those parameters: debug_level = -1 auth_verbose = yes auth_verbose_passwords = yes auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes mail_debug = yes verbose_ssl = yes cat /var/loca/maillog Jan 26 12:08:22 WM-01

I am running Samba 3.0.5 on OS X 10.3.8 Server. It's the stock Samba supplied by Apple with no modifications. I am running a variety of shares on the system to around 50 PC clients. I came into the office this morning with a dead Xserve... could not login, could not ping or ssh into the system. Users in the office could not even browse the network. When they tried to browse the

Why would this be happening, and how can I fix this - the man subsystem hasn't been working because of this for a while. This is FreeBSD-4.9-Prerelease: # gdb man man GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-freebsd"...(no debugging symbols found)... /usr/share/tmac/man: No such file or directory. And when I go to run a manpage, I sometimes get this

I did ./configure make make install I got no errors, but it doesn't seem to have installed everything I need. Swat won't start. It didn't put an smb.conf file in /etc/samba (it didn't even create this folder) or /usr/local/samba/lib/. When I run testparm, I get Segmentation fault as my only output. Even if I create an smb.conf and run testparm on that file I get the exact

We have a Sun E450 running Solaris 8 and Samba 2.2.8a as our domain controller. We have had no problems with Samba until earlier this week when we have started to get lots of these errors in log.smbd: [2003/08/08 16:29:14, 0] lib/debug.c:(348) Unable to open new log file /home/samba_pearl/var/log.smbd: Too many open file s This has been happening once a day, at the same time some users are not

Hi We are building a Linux app under Centos 5.3, using gnu make 3.81 and gcc 4.12. The working directory is on a remote machine and is either a Samba share or a Windows 7 share. We find that in the case of a Windows 7 share the resulting executable has the sticky bit set in group: On Windows 7 share: -rwxrwSrwx 1 <snip> myapp On Samba share: -rwxrwx--x+ 1 <snip> myapp The

I wonder if anyone has tried using an IMAP server with Amazon S3 as a backend. There would be many factors to consider (speed, etc). However, moreso, I don't know that Maildir(++) would support multiple folders that might be linked into the cloud. For example, higher-I/O local incoming mail is on disk, some folders archived on S3. Could be easily done by simply creating another

I need to rsync a large collection of files (images) that number in the 1000's. We have 2 repositories, one was mass-copied recently, the other has since had updates performed. The initial copy took over 5 hours to complete ;-) What we want is only to update the destination (old) copy with newer files, delete anything that shouldn't be there. What I'm trying to determine is

I've had a problem with 4.8-STABLE whereby a new system build/install appears to nudge out the module File::Spec (perhaps others), which I usually have to reinstall every time. I'm curious about what's happening here, why, etc. Thanks.
