Local-scoped coordinate names in tikz?

I think I just discovered (!) that coordinates names are global in tikz: 



documentclassarticle
usepackage[T1]fontenc
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagetikz
begindocument
begintikzpicture[black]
 draw(0,0) coordinate(alfa) -- (3,0) coordinate(beta);
endtikzpicture

begintikzpicture[blue]
 draw (alfa) -- (beta);
endtikzpicture

begintikzpicture[red]
 beginscope
 draw(1,0) coordinate(alfa) -- (2,0) coordinate(beta);
 endscope
endtikzpicture

begintikzpicture[green]
 draw (alfa) -- (beta);
endtikzpicture

enddocument


four silly lines



...and I really expected



  1. an error in the second tikzpicture (I am not using remember picture!), and

  2. a (0,0)--(3,0) green line...

So,



  1. am I correct that coordinate names are global to all tikzpictures?


  2. As a bonus question, is it possible to create local coordinate names?

    +1 I didn't know that either. On page 983 we find this, and I quote: pgfgetlastxymacro for xmacro for y Since (x,y) coordinates are usually assigned globally, it is safe to use this command after path operations

Yes, I've observed that before. And I think your interpretation is correct, and you can make coordinates "local" by using name prefix.

begintikzpicture[black]
 draw(0,0) coordinate(alfa) -- (3,0) coordinate(beta);
endtikzpicture

begintikzpicture[blue]
 draw (alfa) -- (beta);
endtikzpicture

begintikzpicture[red,name prefix=Rmano]
 beginscope
 draw(1,0) coordinate(alfa) -- (2,0) coordinate(beta);
 endscope

begintikzpicture[green]

Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
