Gracias Eduardo por la respuesta

Si, efectivamente he intentado acceder o pinguear los nombres de los 
dominios en cuestion, y todos se resuelven en la misma IP del 2 de enero.

Para mi es un problema de freedns que no está difunciendo en los root 
servers la ip, según mi humilde entender.

El dominio en cuestion es magrove.com.ar

Si alguien puede hacerme un favor, que le haga un ping a ver qué IP les da.

La IP real actual del servidor es 186.124.227.99 y es la que está 
configurada en freedns, pero sin embargo mi intento de acceder me 
resuelve a la IP 186.124.253.9, que es la última actualización ocurrida 
el 1 de enero.

La verdad no sé que hacer, si migrar a otro proveedor de DNS y esperar 
las 72 horas que demanda este trámite, o esperar y ver si se resuelve.

Many people care about storage format. Mbox is much more slower during
operations on it. It's because it's operate on single file, not several
of files. Maildir is only slower while opening it. But it depends on number
of messages in such a box which is equal to number of  descriptors system
must open while reading a box.

I think the OP said he wanted maildir for backup reasons. With mbox a single 
new email will mean the whole mbox needs to be backed up, with maildir only 
that email will need backing up.

I use Cyrus IMAPd - where external modification of the mailstore is
forbidden [or at least very frowned upon].  That way it uses its own
internal storage format that can be customized to be efficient.  It also
means it can keep *consistent* meta-data databases, such as search
indexes, which are *IMPOSSIBLE* if other clients are diddling around in
the mailstore.   These databases add features, performance, and
stability.  You also get things like delayed expunge and duplicate
supression [which can save scads of disk space].  All access to the
mailstore is via IMAP or POP.  Messages are placed in the mailstore by
the MTA (sendmail / postfix) via LMTP - so Cyrus can also run the SIEVE
filtering language to provide on-delivery message filtering.

http://www.cyrusimap.org/

Administrative tools are provided to manipulate the message store in a
consistent and reliable way.

  access your message store.  Cyrus IMAPd will index and filter 
  all your messages for you].

 Many people care about storage format.

And they are misguided in doing so.  Details of message storage is an
internal [server's] problem.

  Mbox is much more slower during
 operations on it. It's because it's operate on single file,

Correct, but who cares?  If the server provides high-performance to the
mailbox... why care?  Message format storage wars are silly.

[CentOS] what happened to the status

2011-01-04 Thread Jerry Geis
Hey - back to work today and just noticed the last status update for 
release 6
( http://twitter.com/centos ) was way back on Dec 1.

I know, I know, its ready when its ready and I'm fine with that
just thought it was curious that Dec 1 was the last update.

Everyone have a Great New Year!   :)

Yup, Cyrus was rock solid for us for years with Thunderbird as the 
client. We were forced into an Exchange replacement (Scalix) and now 
Google mail because 'Thunderbird is clunky (read: follows all of the 
user interface guidelines) and Outlook is cool (read: actually forces 
overrides on windows standard interface behaviour)' and neither backend 
is solid. Don't get me started on the huge list of LookOUT! WTFs. I 
wouldn't trust it for e-mails with my mum. GMail sometimes randomly 
expunges e-mails because it feels like it. Sometimes when you're 
actually reading the thing. You can't e-mail yourself.

No. They are being eminently practical. mbox format's 'one big file' 
approach results in significant I/O overhead for update operations, 
locking complexity (file locks on shared network storage - 'nuff said) 
and bloat in differential backups.

I have literally tens of gigabytes of email stored on our servers. mbox 
storage would make backups slower, take significantly more backup 
storage space and add quite a lot of disk I/O for routine mailbox use as 
well as slow down email for the end users. It is also more prone to 'one 
error took out everything' problems.

The idea that low level/internal details don't matter is only true 
when you are so far from your resource limits that they are effectively 
infinite. The real world often isn't that way.

 You can use rpmbuild -bs --nodeps to build the SRPM without the
 dependency checking. The SRPM is just a compilation of the spec,
 source code, and patches.

Actually, mock can build an SRPM from spec file and dir with sources:

  $ mock --buildsrpm --spec=/path/to/spec --source=/path/to/src/dir

I've been using it at least since 1.0.5, which is definitely in EPEL, not sure 
if it was available in older versions.  Sure it may require some scripting 
around it to automate it but it has the advantage of verifying build depends, 
etc. so it's worth it IMO.

Hmmm, not quite.

When selecting the file system on which to store e-mail, the storage format is 
significant; it's a 'small number of large files' versus 'large number of small 
files' issue then, and filesystems differ in their performance between them.  
Some filesystems slow down with large maildirs; some slow with large mboxes.  
If you support a hundred or a thousand users, make sure you allocate enough 
inodes on that mailstore filesystem if you use maildir.  For POP-only servers 
mbox works fine.  For IMAP servers where IMAP is the primary access means, not 
so fine.

In my opinion, maildirs are great for rapidly changing dynamic folders, like 
the inbox, whereas mboxes are wonderful for archives, where they tend to take 
less disk space for the same number of messages, and tend to change more 
slowly.  And when you have folders containing hundreds of thousands of e-mails 
(yes, hundreds of thousands, in one particular archive, I have) where the 
individual e-mails are quite short, the difference adds up.

In my case, our primary e-mail server is Scalix, so that dictated the storage 
format.  But, honestly, I personally would love to use a PostgreSQL backend so 
that real concurrent access is possible; I have users with Scalix mail folders 
that take a long time to rsync simply due to the number of messages (25-30 
thousand in the inbox, and they are 'folder clueless' and don't want to throw 
anything away), and in order to get a consistent backup scalix has to be shut 
down during the rsync (even if the folder hasn't changed, rsync still has to 
read all those directory entries, which takes time); an ACID database backend 
(PostgreSQL, MySQL InnoDB, Oracle, etc) will allow a fully consistent backup to 
be taken while the database is active.  And backup tools for such databases are 
very mature.

Scalix 11 uses PostgreSQL, but not as the primary mailstore.

Regardless of the maildir vs mbox argument, I would be seriously
examining why you have painted yourself into a corner with your
customized sendmail. Eventually, you will have to move on. What are
the motivations for the customizations? Do newer or alternate MTAs
have added features that can replace those customizations? Postfix can
be highly customized through configuration and is not that difficult
to learn.

As a migration path, I would separate the MTA (sendmail) and the imap
server. Go with cyrus or dovecot on a new machine (virtual?) and use
imapsync to move messages to the new box during a maintenance window.
As stated in other responses, cyrus has it's own mail storage format
with individual files for each message and dovecot supports several
formats including maildir. It should not be difficult to have your
existing sendmail deliver messages to the new imap store either
directly or with a very simple postfix MTA on the imap box. Once mail
storage is fixed, you can start working on de-customizing your MTA.

And with regard to backup space, it might be time to suck it up and
tell your users that you need to implement mail quotas. How much are
you backing up from Sent and Trash because nobody maintains their
mail folders? A quota can be a great tool for teaching basic mail

Anything that does sensible incrementals will use much less space with

be to put the backups on a block de-duplicating filesystem like zfs.

+1 on quotas; they are virtuous even if capacity isn't a constraint -
they force users to manage their data.

Regarding sent/trash/SPAM Cyrus IMAPd provides an expire annotation

Dear All,

I had my earlier post sub virtual machine does not start up.. by the way i
did manage to solve my problem . i actually dont know what could be the real
cause but I did reconnect my cd rom drive and voila did come up
let me explain

i have a sun blade server which conects the keyboard  , mouse and cd rom
with a front panel USB cable . so the cd rom was removed and hence my
virtual servers were not starting up

but now i see a new problem.

i am not able to ping the gateway
let me explain

my sun blade has 2 network cards  wqith centos 5.5

one has a public ip and the other my internal network ip.

the gateway for my sun blade is the public ip

now from the sun server i can ping the gateway. also i can ping the private
network gateway both of which on my core switch

now my virtual machine has a private network ip ( the same network range as
the interface ip ) but when i try to ping the gateway i am not to ping

the public ip network and private ip network is on separate vlans

apprecite if some can advice and help me

if you need any more information plsss do ask

Re: [CentOS] Anyone using PHP52 packages from iuscommunity.org?

2011-01-04 Thread robert mena
Well,

I got bit today.I left the enable=1 of ius and it upgraded automatically
from the 5.2.15 to 5.2.16.   After that I stated getting memory allocation
errors.

Anyone is getting that?  Since I could not find 5.2.15 again I had to switch
back to 5.2.10 from Testing.

If you are 'manually' crawling around in your message-store [the *only*
case where you'd actually care much about storage format] indicates

At risk of confusing the debate - modern email is now largely HTML with 
lots of embedded graphics (just love all those base64 encoded bits 
clogging up the mbox) I made the shift from mbox to maildir about three 
years ago - my reasoning, let the OS file system worry about where and 
how to store the stuff - let the mail app worry about what emails I have 
and how to index.
Thus postfix, dovecot (imap only) and related spam tools seem to work 
fine for my small business. I'm sure the problems only get more involved 
if one has to support 1,000's of users.
Why is it that outlook and thunderbird use mbox type storage for their 
local storage?? Certainly a pain to manage in today's bloated email world.
We haven't seen the end of this problem - it is growing day by 
day.really needs some creative solutions before we all drown in 
the data deluge.
Don't forget we also need to be able to search the last x days, weeks, 
years email's for something?

[CentOS] using kvm

2011-01-04 Thread Jerry Geis
All -  I am running a virtual windows 7 (pro 64) on centos 5.5 x86_64.
I was hoping to run virtual XP inside windows7 in this configuration.

I get an error about cannot start virtual XP when I try this.
Do I not have something setup correctly or can I not run a double 
virtual environment?

  I think that's unlikely.  If you don't oversubscribe your disk space
  as a matter of policy, you'll force upgrades earlier than most people
  would consider them necessary.  Most users, I'd expect, will be well
  under quota most of the time.  You'd commit all of your disk space to
  quota long before the space was actually used.  In your scenario, you'd
  be required to expand the disk array whenever it was committed to quota,
  even if actual use was very low.  Every site that I know of which uses
  quotas handles disk upgrades when utilization requires it, not when
  quota subscription does.
 
 So, is it fair to rephrase that as ignore quotas, pay attention to
 actual usage?
 
 I agree that some degree of oversubscription is probably desireable,
 and it would be much easier to just add storage whenever it looks to
 be getting fullish. My situation right now makes that difficult -
 budget is gone, so I can't add storage, and my users sometimes start
 up a big simulation that could potentially fill the disk right before
 the weekend. If the hoggy simulation crashes itself, that's okay, but
 if it brings down a lot of other jobs submitted by other users, I look
 bad. I guess even if there was some good tool support, this task is
 doomed to make everyone unhappy.

If you have no money for an upgrade, your hand is forced. You have several 
choices... 

1) Do nothing, pray that your users don't exceed disk space available. If you 
have numerous customers and your average usage is far below quotas, this is 
likely to work. 

2) Change your TOS to account for the rare case where you actually run out of 
disk space. Sorta like number 1, but more honest. 

3) Reduce user quotas so you'd never overcommit. 

4) Offer a premium service to high-needs customers to help cover your costs. 

5) Dump your high needs customers and keep everybody else happy. 

That's pretty much it. (shrug) 

It's probably out of place for me to question your adminstrative decisions, 
but are we really talking about imposing limits to one of the cheapest things 
that there ARE in computer serviceland - disk space - at an average cost of 
about $70 per TERABYTE of commodity storage? Even if you went with SAS drives, 
the price only rises to about $150 per 750 GB - just how much space are your 
end users likely to need?

Maybe you can't afford to throw in another disk drive and mount as your /home 
directory, but more importantly, can you afford not to?

[CentOS] Netinstall NFS using local server.

2011-01-04 Thread Lisandro Grullon
Dear CentOS community,
I have install centos via CD, DVD and Directly off the net via http and FTP. 
Now I want to do a NFS install from a local server and a client. Both, client 
and server are in the same vlan 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0. 

The server has a static 10.14.10.15 address and the client gets its own address 
via DHCP. I download the DVD image from one of the mirrors and placed it under 
/centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso which is a dedicated 
partition on the server to hold all images. After that I exported the usual 
entries under /etc/exports and reloaded NFS using /sbin/service nfs reload. 
This is what my exports file looks like:

[r...@zeus DVD]# cat /etc/exports
/centos-media/centosdvd64 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash)
/centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash)

After doing so, I also modified the entries under IPtables to allow traffic in 
111 and 2049 at the UDP/TCP level and restarted the service as shown bellow.

To take this in a slightly different direction, if all of your users 
more or less cooperate, you might slice out dedicated (real or virtual) 
resources to run jobs for them and add something like Hudson 
(http://hudson-ci.org/) to schedule/serialize the runs.  It is normally 
used to do 'continuous integration' builds whenever code changes in a 
source control system, but it can really control any jobs you want with 
a variety of triggers across multiple cross platform nodes.  With this 
approach it might be possible to share/reuse the same space, gathering 
the results at the end of the job instead of having users competing, 
each using up their own space.

Did you actually mount the ISO file, to expose the directory structure
to the netinstall script? I don't think it can read ISO's directly,
but I could be wrong?

Right up until an update for Perl itself is pushed - and then you will 
find all your packages gone. If you need to tweek, use cpan2rpm to 
generate rpms. I've generally found the issues are tied to man files - 
so if you suppress the man file generation in the spec and stick with 
perldoc for a module's documentation you can generally work around the 
conflicts.

 Dear CentOS community,

 The server has a static 10.14.10.15 address and the client gets its own
 address via DHCP. I download the DVD image from one of the mirrors and
 placed it under /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD/CentOS-5.5-i386-bin-DVD.iso
 which is a dedicated partition on the server to hold all images. After that
 I exported the usual entries under /etc/exports and reloaded NFS using
 /sbin/service nfs reload. This is what my exports file looks like:

 /centos-media/centosdvd32/DVD 10.14.10.0/255.255.255.0(ro,sync,all_squash)

 After doing so, I also modified the entries under IPtables to allow traffic
 in 111 and 2049 at the UDP/TCP level and restarted the service as shown
 bellow.

Did you actually mount the ISO file, to expose the directory structure
to the netinstall script? I don't think it can read ISO's directly,
but I could be wrong?

*Don't*. From painful experience, the NFS is very fragile to local

reported on the NFS server, which makes getting meaningful monitoring

Oh, dear. This sort of thing is requirement is why you simply run a

nominally slower, but the difference is hardly noticeable.

 Right up until an update for Perl itself is pushed - and then you will
 find all your packages gone. If you need to tweek, use cpan2rpm to
 generate rpms. I've generally found the issues are tied to man files -
 so if you suppress the man file generation in the spec and stick with
 perldoc for a module's documentation you can generally work around the
 conflicts.

This is why http://perl.arix.com/cpan2rpm/ exists. It's very handy for
precisely this sort of situation.

It doesn't protect against advanced modules that are now part of the
base Perl deployment, or that used to be part of it, but it was
critical to my development of the first complete Bugzilla RPM's, and
invaluable for submitting .spec files to RPMforge or EPEL.

 Hi Akemi,

 Thanks for the tip :)

 If I put Johnny's code in my .rpmmacros it works, but I get this warning:

     error: Macro % has illegal name (%define)

 I have solved with this change:

 # Helper variable that defines CentOS release number, http://goo.gl/dkGUg
 # This macro is based on Johnny Hughes's freenx.spec, from extras repo
 %rhel           %(/bin/rpm -q --qf '%{VERSION}' centos-release)

Hmmm.. You might befit from the portability of this approach

%rhel   0%(/bin/rpm -q --f /etc/redhat-release -qf '%{VERSION}\n' )

Notice that this now works with RHEL and CentOS, and the \n keeps
certain programs historically happier with the commands having an EOL.

 Why you post the same message on different mailing lists? Here at
 Ubuntu users

 Clearly this person thinks that a) all OS technical discussion lists
 are unbounded resources for asking any old question, regardless of how
 it applies to the OS in question and b) this is how to do one's
 homework - have someone else on the web do it for you.
 
 Perhaps we should just ignore him/her.


Perhaps they should have the moderation bit set.

Re: [CentOS] Converting to maildir

2011-01-04 Thread Devin Reade
I've been happily using and deploying Cyrus based systems for over
a decade, so I'll jump in with my $0.02.

 Many people care about storage format.

It was mentioned previously that Cyrus IMAPd uses an internal format.
Well, it happens that that internal format is really just the mail 
message itself, one per file.  This means that incremental backups
are extreamly effective, including for *huge* mailboxes.  It also
means that if you feel you need to, you can go in as root and read
the message directly.  Mailbox repairs are done by reparsing the 
original email.

Cyrus is solid, scalable, fast, portable, and all the other adjectives
you'd want from a production mail store.  That includes being able
to run it in a master/failover HA cluster, BTW.

An observation was also made about large numbers of small files.
Yes, you do have to be aware of inode allocations and the behavior
of your underlying filesystems with any system that doesn't use
monolithic mailboxes. Grep and wc can help you figure out how much
that should concern you based on your existing mail store. Cyrus
can mitigate the inode and filesystem performance issues by
having mailboxes spread across different filesystems.  If you run
a system with a truly large number of users, then consider Cyrus
Murder for horizontal scaleout.

I find that pairing Cyrus IMAPd with sendmail, horde, MailScanner,
clamav, and a few assorted antispam mechanisms is a really good
combination.  (I'm not saying that postfix or whatever is bad,
but don't sell sendmail short, either.)  That combination can
exist on a single host, but doesn't need to.  In fact, in a few
installations I have multiple sendmails doing remote delivery
to cyrus via network-based lmtp (all locked down, of course).

Regarding quotas, cyrus will take care of that for you at the MDA
level; you don't need filesystem quotas.  (And in fact, because
all files are owned by Cyrus, a filesystem-based quota wouldn't
work anyway.)

Jason, if you decide to go with Cyrus and need advice on integration
with sendmail (since you obviously want to stick with it), drop
me a line privately.

Devin

More likely, its his 1972nd alias used for bogus questions on random

Re: [CentOS] yum update troubles

Benjamin Franz said the following on 04/01/11 21:42:

 Right up until an update for Perl itself is pushed - and then you will 
 find all your packages gone. If you need to tweek, use cpan2rpm to 
 generate rpms. I've generally found the issues are tied to man files - 
 so if you suppress the man file generation in the spec and stick with 
 perldoc for a module's documentation you can generally work around the 
 conflicts.

You are right about the problem about update. That's why I put every Perl
library I install on a server in a script that invokes either yum or CPAN to
install/update/document the installed libraries.

I will give cpan2rpm a try, thank you


Ciao,
luigi
