Comment on exim / remove (all) frozen messages from queue by Scott Prive

Learn exipick — it is AWESOME and far more flexible than exiqgrep.

expick is 100% options compatible, so this still works:
exipick -z -i | xargs exim -Mrm

… but you can also construct complex queries involving spam scores, Subject (or any other header or exim variable) and you can combine all these selectors in one command.

Comment on Nagios 2.x Plugin check_mrtgtraf buggy? by Biscui

I notice in the output, the performance data has “in=” for both the incoming and outgoing rates.
looks to be around line 200

fperfdata(“in”, adjusted_incoming_rate, incoming_speed_rating,
(int)incoming_warning_threshold, incoming_warning_threshold,
(int)incoming_critical_threshold, incoming_critical_threshold,
TRUE, 0, FALSE, 0),
fperfdata(“in”, adjusted_outgoing_rate, outgoing_speed_rating,
(int)outgoing_warning_threshold, outgoing_warning_threshold,
(int)outgoing_critical_threshold, outgoing_critical_threshold,
TRUE, 0, FALSE, 0));

The second fperfdata should have “in” changed to “out”

Comment on More OpenSource virtualization by pille

for version 1.4 of PVE there’s a port for 32bit-CPUs.
obviously those CPUs don’t support KVM, but at least you can run OpenVZ-containers on your old hosts and join them in the cluster.

Comment on Prevent SSH Brute Force attacks by mm

i do this with denyhosts (http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/) since, in case of emergency, and if you need like more than 3 terminal_sessions to a server (this happens sometimes, but it happens) and you dont think about your limit then … shitty

denyhosts checks auth.log, detects the ips with false ssh_pw/user-ceonnections and blocks these ips (very simple, via /etc/hosts.deny) for ssh for XXX days/weeks/months and so on.

i run it on differenmt machines for years now, no problems

Comment on exim graphs by mex

hi there,

just tested this script with postfix on an old suse 10.2 (sic!); worked so far
except some minor changes:

line:55 >= this works only with the trailing |

## delete the last character (the last | isn’t wanted)
#SEARCH=`echo $e | sed ‘s/.$//’`

i also made some modificatiosn for the filters to fit for postfix/rbl_rejects:

# ALL accepted mails
# might be too: “delivered to mailbox”
ACCEPTED=`echo “$CONTENT” | grep ” status=sent ” | wc -l`
#
# ALL blocked mails
REJECTED=`echo “$CONTENT” | grep ” reject:” | wc -l`

nice script, though
