[Vserver] Localhost definition problem with Postfix/Amavisd-new
Dear all, Today I write to Herbert because I lost my mail account password, but now I retrieve itso I have a question to ask you. I have Debian Etch with a vserver, having a base host and two vservers. One of these vservers has a LDAP server with localhost mapped to a private non-routable IP and it runs OK, and the other vserver has a mail server using Postfix/Courier/Amavisd-new/Spamassassin/Clamav, where I map localhost to 192.168.0.1 (another private non-routable IP). But I can't put the mail server to work because the Postfix can't establish a connection to the amavisd. Because of the variety of components I suspect that amavisd-new, spamassassin or clamav are hardcoded to 127.0.0.1, so I can't use a private non-routable IP as localhost. My question is: do you recommend to me to map localhost to 127.0.0.1 as usual in my mail server (vserver) because some mail packages could be hardcoded ??? Or is it OK to continue using localhost mapped to 192.168.0.1 defined as the localhost interface of my vserver Thanking in advance, Alejandro ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

[Vserver] Gentoo and hashified files
Hi, Does anyone successfully use vunify/vhashify with Gentoo-based vservers? If so, could you share some pointers to getting started, as well as possible pitfalls, e.g. related to emerging new packages, having different USE-flags and such? Cheers, Einar S.

With a size of 64m it works for me. Thanks to all for solving this topic!
