 As for RMS, who is an advocate of freedom of rights, he has just

Re: Computer recommendation for Linux server.

2011-06-16 Thread Dima (Dan) Yasny
any brandname machine with the right specs will do. a word of warning
though - don't hope to scale the specs, purchase the max set of
hardware you'll need right away - upgrades can be more expensive than
the machine itself.

If you expect to need more than a single server, maybe a beefy machine
that can carry multiple VMs would be preferable.


2011/6/16 Josh Roden joshro...@gmail.com:
 Hi Everyone,
 This is my new address (was j...@hadassah.ac.il).
 I searched the archives and only found a few answers to the
 same request that I made in 2009.
 I would appreciate any updated suggestions.
 The server needs a good RAID 5 card and, if possible, a dual
 and redundant power supply.
 The budget is up to 10,000 shekels.
 The computer should be able to serve  80 - 100 client computers.

 Thanks,
 Josh

Re: mail issues questions

2011-02-28 Thread Dima (Dan) Yasny
I've had problems sending to yahoo, until I set up DKIM. Never tried
hotmail, though none of the mailbox holders ever complained, so I guess it's
fine there.

Can you post a smtp transcript, done manually?

2011/2/28 Hetz Ben Hamo het...@gmail.com

 Hi,

 There used to be a time that in order to setup a mail server, all you had
 to do is the mail server itself, MX records, PTR and you're done.
 These days you'll need to also have SPF and DKIM.

 I did all the things for a mail server for my business, tested few emails
 to gmail, walla and other places, and I got it correctly without going to
 spam.
 Yahoo and Hotmail is another story: Yahoo moves the mail I send to SPAM
 while in Hotmail the email simply doesn't show up anywhere.

 I looked at the logs (I'm using postfix) and I don't see any error message
 at all. Here's an example:

 Feb 28 02:02:03 mail postfix/smtp[5758]: 256081900B2: to=
 heuni...@yahoo.com, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=1.6,
 delays=0.04/0.01/0.01/1.6, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok,
 id=08689-09, from MTA([127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as
 B79C11900C2)
 Feb 28 02:02:03 mail postfix/smtpd[5764]: disconnect from
 mail.hetzbiz.info[127.0.0.1]
 Feb 28 02:02:03 mail postfix/qmgr[12019]: 256081900B2: removed
 Feb 28 02:02:03 mail postfix/qmgr[12019]: B79C11900C2: from=
 h...@hetzbiz.info, size=1508, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
 Feb 28 02:02:05 mail postfix/smtp[5765]: B79C11900C2: to=
 heuni...@yahoo.com, relay=g.mx.mail.yahoo.com[98.137.54.238]:25,
 delay=2.2, delays=0.03/0.01/0.75/1.4, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 ok dirdel)

 Same for hotmail, Code 250 (which means it send OK).

 I tried to contact Hotmail support, only to find some that I need to
 register to their Sender ID (did it, successfully) and the SPAM protection
 program (which I failed since I don't have any opt out - go tell them that
 all the customers in this business are paying, and if someone leaves, he
 won't get any service/emails, I already replied that to them).

 Any tips what can be done about these 2? (hotmail and yahoo)

 Thanks,
 Hetz

Re: mail issues questions

2011-02-28 Thread Dima (Dan) Yasny
DKIM is a method of publishing a public key in a txt DNS record, with which
the subject line of every email sent, is signed. When yahoo MTA's receive an
email, they don't just check the PTR record, they also check the subject
line signature, with the public key available in the DNS records. If the
signatures match - email goes through, otherwise it's dropped.

And as for SPF: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework

 what are they anyway? try removing SPF and DKIM for your domain and

 It is reachable. route's output is perfectly ok, the machine can access the
 net and I can access it from outside. DNS works, ping works etc..

 Looking at /var/log/messages, all I see is:

 No new IP addresses were added. Default firewall configuration.


 - Network card does not exist (as far as the virtual machine is

 exists, I'm ssh'ed to this machine as I write this mail :)

 I posted the configuration here. Looks OK to me.

Advice on where and what to study

2010-12-03 Thread Dima (Dan) Yasny
Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice on which courses and where to take, in the
Central area.

What I'm looking at is getting some more formal and proper programming
background, something around
Intro to C - Advanced C - intro to C++ - Advanced C++ - Linux
specifics maybe...

I tend to mostly work with Python, but I keep running into dead ends
because I lack proper education more and more recently

I am aware of proper BSc/BA programs, but I'd like to do this in under
a year overall, and stay away from the extra math/physics/etc courses.

Background - 15 years sysadmin, bash, python, powershell scripting
Highschool pascal, prolog, magic, assembly etc - long forgotten mostly

So if anyone is aware of a college of institution that provides such
courses, preferrably as a set up program, I'll be very happy to hear
about it


Cheers,

 University courses I know don't teach you much about actual programming. I 
 would take at least one course about software engineering, preferably both 
 functional and object oriented, including uml and testing methodologies. Also 
 an object oriented course with emphasis on object oriented methodologies and 
 design. These have proven more invaluable to me than actual programing 
 courses. Computer structure and operating systems have also been very good, 
 but you have to read between the lines, as sometimes the interesting part of 
 the syllabus is hiding behind lecturers who are not even aware of it (initial 
 course in lisp in tau for example)

Computer structure you say? I'll keep that in mind. In general, I'd
like to get a hold of at least a list of courses to look for and their
ordering.



I want to get some proper studies done because I've been touching some
topics here and there, and ended up at a point where I can write a
heavy recursive function in C or Python, but reading a bit of code
where instead of int I see unsigned int puzzles me.

 Hi,
 DRAC/IMM/iLO are great - and I have them on my servers.
 But I need the KVM for clients who want to co-locate there servers to my
 hosting, and they don't have those solutions.

Then look at Avocent's line of products - IMM/RSA/DRAC are an Avocent
rebrand really, and I suspect iLO has a lot from there as well

BTW, If you sell fat VPS, based on KVM for example, you can simply
provide VNC access to the VMs.


 2010/11/29 Dima (Dan) Yasny dya...@gmail.com

 The native ones are quite OK nowadays - Dell DRAC/IBM IMM/HP iLO...

 Anything Avocent should be OK as well

  Hi,
  I was wondering if someone could recommend a good KVM switch which I can
  connect to servers and control them through the net.
  I have seen few KVM's which gave some crappy display results, others
  which
  have some issues that when you press a key, it repeats it dozen times
  (try
  to type an IP like that).
  Any suggestions?
 
  Thanks,

 *Subject:* Web based file exchange portal

 Hi all,

 I am looking for an OSS solution to the following:
 - Linux (RHEL based) frontend, running on Apache
 - Windows backend and filer, with AD auth
 - Users are able to upload/download files using a web interface (and
 hopefully a windows/OSX/Linux client)
 - File versioning is nice to have
 - Quotas for users
 - FTP access is also nice to have

 The idea is to have a Linux server in DMZ for file exchange control of
 files that are actually in a network that holds the windows infrastructure
 I have checked iFolder (mostly Suse oriented, mono/dotnet based, so I
 probably can't use it). SparkleShare is too raw for production.

 Either way, I don't really need the dropbox-like functionality, just the
 basic file upload/download and permission management, maybe someone can
 advise on an appropriate piece of software I could use


 Thanks
 D.

Re: official way to load aoe module?

2010-08-22 Thread Dima (Dan) Yasny
Thinking about it, in this case there doesn't seem to be any gain in using
AoE or iSCSI over NFS. NFS is far from being perfect, but it takes care of
the shared FS, and since the network spped is the bottleneck here...

 I think you should be *very* concerned about the situation where 2
 guests mount an ext3 partition and start to manipulate files
 *sequentially*. It looks like you *are* concerned (rightly), since you
 wrote that only one client *mounts* the partition at a time.

  Another option was to allow all guests to mount the file
  system read/write but carefully configure each guest to own
  different files or directories of sqlite files on the FS.

 What if one starts, e.g., creating files or appending content to
 existing files (and allocating new blocks, etc., in the process)? The
 other clients won't be aware of it.

 I admit I have not thought long and hard about it, but it sounds
 dangerous to me.
