For a while I've been getting this in my daily reports: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: error: /etc/logrotate.conf:26 missing end of line It appears to originate from my CentOS server (though since client root mail goes there I can't be certain. The headers don't suggest client origin, to me). I've checked the logrotate.conf script and it looks OK to the untrained eye. It ends

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

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. I found this article: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/documentation-guide/en_US/sn-sandbox-setup.html Would it be straightforward to follow those

Occasionally I ssh into my server to check something, and if it needs the gui I use 'ssh -X'. Until recently there was no problem. Exiting simply dropped me back to my local konsole. Lately, though, the shutdown seems to hang, and I have to close the session. Any thoughts? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to

I'm puzzled by such statements as diff /var/clamav/daily.cvd /var/clamav/daily.cvd.rpmnew Binary files /var/clamav/daily.cvd and /var/clamav/daily.cvd.rpmnew differ I thought the point of rpmnew files was so that we could check what has been changed?

I'm thinking of giving CentOS to a non-tech user for her new desktop. He needs are small. She has been used to Mozilla for both mail and browsing, so equivalents there are not a problem. She needs grip and lame, for her mp3s - again no problem. In fact the only problem I can see is that gwenview doesn't appear to have the kipi-plugins. I can see libkipi listed, but no plugins,

I have used fetchmail/procmail/postfix/dovecot/kmail for some time on my mail server, and have set this up on three or four machines in the past. I'm now setting up a new server and having problems. I've reached the thinking-in-circles stage, so need a prompt. The box in question is called borg2.lydgate.lan, and resides at 192.168.0.40. I can ping both borg2.lydgate.lan and

I run chkrootkit daily. For the first time I've got reports of a problem - Checking `bindshell'... INFECTED (PORTS: 1008) The page http://fatpenguinblog.com/scott-rippee/checking-bindshell-infected- ports-1008/ suggests that this might be a false positive, so I ran 'netstat - tanup' but unlike the report, it wasn't famd on the port. It was tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1008

I have a crontab for Nobody. I tried to delete it in a root kcron, which I'm sure is how I dealt with this in the past, but it seems impossible to delete. Should I delete the file /var/spool/cron/nobody? It is owned root:root, perms 600. Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature?

The big update caused one of the rare re-starts on my mail server, so I saw the startup messages that I had forgotten about. Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: [3424]: warning: python-dbus not installed. Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: hp-systray[3424]: warning: Qt/PyQt 4 initialization failed. Oct 28 10:50:04 borg2 python: hp-systray[3424]: error: hp-systray requires Qt4 GUI and DBus support.

I have pulled in a couple of messages using fetchmail and put them through a procmail filter, which has resulted in the two messages being visible in a file manager in ~/Maildir/Design/new. However, using my Imap account on this box I can't see those messages. Any hints, please? Anne

I am encountering 'transport problems' in postfix, and I can't tie them down. I'm beginning to wonder whether I have conflicting settings in the various parts of the mail server. I have been advised separately by a number of people, so it is entirely possible. I am, therefore, attempting to check every detail of my setup. I was advised to put

Which ports need to be open on a nfs mount server? And does the client need anything opening? I tried setting 2049 udp and tcp, using system-config-securitylevel, but it doesn't seem to save the settings. First, am I trying the correct ports? Second, what am I missing in making the changes stick? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new

Hi, I?m running centos 5.7 with sendmail-8.13.8-8.1.el5_7, fetchmail-6.3.6-4.el5 and procmail-3.22-17.1.el5.centos. My server is having around 2000 mailboxes and this server used to fetch mails for all these users using fetchmail from the other MX server. I?ve configured the below cron job using webmin for downloading these mail 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * *

I became suspicious that I should have received a certain message, and reading pm.log I discovered that it had indeed arrived and had been allocated to /var/mail/anne, despite procmailrc telling it that MAILDIR=/home/anne/Maildir/ Any idea what might have caused this? It seems to have been working like this only in the last 24 hours or so. Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE

I hoping this is an RTFM ... and somebody can point me at the correct 'FM' :-) I've just spent a while setting my new Debian , allways-on box in what I suspect is a generally useful configuration. I have fetchmail(1) collect mail from many mailboxes via pop3. I store these mails in different mboxs according to rules in procmail(1) I then offer these out to the household via imap

I've done some searching and maybe I'm missing something... I have a remote dovecot and postfix server running on debian 5. I then have a local fetchmail server that retrieves email from the dovecot server via pop3s every 5 minutes. The problem is that the /var/log/dovecot.log file has grown to be over 1.1GiB over a period of less than 1 year. Is there a way to limit the size of the

Hi All, I have a system running (home based) Centos latest fully patched, etc that is acting as quasi mail server dhcp and name server. My question deals with mail. This is how it is currently set up. Because I travel for work weeks on end, I have fetchmail on my mail server, set up to poll my isp and download all my mail from work and personal isp. In this way my mail queues at work and
