I just noticed this error in my messages log after restarting sendmail. The only change I have made is 1) manual fix in /usr/share/spamassassin/72_active.conf 2) sa-update (several times) Now the mail is not running ok, my mail queue keeps growing. Regards, Jussi Hirvi

Something seems to be wrong with my file systems, and I want to fsck everything. But I cannot. The setup consists of 2 hds, carrying 3 raid1 (ext3) file systems (boot, /, swap). OS is up-to-date CentOS 5. So I boot from CentOS 5.3 dvd in rescue mode, do not mount the file systems, and try to run fsck -y /dev/md0 fsck -y /dev/md1 fsck -y /dev/md2 For each try I get an error message:

What should I do to make an existing CentOS (5.4) disc boot up on a new computer? I just made on CentOS 5.3 installation on that machine, so I know the hardware is compatible. Would it be enough to boot with a DVD in rescue mode, or boot with another hd, and install grub? - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358

KVM virtualization is full of wonders. :-/ I would need to attach an USB disk to a vm, but how? The command "qemu" would provide a way: [root at a134-224 yum.repos.d]# man qemu-kvm > QEMU(1) > NAME > qemu-doc - QEMU Emulator User Documentation > > SYNOPSIS > usage: qemu [options] [disk_image] (...) > -usbdevice devname > Add the

Hi, CentOS 5.x, Sendmail 8.13.8. I would like to start using disk quotas on my Sendmail server, and optimally they should be configurable by user or group. How can this be done?

I tried installing with several options (noacpi noapm; noprobe; noprobe skipddc noacpi noapm nodma). Always I get the same error. BUT this is not in fac a CentOS problem at all, because I get the same error always when I boot from hd (Fedora Core), IF there is a CD in the CD-ROM drive. (I tried with CentOS 1/4, CentOS 2/4 and a HP printer software CD.) It must be something with the CD drive!

I need to transfer a client's email inbox from another mail server to our mail server (Centos 5). This is needed once only (or maybe a couple of times). What is the best command-line tool? Fetchmail? I did this once before, with another tool, but have forgotten. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771

Ok, I give up... I have to ask. This is CentOS 5. I switched one of my raid1 disks, and I already thought I had succeeded. But now it seems that something is very wrong with the first partition on the new disk. Luckily my system is fully bootable with the other disk. Here's some info. The new disk is sdb. // I removed all partitions with parted, and created the first one again. // parted

After system update yesterday, Openwebmail now gives an error: > Undefined subroutine &Compress::Zlib::memGzip called at /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/shares/ow-shared.pl line 1175. I tried to do perl -MCPAN -e shell install Compress::Zlib But it says Compress::Zlib is up-to-date. What do to?? I cannot find an answer by googling. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15

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

Can I combine VMWare ESXi (free version) virtualization and CentOS mdraid level 1? Any pointers how to do it? I never used VMWare before. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) jussi.hirvi at greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi

Later this week I will have to install a serious KVM setup, and I am looking for background material. I found a nice how-to: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM ...but it is probably partly outdated by now. Then there is a fine virtualization manual: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.2/Virtualization/ ...but it seems to be only for xen. I plan to use either CentOS 5.6 or Scientific Linux

I would like to offer my isp clients a solution for sharing (big) files, basically on one-to-one basis. This is how I imagine it: - an anonymous or registered user can upload a file - on response (s)he will get a file-specific (or batch-specific) username/password - (s)he can send a link and un/pw by email - the receiver can download the file - the file will be automatically deleted from the

Mailman works well for our mailing lists, but the archive is unacceptable - the worst thing is lack of search function. I got one tip for this: 1) emails converted to html format with mhonarc 2) search can be done with htdig Opinions? Maybe there are better software solutions for this - I hope. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9

Hello, list, I have a problem with Sendmail configuration. I'm building (on CentOS 5) a "dual-MTA" setup with amavisd-new (as specified in amavisd-new documentation, file README.sendmail-dual). So far so good. But when I tried to add server SMTP-AUTH and TLS, I get a strange, permission-related error, and STARTTLS will not start. In my .mc conf, the Sendmail user is now the usual

There are some googlable ways to feed a list of filenames to vim, but I stumble on weird results. With my filelist, I try to do cat list | xargs vim ...to edit the files listed in the file "list". Here's what happens: [root at lasso2 tempdir]# ls -l total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 17 18:28 a -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 17 18:28 b -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3 May 17

I try to add a fresh, unformatted disk partition to a KVM guest.

It is. On the host I write:

Since when is there a limit in how long directory listings CentOS can show (ls), or how large directories can be removed (rm). It is really annoying to say, for example rm -rf /var/amavis/tmp and get only "argument list too long" as feedback. Is there a way to go round this problem? I have CentOS 5.2. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki *

Greetings, list! I hope you forgive cross-posting - I only now found this list. I am in the process of configuring a KVM stack of about 8 vms. Mostly I am concerned about performance, as there will be a lot of I/O. My last problem is this: I try to add a fresh, unformatted disk partition to a KVM guest. I follow the directions given here:

I am working on my first vim script. The script is supposed to do some find/replace on a file, then save the file with a new name and quit vim. I will save the script in a file and then call it from a bash script like this: vim path-to-the-file -s path-to-my-script Maybe I have not found the right resources. I can find/replace with expressions that are similar to those I use manually, for
