We needed to do some advanced configuration on a new Slackware install over SSH, but as Slackware install DVD only boots a busybox environment, the procedure for setting up an SSH server required some reading.

Ok so we needed to test the funtionality for Terence's shiny new oneNET fileserver based on ClearOS. We set up the 2x 1TB Seagate SATA3 drives in RAID1 mode, for those awkward times when drives tend to not co-operate with humans.... So now to test this wonderful technology which, in case you didn't know, constantly writes a copy of your data to another drive in case the primary one fails. We yanked the second drive from the machine and rebooted, works as expected. Yanked the first one and...... system would not boot. Connundrum it seems.

Happy at the recent (re)opensourcing of the old ClarkConnect - now ClearOS, we did the rounds upgrading some of our client's legacy servers. Terence built a nice rackmount core i7 server, using an intel Sandy Bridge D67CL mobo, supporting 32GB DDR3, USB3, SATA3, ESATA-2, (dm)RAID 0 - 10 and gigbit ethernet, 2TB Software RAID.
ClearOS 5.2 installed with no problems, although we initially got some stack traces relating to the Linux Software/MD raid.
So this is where the fun began. The older 2.6.18 kernel did not see the rather recent Intel 82579lm based Network Card on the DH67CL motherboard.

Easy Postfix & Scalix integration |

Here is a single server, 10 Minute Postfix Conf that works well with Scalix 11. This config is especially suited to servers which are NATed, uses the ISP's SMTP relay to send emails and doesn't have any sort of split dns running.
Tested with 11.x on Centos 5
Original idea attributed to gareth - http://www.scalix.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5791&highlight=postfix with mods by myself, mainly in the transports section and more details w.r.t the scalix config editing.
Enjoy !
