[ilugd] Running Apache context

2004-12-09 Thread Yashpal nagar
Hi List,

We have a website http://foo.com at IP 172.16.1.1, and a context
http://foo.com/somelink where /somelink is at 172.16.1.2 different
server.

In otherwords user should always see website is at IP 172.16.1.1
(through DNS lookups etc) but when you run http://foo.com/somelink it is
running  from a different server IP  172.16.1.2 without change in main
domain name.

Fact is i don't want to reveal users the actual IP where is website
(http://foo.com/somelink, 172.16.1.2)  hosted.

Any pointers etc would be  of great help!
Regards,
Yash

Hi,

You can do the follwoing two steps to achieve this:

1. create a host in your DNS like 
somelink.foo.com with ip 172.16.1.2

2. Create a rewrite rule in your apache on 172.16.1.1, where 
http://foo.com/somelink redirects to http://somelink.foo.com

Hope this helps...

[ilugd] Code theft or liberalisation?

Code theft or liberalisation?

December 9 2004
Christiaan Erasmus

An interesting row is brewing between SugarCRM and vTiger CRM, which 
could have a large impact for open source developers.

SugarCRM is a brilliant CRM (Client Relationship Management) application 
that achieved the prestigious award of being SourceForge.net's Project 
of the Month during October. SugarCRM is released as a free downloadable 
version and an optimised Professional version that is charged for on an 
annual per user basis.

Recently vTiger took SugarCRM's source code, stripped the logos, added 
an installer and released it as vTiger CRM. I am not a lawyer but it 
appears to be legal to do this under the SugarCRM Public Licence (SPL), 
which is an adapted version of the Mozilla Public Licence. vTiger then 
went further to ensure that they adhere to the SPL by publicly stating 
that it is based on SugarCRM code and kept the copyright notices intact.

However, on the launch of vTiger a SugarCRM developer named John (it 
later emerged that it was John Roberts a lead SugarCRM developer) placed 
the following rant on one of the vTiger forums:

vtiger is a lie - the legal product is called SugarSales from SugarCRM Inc.

We do not think it very cool of you to claim ownership to something you 
did not write one line of code for.

Best regards,
The SugarSales development team.
john at sugarcrm.com


Within 3 hours the vTiger Team responded in such a brilliant way that 
you must think that it was premeditated. They posted an open letter to 
Eric Raymond, President of the Open Source Initiative. vTiger state 
their case impeccably in this letter and you can see that they consulted 
a lawyer. Apparently SugarCRM also removed their SPL licence (v1.1.2) 
from their website but vTiger included a copy in the letter to Raymond.

Forking the source code was ingenious on vTigers part, as they became 
the guardians of a completely open source project. The funny thing is 
that the vTiger community might now grow quicker because they do not 
have the conflict of determining which features to place in the free or 
paid for version.

vTiger did not just hijack the project but are actively enhancing the 
application with added functionality such as an Outlook plug-in, which 
is only available as a trial version for the free SugarCRM version. 
Interestingly vTiger says that the Outlook plug-in is their contribution 
which, if true, might still create a licence conflict.

The question that has to be asked is whether a paid-for and free 
business model can co-exist in the open source world. I am sure there 
are projects that work successfully on this model but none that I can 
think of offhand. You are most probably saying hey what about Red Hat, 
but you can download and compile RHEL yourself, such as done by the 
White Box Linux project.

This is going to become very interesting feud and I look forward to see 
how SugarCRM will counter this. There are many options available to 
SugarCRM such as changing their business model or just offering a 
superior product and service. Only time will tell.

[ilugd] Just two minutes for ur country

2004-12-09 Thread anuj agarwal
Dear friends,

   People worldwide are casting there votes to
elect the New Seven Wonders of the world. Initially,
there will be  short-listing for 21 monuments till
February and then the voting will continue and will be
announcing the New SevenWonders
of the World on January 1, 2006.

  The Taj Mahal, for which we are proud to be,
is also in the competition.
  As of yesterday, Great wall of China is
leading with higher votes and the Taj is in the
seventh place.

  To bring this china wall to first position,
more than 50%of votes are cast  from the home country
china. Unfortunately, the Taj is in the seventh
position because of only 1.9% of votes from Indians.

  Can we spend sometime to cast our votes ?
   
 Just login www.new7wonders.com and cast your vote.

Please circulate this to your friends and let us
retain the Taj Mahal as one among them.

I suggest we vote the ``free software'' sellers in Nehru Place as the

to this list.

I feel strongly about lots of things but I don't necessarily have to
use this list as a platform for promoting all of them.  Please take

[ilugd] (fwd) [SECURITY] KDE Security Advisory: plain text password exposure

KDE Security Advisory: plain text password exposure
Original Release Date: 2004-12-09
URL: http://www.kde.org/info/security/advisory-20041209-1.txt

0. References

http://www.sec-consult.com/index.php?id=118


1. Systems affected:

All KDE 3.2.x releases, KDE 3.3.0, KDE 3.3.1 and KDE 3.3.2.


2. Overview:

Daniel Fabian notified the KDE security team about a possible
privacy issue in KDE. When creating a link to a remote file
from various applications including Konqueror, the resulting
URL may contain the authentication credentials used to access
that remote resource. This includes, but is not limited to
browsing SMB (Samba) shares. Further investigation revealed
unnecessary exposure of authentication credentials by the
SMB (Samba) protocol handler. 

The link reference file, which is a file with the extension
.desktop, is a plain text configuration file that is created
with default access permissions, depending on the users' umask
this could include world read permission. Usually the URL saved
in this .desktop file only contains the password if the user
manually entered it this way. The SMB protocol handler however
unnecessarily exposes authentication credentials by always
including this information in the URL that it generates.

The KDE team provides patches which will unconditionally
remove the password from the authentication credentials
before creating the link reference file and that fix the SMB
protocol handler to not unnecessarily include passwords
in URLs Authentication credentials can then be stored in
KWallet instead.


3. Impact:

A user may inadvertly expose passwords provided for SMB shares
or other passwords that were entered as part of an URL.


4. Solution:

Users should verify that links to remote files do not contain
password information by right-clicking the link and selecting
the Properties option and then selecting the URL tab.

The KDE 3.3.2 release contains most fixes already, therefore
the patch set to apply to KDE 3.3.2 is less than for other
KDE versions.

Source code patches have been made available which fix these
vulnerabilities. Contact your OS vendor / binary package provider
for information about how to obtain updated binary packages.

 I am not hoping to start a relgious war here but I was wondering how
 strict should one enforce the idea of bottom or inline posting vs top

 I understand the idea that we should have the complete context in place
 but does that really mean I should be forced to bottom post even if I
 am giving a two line reply to a two line request ?

 My observation is :

 1. top post if you are giving a one line reply to a one line request

this is ok if there is only a single reply to a thread. if there are
further responses to thread, then this becomes difficult.

 2. Bottom post if you are replying to a substantially long request and
 the complete text is required to understand your reply. Also bottom
 post only if your reply is short and answers the whole block.

this results in what is called full quoting. for a single line reply,
the whole message is quoted.

 3. Inline post if you are replying to a posting in parts.


do i have to say which method *i* like the best.

But somelink.foo.com would have to resolve to a IP, and thus failed.

Here let me tell you that application is a finance related application.
And idea is to not showing url or letting anyone know the source host.

First host is a webserver  and then redirected to the application 
server, sun apps server.

  Amendment to Patents Act this month
 
 And now a small explanation on why if your job is developing software, 
 you should be worried.  Firstly have a look at this article to see why 
 software patents are bad 


More than software patents, there is something very basic that is going
to be threatened by this law - medicines. I have blogged about this on
http://www.sandipb.net/blog/archives/2004/12/02/brazil-to-break-drug-
patents/

The latest Tehelka issue gives some very good figures about this.Some
studies have shown that the prices of medicines are going to increase by
250% by the end of January.

Whether it is software or medicine, patents by its very concept brings
harm to our society far more than the benefits. Imagine an AIDS cure
thas been found but because of the patents law, only the very rich can
cure themselves in the next 20 years! The medicine world(and I feel in
some way the IT world too) also uses the dangerous practicing of
evergreening of patents. That is, different components of the patented
object have different lifespans, and by changing critical molecules and
renewing patents of some, the patent lifespan is increased even beyond
20 years.

If this patent law is actually enforced, India is going to see a major
social crisis in the years to come. My blog above talks about how Brazil
as a country has decided to allow breaking of a few critical patents
needed to save the country from such a crisis that they already have in
their midst.
