Re: [CentOS] Force sendmail outbound routing for specific domain name
by Brent L. Bates 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Your problem sounds like it has nothing to do with sendmail, but with any IP traffic. Does the other company have a Web or FTP site at the same IP address or with in the same class C? If so, when email doesn't work, I bet neither of these work either. I've seen this happen before. The ISP isn't properly routing traffic between your two networks. I'm not sure you if you could put in a static route that would by pass your ISP's faulty routing tables or not. I'm betting probably not. -- Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys. Admin.)

Yum equivalent of rpm -i --test
by Joseph L. Casale 10 Apr '08

How does one do this? Reading through the man pages for yum it doesn't look like its possible? I could use rpm, but I was hoping to pull down deps through yum automagically. Thanks! jlc

apache log directives
by Jason 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

Does anyone know of a way to specify a CustomLog file name in apache based on the vhost? for example, I have 10 vhosts and instead of giving each one a CustomLog directive and specifying a different log file I'd like to do something in global that does the same thing, ala vhost elvis customlog elvis.log vhost king customlog king.log becomes customlog $VHOST.log I know that this is a bad idea, I know about the open file concerns. It's more of a "can it be done" -- Jason www.cyborgworkshop.org

Force sendmail outbound routing for specific domain name
by Hugh E Cruickshank 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

CentOS 4.6 Hi All: Is it possible to force sendmail to use a specified host name for outbound email to a selected domain name instead of the host name that can be found by looking up the DNS entry? The problem is that we have a client that uses the same ISP as we do and the IP addresses assigned to both of us are very close. This has resulted in connection problems specifically with our outbound email to the client. I believe it is an issue with TCP/IP routing. In the past the ISP has setup some sort of special routing that redirects our email to the ISP's backup mail server which then delivers the mail to the client. Every once in a while the ISP does something with their configuration and the routing override is lost for several days until we can get them to recognize the problem and then figure out what they did the last time. This happened over the weekend and we are still waiting on the ISP to fix it up. My thought was can we configure this in our mail server so that we and our client do not have to suffer with this again? TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

We used to do that on our old SCO OSR5 box but I stopped doing that when I switched over to the new CentOS4 system. For the life of me I can not recall why but I must have had a reason. I will check that out as an alternative. > you don't explain what the problem is, e.g., inability to connect to > their server, etc. The connection to the client's mail server times out. > of course the real solution is to resolve the underlying problem > since of course the isp's kludge will break now and then. Too true. Eventually we will be moving the whole shebang to a co-lo facility so that will probably avoid the problem as well (a little overkill but it should work).

file conflicts when updating from 5.0 to 5.1
by Kai Schaetzl 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

I get these two errors when I upgrade to the current 5 base. centos-release-5-0.0.el5.centos.2 CentOS release 5 (Final) file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo from install of centos-release-5 -1.0.el5.centos.1 conflicts with file from package centos-yumconf-4-4.5 file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources from install of centos-release-5- 1.0.el5.centos.1 conflicts with file from package up2date-4.4.67-4.centos4 I think this setup is an inplace-upgrade from 4 to 5, it's been offline for some months, now I'm resurrecting it. CentOS-Base.repo was edited by me to point to a local repo. I haven't ever seen this to be a problem. Is yumconf from CentOS4? up2date-4.4.67-4.centos4 seems to be coming from CentOS 4? Maybe I should just remove both packages before update as they don't seem to be part of centOS 5? (at least I don't have them on 5 installs) I wonder why this wasn't a problem when going from 4 to 5, though.

How to get status of notebook lid?
by Olaf Mueller 09 Apr '08

09 Apr '08

Hello, I am using CentOS 5.1 on a toshiba tecra 8000 notebook. That works great so far. The only thing I could not realize is to shutdown the notebook if closing the lid. Therefor I need the current status (open or close) of the lid, but I don't know how. Is there any way to get this status, maybe under /proc/ or by some command? [root@beutelsend ~]# uname -a Linux beutelsend 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5 #1 SMP Wed Mar 5 11:36:49 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [root@beutelsend ~]# chkconfig --list apmd apmd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off [root@beutelsend ~]# service apmd status apmd (PID 1760) wird ausgeführt... thank you very much Olaf

After extracting the spec file out an srpm and editing it, how does one execute $rpmbuild --rebuild package.srpm and use the new spec file as a non-root user inside a home dir build root? Thanks! jlc
