Dovecot GUI
by Timothy Murphy 07 Mar '12

07 Mar '12

Is there a web-interface to dovecot under CentOS-6? I want to create a top-level folder (ie at the same level as Inbox) but this doesn't seem to be possible from KMail running on a remote Fedora-6 laptop. I was browsing through the dovecot wiki, and I saw some pictures which seemed to be from a dovecot GUI, but I could not find the name of this program. Alternatively, can I simply create the folder I want on the CentOS dovecot server? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

cron job not running
by Tim Dunphy 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

hello list, I am attempting to backup a centos 5.4 (x86_64) server running mysql with a cron job. Here's how the cron job looks: [root@cloud:/home/bluethundr/backupdb] #crontab -l * 3 * * * /usr/bin/mysqldump jfwiki > /home/bluethundr/backupdb/wiki-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql However if I run the command from the command line it seems to work fine. If I grep syslog for cron this is what I've found: Mar 4 22:12:13 domU-12-31-38-07-49-CC syslog-ng[1174]: Log statistics; processed='center(queued)=16141', processed='center(received)=16141', processed='destination(d_boot)=0', processed='destination(d_auth)=3', processed='destination(d_cron)=131', processed='destination(d_mlal)=0', processed='destination(d_kern)=0', processed='destination(d_mesg)=200', processed='destination(d_cons)=0', processed='destination(d_spol)=0', processed='destination(d_mail)=15807', processed='source(s_sys)=16141' I've tried bouncing the crond service but even if I set the cron job to run every minute the backups don't run. I was hoping someone out there might have some advice n how to solve this problem. thanks -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

NFS Selinux issues
by Bradley Leonard 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

I'm having a strange problem with selinux and the mounting of a nfs directory. I'm specifying the security context as part of the mount command, yet the security context still shows nfs. The mount shows what the security context should be: [root@clienthost ~]# mount serverhost:/usr/local on /usr/local type nfs4 (rw,context="system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0",hard,intr,addr=serverhost,clientaddr=clienthost) yet the directory permissions show the security context of nfs: [root@clienthost ~]# ls -dZ /usr/local drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 /usr/local My /etc/fstab entry is: serverhost:/usr/local /usr/local nfs context=system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0,rw,hard,intr 0 0 This is causing some issues with some of my scripts. Both the client and server are 6.2 servers. The client is a virtual image running on the server. The only clue that i have is system logger shows: Mar 6 13:44:39 clienthost kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev 0:14, type nfs4), uses genfs_contexts Mar 6 13:44:39 clienthost kernel: SELinux: initialized (dev 0:15, type nfs4), uses genfs_contexts I can't find any errors anywhere else on either my client or server. There is nothing in the audit logs on either host. Does anybody have any ideas?

restrict postfix to only certain users getting incoming mail
by Bob Hoffman 06 Mar '12

06 Mar '12

Perhaps I am trying to do the impossible. centos6, spamassassin, procmail, dovecot, postfix. Postfix, by default, accepts all incoming mail to any user listed in the shadow/passwd and alias files. I cannot find a way to stop that without manually blocking each non wanted user (like nobody, apache) without killing local delivery. For most of the users listed in those files, who cares. However for one, root, this is a massive issue. Root gets a lot of mail from errors on the system. Preventing local delivery (or through the alias file, delivery through root to another user) makes root never receive those important mails. Not preventing root from incoming mails means root(a)example.com can be slammed with spam. Local and external mail all seem to go through all of the programs (postfix, procmail, spamassassin, dovecot). Local delivery of mails is needed for root. What I would like is to just tell postfix to only allow incoming mail for user1 and user2 and reject all...but only from external sources, not locally sent mail. Postfix does seem to allow you to limit who can send mail out of the server though... I have 2 books on postfix here and spent many days online but I do not see the solution short of /dev/null or reject of all mail, local or external, of root. perplexed.

routing and virtual machines: how to access dmz if bridged to two networks
by Peter Peltonen 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

I am not quite sure if this issue relates to iptables, routing or Xen virtual machines. Too many variables for my simple mind, so I'm asking some advice :) This is my network setup: Internet --- eth2 + CentOS dom0 / firewall / router + eth1 (xenbr1) --- LAN with private IPs --- separate file server and workstations + eth0 (xenbr0) | DMZ network with public IPs --- CentOS6 domU web server Lets assume my dom0's eth2 public ip is 1.2.3.33 and my dmz network 11.22.33.96/255.255.255.224 . I have created NAT from my LAN with iptables. You can see my /etc/sysconfig/iptables here: http://pastebin.com/1FqSTvPH And this is my routing table: # route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 1.2.3.32 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0 0 0 eth2 11.22.33.96 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 0 xenbr0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 xenbr1 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1004 0 0 eth2 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1005 0 0 xenbr0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1006 0 0 xenbr1 0.0.0.0 1.2.3.34 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth2 My goal: To access NFS shares on a (non-virtualized) file server in the LAN network from the domU web server in the DMZ network. What I tried: I attached the domU to both bridges using this Xen config: vif = [ "mac=00:0c:29:de:3a:fe,bridge=xenbr0","mac=00:0C:29:76:19:85,bridge=xenbr1" ] and then created two eth interfaces inside the domU mapping to the MAC addresses above, giving eth1 an IP from the DMZ (11.22.33.111) and giving eth2 an IP from the LAN (192.168.0.12). After this I mounted the NFS share from the file server (192.168.0.2). My problem: If my domU web server is connected to both LAN and DMZ using the two bridges xenbr0 and xenbr1, I can access the NFS share from the domU web server and everything else works as expected, except for one thing -- my workstations in the LAN cannot anymore access the web server: web pages do not open anymore and from the workstations I cannot ping the domU. If the web server domU is only connected to DMZ via xenbr0, the workstations can access it ok. Any advice what I am doing wrong and I could fix my setup? Regards, Peter

whcih mailing list for mail server issue?
by Bob Hoffman 05 Mar '12

05 Mar '12

Hello, First of all, thanks for the yum-cron config location, did not see that there. That helped get my yum updates to my root user folder. Second, I am not sure where to go with this one. I want to block emails coming in to the server to root@, etc. But not block the cron jobs (and other internal server setups) that send mail to root to be blocked. I am using postfix/dovecot,spamassassin, and procmail. The file from the logwatch is going through the spamassassin so I figure all 4 are going to deal with any internal and external mail sent to root. I can't see a way to say 'stop incoming mails to root' without killing the internal mail delivery use. In fact, I would really like only a few specified users to get incoming mail period, but allow all internal mail to do as it should. Which mailing list should I hit up. Dovecot does the delivery but is totally hooked up with postfix and the rest using maildir/. not sure where to go with this one.
