Disabling Spamassassin on outbound email
by John Hinton 11 May '09

11 May '09

Does anybody have a good method for disabling SA checks on outbound email under sendmail running the spamass milter? Some of our Vhost accounts are getting flagged as spam on the way out due to being on a dirty ISP network. John Hinton

alsamixer and multiple audio cards
by Marko Vojinovic 11 May '09

11 May '09

When I run kmix, there is a drop-down box in the upper right corner that lets me choose the audio device that kmix will be adjusting. If, however, I try to use alsamixer instead of kmix, there is only one (default) device that I can adjust. How can I tell to alsamixer that I want to adjust the volume of another card? And yes, this is related to my system-config-soundcard question... :-) Best, :-) Marko

Questions wrt system-config-soundcard
by Marko Vojinovic 11 May '09

11 May '09

1) What exactly happens when I press the "reload audio drivers" button? I want a command-line analogue, so that I can do it remotely, via ssh (and no X forwarding). 2) How to manually set the order of sound cards and the default one, again using only command line, as I would do in the GUI of system-config-soundcard? 3) Why don't the settings made there stick? I have three to four sound devices (two pci and one or two usb, depending on what is plugged in), and on every reboot cards tend to get shuffled and the wrong one is typically the default. 3) Is there maybe a system-config-soundcard-tui or something equivalent which would make my life easier and make the first two questions obsolete? 4) Why there is no man page for system-config-soundcard? I would really appreciate some help with this. CentOS 5.3, if it matters. Best, :-) Marko

Upgrade mail server to new machine
by Thom Paine 11 May '09

11 May '09

I have an old RHEL3 box that I am upgrading to CentOS5. I picked up a new Dell Poweredge R200 to use for that. Is there an easy way to copy all the user accounts and existing mail from the old server to the new one? Thanks. -- -=/>Thom

Hi, my yum update freezed on the mkinitrd (second time it happens in 5.3): Running Transaction Updating : kernel-headers [ 1/22] Updating : viewvc [ 2/22] Updating : sos [ 3/22] Installing : kernel-devel [ 4/22] Installing : kernel [ 5/22] S+ \_ /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/yum update S+ \_ /bin/sh /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.78758 2 S+ \_ /bin/bash /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 S+ \_ /bin/bash --norc /sbin/mkinitrd --allow-missing -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.img 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 S+ \_ /bin/bash --norc /sbin/mkinitrd --allow-missing -f /boot/initrd-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.img 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 D+ \_ lvm.static lvs --ignorelockingfailure --noheadings -o vg_name /dev/md1 I tried to strace the dead process but it did not show anything... I tried to kill it but failed. I interrupted yum but the lvm.static is still there... Any idea what could be happening? And why does it call lvm...? I don't use lvm, just software raid1. Thx, JD

How to run command as apache?
by Neil Aggarwal 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hello: I have a subversion repository set up in /usr/local/svn/MyProject. For security, I have that directory set to apache as the owner and group and all files are mode 700. I need to run a svnsync command as the apache user so it may write to the repository. I tried this command: su apache -c "/usr/bin/svnsync sync https://svn2.jammconsulting.com/svn/MyProject" But I get this message from the su command: This account is currently not available. I am guessing this happens because the apache account is set with no password and a nologin shell. How can I run a command as the apache user?

Best mobile SSH client?
by Sean Carolan 10 May '09

10 May '09

I'm up for a cell phone contract renewal and am considering upgrading my handset. I looked at some devices at my local AT&T store but nothing really jumped out at me. I'm particularly interested in a cell phone that has a reliable ssh client, with ssh-agent and public key authentication abilities. Those of you who administer systems remotely, what mobile ssh client do you recommend? What phone would you recommend?

Bash Script help...
by Jason Todd Slack-Moehrle 08 May '09

08 May '09

Hi All, I need to write a script that I will manually start (or a cron job in future) but I need it to do a number of things in order one after another. How do i do that so everything gets dont as the steps depend on each other. Example: cd /system_backups/ tar cvf apache-conf.tar /etc/httpd/conf/* gzip -v9 apache-conf.tar tar cvf apache-data.tar /var/www/* gzip -v9 apache-data.tar then last step... tar cvf <current_date>-system_backup.tar <all> the gzip files above gzip -v9 <current_date>-system_backup.tar scp <current_date>-system_backup.tar.gz user@10.0.0.1:/. etc...etc.... My questions: 1. How do I execute each statement and make sure subsequent statements are not executed until the previous is done? 2. How do I error check so if a step fails the script stops? 3. Since I run an SMTP Server on this box can I e-mail myself from bash the nightly results? 4. when I want to run the scp to send over the file to another machine for safety, how can I have it know the password to the machine I am scp'ing to? My mind is going crazy sort of with the things that I could do to protect myself in case of a system failure and making restoring easier. Can anyone provide insight for me? -Jason
