[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 But here (LA07) what we sought was 'engagement' and on a
 platform where Linux/OSS was on a strong footing.
   
Rahul at the risk of repeating myself, I appreciate the work being put 
in by the team for LA. While, I didn't attend the event, would you say 
that OSS was on a strong footing at all? Or was MS on a strong footing 
by giving lip service to OSS while pushing their own products? With OSS 
local community participation down to a trickle?
 Plus, if you see the point of the 'customers' a wholistic event builds
 more trust than a one sided affair.
   
This bit I completely disagree with, what wholistic events are we 
talking about here? Have you heard of a single MS event where OSS 
biggies have been invited to present their case? How does one build 
trust with a  customer, when someone is standing on the stage in an 
event like LA and proclaiming TCO advantages for the products of a 
sponsor of the event (which coincidently is selling products in a manner 
not in line with OSS philosophy).

The way I see it there are 3 stands here:
1. The event organizers really believes in the stand they took and are 
ready to defend it
2. The event organizers is justifying it's stand by sugar coating the 
basic facts (a CYA tactic)
3. The event organizers had a noble intention however that did not work 
out as planned and a lesson has been learnt

I believe, through this thread, we are only trying to understand which 
of the 3 above (or maybe a 4th option) is the truth here. Either way, 
LFY's contribution to OSS is not being questioned and is appreciated.

Primarily looking for a backup solution, preferably pull based rather 
than push based. BackupPC has very limited documentation and hence you 
can hit into a wall pretty quickly while troubleshooting unless you wish 
to go down the hit-n-try route. Amanda on the other hand is pretty well 
documented but doesn't have a management interface, I am looking into 
webmin beta interface for amanda currently though.

I'll leave the moderation to the list admin's. Let's handle the 
sensitivity separately and get back to the topic.

I've used both nmap and nessus as an audit tool and you might want to 
look into some of the nessus reports generated to match it with your 
audit requirements. nmap is fantastic for OS fingerprinting however I 
believe nessus uses nmap too as part of its tests to determine a number 
of parameters. Hence, nessus might just cover the entire gambit of 
things u're looking for here.

Re: [ilugd] Disabling Access to Windows OS computer on Ubuntu (linux) Network

2006-03-20 Thread Akshay Lamba
We have one machine that is a Win 98 (or any other win system - it is 
connected to the network. I wanted to know if there was a way of 
disabling network access to this machine. ??? or simply preventing 
access to some served services !! (right term) like internet.

Probably multiple way's of doing this, here's some off the cuff:
1. Provide it with an IP tied up with it's MAC (or a static IP) and then
create a iptables (firewall) rule to drop all packets from that IP.
2. Use squid and squidguard to allow/disallow internet access.

I'm running ubuntu on my HP centrino laptop. No problems with WLAN.

 between Celeron-M and Centrino based laptops. Is the gain in performance
 worth the cost?

Not sure but I think there is a significant performance gain incase
you're doing things like video editing, etc. Incase of normal use,
that's 10k down the drain.

 I've read quite a few opinions online but most of them do not mention the
 specific models available in India, or do not address the Linux
 compatibility issue at all.

I would recommend that you run a live CD on the model before purchasing
just to make sure there isn't any glaring incompatibilities.

Yep last I checked those were the 3 supported. But I know they were

 Also pl. give me details from where i can get it.
 Friends i will be really happy if one can give me that CDs now before the

Well your friend is correct, it is indeed debian based. If you're
looking at setting up a system to try out things before you do it on
your server you should definitely go with centos or any other redhat
based system.

However, if u're looking at experimenting and expanding your horizons
give a debian based distro a chance. For years I've been a redhat
variant only guy, but took the plunge with ubuntu on desktop and debian
on server and haven't looked back since. 

As far as the CD is concerned, I have the 32 bit but not the 64 bit. I
believe Sudhev Sir might have one.

 How do the two compare.
 
 would appreciate your various opinions.

Here's what I know about blackberry  linux:

1. There are 2 components to the blackberry solution - the server (that
polls your mail server for new mail) and the handset.
2. The handset is on closed source proprietery OS. I don't know of any
plans to move to linux.
3. The blackberry server is hosted on a windows server machine
4. I know currently the blackberry server can integrate with outlook and
lotus notes email servers to poll and transmit email to your handset
(also reverse traffic for sync)
5. I believe there is a roadmap in place for integration with open
source mail servers too like postfix/sendmail though I don't think it is
currently supported.

Now, comparison between Trio and BB:
1. Try google.com
2. The basic solution features of BB are push mail and security, since
they are pushing this mail post encryption.
3. You can compare this with the basic solution features for Trio and
see how it goes, from what I remember, Trio is just a simple
SMTP/POP2/IMAP pull based solution.

 My apologies I could'nt make it to the flashmob meeting on Sunday. Have
been trying to get some corporate backup/connections to have more
resources and the necessary media splash to accompany it so was working
on my boss to get that done !!
 
Raju please contact me off the thread so that we can further crystallize
this. I'm available at alambaatbharti.com
 
Regards,
Akshay Lamba

Alternatively we can meet up at my place in gurgaon. Pretty close to

2004-04-04 Thread Akshay Lamba
thanks gaurav jain. er... could your infrastructure handle about 100
computers and its cooling? network, backup, etc? do you have existing
computers (with cdroms) that could also be plugged into this?

_

Bandwidth available at my end too. Maybe we could rope in a couple of
companies...we could probably get comps for a weekend. I'll download the
flashmob iso tomorrow. CD burning should'nt be much of an issue
either...cost of CD's can be distributed among the volunteers.

Really looking forward to this.

Rgrds,
Akshay

PS: My apologies I could'nt make to the meet for march. I was supposed
to give a presentation on security tools in linux...had the presentation
ready but got caught up in a last minute family emergency.

dear all,

this is an inspiration for a great idea. iluggers could get together,

create a 'flashmob' supercomputer. i could invite the press and write a
press release on this. someone could talk to tv channels to cover this.

Linux creates first ad-hoc, temporary supercomputer
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/04/02/184238

 Linux will be used to create a giant, temporary supercomputer from
normal PCs brought by volunteers to an event tomorrow in San
Francisco
billed as the first of its kind. FlashMob will showcase technology
enabling ordinary people with standard PCs to create a supercomputer
in
a matter of hours. The FlashMob event is sponsored by Foundry
Networks,
Myricom, and HP. 

***

HP-lurkers on the list could help and sponsor, too.

RE: [ilugd] ilug-d's first ad-hoc, on-the-fly supercomputer

2004-04-03 Thread Akshay Lamba
you could read thru the article at the url above. i don't have *any*
supercomputer cluster howto skills, yet. abhishek on this list had some
ideas, but he's migrated to hyderabad. am sure there are others on this
list who could show us how to do this. i know that there's a cd of
knoppix, called 'clusterknoppix' that does an amazing thing. pop copies
of the cd into each pc connected on a network and boot them to create
your on-the-boot cluster supercomputer. ymmw.

sandip, do you think you could help on this? supreet has experimented a
bit with clusters i recall. who all would like to research and volunteer
to set this up, please? i think this is a fantastic idea.

a volunteer, weekend, instant supercomputer.
a maggie, two-minute google.
a supercomputer for the heck of it.




LL have a look at this. http://www.flashmobcomputing.org/

Couple of points I gather from the article:

1. They're going to release an iso after the even. We can use the same
iso for ilug event.
2. The purpose on the event is to solve or attempt to solve one problem
 we need to decide on that.
3. To really run the benchmarking tests after the pc's are in place we
too need a gigabit network in place...either we choose to go with a
10/100 LAN or we need to find a place that has a g-bit switch and
cabling !!

Regrds,
Akshay

Request some help here..just a thought process I'm looking into:
 
1. When attacked system let's u know : snort, tripwire
2. When attacked system let's u know and block's offending traffic
automatically : Is there a way to configuresnort/tripwire with IP
Tables to do this??
3. When attacked system let's u know, block's offending traffic and
launches counter attack automatically: Any way of doing this? PHLAK has
a number of security tools but does it let us do this?

 Depending on when this is, and what other people are
 speaking about, I
 could conceivably talk about iptables/netfilter.
 That brings the count to two. Viksit and ams. 

Depending on when and where count me in too. I can cover usage of
security tools in linux - nessus, ntop, nmap, distro called phlak.

Hi,

One day (well, 1/2 day) has passed since my morning e-mail, and wanted
to update you on the status of the preparations for LA2004:

- - Sudev has offered a fully-functional LTSP demo.  We're moving!

- - Ghane (known to the police as Sanjeev Gupta), who'll be speaking at
the event, has promised us 5 PCs complete with monitors, keyboards,
mice and network cards.  Way to go!  You did mention that one of them
would have 1G memory, didn't you Ghane? ;-)

- - Ankur Rohatgi (an old-time Linux fan who, unfortunately for us, has
been away from the community for too long a time now) has promised 2
17 monitors.  Thanks!

- - Sandip Bhattacharya was the first volunteer to raise his hand -- and
we hadn't even started threatening him yet!  Thanks, Sandip, I will
sleep easier knowing that you're there.

- - Tarun Dua is back tomorrow (5th -- today?) evening and getting after
the t-shirt maker to deliver 200 t-shirts by day-after.

- - Tarun is also planning to spend a few sleepless nights making CDs
for sale.

What we're still missing:

Volunteers!  C'mon, Sandip can't do everything alone.  Please roll up
in your hordes and make this event one to remember!

Signage.  Beg, threaten or coerce your family/friends/anyone else good
with a brush in her/his hand to make posters.  The more the merrier,
and none get turned away.

Cash.  Let's take this step when we get a bit closer.  No tearing
hurry about it right now.

Demos.  If you can implement a demo and be there or train volunteers
in time to be able to showcase your idea, please contact the list
ASAP.  Heterogeneous networks?  Schools?  A funky server?  Bandwidth
management?  Something esoteric like networking using Ham radio, or
another place where Linux is not normally seen?  C'mon, let's have
your ideas!

All in all, we're moving well, let's keep up the momentum.

 That is a seriously wrong attitude to take. They are not forcing you
to
 buy their work,... rather by providing their evaluation versions they
 are actually helping you to make an informed decision.

 They are charging you for the benefits that they feel they bring you,
 and most of their customers are more than willing to pay the price.

  From the point of view of the customers business, the money that they
 charge is more than made up from the benfits of the software.

 I heard that the VMWare workstation costs about 20k .. how much does a
 separate machine cost you?

 argh!
 
 have successfully configured samba server such that in the network
 neighbourhood of a win98 pc, i can finally see the hostname of the 
 sambapc.
 
 double-click: and it says //[hostname] is not accessible. the 
 specifiedcomputer did not receive your request. try again later.
 
 [hostname] contains the netbios name as specified in smb.conf of the
 linux pc.
 
 1) username and passwd added to linux box.
 2) username and passwd passed on to smbpasswd
 3) encrypted password on in samba.
 4) win98 windows logon (right after boot) uses *same* username and
 passwd. for good measure, the 'identification' of the pc is also the
 same username.
 5) the work group is identical for both pcs.
 6) iptables ipchains, default firewalls (lokkit, network security, 
 etc)are all disabled.
 7) the linux samba server does show up in the network neighbourhood,
 which means they can see each other.
 8) once, using smbclient, did successfully log on to the win98 pc and
 mount its shared folders to the linux pc.
 9) googled extensively.
 10) the shares under samba are set up correctly. (i.e., there is a
 sub-directory all ready to be shared with the win box).
 
 what's going on?
