Maildir Cleanup
by Jun Salen 03 Feb '07

03 Feb '07

Hi all, I found an article (with python script) on how to clean up Maildir folder for old email messages from http://www.ducea.com/2006/11/25/cleanup-maildir-folders-archive-delete-old-… . As I understand, this will be run by each user after login. How can I make this runs at least once a month and delete all users message with age more than one month for example using crontab? I am using Postfix, MailScanner, SpamAssassin, Courier IMAP/POP3, ClamAV and CentOS4.4 as mail server. If you need further input, please just let me know. Thanks in advance for help. Thanks. junji linux registered user #253162 Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

broadcom 802.3ad
by Gordon McLellan 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Does anyone have some tips for setting up Broadcom's 802.3AD support or just getting their driver compiled / installed? First off, I noticed redhat claims the broadcom bcm5708 driver has been added to the rhel4 kernel. But I don't see /proc/net/nicinfo which broadcom claims the driver creates when it's successfully initialized. So, I'm trying to build the driver based on the source files downloaded from Broadcom: I downloaded their source rpm, installed it and now trying to build a binary rpm (pwd is /usr/src/redhat) # rpmbuild -bb SPECS/bnx2.spec it starts off OK, and then bombs make -C SUBDIRS=/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bnx2-1.4.43b modules make: *** SUBDIRS=/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/bnx2-1.4.43b: No such file or directory. Stop. make: *** [default] Error 2 but the directory it's complaining about does indeed exist Here's the output from dmesg regarding my card Broadcom NetXtreme II Gigabit Ethernet Driver bnx2 v1.4.38 (February 10, 2006) ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:09:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0 eth0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2) PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz found at mem f4000000, IRQ 169, node addr 00188b4ea2b3 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:05:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 divert: allocating divert_blk for eth1 eth1: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2) PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz found at mem f8000000, IRQ 169, node addr 00188b4ea2b1 Any input is welcomed! -Gordon

firefox 2.0
by Jerry Geis 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Has anyone downloaded firefox 2.0 and tried it? I just did. I am very confused. I download the firefox-2.0.tar.gz Untared it and the readme.txt was one sentence. nothing useful. There is no install**** anything. The URL the readme.txt mentions to the release notes, does have a "install" link, but it doesnt say anything about actually installing. All it says in one sentence is "install firefox 2 will overwrite your existing install". I am stuck.... Has anyone else installed firefox 2 and can share. I know there is seamonkey now but it is broken for the functionality I need. I was hoping it is fixed in firefox 2.0. Thanks, Jerry

OT using apples bonjour for zero network config devices
by Jerry Geis 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

All, Apple has released an open source zero config dns application http://developer.apple.com/opensource/internet/bonjour.html Has anyone used this on centos? I am trying and I cant figure out how to have it provide me with a list of all devices that will respond to port 80 as an example. Or simple a list of all devices on the network that respond would be ok even. Anyone used this tool and know how to do that? Or better yet any native centos commands I'm not aware of? Jerry

tool to manage a PKI
by Pierre Bourgin 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Hello, this is a little bit off-topic (even if it have to work on CentOS ;-) I'm looking for a tool to manage a small Public Key Infrastructure, with creation/revocation of certificates X.509, export in PKCS#12 format and have the ability to handle CSR (Certificate Signing Request). I've wrote my own script to perform it (openssl command line based): it's a good way to underdstand concepts, but a little bit difficult to maintain and extend... After googling a bit, I found PHPki (http://www.sf.net/projects/phpki/), that is nicely web-based (php) but unfortunately, It does not handle CSR. What tool do you use to manage your PKI ? Thanks for your comments, clue or advices. Pierre Bourgin

Default router on different subnet - Is it possible?
by Plant, Dean 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

In the below example normal Internet traffic is routed as shown from node1 to internet1. The node1 defaultrouter points to the firewall and the firewall points to internet1. For node2 is it possible to add it's own link to the Internet passing through the same default router and firewall as node1. The links do not need to failover or provide any redundancy. node1---node1 defaultrouter--firewall--internet1(default route node1) node2--/ \-internet2(default route node2) I know a default route should be on the same local subnet but is there any routing trickery (or maybe iptables) I can do on node2 to get around this. Thanks Dean
