[gentoo-user] cyrus-sasl 2.1.23 remote server rejected your credentials
Hi, Using Postfix and TLS for a MTA, my password is rejected. Here the log message: saslauthd[4358]: do_auth : auth failure: [user=u...@domain.com] [service=smtp] [realm=domain.com] [mech=rimap] [reason=remote server rejected your credentials] could it be a bug from cyrus-sasl 2.1.23 ? thx Laurent
[gentoo-user] cyrus-sasl 2.1.23 remote server rejected your credentials
ok, it's 3 days I'm tryin to fix my smtp connection, I have been through the whole configuration many times and getting the certificates also. The last thing I did is add this line again in /etc/postfix/main.cf: smtpd_sasl_path = smtpd which changed the error into a warning for postfix: warning: foo[b.a.r.x]: SASL PLAIN authentication failed: authentication failure then, same for LOGIN: postfix/smtpd[3962]: warning: foo[b.a.r.x]: SASL LOGIN authentication failed: authentication failure I used this howto at first: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/fr/virt-mail-howto.xml and it was working for a long time. I can post mor info if you need. thx Laurent
Re: [gentoo-user] cyrus-sasl 2.1.23 remote server rejected your credentials
Hi! I changed the restrictions line like you said: smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination but this way it will try to see if the ip is part of mynetworks first, and as it wont be it will reject or ... because my squirremail morks and I think it does not use the authentification but rather the mynetworks. Well.. :) here is postconf | grep smtpd_sasl smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = no smtpd_sasl_exceptions_networks = smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_path = smtp smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = $smtpd_sasl_security_options smtpd_sasl_type = cyrus I also now have all the authentification methods in the telnet EHLO response.

[gentoo-user] ftp user, local user, apache group
Hi, Now I've setup vsftpd with local user. For exemple I log with the user laurent, I create a folder via ftp. This folder is own by laurent, so it's not exessible via apache. How could I make that, like put laurent in a apache group? I don't really know how to play with groups and user, any good tutorial on that? Thanks Laurent
Re: [gentoo-user] ftp user, local user, apache group

Hi Franck Ok, after reading that I guess: I could create a 'connects' group and put my apache user in it. So apache will have control over the files in www own by apache:connects. set to 760 recursively, for exemple. And then add other local user to the connector group.

It runs as a non-ui daemon to which you can connect clients via network. Existing clients are: console, web and gtk+. I start the daemon and a web client on my server, and connect ether via web or with the gtk-ui :) It has no build-in tracker, but I recommend using a public one anyway (for example http://openbittorrent.com/). Bye, Daniel yes I was interested by deluge also. I also read about BTG that seems very good. I installed rtorrent with the default flags, no daemon, will see how it work with ssh first. schussy Laurent

Like launching an lil app telling the port to listen and then get all data travelling there?? You need to be a bit more precise about what you mean... If you are talking about client A sitting behind router B which interfaces with Big Scary Internet C, then it is trivial for the router B to have a transparent proxy or some other form of package re-write that redirects your traffic. If you are talking about client A and server B and server C then it is also trivial for server B to redirect all its traffic to server C. If you are talking about client A and server B and Bad server C and attacker D, I don't see how in general the attacker D can redirect traffic from B to C, unless D somehow sits on the only node that connects A to B (in which case you are essentially back to scenario 1). (Yes yes, there are DNS injections and what nots, but in essence they are just variations of scenario 1.) There are also other possible scenarios. So please describe in a bit more detail what you are thinking of and why you care. Cheers, W I was talking about the A,B,C,D case. You say this is not common or easy to achieve.

[gentoo-user] mail server
Hi Gentoos, I want to install an e-mail server solution, based on postfix. I'm reading this how-to: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/virt-mail-howto.xml From a level simple to complexe I would like a solution that is not to hard at first to have time, to understand the basics, and have it working, and that could then be easy to extend to a more complex situation like multi domain hosting. I first just need my apache to send mails via mod_php and mod_neko. Thanks for advices. Laurent

Yes, basically you can just invoke 'sendmail b...@domain.etc' and type message with all the headers you need - 'to:', 'from:', 'subject:' etc to stdin. Of course, every language has some wrappers to simplify that process. I installed and configured postfix. It sends mail localy and on external mailbox. !! I'm glad !! dig -x myip answer back my domain name. I don't know if I am being behinde a firewall. It's a dedicated server on a domain own by my host service. I don't get e-mail when replyed from external mailbox. security-wise: Is there any stuff to do, not by default, to secure my smtp server to not be used from outside ? For MTA: it involves installing a DNS server ? Not really. Your IP belongs to an ISP, and it's DNS server has the authority for that address. So, if anyone (e.g. mail server) is asking any (other) DNS server "who's that guy?", that DNS will go to your provider's DNS and ask "so, it's one of yours, who is it?" and it'll be in position to either return some valid name (that's rarely free), delegate the task to some other DNS (mostly the case with IP ranges, bought by some organizations) or just shrug, which is often the case with common users. So the answer is likely - "it won't matter, you won't get a name", but that's entirely up to your ISP. That said, there are always possibilities to use the services of (or set up) some relay server or buy dedicated IP and tunnel traffic through it, but that's quite beyond the scope of question, I believe. Tunneling traffic, I'll keep that for other spare time in the year :) L

[gentoo-user] MonetBD on portage?
Hi, I'm interested in trying monetDB, and it's not clear that it never has been on the portage. It's not there right now but when looking on google it's seems to have in the past. I should just download the source from monetDB on their website and compile or is there something to be done using the portage ? thx L
[gentoo-user] cleaning disfiles
Hi, I need to clean disfiles or move it to /home/var/ftp/disfiles. For first is there a tool to emerge that will manage the distfiles. If not I was thinking copy to my home folder and symlink /var/ftp/distfiles to it. Is the second safe with just a symlink or should I change a PATH somewhere? I should do both solution. thank you Laurent

If you need to clean out unneeded tarballs in distfiles, you can use
eclean. It's part of gentoolkit. eclean-dist is the command you are
looking for. eclean-dist -h for more info.
If you want to move the distfiles directory, you can change the path in
make.conf and tell it where the new location is. You will have to copy
the files from the old location to the new location tho.
Hope that helps.
Dale
:-) :-)
Yes it help, got 50 M clean with eclean.
I looked in make.conf but did not see any 'DISTFILES_PATH'. What should
I add?
my make.conf:
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that
automatically built$
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=k8"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Dale :-) :-) yes it's exactly that, I did not choose the install partitionning. So I moved portage, www and now disfiles from /var to /home/var. For the other ones I did add a symlink also.

So it looks like working.
Actually I'm trying to make apache send an e-mail via postfix. I went
through installing a complete virtual mail host but maybe I will go back
to a simpler way.
I got the smtp, pop, imap installed, I don't really need the virtual
host stuff. I could send email even before. hm. Obscure.
I'm using neko vm as server side programming, trying to make neko make
apache send an e-mail. I think my next step is to connect apache to postfix.
I'm looking into this, if you have any idea where I should look you're
welcome.
Thanks

Try this simple python script to check smtp capability of your server:

Just save it into some file like "smtp_test.py", replace "domain" with

It should show you whole protocol exchange between client and server,
along with ocurred errors, if any.

[gentoo-user] libgc and the 64 bit world
Hi list, this is my first post, I am new to linux so my understanding of the all thing is quite fuzzy. I am trying to install HaxeVideo on my gentoo server, 64 bit distrib. It needs libgc and throw an error at compile time because it can't find libgc.so.1. I checked the environment variable and ld.so.env contain the path to libgc, even the /usr/lib64 path. Anyone have an idea why libgc give some trouble and if it's due to 64 bit version ? Thanks L

[gentoo-user] Database only server
Hi, I'm looking for some information about the configuration for a server used only for a huge database. I guess dépendanding on which database server used Mysql or Berkley the hardware should not be same. Or is it all about having a lot of RAM ? Could I do that using only Mysql or is it possible to have Mysql and Berkley, or should I have just Berkley ... ? Happy new year!! Laurent

[gentoo-user] firefox - thunderbird integration
Hi everyone! I've been recently trying to make firefox and thunderbird work well together, i.e 1. make mailto links from firefox launch thunderbird 2. make url from thunderbird open in firefox After following a well spread trick, (described here http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/2005/01/firefox_and_thu.html) Doing (1) doesn't do anything at all. Doing (2) downloads the page as html to some temp folder, then opens it in firefox, but the images don't show correctly, certainly because they are not downloaded... Anyway that's not what i want. Any help would be greatly appreciated Peace.

[gentoo-user] slim login manager issues
Hi all, I'm having some issues with the slim login manager, which suits my very basic needs very well, except from those two things: * When starting, the keyboard doesn't respond quite well. The characters don't show on screen imediately, and sometimes, it gets even worse: it freezes for maybe 1-2 seconds, then the first key i hit gets "stuck", which basically means it repeats that caracter a fine dozen of times. * when i have to restart x, slim doesn't restarts itself up, i'm thrown back to basic console login prompt. Any help greatly appreciated. cya.

usually observed when the machine is switched on and the BIOS probes the

Re: [gentoo-user] msmtp vs. nullmailer
Hi, I like to use msmtp. I actually never tried nullmailer, but msmtp seemd a great choice. For the queue "issue" I can redirect you to a document created by a Gentoo dev on mutt [0]. Guy-Laurent Subri [0] https://dev.gentoo.org/~tomka/mail.html On Mon, Jun 08, 2015 at 11:47:04AM +0200, Marc Joliet wrote: Hi list, As part of removing now superfluous server functionality on my desktop, I replaced postfix with msmtp (and removed a bunch of other software). However, the portage default for virtual/mta is nullmailer. (I also switched my laptop from ssmtp to msmtp since ssmtp upstream has long been dead and has thus fallen out of favour with Gentoo devs [0].) Now, my reasoning for choosing msmtp was that development seemed more active. The last release of nullmailer was in 2013, while msmtp has had a release or two this year already. However, the nullmailer repository [1] has shown a bit of activity since the last release, though it looks fairly minor to me. However, the one thing that annoys me is that msmtp does not seem to have any sort of queue [2], so if it can't deliver an email, it must be resent, which is annoying for system emails. Now, I read that nullmailer has a queue (at both [2] and [3]). So my question is: what is your preference, nullmailer or msmtp (or neither?), and why? Is there anything that speaks against nullmailer, other than its (seemingly) slow development?
