Sendmail problem

I got my Jails running 3 web server with sendmail enable. This is to enable my web server to send an email using the PHP mail() function. After a while the server is in testing period, I encounter a slowness when trying to post/insert into the database(that's also one of the jail). Further investigation, I found that in my web server log (/var/log/messages) with the following warning (even the sendmail is still functioning) :

Jan 13 16:25:44 httpd-2-server sendmail[46097]: unable to qualify my own domain name (httpd-2-server) -- using short name

Jan 13 16:25:49 httpd-2-server sm-mta[46118]: o0DGPi16046116: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias0": missing map file /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory

For the "unable to qualify my own domain name (httpd-2-server) -- using short name", I resolve through setting up the /etc/hosts with something like this :

::1 localhost httpd-2-server.local
127.0.0.1 localhost httpd-2-server.local
192.168.1.3 httpd-2-putera httpd-2-putera.local

and for the ""Alias0": missing map file /etc/mail/aliases.db: No such file or directory", I resolve by issue this command :

shell>sendmail -bi
/etc/mail/aliases: 27 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 275 bytes total

If you wondering what the -bi is, I get this from the man pages

-bi Initialize the alias database.

and yes, the issue is resolve :)

Building a KVM Proxy

Traditionally we seldomly connect our KVM from the port directly to the server that consists of usb for keyboard and mouse, vga cable for display purposes. More advanced you may have an experience using the iKVM which connect all you kvm port from the internet where you can have a remote location as long as you have the internet connection. When technology evolve, physical server are becoming obsolete since we have the virtualization technology. Since that to access your virtual machine (vm) are more easier. Instead of using SSH, like a Xen hypervisor, the Xen itself can host as a KVM server and map to the vm on different port as configured from the config file.
