Hi There is a broken link in the documentation of CentOS 5.2. I was reading about e-mail and when you follow the link from POP (24.1.2.1 in Deployment guide) to IMAP, you got the following message: "Not Found The requested URL /docs/5/html/5.2/Deployment_Guide/s3-email-protocols-imap.html was not found on this server." Cheers Marcelo

Help with GSM or CDMA hardware on CentOS and SMSTools question please
by Carel Lubbe 26 Mar '09

Hi everyone, I would realy appreciate your help and guidense with a problem I have. Im trying to set up a SMS Gateway as a alert system for my network. Although the Aircard is picked up as a usb device and has a driver in the kernel, it does not have a /dev/XXX device name. So my question is how do I create this /dev/XXX device and make it persistent. I have installed CentOS as my base with smstools-3.0.10-4.el5.i386.rpm as my application. [root@odie ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.2 (Final) [root@odie ~]# uname -rvpi 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 12:03:43 EST 2008 i686 i386 [root@odie ~]# rpm -qa | grep smstools smstools-3.0.10-4.el5 The config file for this software looks like this [root@odie ~]# cat /etc/smsd.conf # Example smsd.conf.

CentOS won't shutdown ... or do anything else
by hadrian＠hushmail.com 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

I started to have problems similar to ones described in the past on this list but could not find any kind of resolution. I did an lsmod, a mount command, and for fun, did an strace on shutdown to see where it is hanging, and an ltrace as well. Any thoughts?

ISPConfig & local administration
by Sam Drinkard 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi list, I recently installed a package for Centos5.2 called ISPConfig. This was recommended by a buddy of mine who hosts a number of websites for various clients. Although I don't host any websites except my own, there were some features in the package that I did like the looks of. Well, today, I needed to add a new user and group, so while the machine was sitting here, I attempted to use the gui to adduser. For some reason, the process hung and never did come up. I called my buddy about that and he told me we ran through that same scenario with his machine some time back, but I had forgotten about it. The processes were shown in a ps ax as being ready to run, but again, nothing appeared on the monitor. I suspect the ispconfig somehow disables some of, if not all the built in adminstrative functions of the Centos gui, but hoped someone could prove / disprove this fact. It's rather irritating to go thru a manual user creation for me, as cli is not my strong point under Centos. I wound up using webmin to create the user and set the group for the gempak user, and then manually edited the list of allowed users in the gempak group. One thing of note, and not sure it even matters, but I got some messages like this... "Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0. Then, it wrote out the same thing for position 1 and position 2, with then a warning that python-dbus not installed. I do know there apparently is a difference in python-dbus and dbus-python. Thanks for any input.. Sam

freeradius version
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Hi All, The freeradius version in CentOS 5 is ancient, so I've been considering rebuilding the Fedora 10 rpm for freeradius-2.1.3 on CentOS. That means I'll have to maintain the package, and I'm not an uber packager. Normally I wouldn't care, but in this case I do because the freeradius server is going to be critical. So, should I rebuild the F10 rpm, or should I just stick with the version in CentOS 5? Based on what I'm reading, moving to a newer release would be wise. Regards, Ranbir -- Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu Linux 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux 11:37:20 up 19 days, 11:03, 4 users, load average: 0.17, 0.22, 0.18

looking for some advice to monitor network usage in office
by Rudi Ahlers 25 Mar '09

Hi all, I've been asked by a college to setup a monitor to monitor a Windows network, but on internet usage. They want to have detailed usage, i.e. on a per IP / PC basis, and if possible to get stats for every protocol, and see over a period of time what goes on. My first though wat ntop, which does all of this, but it doesn't save the data in a DB, so if the server reboots the stats are reset to 0. I also can't get Cacti to give me stats per IP & per protocol (unless someone knows how todo this). I don't yet know the full network layout, but I have a feeling they're using ADSL, and have a Windows Small Business server with ISA, and possible Exchange as well. So, I'm either going to put a CentOS box between the Windows box & ADSL router, or maybe even setup a CentOS Vmware Virtual PC, force all the network to route via the VPS. Does anyone have some suggestions / experience in setting up something like this? P.S. Please don't look at the fact that there's Windows on the network. I use Linux for business purposes, not as a hobby, and we also use Mac & Windows where the situation calls for it. -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers

Limiting maildir sizes with Postfix?
by Xn Nooby 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

I have a small Squirrelmail server, using Postfix & Dovecot. I am trying to limit the amount of mail a user can get. The "mailbox_size_limit" value does not seem to be being honored. I am using the Maildir directory format. >From googling, it appears that "mailbox_size_limit" applies to a single file (mbox format?), and that it does not work with Maildirs. Is this correct? How should I limit the Mailbox size of the users? I'm not very familiar with Linux "quotas", but I think that is my only other choice.
