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:
[code:1:259d2e77ef]
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[/code:1:259d2e77ef]

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 [b:e897209e37]/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE[/b:e897209e37] and _then_ reinstall Perl 5.8.

Thanks anyways..

.. Ok, I removed /Library/Perl entirely and also the “PerlBackup” which the installer created, then I reinstalled from the Pkg. Still the same error though..

Even tried to reboot, as if it would help 😥

I meant “dc=” may not work with the local netinfo db. also, there has to be a mail= entry under the username in the netinfo db, which didn’t come out as clearly as I thought when I typed the other post, sorry, Dan

Hi,

I actually got this to work last night after some tinkering. I had to leave out the ‘dc=’ bits from the Address Book setup. Just ‘cn=users’ made it work, as long as there was a ‘mail=’ entry in the netinfo db. I made a /contacts folder in the netinfo db with a folder in there with a ‘mail=’ and ‘telephonenumber=’ entry and it also worked as long as I left out the ‘cn=’ entries in address book LDAP config.

cn= mabye doesn’t work with local netinfo dbs? That’s all I could think of.
hope that helps,
Dan

I’m trying this on 10.2.4 Client, without success.

I could browse the local Netinfo database using the 3rd-party LDAP app “LDapper”, but the local Addressbook application didn’t work. (I tried both adding properties in the /users CN, and making a separate /addressbook).

From another computer on the subnet, neither the LDapper nor the Addressbook worked, though the debug showed an attempted connection.

Has anyone worked this out? Is there any reason to think I can get it going on Client without too much difficulty?
