Replacing Qpopper with Dovecot
by Gerald Braun 15 May '08

15 May '08

I currently have a Centos server with Sendmail and Qpopper supporting about 50 mail users. I am planning to replace Qpopper with Dovecot to allow some users to have IMAP access to their mail (others will still use POP3.) Is there anything special to be aware of in setting up this migration? Thanks for your comments. Gerald

I need to verify some directories of backed up data versus restored data. What would you recommend as the type of comparison to do, and which tool would give the easiest/most usable output? Thanks! jlc

Somewhat OT:
by Sergio Belkin 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hi, I'm looking for a monitoring system that support snmp v3. I want to monitorize linux servers and network switches. Currently, I am trying to use zabbix, but sadly, it lack at present features that I need. For example, I want to get reporting screens with data and graphs from network switches, I'd like to configure one only port of a given switch and that is used as templates for the rest of switch ports and the rest of the switches. I'd like to use some open source software that meet that features, and I want to avoid Nagios :) Could you recommend me someone? Thanks in advance -- -- Open Kairos http://www.openkairos.com Watch More TV http://sebelk.blogspot.com Sergio Belkin -

Tape operation
by Fajar Priyanto 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hi all, My only encounter with tape-backup was with Windows 2000. With it, when we backup things using windows' backup tool, it will create a 'catalog', then the catalog contains all the backup operations we do based on date. So, with this we can "append" many backups into one tape. Next time we want to restore a backup, we can choose what date available in that particular tape. I have zero experience with tape on Linux. I've been googling around and it seems that the backup operation is very different. For example: - The tape is 400GB (LTO-3) - The data is only 10GB Some of the articles I read imply that 1 tape contains 1 backup-file only. CMIIW. This is certainly not very efficient. The commands used are: mt, either tar, cpio. My question is: 1. How do I use that one tape of 400GB to store 39 archives of backup into it in Linux? 2. Is tape backup seen by Linux just like any other filesystem? Can we mount it and 'ls -l' it? 3. When to rewind, forward, why? 4. Wel will only backup data/files (not the entire filesystem), is it enough to use the software provided by the tape vendor, or do I need another software? Or just the mt command will do it? Any URL, scripts, insight are very welcome. Thank you very much. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 11:35:28 up 4:39, 2.6.22-14-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org The real challenge of teaching is getting your students motivated to learn.

Re: [CentOS] A couple of CentOS 5.1 issues

Probably already answered, but kermit isn't open source.

Before last week the desired behavior (the > display waking from sleep upon mouse movement) was present. It's encouraging to hear that this used to work in 5.X. I am just upgrading to 5.1 and this has always been "broken" for me, so I can't tell if it was a recent update. Can you post (or email me offline) the relevant output of "rpm -qa --last"? We may be able to figure out what update caused this issue. In the mean time, anyone have any info on Kermit for CentOS 5? We have some Kermit scripts sent to us by one of our vendors, so we can't just easily migrate to another serial communications tool.

OpenSSL/SSH Bug on Debian - Compromised key pairs
by Clint Dilks 15 May '08

15 May '08

Hi People, I know this may seem off topic, but I thought for those of us who might have Debian users generating key pairs that they put on CentOS systems people should be aware that everybody who generated a public/private keypair or an SSL cert request on Debian or Ubuntu from 2006 on is vulnerable http://it.slashdot.org/it/08/05/13/1533212.shtml

eth1 changed to __tmp78668633 in recent kernels
by henry ritzlmayr 15 May '08

Hi list, kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 and kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.19.el5 do not detect/initialize/whatever my eth1 network card any more. With kernel-xen-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5 everything is working as expected. With the two recent kernels I only get an Interface named __tmp786686833 which is not added to xenbr... lspci -v to the adapter in question says 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 06) Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at febe0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Memory at febc0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at ec00 [size=32] Expansion ROM at feba0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [d0] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Capabilities: [e0] Express Endpoint IRQ 0 ip link says 2: __tmp786686833: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000 link/ether 00:1b:21:0e:a9:3b brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff In modprobe.conf I have alias eth1 e1000 for the adapter in question. The module itself is loaded. Any Ideas how to fix this? cheers Henry
