But I did some reading, looked at things,... and do have an extensive *general* background. So there's probably some other piece of the puzzle that's not right or is different. There's lots of experienced folks here though. I bet if you posted in the form of some background, a starting description of the pertinent components in your setup, snippets of logs, etc. they would jump in and help. At least, that's been my observation. Fridays may be the exception though. I'll also try and help, within my limits. Bill, Thanks for the offer of help! Time is short. It's going to take me about an hour to write up a SMTP email injection script - barring any crazy interruptions. Trying to tackle sendmail will take much longer, time I just don't have right now. Once the script is done, I'll gladly post it to the list for others to use... I find it hard to believe though that no one else has created a script like this. Using Krugle didn't turn up much...

libdbi-ruby now?
by Steve Bergman 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

Ruby 1.8.4 from the c4 testing repo is doing fine so far. But now I need libdbi-ruby. I don't see that in any of my usual repos or in c4 testing and it does not seem to be rubygem'able. Any pointers? Thanks, Steve

Well, it may just work for some, but not for others - I'm sure I'm not alone in sendmail not 'just working'. Using sendmail/postfix/qmail to send simple email from cronjobs is like using a jackhammer to drive finishing nails. Why go through all that hassle of sendmail and it's near daily security problems for such a simple task? My network has mixed CentOS and Gentoo systems, with the Gentoo systems not having sendmail installed. Installing sendmail on those systems would take far more time then coming up with a simple script to do what I need. Take into account running another binary, it's just another service taking up resources that doesn't have to be used. Mark

Ruby 1.8.2 or 1.8.4?
by Steve Bergman 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

I'm wanting to run Ruby on Rails and I want to do it the cleanest way possible. I don't mind using the rubygems package management for the Rails related dependencies. But Ruby itself, to my knowledge, cannot be installed as a gem. CentOS 4.3 uses Ruby 1.8.1. Rails requires 1.8.2 or 1.8.4. Neither Dag nor CentOSPlus have a later version for RHEL. What's my best bet? An SRPM for a later version of Fedora? -Steve

OpenLDAP rules
by Cleber P. de Souza 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

Hi list. Maybe this could be off-topic but here I think many have used OpenLDAP to unify yours authentication needs, allowing an unique username and password for all the corporate applications. My doubt is, which rules do you use to split all the user levels so that one user could be allowed to access app A but isn't allowed to access app B (think this about many apps)? Have you been using OU's to split user by app and copying them to each app that them must access? Using posix groups and filtering users by filters on each app? Thanks by the help. -- Cleber P. de Souza
