similar to: World Writable Files

I'm asking here because it is the best resource I know for knowledgeable people. The problem in question occurs on my Fedora 9 box and Fedora 10 netbook, while another person, Chris, has the problem on a Mandriva 2009 box. Whatever is causing it, that leads me to think that it's not distro-specific. Both of us are using kmail. Kgpg sees and lists all the keys on my keyring.

My file/print/mail server is CentOS. My laptop is Mandriva 2008.0. I have smb shortcuts loaded by fstab to give instant access to my home directory and a data directory on the server. All was working well, after some initial problems with firewall and selinux, until yesterday. After finding from the logs that someone was trying to get into my imap server I decided that, although they

I can also confirm this, on my own mail server since upgrading to beta1. Dovecot always makes the base_dir world-writable on startup. ----- Forwarded message from Oleg Safiullin <form@pdp-11.org.ru> ----- Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 07:09:17 +0600 From: Oleg Safiullin <form@pdp-11.org.ru> To: brad@openbsd.org Subject: dovecot 1.0beta1 Hi. After update dovecot to 1.0beta1 some strange

I have a problem and I don't know which part of the mail chain could be causing it, although dovecot does seem to be the most logical source. I get multiple copies of messages to my Inbox. I have just deleted 24 copies of a newsletter from Computer Shopper. The worst example I have seen of this had more than 90 copies. This doesn't happen to any subfolder of Inbox, just Inbox

I thought I had just about got the old server to the point of being switched off. I have been reading from the dovecot server for a couple of days, and this evening I switched the 'sending' to the new server as well - but I couldn't get anything out.

Hi, Need some pointers. Currently using mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Since I can only mount as root, (not in /etc/fstab) sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=xxx,pasword=xxx //servername/sharename /mnt/share Problem here is.. I can't get group or world writeable permission on the share. It's a NTFS share but that is not a problem. I can

My server is CentOS with samba 3.0.25b. One client box runs Mandriva 2007.1 with samba 3.0.24. I can see the client box from the server, but the client box can't see the server. It can see the laptop on the same lan, though. Any suggestions as to what I could check? I know Craig said there had been some significant changes in recent versions. Are any of those changes likely to have

I've had umpteen IPs knocking on this door yesterday. The router blocked them, so it's not a problem, but why that port?

The only obstacle now to running this box as the mail server is that I do read and send mail on it occasionally, while working on something. I need gpg-agent, but can't find how to get it. Is it merged into another package, or do I simply have to look at other repositories? Anne

As from R 2.5.0 users can install packages in their home directories, in directory specified by the environment variable R_LIBS_USER. It's a great feature. But I have a problem with this feature, when R_LIBS is defined. It works well the first time, when R creates the directory defined in R_LIBS_USER. > install.packages('BayesTree') Warning in

I need to have the following services from my server: imap - mostly by lan, but occasionally external file and print serve samba access - read and write to some directories The problems I'm seeing are inconsistent, making it difficult to know how to find the source. Samba access is essential to me. I use a server-based korganizer, and without samba it's inaccessible. Sometimes it is

I would like to be able to check my bank account while we are on holiday. I know the bank's site is encrypted from the start - the login page is https and Verisign-trust encrypted - but is there any risk in using public wireless networks for jobs like this? It sounds secure enough, but maybe I'm paranoid.... Anne -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was

This (CentOS5.1) box is my new imap server. Using system-config-security-level I opened port 143 tcp, and mail is readable throughout the LAN. I want a Roaming account on my laptop so that I can read mail while away from home. I have set up the account in kmail, and I know that that part is correct, as it worked on my old, less-secured, imap server. However, I haven't been able so far

I'd like to understand better the sysadmin aspects of running a wiki. I don't have, and don't intend to at this stage, a web server, but I do have spare capacity on my LAN server box, where I'd like to install MediaWiki.
