Re: [ilugd] [LIG] [LONG] [RANT] Ubuntu and Quality Control

2008-03-16 Thread Suresh Ramasubramanian
Raj is not. I am - on a personal server that happens to host the ilugd list.
Choice of distro mostly due to the guy who did a remote hands install for my
box having only one current distro handy that had a usable version of the
tg3 gigabit ethernet driver.

And yes, aware of this, I tend to follow a install a restricted set of
packages and patch only when absolutely necessary policy that, eoe this
little contretemps with a broken mailman, has, knock on wood, worked fine so
far.

 Why are you using Ubuntu for production servers? Look how many major
 releases they have had vs. Debian, or RHEL. They push out the latest
 version of the software as fast as possible because that is what their
 user base wants. That's why I use Ubuntu on my desktops. But they can't
 possibly keep the same quality control on such a release cyle. For
 production servers I use Debian, except when a client requires
 enterprise support, then I use RHEL. I suggest the same.

going to find substantial differences of opinion of the sort you mention.
Competing technologies, fine. But a presentation is either technical or it

You need a program committee with enough tech savvy + enough experience

 The govt. would like us to believe that this will save trillions of

 server configuration to hit these servers only to reap the benefits or
 does something happen magically ?

All this means is that anycasted mirrors of {f,i,k}.root-servers.net
have been deployed in India.

Before this the nearest root servers [the main ones or their anycasted
instances], network wise, would have been in Singapore, or the USA.

It'll speed up your dns lookups, ideally.

IF your ISP fully peers at NIXI (www.nixi.org)

IF your ISP has the sense to set up BGP properly so that they take full
advantage of having an internet exchange, root server mirrors, and
possibly an akamai cluster ..

The problem is that quite a few Indian ISPs are severely lacking in
terms of router clue.  I remember seeing a tutorial on advanced bgp
where a so-called senior network admin at one of the larger Indian
ISPs asked Philip Smith, who was taking the tutorial, what a route map
was [2] ...

[1] Philip works for cisco, probably the best teacher of bgp and routing
that I have ever seen

Kerala kickstarts Linux usage with 100-plus help centres
By Anand Parthasarathy
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, OCT. 21. Everybody talks about it, but nobody does 
anything about it  ran American humorist Mark Twain's quip about the 
weather. It can just as well be applied to the dozens of well-meaning 
but impractical initiatives attempting to help lay computer users in 
India migrate from proprietary systems to the free-and-open environment 
of Linux  if they so choose.

LiTE centres
Now, appropriately enough, from the 100 per cent literacy State comes a 
down-to-earth initiative that may yet prove Mark Twain  and nay-sayers 
of open software  wrong: A low key ceremony in the office of the Chief 
Minister, Oommen Chandy, on Wednesday, saw the launch of a programme 
anchored by the Centre for Development of Imaging Technology (C-DIT), 
where 107 computer training institutes spread across all 14 districts of 
Kerala have been beefed up as `Linux Technology Extension (LiTE) centres.'

Crucial service
Every centre would soon provide customers with practical help in 
configuring their PCs around the Linux operating system  a crucial 
service since professional help is often required in finding the 
necessary `drivers' that will make popular peripherals such as printers, 
CD/DVD drivers, webcams, scanners and modems, work smoothly with Open 
Source software.

Training programme
The centres will also provide training in Linux applications, in 
installing the `OpenOffice' suite and will sell for a nominal cost 
C-DIT-developed tools such as the `Kairali Linux' distribution, 
localised for the Malayalam font, as well as one of the first Indian 
language primers on Free Software, the Malayalam-language book, 
`Swathanthra Softwayerum GNU/Linuxum,' which is priced at just Rs.55.

`Practical problems'
The author of the book and C-DIT Director, Achuthsankar S. Nair, told 
The Hindu : We feel the debate on free versus proprietary software is 
best left to academics.

For ordinary people who for whatever reason  economic or ideological  
want to migrate to Linux, there are a lot of practical problems and many 
hardware-related irritants remain. We would like to make migration 
easier  particularly for the thousands in Kerala who are left out of 
the computer revolution because there are few tools in Malayalam.

A small but dedicated Open Source Technology (OST) Team at C-DIT is 
currently training the resource persons who will soon fan out to the 
100-plus LiTE service centres in the State. Many of the trainees 
insisted on starting their training on Saraswathi pooja day during 
Dussera this weekend.

We are making our Open Source `Vidyarambham' this year, one LiTE 
centre head said.

Instructional CDs
Earlier, C-DIT also helped the Kerala State IT Mission with 
instructional CDs to back the Akshaya e-literacy programme. User 
enthusiasm forced the centre to quickly complement the original 
Windows-based version with another based on its own Kairali Linux version.

Malayalam version
It has also created a Malayalam version of a popular CD  
Chithrakkuduka containing thousands of `ethnic' clip art pictures and 
music tracks with an ethnic Kerala flavour.

2. Set your mailserver up to accept mail for that reverse DNS record

Following complaints from my hosting customers, I was investigating bounces

Rediff actually does have a fairly good attitude.
One thing they do however is that they'll 550 any incoming email at the 
gate if the sender is on the block sender list of any of their users, 
besides their usual filters [they use spamhaus.org and other fairly good 
blocklists]

Indiatimes is unresponsive, and not too good as far as spam issues go. 
And they are infested with nigerian spammers (among other spammers) as 
well ...

My question is that what recourse do other hostmasters have with dealing with 
such pests and incompetent mailing services? How do I get them to unblock my 
legitimate customers who have no reason to send spam to anybody?
Is indiatimes blocking you or are you blocking indiatimes?

2004-08-20 Thread Suresh Ramasubramanian

 Original Message 
Subject: [SECURITY] Fedora Core 1 Update: rsync-2.5.7-5.fc1.1

Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2004-268
2004-08-19
-
Product : Fedora Core 1
Name: rsync
Version : 2.5.7
Release : 5.fc1.1
Summary : A program for synchronizing files over a network.
Description :
Rsync uses a reliable algorithm to bring remote and host files into
sync very quickly. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences
in the files over the network instead of sending the complete
files. Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or
just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. A technical
report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in this
package.
-
Update Information:
This update backports a security fix to a path-sanitizing flaw that
affects rsync when it is used in daemon mode without also using
chroot.
For more information see http://samba.org/rsync/#security_aug04

3) Hosting under FSF India?
Right now, the indian copyright act is being cited.

4) What legal implications I will face, If I contribute to this

Please ask a competent lawyer.  Maybe Eben Moglen, as he is counsel for 
gnu.org

5) Decoding may be, but Coding is not a crime. It doesn't matter if I

You may be right, but in practice, that is a matter for lawyers to

* Free as in Freedom - Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software
* Creating Applications with Mozilla - Mozilla is not just a web browser. It is 
also a framework for building cross-platform applications using standards such as 
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), XML languages such as the XML-based User-interface 
Language (XUL), eXtensible Binding Language (XBL), and Resource Description Framework 
(RDF). Gecko, Mozilla's rendering engine, is used as part of the framework, along with 
other technologies such as XPConnect and XPCOM, Mozilla's component model. The Mozilla 
development framework also uses programming languages such as JavaScript, C++, C, 
Python, and Interface Definition Language (IDL). The Mozilla framework is used to 
create Netscape's Mozilla-based browsers (Netscape 6.x and 7.x), other browsers such 
as Galeon and Camino, and chat clients like ChatZilla and JabberZilla. Developers also 
use Mozilla to create development tools, browser enhancements, games, and other types 
of add-ons and applications. This book explains how applic
ations are created with Mozilla and provides step-by-step information that shows how to create your own programs using Mozilla's powerful cross-platform development framework. It also includes examples of different existing applications to demonstrate the possibilities of Mozilla development.
* The Art of Unix Programming - There is a vast difference between knowledge and expertise. Knowledge lets you deduce the right thing to do; expertise makes the right thing a reflex, hardly requiring conscious thought at all. This book has a lot of knowledge in it, but it is mainly about expertise. It is going to try to teach you the things about Unix development that Unix experts know, but aren't aware that they know. It is therefore less about technicalia and more about shared culture than most Unix books  both explicit and implicit culture, both conscious and unconscious traditions. It is not a how-to book, it is a why-to book. The why-to has great practical importance, because far too much software is poorly designed. Much of it suffers from bloat, is exceedingly hard to maintain, and is too difficult to port to new platforms or extend in ways the original programmers didn't anticipate. These problems are symptoms of bad design. We hope that readers 
of this book will learn something of what Unix has to teach about good design.
* XForms Essentials - The book in your hands introduces you to XForms, a combination of two of the most successful experiments ever performed on the Web: XML and forms. 2003 marks the 10-year anniversary of forms on the Web. During that time, the Web grew from a loose collection of technical research sites to the livelihood of millions; browser empires have risen and fallen; and the tech economy went through an inflationary period of cosmic proportions only to collapse back in upon itself. The addition of forms to the otherwise static HTML language in 1993 was a revolutionary step forward, making possible Yahoo!, Google, Amazon, Hotmail, and countless other interactive sites. During the mid-nineties, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), began work on XML, a uniform way to represent structured text and data, in an attempt to simplify an earlier language called SGML. XML became a W3C Recommendation in 1998, and has since gained momentum, becoming the foundation for XHTML
, SVG, the Universal Business Language (UBL), syndication formats like RSS, and DocBook (which was used to write this book). Nearly every data format that consists primarily of human-readable data has been influenced by XML.
* The Linux Development Platform - The Linux Development Platform shows how to 
choose the best open source and GNU development tools for your specific needs, and 
integrate them into a complete development environment that maximizes your 
effectiveness in any project. It covers editors, compilers, assemblers, debuggers, 
version control, utilities, LSB, Java, cross-platform solutions, and the entire Linux 
software development process.
* Intrusion Detection with SNORT: Advanced IDS Techniques Using SNORT, Apache, 
MySQL, PHP, and ACID - Rafeeq Ur Rehman explains and simplifies every aspect of 
deploying and managing Snort in your network. You'll discover how to monitor all your 
network traffic in real time; update Snort to reflect new security threats; automate 
and analyze Snort alerts; and more. Best of all, Rehman's custom scripts integrate 
Snort with Apache, MySQL, PHP, and ACID-so you can build and optimize a complete IDS 
solution more quickly than ever before.

That is ok - as long as the mail gets through.

You'd normally have to present a client CERT signed using the same CA as 
you used for your self signed CERT for verify=OK, if you are controlling 
relaying using self signed certs instead of using SMTP AUTH or relaying

Normally if you are just using a self signed cert to TLS encrypt mail,

The certificates are OK, they are read when Sendmail starts up, they
were working up to yesterday (before the upgrade).
BTW, the logs are from my local machine, but the remote server also
exhibits the same behaviour.
Did you by any chance upgrade openssl in the meantime as well?

[please upgrade if you use Exim  v4.21 -- Raju]
This bugtraq post is a bit of old news.

Also, 4.21 had assorted IPV6 bugs in it and was reverted pretty soon.

4.22 is current, I'd recommend you move to that.

Thanks for the feedback. I am using postfix but it is currently in the 
closed intranet
environment. for external email i am still stuck with using the smtp and 
pop3 services
of our host provider.

If you get such problems mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have a dedicated IP from palcom, and want to send mail out to the 
ilugd list using it ... if that is the case mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
with details of what your IP is.

If you are using Palcom's smtp server to send out mail do note that their 
entire IP block is listed in assorted antispam lists because they are 
hosting spammers on a non-stop basis, and not paying any attention to 
complaints.

You can find several providers who have an antispam attitude and also 
provide smtp auth capable email (for free even) - http://www.myrealbox.com 
for example.  Other providers (such as http://www.pobox.com and 
http://www.fastmail.fm for example) will sell you imap/pop3 + smtp auth 
accounts for a moderate rate per month.  Lots of other providers too - 
indiainfo, yahoo etc provide pop3 + smtp auth for a premium rate.

Or you can be an ultra geek and use an ssh tunnel to send out your mail 
through a free shell account somewhere (like arbornet.org / 
grex.cyberspace.org)
