Re: [SLUG] Managing incoming faxes

Does anyone have any suggestions on either file managers that
do faxes well or fax viewers that do file management ok (copy,
move, delete, send to email, print) - perhaps some perl/python/php
libraries to read  display fax TIF files (or I can convert to PDF). I
was reluctant, but will consider web based stuff - must be able to do
rotate  zoom though and I feel a web interface isn't good for that.
efax might be a good place to start -- there are a number of GUI front 
ends to it (search at Freshmeat).

Also, being command line driven, it should lend itself to all sorts of 
manipulation.

[SLUG] freeradius cisco aps mac authentication

2005-03-04 Thread robert

Hi Guys

I have a debian (sarge) server running
free radius. I have a cisco wireless access point which is using mac authentication.
I've gotten a test user being authenticated.
What I'm not sure how to handle its
the assigning of IPs. If possible I'd like to use my normal dhcp server.
If I'm not using ppp, the radius server isn't involved in the issuing of
ips at all, right?

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers

Doesnt the AP just talk radius for authentication, then allow 
association or not?
then you would just use straight dhcp for the client - if you want a 
static ip, just give them a static lease. the cisco might have some sort 
of partition and dhcp relay function - been a while since i used them.

[SLUG] THE GOOD FOOD WINE SHOW MELBOURNE 2005

2005-03-04 Thread Ms. Manini Badlani




Hi Jan!,

I’m writing from 
India about your participation in 
THE 
GOOD FOOD  WINE SHOW MELBOURNE 2005 at the Melbourne 
Exhibition  Convention Centre, in Melbourne, 
Australia, 
from June 
17 - 19, 2005.

I thought you might like to 
consider offering yourvisitors reusable cotton bags with your name and 
logoprinted on it atyour booth. This would not only advertise your 
presence at the show but would also benefit visitorsby lettingthem 
use your bag to carry all the materials they collect at the show. After the show 
the bags would be used for other purposes but your name would still be visible 
to everyone.

We have 
a huge range of bags, which besides promotions could be used for gifting 
presents and wine. We also do customized bags in fabrics like jute, organza and 
tissue. These could really make a gift statement. Could I request you to have a 
look at these sites for the same - http://www.badlani.com/bags/giftbags.htm 
and http://www.badlani.com/bags/winebags.htm 


We regularly cater to companies 
participating in these shows and they are universally pleased with the level of 
care and customization we deliver.To know what customers feel about our 
work, please visit www.badlani.com/bags/customers.htm. 


Though we have more than 100 styles 
for customers to choose from, the preferred style for trade shows and 
conferences tends to be our style #A01 (http://www.badlani.com/bags/a01.htm). There is no minimum limit to the 
number of bags. We could also courier them to the venue if you so 
desire.

Do take a moment to look at our 
website www.badlani.com/bags/. I hope you will like what you see 
enough to ask to look at samples. 

I look forward to hearing from 
you.

My regards, 
Manini

Cisco wireless AP will authenticate, authorize and account(AAA) against
RADIUS server.
So, it will also AAA with free RADIUS as I understand free radius.
Since accounting is also  provided by the RADIUS server,
RADIUS needs to know the ip-address of cisco wireless AP to
provide accounting services for that AP  and
so the RADIUS server  supplies the ip-address itself. I do not
think that if you use RADIUS for AAA it will allow DHCP.
To check the available AAA config options, run config on your cisco AP.
After entering the command:
aaa new-model
enter the '?' as the first character and only character on the
next line. It will list the available 'aaa' command options.

[SLUG] Network-reachable rescue CDs?

2005-03-04 Thread Ben Buxton

I've got myself a remote server located faaar away from me (other side
of the world), and need to build a rescue CD for it in case things go
wrong.

Unfortunately most bootable linux CDs dont enable things like ssh
servers, and generally cant be built with static IP addresses into the
CD image.

Does anyone know of a bootable distro with these features:

- *easily* buildable iso with pre-configured ip address
- ssh service enabled automatically on bootup
- suitable for headless machines (ie no options to type on bootup)-
- Doesnt require a floppy to read the (network) config

I've been looking around quite a lot and so far nothing I've found will
let me stick the CD into the machine, have it boot and be instantly
network reachable. (And dhcp is not an option here). Anyone know of
something I've missed, or an easy way to adapt something like knoppix?

Cheers,
BB

The new Ubuntu LiveCD is designed for easy adaptability. You can mount the
cloop filesystem, install packages, change settings, and run with it. I'm
not immediately sure about static network configuration though, but I can
find out.

Doh! I meant to get one off you the other day @ UTS. It'd be a useful 
addition to be able to do an install to any given ATA device with the 
compressed version and have it made bootable.

Anyway, I've managed to get Knoppix to do pretty much what you want Ben. 
I managed to cut an awful lot of stuff out, install  run by default sshd 
and vtund and mgetty (with AutoPPP). I think I saw in the startup 
somewhere it'll call /cdrom/knoppix.sh if present (IE in the root of the 
CD image) - boot it up and check in /etc/inittab and /etc/init.d/
