SMTP greet_pause
by tim＠denmantire.com 24 May '07

24 May '07

I'm using the greet_pause feature in Sendmail 8.13 to delay giving the smtp banner by a couple of seconds. It's a great anti-spam tool. Unfortunately, it's confusing hobbit: Service smtp on tolstoy.denmantire.com is not OK : Unexpected service response 554 denmantire.com ESMTP not accepting messages 550 5.0.0 Command rejected 221 2.0.0 denmantire.com closing connection If hobbit had waited 2000 milliseconds after the connection before trying to send, it would have worked just fine. Is there any way to insert a small delay there? -- Tim Boyer Director IT and Engineering Projects Denman Tire Corporation

Identical responses, different results
by hobbit＠epperson.homelinux.net 24 May '07

24 May '07

Two SMTP servers respond identically if I imitate the bb-services (send "mail" cr-lf, "quit" cr-lf) dialog using telnet, but give different Hobbit display results. [root at bump02 hobbit]# telnet 127.0.0.218 25 Trying 127.0.0.218... Connected to 127.0.0.218 (127.0.0.218). Escape character is '^]'. 220 SMTP ESMTP mail 501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters scanning "" quit 221 2.0.0 p1ie.pen.k12.va.us closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. bb-service expects "220", but Hobbit gives a yellow ball and shows banner: Service smtp on p1ie is not OK : Unexpected service response 554 p1ie.pen.k12.va.us ESMTP not accepting messages 550 5.0.0 Command rejected 221 2.0.0 p1ie.pen.k12.va.us closing connection However, [root at bump02 hobbit]# telnet 127.0.0.206 25 Trying 127.0.0.206... Connected to 127.0.0.206 (127.0.0.206). Escape character is '^]'. 220 SMTP ESMTP mail 501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters scanning "" quit 221 2.0.0 pen3.pen.k12.va.us closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. Here Hobbit correctly gives a green ball and shows banner: Service smtp on pen3.pen.k12.va.us is OK (up) 220 SMTP ESMTP Any idea why it would give different results for identical client responses?

[hobbit] msgs - Multiple ignore patterns
by craig＠cookitservices.com 24 May '07

24 May '07

While we are asking questions about the pcre handling... Has anyone managed to use a rule with spaces? ie. LOG /var/log/syslog "%disk full" COLOR=red I have tried using quotes, escaping quotes, escaping spaces, etc. Nothing has worked. Reduced to individual words to get something working.

Hello all, This is my first Hobbit client install and while it looks like all the pieces are were they should be I keep getting this error message /users/hobbit/bin/hobbitclient.sh: /users/hobbit/bin/hobbitclient-TvoPT.sh: not found I have tracked it down to the "uname -s" in the "hobbitclient.sh" script. While this seems to run fine as root, and as the hobbit use if I su to hobbit. It however doesn't like being started this way " su - hobbit -c "/users/hobbit/runclient.sh start" Here is the out put from the script with debugging turned on. # $Id: hobbitclient.sh,v 1.17 2006/07/06 09:07:53 henrik Rel $ # Must make sure the commands return standard (english) texts.

OT: CentOS mem usage.
by tlp-hobbit＠holme-pedersen.dk 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hi all, Totally off topic question but I guess here are at least 1 person with the right answer. On my CentOS server I have 2 GB memory, however hobbit shows me that the used memory is slowly being used and never freed. How can I determine which application has the mem leak ? Doing a lot of ps commands only produces a list of processes with less than 1% mem usage. TIA /Thomas

Different SMTP results, same dialogue
by hobbit＠epperson.homelinux.net 23 May '07

23 May '07

Checking two SMTP servers through an ssh tunnel. They both respond identically if I imitate the bb-services dialog using telnet, but give different Hobbit display results. [root at bump02 hobbit]# telnet 127.0.0.218 25 Trying 127.0.0.218... Connected to 127.0.0.218 (127.0.0.218). Escape character is '^]'. 220 SMTP ESMTP mail 501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters scanning "" quit 221 2.0.0 p1ie.pen.k12.va.us closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. But Hobbit shows: Service smtp on p1ie is not OK : Unexpected service response 554 p1ie.pen.k12.va.us ESMTP not accepting messages 550 5.0.0 Command rejected 221 2.0.0 p1ie.pen.k12.va.us closing connection and gives a yellow ball. Next, [root at bump02 hobbit]# telnet 127.0.0.206 25 Trying 127.0.0.206... Connected to 127.0.0.206 (127.0.0.206). Escape character is '^]'. 220 SMTP ESMTP mail 501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters scanning "" quit 221 2.0.0 pen3.pen.k12.va.us closing connection Connection closed by foreign host. And Hobbit shows: Service smtp on pen3.pen.k12.va.us is OK (up) 220 SMTP ESMTP and gives a green ball. I know tunneling is not the standard practice, and I'm not sure why Hobbit has an incomplete RFC2821 command as part of its test ("mail" is invalid by itself), but with identical responses, I'd expect the same results on the monitor matrix. What am I missing?

Changing (text) colours on all webpages
by dortsen＠gmail.com 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hi All, If I wanted to change all the used colours on all webpages, what places should I check? I have changed the background gifs and all the text and background colours located in the ~hobbit/server/web directory. I have also changed colours in hobbitserver.cfg (the part that determines how bbgen generates webpages). But still some generated pages (mainly tables) have a different background and text colour than the colours I specified. Are some colours hardcoded or haven't I searched hard enough? Thanks in advance, Dennis

files check for symlink
by Mike.Rowell＠Rightmove.co.uk 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hobbitites, Is it possible to use the FILES check to check is a file exists and is a symlink, in our architecture we use symlinks for a live/fallow setup on some systems switching between the directories during certain tasks, what I need to check is that a file inside the current live directory exists and is a symlink.
