by Robert 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

greetings i have a lady that likes the getrichquick stuff and has subscribed to just about every possible spammers mail queue in the known universe. right now she has 2290 emails in her mailbox and i cannot view them in squirrelmail to dust em i dont want to dust her email just yet.... i want to learn from this situation how to better admin for a single user as well as the entire system including other domains etc. i need some advise and, of course, i dont mind reading docs etc ummmm what docs and files should i be concerned about in regards to *her only* so that anything that has a rating of above 3.8 addressed to *her* gets deleted and what should i be looking for in squirrelmail or imap that allows me to up the amount of emails that one can view via squirrelmail ive been searching for "squirrelmail limits" and other things like that to no avail so far. i have the php stuff set correctly and bumped it up for attachments and all that yet im still not finding the other limits i need to address. should i be looking in imap? php? or squirrelmail? or? thanks in advance. - rh -- Robert Hanson - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

Whereis system-config-kickstart
by Robert Moskowitz 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/… To use Kickstart Configurator, you must be running the X Window System. To start Kickstart Configurator, select Applications (the main menu on the panel) => System Tools => Kickstart, or type the command /usr/sbin/system-config-kickstart. Can't find it. Now my system has: %packages @ gnome-desktop @ base-x @ kde-desktop Amongst others. So where is it hiding? Also when you get to: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/… How do you specify the geometry of the drive that will be used? I will be using a Toshiba MK4018GAS (http://www.netcomdirect.com/tomk40at429n.html) I will want to include a Hibernate partition....

CentOS 4.x - Kickstart
by Tom Brown 17 Mar '06

17 Mar '06

Anyone point me in the direction of a good howto on kickstarting an 1850 or 2850 with the latest 4.x release - I presume one does not use a ks floppy anymore as the kernel would be too big ? thanks

LSI Logic controller status
by Mindaugas 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hello, Recently we bought HP bl35 blades with LSI Logic SAS controllers. mpt* drivers works fine but I would like to somehow view status from command line. To monitor e.g. if one of the HDDs failed. I found mptutil on LSI Logic site but it just shows me configuration in quite cryptic form. Thanks, Mindaugas

I did not see an answer in later digests yet ] FYI, you can use the '-d ata' option to smartctl to talk to your SATA devices with the -34 kernel. I've been doing this with a 2.6.15.4 kernel, but back-reved to 2.6.9-34 to test this and was successful. So if you edit your /etc/smartd.conf, you can have a line like: /dev/sda -d ata -H -m root(a)localhost.localdomain and you interactively do: smartctl -d ata -a /dev/sda Regards, Ken Key

Eggcups printer icon not showing up in panel
by Steve Bergman 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

I did a "side grade" on a client's machine freom FC2 to Centos4.2. I am not seeing the eggcups printer icon appear when the user sends a print job. One problem was that I had to copy /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession.rpmnew into place so that the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS variable got set correctly. The messagebus service is running, as well as hal. There is a notification area in the panel. I can manually start eggcups and not get an error. (It returns 0). But it immediately exits, and no printer icon. Am I missing something? I'm not particularly familiar with eggcups and its required configs. Thanks for any help, Steve Bergman

ATI X300 on CentOS 4
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hello Everyone, I'm running the x86_64 bit version of CentOS 4 on a dual AMD Opteron server. The graphics card is an ATI Radeon X300. At the moment, Xorg is configured to use the open source driver, radeon. The server itself is connected to a KVM switch, which has otherwise not caused any issues. Recently, the virtual terminals have started to go blank and then not come back. What I mean by that is that the VTs from 1 to 7 do not display anything (the server is typically running in run level 5). I thought perhaps DPMS was on, but no amount of typing on the keyboard brings them back. I then considered it was related to the vga=791 parameter I was passing to the kernel - there were many mtrr errors reported in /var/log/messages. However, removing that parameter hasn't fixed the problem. Restarting GDM or changing the server's run levels doesn't work either. Only a reboot resolves the issue. (Hmmm...now that I think about it, removing the radeon module and adding it again might be equivalent to the reboot). There's nothing in /var/log/messages or in the xorg log file to indicate a problem. All the tty processes are running normally. I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before. If so, is switching to the proprietary driver the only option? Is there anything else I can look at? I'm suspecting it's a driver issue, and so will shortly try the proprietary driver from ATI.

by Oliver Schulze L. 16 Mar '06

16 Mar '06

Hi, I have a server that have an aplication that runs on RH7.3 and in Centos 2.1 Currently, it runs RH7.3 with yum updates from fedora-legacy My question is, should I update to Centos 2.1 or stay in RH7.3? What are my advantages of migrating to Centos 2.1? My concern are more about security updates in the next 2 years. Many thanks Oliver -- Oliver Schulze L. <oliver(a)samera.com.py>
