Server :: Fedora Sending Mails From Root With Non-root Account?

Jul 14, 2011

I've started to get emails that would typically come from [URL] as [URL]. These emails come from services that send out emails (backup programs) directly, or from cronjobs. I've logged in as the non-root account and either sudo su - or su - to root and the restart the service at one point or another. If I login directly as root and bounce the service or cron the emails come across as from root. I don't see anything in my environment variables after I su to indicate what would cause this. I'm not sure where else to look? A pam setting? This seems to have happened between Fedora 10 and 14 (did a bunch of overdue upgrades recently) I've only got Fedora so I don't have anything to compare to. In Fedora 10 I did not have this problem.

Server :: Sendmail Sending To Root

May 10, 2011

I've searched high and low for an answer. This seems so simple...

Domain = chadmccan.com
Server 1 = admin.mo.chadmccan.com
Server 2 = leroy.mo.chadmccan.com

Email for my domain is handled by Google Apps. MX records point there, I receive a ton of email there.I have 2 systems. admin.mo.chadmccan.com, which is designed to be the "gateway" for all services, including email.On the same network, is leroy.mo.chadmccan.com. It's just an application server, for random apps, including a webserver.I just want all of my systems to email anything that goes to "root" to blahblah@chadmccan.com relaying via admin.mo.chadmccan.com. Is this impossible?

General :: Using SSH To Log Into A Non-root Account Using Root Password

Feb 10, 2010

I am trying to log into a server with a particular account. Let's say I don't know the password for that account. Can I do this using ssh? I am wondering if it is possible to do it in one command, instead of logging in as root and running su.

Server :: Stop Root Sending Email To A Private Address?

Nov 4, 2010

system is RedHat v4. I removed root: admin-name@domain from /etc/aliases then ran /usr/bin/newaliases.

The admin does not get the emails but now the email generated by the cronjobs is being sent to my-name@domain outlook email from "root@localhost.localddomain". No other changes were made. Where should I start looking for the definition of sent crontab email to my-name@domain?

I have Centos installed as part of Strongbolt on a Cobalt RAQ550 Machine. The Admin password and the root password is supposed to be identical. However, I can only login as admin.

Server :: Create Backdoor Account To Use To Get In If Divulge Root Password

Nov 23, 2010

I have a Debian VPS webserver running a forum, and I'm currently looking for a secondary tech-admin. Since they'll have to have the root password for the server, I'm looking for a way to create a backdoor account that I can use to get in if they divulge the root password, or go crazy and lock me out. Is there a way to do it?

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?

Ubuntu :: Root Job Sending Multiple Emails?

Feb 25, 2010

I have an rsync backup job scripted and run by cron at 12:00 every day. It emails me the log from rsync. The problem is that it sends the same email every minute starting at 12:00 and ending at 1:00. I can't figure out what I did to cause this. It is not happening on my other ubuntu server.

Code:
# m h dom mon dow command
* 12 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /home/barry/bin/backup.sh > /dev/null
Code:
#!/bin/sh
rsync -aut /usr/share/library /mnt/backup/WordPress > /home/barry/backup.log

Fedora :: Can't Login Into The Root Account: It Returns Me Immediately To The Login Prompt?

Jan 27, 2010

I just installed Fedora 12 on a laptop. I changed the default shell on the root account to /bin/tcsh and changed the runlevel to 3 and then rebooted. Now I can't login into the root account: it returns me immediately to the login prompt and I can't see any error message (the screen is cleared).Why is this happening?Can I boot into some sort of safe mode so I can undo my changes to the /etc/inittab and /etc/passwd file?I tried booting with a Live CD with the intention of mounting the filesystem and making the changes, but the new filesystem is a LVM and it won't let me mount it (or I don't know how to mount a Logical Volume).

I created a new user "www". I can login with this user. I can send emails (using sendmail) from this user to other users. But this user cannot receive any email. All emails sent to "www" will go to "root" mailbox. Is "www" a special account under sendmail that all emails will be re-directed to "root"?
