Specify sending machine from mailx command line?
by Steve Snyder 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

When using "mail" (from the mailx package) to send mail from the command line, can I specify the sending system name? I want to mail the occasional status message to my personal e-mail account from a server machine. Something like this: echo "New IP address: $new_ip_address" | \ mail -s "DHCP - $interface addr change" myname(a)myisp.com When I attempt to send mail from machine server.mydomain.lan my ISP sees incoming mail from "localhost.mydomain.lan [127.0.0.1]" and bounces it as being blacklisted. Is there a way to submit an acceptable name to my ISP's mail server from command line e-mail? Thanks.

Hello > Have a look at /proc/net/bonding/bond0 Here it is...seems like it's only fault tolerant. I'll be tweaking with the modes like Robin suggested. Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v2.6.1 (October 29, 2004) Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup) Primary Slave: None Currently Active Slave: eth0 MII Status: up MII Polling Interval (ms): 100 Up Delay (ms): 0 Down Delay (ms): 0 Slave Interface: eth0 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 1 Permanent HW addr: 00:15:60:ad:a0:8a Slave Interface: eth1 MII Status: up Link Failure Count: 1 Permanent HW addr: 00:15:60:ad:a0:89 Nassri

su, context(selinux?) 2nd prompt
by Rex Dieter 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

With a recent update of CentOS4, su's behavior has changed, in that after prompting for password, also prompts for (selinux?) context. I'm seeing something like: $ su Password: Your default context is root:system_r:unconfined_t. Do you want to choose a different one? [n] kde's kdesu barfs on this second prompt. Any way to disable this second prompt? -- Rex

Jim, Not really, the couple pieces of hardware that I have actually work fine with centos 4.2 - however - when I then want to connect something out of the ordinary like a monitor that does 1366x768 it is not supported in the current driver. My other monitor problem was the driver freezing up. New card will take care of that. Thanks, Jerry

Hello Robin, > Add this line to the /etc/sysconfig/network > > VLAN=yes Done. Tested both interfaces & failover works nice. Thanks ! How do I check that both interfaces are working binded together ? Regards, Nassri

X11 build
by Jerry Geis 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

Morning... I have a package that I think wants to compile against the X11 source tree. http://openchrome.org - its a snapshot from there.... Anyway the command it tells me to run is: xmkmf /usr/src/xc make make install This is to build a updated X graphics driver... However when I do this I get errors as there is not /usr/src/xc (no surprise) I did then "up2date xorg-x11-sdk" however now I dont know where the "xc" directory might be. Have I not done the right steps yet? Thanks for any suggestions. Jerry
