1
2 - Unix-Systems
3 o learn howto move/maintain /etc of servers at cvs !!
4 Debian:
5 x search if new packages available, do 'apt-get --dry-run upgrade'!
6 x build small systool script 'apt-get_remote.pl' which do a cronly 'apt-get --dry-run upgrade' and send output via mail
7 o review 'apt-get_remote.pl'
8 o what's about parsing some response for comand like installing some marked packages
9 FreeBSD(stable):
10 o read more about BSD package systems (pkg, cvsup)
11 x for simple package installation/de-installation use pkg
12 x install downloaded package:
13 :# pkg_add <package>-<version>.tgz
14 x install package via remote server(only if package is available as *latest*):
15 pkg_add -r <package>.tgz
16 x using cvsup
17 x newbies could use cvsupit (not what it really does..)
18 :# pkg_add -r cvsupit.tgz
19 - cvsupit will proberly ask you for the default values it
20 place at /etc/cvsupfile, which is used by cvsup
21 - after that it will start cvsup to update your system
22 x if /etc/cvsupfile already exists and you know what you do,
23 this command will update your system (maybe run it via cron...):
24 :# /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile
25 o whats about daemon start-stop scripts (like at linux: /etc/init.d/) ?
26 x configure and compile custom kernel:
27 x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html
28 x create custom kernel conf-file
29 - cd usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
30 - copy default kenrnel GENERIC to eg MYKERNEL
31 - edit/modify MYKERNEL
32 x configure sources(really?)
33 - run /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL
34 x build kernel
35 - cd ../../MYKERNEL
36 - make depend
37 - make
38 - make install
39 x use packet fiters (firewall):
40 x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html
41 x some options at the kernel have to be enabled:
42 options IPFIREWALL #Compiles into the kernel the code for packet filtering.
43 options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #Enables code to allow logging of packets through syslogd.
44 # Without this option, even if you specify that packets should be logged in the filter rules,
45 # nothing will happen.
46 options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10 #Limits the number of packets logged through syslogd on a per entry basis.
47 # You may wish to use this option in hostile environments in which you want to log firewall activity,
48 # but do not want to be open to a denial of service attack via syslog flooding.
49 # When a chain entry reaches the packet limit specified, logging is turned off for that particular entry.
50 # To resume logging, you will need to reset the associated counter using the ipfw(8) utility:
51 # ipfw zero 4500
52 # Where 4500 is the chain entry you wish to continue logging.
53 options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT #This changes the default rule action from ``deny'' to ``allow''.
54 # 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.
55 # It is also very useful if you often use ipfw(8) as a filter for specific problems as they arise.
56 # Use with care though, as this opens up the firewall and changes the way it works.
57 x firewall is enabled at /etc/rc.conf (or /etc/rc.conf.local)
58 firewall_enabled = "YES"
59 firewall_type = "<firewall_type>"
60 x <firewall_type> is either a case at /etc/rc.firewall (/etc/rc.firewall6 for ipv6)
61 or some custom file to read rules from.
62 x Use firewall_type = "OPEN" for default policy 'OPEN' (allow all)
63
64
65
66 - QoS (Quality of Services)
67 o check it out !
68
69 - Apache/php:
70 - apache aliases - redirect '/' to index.php (used for url catching/rewriting)
71
72 - PHP:
73 x search for php widget lib
74 x APL (http://apl.sourceforge.net)
75 - huge lib in pure C
76 x phphtmllib (http://phphtmllib.newsblob.com)
77 a mainly widget/render lib, written in php, complete OO-based
78 and with nice DataList rendering (abstract source API)
79 x integrated with flib
80 x wrote some classes to browse data-objects via class DataList (new classes flibRPCDataSource, ObjectList, TsBackend)
81 o rename flibRPCDataSource (maybe rework to get more abstract)
82 o review ObjectList amd move it to phphhtmllib
83 x semi-integraded with class FormBuilder from binarycloud via interface class FormElementsInterface
84 x new class DataItem, which render one data object for viewing/editing
85 x integrated new FormProcessing classes from phphtmllib (released one day after interface to binaryclouds Formbuilder was written ;)
86 x refactored DataItem to use now phphtmllib form processing instead of interface to binarycload
87 o review code and move to phphtmllib
88
89 o XOOPS (http://xoops.org)
90 XOOPS is a dynamic OO (Object Oriented) based open source portal script written in PHP.
91 It is the ideal tool for developing small to large dynamic community websites, intra company portals,
92 corporate portals, weblogs and much more.
93 o binarycloud (http://binarycloud.com)
94 binarycloud is an enterprise class web application platform. binarycloud shares many of the capabilities of products
95 like Oracle 9i AS (Application Server) and IBM's WebSphere:
96 Proper definition of a framework: "A framework supplies the infrastructure and mechanisms that execute a policy for
97 interaction between abstract components with open implementations"
98 - benefits:
99 x much code done yet!
100 - drawbacks:
101 o not-really 100% clean code
102 o complex app which gives you only limited possibilities to use only some classes, so not very modular
103
104
105 - OpenLDAP:
106 - Contacts:
107 o Evolution: modify/create schema (map Attribute) so the field 'Note' and others can be used
108
109 - PAM + SASL
110 o seems pam will only works(will only be activated) if plain passwords are used
111 o read more about PAM special in co-operate with SASL !!
112
113 - Kerberos V
114 x use GQ LdapBrowser with SASL to authenticate against ldap
115 - this requires a 'kinit <username>' at the shell to get the kerberos ticket
116 - ldap will check your ticket pricipial against its acl's !
117 o 'libpam-ldap' from Turbo is bad, don't use it !! (remember at 'apt-get upgrade' !!)
118 o write this down in some (existing e.g. sendmail?) howto
119
120 - Sendmail
121 o research some about sendmail-cluster, 2 mx records, howto to set up second mx/cluster?
122 x backup mx:
123 - set up second mx at dns
124 - add at backup mx place some like this at /etx/mail/mailtertable:
125 domain.com esmtp:[123.123.123.123]
126 where the ip points to the system the real user accounts
127 and add every domain to /etc/mail/relay-domains:
128 domain.com
129 o whats about these *open* relaying rules(security ?!?)
130 x simple load balancing:
131 - set up two(or more) mx records with same priority at dns
132 - add at every mx place some like this at /etx/mail/mailtertable:
133 domain.com esmtp:[123.123.123.123]
134 where the ip points to the system the real user accounts are
135 note: this will do load balancing between eg 2 mail server, but if one fails,
136 there is only a 50% chance that sent messages would arrive
137 o change '/etc/init.d/amavisd' to '/etc/init.d/amavis-milter' in howto
138 o migrationtools:
139 o patch migrationtools for sendmail aliases support (/usr/share/migrationtools/migrate_aliases.pl)
140 o create, or search web for, migrationtool for sendmail virtusertable (/usr/share/migrationtools/migrate_virtuser.pl)
141 o review patched kerberosV support at /usr/share/migrationtools/migrate_user.pl?
142
143
144
145
146 - MySQL:
147 o move this to mysql-common-tasks howto
148 - Create Database
149 :# mysqladmin create <database>
150 - Set Privileges on databases(creates user too, if not exists...):
151 mysql>grant all on <database>.* to <user> identified by "<pass>";
152 mysql>grant all on <database>.* to <user>@<domain> identified by "<pass>";
153
154
155 - Document saving:
156 o remember *.doc is a non-standard, bloated Mircosoft format, use HTML instead !!
157 see http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html
158
159 - my documents:
160 o convert all howto's to SDF format ( look at 'nfo/doc/computing/sysadmin/linux/example_sdf_howto.sdf' )
161 o learn more about Lyx/LaTex
162 o convert all howto's to LaTex format ( look at 'nfo/doc/computing/sysadmin/linux/example_latex_howto.lyx' )
163
164
165
166
167 future:
168 o build 'black box' to trace for 'spys' at a isdn/internet connection ;)
