No self compiled postfixit appears to be something with the MDA. If I
tell postfix to use procmail it works just fine. However after doing some

[CentOS] Mail Question

2011-06-27 Thread Bo Lynch
Hello everyone,

Im having a issue that I just cant seem to figure out. We currently are
running an email server Centos 5.6 Postfix/Dovecot with a squirrelmail
frontend. I was setting up a testbed to do a migration to SoGo using
LDAP/MYSQL/POSTFIX/Dovecot. I have everything up and functional but one
thing is giving me an issue. The testbed box will not handle a users
mailbox over 2gb. We are using mbox on the existing server with no issues
at all. I have multiple users with inboxes over 2gb and and archive mbox
file with over 50gb. I have check postfix and made sure that the
mailbox_size_limit = 0
Both are running i686 as returned by the arch command and both are Centos
version 5.6.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 Did you checked the ulimits? Try adding:
   ulimit -f unlimited
 to the postfix/dovecot init scripts.
 Also if you are chrooting postfix or dovecot, check the limits in
 /etc/security/limits.conf.

Added the ulimts -f unlimited to both init scripts. Same issue. Also

If you are running a SMP kernel then it should be able to run either 2 or

 Will clustering not work with certain apps? We have a couple mysql
 dbases,
 oracle database, smb shares, nfs, email, and web servers.

 Each app has it's own best way to provide the redundancy and
 auto-failover and it's own set of tradeoffs of the added complexity vs.
 the possible reduced downtime if the primary fails.

 I'd balance the options against the low-tech method of having raid
 mirrors in swappable bays with a spare similar server chassis or two
 around plus regular backups kept at a different location.  The raid lets
 you continue in the likely event of a disk failure so you can repair it
 at a convenient time.  Other failures (motherboard, power supply) are
 less likely but can be handled by swapping the drives into an alternate
 chassis (and with Centos you'll need to re-assign the IP addresses that
 are tied to the old NIC mac addresses) with a small amount of downtime.
   And the backups cover things like operator or software errors (that
 would wipe a cluster too) or a building-level disaster that destroys the
 disks or the primary and spare chassis at the same time.  Some apps may
 be worth the effort to do better.

 If you are looking at VMware, ESX(i) is the nicest of the bunch but
 moderately
 expensive for the full version that does clustering and live moves - and
 you
 also need a highly reliable iscsi disk server.  But even the free version
 is
 very nice in terms of the management tools, low overhead, and the ability
 to
 overcommit the host's RAM.  You could start by building shadow copies of
 most of
 your servers that could be activated as needed, with perhaps a few being
 live
 with application level failover (heartbeat, drbd, database replication,
 etc.).
 ESXi is also a nice lab framework for testing new thing.

 Here is a comparison of VMware ESXi and Server notice that server
 doesn't cost money.

 http://www.vmware.com/products/server/faqs.html

 both are proprietary
 there are a lot of good FOSS alternatives such:

 KVM (require a modern hardware)
 Xen (need a patched kernel: available in centos repos)
 OpenVZ (need a patched kernel: available in openvz repos, mainly for
 VPS but personalty i use it)

 Philosophically, I don't see how running on ESXi virtualization is any
 more or
 less proprietary than running on IBM (Dell, etc.) hardware  directly.
 Unless
 you are just being pedantic about it, the main thing to consider is
 whether or
 not you could move your application elsewhere easily if you had to live
 without
 the unique proprietary features of any platform.  And you can, if you pay
 attention to how things work.  In fact there is some standardization being
 done
 in the virtual containers, and I'd assume VMware is a leader in that.

 Depends on the hardware, ideally esxi, though it is very
 picky about hardware.

 And you should budget for it, storage will be a big concern if
 you want to provide high availability. A good small storage
 array(few TB) starts at around $30-40k.

 Have you investigated any of the mostly-software alternatives for this

 Hi,

 I have to solve an apparently simple permission problem, and I don't
 know if it's the sunny weather or birdsong, well... I just can't figure
 it out. Here goes.

 I have a bunch of users in a public library. Some are administrators:
 they handle the library, write the docs for everyone, etc. Then you have
 the agents, who take care of lending books and fetch them when they
 get returned. And then you have the odd anonymous user, using the PC
 with a guest account.

 Let's make thing simple and start out with one machine. Every single
 user has a /home/user directory. Plus, I added the following
 directories:

 /home/pub

 and

 /home/echange

 Then, I created two groups, administrators and agents. Here's what
 I'd like to achieve (but I think my IQ is just below the required limit
 :oD):

 1) Members of the administrators group have unlimited read/write
 access to /home/pub and below.

 2) Members of the agents group have read-only access to /home/pub and
 below.

 3) All the others (that is, members of neither administrators and
 agents) have no access at all to /home/pub, not even for listing the
 directory content.

 The thing is: I can't seem to formulate my problem in terms of
 user/group/others, as there are no owners, but two distinct groups
 involved.

 Any idea how to crack that nut?

 Niki

You might want to use ACL's or access control lists to set multiple users
and groups with specific permissions. Take a look at
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialManagingGroups.html. This is
a decent tutorial and I'm sure there are many others if you google linux
ACL's.
Hope this helps

 Migrate what data exactly? Is winbindd/samba your domain controller or
 is it on a Active Directory Server?

 Caveat is you don't need winbindd. If you using winbind with AD then
 save your *.tdb files. Depends on your situation totally. Kerberos cache
 come to mind also. You smb.conf also. Just to migrate user data none of
 the above is needed. This answer you ? ?. As far as I know UID and GID
 is the only way to inter operate with AD...

 JohnStanley


The situation I'm in is that this box is joining to a win2000 PDC using
samba+winbind for setting permissions on files and dir with domain
users/groups. When I do a ls -l I just see the uid or gid instead of the
domainame+_user domainname+group which is causing samba not to know who
owns the file.

[CentOS] Port Forwarding woes

 To me it looks like it should work. When I try and do a telnet on the
 port
 number I get a connection refused. Is using an alias a problem?


 It should, and does, work, even with an alias...

 The fact you are getting connection refused suggests that the traffic is
 going somewhere and responses are getting back, rather than disappearing
 into a hole, which is good...
 Are you sure traffic to that address is getting to your eth0 interface and
 not going to another device or being blocked by your router?
 Capturing traffic using tcpdump while testing would confirm this, i.e.
 tcpdump -i any -n port 5071 would show packets coming in on eth0 and going
 out on eth1 if everything is working, or only coming in on eth0 if
 something
 within this box is preventing forwarding, or nothing at all which would
 show
 that the traffic wasn't even making it to your machine...

 d
 ___
I think I found the culprit but not sure if by taking this out it will be
a risk. When I remove this statement things work
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -m state --state NEW, INVALID -j DROP

If I drop the NEW it works. Should I be concerned from I security stand
point?

 For the cut part of the task, I will suggest avidemux (from ATrpms).
  The blur part will require more powerful editing software such as
 cinelerra (from RPMforge).

Akemi,

I have loaded cinelerra from rpmforge but I'm having a really hard time
getting the avi to even show up in it. I open cinelerra and go to
fileload files and select the avi video but nothing shows up. I know this
is a valid file because I can play it. Is cinelerra capable of editing
already created AVI?

[CentOS] Question about sub-domains

2009-02-18 Thread Bo Lynch
We currently have a web server that is running apache on cent 5.2.
We are upgrading our student info system so that it allows web access and
the vendor (powerschool) is stating that this has to be a registered
domain or a sub domain and only runs on Windows Server. My question is can
you tell apache to point a subdomain to a diiferent IP address. For
example, Our domain is currently amelia.k12.va.us. If someone goes to
powerschool.amelia.k12.va.us it points to another IP other than itself?
I have no experience with sub-domains so any input would be greatly
appreciated.

 Hm. Zimbra does _that_ very well IMO. Supports IE+FF+Safari, at least
 for the webmail-stuff.

 I'm not sure if the Open-Source version actually supports the
 Outlook-stuff (we use the commercial version and I don't use Outlook
 anyway...).

 I'd give Zimbra a try. It's relatively easy to setup, at least for a
 demo-case where you are not interested in customizing all the logos.




 Rainer


 

Should I be concerned with the Licensing structure down the road? Meaning
in your opinion do you think that zimbra will close its door on the open
source model. Just don't want to demo something get everyone excited about
using it and have to migrate to something else.

 zimbra is pretty much of a closed box in that they have already decided
 what / how / where you will run stuff and no, you can't run anything
 other than the way they have decided it unless you decide to put a box
 in front of the zimbra server to receive mail first before you pass it
 to the zimbra box.

 zimbra is also not a lightweight system by any means.

 There are a lot of schools running Horde/IMP/etc.

 Craig


I have been looking at both and the thing that concerns me with zimbra is
the closed box scenario and the EULA. I was assuming that its was license
was going to be GPL. But its YPL Yahoo. Does anyone think this is
something to be concerned with in the future? Meaning down the road zimbra
closes its open source edition?

What does Horde really lack from zimbra?

Just wanted to get some thoughts from the list.

We are a public k-12 school and are looking to migrate to a groupware
style system for out staff to collaborate better. Currently we are using
Squirrelmail/postfix for email. Does anyone have any

 Zimbra works quite well. How many users do you have?

 One detriment I've found is that much of it's backend relies on Java and
 requires some serious tuning for installations with a large user base.
 Also, the logging facilities use MySQL and can cause huge performance
 issues especially when running consolidations/stat generations.

 You'll definitely want to look at a multi-server setup for that. Put your
 mail/web services on one box and database/LDAP on another. Also, for such
 a large installation you may even want to look at their commercially
 supported editions. Last time I checked (admittedly quite a while ago) the
 pricing wasn't too horrendous and I've heard good things about their
 support staff.

 We've always opted to go with the pure open source aka self-supported
 version but then again we're running installations with fewer than 300
 users. I believe our largest installation to date is ~100 users or so.

  Agree.  If you need multi-servers for 300 hundred users something is
  just designed wrong.   Unless you've got 300 intense power users.
 


 Even then...
 300 users should fit on a desktop-class machine (provided
 you've got enough RAM).
 Zimbra uses Java / Jetty and thus likes to have enough RAM.
 On a single server, I'd go with at least 8 GB of RAM.
 Go with 64bit Linux (AMD64).
 CentOS is not supported, but it seems to work nicely or now...

 My problem would be that a single machine is a single point of failure.
 We
 are looking at zimbra and using at least two machines utilizing GFS and
 our
 SAN so we can withstand a failure.  We have around 75 users but I am not
 willing to have email down due to a single machine failing.  (Btw, these
 would be virtual machines running on xenserver)

 Seeing as you are in education, if you are looking to actually pay for
 licensing a product and are actually interested in Zimbra, take a look at
 their hosted model.  It is only for educational institutions right now
 (not
 that I know if they will make the offering more widely available) and may
 fit the bill even more by not having to manage the hardware.

 My biggest concern is the long term viability of zimbra with the
 possibility
 of MicroHoo or someone else picking up Yahoo in the future.  I don't want
 to
 start something with that one, but for a business this is definitely a
 concern. I believe some of this has been addressed in their licensing
 language and there is always the the GPL version which would probably
 survive for at least a short while.

 Andrew



We would definitely be looking at a app for free in other words zimbra's
open source release. We are planning on using existing hardware that we
have. Currently we are running CentOS 5.2 with Pentium D 3.2 with 2gb ram
and 2 500GB SATA drives in a RAID. The motherboard that we have will
support a quadcore xeon if needed. Are setup now has no probs but we are
only doing basic email and calendar within squirrelmail itself.

 Zimbra isn't too bad in terms of resources.  We have it running on a
 system
 with several hundred users, primarily doing e-mail on a system with a
 single Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz and 4GB RAM.

 My primary gripe with Zimbra is that it wants to take over a machine with
 its own versions of openldap, postfix, amavisd, clamav, etc., and these
 are
 not always kept current.  We have one Zimbra system running as a VM under
 the free VMware server, allowing us to screen incoming and outgoing e-mail
 with current versions of amavisd and clamav before passing it to the VM
 for
 final delivery.

 Zimbra also works independently of the Linux user system, which some
 consider a feature, but I don't like as I like to be able to handle many
 things at the user's $HOME directory level.  In particular we normally use
 courier-imap with Maildir storage, and our own server-side filtering and
 routing before delivery.

 I've just been mucking about with this stuff. If you'll provide more
 information, maybe I can help. Many folks ignore requests with no
 substantive information because it wasts so much time trying to get the
 information needed.

 For me, if you use rpm -qsplat whatever else you want to list the
 adobe plugin file installed, that would be a start.

 Under ~/.mozilla are one or more files named pluginreg.dat. Their
 contents would be useful. The find command will help you locate them. If
 you have multiple default directories there, which one is your active
 one? Just get information from that one.

 If you have edited your preferences, list the settings for those that
 may be related: what do you have for download actions, under

 be useful and related.

 How much money do you have?

 On a small scale, running VMware ESX3i or VMware-server is perfectly

You use the + operator with authentication with winbind on a windows

you can add the user accounts with useradd with the /sbin/nologin option

you should use /5/ and not /5.1/ in your path. Please see this FAQ
concerning the CentOS release scheme:

If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 5.1

 This directory (and version of CentOS) is depreciated.  For normal

 you should use /5/ and not /5.1/ in your path. Please see this FAQ
 concerning the CentOS release scheme:

 http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34

 If you know what you are doing, and absolutely want to remain at the 5.1
 level, go to http://vault.centos.org/ for packages.

 So I just want to make sure that I'm understanding this correct. I
 should
 use the 5.1 original RPMS for my base OS and get my updates for 5.1 from
 the 5 folder Just sounds weird. Should I do the same for my 5.0
 release?
 Thanks for you help.

 You *don't* run 5.0, 5.1 or 5.2, you run 5.

 The point releases (5.0, 5.1, 5.2 etc) are simply snapshots in time of
 the CentOS 5 product life cycle where development was temporarily frozen
 just long enough to spin a set of install media.

 You should always get updates from 5 which is a link to the current (and
 only supported) release. This happens to currently be 5.2. If you were
 to get updates directly against 5.2 then when 5.3 is released you would
 get no more updates to CentOS 5 ever. This is why you should *never*
 link updates against 5.x and always 5.

 Note: 5 and 5.0 are not the same thing.

 Hope that helps :)


Ned,
So you are saying that I should point my yum clients to the 5/updates/i386
folder for updates correct? No matter if they are 5 5.1 5.2? Not trying to
be redundant...Just want to make sure that I'm understanding this correct
before I actually give it a go.
So my pub folder would have centos/5.1/os/i386 which would have the
original 5.1 rpms and I would set the updates repo to point to the
centos/5/updates/i386 right?
So all I really need to rsync is the updates from the 5 folder on the mirror.

 Yes, and see Akemi's earlier reply about symlinks for 5 - 5.x

[CentOS] Ideas for stopping ssh brute force attacks

2008-07-21 Thread Bo Lynch
just wanted to get some feedback from the community. Over the last few
days I have noticed my web server and email box have attempted to ssh'd to
using weird names like admin,appuser,nobody,etc None of these are
valid users. I know that I can block sshd all together with iptables but
that will not work for us. I did a little research on google and found
programs like sshguard and sshdfilter. Just wanted to know if anyone had
any experience with anything like these programs or have any other advice.
I really appreciate it.

Yup.
Unfortunately, my ISP's plan uses dynamic IPs, so I have to enter
various subnets to stay safe. :(

 If you do not allow password authentication and use good pass
 phrases on your identity, the only thing really gained by
 restricting on IP ranges is restricting the number of reject
 messages in your log files.  The fail2ban program does a nice job
 of limiting the number of rejection messages in the logs.

 Another possibility is to set up OpenVPN on your system, which
 authenticates on ssl certificates and works nicely even from
 dynamic IPs behind NAT.  Then you can ssh into the private LAN
 behind your firewall via OpenVPN.

Bill,

we have been looking at implementing OpenVPN to allow access to the
internal LAN. For a firewall, we basically have iptables with 2 nics doing
NAT. So would the OpenVPN server live inside of our private network and
just do some forwards with iptables on the firewall or would it be better
to implement it with by itself with 2 nics one on the public and one on
the private?

run ifconfig eth0:2 123.123.123.123 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
123.123.123.255
and if needed
route add -host 123.123.123.123 eth0:2
Change values as needed though...

Then set your ifcfg-eth0:2

If you run lspci it should display info about your pci bus.
