[SLUG] Allowing ftp out on different ports other then 21

[scott]

Hi all,
I have a problem I cannot find a solution on, hopefully an iptables guru 
can help.
My brother would like to be able to connect to ftp servers that use ports 
other then 21, ie 4500.
I know that with iptables, there is modules for ftp connection tracking 
and such, but this only seems to apply to port 21.
He can ftp to ftp.kernel.org and list the contents fine, but when he tries 
to connect to servers listening on non-standard ports, the listing times 
out.

How can I configure the iptables appropriately?

The only other thing I can think of is an ftp proxy, but this is not 
desirable.

Thanks,

Scott

[SLUG] M$ now seeing OpenSource as a threat

[Chris]

Hey Y'all,
No im not becoming a news delivery service -- however this sounds like
good news. This news is adapted from the IDG site, linuxworld.com.au

Chris D

Begin News{
Microsoft has confirmed it sees the open-source software movement as a
threat to its commercial business model, in a quarterly report filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The statement, which first appeared in Microsoft's annual report on its
2002 fiscal-year operations, amplifies comments by Microsoft Chief
Financial Officer John Connors recently about the threat of Linux to
Microsoft's server business.

"The popularization of the open source movement continues to pose a
significant challenge to the company's business model," Microsoft wrote
in its recent filing. "(This is) including recent efforts by proponents
of the Open Source model to convince governments worldwide to mandate
the use of Open Source software in their purchase and deployment of
software products."

Microsoft said it may have to reduce the prices it charges for its
products, and revenue and operating margins may consequently decline if
the open-source movement continues to gain market acceptance.

But an analyst who closely follows Microsoft said that while Microsoft
genuinely perceives the open-source software movement as a threat, it is
unlikely to adjust its pricing any time soon in response.

"Microsoft's response up until now (to the open-source movement) has
been nonmonetary," said Directions on Microsoft Inc. Research Director
Rob Helm. "It's loosened up access to source code, made more efforts to
support the government market, and created online communities that mimic
those that support open-source development projects."

With Microsoft's desktop operating-system market share at more than 90
percent and still growing, any threat to Windows from a system like
Linux remains a distant one, Helm said. Where Microsoft faces near-term
pressure is in the market for server software, where Microsoft hopes to
expand its Windows NT/2000 market share but finds itself fighting the
growing open-source groundswell, he said.

It also faces growth challenges in the acutely price-sensitive
government and educational markets, he said.

"Sometimes, Windows may be overkill for (those markets), and outside the
U.S., there's political pressure to not be too dependent on Microsoft
for government functions," Helm said. "There's a long-term threat
there."

In the SEC filing, Microsoft contrasted its commercial software
development (CSD) model with the open source movement. The financial
investment in software inherent in the CSD model benefits end users,
according to Microsoft.

"The company believes that the CSD model has had substantial benefits
for users of software, allowing them to rely on the expertise of the
company and other software developers that have powerful incentives to
develop innovative software that is useful, reliable and compatible with
other software and hardware," Microsoft wrote.

If Microsoft is to vanquish this threat and overcome challenges posed by
a weak global economy, it will have to offer users compelling reasons to
buy its software, the company said in its filing.

"The company's revenues would be unfavorably impacted if customers
reduce their purchases of new software products or upgrades to existing
products because new product offerings are not perceived as adding
significant new functionality or other value to prospective purchasers,"
Microsoft wrote in its filing.

Microsoft began adding the open-source risk disclosure to its quarterly
SEC filings because "it just seemed like an appropriate place to list
it, along with other uncertainties," according to a spokeswoman.
"Microsoft had been publicly acknowledging those concerns for quite a
while."

The above site is excellent.
I have used mainly the seminar.sty and prosper package. Both are
excellent. The propser has more control over the PDF file and can do
slide transitions and you can use colour more easily. The seminar
package has more control over things like creating smaller slides like 4
to an A4 page which can be printed out to hand out to people or use as a
cue for yourself. 

One general suggestion i have is to avoid anything that looks like a
PowerPoint (PP) presentation. Two reasons; I dot think that those styles
are very professional or laid out well. The background yakes away impact
from the content. 2. Such PP styles are now like the descending flight
of ducks on the wall. They are over cliched and over used. Eg for the
prosper example (Figure 1.5) they have a screen shot that looks like a
PowerPoint Presentation. That's what to avoid IMO. But you can use
prosper and make your own style quite easy. Its an excellent package. 

For the last presentation I made in January at a conference I preented a
summary of a Web based cave database. I used an off white background,
and black text (Utopia). At the bottom for those that were bored I put a
short bit of data extracted from the actual database of funny cave
names. That was done in a smaller font and at a gray of 75% so it didnt
detract from my main text.
I presntation like that might stood out amoung the others precisely
because it was low-key and had more contrast. 

Things that are nice about prosper is that you can embed PDF commands
like telling Acrobat to open up as full screen, slide mode when you
click on the .pdf file (Windows and Mac OSX only). Interestingly the
organiser asked me how I did that. Others had to start acrobat and then
use the menus to set it while the audience waited.

mgp looked quite nice but you need your own laptop running Linux to use
it. Also make sure it uses nice fonts that are smooth and not bitty. I
like prosper or seminar as you can make PDF which any PC will display.
 Make sure they have Acrobat 5.0 installed and get them to test your
PDF beforehand ***

 All of the above though depends on what you are presenting and what
the audience expects.

RE: [SLUG] LaTeX slides

[Rowling, Jill]

I have used seminar.sty and converted the output using ps2pdf.

The only caveat I would suggest is to make sure you use a common font like
times if you are not 100% sure of the presentation computer.

After preparing my slides and converting them to PDF, I got them looking
nice on Linux and MacOSX, then drove over to Mum's place to make sure it
worked on Windows.

Mike used Prosper. It looked very good as a PDF on Linux and MacOSX but
failed completely on Windows until he changed the font to something boring
like times.

In our case, we had to produce something that worked on different operating
systems.
If you have the luxury of presenting using your own PC then anything that
you can see on the screen will be OK.
The only problems you might have are low resolution projectors, and things
that look purple on the screen might look blue on the projector.

Regards,

Jill.

I had. It's just that Mandrake's network service script checks a two config files for 
the same thing!

/etc/sysctl.conf AND /etc/sysconf/network

This means that if one contradicts the other, sysctl.conf wins because
its later in the network script.

[SLUG] Postfix defer_transports

[Ben Leslie]

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help me out with a small postfix problem.

Currently I have postfix setup to deliver mail to users home 
directories, which are on an NFS mounted directory. This works
fine. 

I'm upgrading the NFS server, which will require taking the NFS
mount offline for a while and copying the data over to a new disk.

During this time I, obviously, want to avoid losing email. So I
would ideally like postfix to recieve emails, store it in a 
queue in /var/spool, and then deliver it when I bring the new
NFS server online.

Would I be correct in guessing that:
  defer_transports = local
would do what I want?

It seems right to me, but just seems way too easy, so I think
I might be missing something.

Cheers,

Benno

jical can create xml from iCalendar files so as well as posting the

Render the SlugEventsCalendar.ics to HTML via one of jicals the included

Render the calender to pdf via another (that needs apache fop though).

script that calls jical on exit doing various renderings, XMLings and
publishings of my calendar data and free/busy info.

I'm definitely going to have a bash at moz calendar. I imagine the
interface is average as I think they use XUL which is a generic
interface builder based on XML!

I've just started playing with Mozilla Calendar, which Jeff pointed out
to me. It similarly combines calendars - it doesn't yet colour them
differently, although the bug has been filed... I'm hoping to make an
iCal file for SLUG events in the next few days to go with Gus's RSS
feed...

I'm not sure I like the Moz Calendar interface much - I haven't seen
iCal in action at all.

Apple's iCal is great and has renewed interest in the iCalendar file
format. It's better than Evolution's calendar in two main ways. 1) It's
prettier and 2) it can combine multiple iCalendars into one view. Thus
you could have your work and private stuff and Star Trek programming
times as separate calendars viewed simultaneously.

Bucketloads of other projects use the format either as an import/export
method or for file storage. This page gives decent list, it's a little
old:

Mozilla Calendar and Apple's iCal program also work with iCal files.

There are gazillions of projects that kinda sorta do that phpgroupware
springs to mind. An option might be to download the source, hack it to
shape and contrib the changes back in. I'm really into this area so
please read on before your write YACP - yet another calendar protocol.

RFC2445 iCalendar covers a lot of what you're thinking about except that
it uses Calendar clients such as Evolution and MS Outlook (or even web
clients). Both these two calendar clients comply with this RFC to some
degree. Well Outlook kinda sorta does.

This project http://jical.sourceforge.net extends Evolution (or any
calendar client that stores as iCalendar) to enable outlook and other
evolution users to book meetings and view the free/busy information via
the FBURL. If you have Outlook or Evo, you will see this information in
the contact record 'collaboration' area.

JiCal also takes iCalendar files and renders them to XML, from there to
HTML, PDF (with a little help from apache FOP) and soon to SVG (for a
gantt image of your day's events. It's not a big step to go to a full
HTML view of your calendar. In fact thats what some guys at Copenhagen
Uni want.

The JiCal project is embarking on the big kahuna in calendaring terms -
to implement the calsch draft from the ieft. This draft explains the
roles of a new 'Calendar Server' which calendar clients connect to. Its
the HTTP of the Calendar world. Once this is done, I'll be asking
someone to help me to write the relevant calsch plugin for Mozilla
Calendar, Evolution (maybe a mapi plugin for outlook) and maybe for the
multiple web calendar projects out there.

[SLUG] Samba help please

[Howard Lowndes]

Visualise 2 subnets.

LINDOM domain is 2 Linux boxes each running Samba 2.2.5, call them LINONLY
and LINWIN. The domain controller is LINWIN and is also the local master.  
LINWIN is also a WINS server.  Browse list sharing is also enabled from 
LINONLY to LINWIN, and reverse.

WINDOM domain is a number of Windows boxes, some running XP and others 
running NT or 98 (no 2K).  The Linux box LINWIN is also on this subnet, 
but the domain controller for the WINDOM domain is one of the NT boxes, 
lets call it WINNT, and lets call one of the XP boxes WINXP.

The LINDOM is configured to be highly permissive on both boxes, with
Security=share and guest account=true.

smbclient on either of the Linux boxes has no problem seeing each other.  
smbclient on LINWIN can also see WINNT, but the shares are not viewable 
(presumably due to access restrictions, but this is not the problem).

A WINXP box can see the LINDOM domain and can browse the shares on LINWIN 
but gets an access denied error when it tries to browse LINONLY.

A WINNT box gets an access denied error when it tries to see the LINDOM 
domain and naturally is unable to browse either LINWIN or LINONLY.

As a minimum I need WINXP to be able to browse LINONLY.

iptables filters are not a problem here.

Ideas would be nice :)

someone i was hosting decided that it was cool to use *sentences* for file

Have searched but there is nothing that suits my requirements.
Well lets just say there is nothing that suits my requirements
in PHP

I have had a searched those sites and basically I have found
nothing that fits the functionality of the application that
I am working on at the moment.

Basically potential clients can request tentative bookings
on the calendar whilst the owner can either modify, delete
or confirm appointments.

If you have seen those functionalities anywhere please
tell me then I don't have to code. :)

So far I have only spent 12 hours on the project and I going
grey quickly (wouldn't mind going bald then I wouldn't have to
get a hair cut ever again)

Not forgetting that http POST requests can be incredibly long - many
megabytes.

There is no real maximum size for a request though...but if you
only are taking GET requests, you can be pretty sure of dazzas
advice.

[SLUG] " Linux Edu Conf "

[James Dumay]

Dose anyone have any links to the "linux edu conf" ? anybody involved in
organising?

Just wondering, becouse I have been discussing with slug members about
using old outdated apple power macs as Linux Graphical Terminal Clients
and showing this at the conf

Anybody? Feel free to email me if you know about it or are interested in
this little project.

Yours
James Dumay

Re: [SLUG] Sharing ext3 with Win98 under Samba

[mkraus]

Put simply, if Linux can read it, it can export it as a share with Samba.

If something is shared from a MS Windows box, Samba can mount it.

It's not clear what you are wanting to do though.

All the best...

Subject:[SLUG] Sharing ext3 with Win98 under Samba


In one of those great decisions of the year, I made my new Linux boxen
use ext3.

Now I want to share part of it under Samba. (i.e. I need to be able to
pass data back to the linux boxen)

Is this possible ?
Or should I just install another hard disk in the linux boxen as ext2?
