Resolution.

Scripting, Day One, Lesson One:

When writing a script, be sure to put full path names so that you can be
sure it'll run from cron or from a user which doesn't have the same
environment as you.

[SLUG] Cron + CD-R wierdness

[Craig Mead]

G'day,

Explanation

Got a cron job which runs @ 7pm every week night to backup folders in
/home/shares (smb shares).
When run manually (/etc/cdbackup) everything works fine, and the CD burns
with the right datestamps on the tar files.

The cron job does run, cause theres an  eject /cdrom line at the end of the
script, and the CD does eject itself.

However when left to its own devices it doesn't appear that nothing gets
written to the CD, even tho the output off the screen is the same as when
executed manually.

Related files for reference are below

TIA.


--- start /etc/cdbackup dump ---

#!/bin/bash

DOCOMPRESS=YES
DOIMAGE=YES
DOBURN=YES

clear
echo -e " COMMENCING DAILY BACKUP =\n\n"

cd /home/shares
rm -f *.cd
rm -f *.tar
touch `date +%a-%d%m`.cd

if [ $DOCOMPRESS = "YES" ]
then
  echo -e "Compressing "
  echo -e "Store1 Data"
  tar czf store1.tar store1/
echo -e " Finished\n"
fi

if [ $DOIMAGE = "YES" ]
then
  echo -e "Deleting previous nights CD Image File"
  rm -f cdimage.raw

Fair enough.

You might still find it convenient to look at IMAP client libraries rather
than thinking in terms of the mail folders.

eg if perl suits you then Mail::IMAPClient 's migrate method looks like
the sort of thing you are after.

You would have to be able to handle the authentication stuff.

Re: [SLUG] Converting courier-imap Maildir to Cyrus Maildir structure

[mkraus]

Erm... (Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong...)

Don't Courier, Cyrus and Maildrop all use the same format - ie the Maildir format.  (Courier made Maildrop which can be used with Cyrus, right?)

Have you copied the dirs, and taken a shot at seeing if they just work?

Warmest regards

Mike

[SLUG] Converting courier-imap Maildir to Cyrus Maildir structure

[Gonzalo Servat]

Hi All,

Does anyone know of a way to convert Courier-IMAP Maildirs (including 
folders) to Cyrus Maildir? Cyrus uses numbers for each message (ie 1. 2. 
3.) so renaming them is trivial, but does Cyrus then simply scan the folder 
for all emails when a user logs in or do you have to run some command to 
re-write the Cyrus index files for that folder?

I guess converting folders and the rest wouldn't be too hard either using 
Perl. I'm trying to switch to Cyrus without causing any disruption (eg, I 
don't want emails to appear as 'new' next time the user logs in)

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SLUG] Win4Lin & MYOB - is it really this bad?

[mkraus]

Thanks for the acknowlegement Stu,

MYOB can be a tad tricky because of that... I find the create-mask, directory-mask and force-group options of the MYOB setting to be useful. (Unsure that group permissions are set correctly.)

Once you know it though, it's a breeze...

Warmest regards

Thanks Mike

In summary. Mike's point fixed this problem and now the multi-user 
access to MYOB is faster under Win4Lin than from a Win98 PC. This I like.

The problem was back to good old permissions. It's still a bit unclear 
why Samba which assigns file permissions as the user logged on was 
different to the user logging on directly and assigning file permissions 
from win4lin.

I've redefined the umask so that it will not happen again.

Re: [SLUG] Linux box hanging on startup

[Dan Banyard]

Hi,

They obviously set things so I could not reboot or find out what is going
on.  The first thing I discovered was that they had change the index.html
file on the web server - I thought something had gone astray so rebooted and
that is when it all started.

I never surfed the net as rootand thought I had the box locked down -
only open ports were the normal ones (80, 21, 22) etc.  I have no idea how
they got in but maybe it was through SSH (I might have a older version that
could be hacked).  There was no telnet or anything like that.

I still can't believe it

Robert Collins had a nifty little program called mailfile that he used to

wrapper around mail(1).

Hi Dan,

Wow, that's amazing that it happened so quickly, and a very annoying hack,
with symptoms the same as a failure to boot correctly.  It would have been
worse if you did not find out.

Also, did you surf the net as "root"???

Not sure if this helps anyone but so far I have found:

/var/log/message -> /dev/null
/var/log/wtmp -> /dev/null

They also created an HTML page called services.html and in it:

"YOU WERE HACKED!!!Welcome to ParadoX's Web`s Page"

there is also a whole load of other crap (some in Spanish/French or similar)

I am just about to re-install the OS

Your right. My 'mail' on Linux does not mention attachments.
Pine can do it though using the -attache file command line option.
Something like this:

Re: [SLUG] Linux box hanging on startup

Thanks for your help.

Just found the problem - it seems some nice individual has hacked into the
machine.  I found they have added HTML files announcing this fact.  This
explains the strange behaviour.  So who knows what they have done to the
system.

Looks like a day of re-installing the whole system.

Thanks very much to those hackers.

Re: [SLUG] Linux box hanging on startup

[Bret Comstock Waldow]

Hi,

You say "it stops" but really you need to say what it does - you're
assuming it stops.  For instance, it might switch to a video mode that
doesn't show you the prompt you expect and blithely waits for you to
login as you always have.

What do you see up until "it stops", what do you see when "it stops",
and has it ever worked before?  Is this a change in a working system, or
an install that didn't complete successfully?

If it was working, what did you attempt last (that changed something so
the outcome is different now)?

Cheers,
Bret

[SLUG] Linux box hanging on startup

[Dan Banyard]

Hi,

I have a linux box which is hanging when it boots up.  At this stage I am
not as to why this has happened (hardware or software) but I am trying to
work out what to do.  I watch it go through the boot sequence and when it
gets to the point where should give me a login prompt is just stops.

So far I have managed to restart the box in rescue mode (i am using SuSE
7.2) and can successfully mount the hard disk.  I am really trying to find
information on what exactly is going wrong.  I have been looking through the
/var/log files and nothing jumps out.  I realise there could be a million
things going wrong but can anyone think of where I can look for clues?  Does
anyone know of anyone who offers a good linux doctor type service?

thanks in advance

They did have the SLUG disk - the last few times that I have visited

Re: [SLUG] Win4Lin & MYOB - is it really this bad?

[Stuart Guthrie]

Thanks Mike

In summary. Mike's point fixed this problem and now the multi-user 
access to MYOB is faster under Win4Lin than from a Win98 PC. This I like.

The problem was back to good old permissions. It's still a bit unclear 
why Samba which assigns file permissions as the user logged on was 
different to the user logging on directly and assigning file permissions 
from win4lin.

I've redefined the umask so that it will not happen again.

Stu

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Stuart,

If you're accessing the data file locally, check that the permissions 
for the files and directories are the same as if from samba.

MYOB achieves filesharing of data files via lockfiles, if one user 
 logs into MYOB (creates a lockfile), and the other user can't read or 
modify that lockfile they will not be able to use the same MYOB data 
file under MYOB.

I hope this is clear, and from the looks of things, its probably 
what's happening. (Ie. you access locally and it locks other users out 
as they don't have the priveleges to read/modify the lockfile.)

Subject:[SLUG] Win4Lin & MYOB - is it really this bad?



Just wondering if anyone else has a major performance issue with running
Win4Lin Server edition (within that MYOB Premier Accounts).
I'm accessing a samba network drive from within the copy of win4lin so
that the MYOB data can be shared across a company. This works OK for
Win98 clients accessing the data, speed is OK. From Win4Lin, it sucks.
Performance is about 1/5 the speed or worse.
Accessing MYOB data directly from Win4Lin to file on same Linux Box is as
fast as I could expect. Unfortunately, this will not allow the MYOB 
data file to be
shared with the other users. Only accessing via MS Networking will 
allow this and that slows it down big time.

I've also emailed support @ Netraverse but so far (ie 3 days ago) no 
response.

As an alternative, has anyone tried crossover office with MYOB in 
Network 'file share' mode?

Stu

Technically no. The ssh client advertises the public keys that it thinks
it has matching private keys for, so the suggestion is eminently
feasible. Just a SMOP.

m, contemplating dusting off keymgr.

I used/set it up once about 4 years ago.

I probably prefer gnats to RT, but gnats is *heavily* email based so
probably only suitable for power users (ie: people who are comfortable
with text).

We use RT at work and it works fine. The extent to which you can
customise it (if you know perl) is a big plus - we've done all sorts
of rude things to it (makes upgrading to RT3 harder though ;)

(re interface: I think the "dense" interface is a plus too, since the
people who use it use it every day.  We don't have casual "guest"
users like an open-source project might have)

You can get a version of ghostscript to write to the VGA screen if
your terminal is a VGA device, and you have svgalib installed.

gs -sDEVICE=vga file.ps
will display your postscript on the VGA screen.
