Re: [brlug-general] expanding Europe's Linux Presentation Day to the US

[Shannon Roddy]

Haven't thought about CC or Computer Heaven in a while.  I think I go back
to around 1995 or 1996 with Clickers, and I spent way too much money with C
Heaven.  Looks like both are still around.

Re: [brlug-general] Are you using MySQL or.. have you moved to something else?

[Shannon Roddy]

There are pockets where MySQL is in production at $day_job.  There is some
desire to move away from it in certain use cases.  Alternatives have been
discussed, but inertia is hard to overcome here.  Most major stuff is
Oracle.  I'll hold my tongue on that...

[brlug-general] Web templates/CMS

[Shannon Roddy]

What are folks using for GPL'd web templates and/or CMS nowadays for self
hosted websites?  I haven't done much HTML editing in years and don't
really have the time to get into it.  I would rather not use wordpress...
I just need a basic CMS for a typical static web site that doesn't look
terribly dated.  I know there are places like Wix, etc. but looking for
something GPL, CC, etc.

Thanks.

AV is dead, long live AV!

Have you ever submitted a sample of malware to virustotal that has gotten
through all the AV & SPAM filters?  Usually, if it makes it through
relatively good defenses, it takes days for it to be detected by most of
the AV vendors.

Heuristics are more important than file matches nowadays.  Companies like
fireEye make their living on opening up samples in a sandbox, then alerting
after the fact that something got through.

Re: [brlug-general] Cox Residential and IPv6

[Shannon Roddy]

Glad it's working... been a while since I looked at pfsense.  Forgot it was
based on FreeBSD.  I might have to consider it next time I change my router
out... I'd like to go to a lower power system some day.

Re: [brlug-general] Cox Residential and IPv6

[Shannon Roddy]

I'm on Comcast... YMMV.  I have a debian box that is running as my router.
I couldn't get v6 to work with comcast with the ISC client.   I had to
install the wide-dhcpv6-client package and go from there.  That was for the
WAN connection.  Google around for the wide dhcp package and there are some
howto docs out there.  I had to cobble together some scripts to get it all
to work.

For the internal network, I chose to support auto config so that all my
devices would work... so, I'm running radvd on the internal interface of my
debian router.  Comcast supposedly will delegate larger than a /64, but I
gave up on getting that to work.  Seemed like the route wasn't getting set
on their end.

I ran into a number of issues getting it set up... and it's a bit hazy now
because it's been a while and I didn't keep good notes.  But, if you need
further info, I can look on my running system and let you know how I have
things here.

I'm afraid this place couldn't withstand any serious (or even casual)

Re: [brlug-general] Extending cell phone coverage

[Shannon Roddy]

I'm not a fan of the microcells or any solution that uses the network.  That
said, I've never used any of them.  That could be a topic for a long
conversation one day, but I'll spare everyone.

All that said, if I were to do something, I would use a true
repeater/amplifier with an external directional antenna, powered amplifier,
and an internal non-directional antenna unless you just want coverage in
certain areas of the building.  Typical cost seems to be $400-700 for the
true bidirectional amps, coax, antenna, etc.

Just my 2 cents.  I'd be interested to hear how it works out for your
customer.

Re: [brlug-general] Eatel wants in Baton Rouge

I've always liked Eatel as a company.  I wish they served my area.  I know a
very good network guy that went to work for them a couple years ago... I
think they both benefited from that deal.

I had eatel dialup for many, many years

Re: [brlug-general] Programming certification.

[Shannon Roddy]

That has been my exact experience.  Worse, one of the night classes I took,
the instructor was a Unisys employee by day and an instructor by night.  He
not only didn't know lots of material, he was factually incorrect on a lot
of it.  The worst part was this wasn't just a CE certification course.

Overall, my experience with LSU was certainly not worth the money I paid for
it, but I fear that it is the situation with many degree granting
institutions.

Re: [brlug-general] CentOS

[Shannon Roddy]

I've been bashing CentOS/RHEL for several years now, and everyone cried foul
for me doing so.  We have experienced serious breakage due to stale packages
as already mentioned before.  Not just feature issues, but breakage... as in
bugs that should be fixed with a simple package update.  Like syncrepl in
OpenLDAP being broken and no hope of a patch release.  Works fine on other
platforms.  Known bug... no patch or update from Red Hat.

Platforms at $DAY_JOB are now Debian or SL - CentOS no more.

I wish they could find a happy medium between stability & patches.  They
haven't found it yet IMO.

Re: [brlug-general] SATA cards

[Shannon Roddy]

When in Los Angeles a couple weeks ago, I didn't have much choice and found
an eSATA card in a Best Buy.  I'd probably go to a local shop here in Baton
Rouge (Tim's, C. Heaven, etc.) before I'd go to Best Buy, but if you *have*
to have one same day, they probably have them there.

[brlug-general] Low power, compact linux box

[Shannon Roddy]

Hi Folks,

I have a need for a low power consumption linux box.  Anyone using something
like this?  I'm thinking some of the small "nettops" or mini-itx boxes.
I've googled a bit, but if anyone has direct experience with this sort of
thing, input would be appreciated so I don't re-invent the wheel.

Something like this would be nice...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119032

or this:

http://www.hacom.net/catalog/openbrick-e-intel-600mhz-celeron-m

Has anyone been down this road before?  I would like low power consumption
so that it can run on a UPS for a long time for its intended use.  Doesn't
need much drive space (compacFlash or SSD is fine).  It will basically serve
as a network device to jump off to other devices.  Think like your typical
home linux NAT router or something along those lines.

Anyone have any product suggestions?  Tips?

Thanks,
Shannon

Re: [brlug-general] Open Source SPAM filtering

[Shannon Roddy]

Roaringpenguin.com

GUI-fied open source packages (or debian based appliance) for a not-so-bad
price with good support and feeds for rules.  Customizable per-domain and/or
per-user configurations, etc.  It just works.

Kerberos (or LDAP if I must).  But, assuming it is a framework then I can
just replace or modify the relevant function that does the actual password
change and still leverage all the email handling, input sanitization, html
output, etc. that would hopefully come with a framework.

[brlug-general] password reset - web based

[Shannon Roddy]

Does anyone know of an open source password reset framework out there that
can be used to aid in password reset via email?  You know... like all of
those sites that email a link to your email address for reset of a web
account?  I'd rather not write my own (poorly written) password reset
mechanism if there is one that exists already.

Re: [brlug-general] Apple

[Shannon Roddy]

For me, it's that it just freaking works.  No hardware issues, minimal
install on the server version so I get only what I want.  5 years support
for LTS server.

Don't get me started on Redhat/centos being years out of date... OpenLDAP
bugs that have been fixed for a *long* time are still broken in CentOS
current.  I know their main target is a stable platform on redhat
enterprise/CentOS, but jeeze... fix the bugs.  I don't like having to
compile from source unless I have to, and all too often, using CentOS means
having to compile.  Take postfix... I had to modify the spec file for the
RPM to include MySQL support and rebuild.

Ubuntu does what I want, when I want, and has reasonably current packages.
And it's still debian linux more or less, so I can edit config files to
customize it to do what/when I want the way I want.

Rant over.  :P

That's my point.  If enough people gripe, then they'll build in support for
encryption.  I'm not saying it's likely, I'm just saying it's possible.  So,
the data is encrypted at rest in the cloud and the data is encrypted in
transit.  Most people don't care... which is perhaps a large part of the
problem.

Someone please explain to me how this is email encryption?  Stripping
attachments and placing them on a web server does not make it "email
encryption".  Nor does placing a file on a SSL web server make the file
encrypted.

My $.02, probably worth less.

from them for >10 years... and they were my favorite vendor for tech
books.

Anyone have another source that focuses on computer oriented books?
(besides amazon, barnes & nobles, etc.  I liked bookpool since they
were strictly tech books, I didn't have to filter out all the other
crud, and they had excellent discounts and shipping.)

Back of the envelope shows an order of magnitude difference.  Even being

it's still an order of magnitude.


In fact, my back of the envelope comes pretty darned close this table:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population_density


Tokyo has a population density of 4,750/sq km.


Los Angeles: 2750
San Francisco/Oakland: 2350

New Orleans: 1950
New York: 2050
Honolulu: 1800

Denver: 1550
Chicago: 1500
Salt Lake: 1500
Sacramento: 1450
Phoenix: 1400
Riverside: 1350
Portland: 1300
Washington: 1300
San Antonio: 1250
Detroit: 1200
El Paso: 1200
Baltimore: 1150
Dallas: 1150
Houston: 1150
Austin:  1150
Seattle:  1100
Philly:  1100
Cleveland: 1050
Memphis: 950
Boston: 900
OKC: 900
Pittsburgh:  800
Albany: 750
Atlanta: 700
Baton Rouge: 650
Mobile: 600
Pensacola: 550
Knoxville: 500


Our largest cities are generally less than half as dense as Tokyo with the
exception of maybe Los Angeles and Frisco area.  Then you have to worry
about serving all the burbs, bedroom communities, and rural areas too.

Yeah.  That's one of the things everyone always forgets about.   However, I

Open source exchange replacement.  Now he who will remain nameless has
no excuse.  ;-)


"Over 150 man-years of work were added to the Open Source community
today when Zarafa decided to put their successful Exchange server
replacement under GPLv3. This is not just the typical
mail-server-that-works-with-Outlook, it is the whole package including
100% MAPI, web access, tasks, iCal and Activesync. (The native syncing
works great with my iPhone!) Binaries and source are available for all
major Linux distros."

Even with it being opt-in and having easy removal, you probably want
to think about where you send from.  I can't remember where I saw this
lately, but folks that send opt-in messages are getting nailed by
google/yahoo/etc. from people clicking the "this is spam" buttons when
they decide they don't want to receive their opted-in email anymore.
This can result in the domain or MX being blacklisted.

I'll have to think about it for a while and see if I can remember
where the thread or reference is.  So, you may want to set up a
specific domain for your newsletter just in case.

Re: [brlug-general] Slow NFS on GigE

[Shannon Roddy]

Find an NFS tuning guide... google.  Most things like block size, etc.
are tunable for NFS, and it may just be that you need to tune the r/w
block sizes.

Eg. for Solaris:

#  Maximize NFS block size

* Solaris 8 has a max of 32k
* Solaris 9 allows up to 1MB! (Solaris 9 NFS Server required)

# Set nfs3_bsize and nfs3_max_transfer_size system parameter on client
and server

* Futher tuning down of blocksize can be done via mount options:
rsize, wsize

What I was getting at was with your suggestion, did you mean use
google as a mail hosting provider, or as a passthrough spam filter.
What I need is a passthrough.

Do you mean google handles *everything* concerning email, or just filtering.

I have mailman mail lists set up on the host, so handing all of the

[brlug-general] spam filters

[Shannon Roddy]

Hi Folks,

I've got a couple of domains that receive email directly.  I do not
currently have any spam filters configured on them.  Things have
stayed below the radar... till now.

Does anyone know of :

a) a cheap or free service I can point my MX record to and have them
filter mail for me?
b) a fairly easy to use (free) set of scripts to "pre-train" something
like spamassassin?  I really don't want to learn the nitty gritty of
configuring it myself.

(A or B are preferable) or

c) a quick easy cheat sheet on configuring spamassassin and clamav on
Ubuntu (6.06 LTS)?

I really am time challenged lately, so I would prefer to point the MX
record elsewhere and let someone else filter the mail for me.

Thanks,
Shannon

Re: [brlug-general] shell script help

[Shannon Roddy]

Might you have to launch bash with the -m option?  as in #!!/bin/bash
-m in the head of the shell script?

-m  Monitor  mode.   Job  control  is enabled.  This option is on
by default for interactive shells on systems
  that support it (see JOB CONTROL above).
Background processes run in a separate process group and a  line
  containing their exit status is printed upon
their completion.

Perhaps it is not on by default unless run interactively?

Of course... I am assuming you are talking about bash...

Re: [brlug-general] Cox blocking email with numerical IP addresses.

[Shannon Roddy]

The vast majority of Cox subscribers are just tickled pink that Cox
filters out the crap from their inbox.  You, being the exception, are
intelligent enough to work around their blocks/filters.  It ain't
going to change.  A minor nitpick, but you pay for an ISP, not
bandwidth.  Totally different.

Get a domain name pointed there you cheap bastard!

Ok... joking aside, if I understand your problem correctly (I only
skimmed this thread so far), Will, you can easily get a free domain
name from someone like dynip, dyndns, or whatever pointed to your home
server.  Cox is just making an effort to protect their mindless
windows users from the latest round of storm virus greeting cards from
the sounds of it.  I'm not going to argue with you which is more
important, allowing you to send a link to your IP address, or
protecting a few thousand clueless users from the storm worm because I
know you would not be willing to concede that anything other than an
unrestricted net is the way to go, damn the consequences.

No kidding.  I am on a gig pipe to NLR/Internet2 and 512 to the
commodity 'net with a fully symmetric 10 meg backup pipe with a SLA.
Not exactly a consumer level connection.  Thought I would test this
out and I am currently getting ~10KB/sec.  I know exactly what the
topology between me and the backbone looks like, and there are no BT
filters or floods of RST packets inbound to me.  It just ain't a fast
torrent.  But, everyone prefers the conspiracies.  Oh... and before
someone asks me about utilization on my border router, it is 1-10%
usage on average.  Currently .16% tx and .05% rx. so I know there is
no bottleneck.  Upstream on the commodity backbone is currently ~13%
utilization.

That's not to say I don't disagree with what some ISPs *are* doing,
but in this case, it is not the conspiracy claimed.

"Gatekeeper Pico Pro™
Submitted by webmaster on Mon, 10/01/2007 - 10:08.
Extending corporate- level security to traveling laptops

Gatekeeper Pico Pro™ extends the same level of security enforced
within the corporate network to traveling laptops. All the security
appliances that can be usually found in the corporate server room are
packed into a tiny USB key-size security server with 13 security
applications. Finally the security of the entire corporate workforce,
both inside and outside the network, is centrally managed and enforced
by the IT organization.



The concept behind Yoggie is to provide traveling laptops with the
same level of security as within the corporate network. But how can
one make a server room full of security appliances available to
traveling users?
A powerful security processor

To make this possible Yoggie has invested years in the development of
a miniature security processor. The concept of specialized processors
is not new. During the 80's the mathematical processor was introduced.
According to this concept when complex calculations were needed, a
specialized mathematical processor would perform these tasks,
effectively offloading these specialized tasks from the main
processor. During the last 5 years, the same revolution took place
with the introduction of a specialized network processor that would
free the main processor from networking tasks.

Yoggie has been able to miniaturize the solution into a small device
with a powerful 520 MHz Intel Processor. It continues the trend of
offloading specialized tasks from the main processor, for performance.
But one of the main advantages of the specialized security processor
relates to security. "

I'm debating on punting and just setting up a table updated by hand.
It would be *really* nice to find something that would allow other

Total possible users is ~500 if you count everyone, however I don't

People are also free to make mistakes.  I make them every day.  ;-)
This is a linux list, but geez not everyone in the world wants or

exactly fit their needs.  Look at all the SUVs around with one person

Edmund,

You ever look into doing any of that in matlab?  There is the matlab
compiler which would make your code portable (and if I am not
mistaken, no licensing needed for the client, depending on the
licensing terms for redistributing?).  Just a thought  I know a
bunch of developers fluent in Matlab stuff if you want to compare
notes with someone.  And we do lots of FFTs, etc.

Baton Rouge is "class C" airspace, meaning that you must be in contact
with the controller, but you can just about fly where you want within
reason (since 9/11 over stadiums and large gatherings are off limits).
 It would probably be best to have a plan of where to go first and let
the controller know beforehand what areas/headings would be flown.  Of
course avoiding the approach paths to the runways would be a good idea
too unless the commercials don't mind being delayed due to me putzing
around.  ;-)
