Postfix + Cyrus IMAP Relay access denied (state 14)

By -
Solving this problem was freaking easy. I just did add the user, must have the proper domain name link to your IMAP, like us, I have toytoy.is-a-geek.org.

So what I did, I just add first the user's e-mail address like for example:
echo "mypassword" | /usr/sbin/saslpasswd2 -p -u toytoy.homeunix.org toytoy@toytoy.homeunix.org
 Since I have the script to create an IMAP account for Cyrus, I just run

/path/to/imapcreate.pl -u cyrus -m "toytoy@toytoy.is-a-geek.org" -p cyruspassword -s localhost

then cd to the assigned virtual_alias file, if your postfix configuration doesn't modify or customized the default config, so execute (mostly /etc/postfix/virtual_alias)

cd /etc/postfix/virtual_alias
echo "toytoy@toytoy.is-a-geek.org toytoy@toytoy.is-a-geek.org" >> virtual_alias
which postmap virtual_alias
Then try sending e-mails, you can check the spool at
/var/spool/imap/domain/t/toytoy.is-a-geek.org/t/user/toytoy/2.
where "2." is the file.

Hope this helps!

Using sed with backreference as the replacement pattern

By -
Tinkering with sed, I have manage to try using regular expressions using backreferences using the most common \N where N is the number of position inside the parenthesis. Searches and replaces the zoo.color to zoo['color'] or zoo.animals to zoo['animals']: cat zoo.js | sed -E "s/(zoo)(\.)([a-zA-Z0-9]*)/\1['\3']/g"|less \1 = is the characters inside the first parenthesis w/c is the zoo \3 = is the characters inside the third parenthesis which involves alpha-numeric -E will interpret as regular expressions as extended (modern) regular expressions rather than basic regular expressions (BRE's) Another example, you can use this for replacing such a string let say, in a SQL statement, example SQL string: CREATE DEFINER=`mysqluser`@`%` FUNCTION `total`(cost DOUBLE, income DOUBLE, lng2 DOUBLE) RETURNS double And you wanted to remove  DEFINER=`mysqluser`@`%`  and allow  FUNCTION  to be a dynamic string so you'll just need to catch tha...

Use Shell Editor for Eclipse for editing bash, ksh, csh in Unix/Linux system

I found ShellEd when googling for any shell editor. It was trouble at first because there's no  how-to that directs me, where I expect to have a direct link that I can copy-en-paste to my Eclipse for installation. So what I did, I download ShellEd (as of this writing file version ShellEd-Update-2.0.0_M3.zip) from sourceforge.net and install, as required, the Linux Tools . After installing Linux Tools, I then locate thru archive the ShellEd zip file and install it successfully. It works good and I feel satisfied with this cool tool to be embedded in eclipse. The sample attached shell script is from JBoss twiddle. It does supports syntax highlighting, intellisense which is cool. Hope this helps.

LVM: How to remove a volume using pvremove

By -
First, I encountered this error "Can't pvremove physical volume "/dev/sdc1" of volume group "nova-volumes" without -ff" (I'm actually using OpenStack but it's another story). So to remove this, do first, ~# pvscan   PV /dev/sdb1   VG nova-volumes    lvm2 [1.82 TiB / 1.82 TiB free]   PV /dev/sda5   VG cloudmaster     lvm2 [297.85 GiB / 12.00 MiB free]   PV /dev/sdc1                      lvm2 [1.82 TiB]   Total: 3 [3.93 TiB] / in use: 2 [2.11 TiB] / in no VG: 1 [1.82 TiB] Then, when I do, ~# pvremove /dev/sdc1  Can't pvremove physical volume "/dev/sdc1" of volume group "nova-volumes" without -ff So I need to, ~# vgreduce nova-volumes /dev/sdc1   Removed "/dev/sdc1" from volume group "nova-volumes" Then do `pvscan` again, ~# pvscan   PV /dev/sdb1   VG nova-volumes    lvm2 [1.82 TiB / 1.82 TiB free]   PV /dev/sda5   VG clou...
