apt upgrade

2004-09-05 Thread Ivan Adams
Hi,
I used script with apt-get upgrade -y on Debian 3.0 Woody in crond.
Everything was ok when one day call me for problem in that linux.
When I enter in console I saw in logs that previous day he was apt-get
upgrade -y
and upgraded squid. The problem was the new version of squid has one
more option in squid.conf, and i have to append the file and done the
job by hand.
My quiestion is how I can avoid that kind of problems when on some
Debian I have that kind of apt scripts.

radiusd-freeradius

2003-05-30 Thread ivan-debian-isp
Can anyone briefly summarize the current state of the radiusd-freeradius
packages?  From what I can tell, the packages were withdrawn for
some combination of immaturity/stability/maintainer interest, but there
was also an issue with the rlm_pgsql module linking with SSL - was that
ever resolved?

I'm probably interested in reviving radiusd-freeradius if I'm not
stepping on anyone's toes.

Or have folks switched to other RADIUS servers?  Is there anything else
that authenticates from and logs to MySQL/PgSQL databases?  using the
same schema or a different schema?

[ANNOUNCE] Freeside 1.4.0beta1, open-source billing for ISPs

2002-07-04 Thread Ivan Kohler
Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the first beta release of Freeside 1.4.0.
Freeside is a web-based, open-source billing and account administration
package for ISPs, web hosts, and similar businesses.

You can see a web demo, read the documentation, and download the new beta
at http://www.sisd.com/freeside/.

ObDebian: Although Freeside is not yet packaged, the dependancies are
available in unstable and woody.


Major new features in 1.4.0 include:

- Billing engine has been rewritten and now has support for easily added
  price plans.  Included price plans include anniversary billing,
  1st-of-the-month billing (pro-rated and subscription), free for N days,
  commissions for referrals and per-minute/per-hour charges.

- Customer-to-customer referrals, tracking and commissions.

- Configurable invoice events triggered for delinquent customers can
  re-send invoices, suspend accounts, charge late fees, and so on.

- Export and provisioning system has been rewritten.  New provisioning
  methods can now be plugged-in for any service type.  Included exports
  include BSD and Linux password files, configurable shell commands,
  RADIUS (both text and SQL, including groups), BIND configuration files,
  Cyrus, vpopmail, and many others.

- Complete set of history tables tracking all changes to the database.

- Job queue with display and retry for provisioning tasks.

- UI overhaul - easier to navigate and use.  Quick package order and
  one-time charges.  Separate billing and service contact information.
  Customer comments.

- Performance optimizations.

- Financials have been rewritten.  Apply payments and credits against
  specific invoices (in whole or in part), or have the system apply
  automatically.

- Texas tax.

- Improved documentation and easier install.

Very much so, yes.  There's a woefully incomplete and out-of-date debian/
directory in the distibution - the only thing of note is debian/control,
which had my preliminary thoughts on how to separate the distribution into
different target packages. 

I also sent a message to the debian-perl list recently regarding

Re: unstable is unstable; stable is outdated

Donovan Baarda wrote:
  What do you think of having a mini distribution that limits the number of
  packages allowed?
 
 Why not just call it debian-core. Then you can have debian-gnome,
 debian-kde, debian-xfree etc. Each of these can be implemented as
 seperate distro's with their own releases, using Packages files pointing
 into the pool.

I was thinking something similar to this would be cool, just I wouldn't
like to have to add a lot of lines in my sources.list.

Maybe something like tasks with versions could be used. Packages from
other tasks (or the task itself) could depend on a certain version of
another task instead of depending on many packages within that task.

Tasks that are not yet released could be called unstable, testing, and
stablish (maybe somthing better). Unstable would have new untested
packages. Testing would have packages that passed some automated tests.
Stablish would have packages that were in testing and didn't have any
important bug reports within a certain amount of time. Maybe there could
be one more for alplha and beta versions of packages.

If all works well, unstable should have the lastes packages and be a
little stable, testing should be a little less stable than Red Hat,
stablish should be a little more stable than Red Hat, and stable should
be as stable as it's always been, but more up to date. :)

 This paritions the dependancies, making it all easier to manage, speeding
 the release cycle and potentialy allowing people to mix-n-match stable-core
 with unstable-gnome if they wish.

Yup. :)

P.S. I think we need a better name than stablish... Maybe call that
stable and the current stable rockstable??? Also maybe they souldn't
be called tasks but something new. I'm not good at making up names.

 What I want is to serve a domain (domain.com) and when a box trying

 like: ok I serve thar domain and the user exists, but deliver the mail
 to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
 I understand that if I use the .forward in the user account I
 would get the same effect except that the mail would be sent to my
 server and then my server would forward to the 2nd address -- spends
 bandwith!!!
 
 I think SMTP does't support that but.. just in case!

I don't know if you can do that without modifying some code. What we are
doing is using port forwarding to forward port 25 to a host on our
internal network, but that forwards all traffic to port 25 of that IP
address, not just mail for a certain domain, and it also doesn't
translate usernames.

Anyways, even if you do forward it like that, you won't save any
bandwidth, only a little disk space maybe.

¿Why can't you just change the MX to point to the other server?

ANNOUNCE: Freeside 1.3.1

2001-06-03 Thread ivan

I'm happy to announce the release of Freeside 1.3.1.

Freeside is an open-source billing and account administration package for
ISPs.

You can download the new version, read the documentation, and play with a
web demo at http://www.sisd.com/freeside.

This is also a request-for-assitance from a more experienced Debian
developer for assistance packaging the software.  I've packaged some
simple programs, but the amount of integration a central billing database
has with other systems is making packing difficult.

All of the dependencies are already packaged and in woody.  For potato, I
maintain an apt-able repository of the necessary Perl modules: 

deb http://cleanwhisker.420.am/pub/debian-unoff stable main

1.3.1 is a bugfix release which fixes all currently known problems with
1.3.0.  If the 1.3.0 verison gave you problems, give this version a try.

New features of the 1.3.x series include:

- Database transactions
- Web aging reports
- Export of BIND and Apache configuration files.
- Session monitor to track and limit usage on a time

ANNOUNCE: Freeside 1.3.1

2001-06-03 Thread ivan
I'm happy to announce the release of Freeside 1.3.1.

Freeside is an open-source billing and account administration package for
ISPs.

You can download the new version, read the documentation, and play with a
web demo at http://www.sisd.com/freeside.

This is also a request-for-assitance from a more experienced Debian
developer for assistance packaging the software.  I've packaged some
simple programs, but the amount of integration a central billing database
has with other systems is making packing difficult.

All of the dependencies are already packaged and in woody.  For potato, I
maintain an apt-able repository of the necessary Perl modules: 

deb http://cleanwhisker.420.am/pub/debian-unoff stable main

1.3.1 is a bugfix release which fixes all currently known problems with
1.3.0.  If the 1.3.0 verison gave you problems, give this version a try.

New features of the 1.3.x series include:

- Database transactions
- Web aging reports
- Export of BIND and Apache configuration files.
- Session monitor to track and limit usage on a time
  (hourly/minutely) basis.  This can be used, with RADIUS, to keep track
  of NAS ports, and can also be used to implement hotel- or cafe- type
  access, where the user must sign in on a webpage before being granted
  access to the network.  In conjunction with the session server, prepaid
  cards can now be for an amount of time rather than money.

Enjoy!

ObDebian: I develop on Debian and am a Debian developer.  I'd very much
like to upload Freeside packages for 2.3 soon.  I'm sorry if the rather
generic announcment was a put-off.  I'm specifically interested in
packaging the software for Debian and it's turning out to be a rather
large and hairy problem due to the number of different systems the
central billing database interacts with.  Help would be most welcome. 

In the meantime, I've packaged up the missing perl library dependencies
and uploaded them to unstable (this was a couple weeks ago, so they should
be on all the mirrors by now).

Re: Dial-on-demand only works once for a client of the linux-PC

2000-12-01 Thread Kasatenko Ivan Alex.


 A reboot of the linux router gives the windows98-pc again exactly one
 possible activation of the dial-on-demand function on it.


Just try to restart PPPD. It dies, supposingly. Maybe, you should put it into 
inittab with "nodetach" option, it's up to you.

JCR Does anyone have any answers to any of these questions?

Roaming users with Postfix

2000-09-18 Thread Ivan Vilata i Balaguer

Hi all!

I have recently put together a debian potato postfix package with
the SMTP AUTH patch.  The options permit_our_users and
permit_smtp_authenticated work OK, i.e. users can authenticate with
their logion and password.  However, postfix keeps denying relaying (?)
to other domains from non-local (random) IPs.

So, how could I configure postfix to allow relaying for any
domain from any IP when the user has AUTHenticated?

Thanx in advance!

Disallowing SITE CHMOD in ProFTPD

2000-08-17 Thread Ivan Vilata i Balaguer


Hi all!

I'd like to know if someone has managed to forbid SITE CHMOD
execution for certain users in potato's ProFTPD.  My particular
situation is a group of users (with chroot() jail) which should
not be able to issue "chmod ..." command to the server.  I've tried
Limit {SITE,CHMOD,SITE CHMOD} with DenyGroup and it doesn't work.
It does however with commands such as RETR, DELE and so forth.
Package version is 1.2.0pre10-2 (hey, from our "stabilized" potato).

Thanks for the help.

POP + Maildir not at HOME

2000-06-12 Thread Ivan Vilata i Balaguer

Hi all,

We are trying to set up a Debian mail server running potato.  We
are planning to use Postfix as an MTA and Maildir as the mail storing
format.  The server should be able to handle POP requests for the users
to read their mail (we are an ISP that provides PPP connections).

However, we would like to separate home directories from mail
directories so we can stablish different quotas and/or filesystems,
such as ReiserFS.

So I have a pair of questions:

- Can Postfix be configured to store mails in maildir format in a
  dirtectory other than the user's home?
- What POP server could I use that supported Maildir?  I've heard
  of the POP server provided with Qmail.  And, if the maildir affair
  would not be possible, which POP server would you recommend
  anyway?

Well, thanks a lot in advance, and keep on dpkging!
