SpamAssassin false positives on DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_Q?
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

I mentioned this problem at the last round-table session, but didn't get a solution, so I thought I'd post it here, just in case anyone has any suggestions to offer. I'm still seeing a whole bunch of false positives in SpamAssassin, since an update was installed in mid-September on a CentOS 5.7 system, for a rule called DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_Q, which is only supposed to be triggered when the "Date:" header has a date that is 4 days to 4 month ahead of the date in the "Received" header that … [View More]

Load average under RHEL 6.x systems?
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 11 May '12

11 May '12

Howdy folks! I asked this at last night's meeting, as my "stumper of the month", but didn't get any solutions or leads. So, I thought I'd ask again here... After upgrading many of our systems, both workstations and servers, from CentOS 5.x to Scientific Linux 6.x, I'm seeing higher load averages on idle systems than I used to. Under EL5, loads would drop to zero and pretty much stay there most of the time for idles systems. Under EL6, the load might drop down to 0.1, but doesn't stay … [View More]

Well - I recall we've had this discussion before ... ... but, because I've been digging up some old information, I did some more checking .. the oldest email of mine that i could find has the following headers on it -- way back to May of 1983 .. sheesh .. 29 years ago ... now -- back to work ....

burn-in software
by Trevor Cordes 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

I've been having problems lately with vendors selling me shoddy H67 boards which freeze/crash/reboot. I'd like to start "burning-in" all boards I receive for 24+ hours to weed out the bad ones right away. What's the best software for doing this? Preferably free (or cheap). Ideally it would hammer the CPU (get it nice and hot) and on-CPU GPU (some 3D work). I don't really need to hammer the drives (wouldn't want to with SSD's anyhow!). It would be great if I could have both a live-CD … [View More]

strange NTP problem on one of 3 peers
by Gilles Detillieux 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

I have a weird problem with clock drift that just started to happen today on one of my Linux systems. I was wondering if someone on the list has some NTP experience and could help me solve this puzzle. I have a group of 3 systems operating as peers, and they've been keeping time well for years. Yesterday I upgraded them from Scientific Linux 5.7 to 5.8 (an RHEL 5.8 clone like CentOS 5.8), and rebooted them to the latest kernel on SL 5.8, 2.6.18-308.4.1.el5. I rebooted 2 of them … [View More]

Opinion on digital tuner hardware
by Mike pfaiffer 09 Apr '12

09 Apr '12

I saw an article on Slashdot the other day which suggested it might be possible to get some hardware using the RTL2832U chipset for $11.00. A quick search of Google seems to indicate it is fairly well supported with Linux. Since the article was about Software Defined Radio (HF) rather than the TV part of the device I was wondering if anybody locally had tried it out... I would guess apart from the article, the only info I'd be able to get would be about the TV part. What are the ranges of … [View More]
