Just officially released two days ago: Fedora Core 13. I installed it in a VM and I'm hosting this website from it. I ran into an annoying problem: vmtools wouldn't install.

I had installed the kernel headers, kernel-dev and the latest kernel. Still I got this error:

"The directory of kernel headers (version @@VMWARE@@ UTS_RELEASE) does
not match your running kernel (version 2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64)."

This took me a while to figure out what I could do about it.

[root@fc13 / ]# cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/generated/utsrelease.h
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64"

Add the output of the command to the version.h file so that the file looks like this:

[root@fc13 / ]# cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/version.h
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.33.4-95.fc13.x86_64"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132641
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

That did it for me. Finally.

I’m using a 1TB disk on Freenas 0.71 that I will divide into several partitions.

#unmount partitions created earlier
umount /dev/da1p1
umount /dev/da1p2
umount /dev/da1p3

The command that manipulates mailboxes from CLI is zmmailbox. The following features are very usable:

• Place user account into maintenance mode. This will prevent delivery of new mail messages until we finish with the backup procedure:

  zmprov ma <user> zimbraAccountStatus maintenance 

• Archive user's mailbox in tar.gz format:

  zmmailbox -z -m <user> getRestURL "//?fmt=tgz" > /tmp/<user>.tar.gz 

• Empty Inbox folder:

  zmmailbox -z -m <sgros> ef /Inbox 

• Restore user's mailbox from tar.gz format:

  zmmailbox -z -m <user> postRestURL "//?fmt=tgz&resolve=reset" /tmp/<user>.tgz

• Put user's account into active mode:

  zmprov ma <user> zimbraAccountStatus active 

My Speedtouch 780WL has an option called NAT Loopback that allows you to access the external IP address from inside your home network. This is useful because if you run a server inside your network you can use the same IP address (and so hostname) to address the server both at home and when you are outside. To enabled NAT Loopback login to the command line (through telnet or on WIndows7 use something like terra term) and enter:

=>ip config natloopback=enabled

=>saveall

Then it should all work.
