Scan to email
by Joseph L. Casale 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Anyone done this w/ Linux before? Not having ever used this functionality, I can only speculate but I have been asked to setup an MFP such that when you scan to email, it hits a postfix instance which rewrites the email (so it can be typed short) and sends it on to our email-fax service. It seemed simple, so long as I get an MFP that supports emailing from its console as all the cheap mfps's I know of require some lame app that usually only runs on windows. It all seems simple enough, pending I get the appropriate mfp? Anyone done this with an Ethernet based unit that can share an opinion? The postfix rewriting part seems simple enough! Thanks! jlc

Any ETA on 5.4?
by John Plemons 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

I can wait, I just have a project coming up and am planning. I remember seeing a post a couple of weeks back that RedHat 5.4 was released and at that time a couple of weeks was thrown out for Centos 5.4 being released. Are we still on schedule? Thank you,, John Plemons

Removing xorg stuff
by Bob Hoffman 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Starting to clean out my server. I use command line only. Even though I tried not to install the gnome and x, a lot of stuff did install anyway. In testing the removal process I find I cannot use yum remove due to losing to many programs due to dependency. Trying to remove via rpm -e is nigh impossible as it appears to be an unknown chain of dependencies separate from the ones using yum that block any way of deleting it. I am thinking to do a rpm -e and then trying to take out all the dependent ones.. However..I am not sure about taking out X since so many items were installed with the system and maybe some are needed? It is obvious that I need to do one or a few files at a time since I can find no way to take out the whole xorg package as of yet. My big fear....is X needed in some way by my server in ways I do not know? I use it as a webserver and shell in with no graphic interface stuff except those like system-level-security and such... No many x installed items deal with lvm and such...scary

Antispam with Postfix
by Joseph L. Casale 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

I am mulling over the thought of replacing my current solution, it works very well except for the following two issues: 1. LDAP recip verification for only one server, this gateway services multiple domains who's directories are independent. I need to be able to verify the various domains off of independent servers. 2. I use backup mx's, my current solution probably could work in this scenario but the support mechanism behind it is *very* weak and I can't get a perfect setup working. Spam hits the primary for a domain, gets blocked and then tries my secondary which sometimes accepts it, after which the primary always accepts from the secondary. What are some setups that use Postfix which you guys are having very good success with that isn't a burden to administer. The last thing I want to do is replace my one single app with many:) Thanks for any ideas! jlc

Slow printing to HP jetdirect from cups
by Bowie Bailey 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

I've googled for this and poked around linuxprinting.org, but couldn't find anything helpful. I have a CentOS 5 server with an HP LaserJet 4 attached via JetDirect with the hplip driver. The problem is that when I have multiple print jobs in the queue, there is a delay of about 15 seconds between each job. This gets very annoying when there are 10-15 one-page jobs in the queue. "lpstat -t" shows me errors like this: recoverable: Network host 'seashell' is busy; will retry in 15 seconds... This worked fine previously with the same setup on an old RedHat release (Either RH7 or RH9, I don't remember which). The problem appeared after I rebuilt the server with CentOS 5. Any ideas would be appreciated. -- Bowie

Hi All, If I put a 1TB HD in my server (because they are on sale this week), can I later Mirror to a second 1TB drive without destroying the data on the first? On Windows and OS X, I know I can't do this... Thoughts? -ML

Script consumes memory
by Frank M. Ramaekers 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

I have the following script that when executed, consumes memory and makes the system inaccessible. All process are halted. First, I don't understand what is wrong with the script Secondly, I'm surprised that Linux allows this to run unchecked to the detriment of the entire system. ---- SCRIPT ----- #!/bin/sh FTP="/usr/bin/ftp" # VMID="asystem.ourcompany.com" VMUser="STATDASD" VMPass="STATDASD" VMDir="VMSYSA:." DataFile="data.txt" VMFile="DS8100.DATA" #--- Get some information about me #--work from the same directory as the script MYSCRIPT=`$BASENAME $0` MYSCRIPTDIR=`$DIRNAME $0` if [ $MYSCRIPTDIR != "." ] then cd $MYSCRIPTDIR fi #--- FTP to MAINT on mkmfvm $FTP -vn <<$$EOD open $VMID user $VMUser $VMPass cd $VMDir ascii put $DataFile $VMFile bye $$EOD Frank M.
