nullmailer recommendations
by Gavin Carr 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Just wondering what people tend to use for nullmailers on their centos boxes (i.e. a minimal outgoing-only MTA)? I guess the obvious solution is a minimal postfix config, but that seems reasonably heavyweight and easy to misconfigure - is there anything lighter floating around the centos universe?

Unable to configure squid transparent proxy on Centos4.0
by ankush grover 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

hey friends, I am trying to configure Squid Transparent Proxy on Centos4.0. The eth0 is connected to the Internet and eth1 is for the LAN connection I am testing this scenario with 2 machines one machine (Centos4.0 ) on which squid is running and other machine which is debian is on the network 192.168.2.0. Centos4.0 eth0: 192.168.1.125/24 eth1: 192.168.2.126/24 Debian: eth0: 192.168.2.83/24 gateway: 192.168.2.126/24 (eth1 of Centos) Squid works fine if I manually add the proxy settings in any browser for the clients of network (192.168.1.0) but as I want to configure transparent proxy I have added these lines to squid.conf http_port 5678 httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on iptables configuration Only one rule is there iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 5678 I can access the LAN servers from the Debian machine but I am not able to access the internet. Any pointers what can be the problem ? Please let me know if you need any other inputs. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover

CentOS 4.3 (Final) : Booting Problem
by Ahmad Ridhwan Wahap 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hi all, I have a problem with my linux. I updated my CentOS 4.3 (Final) - the software I updated were freetype-2.1.9-1.rhel4.4, freetype-devel-2.1.9-1.rhel4.4, gimp-2.0.5-6:1, gnupg-1.2.6-5, libwmf-0.2.8.3-5.3, mutt-1.4.1-11.rhel4:5 and sendmail. Then I restarted my PC. While booting, the system stopped and issued a message "Could not recognize the image file format for file'/usr/share/gdm/themes/Default/background.png'. When I opened the log file, there was no report that I have made any update before. What should I do? Please help me. arw_opencv --------------------------------- Kini dengan simpanan sebanyak 1GB http://my.mail.yahoo.com/

slightly off topic - virtual PC options
by Jerry Geis 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

I have a this new AMD X2 4800+ x86_64 box that works great and runs centos 4.3 x86_64 like a champ. I have 4 old machines running slackware, redhat 7.3 and redhat 9 and centos 4.3 i386. I would like to take the image of the disk (or something else equivalent) and run some kind of i386 emulation on the X2 box so I can run those old images when I need to and scrap the 4 old boxes. Heat and noise be gone! I have see Xen, qemu, user mode linux, bochs etc... Have others tried to do something like I am trying, take images from older machines and run then on NEW iron? Are there suggested steps somewhere that I have not found? I have tried qemu but I cant boot the image. Just wondering if I am going about this is the right fashion? Thanks, Jerry

Intel VT-x & Xen
by Bill Baird 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hi All, Just curious if anyone is currently using Xen 3on any of the new Intel Xeon processors that support the VT-x extentions. With the VT-x (or AMD's Pacifica) you can run unmodified guest operating systems...so we are looking into buying a new server to run a few virtual machines of CentOS & a few with Windows. If anyone has done this, I would love to hear about their success/struggles...Thanks! --Bill Bill Baird Phoenix Marketing International | Director of Technology 6423 Montgomery Street, Suite 12 | Rhinebeck, NY 12572 845-876-8228 x311- Office | 203-545-0437 - Mobile http://www.phoenixmi.com/

cron.weekly
by Sam Drinkard 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Just looked at the log from the x86_64 machine and I see the same zcat: stdout: Broken pipe in the 00-makewhatis.cron job as on the x86 machine. Did I miss some thread about current updates somewhere? sam -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam(a)wa4phy.net NOAA Cooperative Observer http://wa4phy.net Augusta Area Mesonet

Broken pipe
by Sam Drinkard 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

I updated my x86 machine day before yesterday, and I noticed two things. The clamav user and group was deleted, and not recreated, and when the makewhatis ran, I got a page full of "zcat: stdout: Broken pipe" entries. What gives with the makewhatis and clamav? Was clamav removed from the software? I encountered no errors when the transaction check and transactions were run. Hints? -- Sam W.Drinkard -- sam(a)wa4phy.net NOAA Cooperative Observer http://wa4phy.net Augusta Area Mesonet

I need to do the same thing, and can't get sendmail to email within my domain. I can send emails outside my company, but not to an internal SMTP server. I'm working on a small perl script that will do what I need - inject email into my internal SMTP server, with attachments. I need simple email notification when cronjobs finish... If you're interested, I can post this script to the list, hopefully later today. HTH Mark
