Re: [Haifux] Reporting forum spammers per IP
I'd second Orna's approach, with a refinement: - IP range ban should be temporarily - only select eu/us/ca ISPs' abuse teams should be contacted. Also, worth mentioning: I've just snooped around for python IP ownership lookups (via RIRs DBs) and found no 1 tool for this. It is strange, maybe people approach this problem differently ? Like a fail2ban hook maybe ? (http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Apache) Regards.

How one presents a foundation expenses paid by a private person in the annual report ? If there is a bank account, the only thing to add to that is to print the receipt/invoice, and add a line. Is it more complicated ? If not, I'd think of funds raising for a project (h/w purchase, for example): it would be legally feasible. otherwise - a real fuss.

Re: [Haifux] Login console freezes: Eli's weekly riddle
hi, Eli, et al. It's all in all a very interesting thread :) I have 2 points of contribution: 1) I hope I didn't miss a sentence in one of the emails "I've searched the google for 48 hours for similar problem..." Are there any other people like yourself in the world ? (I don't mean you're not unique and interesting guy, but I mean if there are any reports on problem like yours... in the kernel mailing lists ? or fedora ? ) 2) Also, really to the point, I do not dispute it may be the kernel code to blame. But let's localize it: The problem may be not in the reading the tty/pts, but with input-output synchronization. I have noticed the opening of the device is done with these options: O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY I can imagine a situation when your tty does open quickly, but the call also may ask the display to be redrawn. if there's some text in the output buffer, from previous application, for example. And until writing to console has completed the redraw the open() call is stuck. And yes, I know what O_NOCTTY means. so... on that note, it is possible the problem is with the framebuffer code. To see if this is true, disable all the framebuffer stuff. See how it performs. And get back to us :) Shabat Shalom.

Re: [Haifux] Router question
have you played with the mtu ? Often times the dhcp server on the home router giveth the mtu of 1500. It is perfectly OK if you either: - don't use VPN from router to ISP - use encryption (when wifi frame < IP frame sent from the router to the ISP) Otherwise, you get 1 packet of the internal network is wraped into more than 1 packets to the outside world. This (IIRC) is IPv4 problem (fragmentation), and some routers don't do this well. To resolve it you can make sure that 1 wifi packet = 1 outgoing packet of your router to the ISP, by reducing the MTU on the clients, or by using no VPN connection. I remember MTU<=1452 used to be the magic number back in the DSL PPTP days. I bet you could somehow sniff the packets, to verify, but I don't know how to sniff the VPN packets if the router is the one who dials. But still, I hope this is a useful hint ;-) On Sat, Oct 16, 2010 at 7:59 PM, Ohad Lutzky wrote: > traceroute is ICMP.

Re: [Haifux] Coputer stores in Haifa with Linux in mind
Most of the Haifa computer stores I've dealt with (bug, ksp, marganit, panda, etc.) Will help you with a specific single question, like "Can you tell me if a card XXX is supported by Linux OS?" Otherwise, It is unclear from your email if by your "good intention to support a store" you actually mean: "I will do them a favour and buy a computer from them" or do you mean: "I am ready to pay good money for the consultation they give me in purchasing a linux compatible hardware". If the 1st, then ... well, the stores will not close if YOU do not buy from them. And If the latter, you should make yourself clear on that to the store. And I hope you can see a difference. M.

Re: [Haifux] Where were the organizers?
I think a good idea is to set up a "chain of command" as people do in the armies. It is also a good thing from organizational perspective. This chain of command should work with the faculty people (Moti or Alex or whoever), and not every willing lecturer. If the obliged representative is not able to arrive they *has to* ping the next in the chain, to at least make sure the door is open and for *the right* people (there are also some faculty security aspects - equipment had been stolen in the past) of course: IMHO.

Re: [Haifux] SVN quota
I think there is a problem to run the quota query from a web server, b/c the UID of the webserver process is not allowed to run quota stuff, and all the web technologies usually limit setuid() related stuff. And you don't want to run a CGI script as root, you really don't. So, the only relatively safe solution would be to build 2 scripts: 1. script to generate the quota database, and it should run once per 1-5 minutes 2. CGI/FastCGI/WSCGI script to query that database If users' repositories reside on the expense of their home directories, maybe a webmin/usermin web application allows to watch quota status with some nice module, SQLite looks like a good candidate, but even CSV is ok, as long as you make sure you use flock() like functions to lock the db file properly when you read/write, etc. Regards.

Re: [Haifux] SVN quota
hi Shahar! A possible solution if your svn repository is stored on a filesystem could be a "pre-commit hook" script, that would basically: * check user's/project's repository quota against filesystem * act accordingly to the result, upon: * OK - do commit * Warning (quota threshold reached) - print the result, and commit * Quota exceeded - print the result and NOT commit Of course take care of the return values of the script properly. The script may even send an email to the user, if you have email in NIS. I do not know how different SVN clients would respond to the non-standard messages in the output of SVN client. This is what you will have to check for yourself.
