Cyrus IMAP and ipurge
by Spiro Harvey 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Anyone here familiar with Cyrus IMAP and its util ipurge? We'd like to set auto deletion of our users' spambox folders, but I'm a bit paranoid about its functionality. The main things that confuse me are from the man page: "Ipurge deletes messages from the mailbox(es) specified by mailbox-pattern" with no indication as to what defines "mailbox-pattern" Second: "Ipurge by default only deletes mail below shared folders, which means that mails in mail- box(es) below INBOX.* and user.* stay untouched. Use the option -f to also delete mail in mailbox(es) below these folders." What's a "shared folder"? OK, so the format of a Junk mail folder is: user/spiro/Junk(a)knossos.net.nz and I've successfully done: $ ipurge -f -d 90 user/spiro/Junk(a)knossos.net.nz Working on user/spiro/Junk(a)knossos.net.nz... total messages 21 total bytes 187742 Deleted messages 16 Deleted bytes 138324 Remaining messages 5 Remaining bytes 49418 however, without the -f, it did nothing, even though I was explicitly supplying a folder. Clearly I misunderstand what the man page is trying to tell me. I'd like to set up a proper "pattern" to purge all spamboxes correctly via the cyrus.conf, because at the moment, I've got an awk script that generates a list of email addresses and produces a list in the format of user/userid/Junk@domain. I could then go over that list and run an ipurge for each one, but if anything happens that causes that list to be corrupted, I'm afraid of deleting the wrong mail. or worse. :( according to what I've gathered, the line: purgespam cmd="ipurge -f -d 90 user/%/Junk@*" at=0430 should work when put in cyrus.conf's Events section, but I can't confirm these wildcards. Some results on google just refer to * for the mailbox name, but none seem to include the domain as part of the string. Can anyone here shed some light? -- Spiro Harvey Knossos Networks Ltd 021-295-1923 www.knossos.net.nz

x86_64 CentOS 5.3 Users - Library Issue
by Justin Bull 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hello, I need to conduct a little research. Anyone who is running CentOS 5.3 x86_64 please run the following: # yum install libxml2-devel # nm /usr/lib64/libxml2.a | grep xmlXPathContextSetCache If my suspicions are correct, if you run cPanel/WHM you will not see any output and if without cPanel/WHM you'll see something similar to this: 00000000000023a0 T xmlXPathContextSetCache Thanks for your time and help. -- Best Regards, Justin Bull http://www.sohipitmhz.com/pubkey.txt (Public Key)

CentOS security advisories
by Joshua Bahnsen 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

I have been looking at the security advisories provided here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/ It appears that there is not a 1:1 correlation between advisories listed here and advisories listed by Red Hat: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata Is there a specific reason for this? Also, is there an alternate location to find all Errata information for CentOS? Joshua Bahnsen

Yeah, I had asked yum to install nvidia-x11-drv, then later when I explicitly tried to install dkms-nvidia-x11-drv it had already auto-updated and yum reported nothing to do. Maybe not completely idiot-proof, but the score is yum 1 idiots 0 on this court today. Dave

Re: [CentOS] hostname changes
by Bob Hoffman 17 Jun '09

>How do I change the hostname? >In particular, what is the difference between /etc/hosts and >/etc/sysconfig/network files? > Where should I make the changes? change /etc/sysconfig/netowrk and make the hostname=server.domain.com change localhostnames add the new hostname to the file change etc/hosts xx.xx.xx.xx server.domain.com server restart the computer. You need to do this. Yes, you need to restart/reboot it. then run these commands. (assumes your hostname is mail.example.com) if any of these do not jibe, more to do until you get it right. shell prompt> uname -n mail.example.com shell prompt> hostname -s mail shell prompt> hostname -d example.com shell prompt> hostname -f mail.example.com shell prompt> hostname mail.example.com Lastly, you need to redo your certifercates for your computer since they (your openssh and maybe some others) are set up for the previous domain. In actual practice you may seldom see any issues with this, but the error messages will appear for some users trying to access different things.... Also, if you have stuff like logwatch or other system things going to a local mail make sure spamassassin or procmail rules are updated to deal with the change in localhost.localdomain so they are not junked. Always make sure the normal things you are used to are still happening or being received after you change the hostname....many things can be affected, slightly or more, when doing it. Nothing usually server breaking. This should do you well

Re: [CentOS] OT - Tomcat CLASSPATH issue

From the same version of Apache-Tomcat (6.0.18) web.xml config file:     You are setting CLASSPATH as an OS environment variable. Tomcat wants/has it's own and you set it within the engine, or let the engine take care of it for you. Cheers, Glenn

which programming language for server-side admin tasks
by Rudi Ahlers 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hi, I would like to spend some time learning a new coding language, but specifically for server side admin stuff, i.e. setting up users / databases / FTP accounts / virtual domains on Apache, etc. I already know PHP, but realize it's not quite suited for this kind of admin, and I suppose I need to look @ PERL / Python / C++ / Ruby? / others? Can someone give me some pointers on this? I basically need to write a control panel, with web access for admins to manage servers, similar to what cPanel / WebMin / Plesk / etc does right now, but something more customized for our needs. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
