similar to: centos email server suddenly much slower. What to do?

I'm trying to get dovecot running on my VPS and the main imap process is receiving a SIGKILL from what I presume to be the Linux Kernel and/or OpenVZ. This happens after I login and my client(s) just sit their idling. The mailbox is empty. I'm not running out of memory. stracing the process doesn't show anything interesting... ... gettimeofday({1233024777, 844804}, {420, 0}) = 0

greetings, I am setting up Centos 6 i686 remotely, on a new VPS. A problem I have is that I cannot set password for new users. I have created one with useradd -m new_user but when I type passwd new_user this is the result: [root at vps ~]# passwd new_user Changing password for user new_user New password: Retype new password: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error [root at vps

Greetings, I have accounts on two Centos servers, A and B, each hosted on a remote VPS by a different provider/datacenter. Until yesterday night, I could connect without problems via SSH to both servers from my home Fedora 16 desktop. Yesterday I completed (fingers crossed) the switch to a different ADSL provider. From the moment I turned on the modem on the new ADSL line, I became unable to

Greetings, I have seen via google that this very problem was already discussed on several lists some months ago, but the archives report no solution. I have a remote server with dovecot 1.0-0_12.beta8 on Centos 4.3. IMAP works just fine: I can read email from both Squirrelmail via web and Kmail. Now I have created an ssl certificate on the server, and I'm trying to retrieve email via pop3s

Hello, when one has physical access to a computer, he can run something like tripwire, with keys and checksum on a separate, write-only media, to verify the integrity of the system. What if the system is a remote one (in my case Centos 4.3 on a User Mode Linux VPS some hundred of KMs from here)? Does it still make sense to run tripwire remotely? If yes, how, since you cannot plug a floppy or

Hello, I may need to set up soon a Linux VPS, to be used almost exclusively for handling email (as in "2GB of disk space, 2GB/month of bandwidth would be surely enough") with a fully customized postfix/procmail/dovecot setup. I'd prefer to use Centos, which I already use and know. One reason why I'm asking this here is that I'd really like to be sure, before I go for it,

Greetings, I have just been given a VPS with a fresh, minimal Centos 4.2 installation. When I ran "yum update" it went on updating some tenths of packages and signalled this error: Updating : perl ####################### [24/88] Updating : rpm-python ####################### [25/88] Updating : MAKEDEV

sorry for the vague subject, but I couldn't find a better one. I have the website http://digifreedom.net running on a Centos 4 VPS with Apache and Drupal 6.10 . This is a multisite Drupal setup: only one installation, with subdirectories in sites/, and a separate mysql database for each website. For several reasons, I had setup DNS, drupal and everything to work without the www prefix on

Greetings, I have had to reinstall my email server on another Linux (centos 7.6) VPS, with a newer version of dovecot, other software and a brand new letsencrypt certificate just for email withpostfix and dovecot (that certificate works fine with postfix). Output of dovecot --version and dovecot -n on the new server is below. Now, messages ARE delivered in the right IMAP mailboxes, but when I try

Hi, there is a remote (VPS) Centos 4.2 server which *may* have been compromised. Reinstalling everything from scratch isn't a problem, it may even be an occasion to improve a few things, the question is another. There are backups of necessary shell script, ASCII configuration files and more or less important email (maildir format, if it matters) including messages with binary attachments in

hello, and some update short version: the error is still there, but I have some more data to share, thanks in advance for further advice first, I am using Mutt 1.10.1 (2018-07-13) as mail client, so it is not an obsolete version. second... at the moment I can send email through postfix on the same server, with the same certificates (almost: I still have to fix some stuff, but is NOT related to

I''m looking to host a low-traffic, personal blog. I already have a VPS Linux host with 192MB of RAM. How much memory is need to run a rails app? Considering that memory is scarce, I assuming LigHTTPD will be a better choice than apache. What about MySql? Do I need more memory to host that or should I consider sqlite instead? Is anyone else hosting a Rails a rails app on a host with

Two VPSs. Identical setups with the exception of the extension. Same version of everything, Asterisk 14.1, Ubuntu 16.10, same firewall rules and so on - box 2 was cloned from box 1. Both VPSs run in the same datacentre. Suddenly, after weeks of OK, I'm getting lots of this on ONE box only: [Nov 4 21:23:04] NOTICE[1468]: res_hep.c:466 hep_queue_cb: Unable to send packet: Address Family

The virtio pstore driver provides interface to the pstore subsystem so that the guest kernel's log/dump message can be saved on the host machine. Users can access the log file directly on the host, or on the guest at the next boot using pstore filesystem. It currently deals with kernel log (printk) buffer only, but we can extend it to have other information (like ftrace dump) later. It
