I also suggest not to store the aliases on mysql (--disable-valias when compiling vpopmail), otherwise it's not possible to create aliases with qmailadmin. Enabling sieve rules is convenient also because users can completely manage their accounts from within a webmail (roundcube for instance). not yet, BenV.

Did you manage to find a solution yet? Getting rid of the .qmail-default files can be done with a single find command, but I'm not sure if that's a smart thing to do. I haven't changed my own server to use sieve by default yet, but when I do I'll come back on this. Hej roberto67, thanks for your comment. Did you manage to find a solution yet?

At the end I suppose you wanted to let all users and virtualdomains use sieve rules. In that case, as you know, you had to edit qmail/control/defauldelivery but unfortunately the .qmail-default in the vpopmail/domain directory overwrites this file so that is necessary to clean .qmail-default in each domain, which is nuisance. Any idea on how to overcome this? Thanks for the guide, benv. At the end I suppose you wanted to let all users and virtualdomains use sieve rules.

Clockmod gives me 8 from 3.2GHz to 400MHz. Just because someone deemed that my processors too slow for me to use this, despite the fact I've been using it just fine for ages?! Thankfully it's open source and very easy to undo if you're building your own kernel/modules, and so I thought I'd share what I found cuz it *%#! annoyed the hell out of me too. If you run: cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_transition_latency you will notice the latency is 10000001, which I thought looked highly suspicously like someone had hardcoded that number somewhere to be 1 more than a max number set somewhere where the ondemand/etc would work. You can find it in the file (assuming kernel sources are in /usr/src/linux) : /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/p4-clockmod.c If you search in that file for the number 10000001 in that file, decrease it by one to 10000000, and recompile the module (if you have p4-clockmod compiled as a module; if it's linked into the kernel you'll need to recompile the kernel and reboot). I have found that changing the up_threshold of the ondemand governor from its default to 40 makes it ramp its speed up when I need it to, and stay there until it drops back down again. With my usage pattern it's not making these switches very often, so any delays in changing the speed are perfectly acceptable -to me-.

It sounds like you either forgot to enable IPv6 forwarding on your dom0 (the stuff in yellow above, echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding), or maybe it's a firewalling issue. Make sure ip6tables isn't blocking anything. I haven't tested my patched scripts on older Xen versions, so it could be that there's a problem in those. When you ping your dom0 from your domU, can you see anything coming in when you run tcpdump on your dom0? It's always hard to diagnose these problems without actually being able to check stuff on the machine :) Good luck! Hej IainKay, thanks for commenting.

I'm using CentOS with Xen 3.0.3 and vif-route (your patched script). For IPv4 I have the IP address set to 94.23.159.153 and the gateway is also 94.23.159.153 with a netmask of 255.255.255.255.

"bash bla" is my way of running configure, so just do ./configure there. Getting it to use the old version is done by altering the LD_FLAGS option in the Makefiles to point to /usr/local (where you installed lm_sensors 2.10). If you run into any problems please let me know, I'll try to help, but I do need some more information as to where and how you get stuck :) Good luck! :) The step for step is pretty much in the purple colored box.

I'm trying to do exactly the same thing. Running Slackware 13 x86 and I get the same error as you do, but your instructions in the colored box are hard to understand for me. I installed lm_sensors 2.10 on top of 3.1 for snmp to compile, but I don't know get it how to force make file to use the old version. Could you write a step for step how you did it, or maybe email me at rollese@gmail.com with instructions? Thanks! Hi!

GG is something that keeps these kinds of games from being hacked and loosing money... so yeah.. good for Aion. I'm sorry that Aion chose to prevent hackers, and sorry that linux failed to provide proper "EMULATION" of a windows based program. I'd suggest invest in another operating system... Maybe hmmmm... Windows. You dont see me sitting here complaining about how I can't fucking run Knode under cygwin cause it ain't god damn made for it.

However, no 64 bit binaries indeed..... and no source either. And if you want to change options you're out of luck as well. (no plugins). But it's nice if you just want to play and have a 32 bit OS :) Yeah I’ve toyed around with pSX quite a while ago, seemed like a simple to use emulator.
