Hi I got a new Adaptec 6405 card with a set of new harddrives. Problem that I assumed that the card had kernel drivers, which it has but only from 2.6.39 onwards. I installed the kmod-aacraid drivers, they see the card and drives, fine. However, I need to get a "linux rescue" to work, thus I need to load the drivers during the boot of the resuce disk. How do I do this? thanks Jobst

Hi I have (actaully on a number of machines) various Adaptec card installed, yet lsmod shows "dmraid" loaded? How come? I thought that dmraid is software raid? Is this part of the booting and if so How do I tell mkinitrd NOT to make it part of the bootup process?

Hi. IMHO there is a bug in the latest updater for clamav: * it places a freshclam script into /etc/cron.daily that uses a hardcoded datadir not defined in /etc/clamd.conf its never done that before in the last 5 years or so, and I have a script running from cron.d * its overwrites the permissions of existing directories (lib and log) to another new clamav user, although one already exist

Good answer, makes sense. As for the higher layer used - can be either sendmail or imaps as both use the saslauth. Just

Hi, I know I can create a file and mount it like this: dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/somefile bs=1024 count=100000 mke2fs /tmp/somefile mount /tmp/somefile /mnt -o loop but that has a problem it cannot grow. Is there a way to do the same (above) but have it not restricted to a size? Or can I append blocks to the end of the file without distroying it? Jobst -- Sendmail administration

I only need to give access to a well known set of domains, all from Australia and all networks are known and used either from people at home or mobile access (phones, laptops etc). iptables is not possible as e.g. OPTUS does not give away all of the networks mobile phones are connected to.
