Firewalling SMTP
by Denis Croombs 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

I have a Centos server and I want to only accept mail for the local users from 3 mail servers, but I still want the users to be able to send emails through this server, If I firewall the SMTP port to my 3 mail servers is there any way users will be able to still send via the main POP server ? (currently using Sendmails SMTP-Auth) Thanks Denis

Naive suggestions for (kinda) funding
by Radu-Cristian FOTESCU 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

First of all, don't shoot me if I got some things wrong. I personally recommend (without much success :-)) to buy from www.cheeplinux.com (Definite Software), because I believe this is of some help to the CentOS project. At least, to some people involved in it (please correct me if I'm wrong). §1. Anyway, as PayPal is _not_ an option for some countries, donations to CentOS.org can't be done by PayPal. I suggest to add an item "donate to CentOS: GBP 1" to www.cheeplinux.com, the same way Slackware has an item of $1, so you can "buy" as many of these to donate. Moving on: www.cheeplinux.com is by no means "the cheepest", on the contrary. From the three virtual stores I trust (and I have used), we have e.g. (shipping is extra): * 2 CDs on cheeplinux.com US$14.75, and they're paper-printed on the face; * 2 CDs on thelinuxstore.ca US$7.70, and they're ink-printed(!) on the face; * 2 CDs on linuxcd.org US$3.50, and they still work :-)) (plus they constantly have new items); Again, I am "pro-cheeplinux.com" in the hope this helps the CentOS project. §2. For that price, to have a real success, Cheeplinux should try ink-printing on the CD/DVD surface, like the Canadians do. Properly adverstised, sales should increase noticeably, and they should compensate the increased production costs. §3. Cheeplinux is also the only place where one can find such cute things like the CentOS PC badge #2: http://www.cheeplinux.com/product_info.php?products_id=210 My suggestion is to try to add some more CentOS-specific/uniquely-branded stuff. Take a look at some interesting products made in Brazil, carrying Red Hat's branding (most likely, illegally): -- a superb pin, 23 x 23 mm: http://www.linuxmall.com.br/index.php?product_id=982 -- a great rollerbal: http://www.linuxmall.com.br/index.php?product_id=2421 You could try to cut a deal with these Brasilieros to produce _CentOS-branded_ stuff of the same quality. They could ship bulk quantities to the UK, for sale through Cheeplinux.com. A good thing is that LinuxMall.com.br does NOT sell to Europe (except for Portugal), and... their site is in Portuguese only!!! So no, no real competition :) So, should you get such a pin for GBP 1 (R$ 3.90 make GBP 0.93), you might sell it with something like GBP 3; the rollerball at ~GBP 3.30 could sell at GBP 10, and these are only for the specified items. That is, similar items, CentOS-branded! Ask me in private for the e-mail of a contact person at LinuxMall.com.br who can speak English (well... sort of, but good enough). Maybe they will cooperate. (Ach! please note how cute their CDs/DVDs are printed!) R-C F aka Béranger --------------------------------- All new Yahoo!

Server Install Eth0 & Eth1 not working
by Ed Morrison 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

Hi Everyone: I installed CentOS 4.4 on a new Dell 2950 using the server cd. No errors during the installation and no errors on bootup when loading the Eth0 or Eth1 interfaces. I currently have iptables stopped and selinux disabled. The interfaces have been given a static ip (192.168.1.x). the subnet is 255.255.255.0 and the gateway is 192.168.1.1. I can not ping any device on my network including the gateway. I can ping 127.0.0.1 and the 192.168.1.x. After trying to ping another device ifconfig will show that on ifcfg-lo transmit and receive packets of 389 or some other number depending on how many ping packets were sent. Ifcfg-th0 or Ifcfg-eth1 will not show any TX or RX packets. The box was ordered to support RH from Dell. The NIC is an embedded dual port Broadcom NetXtreme II5708 GigabitEthernet NIC. I've replaced all network cables and the ports to where they connect into the switch and even a different switch and it still will not show me any love. Any ideas would be welcome! Thanks Ed

slow system
by Craig White 16 Jan '07

16 Jan '07

I have a server that is running slowly and I think it's because of my stupidity - it's running CentOS 3.8 I have software RAID level 1 and the mirrored drives are the master & slave on the primary controller and I'm thinking that is my mistake. Is there a simple method for changing the configuration of md before I switch the slave drive to be the slave on the secondary controller? Craig

piranha lvsd "cluster" status: how?
by Rui Miguel Silva Seabra 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi, I've got a couple of machines acting as directors with service=lvs Is there something similar to 'clustat' for pulse+lvsd? I need this in order to make our monitorization scripts "cluster-aware", or else one node will have critical status when there are less nannies than it expected because the services ran over to the other node. Thanks in advance, Rui -- + No matter how much you do, you never do enough -- unknown + Whatever you do will be insignificant, | but it is very important that you do it -- Gandhi + So let's do it...?

WinXP don't boot

Hi all, I've installed CentOS 4.4 in a box which previously had dual boot (XP SP2 and Ubuntu) I can run CentOS without problem but I can't boot XP SP2. When I try it the system simply hangs...

CentOS 4.4 on mini-itx
by Tom Diehl 15 Jan '07

15 Jan '07

Hi, I have a EPIA mini-itx board that I have been running Fedora 4 on. I want to install CentOS 4.4 on it since FC4 is no longer supported. The install goes fine but when I reboot the machine after the install I get errors like the following: hda:<4>hda: dma_timer_Expiry : dma status == 0x21 There are other errors about not being able to access the disk and eventually the kernel panics. The disk is a 4 gig compact flash. I used a 1 gig chip for FC4 so I know the thing will run from a flash chip. Does anyone have any idea how to get this to work? Is there a way to turn off dma? Has anyone else tried this? Regards, -- Tom Diehl tdiehl(a)rogueind.com Spamtrap address mtd123(a)rogueind.com
