Subject: [LUNI] Contracting out
Message-ID: <917562.89091.qm@web51608.mail.re2.yahoo.com>
I have the opportunity of doing some consulting (computer related - let's leave it at that for now). I need someone to help me with that.
On top of that I have tons of little projects that I work privately on and that I need help with. One of those projects, for instance, involves doing some patent related search.
There is some Linux work, including some Perl and PHP code to write, etc. etc.
I am currently writing a summary of all those projects.
Yes - I will pay for the work, of course! I am willing to pay a reasonable amount of money (and I also do not know at this point in time what that really means - something else I need to figure out). I am a senior IT person and so I know like everywhere else: you get what you pay for.
Any suggestions of how to go about that?
I would like to have this done locally for the simple reason that I want to meet the person that will do my work, not just initially but also on an ongoing basis. I think breakfasts are the best form of project meetings .... Lunches and dinners quality too. I live in the Schaumburg area, as an FYI.
Thank you for your help.

Message-ID: <47321AF9.2050800@hostedlabs.com>
Hi Everyone!
So its been a while since BARcamp Chicago 2007 and wanted to update
everyone on a bunch of stuff..
OK, so first, Keith Schacht of ChicagoBeta/JobCoin/Facebook App fame
had set up a free public job board for ChicagoBeta and BARcamp Chicago
communities. There have been a few postings there (including a few from
my company ;-) ) and wanted to let everyone know that its free to all
and available. Check it out, post your jobs, etc.:
http://barcampbeta.jobcoin.com/
Next up, we have some very cool events coming up this month. These
are great places to meet other start-ups, smart people and, do as I do,
get drunk off of free booze.. ;-)
Thu Nov 8th 8:00am - Early Stage Marketplace:
http://www.chicagolandchamber.org/sub/event_calendar_detail.asp?EVE_ID=930
Thu Nov 8th 5pm - Songza Launch Party (Aza and Humanized gang presented
at BARcamp):
http://www.songza.com/
Tue Nov 13th 6:15pm - MIT-EF Breakthrough Computer Interfaces (Aza
again.. man he gets around ;-) ):
http://www.mitefchicago.org/dojo/18/v.jsp?p=/home
Thu Nov 15th 6:30pm - The great TECHcocktail 6! (bet you Aza will be there):
http://www.techcocktail.com/blog/
Also, thanks to Henry Lee of Transwestern, we may have a very good
venue for BARcamp next year. Connect with me or the BARcamp organizer
list at LUNI to get involved!
Lastly, I wanted to get feedback from all of you on something a lot
of people asked for in the past. Should we have 2 BARcamps a year,
spring and fall, rather than 1 in the summer?
Email me back with a vote or thoughts. How many BARcamps per year? 1 or 2?
Looking forward to seeing you all soon and hope this years been great
for everyone!

If you look carefully, you'll see the word "fictional" there.
Did you know that in RUR, the Robots kill all the humans? And yet
people use these dangerous "robots" to build cars every day!

Alright, what is frightening, that it is delayed, that
it exists, or that the linked article seemed to have
no Linux/Open Source related content?
Just curious. ;-)

I don't think we need to worry. If anything happens, we just need to call

Well, in the Terminator, Arnold came back from the future. A future
where Skynet became sentient and destroyed the human race. The
frightening part is, what if this is THAT Skynet?
Just stupid free-association on a boring Friday, scanning the RSS feeds.

there's vbulletin, but I don't know if you can post to it from email.

I have an old 'Hat 7.3 server that reports the status of various
cronjobs by sending me email (I alias the root account to my main email
account). The problem is that I am having trouble getting email through
due to spam filtering.
I was wondering if it would help if I use my ISPs email server
(smtp.mail.wowway.com) as an MX relay.
I would even be willing to change the from address to be my WOW mailbox.
The trouble is I don't know enough about the sendmail setup to do this
with comfort.
Can somebody point me to the strings I need to set in the sendmail
config file.

I'm not aware of vBulletin having this type of functionality. At least not by
default. There may be a mod that does this, but it's not something I've
looked for before.

Mike,
I would imagine your ISP requires SMTP AUTH or POP3 login before allowing
you to send mail? But you can try this if you want:
1. Install (or verify that it's installed) sendmail-cf
apt-get install sendmail-cf
or
yum install sendmail-cf
assuming you have apt-get or yum setup.
2. Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:
dnl # Uncomment and edit the following line if your outgoing mail needs to
dnl # be sent out through an external mail server:
dnl #
dnl define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.your.provider')
Remove dnl (delete to newline) from the define and add your SMTP server.
3. make -C /etc/mail
4. service sendmail restart
Do you know exactly what is triggering the spam mark? I am going to guess
that a) above is not going to work w/out SMTP AUTH of some sort and b) if
it does it's not going to help because the mail is getting marked as spam
for a different reason (like IP doesn't resolve?)
You can also try setting MAILTO="your@email.address" in the crontab,
perhaps the spam check doesn't like that To: is root@random.host vs your
actual email address?

Mike,
One more thing, you can install postfix for RHL 7.3 from
http://freshrpms.net if that makes things easier and you don't have a
complex existing sendmail setup.

I'd also suggest simply upgrading. RHL 7.3 is bound to have a ridiculous
list of vulnerabilities by now. ditto on the postfix. I never really tried
to get sendmail to working, but from everything I've heard it's a sadistic
exercise anyways.

I'm not sure more you'll get out of have a forum + a mailing list that's not
already achieved by mailman + archives.
anytime I've seen orgs have a mailing list + a forum one gets used and the
ohter ignored. I also thing it'll be difficult to combine the two, nor have
I seen anything that does it with any degree of success.
Think about it, you post an email on Linux->Server Issues->help me fix
sendmail
what most forums will do is send you an email notification that someone
replied to your thread (which means, i have to delete an email and click on
a link to get the same email I would have just had to click read. ... or it
emails you the content of the post, in which case it's just a mailing list.
)
I don't know.. up to you guys, but I think you may end up spending way too
much time/effort into something that's not worth the benefit.
just my 2 cents though.

You can post to it via e-mail via some scripts. We doing that on
forum.rets.org, but its flakey. E-mail is definately a second class
citizen in vbull. McKeever can comment on it better as he's been
fighting with it.
Google groups seems to do it well. Something that had that
funtionality wouldn't ne bad. Both the browser and e-mail are on
equal footing.

I want to be able to offer people the interface to the _same_ content that
they prefer, so if you prefer mailing list you should see no change in how
you interact, i.e. post to a mailing list, get mail, reply, etc.
If someone prefers the web forum, they should be able to do the same thing
with the web forum and not have to care about the mail client.
Unless I am missing something (and I generally don't use web forums,
so perhaps I am) both can present the same information with different
interface.

Agreed. I am building a new server (probably Ubuntu Server LTS).
Also, this server is not exposed to the 'net and is only accessed via
SSL through a VPN appliance.
I'll look at postfix when I get home. Thanks.

I'm not sure that would help as sending a test email from the command
prompt:
echo test|mail mscott@wowway.com
Also fails. I think is may be the from address doesn't jive with the IP
address in reverse DNS lookups.
I know DynDNS offers a pay service MX relay to resolve these issues, but
I thought that if I could make the sender's domain match my ISPs then it
would satisfy it.

You have to put your authentication into the sendmail.cf stuff.
I used http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Sendmail-Address-Rewrite.html, i think (it
was a long time ago). To make all my casey@wizkid.homelinux.net stuff
think it came from Comcast (now i do it for AT&T).

It's a nice deal, but does anyone else think it's a bit odd that this
system doesn't come with a CPU Fan?

Tiger Direct seems to be selling all their barebone deals without CPU
fan. At least now they are highlighting it.

Yeah but doesn't the CPU COME with the Fan in it's OEM packaging? I
never heard of getting a CPU without the heatsink and fan included.

That's normal, IME, for OEM CPUs. The heatsink and fan are, after all,
what's added in the retail box.

Not even Microsoft tried to charge for this.
Darl is probably using this to trap people who haven't paid for the OS.
With SCOX at about a quarter a share, they are probably looking in the

I have for sale the following items:
QTY=1 Dell PowerEdge 2550 1 GHz server with 256 MB of memory
- cotnains QTY=2 18GB internal SCA Ultra-160 SCSI drives
QTY=1 Dell PowerVault 220S disk array
- contains QTY=10 18GB SCA Ultra-160 SCSI drives
Come with LVD-SCSI cables and 3 power cords. No operating system.
This is a combo deal -- everything listed is what's being offered. I'm look at wanting to get rid of this device for $150 OBO. It's collecting dust in my data center at home. There is nothing wrong with this server. I am standardizing on COMPAQ/HP as my platform of choice. Easier and cheaper for me when ordering parts, too.
Local pickup ONLY in Western suburbs of Greater Chicagoland area.
Any takers, please send email to "rsradvan@unixworks.net".
Thanks!

Some of you have overwhelmingly responded back to me regarding the server w/ disk array.
To answer everyone's question, yes, the server is functioning. There are TWO (2) 256 MB ECC SDRAM sticks in the unit, but only ONE works. I do NOT have replacement RAM, so the unit is being sold with 256 MB of RAM. Sorry. :(
I am attaching TWO (2) photos of the server being offered for sale. One shows the memory, unit's tag identifier, and how much memory it recognizes. On the front, there are TWO (2) 18 GB hard disk drives for the server, with TWO (2) slots open or available. I *DO* have the trays for the drives in the slots, rather than filler plates.
Aside for the minor issue with the memory, EVERYTHING works.
One thing asked that I forgot to mention was the rail kits. Yes, there are rail kits for BOTH the server *AND* the disk array.
The disk array ALSO works, but will need to be reconfigured. The drives and its configuration were "lobotomized" before leaving their location.
To answer the last question, yes, this unit will run Linux. I had tested Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3 on it. No problem. I have NOT tested any newer releases of Linux.
Photos are now attached.

Subject: [LUNI] Mounting NFS drive as User
Message-ID:
Hi Luni,
I've been trying find an answer for this on google and in the
available nfs documentation, but am coming up empty so far. I'm
trying to share a drive from my intel-built raid nas
(http://www.intel.com/design/servers/storage/ss4000-E/index.htm) on my
local network using both NFS (for my htpc and workstation running
debian) and CIFS (for my wife's laptop running WinXP).
So far I've gotten CIFS to work on the winxp machine, and NFS to work
for root users on the linux boxes, but I'm having trouble getting
regular users access to the drive on the linux boxes. Here is the
appropriate entry in my fstab file:
192.168.1.15:/nas/NASDisk-00002/pool /mnt/intelbox nfs
user,rw,rsize=4096,wsize=4096,hard,intr,async,nodev,nosuid 0 0
Again, the drive mounts under NFS, but only the root user can access it.
I've already tried chmodding the drive once mounted to allow for
regular user access, but this screws up the permissions on the WinXP
side... Any ideas?
Thanks,
--

I've run Redhat 8, 9, and AS 4 on those as well as Fedora 5 (maybe 6
too) and lots of Gentoo. If you have an issue loading Linux on that box,
it's probably user error. :-)
IIRC you can probably find the custom dimm on Ebay to activate the
onboard RAID for pretty cheap ... at least it was cheap three years ago.

This is actually exactly how NFS is supposed to work -- it expects that the
passwd file ( and therefore the uid's of the users & groups ) are shared
across the nodes of the network that will be sharing the storage. The common
way to set this up is to use NIS. Then, what happens is that the permissions
( users, groups, etc ) work the same on all the systems using the shared
storage.
There are options to mess with the uid's a bit -- check out the exports man
page under "User ID Mapping". You'll need to update things on the NFS server
where you're exporting the filesystem, not so much on the client where
you're mounting the exported FS.
Good luck!

Hi guys,
I'm looking for biometric support under linux. Ideally I'm looking for a
biometric mouse or something that's small and portable like a usb thumbdrive
(size wise) that has a fingerprint reader. I was looking these sites:
http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Main_Page
http://code.google.com/p/bioapi-linux/
I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with bio mice under linux
and if anyone knew of any specific models that were known to work under
Linux.

I tried chmodding the drive before mounting today, but still couldn't
get it to work. Once I mount the drive, the permissions on the drive
revert to rwx for only the root and it's group:
drwxrwx--- 3 root
Did you also have the drive mounted via CIFS at the same time?

The permissions of the mount point don't matter. Its the permissions of
what you're mounting (on the server) that matter.

Nope, I just use NFS.
192.168.254.22:/nas/NASDisk-00002/public /mnt/maki nfs
auto,defaults,user 0 0
Both my systems have these settings;
drwxrwxrwx 7 root 11578 when mounted even when not mounted by root, and
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root, unmounted
But the more I think about it, I may have done a chmod a+rwx on it after it
was mounted, the 1 time I used a MS box it did not let me create a file. But
it's been awhile.

Subject: [LUNI] Logical Volume resize issue
Message-ID: <189913.55471.qm@web30513.mail.mud.yahoo.com>
Hello Linux gurus,
FYI: Have an HP EVA8000 SAN System and a blade server running Redhat Linux Enterprise Server Edition(Kernel 2.6.9-42.ELsmp). Installed the HP Fibre Utilities and am using LVM2.
My issue is that when I expand the partition size on the SAN System from Let's just say 300Gigs to 500Gigs(works okay on the SAN) but on the Linux Server the following happens:
pvresize
--setphysicalvolumesize 200G /dev/sda(This part works okay)
vgchange
?a n vol1(works fine)
lvextend
?L+200G /dev/vol1/testlv1 /dev/sda(this also works fine)
vgchange ?a y vol1(works fine)
resize2fs
?p ?f /dev/vol1/testlv1
On the last step(step 5) I get the following error messages:
resize2fs -p -f /dev/vol1/testlv1
resize2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
resize2fs: Invalid argument while trying to open /dev/vol1/testlv1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
Any ideas how to go around this issue?
Thanks in advance to whoever advices.

I don't believe this is what you wanted. The man page says that option
causes the value given to be taken as the new pv size, whereas you wish
to *increase* the size by 200G, no? I'm not sure about the fact that
you got no error; that seems to indicate that either you weren't using
the lost 100G or... something. I'm not sure this jibes with the list
of things that seemed to work, but it's all that comes to mind this
morning.
Luck!

This looks the same as before. If you've been running resize2fs with
the force flag without restoring, there may not *be* a consistent
filesystem there. Does e2fsck give the filesystem passing marks?

It is close to many bus lines (Kimball, Milwaukee, Diversey) and directly
across the street from the Logan Square El stop. On-street parking is
available; inexpensive parking is available in the city lot across the
street from El Cid on Kedzie.
El Cid is smoke-free, has (cheap) beer and wine, and tasty Mexican food.

Subject: [LUNI] Wireless & wired router recommendations?
Message-ID: <474EDCE7.3050600@fnal.gov>
Hi,
My setup at home has some connections using wireless and some wired.
One the wired side: NAS (Netgear/Infrant); HP Ethernet printer; Linux
desktop. On the wireless side: Windows laptop; Tivo; occasionally a
laptop from work. Over the past 3+ years I have tried in succession two
D-Link wireless routers (with four wired ports), models DI-624 and
DI-524. Initially they both worked great and were easy to configure over
time via a web interface (making it very Linux friendly). However after
many months to a year, they each started exhibiting problems on power
cycle. The initial symptom presented is that no network connections work
and all the activity lights are stuck on. Unplugging all connections and
power cycling (waiting at least 30 seconds each time) eventually works,
but sometimes it would take half a dozen or more tries. This got worse
over time as the probability of success (and number of repeated cycles)
would increase as the month went by. Invoking reset from the web
interface would also cause the same symptoms as power cycling only you
could only do that once. That is the common symptom between both models.
They each also had a more annoying failure symptom which differed from
the others. The first one would randomly lose it's lease with the cable
modem and only power cycling all the equipment multiple times would
eventually resolve the issue (I was able to rule out the cable modem
after a lot of trial and error). For a while this happened about once a
week and I thought it was the cable company up to no good, but when it
started happening every 12 hours or less I replaced the router and the
problem went away.
The second router seems to have developed a more subtle problem. The
HP printer uses a 169.* private network address, while the router gives
out DHCP addresses in 192.* range. Until last weekend everything was
fine and both wireless and wired addresses could ping the printer and
print files. The wired connections can still ping the printer and have
no problems printing files, however the wireless connections cannot even
see the printer. At first I thought this was a Windows firewall issue
and I spent a long time trying to figure out what McAfee might have
done. However it now appears the problem might be that wireless
connections in general cannot see the 169.* addresses but the wireless
ones can.
So now I am in the market for a new router that will have at least 4
wired ports, does wireless with DHCP, and is easily configurable from
Linux. Needless to say I am not thrilled with D-Link at the moment, but
I do not have enough experience to know if the failure rate is typical
of home grade routers. Does anyone have any recommendations for the next
router I should try? I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.

Jerry,
I have been a long time user of linksys wireless routers and my
current router is a linksys wrt45gl. They are easily configurable
from a web interface so you can configure them from windows, linux or
mac. Another nice perk with the wrt54gl is that if you wanted to you
can run openWRT on it and be running linux on your router.

Assuming you have the 169.* printer on one of the wired connections,
it's not clear to me how this *ever* worked unless your old router
explictly supported Microsoft's horrible auto-configuration kludge.
Since your hosts are on the 192.* subnet, presumably properly
configured via DHCP, they will most likely direct packets in the 169.*
range to the default route. Unless you have a route manually
configured for the printer, the router *should* direct the packet to
the default route *it* was given by the cable modem. It most likely
knows nothing about a 169 network. Does the new router support
manually configured routes or a second wired local subnet? If not,
I'd reconfigure the printer.
If you want to avoid the problem of lack of support and bug fixes as
your router ages and your network evolves, I suggest buying a router
that's capable of running one of the open source firmwares. There are
several good Buffalo and Linksys choices. Pay attention to the
specific revision numbers supported and the amount of flash and RAM
memory when you shop.

I am not sure why it worked either, all I can say is it basically just
worked without doing anything special on my part. Initially I bought the
router and hooked the desktop up on a wired port with a static address
(192 range) and then had Comcast come out and install the cable modem (I
did not show them the router). That worked fine. A few months later I
bought the printer and hooked that up to another wired port. It wanted
to be in 169 and apart from puzzling through cups configuration and
installing a few HP files it worked without doing any route specific
changes. About a year later I had to by the laptop (with Windows) so my
daughter could do school work. I plugged that in, installed the HP
software which saw the printer on the network and it just worked. I did
not have to do anything special with the router or the Windows
configuration. I need a new router to solve the annoying power cycle
issues anyway, I guess I will find out then if getting printing working
from Windows has some nasty surprises. I am not sure the HP printer will
let me change it's IP setting (I will have to refer to the manual). Thanks.

not to hijack this thread, 'but' does anyone have recommendations on a

currently Linksys dies. i've been happy with Linksys so far, are they
worth sticking with for GB?

Has anyone successfully installed Centos 3 on a computer with a Sata
hard drive? The motherboard that I am trying to us is an ASUS M2A-VM.
My thought was that I could use a SATA drive to IDE adapter converter
and install and see if the newer kernel would pick up the device but am
not sure if this would work. Anyone ever try something like this?

Been using a Linksys WRT54GL purchased from New Egg running ddWRT for
about a year and a half with no problems. I don't use the router or
DHCP functions, however I just use it as a 5-port switch / WAP combo.

Any particular reason for not going with CentOS 5? It might have the

I have a few workstations with RHEL3 on SATA drives.
I don't know about support for that particular motherboard.
Like Arun suggested, you're more likely to have success with a more
modern version.

Thanks for the responses everyone. The reason that I want to stick with
centos3 is that I have some dependencies on python2.2, postgres7, and
php4. The system is currently running on ES3 update 8 and I just want
to get the system running on more modern/faster hardware.
In any event we decided to use and IDE hard drive and install onto that.
I might try add in a SATA drive later and see if that is supported. If
it is I will just dd the IDE drive to the SATA drive and see if I can
boot from that.
Thanks

A friend of mine likes to call this "not paying the software tax."
Sometimes you have to just take the time and fix your stuff to work
with current versions, before you find yourself trapped in a disaster.

use dump/restore to copy between unix filesystems, not dd.
(or tar/cpio if you use some bizarre filesystem that doesn't have a
working dump/restore).
