Thanks, I thought that should be the situation. I am not using password server so I know that is not the problem. Still when I enter the information into OS X Mail I get the message,

“The IMAP server “192.168.1.99” rejected the password for the user “mkjellman””

I know I am typing the correct password and user because I can login with that information. The real interesting thing is that if I type a bogus login as the login it still gives the message above. What did I do wrong? (Why does this need to be so hard lol ) 😉

Just FYI: I was never able to get Postfix installed and operational under that instalation of 10.2.4 server. I ended up doing a clean install and install postfix before I upgraded any parts. I used Postfix 1.1.12 at first. Then once it worked I upgraded server, upgraded postfix, and upgraded Bearkly DB.

The NetInfo database name is the tag name, e.g. network.
The information contained by a NetInfo database is called a domain. The domain name is a logical name.
At the top of a NetInfo Manager window you se tag@host to the left and the domain name to the right.
The domain contained in the network database is the top domain in a two level NetInfo hieracy and therefor called root (/)

Check the mail tab for the user in WorkGroup Manager.

There will be a spot to put in the server that the user lives on. Make sure that this is your server’s IP address.

Hi Joel:

Thanx for your help. I’ve solved the problem. The field you mentioned was filled with “xxx.xxx.net”. I changed it to the internal IP instead and it worked. May I ask why? Please advise, thank you.

1) Yes

2) I’m not familiar with the wildcard lookups and where i would define them. Please let me know what i have to do for these lookups.

But let me just reemphasize something while I have the chance. Whenever I enter that virtual tag, all out going mail thru the SMTP server is refused. As in the debugging code above, it seems to try to verify the senders domain in the virtual router. It is weird to me, but maybe that is the correct operation? Well, let me know and thanks for all of your help thus far.

Humm …
Tested yesterday and OSX defaults to SHA1 digest , while freeswan is using MD5.
Moreover agressive mode is on by default (which if I remember well freeswan don’t like)
Apparently all this is supported under OSX, the only thing is to find how to configure it 😀

Ok, in /etc/mail/virtual, i have two files, pacificswell.com, and sandpiperdebs.org.
Within the sandpiperdebs.org file, I have

However, i feel this is insignifigant because even if i send a message to ANYONE else, even to an address outside of my server, it fails in the same way as shown in the code above. In my exim configure file, I only added to the Router section, as follows:

dnslookup:
  driver = dnslookup
  domains = ! +local_domains
  transport = remote_smtp
  ignore_target_hosts = 0.0.0.0 : 127.0.0.0/8
  no_more


# The remaining routers handle addresses in the local domain(s).

virtual:
  driver = redirect
  domains = dsearch;/etc/mail/virtual
  data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/mail/virtual/$domain}}
  no_more

system_aliases:
  driver = redirect
  allow_fail
  allow_defer
  data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
# user = exim
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe

userforward: 
  driver = redirect
  check_local_user
  file = $home/.forward
  no_verify
  no_expn
  check_ancestor
# allow_filter
  file_transport = address_file
  pipe_transport = address_pipe
  reply_transport = address_reply


# This router matches local user mailboxes.

localuser:
  driver = accept
  check_local_user
  transport = local_delivery

With that virtual section in there, all mail fails to be routed through the Exim SMTP server, but with it removed, it works fine (to non virtual domains). Please tell me if this helps and/or if you need more information. Thanks again.

Btw- i will play with SSL/TLS later after i get this working.

Any clue on what kind of ipsec implementation your linux uses ?
FreeS/Wan ?

There is no option for an internal hardware RAID on Xserve. You can’t install an ATA card for this because the drive modules can only connect to the Apple ATA controllers.

You can of course add a SCSI or FC card and attach an external HW RAID.

Regarding CPU load for SW RAID, on Xserve this is not significant. However, mirroring does reduce throughput (though not substantially). If you need maximum performance + redundancy, you have to go with an external HW solution, preferably level 5.

If a drive dies on Xserve with SW level 1 RAID, you have to take the volume offline. If it’s the boot volume, this of course means rebooting from another disk. So yes, it’s not optimal. Check out some of the third party solutions like SoftRAID or NX-RAID.

I suspect the folks at an Apple Store won’t really have any info on this.

However, it looks like the answer is a fat-out no.
Go to http://www.apple.com/xserve/raid/
and download the first of the two listed PDF’s (“Data Sheet”). Page 3 of the PDF outlines the different configs available, and they ALL use the 180 GB drive modules.

Thanks for this tip – most helpful.

Never mind. I just found the article.

Doh!

I think I need another beer to think.

I would really appreciate an in-depth article on virus scanning on OS X Server such that I don’t ever have to go to the machine to do anything with it.

I have the opportunity to swap out a Win2K server with an Xserve and XRAID, but want to provide the client with some virus scanning. Their desktops will remain Win2K/XP machines, so scanning on the server side is a requirement.

Thanks!

So under the password options in Workgroup manager set that drop-down menu to password server? if so, I already have that in effect, so the rumor might just be a hoax.

I had to remove the old libperl.dylib from /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE and _then_ reinstall Perl 5.8.

Thanks anyways..
