• Make a backup and dump of all Berkley databases:
  1. subversion (/var/lib/svn) via svm admin dump [repo]
  2. cyrus (/var/lib/cyrus) via cvt_cyrusdb:

     cvt_cyrusdb /var/backups/cyrus-mboxlist.txt flat /var/lib/cyrus/mailboxes.db skiplist
     cvt_cyrusdb /var/backups/cyrus/dmitry.seen.txt flat /var/lib/cyrus/user/d/dmitry.seen skiplist

     rm /usr/lib/cyrus/cyrus-db-types.active

  3. ldap (/var/lib/ldap) via slapcat
• Make sure you have the latest incremental backup.

After update check:

• logging
  Move mail logs to subfolder:

  # mkdir /var/log/mail
  # chown root.adm /var/log/mail
  # chmod 750 /var/log/mail
  # mv /var/log/mail.* /var/log/mail
  # /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart

• Apache
  usermod -a -G www-data dmitry to make it possible for me to update files that Apache creates
• awstats
  • Create new user and make it possible for this user to read Apache access file:

    # useradd -g www-data awstats
    # chown awstats -R /var/lib/awstats
    # chown awstats /var/log/apache2 /var/log/apache2/*.log
    # chmod a-w -R /var/log/apache2

  • Make sure that Apache access logs are rotated resulting awstats ownership (/etc/logrotate.d/apache2 states create 440 awstats adm).
  • Apply patch to support column sorting plus few other fixes:

    # patch -d /usr/lib/cgi-bin < awstats.pl_favicon.patch
    # patch -d /usr/lib/cgi-bin < awstats.pl_urldecode.patch
    # patch -d /usr/lib/cgi-bin < awstats.pl_sortable.patch
    # ln -s /home/programming/patches/awstats/awstats.ico /usr/share/awstats/icon/other/awstats.ico

• SSL/CA
  Make sure that the following symlinks exist:

  centurion:/etc/ssl/certs# ll | grep centurion
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     23 Jun 22 18:03 centurion_ca.pem -> /etc/ssl/private/ca.pem
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Jun 22 18:21 e0042930.0 -> centurion_ca.pem
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     16 Jun 22 18:21 ebf85ebc.0 -> centurion_ca.pem

  Check that CA can be verified.

• libnss-ldap
getent passwd should list LDAP users
• pam_ldap
  Users should be able to login using LDAP authentication
• Cyrus+Postfix (same as make -f /etc/ssl/Makefile proper)

  # mkdir -m 750 /var/spool/postfix/var/run/cyrus/
  # chown cyrus.mail /var/spool/postfix/var/run/cyrus/
  # usermod -a -G mail postfix    # to access /var/spool/postfix/var/run/cyrus/
  # usermod -a -G sasl postfix    # to access /var/spool/postfix/var/run/saslauthd/
  # openssl s_client -starttls smtp -quiet -crlf -connect localhost:25

• /etc/mailname should be FQDN of this host and /etc/hostname can be just a hostname
• ProFTPd
  Check that passive mode ports (9000-9100) are forwarded from router. Make sure that IP address is correctly masqueraded (MasqueradeAddress option), for example the startup message can read:

  proftpd[25530] localhost: 127.0.0.1:21 masquerading as 92.143.15.216

• smartmontools
  The daemon that checks that S.M.A.R.T. characteristics to not degrade. Check /etc/default/smartmontools. The utility smartctl is used by Cacti poller (it substitutes hddtemp which should be removed).
• sensors
  Make sure that module w83627hf is added to /etc/modules: echo w83627hf >> /etc/modules.
• SquirrelMail¹⁵⁾
  Install version 1.5.1 to support IMAP+STARTTLS. Use patched version or apply patches from SquirrelMail section.
• BackupPC
  Check that incremental backups are created for all hosts.
• mldonkey
  Make sure that torrent client is disabled.
• Zoneminer
  Needs to be the latest version to support MPEG IPcam sources
• SVN
  Check that SVN can be opened.
• Samba
  Should have password to access LDAP server in /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb.

Hints:

• Avoid DDR5-8400 → expensive + unstable
• Enable XMP (sometimes called “A-XMP”) in BIOS to boost CPU 5600→6400
• 2 DIMM performance is 20–40% faster (dual channel), hence 2×16 GB DDR5-6400 is better
• Heat pipes of the CPU cooler should be facing up (be on the top)

Power calculation:

⇒ minimum 1000 W SFX / SFX‑L, recommended 1200 W SFX PSU (less noisy as peak load is within ≈ 65–75% range plus handles transient spikes)
