Re: [ilugd] Problem with MSCHAP authentication in FreeRadius
hi Dhiraj,
Ideally your test setup should be
supplicant --- access_point -- Radius ---Active directory
directly having the radius authenticate using MSCHAP for AD does not solve your
problem.
here you can change Active directory to local authentication first and then if
it is done check if your access point is able to understand session states for
MSCHAP.
the problem is with adding states(MSCHAP) to stateless prtotcol(Radius), though
it is possible in theory if your access_point understands the session states
and take appropriate action.
some of the wifi access_points and corresponding routers are able to do that.
In your logs it appears that decryption is not properly done leading to failure
in authentication.
As you are saying PAP works fine I would suggest first get the above mentioned
setup first with PAP and then work through the permutation and combination.
HTH,

Subject: [ilugd] Problem with MSCHAP authentication in FreeRadius
Hi
I have been trying to implement radius authetication server at my
workplace. The idea is to have all wifi access points authenticate against
a radius server.
The radius server needs to pass authentication to a backend Active
Directory server. I have been sucessful in authenticating wifi users
against file based and SQL based authentication in radius. NTLM_AUTH using
PAP also works fine, wherein plaintext password is sucessfully
authenticated against the AD and I get an Access-Accept. However when I
pass the same credentials over CHAP, MSCHAP or EAP_MSCHAP the same is not
working and I end up in a Access-Reject. Seems like that the ntlm_auth
program is not parsing the received encrypted password hence the
authetication fails. MSCHAP is a requirement as wifi clients at my place
mostly have eap supplicant. (Read in freeradius documentation that eap and
ldap doesnt go hand in hand, I may be wrong at interpreting the same)
The freeradius logs for all the cases is listed below. Radius gurus please
point me to the right direction as to make MS_CHAP authentication owrk over
ntlm_auth or ldap(if possible).
PS: I did all the testing using JRadius simulator.

Re: [ilugd] Virtual users mapped to system users
Hi Raj,
why do you want to use /etc/password. use some enterprise directory to
authenticate against.
For an enterprise if it is large (or grows to lare enterprise ) having
/etc/password replicated everywhere and in sync would be calling for trouble.
use PAM + Openldap for directory and any authentication server(preferably
kerberos or SAML based ) to authenticate. this would also help in lot of
povisoning scenarions.

You can replace the SQL statements with grep/awk on /etc/passwd
These and other similar lines will need to be replaced =
SQL=($(dosql SELECT uid,pw,mpath,mquota FROM passwd WHERE
uid='$ID'))
SQL=($(dosql SELECT uid,pw,mpath,mquota FROM passwd WHERE uid='$ID'
AND pw='$PW'))
To test if the passwd is correct (auth is OK), you can use the
openssl command to generate an md5 hash and match with /etc/shadow
(here i am assuming you script will run as root and can read
/etc/shadow). There might be other ways to do this, but this one
struck me easily.
Yeah, I was also looking around for a command-line tool that will allow
me to test authentication against PAM. Neither of the two tools I could
find on the 'net (pamck and pamauth) seem to be easily available,
keeping on looking.
As a last resort one could use direct auth against {passwd,shadow}, but
that would be absolutely the last resort. I'd rather make a Perl PAM
script that does that before going into grep co!

Re: [ilugd] KGPU
hi all, there are few unanswered question/clarification . As i undertand 1. GPU is not an alternate to CPU(i dont know someone got confused there) . 2. GPU is a additional unit like math coprocessor so it can not be considered to be part of core OS as kernel already is bloated with so many additional things to do then it's core funcinality. if we add load balancing and manging of threads also it is going to be an overkill. Ideally kernel should be doing only scheduling(remember famous argument between linus and tanenbaum long time back ) 3. in linux threads are inherently processes so in sense we are working with multiple processes. 4. GPU does not distribute the logic . to solve the problem using GPU it need to be broken down into parallel threads of execution . there fore if the applications are not written with GPU in foresight it would not be able to gain the speed up factor on the contrary we might loose more execution cycles due to overhead. 5. not only govt of india many enterprises aslo need it. for example i remember param was used for weather forecasting,other uses can be datamining etc 6. supercomputer and clusters these are now used interchangeably design wise they are different like cray series super comps etc. though if you want to keep teraflops as the count cluster may give an impression of better performance but inherntly it would require the problem to be broken down and parallelised before computing. I did a cluster for CDAC Noida for there teaching needs in 2003 based on OSCAR http://svn.oscar.openclustergroup.org/trac/oscar also showcased the improved results using linpack. it was made of old pentium boxes and used to do PXE boot. though it was not a supercomp. these clusters are considered as supercomps and many enterprises do it that is the reason you would see so many people doing supercomps. 7. Now in the era of multicore and co processors like GPU the scaling can be better but first we have to break down the problem to identify bittlenecks and parallel threads of execution.It needs lot of testing and benchmarking to see the result. 8. there are so many things in the kernel like NUMA etc which help better performance then an additional processing unit 9. i would like to know how and where GPU is used in software routers as mentioned in the write up this would be interesting as software routers now days use vitualised enviornment to see better performance .Using GPU will it be better then virtual enviornment. 10. also in packet processing we do lot of parallel processing and in Network processors we handle lots of things mentioned in the hardware itself how is GPU better then those there are lot of things i can go on and on but i think i would stop now :) Regards, Abhishek Kumar Date: Sun, 8 May 2011 23:56:30 +0530 From: bhushan...@gmail.com To: lists.ni...@gmail.com CC: ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org; linux-discuss...@ilug-cal.info Subject: Re: [ilugd] KGPU I have done GPU Programming, when i was at CDAC. the performance of ISRO GPU based Super Computer is only theoretical.

He said to me what GPUs do, they create a number of internal parallel threads to solve the calculation and give the response immediately. But still their performance is hampered by speed of internetwork, the CPUs dividing the job and the type of job to be divided. The real test of the performance of a Super Computer can done by following the LINPACK benchmark test. Lets see how much performance this super computer gives on this benchmark. Dammn the fastest of India is at 47th rank.(God it was on 11th rank when i saw it last time). what is happening to this world, everybody are making supercomputers.

At least this got me started. I shall try and respond to some of the individual suggestions without cluttering everyone's email boxes. A general concern: Increasingly, people like me who use computers as glorified typewriters and now search engines and replacements for the postal service - are going to convert to Linux and open source programmes. True, we could all get books and read them but then that is time consuming (and in my case just not possible - since I will have to wait till I next go to Delhi or Dehradun). When one searches the internet for information, there are solutions to probably all the minor problems I have encountered. For a novice, the 'language' itself becomes a barrier. Most people who are posting notes have been there and done that. They know the Linux language. In a few months, hopefully, I will too but the in the transition, there is a need to talk and interact with people who actually use this and mere access to the internet does not help. I am sure there must be many like me would have similar problems and are stuck and just don't to want to yell for help in a public space.

THis is also the biggest market for computers in india. if ilug-d has to hike it once a month across the span of the NCR, no big deal. :-) LL ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd _ Contact brides grooms FREE! http://www.shaadi.com/ptnr.php?ptnr=hmltag Only on www.shaadi.com.

Re: [ilugd] Re: Linux Delhi January 2004 Meet
I appreciate your gesture of taking the onus of organizing a linux delhi meet at your place . but i believe you would agree meeting place should be easily accessible . and Faridabad sounds way too far of . regarding a different group it is upto you . but my suggestion is it is better to contribute to an existing initiative then spawning of a new group. and as every body knows unity is strength . the different groups that we have all over india is actually a part of a single initiative i.e to bring Linux and other Open source to the main stream . spawning of a new group just because you did not like a comment would be uneccessay excercise in the wrong direction.also i assure you that if you start of a group to achieve something fruitfull which is not available under Linux Delhi i would certainly join you . as i have joined the other groups . Linux Delhi is special in this regards because i get to see and talk to all the people on the list in person . and the monthly meeting is the only time in a month that all of us meet .

Re: [ilugd] linux delhi meet: 18 Jan2k4
That would be good to have a programmers meet where in the sessions could be divided as follow 1 an Intro to GUI(Application) programming on Linux - perl -python - java - GTK+/QT -ruby -TCL/TK and the list goes on and on . 2 an intro to system programing in Linux - embedded Linux - Network programming - shell scripting - mastering C/C++ fundas etc... but this would in turn make it more of training institute so only pointers should be discussed untill somebody has a personal experience that he would like others to know looking forward to a programmers meet this time cheers Abhishek Kumar Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 1:24 PM Subject: Re: [ilugd] linux delhi meet: 18 Jan2k4 Nikhil Bhargava wrote: hi sandip, I just suggested one theme.

Re: [ilugd] Help on LiFY CD!
Hi Anuj This month we have included Bhavya OS instead of LiFY on popular demand of readers to get taste of other Linux Distro . We have got some reports of the CD not working properly on few PC's . On further inspection we got the followig reponse from Bhavya Soft please send the problems faced by you directly to them We have identified that the /preinit occurs only with LG CD-Rom Drives, LG-CDRoms do not seem to support mount() system call( used by slash shell to mount the BhavyaOS CD), as it is with the RedHat Kernel, This has been tested and failed with the RedHat nash shell also, we are thus shortly making available a new binitrd.gz and binstall.gz on our site which have a seperate static mount utility to acheive this, with regards to troubles starting X-Server in some win 98 installations, this is due to the preloading of heavy windows drivers as windows starts, we recommending using Safe mode DOS prompt and run bhavya.bat( bhavya.bat be edited to remove vga=0x315 and hda=scsi) .

Re: [ilugd] About RedHat Linux and Novell
no doubt fedora and SuSE acquisition would definately help Linux in enterprise, but this is a move which would change the stand and vision of Red Hat purely for the narrow commercial gains(RMS) . this is a vast departure from the values on which the company started off and gained support from the community . as far as Novell is concerned i can just say back with the vengance :) Regards Abhishek From: Varun Varma [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ilugd] About RedHat Linux and Novell Date: Fri, 07 Nov 2003 09:32:08 +0530 There have been a lot of rumours lately about how free Linux is coming to an end. My 2 cents worth... RedHat discontinuing RHL: I think that RedHat, knowingly or not, handled their PR very badly with this one. With Fedora, RedHat had now moved to community driven development model one of the greatest successes of the open source movement. They have contributed a commercial product base [aka RHL] to the project, apart from providing technical and manpower resources. Hopefully, this would achieve what Debian couldn't [last update to the stable release on 16th December, 2002]. RedHat should be thanked for this, not condemned. There is going to be pressure on RedHat to make Fedora work. They can't have a highly visible project like this go bad it would reflect poorly on Linux itself and thus their own enterprise product base would be in jeopardy. They have built their entire credibility on the RHL product line - imagine what would happen to that if Fedora bums out. Remember, while RHL has been discontinued, the customers haven't been left in a lurch...Fedora offers an upgrade path to RHL. RedHat CEO saying You should buy Windows: I couldn't agree more. I am not going to recommend running Linux to my aunt...imagine the hoops uncle would have to go through to get a video player to work when he want's to see porn. Matthew Szulik's comments have to be taken in perspective. He is not saying that Linux is not meant for desktops - in fact he says that it is an excellent option for enterprise desktops. And people with a appetite for technology can use Linux very effectivelt as a desktop. But, is not for the average home user - not yet. Novell's acquisition of Suse: This, if anything, confirms the viability of Linux in the enterprise. Novell would be able to help Linux penetrate into a wider market. Linux penetration would continue to increase as it was, and Novell would simply add it's roster of enterprise customers to this base, making even more people look at Linux. Because of the various other networking/office/collaboration software that Novell makes, they might be able to offer a comprehensive Linux based alternative to the Microsoft platform. For very long, one of very thin criticisms for Linux has been it has no support the only support you can is from college kids on mailing lists. Novell is now committing it's support infrastructure to Linux. Also, this would make Novell compete with RedHat in the Enterprise Linux space. And we all know that healthy competition makes everyone better. Regards, Varun Varma --- Mindframe Software Services Pvt.
