Fedora :: Root Mail Going To My Boss / Undo It?

Jan 14, 2010

I just started a new SysAdmin job on Monday Jan 11, 2010. My predecessor left before I joined the company with NO documentation. All of the system mail (alerts, error messages, informative messages, etc.) that's going to root is being redirected to my boss. I checked .mailrc and /etc/aliases for an alias that would equate root with my boss, but couldn't find anything. My boss doesn't want to be receiving these emails. Where else can the previous SA could have done this operation. How can I sub my email address for that of my boss' to be receiving these alert messages.

Fedora Installation :: Newaliases - Root's Mail Is Not Showing Up In My Local Mail Inbox ?

Jun 14, 2009

I just added my login id to /etc/aliases to forward root's local e-mail to my local e-mail account in evolution.

As always, when I make a change to /etc/aliases, I run newaliases. I now get the following, and root's mail is not showing up in my local mail Inbox:

Code:

Is this correct?

I understand my hostname (i.e., Eng-Lab-010) is not a fully qualified host name, but I never had a problem before. But it appears this not a good thing. What should I do?

Ubuntu :: How To Undo Password Set For Root

Jan 23, 2011

I was trying to reset my personal account's password in Ubuntu (via the root prompt in recovery mode),How do I undo the password set for root? From what I understand, it doesn't need a password, and I'm afraid I may have just ruined some built-in security feature that keeps root protected if you don't set a password.

Debian :: Forward All Root Mail To External E-mail Account?

Jun 28, 2010

The question is pretty much the same as the subject. I have a bunch of debian servers - most of them running exim4 default installations configured as internet site using dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config. It can send mails fine from php scripts and some other applications, but I can't seem to find a way to forward all root mail to some external address. I have tried adding "root: someaddress@example.com" to /etc/aliases and run newaliases command, but it doesn't seem to work.

I have installed Fedora Core 11 with SELinux enforcing.It appears (via log files) that if I use a .forward file in the home directory for root that SELinux prevents the use of this mechanism for forwarding e-mail.Is there a way to continue to use SELinux and be able to forward root's e-mail to an outside account?

Fedora :: Can't Undo Wrong Resolution In 10/Gnome?

Mar 28, 2009

setting a resolution that my monitor can't handle, and now I can't figure out how to get back to a setting that my monitor can handle. When I first made the bad setting, the screen went black except for an "Out of Range" message in the middle, and wouldn't let me see anything to put it back. I ended up going to a text screen with a <Ctrl-Alt-F1>, logging in as root, and rebooting. Now, I can use all of my other user IDs (root, KDE test, "email only," etc.) just fine, but if I log in to the one with the bad res. setting, it just blacks the screen and I have to reboot again. The xorg.conf file doesn't even have any options for setting resolutions any more, so there's no way to explicitly disallow the one I set, and "deleting" (renaming) xorg.conf didn't help.

Ubuntu :: Thunderbird Sends Mail Only When Started By Root?

Dec 23, 2010

I have 2 email accounts set up in Thunderbird - one is gmail and the other was given me by our server admins few years ago. Everything works fine on windows but when I try to send something from the second account (not gmail) in ubuntu it says that password is incorrect. Ive double checked all settings and seems like everything set correct. Now the most interesting part: when I set up this account as root (gksu thunderbird and then do same as I did under my account) everything works perfect.

I found only one thread at this forum with same issue and sure it's not solved [URL]..

Server :: Move To Maildir, Users Mail Owned By Root Now?

Jun 4, 2010

I recently made the migration from mbox to maildir.I use postfix, spamassassin, dovecot for imap and procmail for delivery.I made the changes for Maildir to postfix main.cf, dovecot's dovecot.conf and procmail's procmailrc.All good, working well.Just noticed though, that mail marked as spam and filtered by procmail to be put in the users ~/Maildir/.spam/new folder are owned by root. Not allowing the users to even see it (600 perms)

So postfix sends all mail to Procmail:
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
But not all mail is effected, only mail picked up by this receipe in the /etc/procmailrc:

Server :: Forward Root Mail To External Account Requiring Smtp Authentication?

Nov 3, 2010

I have one Centos Server and I want to forward root mail to 1 external account: [URL] I installed sendmail and created /root/.forward with this content: [URL] and I sent a test mail with this command: /usr/sbin/sendmail root <prueba.txt But nothing was forwarded.

After that I ran the same command with the verbose option:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -v root <prueba.txt

And this is the output:

root... Connecting to [127.0.0.1] via relay...

220 localhost.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Wed, 3 Nov 2010 21:09:39 -0600
>>> EHLO localhost.localdomain
250-localhost.localdomain Hello myfriend [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES

[code]....

For some reason sendmail tried to connect to example.com smtp server and couldn't reach it. I am sure this is because the smtp server for example.com domain is not example.com is mail.example.com. Besides mail.example.com requires authentication, username , password and the smtp port is not the default 25 is 9999. configure sendmail to forward root mail to a smtp server that requires authentication, username, password with a not the default 25 port?

Debian :: How To Undo 'rm' Command

Aug 26, 2010

I suppose I have a very common problem. While working on my project, I accidentaly hit 'rm file.tex' instead of 'rm file.aux' in the terminal of my Debian and now all of my work is gone. Could you please tell me if it is possible to undo this command? If soI should add that I am just a beginner in using the Linux system and though I have found some advice on my problem on websites, I am unable to follow it on my own. In other words I desperately need somebody to guide my through that process.
