If you're planning to block, then maybe temporarily block or tarpit the IP address in firewall. Usually, MTAs won't do this kind of thing, only abusers. Or you can also use greylisting daemon, esp. spamd[1] (only works on *BSD) or postgrey/policyd (or other greylisting software) for postfix.

You need to setup data replication from master database server to slave servers. And, then in your application logic you've to send database reads (SELECTs) to slaves and writes (UPDATE, INSERT, etc.) to master. In case your master goes down, you need to promote some slave as new master, and update your application configuration, database slaves configuration to reflect the change.

I guess by "secure authentication" you probably mean forcing use of TLS, and requiring SMTP authentication (something like permit_sasl_authentication after/without-preceding permit_mynetworks), then probably yes.

You probably have to clear your "Sent" folder OR check if you're out of disk space/inodes assuming that thunderbird is talking about local "Sent" folder on disk. If there is free disk space/inodes (where your thunderbird profile is located), then you need to bump your disk quota, you'll be needing admininstrator access for this.

I used to experience these issues (has nothing to do with RTC) some years ago, mostly due to crappy SMPS, bad power/data cable which got fixed after I replaced its SMPS.

For extended troubleshooting, you can get a POST card[1] (or Debug card), a PCI card which displays progress made by BIOS by emitting various codes as it progresses to the I/O port which POST cards hooks itself to, and used to sell for INR 100-150 few years ago.

I assume you want to install in /usr (as you define it in "Prefix" above) but default ./configure (i.e. without explicit --prefix argument) configures it for installation in /usr/local.

AFAIK, you can't. Usually the way people deal with this, is to setup everything (= data, usually) on /mnt or mount additional volume elsewhere. OR may be if you can mount both volumes on another machine, then you can put setup PV on both volumes, and create a VG from both PVs, and then a LV of maximum size in that VG. And after installing everything on LV, with help of LVM enabled initrd, you can boot from it as well.

[ilugd] [FSF] Stand up for your freedom to install free software
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 - --8<---cut here---start->8--- From: "Free Software Foundation" Subject: [FSF] Stand up for your freedom to install free software Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:31:56 -0400 (2 hours, 15 minutes, 29 seconds ago) Dear Supporters, * Please join us in signing the statement: *Stand up for your freedom to install free software* <http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/statement> The free software movement has come a long way over the past 25+ years. While we still face many challenges ahead for us to create a world in which it is normal and expected for computer users to have freedom, we have made steady progress. Right now, however, there is a potential threat that could put us back years. Microsoft has announced that if computer makers wish to distribute machines with the Windows 8 compatibility logo, they will have to implement a measure called "Secure Boot." When done correctly, "Secure Boot" is designed to protect against malware by preventing computers from loading unauthorized binary programs when booting. In practice, this means that computers implementing it won't boot unauthorized or modified operating systems. This could be a feature deserving of the name, as long as the *user* is able to authorize the programs she wants to use, so she can run free software written and modified by herself or people she trusts. However, we are concerned that Microsoft and hardware manufacturers will implement these boot restrictions in a way that will prevent users from booting anything other than unmodified Windows. In this case, a better name for the technology would be Restricted Boot, since such a requirement would be a severe restriction on computer users and not a security feature at all. We're looking at a world in which it could become impossible for the average user to install GNU/Linux on any new computer, so too much is at stake for us to wait and see if computer manufacturers will do the right thing. "Secure Boot" could all too easily become a euphemism for restriction and control by computer makers and Microsoft -- freedom and security necessitate users being in charge of their own computers. So please, join us in signing this statement against Restricted Boot, and consider encouraging your friends, family, and colleagues to do the same. If you are part of an organization or company that would like to prominently show their support, please contact us at . For your convenience, here is a list of additional articles and resources related to this statement: * Public statement: <http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/statement> * Press release: <http://www.fsf.org/news/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot-in-windows-8> * Detailed explanation of the issue: <http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot> Sincerely, John Sullivan Executive Director Free Software Foundation - --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Thanks - -- Ashish SHUKLA “I never commit to memory anything that can easily be looked up in a book.” ("Albert Einstein", "Sidelights on Relativity", 1983) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJOnNt2AAoJEMdGz6nnT6SwKVEP/A81anCTH+JEV1rfQAdW3ZP+ 8VVHzLNxxZuYjZO2eeAWaAEcZaBI1KKYWsVB0Kw+OJyx3SP8rTOmaPWjHK8J6nQE DCLpB7ckB36ag8/FP9Yxl5+fuCCFuITO9Go2Y44srnykzMX4bkJYDlzFBWCLX2DJ ZIckpm11VaFrx06Z8/DzCkK6QBWyQ/Jl0oxetvsbDpdtZ4PetszTy63KoENDK9Nk OZbirwicPlP/x1Ar7ibmjgvC1OfhaICjAtIAd+Wk4Wd/6VDqkARhWqHXsK16Rgjb IcOmG24S5VAmT9mG7PHkFO0HRNlVJkIvPMCs0YsWcJuq5I1BDFya3PQEsiG+EtQe QjDPmg5jidLFjMBj99zlxGweWG0nmhpN7QwKhzPCiXCd8fCm7vIux1OniN/StYXg 9jd5LXFDv9kptkhLiiwpcrkBiUx5Ko45MboDh8SMTeRiIfjCNfRsjTL46L2obRY5 5XxKWZRHGDaII15FFiTSjLIktg8wwaR63PxSj3JRKORsYE0QVLHFcZpb6q+otSzb WfuQ955RVXYRflXvZLtncUmXCd1EmngZZiqkErzXstWpMNsS21amzDuLnpdp9PED PRN0+tA1WzjthF+GBTAs4LRVem3KVo3UrG7EJpVwLvbm6r2HP8evfZzLAToy2dY4 RjFr8w5dZ54nhrarnRMQ =7AMM -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

[ilugd] Dovecot2 mdbox issues, and mailbox synchronization between hosts
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hi, Has anyone tried copying Dovecot's mdbox mailboxen (in Dovecot2) from one host to another which might/might not run same minor version of Dovecot, or a different operating system platform together? Is that even recommended? I'm asking because I copied my mailboxen from one host (GNU/Linux) to another host (FreeBSD) and all email folders seems to be messed up, as in some older emails are showing in all email folders. Since I migrated to Dovecot2 from Archiveopteryx in a bit ugly fashion, and I didn't notice this problem then, I'm not sure whom (in addition to myself) to blame for this. But has anyone experienced any similar problem? Also, what's the recommended way to synchronize mdbox mailboxen between hosts? My desktop which I regularly use runs FreeBSD and Dovecot 2.0.14, and my notebook which I only use when I'm traveling, runs Arch GNU/Linux and Dovecot 2.0.15.

Sorry I forgot to mention that parameter is specific to ATI/Intel hardware. There is a page[1] on Debian Wiki related to this. Although Debian keeps that disabled but since you're running Vanilla, it's probably enabled. Also just curious why are you running custom kernel? And if you've to run it on Debian hardware, may be compile it with minimum options i.e. based on the 2.6.18 .config you're running. You will encounter that couple of options aren't present in 3.0, but you've something good to base upon. And since, you're running Debian, build/install your kernel the Debian way[3], which will also build an initrd for you as well. I'm not sure but I think you'll probably need one to boot Debian's init. IMHO, being able to package custom kernel using built-in tools is one of the cool things about Debian.

No, kernel-mode-setting here refers to enabling graphics mode from kernel[1]. The problem here _seems_ to be that kernel you're trying to run supports kernel-mode-setting, and has probably that enabled by default, but userland (Debian Etch) isn't expecting kernel-mode-setting, as kernel-mode-setting functionality only got introduced after Debian Lenny, i.e. 2.6.28 and later. So, try booting with "nomodeset" kernel command-line option, not sure if that will work.

You probably mean to run "screen" in "ssh", i.e. screen on remote end?

Thanks to paravirt_ops[1] kernel support which was present in Linux kernel since 2.6.23, you can use same kernel to boot as dom0, domU, or without Xen.

You can run Xen on your X11 GUI enabled GNU/Linux box which you use daily for watching pr0n, hanging out on social networks, writing code, etc., and run VMs, and get better performance with VMs (paravirtualized).

Best way to find this is to tcpdump. Also did you recently changed anything on server, like upgraded git, tried to secure it with some ACLs around some PAM module ? Also can you scp the working directory to the host, and then try pushing from there to confirm that git-push works?

Also adding "UseDNS no" avoids the extra delay one has to go through during SSH login when SSH tries to perform reverse lookup for your IP address, and weird thoughts which comes with SSH connection taking time to login...

I've MTNL 3G, I use it with datacard provided by them. The datacard driver works fine in GNU/Linux, and FreeBSD. The only problem I face is 3G latency (+ ~30ms), and highly unreliable MTNL routing which most of the times takes you to .de/.us in ~150/250ms, but sometimes takes +150ms. The speed (200-230 KiB/s to mirrors.cse.iitk.ac.in) is good, and with unlimited plan, you can download great amount of pr0n (but if you're on high latency place, you'll end up shooting yourself in foot with 100s of connections in SYN_SENT).

I'd a similar experience Some years ago when I use to work on Gentoo Hardened, hoping to port (or better package) couple of SELinux goodies shipped with Fedora (e.g. setroubleshoot) to Gentoo environment, I was never able to get source tarballs of the latest RPMs. The tarball versions which were available on the project site (somewhere on fedorahosted.org) were quite old compared to what Fedora was shipping.

Just to verify this conclusion, replace ntfs-3g with ntfs (the read-only and limited write capabable driver present in kernel), and mount options to "defaults,ro". If this evaluates to true, I recommend restoring "ntfs-3g" line, and adding "noauto" to mount opts, so it only get mounted by mount/HAL/DeviceKit (whichever in use), when you explicitly try to mount it, or try to browse the filesystem of the disk in explorer, or remove it from fstab(5) completely and add it to autofs[1] (not sure if this is going to work at all).

Trying with latest ALSA sources 1.0.23 instead of 1.0.21 ? 2.

Yes, but that's not good in long run, esp. when people figure out your strategy. ;) Everyone needs support. Unless your willing to maintain software stack on your own, you'll need some one to maintain it, that's what support means. Be it in terms of porting your customizations to new versions, tuning it for performance, developing addons etc. > Like say, releasing some so-called buggy or complicated thing for free. > And to make it work properly, you need to purchase one's service to > make the tweaks or lot more configurations which client can't do on > his own. > If so, I don't think, this is creating a good market reputation on it's own.

Is anyone using torrents with airtel in Delhi? I use torrents from my Airtel connection extensively, and have no problems with that. I started off with bittorrent's official client, and then ktorrent, vuze, transmission and finally ended up using rtorrent in a screen. ktorrent, Vuze, etc. ship with UPnP support in form of plugins which you've to activate from there menus, and work great. Slow torrent downloads could be due to several reasons, from low no. of seeders, to a large ratio of seeders and leechers, to the firewalls, to the lack of encryption support in your client. These days large number of users prefer to accept only encrypted connections, so that could also be one of the reasons. Use a software which also supports various other mechanisms of sharing peers like PEX, DHT, etc. as well. To die chosing them, that's for the freedom :) - -- Ashish SHUKLA | GPG: F682 CDCC 39DC 0FEA E116 20B6 C746 CFA9 E74F A4B0 freebsd.org!ashish | http://people.freebsd.org/~ashish/ Avoid Success At All Costs !! -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (FreeBSD) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJMpeyvAAoJEMdGz6nnT6Sww1YQAJOXMSEEVbJpUdRj14jPTxyW XqoVvfr3Yj8C/UO41JAqhvsc6jbLv330FVNcTWGIwyYh/6ZZv5kKgpLFlAZb8mWV SQ/mM5JRV12pkP4xNKEbKbUuFTqDZ7xCuIkSfSvF6/BxIxtF3Rp7qs/gQ6vHPQBn l0uTnkSDo3WGsEDI8MoyThN7ffDaPsTl/PxmZZaziqpm/7sRD3a6GTOsYuV8t4fi mcFb4TZErxhr9t6mxuB2scnApOsSnirYxsal/RCCHeBKWfxNX53+MDaoEDPfNQKR eBs3H62Z1bE6MuUPE87VkJqIC9Ho4YXBU9w1QUQ9VVNLG7ixiw8MsTbFKW0ECYkU 1J8gSnDi4A2ggwI2XvOhwZtdaSvYA/cgxLeK10svhihukISwd6E5fkIfw0Nu1+Mc r1WQns0etO5YH0wkEX3vYIAG8iUJRq+bzAfDhqvBNe5XGICpVPtdR7R/jTAyWriI /ChxfJj5kEYXeQ7Cvfv7ZIHVgC4IwYpD/derNJS4Z5Sv2su0UMk1XKXS0SK0FZKX Q5/C+sk15TFl/LZ0HvnUsr3XSTO3IhLr8rLxL65M2vzCGHL6q0so6W/XHRIiJfr4 ZpgWTSrnj4myYHKuQzV08Iz1aKKKBa37qkxsokiNZBCUPcPlct5OWYiHWqT6fmwT 3KMsaHLQIY7+6A6vgq6f =g6uV -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Thanks You probably have to manually forward the ports (inbound port, DHT port) in your ADSL router, if you're using it in PPPoE mode (the default mode) configured by them. It also depends on the torrent client you're using, the clients with UPnP support (e.g. KTorrent, Vuze (IIRC)) automatically forward ports for you.

[ilugd] [OT] Free IPv6 Certification and Free T-Shirt!!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA512 Hi everyone, Happy SysAdmins Day :). The *Free* mentioned in the subject is free as in free bear (which you see in free TV channels). Anyone who wants to try out his IPv6 skills and can try the free online certification[1], which includes quiz and some practical tests, provided by Hurricane Electric. You'll need: * Connectivity to IPv6 internet, native or via tunnel[2][3]. AFAICS, the only tunnelbroker in APNIC region catering to .IN is HE at Hong Kong. * Knowledge of IPv6 protocol. * A domain name (for which you're able to set WHOIS information) to point to IPv6 nameservers for creating IPv6 glue records. * A box which is capable of running web-server/mail-server on IPv6 sockets. The certification process is divided in various levels. And after reaching 'Sage' level and confirming your snail mail address, you can get a T-Shirt[4]. The T-Shirt can be seen at following URL: http://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/index.php?topic=1069.msg5695 Lets hope Indian ISPs also come with such public trials to ease the transition. If you need help, you can post here (unless prohibited by list admins), to me, or better /join IRC channel #ipv6 on Freenode or EFnet.

[ilugd] Wikileaks To Leak 5000 Open Source Java Projects With All That Private/Final Bullshit Removed
third-party Java library vendors can refactor their code to make certain classes more reusable. Blackburn declined to describe these refactorings, claiming it was "none of y'all's business." Guy Faulkner, a 51-year-old Python developer in Seattle, was amused by the Wikileaks announcement. "When Python developers release Open Source code, they are saying: Here, I worked hard on this. I hope you like it. Use it however you think best. Some stuff is documented as being subject to change in the future, but we're all adults here so use your best judgment." Faulkner shook his head sadly. "Whereas Java developers who release Open Source are code are saying: Here, I worked hard on this. I hope you like it. But use it exactly how I tell you to use it, because fuck you, it's my code. I'll decide who's the goddamn grown-up around here." "But why didn't they write that Perl script in Python?" Faulkner asked.

I used 'apt-cacher' and 'pkg-cacher' both of which act only when they receive an HTTP request from one of the clients. They're usually installed as a CGI binary, or as a standalone web-server. And when they receive a HTTP request for a file, they perform a cache look-up, and if the file is in cache, they serve it from cache, otherwise they initiate downloading from the source. The first time one of your client updates itself, a 'cache miss' will happen and the packages will be downloaded. And for subsequent updates, the packages are served from the cache.

The reason I suggested is because entering a username/password in a dialog box looks straightforward to me, and SFTP url will be the same. You can configure OpenSSH in chroot mode[1] preventing users from exploring the server file-system. And also if '/$un/' share requires authentication, you're entering same username twice, one at your script and other in the user/password dialog box which nautilus pops up. SFTP offers secure access and is well integrated with Nautilus and GNOME VFS.

I also used apt-cacher in past and it worked but recent versions had some issues, so I kept the old version pinned on my Debian box. I also tried pkg-cacher[1] because I needed to cache for 'yum' (fedora/centos) also and it worked great since it can cache both 'yum' and 'apt'.

I think we need zero restriction on freedom of speech and more respect for preamble of the constitution, both of which require tolerance from the people, and other things will follow.

(just like facebook is a platform developed by techies for > common people to share ideas) FYI, Facebook is not a platform developed by techies for common people to share ideas, it is just another man's dream of becoming a Big Brother, by employing techies, like Google. And the worst part, Governments uses that to communicate with people for which they're not even sure is happening behind the scenes. We need more public domain work by Govt., and no copyright by Govt. We need institutions like C-DAC to be shut down for acting as a Govt. funded for-profit organization. We need sources for all of the work (including websites operated by govt.) in standard format (read as: !OOXML or encumbered by patents) in a freely downloadable fashion, and zero security by obscurity. And for that we don't need another constitution, just n amendments will do, but there are very less chances for that happening now unless everyone goes in M-x paranoid-mode. What I can see from your essay is that you're trying to make a career in creative writing and wanted to make your résumé look better: * Lead team of n people and drafted a constitution, under CC-by-SA, not *public domain*, available from Lulu.com :) I wish I could write something like that on my blog :( . > Today I slashed out my ideas because good intentions die unless utilized. > And I did it so that all the fellow Open Source Zealots can critically > analyze it, hence more ideas and criticism are welcomed to improve it.

Install OpenJDK, IcedTea or Sun JDK, whatever your GNU/Linux distribution provides through its package repository. Download JDK from Sun iff your distribution doesn't provide packages. 2. Install a servlet container (e.g. Apache Tomcat[1]), by downloading and extracting the tarball in your $HOME. This is preferred, even when distribution provides a package for the same in their repository, as most of the distributions tend to split the package according to their file system hierarchy conventions, which conflicts with the paths you encounter in the documentation, which you might find difficult. Other than this there is no harm in distribution packages, on the contrary for production use, always go with distribution's packages whenever available, OR package it yourself, if packages aren't available. 3. The rest of the steps (like starting/stopping) should be same as Windows. The configuration should also be the same with just the difference in path conventions.
