log rotation not working
by David Mehler 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

Hello, I've got a Centos 5.4 box that is not rotating it's mail logs. I just found out about this, the file is considerably large. I've included my log rotation configs if anyone has any suggestions i'm open to them. Thanks. Dave. /etc/rsyslog.conf: # Log all kernel messages to the console. # Logging much else clutters up the screen. #kern.* /dev/console # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! # don't log clamd messages *.info;ftp.none;clamd.none;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages # The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* /var/log/maillog # Log cron stuff cron.* /var/log/cron # Everybody gets emergency messages *.emerg * # Save news errors of level crit and higher in a special file. #uucp,news.crit /var/log/spooler # Save boot messages also to boot.log local7.* /var/log/boot.log # log ftp stuff separately ftp.* /var/log/ftp.log /etc/logrotate.d/syslog: /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron { sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } logrotate.conf: # see "man logrotate" for details # rotate log files weekly weekly # keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs rotate 4 # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones create # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed compress # RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory include /etc/logrotate.d # no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here /var/log/wtmp { monthly minsize 1M create 0664 root utmp rotate 1 } # system-specific logs may be also be configured here.

Hi I have question about https I am using mozila to access gmail as https://mail.google.com/mail Why mozilla prompts me the alert box? "You have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information. Information that you see or enter on this page could easily be read by a third party." How mozilla knows I have data not encrypted? ls https secured? Thank you Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

Kernel Panic with wl.ko (Broadcom wireless driver) [CentOS 5.4]
by Martin Jungowski 14 Mar '10

14 Mar '10

Been experimenting with CentOS 5.4 some more. In order to get my wireless card to work (Broadcom BCM4311) I need Broadcom's wl.ko driver (http:// www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php) It compiles fine after the necessary modification in typedef.h, loads and wireless works. However, as soon as I put some load on that interface (scp something from another machine, download something with Firefox, etc.) the machine kernel panics. I've tried the stock 2.6.18 kernel, the latest 2.6.18-164-11, and the latest patched 2.6.18-164-11-bug4139.4192.4196 (necessary to get my ALPS touchpad to work). I've tried two different versions of Broadcom's driver: 5.10.79.10 and 5.60.48.36. It doesn't kernel panic when I unload the wl kernel module, plug in a network cable and copy those files over ethernet. I downloaded the 2.6.27 kernel source and compiled my own kernel and it seems to work with that. However, for some weird reason, with any given self-compiled kernel (tried 2.6.18-8, 2.6.25 and 2.6.27) klaptop won't allow me to configure any standby/hibernation options because it doesn't recognize any of them. They do work perfectly fine though, I can pm- suspend the laptop from command-line. Any idea what else I could do? Either getting wl.ko to work with 2.6.18 (does somebody have a version older than 5.10.79.10 that they could email me?) or getting klaptop to realize that the laptop does indeed know how th suspend and hibernate with a non-CentOS-kernel would be fine.

mailman on CentOS with multiple virtual hosts
by David Mehler 13 Mar '10

13 Mar '10

Hello, This isn't exactly CentOS specific, but it does reference the CentOS way of doing things, so offlist replies might be better. I'm running a CentOS 5.4 server with postfix as MTA with virtual mailbox domains. I have set up a mailing list server lists.example1.com using apache virtual hosts and the mailman rpm. Now i want to add a second one call it lists.example2.com and am not sure how to pull this off. If anyone has a multiple virtual host setup i'd be interested. Thanks. Dave.

Hi, Does anyone know how I can monitor our server's for blacklisting? We run a large amount of shared hosting & reseller hosting servers and from time to time one of the IP's will get blacklisted. I'm looking for a way to be notified if any of our IP's get blacklisted. Is this possible? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532
