[CentOS-docs] Arabic Wiki
Hi guys, I'm a MAJOR fan of CentOS and its proven itself a lifesaver many a time in my professional and personal lives. I was hoping to help out by contributing to the wiki by translating as much as is possible of the wiki into Arabic. The thing is, the wiki is split into several ISO based country codes and there are 22 countries where Arabic is the national language, do I pick one in specific or is there some way, that I am certainly not aware of, where we can lump them all into one? I'd hazard the same thing applies for Spanish (Latin countries and Spain) amongst other languages that abound this rapidly browning Earth.

I was hoping to help out by contributing to the wiki by translating as much as is possible of the wiki into Arabic. The thing is, the wiki is excellent place to start from. split into several ISO based country codes and there are 22 countries where Arabic is the national language, do I pick one in specific or is there some way, that I am certainly not aware of, where we can lump them all into one? I'd hazard the same thing applies for Spanish (Latin countries and Spain) amongst other languages that abound this rapidly browning Earth. The wiki and the region sub-sites are meant to be split based on language rather than region (eg. JA for Japanese rather than JP for Japan ); so in this case the ISO636-1 code for Arabic is 'ar' which would then apply to all Arabic content. If there are region specific differences ( eg. Chinese traditional and simplified ), then we can do an ar_regioncode section.

Yes, that is it. I just commented the ListenAddress lines with # and let it use defaults which seems to make it listen on all networks again.

Re: [CentOS] postfix and spam, I am impressed

Not sure how far out-of-the-box goes but: Not free: The Zimbra Collaboration Server Appliance is the Zimbra email and collaboration solution delivered as a VMware virtual appliance. The free open source edition is not too complicated to install (even I could do it ;) - Download big tgz - Extract big tgz - Run install script and answer a few questions. = Everything installed in /opt/zimbra It uses its own postfix/cyrus/clamav/mysql/httpd/ldap/java... The upside is that everything component is already setup to work fine with each other. The downside is that it feels like a big huge blackbox that seem to work fine so far, and you are dependent on VMware for security updates... Of course, you still need to tweak the conf for things like: - adding specific SSL keys - binding only on a specific IP - authorize relaying - etc... Configuration seems to be totally scriptable. But I had to create scripts for automated backups (full, users mailboxes, mysql, ldap). So far so good (need quite some RAM thx to java). But I do not have many mailboxes (less than 100) and so went with the simple standalone setup. JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I find that LVM snapshots are useful to insure data integrity. for example, I backup my mysql databases by stopping the mysql server, taking an LVM snapshot and restarting it. The whole snapshot process probably takes less then 15 seconds. Then I backup the snapshot LVM and it doesn't matter how long it takes. You must make sure that your snapshot volume is large enough that you won't run out of space before deleting the snapshot.

But you don't need to do that, you can just use a subnet chart or stick to /24 ranges where the first 3 octets are different for different subnets and you netmask is 255.255.255.0.But first you need to decide what you want to do - will both the server and clients have separate NICs for NFS?

At least from what I read, the failure rate is much lower for the same drive used under the later conditions. OTOH I remember reports about drives failing to start after having been powered off for extended time periods. Something about heads sticking to platters or somesuch. Though I don't know if that information still applies to current drive technologies. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Though I don't know if that information still applies to current drive technologies. Some high-density tapes will fail if you drop them on the floor. I think we can all agree that any media type has the potential to fail, which is why we use multiple copies on different physical media, so if one fails you still have another one. If you are storing all of your backups on a single tape/disk/cd/dvd/bd/holocube, you are doing it wrong.

[CentOS] postfix spam question for the gurus
Hello, I have a question about postfix. I have a few webservers, each with their own mailing system. Obviously manually adding items can be quite tedious going from one to another to another. I am in the process of making a list of domains (commercial spammers) that bother me. My idea is to use the access file to reject them. My question is this... Can I make a text page on one of my html servers that lists all these bums and reference that file in the postfix smtpd restrictions (probably as regex or prce instead of hash)? This way I only have to make one big page of them. And I can add a 'you be blocked m.f. because of spamming me on the page so they can learn how to get unlisted. can this be done or do I need to make my own rbl list (obvously limited to just my sites).? I would think I could just reference a remote file as easily as a local file? -thanks bob ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

You can use postfix database format that is compiled into your version of postfix. Run 'postfix -m' to display what formats your system supports. See man regex_table for the format of the regex files. I would be careful about where in the file system your postfix server is reading configuration data from. I like to keep my config files in a secure place, in a system directory. Nataraj This way I only have to make one big page of them.
