Need adivce: moving from stock IMAP server to Cyrus IMAP. How hard is it?
by Apollo's list account
My users like to keep 500 to 1000 messages in their mailboxes and
average about 500K per message (we are a talent management company, so
there is lots of multimedia being exchanged).
So far I have been running whatever came stock with FC1, so I have
Postfix with WU IMAP running in that standard UNIX mailbox mode.
Can I keep Postifix and just change it to Cyrus IMAP style mailboxes and
install Cyrus IMAP? Or do I have to start from scratch?
Fortunately I have only 10 users, so I will have to deal with about 10K
in messages and about 150 sub folders.

Moving to cyrus mail from FC1 -> FC2
by Rajko Albrecht
hi,
as seen there is not the old imapd in FC2, and it did install the cyrus-imap.
Ok, but, when I login I can not see any directory formerly created, INBOX is
missing, too.
And in documentation of cyrus I didn't find anything about that, I thought it
should run out of the box.
So: can someone give a hint, how I convert all /home/<user>/mail to cyrus,
which way I must go, that cyrus will display the INBOX for that user, and
them don't get a "permission denied" when try to create a folder?
Meanwhile I use dovecot, but there are some other problems, too. (filter via
procmail, in cyrus I would make it via sieve and so on)
Thanks

Connecting into fc3
by David Fletcher
I've got two machines here, one running RH9 and the other running FC3.
I can use ssh or WebMin to connect to the RH9 machine from the FC3 machine. I
use firestarter to open the required port. And I have CUPS configured to
print from the FC3 machine to the printer on the RH9 machine.
But I cannot get a connection the other way around. Even when I try switching
the firewall off. And I know that WebMin is running on FC3 because I can log
in using localhost. The only communication I have achieved from the RH9 to
the FC3 machine is ping. It just seems to be completely ignore everything
else.
Can anybody suggest to me what I might be missing?
Thanks

Problem setting up printer on FC3
by Adam Mercer
Hi
Just installed FC3 and I am having some problems setting up my
printer, a Lexmark Optra E312. On running system-config-printer, I
click on New, a little box pops up saying "Loading Printer Information
Please Wait..." and then disappears. Then the egg timer mouse cursors
just sits there and the setup program does nothing.
Running system-config-printer from the command line I get the following error
[ram@skymoo ~]$ system-config-printer
sh: line 1: 5375 Segmentation fault perl -e

Any one have any ideas what is going wrong here and how to fix it?

GPS Ghostscript 8.15
by Xiaotian Sun
Hi,
I've been noticing that most Linux distro's only come with GPL
Ghostscript 7.07. But GPL Ghostscript 8.01 and 8.15 have been out for
quite a while. Is there anything (the License?) that prevents the
distro's to include the latest version? Or when will they start to
distribute these versions.

Apache and multiple Virtual Hosts best practices
by Eric Wagar
I have an Apache web server with a few virtual hosts. The ftp is handled by
proftpd, and I have multiple users defined. These users have their own uid
and gid. The problem comes when Apache is uid apache and need to write to
the said directory.
I am wondering what other people have done to deal with this. Do people just
set all the ftp users uid/gid to the same as the Apache uid/gid on the
system? Obviously this would be an ok solution because apache uid/gid !=
root.
What are the other ways you guys have dealth with this?
Thanks

Won't boot after upgrade FC2 to FC3 on Dell 2650, LVM problem?
by Deron Meranda
I have a Dell PowerEdge 2650 (dual Xeon) which was running FC2. I
upgraded to FC3 and after the first reboot it failed to start the
kernel. It looks like it is having trouble reading or mounting the
filesystems. The upgrade process itself went flawlessly. Also it was
initially installed/built with FC2, and no non-Fedora software had
ever been loaded on it.
For information this system has built-in hardware SCSI RAID. Except
for the /boot partition, the whole logical disc was set up to use LVM.
All filesystems within the LVM group were ext3. I've tried booting
with both the SMP kernel as well as the single-processor kernel, with
the same results. This is what appears during the initial boot text
(I copied this off the screen manually, so there may be typos)....

At that point the system was locked up and only the power off/on would restart.

New to Linux
by Mera Mottaleb
Hi,
This is my first time ever using Linux. I have just installed Fedora
Core 2. During installation, I put in the password for the admin using
the number keys on the right, with the num lock key on.
After installation when I try to login using the username:
administrator and the password I created, with the num lock key on, I
get a message saying that user name or the password is not correct. By
the way I tried it with the num lock key off too.
This was my second installation. First time when I had the same
problem, I thought I had put in the wrong password, so the second time
when I installed it, I made sure that I was using the right password.
Is it possible to change the admin password or to do anything that will
prevent me from reinstalling?
Thanks
