Re: [LUAU] Seeking On-Island Consultant
Jeff Mings wrote: Interesting question about reviving LUAU, James. I attended LUAU meetings back when they were held in the Manoa Innovation Center. I remember how things were mostly interesting, but I realize that the way we seek information and collaborate has changed completely. Most of the LUAU list subscribers are probably very good at finding the info they need about new stuff. We tend to be the ones who furnish answers and solutions to our clients, and are used to googling info, supporting our users/clients via remote control, and managing servers that we've never even touched. We don't need the physical meetings as much, and we tend to interact with other Linux users on an international scale, rather than in our own town. Having monthly LUAU meetings could be interesting, but I'm not really sure how many people would show up on a regular basis.

Given your depth and experience with FreeBSD and the terminal, you may
find yourself comfortable with the /usr/share/doc/{relevant
documents}. The Debian/Ubuntu realm have good documentation for
configuring various behaviors within /etc/network/. The wpasupplicant
files have good information for profiles.
I know just what you are dealing with. The GUI tool has the ability
to set a profile, but it never really worked well for me. This is
kind of a weak area right now, and it's partly why WICD is becoming so
popular.
The way I handled your situation for years on my old orange ibook
running debian was to create a few /etc/network/interfaces files.
Then I ran a basic script like iamhome, iamatwork, iamatuh, to load
the appropriate configurations for my interfaces. For you, this will
work fine.

I have in the past donated equipment to the labs for schools projects, which I think is a good project. I have space in my noc for hosting the LUAU server with 24/7 power backup. I would be open to hosting the server and a mirror if someone wants to remotely maintain them. I have no idea where the list is hosted now, but it seems to be working. Thanks to all who responded.

Re: [LUAU] Ubuntu LoCo
Jim Thompson wrote: Dear LUAU, Beware the politician who offers one thing while taking another. I'd like to make an attempt at illumination of the "backstory" here. I've grown concerned about HOSEF's "dual mission", and its increasing self-conflict within the organization. Specifically, I think the focus on "eWaste" and recycling is now in-conflict with the "Open Source Education" activity defined by HOSEF's name. I'd like HOSEF to be more about "education and advocacy" of Free and Open Source in Hawaii, to that end, I've expended some personal resource in that mater. For example, many of you are perhaps unaware that I personally paid for Richard Stallman's flight here last year. (rms stayed with Scott because he *didn't want* to stay in a hotel.) I also arranged for Barton George and Dave Roberts to attend, though their employer(s) paid their way. I further paid to fly the group to Kamuela, put them up in a hotel, (over rms's objections), and arranged for them to present to folks there. While many in the audience were from the astronomy community in Kamuela, one father/son drove in from Kona, and other folks drove in from Hilo. I received no remuneration from any party for this, I was just "happy to do it". I've been working on another list of people, including Jordan Hubbard who runs Apple's "unix development group", (and before that ran the FreeBSD project), who was actually born in Honolulu, and others, for a encore. Rather than a "big event", run in the pursuit of profit, with admission and a large venue, I'm more in-favor of smaller, one-day events, hosted someplace like UH. I have good contacts in the industry (a side effect form having been in "unix" since 1980), so I think I can be successful collaborating with others (of you, especially) to do this again and again. I'd also like to help organize more "tech days", not unlike the one that Matt organized around MythTV. Many of you have good contacts and good ideas as well. Tellingly, we've not done much, because there has been a 'friction' between LUAU and HOSEF that I've been unable to heal, or even mitigate. Tellingly, I'm interesting in the 'tinkering' aspects of FOSS, and now I'm about to move into a place where I might actually be able to do it. Scott thinks I'm attacking him because I want to change HOSEF. I'm not attacking Scott, but I can understand that he's upset about his "life's work" (to quote John Edwards) of eWaste being separated from an organization that both he and many other's see as "his". In the minds of (far) too many, HOSEF *is* Scott, and herein lies the issue. I see real dangers of a 501(c)3 (like HOSEF) intertwined with both political campaigns (Scott's, his former employers, his former/future political opponents). I see real dangers of a 501(c)3 that begins to attach large revenue streams, such as could be realized by HOSEF becoming an "eWaste" recycler. I've hear now from too many people that they'd be interested in HOSEF, without the "recycled computers in schools" aspect. And, to be blunt, I see real dangers of an organization that is, by all appearances, the corporate identity of one man. So, with these things in-mind, I'd like HOSEF to change its mission to concentrate on "education and advocacy" of Open Source *in* Hawaii, run with much more involvement from the community.The alternative is to abandon HOSEF, but I don't think thats quite as good an outcome. So, with you the community in-mind, I'd like to hear from you on this matter, preferably on-list, but I'll take private comments (and keep them private) on this matter. Jim ___ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau Aloha Jim and all HOSEF and old LUAU members, I cant see the point in letting some company trash old computers that could have an open source os on them and reused for schools or boys and girls clubs etc. That goes against Open source. It smells of M$ to me. Some people in elected office must have a brother in law in the recycle business ... this is Hawaii. I have known Scott for many years and he has always been supportive of the open source community education and anti establishment. Unless he's changed his stripes he should be in favor education and of retired computers going to the open source movement not the trash. If there are two streams of thought then we should consider two separate organizations. Maybe even two lists.

You might consider starting with a basic configuration from the dovecot wiki before enabling various optional bits: http://wiki.dovecot.org/DovecotServerInstallations/FreeBSD/6.0RELEASE/20Users The example uses pam, but if that does not work, try pointing auth_passdb to shadow or passwd-file /etc/master.passwd. If you are using actual system users, stay away from UW imap and stick with dovecot. The server box has ssh and I can get onto it with the password assigned with no problem. Doesn't the dovecot use the same account passwd for the account? It assumes you have pam. I am not sure if the FreeBSD port for dovecot patches the default configuration to account for this. Or do I have to enable ssl to use the ssh passwrd system which is encrypted? I just left ssl off to run unencrypted for testing. SSH and SSL do not interoperate. See the following link for a less terse explanation: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1818 This was my problem from the beginning not being able to receive, only send to other accounts. But at least dovecot has created an err message that says why. I don't know how to fix this. Havent found a how to.

Re: [LUAU] Slow internet response with different nameservers
Richard Z wrote: rr.com has 4 dns server listed, dns4.rr.com, dns3.rr.com, dns2.rr.com and dns1.rr.com. Unfortunately dns4 has very slow response time. In my testing more than 3-4 seconds. Sometime even no response. When there are multiple dns servers, it is up to the dns client to decide how/where to send the queries. Some would send to the first one, wait for response, if no response then send to the second one. Other clients would send queries to all servers at the same time and use the first response. Others use round robin to choose which one to send query first. Without doing some research, I suspect linux always uses the first dns server which has the lowest response time in this case. Windows clients probably query all servers and get the response from the fastest server. On 6/3/06, David Imai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The RR servers are in Orange County CA and Oakland CA.

[LUAU] Radius dialup on FreeBSD
Aloha Gurus, Does any one have experience with Free Radius? We have installed it and the [EMAIL PROTECTED] uning PW: xyz123 works ( It was setup by another person) but, when I add for example [EMAIL PROTECTED] PW: dog, into the users file it wont connect. Dials and makes an attempt but drops the connection. I have cheched the How to's and FAQ's. I have rebooted the server. I have checked the Clients listings and the 2 IP's are ok. ( Or I don't think the test name would work.) Am I missing adding something to another file for each additional user? Any suggestions?

Their goals are so different. Matt, I'm relatively new around here so I'm wondering what you mean by this? - Julian Julian, Here is a summary of what people were talking about. Before HOSEF was created, before Luau, there was MPLUG. Mid-Pacific Linux Users Group. MPLUG was started by Warren Togumi before he went on to bigger and better things. It was a bunch of Linux enthusiasts that would get together once a month can talk shop, learn from each other, and build cool stuff. It seems like everything the Linux community does is run by HOSEF. People want to have an autonomous LUAU back. HOSEF is geared toward bringing Linux to the OSS neophytes, LUAU is for newbies-gurus & everywhere in between, business owners, solution providers etc. Of course there is some cross over. There was also talk of having a annual conference as a fundraser to highlight OSS in the community - j/k You should come next build, you can ask the 'old-timers' - people over 30 about the good old days. -Matt ___ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau Matt, I believe LUAU was created way back before I started to go there to the meetings in the 1990's when it was held at the UH Innovation Center. Gary Sublett got me interested, but he has since moved back to Kentucky. I see him answer on line occasionally so he may be able to give more of a time line history. There has always be an up and down pull in interest for LUAU and the name was maintained for a mailing list identity. I am glad to see you guys are doing some installs and learning sessions again.

[LUAU] Bios won't see hd.
My friend has a Dell Precision 420 with bios A-07. He wants to load DOS in a 2.x gig drive and use this box to replace an old 486 SX box he has with a program he needs for his business on it. I looked at it and tried to get a 2.X gig drive to be recognized but this Pentium 3 800 mz Dell box won't find it and the user bios settings won't stick above a 1000 MB drive. Anyone know if a bios upgrade would fix this or is there a trick to force it to see the drive? I had a similar problem trying to get a Dell Lap top to take a bigger HD and didn't have any luck.

Back when I was the hot-shit network (telecommunications and data communications) stud at Sun Microsystems, (late 80s, and very early 90s), back when a lot of people called me "Jim net.god Thompson", my new boss, (I'd just been moved up), a very wise Indian gentleman, stopped me during one of my weekly 1:1 rants. "Jim", he said to me, "you always bring me problems, but never solutions!" (You have to imagine it with a thick Indian accent.) I was, in a word, "enlightened". Sam Rangole (for that was his name) had shined a perfect spotlight on my misbehavior. I was complaining about how stupid the other groups were, how far they had to go, and how they were not going to reach the goal anytime soon. He didn't waste any breath giving me "yes but", or "you should", he simply asked me to start bringing him something he could use to do his job.: Solutions (from an expert). In my new state of enlightenment, I started working harder. I would see a problem, diagnose it, and never raise it to Sam's attention without a suggested path forward. The results were amazing, rather than fear me, people I worked with started to seek me out. "How can I make this better?" "Will you check my results?" I was no longer someone who would tear them down, but rather *could be counted on* to make them look better. So, everyone, please bring forward solutions to the problems you pose.

I cleared it by disabling the BIOs internal motherboard settings and installing a printer card that I set to run at IRQ 7 - 0278 . This brought up the zip drive with no problem. Then I removed the card and reset the internal motherboard back to IRQ 7 and 0378. This brought up the zip drive with no problem. I did set the BIOs to EPP as you suggested. Aloha!

[luau] FreeBSD zip drive install
Configuring a zip drive. I have a FreeBSD 4.4 box that works fine with Zip drives. I have another 4.4 that I can't get to configure the /zip drive. I am now building the box using 4.9 and can't get the zip drive to work on it either. snd module installs and works fine BTW on all three boxes. The error messages I get are /dev/da0s4 Device not configured. and trying to unload the kernel module to reload it gives the same message. da0* shows up under /dev when you cd /dev Is there another way to assure that the detection is being made? I see an error under dmesg now: vpo0 vpo0 EPP mode (seems OK.) BUT: vpo0: VPO error/time out (5) shows just before the last line of the dmesg file. Any idea what I should be looking for? I am doing this vpo install from old notes and I can't figure out what's causing the configuration failure. I also tried entering /etc/fstab parameters same as the other box that works. /dev/da0s4 /zip msdos rw,noauto 0 0 This IS the problem. The 3 da0 entries that show up on the 4.4 box dmesg that works do not show up on the other 2 boxes. da0 at vpo0 bus0 target6 lun0 da0 : (iomega zip) da0 : 96mb Any of you FreeBSD guys know how to cure this?

I tried 2 IP addresses in the TCP/IP settings and it came up finally. The other Win 98 boxes on the lan don't have to have a real IP in there to come up and surf the internet from inside my network.

[luau] Network problem
Any body have this problem with Windows 98? I have my friends Windows 98 box which runs behind a Linux/unix firewall router. It stopped resolving the IP addresses to the domain names on this box. The Netscape nor Explorer will not recognize the names. I cant ping from this box by name either, but using the IP address I can ping ok. Anybody know what resolves the name to the IP in Windows 98 that could be not set or screwed up? Thanks. Aloha! Al Plant - Webmaster http://hawaiidakine.com Providing FAST DSL Service for $28.00 /mo.
