Cron for spamassassin
by Bob Hoffman 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hi all, Question: Do you run the cron.d for updating spamassassin that came with the distro (centos 5.x)? I tried doing it when it was first set up and it just kept failing. Although set to run, neither sa-update logs nor cron logs show any activity at all on this cron. And thus I usually do it by hand, running sa-update -D on the command line every week or so. The cron.d/sa-update file is chmod 0600 and owned by root. The contents are as was installed -------------------------------- 10 4 * * * root /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/sa-update.log -------------------------------- When running the cron manually from the command line, it says: -------------------------------- /etc/cron.d/sa-update: line 9: 10: command not found --------------------------------- And the cron log will say ------------------------------- "May 18 18:56:01 mail crond[3919]: (*system*) BAD FILE MODE (/etc/cron.d/sa-update)" ------------------------------- All research online and in bugs only refer to an old syntax error that is no longer in the code. I did find quite a few posts from people all over the web that this was not working for them. Not one was fixed or resoved. I tired making the cron 0755 but that did not change anything. I could find no bug reports on this on either rhel or centos. So, I was just thinking about making a crontab to run sa-update daily and see if that works. I would like to use as intended though. Has anyone experienced this problem, and has anyone figured out what is wrong? Thanks in advance.

What happened to http://www.spampoison.com/ ? Does anybody know a good site, that makes similar activity? I mean to "fight" against spam? Like putting a link to a site, and that link points to another site, what's full with False email addresses :) Thank you

Shell Script Pointers?
by James Bensley 20 May '09

20 May '09

Hey Listee's I am trying to write a shell script to sort and compare my blacklist for squidGuard with the nightly updates that come down in a tar ball. It should be rather simple but I'm not to grate at this. The script is to run nightly, it will download the latest blacklist tarball, un tar it and then add any new entries to the existing black list. The blacklists work by having a folder for each filtered category so the folder "db" contains the subfolders "adult", "gambling", "drugs" etc and each sub folder has two files, "domains" and "urls" (pretty self explanitory). This is how far I have gotten (I haven't tested this script yet as I haven't had a chance I have only gotten as far as writting it, this is what I have so far: #!/bin/bash #This will be running from home directory wget http://www.blacklistsite.com/blacklist.tar tar -cxf blacklist.tar cd BL find ./ -type d -maxdepth 1 | while read FOLDER; do SQUIDDB="usr/local/squidGuard/db/$FOLDER" sort_db($SQUIDDB) comm -3 $SQUIDDB/domains $FOLDER/domains > $SQUIDDB/domains.missing comm -3 $SQUIDDB/urls $FOLDER/urls > $SQUIDDB/urls.missing cat $SQUIDDB/domains.missing >> $SQUIDDB/domains cat $SQUIDDB/urls.missing >> $SQUIDDB/urls rm $SQUIDDB/domains.missing rm $SQUIDDB/urls.missing sort_db($SQUIDDB) done sort_db(){ sort -f $1/domains > $1/domains.sorted sort -f $1/urls > $1/urls.sorted rm $1/domains rm $1/urls mv $1/doamins.sorted $1/domains mv $1/urls.sorted $1/urls } Is it obvious I'm new to this? Hehe, I would also love to hear how people would do this in a more efficient manner because obvisouly this is pretty sloppy and as I said I haven't tested it yet so it might not even run?!

Does anyone use pmacct?
by Rudi Ahlers 19 May '09

19 May '09

Hi all, I've been advised to use pmacct on a CentOS server, in order to keep track of network traffic used by the XEN domU's / VPS' / VM's on the server. I don't see a .rpm on their website so I don't know if it's safe to install the tarball. I also don't see an rpm in the dag wiers repository. Has anyone installed it on CentOS before? And if so, did you run into any problems? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Hosting Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532

Weird CentOS 5.3 problem
by Randall Martin 19 May '09

19 May '09

I reimaged a compute node on our cluster with the latest 5.3 updates (we were previously running 5.2), but we kept the kernel at 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 until I can find time to rebuild some of our kernel modules. After the image install finishes and the system reboots, the eth0 ethernet interface disappears. If I do an ifconfig a, I see what should be eth0, but it¹s listed as __tmp2081258173. [root@node0770 ~]# ifconfig -a __tmp2081258173 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:68:86:67:04 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Interrupt:66 The dmesg output isn¹t very helpful: [root@node0770 ~]# dmesg|grep eth0 eth0: forcedeth.c: subsystem: 0108e:534b bound to 0000:00:08.0 If I remove our lustre modules that were built for the 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 kernel and reboot, the eth0 interface reappears. Another piece to this puzzle is that this problem only seems to happen on our Sun X2200¹s. Our Dell 1950¹s work just fine after putting on the 5.3 updates. Anyone know what could cause this behavior? Thanks, Randy

Re: [CentOS] centos 5.2 install: mbr or no bootloader ?

Julian responded > You need to select 'install bootloader' to the hard disk, and then advanced options, > where you can tell it to install > it to /boot instead of MBR. > You should have created /boot in the partitioning stage. > I assume you are using some other boot manager > Julian Thomas Thanks, Julian, that tells me what I missed. FYI: I am not using a /boot partition, all of centos is in sdb5. I am using grub, but it is installed into a small ~ 10 Mb grub-only partition sdb9. That chainloads all my os's, centos(sdb5), fc5(sdb6), f10(sda1) I havent been able to get f10 X working. Jack
