We just got a new box with 3 h-disks. 2 identical 20 GB drives and 1 40 Gb. We've read the articles but we'd just like to know any gotcha's from human beings too before we procede to format on Monday. We are on 8.2 and it's going to be a NIS-NFS server for our 18 node lan. Anyone on the list got any hands-on with this one? Cheers, Steve.

FW: [SLE] fetchd and postfix
by James Newman 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

If fetchmail is going through the header checks in postfix, then why does it not catch the named headers? If I send an e-mail with the word penis to the mx.domain.com account, postfix catches it and sends it to the spam folder. If I send it to otherdomain.com with is brought in via fetchmail, it goes straight to the inbox. Same e-mail, only diff is the way it comes to the system. -----Original Message----- From: Carlos E.

Ah, then it is what I thought, and it is what I'm doing. Have a look at the thread (and additions on some other threads): Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 01:51:24 +0200 (CEST) From: Carlos E. R. <robin1.listas(a)tiscali.es> To: SLE <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Subject: [SLE] Rejecting email with attachs X-Message-Number-for-archive: 158210 You can get that from this list archive, or using mail alone (see the list FAQ for instructions on that). Quick excerpt: In /etc/postfix/header_checks, I have the line - note that you no longer need need body checks for rejecting attaches: /(filename|name)=".*\.(scr|pif|exe)"/ REJECT "*** DOS/WIN executables rejected ***" The docs say (asd|chm|exe|doc|dll|hlp|hta|js|ocx|pif). Note that fetchmail, by default, hands off mail to postfix for delivery, and doesn't wait till the fetching is complete. So, as soon as postfix sees the disturbing header, it rejects it, and fetchmail stops fetching, generating a bounce message. Note that if you make procmail hand mail directly to procmail (possible), postfix never sees it and it is not rejected. That could be your problem. If you want to stop the bounce message from FETCHMAIL-DAEMON, theoretically you could stop them being produced adding this line: set no bouncemail to the fetchmailrc file; don't do it. For details on this, check again this list archive: Date: Sat, 6 Sep 2003 16:15:57 +0200 (CEST) From: Carlos E. R. <robin1.listas(a)tiscali.es> To: SLE <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Subject: [SLE] Fetchmail: do not use "no bouncemail" X-Message-Number-for-archive: 158575 The problem, told briefly, is that although the bounce is not generated, the rejected mail is not deleted from the pop/imap servers, and awaits manual collection/deletion by some other means. Instead, you can do this in "/etc/postfix/header_checks" (use your local domain name): /^From:.*FETCHMAIL\-DAEMON\@nimrodel\.valinor/ HOLD /^From:.*fetchmail\-daemon\@nimrodel\.valinor/ HOLD (I don't know if parsing is case sensitive in postfix). That line will cause mail coming from FETCHMAIL-DAEMON to be put on hold locally. I use a script to delete them (you'll have to edit it): #!/bin/bash mailq|grep FETCHMAIL-DAEMON(a)nimrodel.valinor | cut -c 1-10 > /root/bin/killmails.lst echo -e -n "Hay un total de: " echo -e -n `wc -l /root/bin/killmails.lst` | cut -c1-3 echo pringaos while read FILES ; do FILE=`find /var/spool/postfix/hold/*/$FILES` /usr/sbin/postcat $FILE > /root/bin/killmails.msg echo "=============================================================" >> /root/bin/killmails.msg /usr/sbin/postsuper -d $FILES 2>&1 | tee /root/bin/killmails.msg2 cat /root/bin/killmails.msg2 >> /root/bin/killmails.msg cat /root/bin/killmails.msg | /usr/bin/mailx -s "Correo rechazado ("$FILES"), puesto en hold, y borrado" postmaster rm /root/bin/killmails.msg2 /root/bin/killmails.msg done < /root/bin/killmails.lst Be aware that the postfix doc makes some warning about the queue id being reused and possible mishaps. I don't think it is an issue here, but I don't warranty it :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

An question abt screen resolution with nVidia
by Clayton Cornell 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

I've followed the instructions and got the latest nVidia drivers up and running. Things are working fine in2D and 3D... with one minor issue... screen resolution. When I was using the generic drivers from SuSE I could bump the resolution up to 1600x1200 and was running it there up until today when I finally got around to futzing around to install the official nVidia drivers. Now, I can't push the resolution beyond 1200x1024. Using SAX2, I can remove all resolutions except 1600x1200, but I still only get 1280x1024. If I look into my XF86Config file, the Modelines are there to define 1600x1200, and so is what appears to be the correct Subsection Display of Screen. (I'm attempting to use 16bit at 1600x1200 - the DefaultDepth 16 line should be setting this, right?) Oddly, in SAX2, when I set the resolutions there, it allows me to select only 1600x1200 at 16 bit but when it goes into test mode it will only display 1280x1024. So... anyone have any idea what i'm doing wrong here? I know the HW can handle the higher resolution (GeForce2Ti and an iyyama Vision Maseter Pro 451 19" monitor).

Feedback dissapeared! (rant)
by Carlos E. R. 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

Heck! I sent a mail to feedback(a)suse.de, about a kernel bug report, and I got this: > Please note that the email address you sent your message to > (feedback(a)suse.de) is no longer in use. Of course you still can send us > your ideas, comments and bug reports related to our products! Please use > our web pages: > > http://www.suse.de/feedback Why, SuSE, why? :-(((( Browsing costs more money than email - to me, at least: my connection is paid by the minute. And it needs more time, some minutes. What is the reason for removing it? Money? Staff? They think a web page is nicer? Cuter perhaps? I can not understand it, whatever the reason. And before anybody says that this is not the place for this rant, I have two reasons: 1) I already wrote in the web form what I thought. 2) Perhaps some other listers think like me and will complain as well - in the web form, of course. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

OT: FTP upload queries
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

Hi, Having a problem uploading an index.html to my web space via the command line. I am in the correct remote directory and I think I am issuing the correct commands but the file is not uploaded. I am transfering using binary with hash marks enabled. Below are some of the 'error' messages I have been receiving: ftp> put index.html local: index.html remote: index.html 227 Entering Passive Mode (196,xx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx). 503 No PORT command issued first. Finding out what the command PORT meant and turning it off: ftp> ? sendport sendport toggle use of PORT cmd for each data connection ftp> sendport Use of PORT cmds off. ftp> lcd /mnt/floppy Local directory now /mnt/floppy ftp> put index.html local: index.html remote: index.html 227 Entering Passive Mode (196,xx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx). 503 No PORT command issued first. I thought PORT commands where turned off?? All I need to do is upload a single file and I cannot see what I am doing wrong?
