Linux HA or Heartbeat IP address question
by Devraj Mukherjee 03 Feb '09

03 Feb '09

Hi all, I am following the guide on HowToForge to get Heartbeat going for two Apache web servers (http://www.howtoforge.com/high_availability_heartbeat_centos) a quick question for anyone who might have a similar setup. Do I have to assign the service IP to either of the NICs or does Heartbeat do that automagically?

Redistributing CentOS
by James Bensley 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hey Listees, Just a quick question. I hope this isn't received incorrectly by everyone as I do mean the best for the CentOS project; I am wondering if it would be frowned upon to upload CentOS to my RapidShare account. I understand I can freely distribute CentOS but to what extent? In its simplest form I only really want to upload CentOS 5.2 to my RapidShare account for speed. I had to download it twice this weekend at two difference remote sites and sometimes the mirror was a bit slow. Generally they are quite fast but I mean with RapidShare I can get 50Mbps compared to normal 6-10Mbps from some mirrors. I understand it depends on the line I am downloading from and the load on the mirror etc but because fools like myself and many others have paid RapidShare accounts we can download things super quick with a vary reliable supplier. I am wondering why I can't find CentOS on there already as that was the first place I looked hoping I could download the DVD install straight from there in 20 minutes? Is it because this is either frowned upon or just straight up wrong? Does anyone have any suggestions about the right way to go with this? Thanks for reading people.

OT: procmail recipe question
by James Pifer 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

I'm trying to use procmail and I'm having trouble getting it to set some headers. I have one mailing list that sets Newsgroups: in the header and I want to remove it. I have the following test recipe: :0 * ^Subject:.*\<testing * ^(Mime-Version:|Content-) | formail -IMime-Version: -IContent- If I understand it correctly, it should remove the Mime-Verion and Content headers. The recipe gets matched but then doesn't deliver correctly: procmail: Match on "^Subject:.*\<testing" procmail: Match on "^(Mime-Version:|Content-)" procmail: Executing "formail,-IMime-Version:,-IContent-" procmail: Assigning "LASTFOLDER=formail -IMime-Version: -IContent-" procmail: Notified comsat: "test@:/home/jep/formail -IMime-Version: -IContent-" >From jep(a)obrien-pifer.com Mon Feb 2 11:43:03 2009 Subject: testing Folder: formail -IMime-Version: -IContent- 1010 It looks like it's trying to put it in a folder starting with formail. I tried putting the mail file on the next line (/var/mail/test), which is the same way I do it on my kid's procmailrc's, but it seems to ignore it. Where does procmail get the LASTFOLDER thing from? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, James

Which is the best now then? I think he meant the brand name "Best Power." Eaton owns both the Best Power and Powerware brands. -- tkb

Quickbooks and Samba and Oplocks... OH MY
by Tim Nelson 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

It is widely known that Quickbooks has a horrible storage engine, "requires" Windows to host multiuser access, etc. However, I've successfully been storing QuickBooks files on Samba shares at a handful of locations with no real issues other than slight performance degradation. However, a somewhat recent thread here mentioned the proper use of oplock'ing in the Samba configuration to considerably increase performance/reliability. Could someone please share any hints/tips on configuring Samba for optimum use with QuickBooks? I have one server in particular that appears to be suffering performance problems with QuickBooks but runs lightning fast with all other applications. If I recall, and as the subject mentions, I believe the key lies with the oplock settings. Thanks! Tim Nelson Systems/Network Support Rockbochs Inc. (218)727-4332 x105

CentOS 5 PPC
by dnk 31 Jan '09

31 Jan '09

There has been some discussion about PPC on this list, and I was looking at the CentOS homepage, and it states that support for the PPC architecture is in progress. Is there actually a V5 (CentOS) PPC download? I have been looking for it on the site without luck. For example http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/isos/ only has i386 and x86_64. I have an old G4 with dual processors I want to breath some life into. d
