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

Whether I like it or not I need to get a version of PHP that is greater than 5.2.1 as the latest SugarCRM version require this and as I am a module developer I need to have one of the later versions of PHP on my machines. Does anyone know of a reliable and good archive for PHP that provides higher versions than the ones supplied by the upstream provider? Thanks Jobst -- 'Two things

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

Hi. I am getting loads of errors "no backend defined for idmap config MYDOMAIN" after I upgraded from 3.5 -> 3.6 a couple of days ago. I read http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_3.6_Features_added/changed and did what man smb.conf suggested: idmap config MYDOMAIN : backend = tdb idmap config MYDOMAIN : range = 500-1999999 yet I still receive those errors. I used

Hi I have two different IP addresses (in a block of /29), one is on port 0 and the other is on port 2 of a Ciso 888. I am doing this so I can have two different certs with two different ip addresses.

Hi. Is there any way to limit access to dovecot by domains. 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. I know some, but not all. It would be much

Hi. I am stuck with this one and I do not know where and how to search for this problem nor do I know how to fix it. When I reboot one of our servers (CentOS 6.7, selinux target, yum fully updated) the http server loads fine (no erros) but when accessing one of the server's websites it displays "Forbidden", restarting the httpd server (command line) will give full access and all is

Hi. I posted this on the clamav list as well, as I do not know whether this is a rpm issue or clamav issue. Strange problem indeed: [root /tmp] #>yum list installed "clamav*" Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Installed Packages clamav.x86_64 0.98-2.el5.rf installed clamav-db.x86_64 0.98-2.el5.rf installed

Hi I am not sure how to solve this. I am constantly getting messages that should go into the kern/message log printed on screen - MOSTLY from iptables. The messages are ALSO logged to the syslog files. It still prints those message onto the console screen even if I am logged off (security issue). When logged in on the console its anoying as I constantly have to hit CTRL-L to refresh the

Hi I want to put up a few cameras connected to a CentOS box. I currently have a box with one camera and that works (USB), I can take a pic (the script does that) and see that on a webpage. However, I want to have a couple of cameras a little further away (more than 5 meters). USB has a limit, I have tried that camera with a longer cable and it does not work ... so I need to route that in a

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 want to setup a SMS system for Nagios on a 5.9 box. I read in a blog that the two modems Huawei [ E160G | E176 ] work with 6.3. Anybody any experience with those modems and do they work with 5.9? Are there any other devices that are better/recommended?

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

Hi. I have two internet connections, the ADSL2+ is very very cheap (but fast 10mb) and I want to use the SHDSL (2mb) only for mail,ssh,http OUT and the ADSL2+ only for surfing. I all works fine if people specify the proxy in the browser, but in case like flash it of no use. Further if I can make the 80/443 traffic go through the proxy only, its an added bonus. If this can be done, fine. Bue I
