Re: [CentOS] U320 PCI-X SCSI HBA experiences on x86_64

I can't remember if I brought it up on this list, but my permanent home is less than 5 miles from Adaptec's major support center in Orlando. I know several gentlemen who have worked their throughout the years, and many of them have told me the same thing. If you use Adaptec, use the _retail_ products. The OEM editions have custom firmware and changes, and the Linux drivers are often not guaranteed to work. Indeed I have regularly run into numerous issues with many Adaptec products that have come with servers, even a few of the tier-1 OEMs who ship and support Linux for servers (this is less commonplace in more recent years). As such, I have always preferred Symbios Logic / LSI Logic products because the overwhelming majority of their products are the same -- either retail or whitebox OEM. I've yet to have an issue with the former Symbios Logic 53c8xx/1xxx products or LSI solutions under Linux. If you have an OEM or integrator providing you solutions, especially if you have a SLA with them, then by all means, use what they will support. Otherwise I tend to prefer Symbios/LSI products. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Does anyone have any good or bad driver/performance/stability experiences with either: LSI Logic LSIU320 Adaptec 29320ALP-R or (or other current boards using the same driver) in Opteron servers running RHEL 4 or CentOS 4, x86_64? Thanks in advance. -- Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened

Web Proxy/Monitoring Software?
by Scott Sharkey 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Hi All, I have a need for a service or software that will monitor and track outbound HTTP (web) accesses, and report what pages are being visited. I know that Squid theoretically can do this, but it seems like overkill for this application. The user could care less about caching - they just want to monitor what URL's their staff is visiting. IS squid the best option, or is there something else that would do a better job? Part of my concern is that the machine they have to run this on does not have a huge amount of memory, and I understand Squid can be a memory hog. Thanks!!! -Scott

Considering that it's > utilized in numerous universities and government organizations around > the world, I would say it's definitely production grade software. Just know that I've seen NsDS deployed in 10,000+ node networks going back to the late '90s. I don't think people realize what deal the community has gotten thanx to yet another Red Hat purchase released, as always, 100% GPL. OpenLDAP wasn't cutting it IMHO, and Red Hat refuses to offer solutions that aren't GPL. Hence why they came to an arrangement with AOL to see NsDS GPL'd after they "gave up" on OpenLDAP. -- Bryan J.

NsDS has been more "production ready" than OpenLDAP ever has IMHO. And yes, it runs on even non-Linux platforms (e.g., Solaris), so I'd say it runs on just about any Linux platform. Integration considerations might be another, more involved detail though. -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith@ieee.org

Re: sendmail and spamassassin
by James B. Byrne 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Thanks for all of the advice. I was afraid that I would have to add some sort of glue application to tie the two together. We run MailScanner with Sendmail, DCC, Razor and SA on the final delivery machines but I was hoping to have a frontend filter with a somewhat simpler setup from a maintenance point of view. I have installed amavisd (from Dag Wieers repo.) on one of our MX machines for testing purposes and if, as I anticipate, I have further questions then I will be back. Actually, I have one. The setup documentation refers to a duel sendmail setup. Will the default install work with one sendmail instance? If I have to set up two then I might as well go the whole MailScaner route.

28 Jun '05

Installing the Centos 4 release onto a supermicro server with the Adaptec 2015S card (channel 0) but unable to find the hard drives even after loading the Adaptec 79** series driver? Centos 3 loads without issues. Has anyone had similar problems? regards Jon ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

sendmail and spamassassin
by James B. Byrne 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

I have a problem getting spamd and sendmail (both stock CentOS4 rpms) to work together on a couple of smtp relay machines. This is clearly a configuration issue and no doubt revolves around my lack of comprehension of how this is to work. Basically, the setup consists of two frontend public smtp transports that redirect all email through a firewall to an internal imap server for final delivery. The firewall and sendmail access map prohibit connections to the imap server except for the local MX gateway. The external MX gateway is a fallback mx server that routes everything it queues through the primary gateway. So: MX 2 routes to MX 1 that routes to IMAP MX 2 and MX 1 are running spamd. the sendmail.m4 file has the following at its very end: dnl # dnl # MAILERs are always last after all FEATURES are defined MAILER(smtp)dnl MAILER(procmail)dnl The contents of /etc/procmailrc are: :0fw | /usr/bin/spamassassin Spamd is running on both. There is a local configuration rule set in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf Passing a test message through spamc on MX 1 or MX 2 does not seem to pick up this rule even for messages constructed to trigger it. Passing spam messages through spamc -R identifies messages that have passed through the relays without any spam tags as being high scoring spam. What am I doing wrong?

Adaptec Host Raid
by Sugianto Yonatha 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Hi All, I need to install CentOS 4.0 x86_64 using Adaptec ASC-29320A with HostRAID enabled, but it seems my card isn't recognized. I've tried to install the hardware using driver downloaded for RHEL 4.0 from the Adaptec Website, but still it's unrecognized. P.S. I'm able to install RedHat 9.0 using this card before. Is there anyone have any solution for this? Thanks and Regards, Sugianto Y.
