01 Sep '09

Is there a CentOS equivalent to config-system-firewall in Fedora, allowing specified services to pass through? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

what is the best way to delete so many queue files?
by MontyRee 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hello, all. I found that so many unnessary queue files are saved at /var/spool/clientmqueue/ directory. I tested two way to delete these files. 1. # rm -rf /var/spool/clientmqueue/* 2. # cd /var/spool/clientmqueue/ ; find . | xargs rm -fv But this makes a few load of the system and took too much time to delete. What is the best way to delete fast without too much load? Thanks in advance. _________________________________________________________________ 암호를 잃어버렸을 때를 대비하여 미리 암호 확인용 메일 설정하세요! http://im.msn.co.kr/im/main/mainCoverDetail.asp?seq=2251&page=1&BbsCode=bbs…

IMAP servers and Sent/Junk folders
by Eugene Vilensky 01 Sep '09

01 Sep '09

Hi, my users were recently moved from a uw-imap on HPUX to dovecot on EL5. Their sent items and folders went from a ~/Sent mbox file (when using SquirrelMail and Apple Mail both) to ~/mail/Sent for SquirrelMail and ~/mail/Sent Messages for other imap clients. I notice I can cat the files together and the only artifact is I end up with multiple "This message is part of the system do not delete" visible to the user's mail client. Is there any advice anyone can give me regarding this or other solution? Thank you! -Eugene Regards, Eugene Vilensky evilensky(a)gmail.com

Cool. I downloaded that 4.3 MB file. I suspect we could peer with Panama. I believe like Colombia, they are also quite advanced with regard to telecommunications, and it's close. The city I live in (Cali) is actually much closer to Miami, Florida than Los Angeles, California is. And maybe we could peer with Peru, but that's a long way to our South. ---- Afaik it is impossible to deduce from the URL if one node is located nearby or far away. Eventhough as i live in europe, i can register and use a japanese URL. Secondly, i fond out that ISP do funny tricks with routing: My connection to my next-door-neighbour goes via a transcient node in New-York (high latency). Only traceroute can give you a clue if a node is local or not. And even then there is a question of available bandwith....

OT: .doc,.xls,.pdf,.ppt (etc.) string parser/indexers
by Les Mikesell 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Does anyone have experience with linux tools to parse the text from common non-text file formats for searching? I'm trying to use the kinosearch add-on for twiki which is fine as far as the search goes, but it takes forever to generate the index. It uses xpdf to extract strings from pdf's, antiword for .doc, and since it is perl, the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module for .xls. Some documents parse/index quickly, some extremely slowly, and in the .xls case some seem to hang forever. I think the real issue is when the parsers (correctly or incorrectly) detect a wide character set and the indexer is confused when trying to re-encode it. What is the best approach to debug something that might be in the perl character set handlers? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com

Ifolder server on rel5?
by Dave 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hello, I've been asked to look in to deploying an ifolder server on Centos 5.x. The individual would like a clean system, so that means rpms using or making. I am concerned about this the latst time i tried it i was unable to get it working and the docs and site links were extremely unreliable. The guy wants central file storage, web interface for management, and synchronization on upload plus encryption. I note that ifolder 3.7.2 does encryption, but i'd like feedback if anyone is using this or alternatives before i say one way or the other. Thanks. Dave.

Has anyone been able to get the scroll wheel to work? Most of the other functions are fine, however "xev" does not show any events when the scroll wheel or the fourth button is pushed. Other than that it is a nice mouse but I would like the scroll wheel to work.

by Morrien, Rob 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hello. I build a local centos repo server, I am able to deploy systems from this centos repo server and I have also updated the etc/yum.repos.d directory The base and update files are changed to the new repo server ip adress. I am able to do yum clean all and yum update to my new installed client deployed servers from my new local repo server My local deployed servers build from this local reposerver are updated correctly. If I have a pc running with centos which I updated from centos 5.2 to 5.3 with yum update some weeks ago, and I use the same repo config files from the local deployed repo server . But I get now evrytime an url error. And the error is telling me that the url can't be found. If I copy the url' into a' browser I get the correct file. It looks like to me' that all centos machines which are upgrade from 5.2' to 5.3 have the same problem. Initial build machines with 5.3 don't have this problem. Who can help me Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards, Rob Morrien EDS, an HP company ABN AMRO account IE NL Gondel 1 1186 MJ Amstelveen The Netherlands Tel: +31 887 503052 Mobile: +31 6 51300616 E-mail: rob.morrien(a)eds.com -->>> ( On Friday i am not in the office ) <<< ----- We deliver on our commitments so you can deliver on yours
