 I do use Puppet extensively for automating deployments. I suppose you

 Though it may be good to discuss the experiences in real life

Totally agree. Also using Puppet for managing the 10s of web servers.
We need to talk about this stuff in the meetings. There are lot of

Hi Puneet,
 You can go through Apt documentation by installing these packages

 Hey, *I may be wrong*, but Synaptic uses library calls to APT

  Last I heard, ubuntu stopped using the debian installer completely since
  the only official build was the one from the livecd. Which does not do
  lvm/md unless you drop to the shell and do things manually.

The Alternate and Server Install cd use the debian installer. And
these are also official builds from Ubuntu. Yup the 'livecd' doesnt
have a GUI lvm/md installer.


 Google comes up with these hints :
 http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=enq=ubuntu+install+lvm

 If thats the process you need to follow, perhaps in 1994 or in 1996 it
 would have been acceptable. however, things have sort of moved on these
 days.
I presume you mean 2004/2006, frankly would like to know more where

Re: [ilugd] ubuntu feisty roll-forward till oct 2007

2007-12-29 Thread Jasbir Khehra
Hi Niyam,
I am also using Ubuntu Feisty on an old Cyrix-III box. If you are
worried about Ubuntu upgrading from Feisty to Gusty, well it wont
until unless you specifically  tell it to 'dist-upgrade' to the +1
version. So the updates you receive post Gusty launch are specific to
Feisty and are mostly security updates or backports,updates  (if you
have the these repositories enabled in the sources list). IIRC Ubuntu
will support Feisty security updates till April 08.
So in your case while updating your freshly installed  Feisty it will
update to the latest packages from the Feisty branch of the
repository.
Mostly its the kernel updates which may botch old h/w systems, in my
case mouse stop working so simply reverted back to the old kernel .
Niyam can you recall the specific package update which might have
caused your system to go into turbulent weather? ( /var/log/dpkg.log*
files might be of help).

To take a snapshot of the installed system you can try APTonCD [1] , I
havnt used it myself but all it will help is in saving you bandwidth.
Or you can just dump /var/cache/apt/archives/ from system to system

On 10/22/07, आशीष शुक्ल Ashish Shukla [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
 Hash: SHA1

 Hi,

 I used to connect to internet by PPPoE dialing to my ISP from my box
 (172.16.0.3). I wanted to DNAT TCP packets coming from external world
 on 9053 TCP port of ppp0 interface (which gets created a result of
 PPPoE dialing) to the my machine's ethernet interface (eth0)'s TCP port
 1203.

 The network service which I wanted to expose is listening on 172.16.0.3:1203 .

Its not clear so I am assuming here that the service and the internet
connection are on the same machine.
 For that I've created following iptables rules:

 iptables -t filter -A INPUT   -i ppp0 -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 
 9053 -j EPT
 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 9053 -j DNAT 
 --to-destination 172.16.0.3:1203
 iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -d 172.16.0.3 -p tcp --dport 1203 -j ACCEPT

The packets will hit the PREROUTING chain first and the dst port will
be modified therefore in your INPUT chain rule you give port 1203.
Also there is no need to use state module , because you need to open
this port for NEW as well as ESTABLISHED packets.
iptables -t filter -A INPUT -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 1203 -j ACCEPT
Hint , use: iptables -t table-name -nvL chain-name , to debug
which rules are being hit.

 But unfortunately above rules are not working as documented. I've then
 modified service to listen on same TCP port as exposed to external world,
 i.e. 9053 . And also modified iptables rules accordingly and it
 worked. Following are the new rules:

 iptables -t filter -A INPUT   -i ppp0 -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 
 9053 -j ACCEPT
 iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport 9053 -j DNAT 
 --to-destination 172.16.0.3
 iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -d 172.16.0.3 -p tcp --dport 9053 -j ACCEPT

 I'm running Linux kernel version 2.6.18-5-amd64, can anyone tell what
 I'm doing wrong ?

 The first lawsuit for GPL violation in the USA has been filed yesterday

[ilugd] Adding an image to Disclaimer on Outgoing e-mails

2007-09-07 Thread Jasbir Khehra
Hi all,

Now the higher ones want the company logo as part of disclaimer on all
outgoing email. The setup for disclaimer is  postfix --- altermime
  postfix , which is very well documented and works like a charm.
So to add the image,  passing the output from altermime to a python
script which first checks for Content-Type Multipart and then inserts
the image and the HTML tags to src the image as a Multipart/Releted
attachment to the original message.  The final email shows up
correctly in KMail and Thunderbird with the image  being displayed
after the disclaimer text, but not so in M$ Outlook. Well it comes as
an attachment on M$ Outlook.

Has anyone done this before? Any tips? Am I going about it the right way?
This is  a quick hack, dont know much about MIME , so was hoping for
some quick hints here, otherwise will have to thumb through the MIME
RFCs .
The setup is:
Debian Sarge
Postfix 2.1.5-9
Python 2.3.5
Python email package 2.5.5
altermime (built from source) 0.3.8

TIA,
jasbir

Some of you might know that I am involved with the CentOS project, and

Hi Karan,
   Any chance you will be in Chandigarh or whereabouts ? We can have a

Alternatively, if there is a more geeky crowd, maybe we can look at

I was also thinking of running a web server from home 24x7 for personal use 
but the datacaps limit imposed by BSNL is a damper.My real query is 
regarding this data transfer limits imposed by the dsl ISPs in India. 
1. Is this a money making gimmick or do the Indian ISPs lack the 
infrastructure to give real broadband with unlimited usage ?

2. Is this practice also followed in other countries?
