[Fwd: dovecot errors after upgrade to 5.1]
by Gregory P. Ennis 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Everyone, Looks like my Centos 5.0 mail server upgraded automatically last night to 5.1. It appears to have worked normally until about 16:00 CST when dovecot began to fail. I have rebooted the system to be able to use the 5.1 kernel, but dovecot still continues to fail. Has anyone else made this observation? My log entries are below Thanks in advance!!!! Greg Ennis ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dec 3 19:11:29 Mail dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc15 starting up Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: Temporary failure in creating login processes, slo wing down for now Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: imap-login: imap-login: error while loading shared libraries: libsepol.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allo cate memory Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail last message repeated 2 times Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: pop3-login: pop3-login: error while loading shared libraries: libsepol.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allo cate memory Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail last message repeated 2 times Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7342 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7343 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7344 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7345 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7346 (login) returned error 127 Dec 3 19:11:30 Mail dovecot: child 7347 (login) returned error 127 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you have SELinux turned on? If so, do things begin working if you turn it off? Best, ------------------------------------------------------------------- Good suggestion, but I do have it disabled. I have SeLinux on my wish list to understand, but for now it is disabled. Greg

Silly question about 5.1
by David G. Miller 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

I just rebooted my desktop system to pick up the 5.1 kernel, etc. One oddity I noticed is that the contents of /etc/redhat-release still says: [root@bend etc]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5 (Final) but: [root@bend etc]# rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/redhat-release centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 On my CentOS 4 box, /etc/redhat-release says: [dave@fraud ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 4.5 (Final) Shouldn't /etc/redhat-release on the CentOS 5 box say "5.1?"

Scary memory requirements for 5.1 graphic install
by Robert Moskowitz 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

It is listed as a known issue, but I have a lot of 256Mb systems where I have used the graphic installer.... OUCH! And when this is fixed (I really hope), it will mean some new ISOs to download?

Missing samba security update
by Marc Deslauriers 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

Hi, In November, upstream released RHSA-2007:1016-4 containing critical samba updates for v4. I see the CentOS released packages and announcement for ia64, but none for i386 or x86_64. Were they overlooked? Am I not looking right? Thanks! Marc.

CentOS 5 and removing sendmail
by Joseph L. Casale 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

Hi, I want to build a spam gateway for my mail server using postfix. I issued an rpm -e sendmail and got the following output: # rpm -e sendmail error: Failed dependencies: /usr/sbin/sendmail is needed by (installed) redhat-lsb-3.1-12.2.EL.el5.centos.i386 smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mutt-1.4.2.2-3.el5.i386 smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) fetchmail-6.3.6-1.el5.i386 smtpdaemon is needed by (installed) mdadm-2.5.4-3.el5.i386 How does one replace sendmail with postfix (I am hoping to install from source using the latest version)? Thanks! jlc

Local repository via createrepo assumes apache?
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

I am looking at the howtos for using createrepo to make a local repository. Like the one at: http://jazzz1s.blogspot.com/2007/10/creating-local-yum-repository-centos.ht… It seems that I need to run apache on the repository server. But I can basically run with defaults? All the howtos I have found address [base] and [update] but not others like [add-on] should those be set up as well?

pcre vs. regexp for Postfix checks
by Miark 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

What are your opinions on pcre vs regexp for header_, body_, and mime_checks in Postfix? I looked at the regexp_table and prce_table man pages, and see almost no difference other than the available flags. Miark

Does Redhat have a list of changed packages in 5.1?
by Robert Moskowitz 03 Dec '07

03 Dec '07

The information at: http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1 is great. Does RH have something that shows what has changed with them from 5.0 to 5.1? So far I have only found: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-5.1-Manual/manual/doc000.html Like what release of Firefox, etc.
