[CentOS] Openwebmail emergency (Perl)

Re: [CentOS] LDAP Mail Notice
Maybe what i said is not clear, because my English is too pool . Please forgive me if my expression is not precise. Doesn't matter what mail server you use, email is email. The following is my environment : Workspace Environment : CentOS 5.5 64bits , Using Openldap Server or 389 LDAP Server Mail Server : Windows Mail Server For example : If I create the new account called Tim on LDAP Server , and his password is 123456 , and his mail address is t...@test.com mailto:t...@test.com Then will send an E-mail to him to notice his information , like his name and his passowrd. So Would someone can give some suggestions ? Before we go any further on this, I'd like to give a very serious warning. It is NEVER a good idea to email a password. Email is, by definition, insecure. I'm not familiar with 389 LDAP Server, and after a quick look, it would make sense for me to read up on it. Anyhow, my advice is going to come from the OpenLDAP side of things. I would: 1. Set up OpenLDAP (make sure to get a real certificate and require TLS/SSL) 2. If using Samba, set up the smbldap tools (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smbldap-Tools), can be useful even if not using samba... 3. Start script (I'd use perl, since it's what I'm most familiar with) 1. Generate username (either collect from input or generate somehow 2. Generate password (There's a sub for that on the page referenced earlier) 3. Contemplate making sure that the username is unique, and group membership, etc. 4. call smbldap-useradd to add the user (add stuff like -m for the mail address, check the smbldap-useradd documentation for handy switches 5. Compose body of email to user (this is probably mostly static, but you will most likely want to substitute some variables like username, etc 6. send the email (sub on the page earlier) 7. I repeat, please don't email passwords... have them call you for them or something... email is the least secure thing on the damn planet 4.

You had better have a backup of your system. If you don't already, you've learned a valuable lesson, but still get one RIGHT NOW. Is there anything on the Openwebmail forums/mailing lists? I can't imagine you are the only one facing this. Next, you could try removing the conflict or getting the required Zlib package (rpm or sourced from cpan) and force install, but I don't really recommend.

[CentOS] SOLVED (Re: Openwebmail emergency (Perl))
Ok, I found a fix. I had to learn a little perl for that. :-)
The offending file was /var/www/cgi-bin/openwebmail/shared/ow-shared.pm
In that file, at the top of subroutine httpprint:
# ADDED:
use IO::Compress::Gzip qw(gzip $GzipError) ;
Further down in that subroutine, around line 1175:
# REMOVED:
my $zhtml=Compress::Zlib::memGzip(join('',@{$r_htmls}));
# ADDED
my $zhtml;
my $input = join('',@{$r_htmls});
gzip \$input = \$zhtml or die gzip failed: $GzipError\n;
I will do the same fix to the other occurrences, and trust that it will
work!!
Many thanks to all, especially David!

One of the core focus for CentOS platform is to not break stuff for people - in this case you got a free win by the fact that the command still exists ( mostly as an alias ), so your scripts don't break.

While doing yum update, is there any possibility that the update might hamper the execution of any software/application installed on the system? Is there anything particular to note before updating the system? If you are not updating your machine on a regular basis, there will always be a long list of updates when you come around to running them. So make sure you check what repositories you have enabled, what packages are coming from where and what your upgrade process is going to be. Usually, doing a 'yum list updates' will tell you whats going to update - so study that list, and see if anything in there has an impact on your apps and how. basically : make sure you know whats going to change, and where that change is going to come from. if everything on your machine did not come from rpms / yum-repos : you might need to workout a plan to upgrade those components as well ( and maybe switch to using rpms for those ) - KB ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Samba issue accessing shares by IP address
We have a strange issue with Samba shares on our CentOS 5.5 systems in that we can access the shares by name, but not by IP address. First a little background. Recently, our domain controllers were upgraded and I had to tweak the smb.conf file by changing security from DOMAIN to ADS and adding a setting for realm. My smb.conf file looks like this (names and IP addresses have been changed): [global] workgroup = OUR_DOMAIN printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: usershare allow guests = Yes add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ domain logons = No domain master = No security = ADS encrypt passwords = Yes password server = server1 server2 username map = /etc/samba/smbusers usershare max shares = 100 passdb backend = smbpasswd wins support = No wins server = 1.2.3.4 name resolve order = lmhosts host wins log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m realm = COMPANY.COM [scratch] comment = Scratch area for builds inherit acls = Yes path = /scratch read only = No I also had to rejoin the CentOS systems to the domain by running net ads join -U x on each system. I can access the scratch share from any Windows PC in our domain without having to authenticate as long as I use the name of the CentOS system. But if I try to use the IP address of a CentOS system I get the The network path was not found error message. We have some systems in a lab from which we need to access the share by IP address. This worked before the recent changes, and I can't figure out which of these changes may have caused this. Any ideas?

[CentOS] using Linux as a front-end controller for a SAN?
Hi all, I hope someone can shed some light on this for me. Has anyone tried, or have experience with, setting up a Linux server to manage a few NAS devices and thus make them all visible to the clients as one large SAN? Basically, I'm thinking it would be a good idea to combine the current NAS's we have into one large system (typically a SAN?) and then let the clients all connect to one server (for authentication, LUN control, etc), but then when they need to access their drives / devices / LUN's, they get redirected to the specific server directly. I'm also thinking it could be a good way to say some IP addresses, i.e. instead of giving each NAS a public IP, they could all have private IP's and then everyone just connects to the public IP if needed. The servers which will access the NAS's will be on the same physical LAN and will also be on the same private IP subnet to make it easier. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers SoftDux Website: http://www.SoftDux.com Technical Blog: http://Blog.SoftDux.com Office: 087 805 9573 Cell: 082 554 7532 ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I'm using the configuration from this page:
http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-dkim-for-multiple-domains-on-postfix-with-dkim-milter-2.8.x-centos-5.3
Along with the latest RPM from the link on that page.
Okay, my solution was this:
module dkimlocal 1.0;
require {
type postfix_smtpd_t;
type postfix_cleanup_t;
class tcp_socket { read write };
}
#= postfix_cleanup_t ==
allow postfix_cleanup_t postfix_smtpd_t:tcp_socket { read write };
#EOF
Which was generated from the audit.log. Simply trying to load it with
semodule -i dkimlocal.te failed (magic number error), but doing the
following fixed it:
make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile
semodule -i dkimlocal.pp
Special thanks go to Dan Walsh at Red Hat for lending a hand here.

Are these devices block devices only or do the SAN heads provide protocol availability as well. I tried a similar setup with Solaris 10 ZFS and iSCSI and the performance was abysmal. This was because the iSCSI initiator/server ran in user space. Very busy file systems had very poor performance. Reclaimation of space after deleting snapshots on a file system with lots of snapshots killed disk performance, etc. The GNU/Linux solution had it's own issues around performance and associated with the various file systems. For example, XFS requiring a new UUID be generated for snapshotted volumes. Difficult H/A setups, each with their own warts. This is just one example of many!
