Most of the ISP block port 25 for outgoing SMTP. To enable Port 587 on exim, add this configuration to Exim’s configuration file.

daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 587

Alternatively, with latest exim configuration file, uncomment the line below and you might want to remove 465.

# daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 465 : 587

After that, save your configuration and restart exim service.

Test on Port 587

After exim service has restarted, make a telnet test to port 587

shell> telnet localhost 587

Connected? If yes, it means Exim on SMTP Port 587 is enabled now.

Configure a NTP time server on FreeBSD is fairly easy. We will spend about 10 minutes to configure a NTP Server on FreeBSD.

Select Global NTP Server to Sync

Before setting up configuration file, you might want to find out which global NTP servers to sync with on strategy locations. Strategy means select the NTP server nearby your country/continent. Here is the list of Asia NTP servers which can be obtained here http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/asia. If you already have selected NTP server to go with, put the URL into your NTP configuration file.

What I gonna do is to read a bunch of data from a file, and perform some data processing from the string.

• split() is the Perl function which I will use for filtering the data.
• open for reading a file into array.

I took MRTG’s data log to do some data processing. On the first column of MRTG log file is Unix timestamp, I would like to print the unix Timestamp to human readable date and time, the other columns are traffic in and out in bytes, which I want to find out which traffic is more than certain values.

If you would like to find out your RSS subscriber’s statistic, it’s good to redirect all your RSS feed to Feedburner. One of the reason I like Feedburner’s RSS page is it provides reader with convenience short cut button to add into Google Reader, Yahoo Read, Newsgater and many more. Below is the comparison of Firefox Feed page and Feedburner Feed Page.

Just noticed FreeBSD’s port still using old version of spine, decided to install from source and seem like source install doesn’t work well with FreeBSD. It returns error due to libtool version different from the source file. First when run –configure command it returns config error;

./configure
configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh config/config.sub

List the file on config folder and found it’s symlink to invalid file;

ls -al config/*

config.guess, config.sub and ltmain.sh is symlink to the wrong directory, remove the files and symlink to correct path

shell> cd config
shell> rm -rf config.guess
shell> rm -rf config.sub
shell> ltmain.sh
shell> ln -s /usr/local/share/libtool/config/config.sub .
shell> ln -s /usr/local/share/libtool/config/config.guess .
shell> ln -s /usr/local/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh .

Seem like everything is fine, let run ./configure and I have another problema and I do make command

shell> make
CDPATH: not found
func_opt_split: not found
libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.2.6, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older release.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6
libtool: and run autoconf again.
*** Error code 63

Stop in /root/paul-work/cacti-spine-0.8.7e.

To fix aclocal problem

aclocal
libtoolize --force
autoconf
autoheader
automake
./configure

Run configure and make again. Should be no problem by now.
