All, For a production environment, I'd like to setup CentOS XEN guests as lightweight as possible. I'd like the XEN guests to be able to send nightly email as all CentOS servers do, but there is no reason to run a mail server as the CentOS Dom0 already has an email server running that can act as an email smart host. The options that seem most appealing to me are either ssmtp or sendmail

Ran into a strange issue with XEN on CentOS that I think is specific to CentOS, which is why I'm starting by posting to this list first, I'll post on the XEN list depending on responses. My sense is this issue has something to do with how CentOS handles network setup on first boot of the XEN kernel. - Installed a brand new CentOS 5.3 server with minimal packages. - Installed XEN,

Hi All, All of my systems are running 5.4 x64. The are all AMD x64 processors with at least 2gb of RAM in each. I am running SSH on a non standard port. When I SSH into ANY of my systems, I get prompted for my password right away, but after entering, it takes 30+ seconds to get logged in and get a prompt so I can work. I dont quite know what to look for here Does anyone have thoughts? -Jason

I am using Centos 5.2 as both my XEN host and guests. Both the XEN host and each XEN guest are up-to-date with the latest CentOS 5.2 updates. I've noticed over time that sometimes using init 6 (or init 0) in the guest works flawlessly and other times the guest will reach "Restarting System"/"System Halted" and hang. When this hang occurs the only way to finish the

Given my experience in Linux is limited currently, what do you guys use to monitor logs such as 'messages' on your centos servers? I had a hardware failure that happened in between me manually looking (of course...). I would hope it might have a some features to email critical issues etc...

I performed a test install of CentOS Beta 5 on a system with two ~60 GB drives. When installing CentOS 4 on this system, I normally work thru setting up Software RAID with identically sized partitions on each drive. For my test, the CentOS installer only presented a single drive. I took the default of letting it do what it wanted. After looking over the system I have verified that /boot is

Just prior to the time change, I made sure that ntpd and my timezone files were properly setup. Since this time, I've noticed the following errors: audit(1173310084.404:5): avc: denied { read } for pid=8634 comm="ntpd" name="unexpected.tdb" dev=md1 ino=147662 scontext=root:system_r:ntpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:samba_var_t tclass=file I've not successfully (so

Do people have wet underwear for nothing over XEN? See http://www.redhat.com/promo/qumranet/ <snip> Q: Will Red Hat continue to support and contribute to Xen? A: Yes.

All, I have a fresh CentOS 5.2 server that I am just starting to customize, it is very close to stock. This morning I ran yum update: ============================================================================= Installing: kernel-xen i686 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 updates 15 M Updating: samba i386 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 updates 16 M

I just launched a new mailserver that is using dovecot. My previous mailserver used courier-mail. I am expecting better things with this new server, but I was use to some login information in logwatch that I am not seeing now. For example I would get: [IMAPd] Logout stats: ==================== User | Logouts | Downloaded | Mbox Size

Hi! I'm trying to figure out what's going wrong with a "simple" FTPS setup and VSFTPD. I saw references on Google and tried, and tried, and tried... without success. I'll start by explaining my situation: I have a WEB development server behind a firewall. It's currently only for the intranet. We now have an external company that will have to do a new website

There is a lot of talk about the vulnerable Linux kernel. I'm simply wondering the telltale signs if a given system has been hacked? What, specifically, does a person look for? Thanks. Scott

On my logwatch that I have emailed to me, I see a line where I'm showed logging in via a known ip address, and when I log in from my laptop through my EV-DO card wirelessly, the computer show log in as ok, but it can not translate the ip from the aircard and marks the log in as a possible hack attempt. How do you go in and set a network subnet as a valid ip block and not an attack attempt?

Performing a test install of CentOS 5, I no longer have the capability of requesting a minimal install as their was in CentOS 4. Is there any possibility this could added back in before final release? Thank you, Brett

Logwatch is installed, and I am assuming by how empty /etc/logwatch is that it is running from defaults, which I find in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services I want to customize ONE service. dovecot. Do I copy /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/dovecot.conf to /etc/logwatch/conf/services and edit it there, or do I have to copy ALL default.conf/services/* there and modify

Hello I am trying to get logwatch working on CentOS 8. System is fully updated. Usually install minimal version and then add only necessary with yum. On CentOS 7: install logwatch and get daily logwatch report on mail. On CentOS 8: install logwatch but no way to get mail. Am I doing something wrong? Or miss something? Thanks in advance Blaz

The Logwatch imapd service script distributed with CentOS-6 does not generate anything when I run logwatch --service all on a cyrus-imapd host. Is this expected behaviour? Is there a separate script for cyrus-imapd or are their configuration options required to get the existing script to work. I have found an ancient (2004) logwatch service script for cyrus-imapd but I was sort of hoping that

After some experimenting I have observed that overriding settings from /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf does not produce consistent results. For example, if I replace the default detail configuration in etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf with: Detail = High It does indeed change the level of detail from the default Low set in

CentOS-6.6 Can logwatch be configured to display the system uptime as part of the reporting prologue? If not then what would be the recommended way of including this information in a daily logwatch report? -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail James B.
