Monitoring Tomcat6 Access Log With Logwatch

I searched the forums for my title and I am not finding exactly what I am looking for. I am not using a program to send mail, such as Thunderbird or whatever. I simply want to be able to send mail from my Ubuntu 14.04 DESKTOP version for logging. I use a program called Logwatch (used alot in RHEL or CentOS) to monitor the server itself. The program sends mail to the root user account on the machine, which I can check and see, and within the program conf file, I can add an external email address, but it never sends.

I'm familiar with the SMTP concept of sending mail, outgoing mail server authentication, etc. I don't care to run this box as an SMTP server, but I understand that I need some sort of SMTP or MTA program to send mail into the real world. I tried Postfix but couldn't get that to work, and the Logwatch program wants to use sendmail, so I installed that but I am having the same issue. I am sure it is a step I am missing.

I also can't figure out how to get the 'mail' cmd from Terminal to work. I use this command:
Code:

mail -s "test" | /usr/sbin/mail myemail@domain.com

it follows through the subject, CC, body, but when I try to hit either . or CTRL-D, it never sends the email, in fact is does nothing.

I also tried sendmail with this command:
Code:

sendmail -v my@email.com < /dev/null

I was just trying to send a test email. It logs into my SMTP mail server, which I already configured, and it tells me to type out the mail, then end with a "." by itself on a single line. I try this and it just sits there.

I am missing SOMETHING when trying to actually send the mail. I can get it written with subject and body, connected, but it never sends and I am probably missing a / or something.

I did find and follow these instructions, but it still isn't working with sendmail. If I need to go back to Postfix, I can do that, I don't honestly care what I use, I just want some programs such as Logwatch to be able to email me.

I will be setting up a few raspberry pi's in various locations, and they will be creating reverse nat ssh tunnels to my ssh server.

I need to set up a monitoring server at the server's location to monitor the raspberry pi's through the ssh server. The monitoring agent that will be installed on the raspberry pi's is communicating with the monitoring server on port 4700.

My question is:

Since I am using reverse nat ssh tunnels to connect on the ssh server, I am guessing that port 4700 will not be opened. If this is true, is there a way to also open port 4700 in that tunnel, so the monitoring server can access the remote agent?

Thanks

I've worked with Linux in the past, but mostly Windows. Perhaps someone can explain what I am seeing. This isn't a Linux OS, but Tomcat running under Windows. I'm thinking Linux rules apply here, but if this is the wrong forum, I apologize in advance.

I've got an app that runs under Tomcat. I needed to modify an XML config file to change a variable. The path was \app\tomcat\webapps\asset-manager-web\WEB-INF\am\conf\settings. The file was configParams.xml.

To protect myself from messing things up, I first made a copy of configParams.xml and named it configParams-ORIG.xml. I left this in the same folder as the file I was going to edit. I made the required edits and restarted the application service. The app never recognized the changes. Finally, I moved the configParams-ORIG.xml file to another folder, restarted, and everything worked.

Can someone explain why this is? I do this in Windows all the time. Why does having that original file, renamed, in the same folder cause a problem?

Hey guys, I got samba working and I am able to access my files, however I am now trying to learn security with it. i am pretty much trying to allow certain groups access certain files. if you look at samba group you can see that I have @sambausers group to access sambagroup directory.

I have a user called sambatest01. the user can access "samba users only" but the user can access all of the other files as well. what is a correct set up on the other smb.conf to prevent users from accessing this? I cant seem to find a proper set up


[drivers]
path = /files/drivers
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
guest only = no


[samba users only]
path = /files/sambagroup
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = no
guest only = no
write list = @sambausers
valid users = @sambausers

Hello
I have a few folders that I would like allow only access to certain ip schema
like for example
-folder "Products" allow access only to 10.10.20.x
-folder "Customers" allow access only to 10.10.21.x

Can this be dome using Samba?

machines connecting are windows machine from different networks coming true vpn

Thank you

I've had this server up and running for over a year and just recently started getting TCP_DENIED/403 in the logs for a site we've been using forever. When users try to access the site they get "web page not available" messages in their browser. I verified the site and all other links on the site our in my white list. If I bypass the proxy it works just fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
