o learn howto move/maintain /etc of servers at cvs !! |
5 |
Debian: |
6 |
x search if new packages available, do 'apt-get --dry-run upgrade'! |
7 |
x build small systool script 'apt-get_remote.pl' which do a cronly 'apt-get --dry-run upgrade' and send output via mail |
8 |
o review 'apt-get_remote.pl' |
9 |
o what's about parsing some response for comand like installing some marked packages |
10 |
FreeBSD(stable): |
11 |
o read more about BSD package systems (pkg, cvsup) |
12 |
x for simple package installation/de-installation use pkg |
13 |
x install downloaded package: |
14 |
:# pkg_add {package}-{version}.tgz |
15 |
x install package via remote server(only if package is available as *latest*): |
16 |
pkg_add -r {package}.tgz |
17 |
x using cvsup |
18 |
x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html |
19 |
x newbies could use cvsupit: |
20 |
:# pkg_add -r cvsupit.tgz |
21 |
- cvsupit will proberly ask you for the default values it |
22 |
place at /etc/cvsupfile, which is used by cvsup |
23 |
- after that it will start cvsup to update your system |
24 |
x if /etc/cvsupfile already exists and you know what you do, |
25 |
this command will update your system (maybe run it via cron...): |
26 |
:# /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile |
27 |
where '-g' tells cvsup not to use a GUI, '-L 2' sets default output level to 2 |
28 |
x for available cvs tags, look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html |
29 |
o whats about daemon start-stop scripts (like at linux: /etc/init.d/) ? |
30 |
x some daemons (only installed ports?) start-stop-scripts are placed at '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/' |
31 |
o how at '/etc/rc.conf' toogled start-up scripts can be run manually(e.g. /etc/rc.firewall)? |
32 |
x configure and compile custom kernel: |
33 |
x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html |
34 |
x create custom kernel conf-file |
35 |
- cd usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ |
36 |
- copy default kenrnel GENERIC to eg MYKERNEL |
37 |
- edit/modify MYKERNEL |
38 |
x configure sources(really?) |
39 |
- run /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL |
40 |
x build kernel |
41 |
- cd ../../MYKERNEL |
42 |
- make depend |
43 |
- make |
44 |
- make install |
45 |
x use packet fiters (firewall): |
46 |
x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html |
47 |
x some options at the kernel have to be enabled: |
48 |
- options IPFIREWALL |
49 |
Compiles into the kernel the code for packet filtering. |
50 |
- options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE |
51 |
Enables code to allow logging of packets through syslogd. |
52 |
Without this option, even if you specify that packets should be logged in the filter rules, |
53 |
nothing will happen. |
54 |
- options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10 |
55 |
Limits the number of packets logged through syslogd on a per entry basis. |
56 |
You may wish to use this option in hostile environments in which you want to log firewall activity, |
57 |
but do not want to be open to a denial of service attack via syslog flooding. |
58 |
When a chain entry reaches the packet limit specified, logging is turned off for that particular entry. |
59 |
To resume logging, you will need to reset the associated counter using the ipfw(8) utility: |
60 |
:# ipfw zero 4500 |
61 |
Where 4500 is the chain entry you wish to continue logging. |
62 |
- options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT |
63 |
This changes the default rule action from ``deny'' to ``allow''. |
64 |
This avoids the possibility of locking yourself out if you happen to boot a kernel with IPFIREWALL support but have not configured your firewall yet. |
65 |
It is also very useful if you often use ipfw(8) as a filter for specific problems as they arise. |
66 |
Use with care though, as this opens up the firewall and changes the way it works. |
67 |
x firewall is enabled at /etc/rc.conf (or /etc/rc.conf.local) |
68 |
firewall_enabled = "YES" |
69 |
firewall_type = "{firewall_type}" |
70 |
x where {firewall_type} is either a case at /etc/rc.firewall (/etc/rc.firewall6 for ipv6) |
71 |
or some custom file to read rules from. |
72 |
x Use firewall_type = "OPEN" for default policy 'OPEN' (allow all) |
73 |
|
74 |
|
75 |
- Linux & Wireless Lan: |
76 |
x install modules: |
77 |
x prims2 chipset based: |
78 |
- if debian kernel-image is used |
79 |
:#apt-get install linux-wlan-ng-modules-{your_arch} |
80 |
- if not, cd to some temp dir and |
81 |
:#apt-get source linux-wlan-ng or wget sources manually if other dist is used |
82 |
:#cd linux-wlan-ng-{version} |
83 |
:#./Configure |
84 |
:#make all install |
85 |
x configure at debian: |
86 |
x add SSID to dev at /etc/wlan/wlan.conf e.g.: |
87 |
SSID_wlan0="WGATEWAY" |
88 |
ENABLE_wlan0=y |
89 |
x create and edit cutom config related to SSID |
90 |
:#cp /etc/wlan/wlancfg-DEFAULT /etc/wlan/wlancfg-WGATEWAY |
91 |
:#nano /etc/wlan/wlancfg-WGATEWAY |
92 |
x notes!: |
93 |
- prism2-based USB devices mostly needs hardware reset to get changes work! |
94 |
this is caused of the firmware and could only be solved by a firmware-upgrade |
95 |
of the vendor responsible for these devices. |
96 |
o get WEP really work at heterogen enviroments(eg. between Win and Linux) |
97 |
o WEP is unsecure! (see http://wepcrack.sourceforge.net/) |
98 |
o use IPSEC |
99 |
o or some other ideas? |
100 |
|
101 |
- Linux & Bluetooth |
102 |
|
103 |
With some tweaking bluetooth works as expected. |
104 |
You will need the above mentioned patch patch-2.4.20-mh6 to have full functionality with 2.4.20. Then add |
105 |
|
106 |
deb http://bluez.sourceforge.net/download/debian/woody/ ./ |
107 |
deb-src http://bluez.sourceforge.net/download/debian/woody/ ./ |
108 |
|
109 |
to your /etc/apt/sources.list for woody and install at least the packages "bluez-bluefw" |
110 |
for loading the firmware into the usb bluetooth device. You will need "bluez-utils" for hci and rfcomm communications. |
111 |
You need to add this line |
112 |
|
113 |
bluefw 0x0003 0x044e 0x3001 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 |
114 |
|
115 |
to your /etc/hotplug/usb/bluefw.usermap to let the bluefw automatically load the appropriate firmware |
116 |
into your dongle once it shows up. |
117 |
|
118 |
I am using bluetooth with a Siemens S55, but e.g. Nokia 6310i goeas the same way. |
119 |
For an initial pairing you will need a pin in /etc/bluetooth/pin which at least needs to have 5 digits which is documented near nowhere. |
120 |
Once you do the pairing (Entered pin on the X requester popping up and on the cellphone) you can set your phone to not "Ask on connection". |
121 |
Afterwards i put the rfcomm config into the /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf |
122 |
|
123 |
rfcomm0 { |
124 |
device 00:02:EE:B8:50:C5; |
125 |
channel 1; |
126 |
comment "S55 Dialup connection"; |
127 |
} |
128 |
|
129 |
rfcomm1 { |
130 |
device 00:02:EE:B8:50:C5; |
131 |
channel 9; |
132 |
comment "S55 OBEX"; |
133 |
} |
134 |
|
135 |
For dialing out via ppp you now can use /dev/rfcomm0 which should lead to your phone asking you to accept the connection. |
136 |
For debugging you can use these commands: |
137 |
|
138 |
:~$ sudo hcitool scan |

- Hardware Notes: |
253 |
x Broadcom 2033 chipset (tested with an ALLNET 7031 Class1 USB Adapter) |
254 |
- Make sure you have bluefw and hotplug installed, then everything works fine right out of the box. |
255 |
x on debian using default or for newer packages above sources: |
256 |
:#apt-get install bluez-bluefw |
257 |
- DO NOT enable the bluetooth.o module to avoid it being loaded by hotplug!! |
258 |
x this can be done by adding 'bluetooth' to '/etc/hotplug/blacklist' |
259 |
|
260 |
The Bluetooth device in this laptop is a USB Bluetooth device. |
261 |
By default, Linux provides two different device drivers for USB Bluetooth devices: bluetooth.o and hci_usb.o. |
262 |
The hci_usb.o is the correct driver for this device. Both drivers are loaded when the Bluetooth button is pushed |
263 |
but unfortunately bluetooth.o obtains the device first, not allowing hci_usb.o to use the device. |
264 |
In order for the Bluetooth device to be function, the bluetooth.o driver must not load. |
265 |
One way to stop the bluetooth.o driver from loading is to remove the driver from the system. This is accomplished by doing: |
266 |
|
267 |
:#rm /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/usb/bluetooth.o |
268 |
:#depmod -a |
269 |
|
270 |
Now, if inserting th usb device only the hci_usb.o should be loaded. |
271 |
|
272 |
- ACPI |
273 |
x get suspend work |
274 |
- compile kernel with 'Software Suspend Support' |
275 |
- some interesting post: |
276 |
from http://lists.debian.org/debian-laptop/2002/debian-laptop-200208/msg00349.html |

292 |
Last I checked, ACPI does suspend to memory or disk, using swsusp. It's |
293 |
even all integrated into the 2.5 kernels (though the CONFIG_SWSUSP option is |
294 |
buried in the kernel hacking section rather than ACPI). If you don't want to |
295 |
run an experimental kernel, then you can patch 2.4.x from the acpi.sf.net site. |

- Backup: |
300 |
x bacula (http://www.bacula.org) |
301 |
Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system administrator) to manage backup, |
302 |
recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. |
303 |
In technical terms, it is a network client/server based backup program. |
304 |
Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features |
305 |
that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files. |
306 |
Bacula source code has been released under the GPL version 2 license. |
307 |
x created debian package, cause we can't found any other |
308 |
x wrote some notes about how to build an debian binary package |
309 |
http://www.netfrag.org/~jonen/computing/docs/build_bacula_deb.html |
310 |
o create 'postinst' and 'prerm' scripts for saving configs on update, etc. |
311 |
x tested network backup with Director, Storage Daemon and File Daemon(Client) |
312 |
at different hosts, works great! |
313 |
x tested backup to FileStorage, instead of using tapes drives |
314 |
(if someone would like to sponsor some tape drive, you're more than welcome!) |
315 |
notes: |
316 |
x remember to use different 'LabelFormat' filename at each pool ! |
317 |
x use compression at 'FileSet' definition, where GZIP is equal to GZIP6, means compression-level 6 (1-9) |
318 |
example: |
319 |
# ====== snip FileSet ============ |
320 |
FileSet { |
321 |
Name = "Full Set" |
322 |
Include = signature=MD5 compression=GZIP { |
323 |
/home |
324 |
} |
325 |
Exclude = { *.o } |
326 |
} |
327 |
# ====== snip FileSet ============ |
328 |

329 |
|
330 |
- QoS (Quality of Services) |
331 |
o check it out ! |
332 |
|
333 |
- Apache/php: |
334 |
- apache aliases - redirect '/' to index.php (used for url catching/rewriting) |
335 |
|
336 |
- PHP: |
337 |
x search for php widget lib |
338 |
x APL (http://apl.sourceforge.net) |
339 |
- huge lib in pure C |
340 |
x phphtmllib (http://phphtmllib.newsblob.com) |
341 |
a mainly widget/render lib, written in php, complete OO-based |
342 |
and with nice DataList rendering (abstract source API) |
343 |
x integrated with flib |
344 |
x wrote some classes to browse data-objects via class DataList (new classes flibRPCDataSource, ObjectList, TsBackend) |
345 |
o rename flibRPCDataSource (maybe rework to get more abstract) |
346 |
o review ObjectList amd move it to phphhtmllib |
347 |
x semi-integraded with class FormBuilder from binarycloud via interface class FormElementsInterface |
348 |
x new class DataItem, which render one data object for viewing/editing |
349 |
x integrated new FormProcessing classes from phphtmllib (released one day after interface to binaryclouds Formbuilder was written ;) |
350 |
x refactored DataItem to use now phphtmllib form processing instead of interface to binarycload |
351 |
o review code and move to phphtmllib |
352 |
o XOOPS (http://xoops.org) |
353 |
XOOPS is a dynamic OO (Object Oriented) based open source portal script written in PHP. |
354 |
It is the ideal tool for developing small to large dynamic community websites, intra company portals, |
355 |
corporate portals, weblogs and much more. |
356 |
o binarycloud (http://binarycloud.com) |
357 |
binarycloud is an enterprise class web application platform. binarycloud shares many of the capabilities of products |
358 |
like Oracle 9i AS (Application Server) and IBM's WebSphere: |
359 |
Proper definition of a framework: "A framework supplies the infrastructure and mechanisms that execute a policy for |
360 |
interaction between abstract components with open implementations" |
361 |
- benefits: |
362 |
x much code done yet! |
363 |
- drawbacks: |
364 |
o not-really 100% clean code |
365 |
o complex app which gives you only limited possibilities to use only some classes, so not very modular |
366 |
|
367 |
|
368 |
- OpenLDAP: |
369 |
- Contacts: |
370 |
o Evolution: modify/create schema (map Attribute) so the field 'Note' and others can be used |
371 |
|
372 |
- PAM + SASL |
373 |
o seems pam will only works(will only be activated) if plain passwords are used |
374 |
o read more about PAM special in co-operate with SASL !! |
375 |
|
376 |
- Kerberos V |
377 |
x use GQ LdapBrowser with SASL to authenticate against ldap |
378 |
- this requires a 'kinit <username>' at the shell to get the kerberos ticket |
379 |
- ldap will check your ticket pricipial against its acl's ! |
380 |
o 'libpam-ldap' from Turbo is bad, don't use it !! (remember at 'apt-get upgrade' !!) |
381 |
o write this down in some (existing e.g. sendmail?) howto |
382 |
|
383 |
- Sendmail |

o research some about sendmail-cluster, 2 mx records, howto to set up second mx/cluster? |
385 |
x backup mx: |
386 |
- set up second mx at dns |
387 |
- add at backup mx place some like this at /etx/mail/mailtertable: |
388 |
domain.com esmtp:[123.123.123.123] |
389 |
where the ip points to the system the real user accounts |
390 |
and add every domain to /etc/mail/relay-domains: |
391 |
domain.com |
392 |
o whats about these *open* relaying rules(security ?!?) |
393 |
x simple load balancing: |
394 |
- set up two(or more) mx records with same priority at dns |
395 |
- add at every mx place some like this at /etx/mail/mailtertable: |
396 |
domain.com esmtp:[123.123.123.123] |
397 |
where the ip points to the system the real user accounts are |
398 |
note: this will do load balancing between eg 2 mail server, but if one fails, |
399 |
there is only a 50% chance that sent messages would arrive |
400 |
o change '/etc/init.d/amavisd' to '/etc/init.d/amavis-milter' in howto |
401 |
o migrationtools: |
402 |
o patch migrationtools for sendmail aliases support (/usr/share/migrationtools/migrate_aliases.pl) |
403 |
o create, or search web for, migrationtool for sendmail virtusertable (/usr/share/migrationtools/migrate_virtuser.pl) |
404 |
o review patched kerberosV support at /usr/share/migrationtools/migrate_user.pl? |
405 |
|

407 |
- MySQL: |
408 |
o move this to mysql-common-tasks howto |
409 |
- Create Database |
410 |
:# mysqladmin create <database> |
411 |
- Set Privileges on databases(creates user too, if not exists...): |
412 |
mysql>grant all on {database}.* to {user} identified by "{pass}"; |
413 |
mysql>grant all on {database}.* to {user}@{domain} identified by "{pass}"; |
414 |
