Re: Digital Photo Manager
As Oded mentioned, Digikam + Gallery2(2.1) is a good one. There is a plugin for that. Since Gallery is highly configurable and extensible you may even satisfy your programming skills :) Note though that there serious security holes in Gallery and is a constant target for attacks.

Hi All There have been alot of e-mails on the list this year (from myself aswell) relating to the Internet in Israel. Every ISP promises that they are the fastest, have the best support, when often nothing can be further from the truth. An ISP / infrastructure provider will be having technical problems that affect all users, but to cover their ass they'll waste your time trying to find a non existant problem on your PC. In most other countries, you have independant sites which keep such companies in line, and I'd like your help in setting one up for Israel. I foresee a number of parts of such a site: 1) A WIKI which will include 1a) General information on each ISP, including hopefully maps showing their connections and bandwidth both locally and abroad (is this info available anywhere??) 1b) Debugging information for ADSL modems, cable, etc, to help people help themselves, and help users/us perform our own diagnostics before having to waste time on the phone with support. 1c) Of course, plenty of Linux information... both rating ISPs according to their linux support, and of course offering scripts and other info. There's already a page on using openl2tpd to connect via HOT -- this seems to the best and most actively maintained l2tp package, and the info is all from 2007 and not 2001 like other guides. 2) RATINGS OF THE ISPS and infrastructure providers 2a) Subjective ratings: users will be able to rate from 1-10 on issues such as speed, support, stability, etc. 2b) Objecting ratings: linux scripts that will run daily or even hourly performing latency, bandwidth and maybe even traceroute tests to various selected sites in Israel and abroad, and automatically submit this data to a script on the site which will show ISP aggregates, graphs, etc... 2c) In both cases, we'll a) see the real numbers and not the ISPs opinion of how good they are, and secondly we'll be able to tell objectively if an ISP is experiencing a problem instead of relying on their word. 3) Finally, I guess a forum for discussion of Israeli internet. Obviously this is quite a big endeavor and nothing I can do on my own, but I think it's something that would be really worthwhile for the community here and benefit everyone (i.e. once the ISPs have real competition to deliver on their promises). The wiki is set up, although as you can see there's not much there now (www.mybroadband.co.il). Feel free to add, edit, change, re-order, etc, anything on the site, without asking me. It's a community site, I just want to get things started. My forte is PHP, so I can handle all the rating scripts, etc... as for (2c) I can handle the server side, but it would be great if someone else could write a shell script to perform the actual tests, and I'll handle processing and maybe laying out of the submitted data. Anyway, for those who want to be more involved than just editing stuff on the wiki, you're invited to send an email with the word 'subscribe' in the subject or body of the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] List information and future archives will go here: http://lists.mybroadband.co.il/mailman/listinfo/devel. Feel free to post something, again, this is a project for all of those motivated to do it, nothing depends on me. Please also feel free to forward this message to other relevant lists you're subscribed to, especially if they're in Hebrew (which isn't my forte... although I hope most parts of the site will finally be available in atleast English and Hebrew, and maybe more).

Tools (which might not be relevant for Israel) where by you give you land line number and they tell you what kind of services (companies, plans) are available for your exchange. 2. Very active discussion forums, with many official representatives from service providers. 3. News about broadband (e.g. ISP take overs, plan changes, communication's ministry decisions, market watch etc.) 4. Plans database, ISP's database, Hardware database (each member is invited to list and rate all of these about their account so the site can gather lots of statistical info). 5. FAQ's section - probably filling the same space you intend for the Wiki. That's it for now. I'll try to answer more specific questions if you have. Good luck with your venture. Judging by the Whirlpool experience it could become a VERY valuable and successful service. One important point about Whirlpool - though it seems to maintain contacts with the players in the market (have official reps from many companies talk to them etc.), they seem to be very independent, which adds a lot of value to the site as a whole.

Postfix configuration issue
It might be the time, but I can't wrap my head around this problem: I have postfix configured as the local MTA for a server that needs to generate some status emails every day (logwatch, etc'), and mail them to the administrator's address which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] , and I've setup an alias: root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem is that the mail server running the mail domain comany.com doesn't like to receive e-mail from addresses in the form of server.comany.com (where server.company.com is local host name that is not visible on the internet) - because it doesn't accept mail from domains that it can't resolve. So mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets rejected. I tried to solve the problem by setting postfix's 'myorigin' to company.com so that postfix will send mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is meaningless (there is no such e-mail address), but I don't mind and I can understand what it means and the mail server will be happy (it doesn't actually verify the user part of From addresses). Problem is that postfix now refuses to resolve the alias and instead of sending to the required address, it sends emails from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED], which of course gets rejected because there is no such address. This is because the second caveat of the 'myorigin' setting: # For the sake of consistency between sender and recipient addresses, # myorigin also specifies the default domain name that is appended # to recipient addresses that have no @domain part. So postfix maps 'root' to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and then its no longer a local address and so it gets sent on the wire. My current workaround is to set 'myorigin' to valid.company.com, where valid.company.com is the address of another server whose name can be resolved on public DNS server. Of course this is bad. Can any one suggest a better method of getting my log reports ? I rather not have an alias for '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' on the mail server - its a good address for a spam trap, but probably nothing else. -- Oded = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I would like to email alerts if one of the check fails. I know SNMP traps are exactly what I'm after, oddly I haven't been able find any decent project that will support this.

Re: Digital Photo Manager
Gallery is a very active project, meaning that security holes are quickly closed, and all you have to do is just to apt-get update/yum update. I wouldn't define neither Gallery v1 or v2 as a software with serious security holes (unless you decide to install old versions). Moshe is probably talking about evil bugs from the past. PhpBB also had evil bugs in the past, and even Apache. I believe that the Linux kernel too. Of course, web application (which is open to the public) will always be more vulnerable than non-web software. But non-web software belongs to the 90s :) I'm using Gallery (v1 v2) for more than two years. - Oren On 08/08/07, Moshe Leibovitch [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Note though that there serious security holes in Gallery and is a constant target for attacks.

Either define mynetworks to include all local networks thus whitelist them or use access list by domain ( with or without wild card ). I'm assuming your talking about the mail server here ? I rather not mess with the mail server - lets just assume I don't have control of it - but in anyway its not local to the network with the private server on it, so I don't want to white list anything. It's all about configuring the server. Am I missing something? If your main.cf is configured with the means, then all you need to change are the data files G.E access db, header checks db, etc. You can change aliases, can you? same thing. Are you still talking about the company's domain mail server, or about the private server? If its the former then its not much of an option - the mail domain is hosted on a shared server and changing its configuration is out of the question. I can add the [EMAIL PROTECTED] alias - but I rather not do that as I explained above - and that's probably the only type of changes that I can do to the mail server. I'm looking for a possible solution on how to configure the private server's local MTA so that it can send e-mail to the domain's mail server (which will be unchanged) without the need to add the private server's fully qualified host name to a public DNS (which may not always be possible anyway, as I might want to use servers w/o a fully qualified host name at all). I'm looking for a general solution that I can deploy for this problem on multiple private servers that send mail to different mail servers - most have a similar behavior of blocking emails with what looks like obviously fake From addresses. I though you were talking about using reject_unknown_sender_domain restriction, not just rbl's. Yea, its probably that, not that I remember. -- Oded = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: System resource monitoring and reporting utility ?
A friend of mine (Amnon) found Munin (http://munin.projects.linpro.no/), which is a great system resource grapher tool which has plugins for almost everything from swap, ntp time drifts, disk temperature - to mysql queries per second. However, it draws graphs, I'm not sure it can send alerts. You can set limits (like highest cpu temperature or free disk space) which tag the whole node as red, maybe it's even capable of notifying.. worth a check I guess.

Oron, you're off by just 2 small (levenshtein distance) steps.
I've found monit to be exactly what I'm looking for, and it makes the
impression of a very quality code.
Here is the setup I'm using on a redhat 4 box, coping and pasting from
a dokuwiki format:
Installl
code
cd /tmp/
wget http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/monit/monit-4.9-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh monit-4.9-2.el4.rf.i386.rpm
/code
Settings
* sed /^#/d /etc/monit.conf code
set daemon 600
set logfile syslog facility log_daemon
set mailserver aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd# primary mailserver
set mail-format { from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] }
set alert [EMAIL PROTECTED] # receive all alerts
set httpd port 2812 and
use address localhost # only accept connection from localhost
allow localhost# allow localhost to connect to the server and
allow admin:monit # require user 'admin' with password 'monit'
check system localhost
if loadavg (1min) 4 then alert
if loadavg (5min) 2 then alert
if memory usage 75% then alert
if cpu usage (user) 70% then alert
if cpu usage (system) 30% then alert
if cpu usage (wait) 20% then alert
check device datafs with path /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
if space usage 70% for 5 times within 15 cycles then alert
/code

I don't know about alerts, but I find that it is the best tool I know for getting the general health of a system. That is something no graph specific test can tell you, because it often involves measurements you did not think of before they happened.
