[ilugd] Problem with MSCHAP authentication in FreeRadius

[Dhiraj Gaur]

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] unable to install packages in ubuntu 11.04

[Dhiraj Gaur]

Please check if you have any proxy settings requirements as the same may be
applied just to the browser and not "system-wide". If that is the case then
export http_proxy=http://:port may help you.

Alternately if proxy settings is not an issue you may check the shell with
simple commands like ping www.yahoo.com and see if you are getting a reply
right. Most times DNS settings are an issue.

Hope it helps

Re: [ilugd] Job in Linux Administration

[Dhiraj Gaur]

In my opinion a majority of people who do RHCE is with the view that we will
do it and the job is ready for us because there is a "shortage" of skilled
linux guys. I would say that its not their fault its rather "marketed" that
way. Of Course the shortage is there but of those people who live beyond the
"click click next next" syndrome and can do their hands dirty with the
internal of the system(this includes scripting and programming, if
required). Major RHCE coaching institutes just focus on making people equip
with the bare minimum so that they clear the exam and get certified and
there is hardly any effort on the scripting aspect of system
administration.
I have been working on Linux for the past 7 years and never felt the need to
get certified and in fact most of the linux gurus whom i recall none of them
are certified too.

I guess if you can wait, wait for Netbooks which will soon start shipping
with NVIDIA Ion graphics processor. The ATOM  + Ion combo just rocks. Offers
HDMI and 1080p kind of resolution and affordably priced in $400 price  ~ 20k
- 25k.

Re: [ilugd] Zimbra OSS - GAL question

[Dhiraj Gaur]

Found this from ZIMBRA FAQs

Sharing other address information.  If you want to share address books with
other information, such as outside addresses, you may share any one of your
address books with delegated privileges to any other mailbox on the same
server (even across domain).

Modifiable company address books.  If you want to maintain one or more
company address books that are not shared from any single employee's
mailbox, best practices is to create a dummy mailbox, called something like
comp...@yourdomain.com, from which to share the address book.  Using this
method, you may delegate admin privileges to certain employees, who can keep
it up to date and also share the address book to new users.  You may decide
that other users may only have the ability to manage (add or delete
contacts) the address books(s), or even only view them.

link : http://faqs.01.com/zimbra/questions/84/Company+Address+Book+%28GAL%29

Hope you find it useful. Do keep us updated if you are able to achieve one.

[ilugd] Court bans Microsoft from selling Word in US

[Dhiraj Gaur]

A United States judge on Tuesday ordered Microsoft
 Corporation to
stop selling Microsoft Word in its current form in the US as it infringes
upon a patent owned by a Canadian company, i4i.

Judge Leonard Davis of the US District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas passed an injunction to this effect and has given Microsoft 2 months
within which the software giant must comply with the order.

A patent infringement lawsuit was filed by i4i in 2007 against Micrsoft. The
judge on Tuesday forbade Microsoft from selling Word products which let
people create custom XML documents. Microsoft has now been banned from
selling or importing into the US any Word products which can open .XML,
.DOCX, or DOCM files containing custom XML.

Microsoft Word allows users to create custom XML documents. i4i, based in
Toronto, Canada ,
owns US Patent No 5,787,449, which the court said Microsoft had infringed
upon.

The Texas judge also ordered Microsoft to pay the Toronto-based software
developer $200 million in damages as reasonable royalty. Apart from that,
Microsoft was also told to pay an additional $40 million for willful patent
infringement and another $37 million-plus in interest, taking the total
damages to over $287 million.

However, reports say that with Microsoft Corporation planning to appeal
against the order, its sales of Word are not likely to be affected. Experts
hint that even if the injunction stands, the software giant could find a
remove the XML functionality from Word or find some other way to bypass the
infringement.

*The court order:*

'Microsoft Corporation is hereby permanently enjoined from performing the
following actions with Microsoft Word 2003, Microsoft Word 2007, and
Microsoft Word products not more than colorably different from Microsoft
Word 2003 or Microsoft Word 2007 (collectively "Infringing and Future Word
Products") during the term of U.S. Patent No. 5,787,449:

1. selling, offering to sell, and/or importing in or into the United States
any Infringing and Future Word Products that have the capability of opening
a .XML, .DOCX, or .DOCM file ("an XML file") containing custom XML;

2. using any Infringing and Future Word Products to open an XML file
containing custom XML;

3. instructing or encouraging anyone to use any Infringing and Future Word
Products to open an XML file containing custom XML;

4. providing support or assistance to anyone that describes how to use any
infringing and Future Word Products to open an XML file containing custom
XML; and

5. testing, demonstrating, or marketing the ability of the Infringing and
Future Word Products to open an XML file containing custom XML.'

Re: [ilugd] Efiling IT returns on linux?

[Dhiraj Gaur]

HI
 I filled my ITR online yesterday. First of all the excel utility provided
by Income tax dept has a lot of macros which do not run on Open Office :(
After much struggling I had to resort back to M$ Excel.
Even in Excel macros security needs to be set to 'Low' and then the utility
works generating Excel.

One more piece of tip: before 1st July versions of Excel utility provided by
ITD filling of UTN field was mandatory. In case you did not fill UTN no then
XML will not be generated. So download an updated 1st July version of .xls
file. and use the same to generate the requisite XML without UTN no.

Dhiraj Gaur

Re: [ilugd] reg. KM s/w for novice

[Dhiraj Gaur]

Even Alfreco can be useful. USP of alfresco being that it can be linked to
the network drives via CIFS and you can do effective knowledge management at
the time of document creation.
Good thing is that community and enterprise support is available in India
which may be viable requirement for this huge setup.

[ilugd] Open Source Powers TATA Nano Website

[Dhiraj Gaur]

Dear Friends

Another great achievement of open source. I was going through the website of
tata nano at www.tatanano.com.
The website is developed in PHP and the good thing is the following
declearation on the website.

"The entire portal has been built on open source technologies, involving
minimum investment, following the essence of the Nano - *low cost, but high
technology.*"

Another achievement for Open Source in INDIA, Jai Ho!!

Re: [ilugd] PM Office switches to Open Source Mailing Solution

[Dhiraj Gaur]

RTI surley seems to be a good bet. Well in that case why just PMO, lets
shoot and RTI query to major government establishments in our respective
regions, this would surely be an eye opener to the LUGs accross the country.
This way we ll have a decent idea about the actual adoption of open source
by the goverment enterprises and it would be an eye opener for most of the
goverment office.

Any suggestions and feedback are welcome.

Re: [ilugd] PM Office switches to Open Source Mailing Solution

[Dhiraj Gaur]

Well I was equally intrigued when I read the news piece. Moreover the
article never talks of mail server and rather talks of the mail client. In
my views this is what might have happened

1. Virus problems might be common at PMO and they might have asked to switch
to a virus free mail solution, especially in view to save their face in the
RTI query.
2. The vendor/operator/administrator might have suggested switching to some
linux based solution.
3. They might have migrated the mail server to sendmail/postfix/qmail or any
other linux based mailing solution with Squirrel mail as the web access
tool.
4. I am not sure about the protocols or the mail clients now being used, but
the environment is surely on Windows based on the desktop PCs accesing
Squirrel Mail.

People in touch with NIC or PMO may kindly throw more light on these dobuts.
But I am happy that at least they started off something which is someway
connected to open source.

[ilugd] PM Office switches to Open Source Mailing Solution

[Dhiraj Gaur]

Dear All

Just read it this morning in TOI at page 7. PM Office has migrated to Linux
based mailing solution. Its a great achievent for the Open Source Community
in India.

Here goes the complete report

BUGGED Virus gripped PMO’s email for 3 months
New Delhi: Email system of the Prime Minister’s Office was under the grip of
a computer virus for three months last year forcing officials to replace the
software. The technical glitch plagued the email communication system of the
PMO, which was based on the Microsoft Outlook Express, from February to
April in 2008.
Although the extent of damage was uncertain, the PMO said that most of
the emails addressed to it were not received. The problem was detected only
in late April after which the Microsoft Outlook Express email software was
discontinued and replaced by — Squirrel mail.
The matter came to light during one of the hearings of the CIC where the
PMO submitted that “there was virus problem during the months of Feb-Mar-Apr
that was diagnosed only late in April”. The CIC was hearing the plea of one
retired Air Commodore Lokesh Batra, who had complained to PMO, through an
email, about discrepancies in the Hindi version of the RTI Act. AGENCIES

Re: [ilugd] dimdim anyone?

[Dhiraj Gaur]

Pretty good is what I would comment. A good and tough open source competitor
to Webex I must say.

I have tried doing conference with DIM DIM with quite a few of my friends
and everybody is impressed (including ardent fans of Webex).Though webex
boasts of its superior network and service uptime i never found problem with
DIM DIM network. The maximum number of participants being 20 in a web
conference for the community edition. But experience on similar products
tells me that 6 or 8 people in a web conference are more than enough else it
becomes more like a crowd.

I have plans to integrate DIM DIM with asterisk and jabber and create some
more magic. If anyone has attempted anything similar please share your
experiences. I also wonder how many enterprises are using DIM DIM coz many
are already using Jabber for instant messaging.

Niyam I went through your blog post on improving spoken and written english.
Thank you for the same.I am trying to follow some of the suggestions however
i may take time to achieve perfection.

Re: [ilugd] [OT] Load balancing router

[Dhiraj Gaur]

If an old PC is available then do try considering Endian Firewall Community
Edition. I have been using it for quite sometime in my office. Works great
as well as unattended and most features are supported out of the box. a few
cyber cafes in my areas have started using it as well and they are pretty
much satisfied with it and its web interface makes it easy for the dumb as
well. And yes it does support load balancing as well.

Regarding HW based thing I guess u may try a hand at Linksys WiFi Router
upgrade their firmware with a linux firmware like DD-WRT and have fun, but I
guess for load balancing you may require two such routers.

http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/

http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3562391

http://www.wrtrouters.com/guides/upgradetolinux/

You may read about a few other such distros at

Re: [ilugd] Fwd: Fwd: M$ Tax Refund Quest

[Dhiraj Gaur]

Niyam

I think we need to make him clear that  suppose I  want  a BRAND X  laptop
and the company is not offering a model without  windows installed in it
(as is the  case with certain high end models of HP  and  Lenovo where they
proudly say " COMPANY recommends Windows Vista")  in such a case the buyer
has no option but to buy his preferred  configuration and BRAND along with
the win OS. It is in this case a LINUX user is left with no choice but to
claim refund. Rather the user is at the mercy of the OEM/retailer if at all
he/she will get a refund.

GLPI meets all ur requirements except escalation, however it does support
