Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Debian Lenny)
Author: Falko Timme •
Tags: antivirus, debian, postfix •
Comments: 45 Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Debian Lenny) This document describes how to install a Postfix mail server that is based on virtual users and domains, i.e. users and domains that are in a MySQL database. I'll also demonstrate the installation and configuration of Courier (Courier-POP3, Courier-IMAP), so that Courier can authenticate against the same MySQL database Postfix uses. The resulting Postfix server is capable of SMTP-AUTH and TLS and quota. Passwords are stored in encrypted form in the database. In addition to that, this tutorial covers the installation of Amavisd, SpamAssassin and ClamAV. I will also show how to install SquirrelMail as a webmail interface so that users can read and send emails and change their passwords.

It also displays the percentage of time the thread/process spent while swapping in and while waiting on I/O. In addition the total I/O bandwidth read and written during the sampling period is displayed at the top of the interface.

Getting High With Lenny
Author: randall •
Tags: debian, high-availability •
Comments: 0 Getting High With Lenny The aim here is to set up some high available services on Debian Lenny (at the time of writing still due to be released). Most of the documentation available for such a setup I found on the net are based on Xen but I prefer to use Vserver for the "virtualisation" because of its configurability, shared memory and cpu resources and basically the raw speed. DRBD8 and Heartbeat should take care of the availability magic in case a machine shuts down unexpectedly.

Desktop Search In Ubuntu Intrepid (And Debian) In KDE 4.2
Author: Stephan Jau •
Tags: debian, desktop, ubuntu •
Comments: 1 Desktop Search In Ubuntu Intrepid (And Debian) In KDE 4.2 Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 features an inbuilt desktop search. Unfortunately I never managed to get it to work right and I tried a lot of things. So I finally went on irc.freenode.org into the #strigi channel and asked for help. Lucky me Phreedom in there gave me a helping hand. Why Nepomuk doesn't work by default is still a mystery. I think this is related to Redland instead of Soprano. Unfortunately, as Phreedom told me, the Ubuntu and Debian maintainers don't supply Soprano with the current builds. Also his recommendation is to use KDE 4.2 (Kubuntu 8.10 comes with KDE 4.1).

Port Triggering Using A NAT Firestarter Firewall And Specter In Debian/Ubuntu
Author: jeff_k • Tags: debian, ubuntu • Comments: 0Port Triggering Using A NAT Firestarter Firewall And Specter In Debian/Ubuntu Many that play PC games, such as battle.net, need to be able to set up port triggering. Typical "hardware" routers have the ability to set this up from online menus. However, using a Linux PC to perform your router functions can provide much more control and versatility than can be realized with a "hardware" router. All of your NAT (network address translation), firewall, and port forwarding functions can be implemented by iptables, the de facto firewall in Linux versions 2.4.x and 2.6.x.
