Daily warning messages - why not emailed?
 
This should be easy, but I can't seem to figure it out. I had a Mandrake 10.0 installation that was sending me mail daily with msec security warnngs. When I got 10.1, I built a fresh server on new hardware (is there an easier way to move an existing Mandrake installation from one hard drive to another?) and now I get no more daily warning emails.

Postfix is relaying mail just fine--in fact, the output from my cron.weekly jobs gets emailed, but the daily warnings are only logged to /var/log/messages. In the system configuration tool under Level and Checks, I have the following settings:

Security Level: High
Security Alerts: [checked]
Security Administrator: [set to my email address]

I have checked the mail queues and nothing is pending. Also, there is no mail waiting to be read in any of the user mailboxes.

Does anyone know how to get the cron.daily msec warning output to get emailed? As an aside, where is/are the config file(s) related to the above security settings?

Thanks!

msec files are located under /etc/sysconfig

You could do 'locate msec'

As far postfix goes I use sendmail so I cant help you with that.

Thanks. My /etc/sysconfig/msec reads:

UMASK_ROOT=022
SECURE_LEVEL=3
UMASK_USER=022
TMOUT=0

Any idea why these daily checks are not getting emailed? Like I said, Postfix is relaying other mail from crond, and the checks are being performed (see below from /var/log/messages). Thanks!

Put new HD in old server and partition/mkfs it.
Make a /NEW and mount you new / partition there (like 'mount /dev/hdb1 /NEW').
Copy all the directories from / to /NEW like this:
Code:
cp -a /b* /dev /etc /home /initrd /lib /root /opt /s* /tmp /usr /var  /NEW
mkdir /NEW/proc
umount /NEW
Remember: If you want to have say /home on a separate partition on the new HD you have to create a /NEW/home and mount the partition
(say /dev/hdb5) there prior to the copying.

You could also boot the new server using Knoppix or similar, partition/mkfs/mount the new HD and set up rsync to copy the files from old server to new.
In that case, make sure you use the -a flag to rsync to preserve permissons and stuff.

Or, if the servers have the same kind of HD's, you probably could put the new HD in the old server and simply 'cat /dev/hda > /dev/hdb'
but I wouldn't really reccomend it.
