Any one have a good example...

...of a shell script for rsync that won't start again if it is already running? I thought of using a lock file, but what if it is killed mid script or bombs? -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!

centosplus kernel packages and compiler versions
by Bart Schaefer 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I just installed the updated kernel packages for centos 4.4 from the centosplus repository. When I run vmware-config.pl to rebuild the vmware modules, it warns me that the kernel was compiled with gcc 3.4.6, whereas my compiler is gcc 3.4.5, and recommends that I not rebuild the modules unless I have exactly the same compiler version. I ignored this and built the modules anyway and they work fine, but why are the plus kernels not built with the stock centos4 compiler suite?

I guess there's not a hugemem version for 64-bit, so I'll just go with kernel-smp. I forgot about that minor detail. Most of my machines are only 32-bit. -- Bowie

VSFTPD problem ?
by Denis Croombs 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I have 1 Centos server V4.x already running VSFTPD and when the user logs in they get chrooted to the home directory, I have installed the same config files to a second server (again Centos V4.x) and have setup the same user on the second server but the user does not get chrooted to the home directory but is placed in /var/ftp/pub and cannot upload file. The files I copied are:- /etc/vsftpd.user_list /etc/vsftpd /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf /etc/vsftpd.ftpusers /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list Any clues ? Thanks Denis

Which kernel package?
by Bowie Bailey 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I am building a new system which will have a pair of dual-core Opterons and 16GB memory. Should I use kernel-smp or kernel-hugemem? I see that RH recommends the hugemem kernel if you have more than 16GB (and we may upgrade at some point, the MB supports 32GB). Any comments on this? The only difference that the descriptions show is the 4GB/4GB split with the hugemem kernel and I'm not quite clear on what that does. -- Bowie

question on lokkit
by Jerry Geis 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I am wanting to pass arguments to lokkit to set up the iptables config file with an entry like this: ( i dont want to manually edit it - I want to do it automatically) iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 10000:20000 -j ACCEPT I have a small script file that has in it the ports I want enabled, like: ------------------- PORT_SSH="--port=22:tcp" PORT_HTTP="--port=http:tcp" /usr/sbin/lokkit -q --high --dhcp -t lo -t eth0 -t eth1 $PORT_SSH $PORT_HTTP ------------------- I want to add another line to enable ports 10000 - 20000. however the ":tdp" or ":udp" conflict with 10000:20000. I tried useing something like "10000,20000:udp" but did not work. THanks for any suggestions. Jerry

32bit versus 64bit memory usage?
by Christian Nygaard 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

I'm planning for new Centos 4 computers using the 64bit distribution and is wondering if there is a difference on how much RAM memory you should use on a 32bit versus 64bit operating system? Will processes such as for example KDE, Firefox use more memory on the 64bit architecture than on the 32bit and if so by how much as a rule of thumb? Kind regards, Christian

web based mail packages for CentOS
by James Marcinek 29 Aug '06

29 Aug '06

Hello Everyone, I was using OpenGroupware but just hosed my system. Since I'm starting from scratch I would like to know what everyone's using for web based mail. I currently implemented cyrus-imapd and postfix which I used before. I was going to give dovecot a try but it wouldn't start even though it was supposed to be easier. I would like to move my postfix to a chroot but have never done a chroot so I would appreciate any examples. Also how to get spamassassin working or any alternatives. I have the mail server up and can access email with a client so I guess it's up. Thanks, James BTW - I'm running the latest CentOS distro
