4.2 upgrade and kernels
by Collins Richey 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

Just curious about kernel requirements after the upgrade. I've been running the 2.6.9-11.106.unsupported kernel for some time. Now I see that the base kernel is up to 2.6.9-22.EL. Are there any plans to upgrade the unsupported kernel? Should I be using the newer kernel after the upgrade? Does it make any difference? Not trying to be pushy; just looking for information. Thanks for all the good work, and tons of it. -- Collins Richey Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code ...

15 Oct '05

What would be the minimum requirements for a mirror for the CentOS distributions? I've got some resources that I might be able to utilize to help out. Can someone respond to me offline where we can discuss? Sam -- Snowman

Wherefore SELinux?
by Benjamin Smith 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

I've tried to wrap my head around SELinux several times, and so far, all I've managed to do is rap my head, and then somewhat painfully. Is there a detailed "SELinux Unleashed" style book anybody can recommend? Anybody read Oreilly's book care to comment?

Trying to figure out how to configure it for multiple users. By default CentOS doesn't have a daemon setup if you want to do this. Preston

Anyone know why this wouldn't be valid mbox format?
by Preston Crawford 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Trying to get my wife's emails out of a proprietary format and into mbox for use on our local box. Doing some major file munging. In a test email the following doesn't work. (forgetting dates, email addresses, etc.) >From heraddress(a)herdomain.com Wed Oct 10 11:50:44 2005 -0700 Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2005 11:50:42 -0700 (PDT) This does work >From heraddress(a)herdomain.com Wed Oct 9 11:50:44 2005 -0700 Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2005 11:50:42 -0700 (PDT) This is just me munging files and trying them in Pine. Any idea why the first doesn't work and the second does? Preston

Good book on setting up procmail/spamassassin?
by Preston Crawford 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Anyone know of one? Is that O'Reilly book good? I need to get my fetchmail setup with some good filtering in procmail pronto and I can't remember how to set it up and compose the recipes properly. I'm willing to just buy a book at this point to make the spam and unwanted emails go away. Any advice or direction is appreciated. Of course I'll Google, but I was hoping someone here might have the answer off the top of their head, so I could get something going tonight. Preston
