- FreeBSD(stable): |
4 |
o read more about BSD package systems (pkg, cvsup) |
5 |
x for simple package installation/de-installation use pkg |
6 |
x install downloaded package: |
7 |
:# pkg_add {package}-{version}.tgz |
8 |
x install package via remote server(only if package is available as *latest*): |
9 |
pkg_add -r {package}.tgz |
10 |
x using cvsup |
11 |
x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html |
12 |
x newbies could use cvsupit: |
13 |
:# pkg_add -r cvsupit.tgz |
14 |
- cvsupit will proberly ask you for the default values it |
15 |
place at /etc/cvsupfile, which is used by cvsup |
16 |
- after that it will start cvsup to update your system |
17 |
x if /etc/cvsupfile already exists and you know what you do, |
18 |
this command will update your system (maybe run it via cron...): |
19 |
:# /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile |
20 |
where '-g' tells cvsup not to use a GUI, '-L 2' sets default output level to 2 |
21 |
x for available cvs tags, look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html |
22 |
o whats about daemon start-stop scripts (like at linux: /etc/init.d/) ? |
23 |
x some daemons (only installed ports?) start-stop-scripts are placed at '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/' |
24 |
o how at '/etc/rc.conf' toogled start-up scripts can be run manually(e.g. /etc/rc.firewall)? |
25 |
x configure and compile custom kernel: |
26 |
x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html |
27 |
x create custom kernel conf-file |
28 |
- cd usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ |
29 |
- copy default kenrnel GENERIC to eg MYKERNEL |
30 |
- edit/modify MYKERNEL |
31 |
x configure sources(really?) |
32 |
- run /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL |
33 |
x build kernel |
34 |
- cd ../../MYKERNEL |
35 |
- make depend |
36 |
- make |
37 |
- make install |
38 |
x use packet fiters (firewall): |
39 |
x read http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/firewalls.html |
40 |
x some options at the kernel have to be enabled: |
41 |
- options IPFIREWALL |
42 |
Compiles into the kernel the code for packet filtering. |
43 |
- options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE |
44 |
Enables code to allow logging of packets through syslogd. |
45 |
Without this option, even if you specify that packets should be logged in the filter rules, |
46 |
nothing will happen. |
47 |
- options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=10 |
48 |
Limits the number of packets logged through syslogd on a per entry basis. |
49 |
You may wish to use this option in hostile environments in which you want to log firewall activity, |
50 |
but do not want to be open to a denial of service attack via syslog flooding. |
51 |
When a chain entry reaches the packet limit specified, logging is turned off for that particular entry. |
52 |
To resume logging, you will need to reset the associated counter using the ipfw(8) utility: |
53 |
:# ipfw zero 4500 |
54 |
Where 4500 is the chain entry you wish to continue logging. |
55 |
- options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT |
56 |
This changes the default rule action from ``deny'' to ``allow''. |
57 |
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. |
58 |
It is also very useful if you often use ipfw(8) as a filter for specific problems as they arise. |
59 |
Use with care though, as this opens up the firewall and changes the way it works. |
60 |
x firewall is enabled at /etc/rc.conf (or /etc/rc.conf.local) |
61 |
firewall_enabled = "YES" |
62 |
firewall_type = "{firewall_type}" |
63 |
x where {firewall_type} is either a case at /etc/rc.firewall (/etc/rc.firewall6 for ipv6) |
64 |
or some custom file to read rules from. |
65 |
x Use firewall_type = "OPEN" for default policy 'OPEN' (allow all) |
66 |
|
67 |
|
68 |
- Linux & Wireless Lan: |
69 |
x install modules: |
70 |
x prims2 chipset based: |
71 |
- if debian kernel-image is used |
72 |
:#apt-get install linux-wlan-ng-modules-{your_arch} |
73 |
- if not, cd to some temp dir and |
74 |
:#apt-get source linux-wlan-ng or wget sources manually if other dist is used |
75 |
:#cd linux-wlan-ng-{version} |
76 |
:#./Configure |
77 |
:#make all install |
78 |
x configure at debian: |
79 |
x add SSID to dev at /etc/wlan/wlan.conf e.g.: |
80 |
SSID_wlan0="WGATEWAY" |
81 |
ENABLE_wlan0=y |
82 |
x create and edit cutom config related to SSID |
83 |
:#cp /etc/wlan/wlancfg-DEFAULT /etc/wlan/wlancfg-WGATEWAY |
84 |
:#nano /etc/wlan/wlancfg-WGATEWAY |
85 |
x notes!: |
86 |
- prism2-based USB devices mostly needs hardware reset to get changes work! |
87 |
this is caused of the firmware and could only be solved by a firmware-upgrade |
88 |
of the vendor responsible for these devices. |
89 |
o get WEP really work at heterogen enviroments(eg. between Win and Linux) |
90 |
o WEP is unsecure! (see http://wepcrack.sourceforge.net/) |
91 |
o use IPSEC |
92 |
o or some other ideas? |
93 |
|
94 |
- Linux & Bluetooth |
95 |
With some tweaking bluetooth works as expected. |
96 |
You will need the above mentioned patch patch-2.4.20-mh6 to have full functionality with 2.4.20. Then add |
97 |
|
98 |
deb http://bluez.sourceforge.net/download/debian/woody/ ./ |
99 |
deb-src http://bluez.sourceforge.net/download/debian/woody/ ./ |
100 |
|
101 |
to your /etc/apt/sources.list for woody and install at least the packages "bluez-bluefw" |
102 |
for loading the firmware into the usb bluetooth device. You will need "bluez-utils" for hci and rfcomm communications. |
103 |
You need to add this line |
104 |
|
105 |
bluefw 0x0003 0x044e 0x3001 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00000000 |
106 |
|
107 |
to your /etc/hotplug/usb/bluefw.usermap to let the bluefw automatically load the appropriate firmware |
108 |
into your dongle once it shows up. |
109 |
|
110 |
I am using bluetooth with a Siemens S55, but e.g. Nokia 6310i goeas the same way. |
111 |
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. |
112 |
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". |
113 |
Afterwards i put the rfcomm config into the /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf |
114 |
|
115 |
rfcomm0 { |
116 |
device 00:02:EE:B8:50:C5; |
117 |
channel 1; |
118 |
comment "S55 Dialup connection"; |
119 |
} |
120 |
|
121 |
rfcomm1 { |
122 |
device 00:02:EE:B8:50:C5; |
123 |
channel 9; |
124 |
comment "S55 OBEX"; |
125 |
} |
126 |
|
127 |
For dialing out via ppp you now can use /dev/rfcomm0 which should lead to your phone asking you to accept the connection. |
128 |
For debugging you can use these commands: |
129 |
|
130 |
:~$ sudo hcitool scan |
131 |

- Hardware Notes: |
165 |
x Broadcom 2033 chipset (tested with an ALLNET 7031 Class1 USB Adapter) |
166 |
- Make sure you have bluefw and hotplug installed, then everything works fine right out of the box. |
167 |
x on debian using default or for newer packages above sources: |
168 |
:#apt-get install bluez-bluefw |
169 |
- DO NOT enable the bluetooth.o module to avoid it being loaded by hotplug!! |
170 |
x this can be done by adding 'bluetooth' to '/etc/hotplug/blacklist' |
171 |
|
172 |
The Bluetooth device in this laptop is a USB Bluetooth device. |
173 |
By default, Linux provides two different device drivers for USB Bluetooth devices: bluetooth.o and hci_usb.o. |
174 |
The hci_usb.o is the correct driver for this device. Both drivers are loaded when the Bluetooth button is pushed |
175 |
but unfortunately bluetooth.o obtains the device first, not allowing hci_usb.o to use the device. |
176 |
In order for the Bluetooth device to be function, the bluetooth.o driver must not load. |
177 |
One way to stop the bluetooth.o driver from loading is to remove the driver from the system. This is accomplished by doing: |
178 |
|
179 |
:#rm /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/usb/bluetooth.o |
180 |
:#depmod -a |
181 |
|
182 |
Now, if inserting th usb device only the hci_usb.o should be loaded. |
183 |
|
184 |
|

- ACPI |
186 |
x get suspend work |
187 |
- compile kernel with 'Software Suspend Support' |
188 |
- some interesting post: |

S4 is suspend-to-disk, S3 is suspend-to-RAM. |

205 |
Last I checked, ACPI does suspend to memory or disk, using swsusp. It's |
206 |
even all integrated into the 2.5 kernels (though the CONFIG_SWSUSP option is |
207 |
buried in the kernel hacking section rather than ACPI). If you don't want to |
208 |
run an experimental kernel, then you can patch 2.4.x from the acpi.sf.net site. |

- Backup: |
213 |
x bacula (http://www.bacula.org) |
214 |
Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system administrator) to manage backup, |
215 |
recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of computers of different kinds. |
216 |
In technical terms, it is a network client/server based backup program. |
217 |
Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many advanced storage management features |
218 |
that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged files. |
219 |
Bacula source code has been released under the GPL version 2 license. |
220 |
x created debian package, cause we can't found any other |
221 |
x wrote some notes about how to build an debian binary package |
222 |
http://www.netfrag.org/~jonen/computing/docs/build_bacula_deb.html |
223 |
o create 'postinst' and 'prerm' scripts for saving configs on update, etc. |
224 |
x tested network backup with Director, Storage Daemon and File Daemon(Client) |
225 |
at different hosts, works great! |
226 |
x tested backup to FileStorage, instead of using tapes drives |
227 |
(if someone would like to sponsor some tape drive, you're more than welcome!) |
228 |
notes: |
229 |
x remember to use different 'LabelFormat' filename at each pool ! |
230 |
x use compression at 'FileSet' definition, where GZIP is equal to GZIP6, means compression-level 6 (1-9) |
231 |
example: |
232 |
# ====== snip FileSet ============ |
233 |
FileSet { |
234 |
Name = "Full Set" |
235 |
Include = signature=MD5 compression=GZIP { |
236 |
/home |
237 |
} |
238 |
Exclude = { *.o } |
239 |
} |
240 |
# ====== snip FileSet ============ |
241 |
|
242 |
|
243 |
- misc: |
244 |
x finding processes using special device(module) and kill them(example for alsa modules): |
245 |
:# lsof -t /dev/{audio,dsp,midi,mixer,music,sequencer,sndstat} | xargs kill |
246 |
