Of course, it will not.

He should know about his system. It was valid advice by Toby and the OP =

doesn't. There was no need to react that snappy.

It's simpler for non-experts to change the postfix configuration than to =

change the sendmail configuration. So, why shouldn't he not suggest it?

You should then contact their support. It got to work.

Well, it's not his fault:

Roadrunner is not meant for mailservers. I have been blocking them already =

dmesg|tail
you knew that, did you ;-)

Also, you can do
tail /var/log/dmesg
but the result is the last buffer.

well, I see some going also to secure, those which fail. Maybe not on =

CentOS 4, though. But this kind of format is the same on CentoS 5.
I'm not sure what this kind of login is but when I check myself I get

dovecot-auth: pam_unix(dovecot:auth): authentication failure; logname=3D =

uid=3D0 euid=3D0 tty=3Ddovecot ruser=3D rhost=3D::ffff:127.0.0.1

Look at the end.
But I also see other failed logins (not from me) without the host.
I think you should investigate further on the dovecot list.

As you already know the package name (mlocate) - why don't you use it?

You need to "yum provides /path/to/file". As you don't know that path you =

would use search: "yum search locate" or "yum list" in case you at least =

know parts of the package name.

This is really all RTFM and RTFW(iki).

provides is doing the same as whatprovides. However, there are quite =

path:

yum whatprovides system-config-network
system-config-network.noarch : The GUI of the NEtwork Adminstration Tool

yum whatprovides /usr/sbin/system-config-network
system-config-network-tui.noarch : The NEtwork Adminstration Tool

no. 1 depends on no. 2.
