Exactly designed to fit on a 4GB USB stick, yes. But otherwise sizes
are designed to fit various optical media. I *have* pondered about
doing slightly-undersized "DL-DVD" sized media again to fit on 8GB
media, but not sure tbh...

bash array

2018-01-14 Thread Gokan Atmaca 
Hello

I have the user list and the password list. I shot them with BASH. I
want to give passwords to the usernames in these separate files in
order.

File names:
Users.list
Passwords.list

In a loop, I have to not throw them into users of these passwords. I
did this for it, but it did not work.

#!bin/bash
passwords = $ (cat passwords.list)
for i in $ (cat passwordlist); do my program $ i $passwords; done


How do I make an Array? Or how can I solve it?

You may want to consider libdpkg-perl, python-debian, or ruby-debian

history issue - bug?

2018-01-14 Thread Hans 
Hi folks, 

try this:

1. login as normal user

2. become root with "su -"

3. delete history with "history -c"

4. Check history, history is gone

5. logout from root by "CTL + D" or "exit"

6. relogin as root with "su -"

7. Check history, voila, it appears again.

What is wrong? Is it a bug or am I doing the wrong way?

Any comment will help.

Too little context; what exactly doesn't work?

I'd suggest going in little chunks. First try:

  for i in $(cat passwords.list) ; do echo "<$i>" ; done

Does that do what you want?

Unrelated question: why are you doing in your first line

  passwords=$(cat passwords.list)

when in the second line you're doing $(cat passwordlist) anyway?
And shouldn't the second line be $(cat passwords.list?

(NOTE: to assign a shell variable, *no* space before the '='; this
won't work: the shell will read first 'passwords' then  and
try to interpret passwords as a command; but this first line seems
superfluous anyway).

> How do I make an Array? Or how can I solve it?

I don't think you need an array for what you are trying. But it
would make sense to get the shell basics straight, first.

Come back with more questions!

Presumably you mean you just tried to recall a command and failed.
Make that command "ls -l ~/.bash_history" and you'll see the file

Distinguish between history list and history file.

To eliminate your history, you need to remove/empty the file and
also clear the list just before you logout.

If a file is in a folder below a hidden folder, it will *NOT* be found.
This happens even when "Show hidden and backup files" is chosen.
It does not matter if logged-in as superuser.
I proved it by copying a folder under a hidden folder to a normal 
folder. Target file was found.

In my eyes this is a security hole, as someone, who gaines root somehow (what

As I said, history -c should delete ALL traces of history, just as the help

In this case, I recommend this as a failure-by-design.

It looks like we understand different. 

-cclear the history list by deleting all of the entries

It says: .ALL of the entries

IMHO all means ALL, regardless in which file or if in memory.
Otherwise this command would not make any sense, too.

Of course, one can see it in another way than me...

Some clarification would help:

   * Do youi really need an email server on this machine, or do you just need 
the capability to send and receive email?  I guess I'm not familiar enough 
with Mediawiki--does it need an email server?

In my (old) installations of TWiki, the ability to send and receive email was 
all I needed.

I don't know if I want to comment or not.  To me, it takes a fairly savvy user 
to recognize that list and file are not synonymous--for many casual users 
(including me, and I consider myself generally as something more than just a 
casual user), that documentation is not sufficient.

At the risk of overkill, I would have written the documentation with a note to 
clarify exactly what I said above--something like (with a not full 
understanding of where / how the list is stored):

"clear ... the list, but please note that there is both a list with the 
command history, and a file.  History -c clears that list, but not the file, 
and 
when events occuur (like a new login), the history list is restored from the 
history file.  The history file is in , and if you want to eradicate 
most traces of the history file, you must also delete that file, and, 
potentially, if that critical, any backups.

To me, if it will not be considered a bug in the implementation of the history 
command, it is a bug in the documentation.  (Of course, I haven't gone looking 
for documentation on the history command, perhaps this behavior is reasonably 
documented.  I would think it should be covered under the -h option, or maybe 
if several options need to discuss the existence of the history file, at least 
a note under the -h option something like: : see  for discussion of 
the history file and the distinction between it and the history list.

you don't usually install a mail server for each application and make it
public

you usually relay the mail traffic to dedicated mail server.
this dedicated mail server takes care of the mail exchange with the world.
this mail server is responsible for filtering spam or signing messages, so
that they won't be rejected by other mail servers.

reconsider your design. otherwise you should set up an official mail server
with all it takes.

You are the one who is imposing "...in which file or if in memory".
All does mean ALL (you're not a politician, are you :) ). The commands
used in a session are saved in memory in a *list* and written to a

I have a similar setup but don't use spam control. First get the mail
server sending and receiving reliably. Then add spam filters. No links
from me, I'm afaid; you should be able to locate plenty. It could be
exim4-daemon-heavy is a better fit for your situation.

If you did not use a mail server, you were not *receiving* email but,

Printing problem

2018-01-14 Thread arne 
Hi,

My printer suddenly didn't show up in the Print Windows
of Libre Office, Firefox and a lot of other programs.

I can however Print to File in pdf or ps and print those with lpr
from the command line.

The printer shows up in CUPS page and I can print the test page from
CUPS.

I did try reinstalling its driver software, removed and added the
printer with CUPS again.


It is a WiFi Brother HL-L2340DW laserprinter.

some data I collected, I can not find any error there:

As you say, you won't have trouble finding basic instructions. What you
probably won't find is exactly what you're looking for.

There *is* a ridiculous amount of spam flying about, there's nothing
you can do about that. It's a lot less than it used to be, my record
for mail server rejections in a day is over 12,000. Yes, that's three
noughts, though it was many years ago.

> I want to eliminate that 

That's probably too ambitious. What you should be able to do is to
reduce it to a manageable amount.

I've taken this further than many people: nearly twenty years ago, I
tried challenging the orthodox position that posting to Usenet and
other fora should be done from a mangled or disposable address. I
decided to use a normal, valid email address, and see what the
consequences were. I've tried SpamAssassin, but that seemed to need a
great deal of maintenance, being an arms race between the spammers and
me. Every couple of weeks, they would find a new technique that had to
be explicitly dealt with.

So now, in order of effectiveness:

1. Don't implement a catch-all address, this will indeed catch all of
the spam. The greatest single anti-spam technique is for the SMTP
server to accept mail only for the server's named users, which is the
default. It's not quite as effective as it used to be, as almost all
spam used to be NDR spam: deliberately misaddressed, in order to get a
POP3-based system to bounce it to a forged Reply-To address, thereby
laundering it. Much less NDR spam these days, only five out of my 13
rejects yesterday were NDR.

2. Refuse mail where there is no proper reverse DNS record (PTR) for
the sender address. This is slightly risky, as a few small businesses
use mail 'providers' who seem less than clued-up about running mail
servers. You *do* have a static address and a proper A-PTR DNS record
pair for your mail server, don't you? There will be trouble otherwise.
I do drop the occasional debian-user email as the d-u DNS server seems
a bit slow to respond sometimes. The Debian exim4 setup only provides a
warning message about faulty reverse DNS, but I and most others change
this to 'deny'. Four of the 13 rejects fell foul of this one.

3. Refuse mail from non-existent domains. Exim4 has fine control over
sender verification, in that for senders with domains not hosted on the
server, it can verify the domain only, while verifying the full email
address for hosted domains. This allows rejection of made-up domains,
which helps a little, though spammers can register unlimited silly
domain names fairly cheaply. The sender verify will also pick up
spammers claiming to be random users on your domain, a common trick.

4. Keep blacklists of IP CIDR blocks, spamming domain names and, if
your business model allows, entire top-level domains.The
files /etc/exim4/local_host and .._sender blacklists and whitelists are
a convenient place for these. My current local_host_blacklist contains
just over 500 CIDR blocks, including three /8 blocks. I also have a list
of 34 country codes and the TLDs .win, .biz, .click and .zip, and reject
sender address PTRs and HELO strings containing them.

There is a certain amount of spam that won't be caught this way. I have
a ~.forward file on the server that routes half a dozen types of
machine email, including debian-user and logcheck stuff, into IMAP
folders. I route about another forty entries into the Spam folder, such
as 'medica', 'iploma' and other likely string fragments in the Subject:
header, and 'googlegroups' and others in the From: header.

After all that, I still pick one or two spams a day out of my inbox,
but I can live with that, and if any of them offend me sufficiently I
might modify one of the defences to deal with it. Sometimes I do
contact the senders' ISP where that may be helpful (from an .edu
domain, for example) but usually it's a waste of effort. The big email
providers like Google and Yahoo pretty much don't accept email abuse
complaints, which is naughty.

As others have said, if you allow your mail server to be used as a
relay, such as by applications, you need to allow relaying only of
authenticated email from only those sources. There's loads of
information about that on the Net, if you allow anyone who connects
from outside to your mail server to relay (send email to someone your
server doesn't store email for) then you will be found by spammers and
your IP address blacklisted almost instantly. There are numerous
websites which will test your mail server, and one of the tests is
invariably for relaying

if you need the English output messages you can get these simply with

LC_ALL=C dpkg-query ...

Maybe you could alternatively use the apt list command (however it
should be noted that the developers still say the apt command
should be used only with care in scripts (see man apt)).

The output of apt list here looks like:

$ LC_ALL=C apt list gawk git cmake konsole foobar 2> /dev/null | grep installed
cmake/stable,now 3.7.2-1 amd64 [installed]
gawk/stable,now 1:4.1.4+dfsg-1 amd64 [installed]
git/stable,stable,now 1:2.11.0-3+deb9u2 amd64 [installed]

$ LC_ALL=C apt list gawk git cmake konsole foobar 2> /dev/null | grep -v 
installed
Listing...
konsole/stable 4:16.12.0-4 amd64

The non-existing "foobar" package simply appears in neither of these
commands' output.
Not sure what exactly you want to achieve, maybe this might be a way to go.

Best regards

Michael

Not many in this context, probably. But precision and the desire to
educate has never been amongst the strong points of commentators on
email. You would soon notice the difference if you had to collect
your mail from a Royal Mail office instead of having it delivered.
Apart from having to travel to collect it, "spam" control is handled
differently in each case.

from WiFi and smart home devices.  Basically, I am looking for something
simple, which plugs into Ethernet, and makes its data available via HTTP
and/or telnet (or any other simple text-based protocol).  If it includes
some other fancy features (e.g., sending email alerts, SNMP traps, etc.)
then that is OK too.  I don't care whether it does onboard data storage.

I intend to integrate this with my own existing monitoring solution that
already includes Icinga, some custom scripts, logcheck alerts, and a few
other odds and ends (e.g., email alerts from apcupsd for power outages).

Any suggestions?

Regards,

-Roberto



Maybe you could think about some of those sensors:

https://www.modmypi.com/electronics/sensors-347/temperhum-usb-temperature-and-humidity-sensor/
https://www.modmypi.com/electronics/sensors-347/temper-gold-original-usb-temperature-sensor
https://www.modmypi.com/electronics/sensors-347/temper2-usb-dual-temperature-sensor/

For example, I managed to get some incomplete results with TEMPerHUM 
temperature & humidity sensor and temper-python 
(https://github.com/padelt/temper-python) in Wheezy. I sent my reports 
to ModMyPi, www.modmypi.com, to post them on their website. You may 
check there. I wish I had an option to get the monitored data written 
into a file that, in turn, my amateur radio software could recognize as 
a source of APRS 'weather data'. (When I experimented with that sensor, 
a command executed in CLI only returned a single line of data at a time, 
so that did not satisfy my needs. So I would appreciate whether 
temper-python or some other software could be upgraded in that direction.)

setting gpg keyserver & source-list in 443-https

2018-01-14 Thread sejobud33 
how-to setting gpg keyserver & source-list in 443-https

- gpg (2.1.18) was installed by default without .conf & .dirmngr
i followed this how-to but it does not work.
https://sks-keyservers.net/overview-of-pools.php
hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net
This is a pool containing only servers available using hkps.


- the sources-list (stable 9.3) was installed by default without https.
installing apt-transport-http should solve it.
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/apt-transport-https
If you specify https:// URLs in /etc/apt/sources.list and
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/*, then APT will use HTTPS.


but it does not work ...
gpg is still set in hkp & the sources-list are downloaded in http.
do you know an updated how-to or the reason why it does not work using
443/https ?

It's probably the exposure to Windows that does it.

So gpg is working for you?

The source lists have nothing to do with gpg. The signing keys are verified
via gpg and you have to download the signing keys - there is instruction in
each release how to do this.

The question was already ask and it was explained why it is safe to download
the list(s) via http

Problem using "dpkg -i"

2018-01-14 Thread Richard Owlett 
A long time ago I had used Amaya, a HTML editor available at 
.

I know, it's OLD. But I've used it ;/

I did:
dpkg -i /home/richard/Downloads/amaya_11.4.7-1_i386.deb

Received error message:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of amaya:
 amaya depends on libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8m-1); however:
  Package libssl0.9.8 is not installed.

However Synaptic indicates that libssl1.0.2 is installed.

Questions:
1. Can I "fix" the install?
2. Is there a recommended HTML editor in the repository that"
   A. simple UI
   B. can render the code so I can tell if my changes display
  as intended?

TIA

In /etc/cups/client.conf I usually put the server name

#ServerName myhost.domain.com

ServerName 


then 

lpstat -a

$ lpstat -a

you need 'shared' configured on the print server for the printer(s)
