Many list members may be using these Wi-Fi features in their own office / home and I would appreciate if you could share you experience. Please mention brand/model. I've been happy using ASUS RT-N66U. It supports b/g/n and has 3 external antennas which you can remove too. It has 3G backup mode via a USB dongle. The maximum I've run it without a reboot is for 9 days, but that's because the 3G dongle that I use creates trouble after 8-9 days, the WiFi continues to work though without issue. As for WPA2-Enterprise, I haven't used it myself. What I see in the dropdowns available is WPA2 Enterprise (which gives an option for AES), and, Radius with 802.1x I've not used Radius earlier, so not sure if that's what you're looking for. Regarding the firmware, there are multiple alternate firmwares available. I myself am using Merlin's firmware instead of the stock. It allows ssh into the system, and I can sort of use it as a computer, with a package management option. Additional packages can be installed since it has multiple USB ports, and you can have a storage device attached. The cost is though on a slightly higher side - Rs. 14.5K I'd paid late last year.

The Red5 setup is not that difficult. However, you need a front-end application which will connect to Red5 using rtmp:// If you wish to use the web cam via a web browser, then you'd ideally be using Flex as a front-end and generate a swf file. That swf once run in the browser file would connect to the Red5 server and save the videos (which usually is in .flv format). Adobe Flex is open source, and so is Red5. I guess if you're just starting out, then you should learn Flex and create a basic application before you connect to Red5. Exposure to Java development would be helpful here.

I am paying 26 euro (less than INR 1900) per month for a hardware which has 8 GB RAM, 2 HDD with 1 TB each (so I can use soft-raid), dual core AMD processor. This is not cloud. I've found E2E's price very competitive, near comparable to other cloud hosting providers, especially considering that they've servers in India. Bandwidth in India is still very expensive. Not being in a cloud has a disadvantage that you've to take care of your hardware yourselves. I've had servers in the similar cost range as yours, but these are usually very old servers and I've not found their performance to be satisfactory. Though if it's just for personal use, then maybe that suits, as it did for me for quite some time. I'm also hosting with Rackspace Cloud (3 instances) Hivelocity (2 dedicated servers), and I see that being outside India will always have its benefits on the cost front. On the other hand, being in India maybe slightly expensive, but it has its advantages as far as network connectivity is concerned. I had purchased a 1U rack server and co-located it in a Noida facility, and later moved to E2E's Cloud instance. In both cases, I've had a latency of between 20ms to 80ms and working over ssh seems that you're working on a local machine. Same goes for response times when you load your website in the browser - it's near instantaneous. The best part however is that it isn't affected by the international connectivity, which means if some under-sea cable fault happens, or say Bharti or Tata are facing temporary bandwidth issues, at least your server would perform well.

[ilugd] Comparison of 3G ISPs, SIM USB Modems Wifi Routers in Delhi
Hello Have spent close to 3 months evaluating 3G Internet service providers and different 3G Routers/USB Modems, and Wifi Routers available in Delhi. Wrote a detailed review of it on my blog - http://exain.com/go/1 - along with some php scripts that I used to test it. To summarize, Vodafone wins - for technology convenience, along with Huawei E1731 unlocked USB modem and ASUS RT-N66U Dark Knight Wifi Router. The ASUS RT-N66U is Linux based and you can login to it via SSH and do stuff which usually is not available in other home routers. It's pretty awesome in the sense that it not only provides good software functionality (which is also possible through alternate firmwares), but also a excellent hardware.

Yes this is Airtels' doing, I dont understand the reasoning for this redirects specially when they send you SMS and email about the threshold. Whats worse is if you are d/l a large file it will get trashed and you have to start all over again.

Re: [ilugd] Understanding File Permissions
File permission basics: File/Dir can have 3 access levels : owner, group and others File/dir can have 3 types of permissions: r(ead), w(rite), e(x)ecute Now directory cant be executed do it has special meaning. When a directory has execute permission it means the user can cd to it or look at its content. Note: there are other permission and other details which you can read in details online or using man -bash-3.2$ ls -d root drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Feb 29 13:34 root this means owner = read/write/execute group = read and execute others = read and execute -bash-3.2$ ls -l /root/deleteme -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Feb 29 13:34 /root/deleteme this is called the evil permission it means anyone can read/write/execute this file. I log in as normal user say User1 and I run rm /root/deleteme I get: rm: cannot remove `/root/deleteme': Permission denied But intrestingly, User1 can edit the file deleteme and delete the text in the file!! So what is happening is you have given r/w permission to everyone. That means file can be read or edited by everyone. But as files are content of directory and you dont have write permission on the directory. You cant delete the file itself. rgds vivek -- http://www.twitter.com/vivpuri | http://www.machint.com ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Although that doesn't seem to be the case here ;) With better tools like Jboss and glassfish available in Open source world we should encourage people to use Oracle Weblogic because sometimes best way to teach someone is to let them shoot themselves in the foot. rgds vivek -- http://www.twitter.com/vivpuri | http://www.machint.com ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Hi, Can any one suggest best open source Electronic Document Management System, which has keyword search for PDF docs, emails. There is around 200GB data stored in shared drive accessible to whole team. Its is an archive of docs, but of no use because of lack of intelligence in tagging and searching. You should seriously look at alfresco ( http://www.alfresco.com/ ) . It is quite feature rich and capable to manage document requirements of small to large team. It uses a Lucene as its text searching engine. You can evaluate its community edition , which is open source.

Re: [ilugd] How to make Amazon EC2 root partition size of 160 GB
Hi, I have a small ebs amazon ec2 instance and i want to know , is there a way i can have the root partition of full available size which is of 160 GB. currently sda1 which is of root is of size 10 Gb. and /mnt of 150 GB. In other words i want to resize to 160 GB so that other 150 GB available to /mnt is also available to '/' . Pl. advice, i have raised this ques on amazon discussion forums but of no use (no reply), also i dont want to create a new instance of size 160 GB. but to resize one. Is it possible? As others have mentioned it is not possible. I would also add that even using LVM it wont be possible ( maybe technically possible but very bad idea). You see that while 10GB is an EBS volume which is persistent by default, the 150GB is ephemeral storage that means if for some reason your instance shutdown or you restart the instance that storage will be reset too with any data on it gone forever. So any attempt trying to create a combined volume, if at all possible, can potentially result in disaster. rgds vivek ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

From what I've experienced, usually the users prefer the Blackberry services provided by the service providers such as Vodafone Airtel. This means going on airtel's website, entering your server details and the username and password and it's instantly activated. This I've personally seen working flawlessly with both Courier and Dovecot (though dovecot is better), both with self signed SSL certificates. On the contrary, the apple devices create trouble if using self signed certificates. What's more, if your users are getting trouble connecting via the service provider's blackberry interface, then you can directly call up the service provider to assist. They may need the server name, username and password to test at their end. On the other hand, if there's some internal blackberry server, then I'm not too sure about that.

It may take anything from 15 seconds (acceptable) up to an hour (definitely not acceptable) to reach his BB. From one of your previous emails related to the scenario you mentioned above, I infer that you're using Courier. Also, you are using IMAP instead of POP3 since your r...@bar.com receives mail instantly. There's an IMAP feature called IDLE which enables detection of incoming emails. So, as soon as an email comes, the client is intimated instantly - provided the client understands IMAP IDLE. However, from my experience, Courier's implementation of IMAP IDLE is not optimum. I've seen that the client is IMAP IDLE capable, and is connected but Courier doesn't intimate the client when a new email comes. Dovecot on the other hand implements it rather well. There could be a possibility that the blackberry's imap client with the service provider which is pulling mail from your server has established a connection but is not intimated by Courier that new mail has arrived. Either a flawed IMAP client or it's Courier. There's an ENHANCED IDLE mode too, but I am not sure if that'll make any difference. Moving to dovecot solved a lot of 'push' email concerns for me though.

I was referring to the Blackberry Internet Service which the service providers such as Vodafone and Airtel provide to their blackberry customers. Via the service provider's web interface you can provide your own mail server's details and the BIS would pull the email from your server, I guess using an imap client, and push it to the blackberry devices. So it acts as an intermediary and alleviate the need for setting up your own blackberry server. I've not used Blackberry ever, so can't vouch for how it actually works. But have seen it being used by others, connecting to a mail server setup by me, so the comments based on that experience.

I wasn't aware of that.

There's not even a 15 second delay. I don't think BIS would be connecting to the server every few seconds (POP3ing or IMAPing - though have not checked the log), and the only possible explanation I can think of is IMAP IDLE, unless there's something else Blackberry is doing - maybe connecting to IMAP and kind of 'refreshing' the mailbox every few seconds.

Figure that one out! Do you have data available over an extended period of time that the user's other domain receives the email instantly each and every time? That shouldn't be the case unless there's some difference between other user accounts and that user's account on the Vodafone's blackberry interface. Are all the users facing it or just that single user? If it's just that single user, or only those users which have accounts on both the domains, then a dirty thing to do would be that on Vodafone's interface try entering the server for the first account via the domain name, and for the second account enter the IP address instead of the domain name. So we've two separate servers. Just a guess though :-) In the meantime I'll see if the service provider mentions IMAP IDLE in their report. If they do, will disable it altogether if possible -- what with all the custom scripting et al, it's going to be painful to switch IMAP servers at this stage. (Which reminds me, need to upload those scripts somewhere.) As Karanbir said, IMAP IDLE may not be the issue. I just mentioned it because I saw a significant improvement using dovecot instead of courier, both on my Nokia and email clients - Thunderbird specifically. That's the only sort of 'push mail' mechanism available with dovecot and courier from what I know. Worst case scenario, will recommend setting all BB accounts to POP3 -- I presume that is possible? Or do RIM/service provider decide which protocol they will use on your behalf? Not sure if that's possible. I just checked with the guy who used to configure blackberries via the service providers web interface and he mentioned that blackberry does that automatically - you can't specify the servers. In any case, going POP3 would put a delay - it would possibly be a periodic exercise which would mean there's not going to be any more instant emails.

Which virtualization software are you using? If you're using KVM, then the best way to do it is by using a bridge. In Ubuntu/Debian you can do this # apt-get install bridge-utils Modify /etc/network/interfaces, remove the entries of eth0 or comment them, and put something like the following as per your network configuration auto br0 iface br0 inet static bridge_ports eth0 bridge_maxwait 2 address 192.168.1.154 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 Reboot preferably (or do ifup br0 - but it would require eth0 to be ifdown prior to that).

You can run dhcp server bound to br0 and your virtual machines would automatically be assigned the IP addresses which are reachable from other machines.

I got this doubt only last June when I had attended the ILUG-D meeting at JNU. During a presentation by two students on their project - neweraHPC, somebody had pointed out that the difference between a desktop-class and server-class machine is generally misunderstood by most. From what you've mentioned as your requirements, the desktop hardware that you have is more than sufficient for hosting your Drupal site. Rather than the machine, your worry should be the connectivity that you have in your environment for hosting it on public internet. If you're using a ADSL line, then it wouldn't cut it. Despite download speeds in Mbps, the maximum upload would be 768 Kbps, so your limit starts there. That's where latency would come into the picture - it'll not be because of the machine, but because of the connectivity you have. Same goes for images not loading over the internet, because you don't have bandwidth. It's not the machine, it is your connectivity. I'm sure you'd be aware that your ISP would usually tell you only the downlink speed, and not the uplink speed. Not sure what the HPC guys would've told you, but the so called bottle-necks are applicable only when fine-tuning the platform. The server hardware is more reliable than a desktop hardware - power supply, enterprise class/faster disks, ECC memory, RAID card availability, better and easier expansion, better CPU, but that doesn't mean a desktop hardware won't do the job you intend to do. It would do that wonderfully and cheaper too. It's when you are running processor memory intensive tasks, or high i/o tasks - such as VoIP, 3D modeling, heavy database querying, caching, using it as a bulk mailing server sending out millions of mails per hour, then the server hardware could be better as the disks are faster, you get better CPU choice, more scalability and more memory expansion. But still performance is not just limited to hardware. Use apache's ab from a different machine to benchmark your drupal site. You'll be surprised how much load it can take in how much time.

[...] snip Sadly, I think that Meego is going nowhere: Too little, too late. The OpenMoko community is still somewhat active though, and there is always hope that someone might revive hardware for it. I doubt OpenMoko would be coming out with a good enough handset. Their community may be active but the hardware is expensive to create and doesn't make business sense for OpenMoko to manufacture for low volumes (especially with the 3G chip). MeeGo on the other hand looks very promising - the kind of interface they're building, and especially Nokia creating a different UX which can give iphone and android users a good competition, I personally think we can look forward to it. The only downside, Nokia's interface and/or device could be proprietary and also be different from the default open source interface available. But then it's QT and also you may be able to hack it - similar to Nokia N900. That only time would tell (probably by June 2011). Also, I don't think it would ever be 'late' in the long run. Cellphone has a life-time of usually 3-5 years. Even if you preserve the handset, the battery may be hard to find, and there's a limit to which you can run on non-genuine batteries. Considering the speed at which the cellphone technology is advancing, the next phone may be much ahead than the current generation Androids and iPhones.

With more and more people using mobile phones and the population explosion, MeeGo (and others) could easily survive and compete. [...] Remember Symbian? I agree, it wasn't open source before, but Nokia had still tried hard to survive by allowing other handset manufacturer too to use Symbian on their handsets. Unfortunately, things did not turn out to be too rosy and figured the time had come to go open source, with Symbian^3. And, there was Moblin too that tried to co-exist. Cut to today, and there is no Moblin anywhere nearby, and the Symbian group has closed down. While Nokia does think that Meego is the future for their company, have you ever wondered why, despite the change in the heart of the phones, their appearances always stayed the same? Why, with every single attempt, Nokia has been forced to look back and re-strategize? Well, it's common knowledge (atleast to those who're interested in it) that Symbian though innovative in the initial years couldn't keep up the pace. It did go open source, but then the strategy of open-sourcing a failed product didn't work. Symbian did not succeed as far as high-end phones were concerned. It certainly powers a large number of devices till today for those people who don't care about the OS of the phone. They just want something that works, and that's the majority. To keep the facts straight, Symbian failed as an open source product (there are a variety of reasons for it, and they're not important), and now Nokia has taken it back. It's no longer open-source. Nokia has been changing strategies, yes, but I am not sure why that should be considered negative. Their current strategy says that Symbian^3 would continue to power the low-end and mid-range devices, and that's where the market is. MeeGo is meant for the top-end devices. It may not be fair to comment till a MeeGo device comes out in the market. Nokia is not popular in the top-end US market, but overall it sells the largest number of phones all over the world. And they make excellent and durable hardware. MeeGo is not linked with Symbian's interface in any way, and from the early look of it, it's something which could be spectacular. See N900 with Maemo - it could be considered a hobbyist's phone but it could do some real neat things when others were just thinking about them (including multi-tasking for that matter). It doesn't matter how good/bad/open a mobile operating system is, to be able to sustain yourself in this market. Of course, keeping the hardware and software open, and adhering to open standards are important. But what's also important is how you utilise your software, and how you market it. I was recently appalled to find that Samsung had modified the very find Android into a closed-source OS of theirs, Bada. And what disgusted me was their calling it open closed-source software! Anyway, my point is simple here. Building an ecosystem that can self-sustain and flourish is not tough. WHat's tough is to stays ahead in the game. And that's exactly where Nokia has been lagging behind, for the last couple of years! Yes agreed. But it has been only a couple of years, and Nokia indeed has realized it. They changed their CEO and brought in a US based guy so that they can get someone who's a non-european to give a better view of the actual market (primarily the US one). They've stopped announcing phones months ahead of their launch, they've continuously improvised their hardware and features - example, their qwerty keyboards have improved a lot and you can do a single-handed operation, the N8 has a mass-storage device connectivity in-built so you can plug-in a USB directly amongst many other things. They're bleeding at the moment due to the OS they have and its interactivity with the hardware. But I believe that's just short-term, and it'd change soon.

I'm not sure what type of attack this is, but maybe the attacker didn't get access through ssh. What you can do is, check out /tmp directory and if using php then php's tmp directory (/var/lib/php5?) and you may see some perl files which are being executed. If that's the case, then in the short term what you can do is 1. Put noexec privileges on /tmp partition. If /tmp partition is not separate, then maybe you can use dd to create 1 or 2 GB file (depending on the file) and mount it as /tmp with noexec privileges. That way even if the attacker manages to upload the file in the /tmp directory, executing it would be difficult. 2. Shutdown WHM if that's possible, till you identify and resolve the issue. What I'd suggest in the long term is 1. Regularly update your linux installation. That's critical. 2. Update your WHM or whatever control panel is there if they offer updates. If they don't offer updates then switch to a one which offers one. 3. Maybe replace WHM with ISPConfig, though I cannot vouch for the safety of any. 4. Run ssh on a different port or block access if that's possible (allow only to specific IPs via iptables). 5. Update your PHP installation if you're using any. Maybe it's one of your own applications (created by you, or some OSS application that you're using) rather than WHM which is flawed.

[ilugd] India's $35 Tablet- The Everything Killer
Hi, On July 22 a $35 (or 1500 INR) hand-held Linux computing device was unveiled by Shri Kapil Sibal, the Union Minister for Human Resource Development of India. The goal of the project is to lower the price to around $20 in time and eventually reaching the amazing price of $10. In a tablet form-factor and using an unspecified variant of Linux (that some have said might be Android), the cost should remain low while offering a wide range of functionality. The Sakshat descendant is said to be capable of supporting video conferencing, viewing a wide selection of video and image files, word processing, de/compressing files, printing with CUPS, full Internet browsing with Javascript and Flash, wireless communications, and remote device management.

BTW, is it ,by any chance, possible to set up 'repository-cache' server combined for 32 as well as 64 bit systems. apt-cacher* is for repository-cache of both 32bit and 64bit architecture. It's just a cache server, so it doesn't matter whether it's 32bit or 64bit as the client machine would request a particular package which the caching server would download (unless it's already downloaded) and serve. apt-cacher-ng uses /var/cache/apt/archives as repository, and is obviously different for 32 and 64 bit systems. I don't think it uses /var/cache/apt/archives. Instead it uses /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng for the cache. Atleast it does that on my machine. Any clue, to achieve combined repository?

Yes, apt-cacher* is just cache server.

Not sure what you mean by install it individually. You just install
apt-cacher-ng `apt-get install apt-cacher-ng` on a single machine, and
on each of the client machines you just create a file named 01proxy in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d having
Acquire::http { Proxy http://xx.xx.xx.xx:3142;; };
where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP of the machine on which apt-cacher-ng is
installed. That's all. You can also do the same on the apt-cacher-ng
machine also.
On each client machine then run `apt-get update` and you're done. It
doesn't matter it's 32bit or 64bit. Of course the firewall should be
opened on apt-cacher-ng machine for tcp port 3142.
Did you see any message mentioning 32bit and 64bit there?
Like in Windows, WSUS caches the packages for almost all Windows product
updates, doesn't matter if it's 32 or 64 bit, doesn't even matter if
updates are for XP or Vista or Win7.
So, all I'm asking if it's possible to achieve same kind of
functionality in Ubuntu too?
Yes, these caching servers do just that. Irrespective of the
architecture or even the distribution version (atleast Ubuntu/Debian
based).
Or do you want to have a complete ubuntu mirror on your machine? I don't
think that would be a good idea.
[1]http://www.ubuntugeek.com/apt-cacher-ng-http-download-proxy-for-software-packages.html
It's too complicated a setup in the link above. Also, the writer is
importing packages from /var/cache/apt/archives to prevent downloading
them again - this is just for the first time. You may not need it at all.

And, rest of the systems, to fetch those updated packages before they go online and check for new packages. From what I have understood, you don't want every machine to download from the Ubuntu repositories, but only one machine should do the task. It'll handle 32bit and 64bit without any issues. Use one of the following apt-proxy, apt-cacher, apt-cacher-ng, approx I started with apt-cacher and faced update issues in long term use, so I moved to approx and was happy with it, but newer version presented a bit difficulty in the sense that it didn't run its own daemon.

There's a minor inconvenience in this approach even if we ignore the simultaneous downloading of files part. You would still have to update the package information (apt-get update) from Ubuntu repositories on all the machines as that data isn't in /var/cache/apt/archives :-) It's 6MB+ from what I can recall (if I exclude the sources).

[ilugd] Mailing list softwares
Hi I'm looking at some easy to manage mailing list softwares. There's a user base of 1000 users and all mailing would be announcement only. Earlier I was using Mailman, but creating new lists and managing it is a hassle for non-technical users. PHPList also requires significant training. I was wondering if there are any simple to use mailing list applications, primarily for announcement only lists. I had read somewhere on ilugd of some application, but unable to trace the mail.

I had also searched a lot, but only the cheapo monitors are available in Nehru Place and no 1600x1200 is available. They refer to it as square monitors and say that they've stopped coming long time back as all prefer wide screen ones. I say, did they ever get a choice? As a last resort I went to Dell site. They gave me a quote of Rs. 21000 for a 21 1600x1200 monitor. Not sure if they still sell it. As an aside, monitors designed only to view HD movies suck big-time. Don't coders and techies use monitors anymore? Totally agree on this. I didn't know making a higher vertical resolution was more expensive (and cumbersome?) than higher horizontal resolution.
