a question on open relay??
by BIJU KRISHNAN 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Hi All, Could you pls analyze the following transcript of my session with a remote server and help me judge whether the server is in some sense an open relay...One thing abt the server is that it passes all anonymous relaying tests.....but what if i know two contacts on the same server.. ---------------------------------------------------- [root@bijucyborg root]# telnet 2XX.1XX.XXX.XX 25 Trying 2XX.1XX.XXX.XX... Connected to 2XX.1XX.XXX.XX. Escape character is '^]'. 220 COPSTOP.com ESMTP ehlo popa 250- COPSTOP 250-PIPELINING 250 8BITMIME mail from:xyz@COPSTOP 250 ok rcpt to:abc@COPSTOP.com 250 ok data 354 go ahead we went to school together . 250 ok 1099213953 qp 10543 quit 221 COPSTOP.com Connection closed by foreign host. ------------------------------------------------------ As I have observed the server accepts message from xyz@COPSTOP to abc@COPSTOP. 1. xyz and abc are two valid users on the system. 2. This session was carried from a random machine on the internet. If this is dangerous....assuming that i'am using sendmail, could u pls suggest a technique to stop this. bye rgds biju __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

2 cpus instead of one
by Keith Fernandez 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Hi, I have a few linux servers which in /proc/cpuinfo shows the number of cpu's, on some servers, however I have only one cpu but top and /proc/cpuinfo show's two. Any idea why does it show like this and what is a correct way for analysing how many CPU's are present on the system. Does this happen on only certain hardware, as I have noticed this on my SuperMicro and HP servers only. Thanks in advance... Regards, Keith

inode problem
by Keith Fernandez 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Hi, I have a mailing application running on RedHat 7.3, Every couple of months we have a problem with the inodes getting used up on the /var partition. There is a lot of space on the partition, However the inodes are used up by a lot of 0 byte files by this application. I just wanted to ask the gurus in the list, if anyone came across this problem and how they went about trying to solve it. I had to find out the 0 byte files in /var and then deleted the 0 byte files. Thanks.. Regards, Keith

Wanted: Tutor for UNIX, PERL/PYTHON in South Bombay
by Sid Mathur 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Wanted: Tutor for UNIX and PERL/PYTHON in South Bombay I must learn to use UNIX and to program in PERL/PYTHON -- my firm (a US bank) has some critical stuff on that configuration that I need to be able to manage. I have mild programming skills to fall back upon (although I am way out of touch with syntax, etc. and my regular job is that of a financial analyst). Ideally I would like to do this either over a few full-day sessions or part time over two weeks. I would be obliged if any of you can help, or can point me to someone who can. Oh, and yes, I would gladly pay for the tutorials. Regards, Sid _________________________________________________________________ The happening world of BPO!
