Re: backup system for servers

You don't need Software all you need is a simple bash script that 1.)
GZIP's everything but: proc, sys and others, 2.) signs said backup and
then encrypts it and 3.) an SSH cert to the other server and the time to
make said simple script. You can even use Perl or PHP, both of which
support being daemonized so you can do incremental backups or backups of
specific files based on changes.  I usually prefer the Perl method, but
sometimes am forced to use PHP and when clients flat out refuse to let
me daemonize I tell them to do it themselves since it's not my problem
anyways I was just being nice and send them an SH script that does
exactly what I described.
 

Personally I pipe tar over ssh so I'm not dependent on enough disk space on
the machine being backed-up to create a local archive. Plus, it's only one
command that way.

I prefer it too but my clients need verbose lists of files that were 
backed up in certain places and we grep that out for their automatic emails.
In case the OP wants to know what we're on about, and so we don't stray 
to far off topic here is an example of piping tar to SSH:


tar cvpjf server_backup.tar.bz2 --same-owner \
--exclude=/proc/* \
--exclude=/media/* \
--exclude=/dev/* \
--exclude=/mnt/* \
--exclude=/sys/* \
--exclude=/tmp/* \
--exclude=/usr/tmp/* \
--exclude=/lost+found/* \
--exclude=/server_backup.tar.bz2 | ssh client_opera...@backup.domain.com 
dd of=server_backup.tar.bz2


Also, to make things more secure, and so you can give clients access to 
their own shares, if this is the case, you can easily Chroot SSH to 
their client share. And just give them the SSH certificate (which 
they'll easily be able to get anyways if they're not dumb so it's better 
you go ahead and Chroot ahead of time) so they can pull down their own 
backups.

 I was really hoping php 5.3.3 would make it into squeeze.  It will be
 the first version of php that properly supports sqlite3.  It looks like
 it might be too late :-(
 
 I am also not entirely sure whether sqlite 3.7.0.1 is going to make it
 into squeeze.  There are some strange words in the developer pts
 regarding freeze break for it.
 

It was too late when it came out anyways considering it was just
released not to long ago and there hasn't been full testing yet, or not
even close to full testing.  I'm at least happy they finally pushed up
to php 5.3.2 so that companies like MediaTemple who apparently rely
solely on the repos will have php 5.3.2. Looks like they might also be
using sqlite 3.6.23 since sqlite 3.7 was released on the same day as php
5.3.3. Since Squeeze is still young we can only hope they get all the
proper testing done fast so we can see it in a few months.

If ckkrootkit really did detect worms like Lupper, Lion

My problem with software like this is that it gives the
impression of providing security over and above what the
normal updating procedure provides.





Because a rootkit can't remain hidden and inject itself back into the 
binary after a security update right? I mean it's never happened 
before, that's why Tripwire doesn't exist...Or because apt does trigger 
checks and validates once after the install and then once more a few 
minutes later to trigger integrity violations? Or because doing a 
security update on grub will remove a rootkit in your system that will 
just inject itself back into the boot? All this is just figments of our 
imagination and it's impossible for any of this to happen because all 
you have to do is apt-get upgrade and you'll be legit.

All I want to do is download all the files in a specific directory.

Someone is scanning your system for vulnerable PHPMyAdmin installations,
and other possibly vulnerable stuff. As long as you watch your PHPMyAdmin
installations if you have any and make sure nobody can abuse them, nothing's
wrong. Try, for example, requiring http authentication to access the
directories, or turning off your webserver if you didn't need it anyway.

Sjors




There was a recent influx of attacks on some hosts who were using 
outdated versions [some by almost 4 revisions ~ one host I know of is 
using a version of PHPMyAdmin with about 20 CVE's against it that I 
confirmed myself ~ they have yet to push their security experts to 
update this as an emergency or close the loop by creating a prompted 
login ~ some who were very high end hosts] and they were open so a lot 
of people might see this happening more and more.

As soon as there is an output (which is always immediately) so think of 
each iteration of find as being piped to grep, you don't lose *much* 
efficiency but you do lose *some*, efficiency is subjective here since 
it's CPU time you lose. So if you do a find on root var and home would 
an iteration (like normal), except instead of staying inside of find 
it's piped to grep for each iteration, this is where you lose *some* CPU 
time, but you gain a lot more power.  You can exit out of the find using 
CTRL+C though as somebody did point out CTRL+C is the universal knock 
your shit off hot-key for terminals.


I opt to pipe to grep because I usually do a lot more complicated things 
with find and over time, I just kept using grep, it's a personal 
preference really.  Just like using locate is far faster than using find 
and find -name is slower and so forth on down the line.  I've never been 
a big fan of locate though because it can miss on some machines with 
horrible i/o.

I get any .zip or .ZIP file that is in the directory. In the

I think I have tried about every form of escaping there

If I leave out the attempted regular expression of

That doesn't sound right. A typical maximum junction temperature for

maximum temperature for the heatsink area on the CPU package, which in
those days would probably be the whole top of the case.

A junction temperature of 80C would imply a heatsink temperature of
about 20C-30C, which would be difficult to maintain, and probably no
more than about 10MHz clock speed. Doesn't sound like a P3.



I'm sorry but lolwut, Joe? The T-Junction max for most Intel processors 
is between 60-100c and your processor will shut itself down when it 
reaches these temperatures... 200c, lol, this isn't a mobile processor. 
 Anyways, Pentium 3's do not use Tjunction they use Tcase, which is 
what your motherboard is reporting, and for most Pentium 3's it is 68°C 
which means if you were to try and guess Tjunction if it were there, it 
would be around, 80-85c (depending on which way you round) max internal 
temperature before it shuts down.


And Joe, in the future, don't give false information while confusing 
TJunction with Junction and the definition of TJunction on Google.

The only way to do this would be trough a console, or some companies

SSH [or all communications outside at all ~ if you're in a console

server might have been hacked.  Coming from somebody who does security, 
this is the first thing I would do, lock down SSH so you can't get in 
and fix anything right away. If you can't get to a console, call the 
company that hosts it, and ask them if they can repair SSH for you and 
verify it's integrity (which they should be willing to do at the least) 
and if they can't, I guess you're screwed unless you get physical access.

You need to explain to people what these values actually mean,

apparently because it seems this way.)  In memory calculations yes the

1 megabyte (MB)  = 8,388,608 bits
1 megabit (Mb) = 1,048,576 bits
1 mebibyte (MiB) = 8,388,608 bits

The reason some major companies (that don't like to play the line of 
politically-correct or politically-incorrect or you're an idiot or you

is because people think that base-two meaning is the correct measurment 
for storage, when according to standards yes Mega means a million 
(10^6). As a matter of fact, most computer scientists still readily and 
unreliably use base-two meaning (2^20) for measurement :/


The IEC added some terms (KiB, MiB, GiB, TiB, PiB, EiB) to ease the 
confusion (which nobody outside of the computer industry noticed) which 
does use the base 2 calculations and not base 10. So when you think hard

shouldn't get all mad about it since it is SID after all, but they 
should know that there is a problem so they can get it fixed as soon as 
they possibly can.

You can however use the Ubuntu live CD (or preferably liveUSB ~ since 
you can install a few necessary packages you might want) to do that. 
Knoppix is just godly because it includes a lot of tools that you will

Also, to add, if you plan on doing a cryptographic integrity check, you 
need to do this from a liveCD not from a liveUSB.  The only reason you 
would do a liveUSB is for things like fsck and chkrootkit (where you 
would mount as readonly at first)

That's probably because Squeeze is considered unstable by all means.

Same here (weekly ISO).

No network adapter detection neither ext3/ext4/reiserfs/jfs/xfs
formatting options.

BTW, netinstall (~180 MiB.) works fine.

Maybe it's your network cards ~ perhaps a specific model missing

don't slipstream our drivers and we were using unmodified kernels.

(which is somewhat of an insult to be honest).  If you knew months ago, why did 
you not bring this up in a ticket months ago? It would have been much more 
viable (and feasible) to bring it up months in advance (to the developers) then 
it would have to expect them (again) to instantly patch it after it's final 
release.  While I have no doubt the package maintainer will update soon, you 
can't always expect that (take a look at some of our major packages some 
servers rely on which take a while), try checking sid and see if it has an 
updated package.  There is a wishlist on the ticket system.

You need to make sure you are not using GLX with Xen because Zen has no
support for 3D on anything but Windows, and on Windows it's very
experimental at best and it's very expensive because it requires
dedicated GPU's for domu and then dom/n/.  You need to make sure the Xen
kernel is installed first, and then install the Nvidia module.

Anything, and I repeat anything, is recoverable, even if you remove the
filesystem you can recover pieces of the file. You can remove remnants
of the file using over write methods but you need to make sure they
properly implement the algorithm and do your own research on the
algorithms to make sure they were designed or were updated for modern
hard drives. EXP: Gutmann method was designed for older HD's and will
not work on newer HD's most of the time (depending on who implements
it).  Now, removing remnants of the file doesn't make it unrecoverable
(in all circumstances), you might be able to still do a very low level
recovery, something they would generally reserve for say, a RICO
investigation, terrorists an those sorts.  The only way to stop any and
all data leaks, recoveries or anything of the sort is to either Degauss,
Destroy or use Encryption on the drive from the get go and to be honest,
the only proper implementation of drive encryption (beyond the actual
encryption) would be RedHat (and this is only because they offer the
ability to span encryption across multiple drives and recommend it) and
no drive encryption (beyond truecrypt) offers deniability. Something
I've brought up on both Debian and Ubuntu and even to Redhat. As a
matter of fact, Ubuntu developers fought with me over the idea telling
me that only criminals could possibly want plausible deniability, but
Ubuntu is rather closed minded most of the time when it comes to this
sort of thing.

I would personally go with whichever one has the most updates in the Repo and 
is most recent, both can be monkey patched to do exactly what you want, but you 
certainly don't want to work with dead outdated source. :P

I'm currently working on a Staff Directory extension at the moment and
one of the fields for the admin form requires a profile image.  I'm
hoping to allow admin staff to pick an image from an assets library.
Is the best extension for this work the Paperclipped extension? Or
should I just look at using form.file_filed?

Subject: [Radiant] Ajax with mailer extension

Hello,

I'm new to Radiant (and fairly new to Rails) so please be gentle

I've got a contact form working using the Mailer Extension - the contact form 
is in a snippet on the sidebar of the home page. What I would like to achieve 
is that when the contact form is submitted and the email successfully sent, 
rather than redirecting to a new page, I'd like an AJAX like effect to change 
the heading of the contact form to Mail Sent!.

Based on research to date, I'm trying to follow articles about RJS and so I've 
tried adding the following to the  
../vendor/extensions/mailer/app/mail_controller.rb file:

   page.replace_html 'contactmsg', 'Mail Sent!'

Where 'contactmsg' is the id of a div in the snippet. But I get errors about 
unknown variable page. Reading further, I realise this kind of stuff should 
be in an .rjs file, in a view directory? But Radiant projects don't have 
views do they...? So how can I achieve an RJS or AJAX like effect to update 
one part of the page based on some logic happening in a controller?

If I'm going about this in completely the wrong way please feel free to 
re-direct me...

Thanks,
Greg

[Radiant] Static caching

Does anybody know of a plugin that actually works for static caching? Or a
way I can pull the Radiant Cache Files with NGINX. Right now we would like

a page causing RadiantCMS to avoid it's own internal cache and refresh,
which tends to lead to a slow page. We tried the simple static_caching
extension listed on the extensions page, however, we get horrible errors.

 It means roughly what it says. The method 'cache_page' is undefined  
 (it doesn't exist) in Radiant::Cache
 A simple search and replace of ResponseCache with Radiant::Cache won't  
 do the trick. You'll need to dive into Rack and Rails a bit to  
 understand Radiant::Cache
 Rack::Cache is relatively new, new to Rails, and new to Radiant.
 
 You may even find that you throw away most of what this extension does  
 (I don't personally know it well) because Radiant used to handle it's  
 own caching with ResponseCache but it now basically hands off the  
 heavy work to Rack::Cache (via Radiant::Cache)
 Start digging into Radiant::Cache and follow it into Rack::Cache  
 (bundled with the Radiant source) and at first glance you may want to  
 look at Rack::Cache::EntityStore::Disk write method

Thanks.  I'll start digging around in core files and see if I can't figure
it out. :D

[jQuery] Re: Document ready function and the browser forward/back button

2009-05-07 Thread Jordon Bedwell

Are you using window.onLoad or DOMContentLoaded.  If you are worried about
them pressing the back button then use window.onLoad because it waits till
everything is done loading, not till the DOM content is ready to be
manipulated.  It shouldn't hurt anything if they press the back button,
unless it's an auto-load Ajax, and if that is the case, you can use some
tricks that JQuery has built into it.

Hah,
you should not link directly to the libraries on jQuery.com or

The truth of the matter is, Jquery uses MediaTemple, and their site is very
optimised and if you are loading the compressed libraries, you aren't using
very much of their 1TB+ bandwidth they get a month.  But I stick to if you
really want to off-load the scripts so they load faster since some hosting
companies tend to lag on static distribution I would go with Google API
which only goes down, well actually only once that I know of :P.

The easiest way to do that would be to remove it from the DOM, one of the

Ok here goes.

jQuery is a javascript framework. It has nothing to do with Joomla or
the other site you're talking about. The way it works is some people
create widgets using jQuery to help make life a little bit easier for
web developers. One of these widgets is a Superfish menu which was
written by 1 guy, it's not a commercial product, it's not an official
part of jQuery, it's just a script somebody thought would be useful to
others so he released it. It works great if you know how to use it,
However if you have no idea what you're doing and try and drop it in
some CMS you are probably going to run into problems, which is what
this forum is for. To help you. The problem is you didn't want help.
You wanted to vent your frustrations at something that you obviously
didn't understand, that is not what this forum is for.

were
 working with straight code and expected ME to understand what to do with
 this handful of files in the zip file.  The confusion was totally caused
by
 the fact that Joomla rejected the module and wouldn't install it.

 I tried a zillion other menus on Joomla and they didn't work too great
 either, because there are so many conflicts with mootools and javascript.

 Finally I downloaded Superfish again, this time I downloaded a different
 file (you have TWO available) and the other module installed properly and
 was easy to use.  This was after an entire day of trouble, all of which
was
 caused by the file which didn't and wouldn't install.  Which is not your

 So I don't know how to repeal the bad review but at the time I wrote it
I
 didn't think your product had an adequate description. There was no

[jQuery] Re: [autocomplete] Search Page Replacement

2009-04-26 Thread Jordon Bedwell

this is one of two counter-intuitive keyboard behaviors i'm aware of. the
other is tab, which most users would expect to get them to the next form
element.

I'm still scratching my head at how this is counter-intuitive? If you called
it that, you must not understand the entire scope of tab, and the fact that
it has no scope, it loops through the entire frame of the browser, including
the address bar and links.  With JavaScript you can prevent it from looping
through links and the address bar by defining where it goes and what it
does. YES, if it did infact stay within forms if you select a form element
it would be counter-intuitive, but at this point, it is far from that based
on logic.  There are also more reasons to redine the default behaviour of
tab.



[jQuery] Re: [autocomplete] Search Page Replacement

2009-04-26 Thread Jordon Bedwell

I guess I should follow up and elaborate more why it's not counterintuitive:
because the common user would expect it not to eventually hit the address
bar, but loop through the form elements and keep looping through form
elements, not land on some random link at the bottom of the page.  Not all
computer users understand the Shift+Tab concept.  You are creating usability
and simplicity.

The decision is up to you really because no way is wrong but always remember 
with things like that if they are going through Ajax to check the id is numeric 
and validate it in the backend. Its really easy to hack up the DOM Cookies tend 
to more secure in a sense so it might be more sensible to store it in a cookie. 
Or query on an API for that information with Ajax using a REST method.

That's why most people edit plugins because most plugin authors are very
obtrusive and don't understand that sometimes we would like to include the
libraries ourselves.  The best way to do so is to build a plugin called
JQuery and buffer the entire page and search for the Script tag that
might include JQuery.  It's best you do that anyways because it's sloppy to
put JQuery and any Javascript in the header like most plugins like to do and
you can move it to the bottom.

Hulu will soon switch to a Flash/Silverlight setup.

Example: If you are at 10MBPS when you first tap the video and then all of a
sudden you drop to 1MBPS bandwidth, it will downgrade the video, and upgrade
the video if you gain more available bandwidth, creating a constant smooth

 haha, its not possible, I use Linux ... and Moonlight is not the right 
 solution.

because: I have Moonlight installed and also cannot open the side - why ppl
not use java or flash? Its OFFICIAL supported on Win, Mac and Linux too.

Moonlight is not official, so u will have every time problems!

[jQuery] Re: IE8 will not perform Fade animation properly

2009-04-11 Thread Jordon Bedwell

How exactly are you trying to fade it? A sample of your code would be good
to diagnose said error, otherwise we have to assume that you are relying on
JQuery to fade and if you are then assume that it's the way you have your
span setup with CSS.

Subject: [jQuery] IE8 will not perform Fade animation properly


Hello All,

I am new to this forum as well as web design (started a few months
ago).  I have been trying to implement fade effects on my site which
are not working in IE8 (naturally works fine in everything else). When
it runs, the text (set within a span that has an ID) simply disappears
rather than fade out.  I assume this is common and that there is a way
around it... does anyone care to share?

Thanks,
Jared



[jQuery] Re: I'd like to commission a custom jQuery plugin

2009-04-10 Thread Jordon Bedwell

Is there any way you can elaborate what you are looking for? I might have a
free library I've already made or there might be a free project I can help
you embed that won't cost you as much as going the old-route of heavy custom
programming.

Hi there,

I'm working on a small personal website and have a vision of how it
should look.  My problem is that although I know html, I simply dont
have time to study and learn Adobe Flash or jQuery.

Is is possible to get a jQuery plugin custom designed to provide the
functionality that I want?  And what would the estimated price be?
This could turn out to be quite a simple job for a web design student.

Let me know if anyone out there is interested in this project, and I
will provide them with a full brief of the project.  It will basically
involve working with images, embedding sound files that react to image
clicks and hovers, and making it all look flash-like and professional.

Thanks

[jQuery] Re: How do get the ID of an element that has been clicked ?

2009-04-10 Thread Jordon Bedwell
script type=text/javascript

 $(document).ready(function() {

  $(div[id^='div_']).click(function() {

   alert(this.id);

  });

 });

/script

 

Better not to use JQuery for such trivial things as getting the ID attribute
since it's already apart of the object.  And 'this' is already an object in
modern browers.

[jQuery] Re: Is jquery safe ?

2009-04-09 Thread Jordon Bedwell

No, it's not a trojan.  The alert you are probably getting about it is a
false positive.  The only AV company I have seen this caused by is Comodo
because it uses a very advanced heuristics application approach to finding
viruses and trojans in the wild preventing them before they are even aware
they are there and some newer versions of Norton which has recently started
to advance in the area of Advance Heuristics.  You can confirm it is not a
threat yourself by emailing the file you downloaded that it is reporting to
avl...@comodo.com or virus_resea...@avertlabs.com; simply pack the files and
email it off.  If you plan to email it to Avertlabs then please make sure
you password the zip with the password infected (without quotes ofcourse).
Avert will do an automatic submission and test it automatically and email
you back if no threat is found, if it's engine is wigging out on the
threat-o-metre then it will be elevated and take upto a week, but either
way, in short, no, JQuery is not a trojan.

http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Authoring gives a brief explanation of which
is better in which situation, either situation is alright to use, no one is
better than the other for the average programmer, but there are situations
that call for the two types.

Can you say why that is better than:

$.myPlugin.myExtend = function(){ ... }
