I am trying to move a mail server from OSE 11.0 to 11.3 and cannot seem to get past the following messages in mail.err (and other logs): Aug 12 21:37:40 ux-ose postfix/master[20835]: nss_ldap: could not search LDAP server - Server is unavailable I have never used LDAP nor do I wish to but for some unknown reason postfix insists on it. How can I remove the LDAP entirely from messing with postfix. I can telnet to port 25 on localhost but not from other systems on the same subnet: telnet 10.1.1.113 25 Trying 10.1.1.113... telnet: connect to address 10.1.1.113: Connection refused Thank you, Lucky Leavell -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, it is your postfix who thinks it needs LDAP. You have perhaps used Yast to configure postfix in expert mode, it does just that. You have to edit postfix configuration manually, reading the manuals.

Because you have not opened the firewall or you have forgotten to tell postfix to listen to the network. This is the default situation. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Elessar))

I have tried and cannot see where postfix makes the connection. Yes, I did use the expert mode but have never used LDAP nor do I wish to. I am tempted to try to remove postfix and ldap and then reinstall postfix and start over.

Actually, I should have added that port 25 is open and shows attempted connections (increased counts). Also inet_interfaces is set to all in main.cf.

That's what I did myself ;-) Without using the yast expert mode, and doing the expert things in the postfix config files instead, However, I'm told that it does setup ldap quite nicely, for those wanting it. Integrated, postfix, ldap, and cirrus. One day I have to try it on a test bed.

Weird. But it is too late for me to think much :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Elessar))

Depends whom you ask. I tried it when migrating my server with cyrus from 10.3 to 11.2. The auto-way just forced LDAP on me, neglecting the fact that the system uses NIS - so noone could log in anymore, plus some other 'goodies'.....

Might be that postfix is not running due to an error in the config?

That did it! I removed nss_ldapand openldap and had to disable postgrey (until later!)..

Perhaps it wasn't the best solution but I merged my old main.cf and master.cf with the new one only to find out later that the sysconfig editor won't touch the config files if I have. :) It is working both ways and I haven't had to go back to the old one ... yet! Thanks for your help.

there are rules/steps :^) look at /etc/sysconfig/postfix particularly the section: # # POSTFIX_ADD_* # You may add any existing postfix parameter here. Just execute the # postconf command to get a complete list. You then have to uppercase # the parameter and prepend POSTFIX_ADD_. # Example: # Let's say you want to add the postfix parameter mailbox_size_limit. # Then just add # POSTFIX_ADD_MAILBOX_SIZE_LIMIT=0 # POSTFIX_ADD_MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT=30000000 -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Can anyone tell me if what Telstra has told me is true. I got a Sierra USB 301 wireless modem, it will not work while a network card is active, meaning I can not share it across the home network. Telstra tec said this is correct and if I want to use the card I will have to get a home gateway, which they will sell me for $299. Now I suppose to spend 10 times the price I paid them for the modem just to be able to use it poperly. No thank you. So the question is if this true and if so is ther some way arround it. I'm not interested in changeing to wireless lan here because of distances and walls between systems. So. any answer good people? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Please do not hijack threads. This was about "Re: [opensuse] LDAP vs postfix" <http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette#New_topic> So, about your problem, please open a new thread and ask again, giving specifics about how you attempt to use that modem and fail. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

I haven't any experience with that device, but that sounds like nonsense. Linux is capable of supporting multiple network devices, no matter how connected. Just out of curiosity, have you tried it without the network card, so you can at least verify whether that guy is full of it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That is probably Postfix trying to resolve a hostname and your system is configured to use ldap. Remove the ldap entries in /etc/nsswitch.conf (not the entire line, only the ldap options).
I have never used LDAP nor do I wish to but for some unknown reason postfix insists on it.
