INN removed from CentOS 6
by Reynolds McClatchey 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

I use inn to make internal company announcements and discussions available to remote offices. I note inn is removed form RHEL 6. What replaces inn? http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Technical… Will inn be available from elsewhere? Will I have to compile it? Should I modify my scripts to create and install html files for a web server? That would make article deletion, archiving, and maintenance more difficult than it is with the inn nntp server. Is there some "forum" type package that would be better than the inn system? -- M Reynolds McClatchey Jr VP Engineering and Inventory Southern Aluminum Finishing Co Inc 404-355-1560 x222 Voice 1581 Huber St NW 404-350-0581 Fax Atlanta GA 30318

Here are the highlights and my comments to some of the suggestions that were provided, since I can't respond to every thread from the digest. The opinions both for and against OpenLDAP have made me take a little closer look at it, but my conclusion is that it is more cumbersome than what I really want to handle right now for the size of the network. I have looked closer at Samba/Wins/Winbind, etc. and it looks like the main source of my current problem is that my Samba network is setup now as a Workgroup and not as a Domain. I didn't understand that difference when I ran across the quote I included above. It looks like if I change to a Domain and configure it properly with Wins/Winbind that I should be able to have the single point password changing option occur from the Windows desktop. I am now re-reading sections of my copy of the Definitive Guide to Samba 3 which should help me (although it was published before Vista and 7, which all my workstations are now). Also thanks to some for the suggestions of using ClearOS or Webmin. I do have Webmin installed and use it for some of my administrative functions. So if I do try playing around with OpenLDAP I will certainly see if it will reduce my learning curve on getting it setup properly. With the new gateway box that I mentioned above, I have been planning on installing ClearOS on it, so I will take a look at how it might be used to learn about using LDAP. Although I was thinking to have this box function more strictly as a gateway than providing services to the internal lan. Jeff

slow sendmail going out
by Jerry Geis 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

I am trying to find a way to "speed" up sendmail going out of my box. I am setting SMART_HOST. Dont get me wrong email does go out it just takes like 3-4 minutes to get there. When I do "mail xxxx(a)y.com" and send it the /var/log/maillog file shows the connection and shows the relay as [127.0.0.1]. Then it just SITS there for a long time. Then it picks up the mail and delivers it. No errors are show, no timeouts etc... My box does not have an MX record as I am behind the firewall (192.168.1.X). I have set the /etc/sysconfig/sendmail QUEUE=1m but that does not seem to help either. There is nothing else happening on my box so that is not slowing anything down. I've done some google'ing, some playing and nothing has helped. I tried adding the service.switch to sendmail.mc, I tried temporarily taking out dns from nsswitch.conf - and nothing seemed to help. How can I get emails exiting my box faster. Jerry

Installing/configuring a second HD
by Todd Cary 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

My old server was Centos 4.8 and it is on a HD that is NOT connected. The new Centos 5.5 is the active HD. Everything appears to be working, so my intent is to jumper the old HD as a slave, wipe it clean and have it as a backup drive. Since my Linux skills are minimum, I thought it best to heck with the experts to find the best (safest) way to accomplish my goal. I assume that the old drive will auto-mount, however I am not sure if it will be identified as a separate due to the Volume system (I am not near my server at the moment and I cannot remember the exact name that is used for the HD configuration). I would notwant to format the drive and find out everything was formatted. Todd -- Ariste Software Petaluma, CA 94952 http://www.aristesoftware.com

rhel nfs bug with 5.5 - nfsd: blocked for more then 120 sec
by aurfalien＠gmail.com 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi all, I ran into this bug on my NFS server which is serving an XFS fs; https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=616833 It was suggested using bind mounts. My current fstab on my server is; /dev/sdc1 /SHARE xfs defaults,noatime,nodiratime,logbufs=8,uquota 1 2 Unsure how to integrate bind mounts in this scheme to see if I can avoid this bug until it is fixed. Any ideas? - aurf

cups drivers for printing pdf and tif
by Gregory P. Ennis 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

List, I updated a gateway/router computer with Centos 5.6 and lost the ability to print pdf and tif files with the command "lp -d printer img.tif" This new unit replaced a Fedora 5 system that had been working well, and is still able to print pdf and tif files withing the same network. I have other Centos 5.6 gateway's at different facilities that print the pdf and tif files without a problem. All of these 5.6 systems have been updated without a problem. hpijs-1.6.7-6.el5_6.1.x86_64 has already been installed. I am at a loss in trying to see the difference between my 5.6 machines and would appreciate some advice as to where to look. Thanks much for your help. Greg Ennis
