I actually found out this was a horrid bug in civicrm that caused this problem. Basically I was porting over a site from another hosting company and civicrm caches some executable information in the database and it just blindly tries to call core functions based on that db entry which was causing th...

another php 5 upgrade thread, psa 8.1.1 (and psa 8.2)

one machine is centos4.4, the other 4.5, both returning the same errors trying to update to php5 through the atomic channel. I've read the other threads in here but the resolutions haven't helped me. yum install php-pear results in php-common dependency errors: [root@ds5 catalog]# yum install php-pe...

good point, perhaps time to google the latest lmsensors rpms to log some temp data. Although I'm not convinced it isn't a software level issue.

unexplained automatic server reboots on new plesk 8.2 server

Hey guys (and gals?), I recently setup a new Plesk 8.2 server, running on a centos 4.5 OS, 64 bit SMP kernel. I've three times now experienced an issue where the server for no apparent reason has rebooted itself. No messages in any logs that I can find. The only semi-common thread I can find between...

If checking which IP addresses are connecting to your SMTP is enough you could also just run something like this: grep smtp /var/log/secure No, that wasn't enough for me. I needed to know who (as in username/password combination) was logging in over SMTP. That was the only way for me to determine i...

identifying who is logging into your SMTP server on psa

Posting this here in the hopes that it helps someone else. I was having an enormous problem with my mail server on a psa 7.5 system. Everything was up to date, however my qmail processes would always basically bring the system to its knees. I suspected that one of my users may have had their passwor...

Been a while since I posted here but I've got a question hopefully someone can help me with :) I'm migrating a server running psa 7 to a server running psa 8.01. The psa 7 server is very tight on disk space, only about 4GB free. I am unable to use the migration manager to move the (single) domain ov...

That rule is dropping traffic on the return side to the spammer. Which works, but you'll get better performance applying that to the INPUT table, like this: iptables -A INPUT -s 80.99.151.140 -j DROP Mike and I are working on adding in the TARPIT rule to ASL, which would go one step farther, rather...

one liner to find/stop possible spam activity

This has been a problem more than once for me, so I wrote a quick one liner to help sort out trends from the /var/log/secure file. This script will print out a list of IP addresses that have connected via smtp at least 100 times. This was very useful for me as I found two IP addressed that were fill...

Anybody know if it is possible to modify either the xinetd.d/smtp_psa or any other file that would include the username of the user who is logging in via smtp when it is logged into /var/log/secure? Currently it only gives the ip address, which is helpfull to track abusers (in my case, one of my cus...
