We are unable to add a 2nd T1 card to the PBX, so we used a CO card and connected it to the FXO ports on the Digium card. > My advice would be to get digital trunks (BRI's or PRI's), and if you need > FXS ports (for fax machines, door phones, etc), get a channel bank to > split a T1 into multiple analog lines.

We tried it (using the latest version of asterisk compiled from source), but to be honest, hit a wall when Asterisk would core dump every time a fax came in. Since we were under a bit of time pressure (to put it mildly), we went the "easy route" and just got a couple of analog lines from Qwest. This is something we definitely want to investigate in the near future, though, since it would save us a bit of cash, and add some nice functionality to the system.

Good to know. They must keep a lot of processing in the card itself, rather than sending it to the CPU, right?

Actually, in that case, a PRI would be the route to go.. BRI's are old-fashioned ISDN with 2 channels plus signalling; PRI's can have up to 23 channels (plus one signalling channel.) > We tried it (using the latest version of asterisk compiled from source), > but to be honest, hit a wall when Asterisk would core dump every time a > fax came in.

Correct - Digium gives you the prices they do by doing a lot of the processing on the host CPU; Sangoma does the processing on the card (and costs more), but also lets you do more on one box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | nate carlson | natecars at natecarlson.com | http://www.natecarlson.com | | depriving some poor village of its idiot since 1981 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From thurianknight at gmail.com Thu Mar 1 10:46:36 2007 From: thurianknight at gmail.com (Dave Sherman) Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2007 10:46:36 -0600 Subject: [tclug-list] Asterisk: cost of hardware?

Depending on how busy their phones are, they could "oversubscribe" 8 phones to a 2-channel BRI line, or even get 2 BRI's and have 4 channels available. Now depending on what they do for Internet access, an integrated T1 could be an ideal solution. Use 6 or 8 channels for voice, and have the rest for data.

We don't need much bandwidth for what we do and it seems to work OK, but I do wish we had bigger pipe for ISO downloads and such.

Once you've built your bootstrap directory, chroot into it. Then do an "apt-key update". That should get you going. Run "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade", and finally "apt-get clean".

Any suggestions? - Joey -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

While I agree that sftp is a better choice, mainly because it plays nicer with NAT and doesn't throw plain-text passwords around, there are situations where FTP is still needed....so I'll actually answer your question. FTP runs over two ports, a command port and a data port. So far all you've been dealing with is the command port, which is why clients can connect but not actually do anything. To make things worse, passive FTP, which is the default for almost every client out there these days, has one more nasty trick up it's sleeve. In passive FTP the client connects in on a random high port for data that is agreed upon between the client and server over the command channel....unfortunately, unless you are running something like connectrac w/ iptables or punch_fw for ipfw the NAT implimentation has no way of knowing which port to expect this connection on. So you end up with a situation like this... client connects to server on command port which is punched through the NAT and says, I'd like to do a ls. Server replies back, ok, let's do that over port, uhmmm, well, let's use 10584. Client says ok, and tries to connect in....at that point your router sees a brand new connection coming in to port 10584 and has no clue what to do with it, so it gets dropped. The solution is to limit the range of data ports your FTPd can use (by default they use 1024 - 65535) and forward those through the router as well....most decent FTPd's have some sort of PassiveMaxPort and PassiveMinPort directive in them. You'll also need to tell it to use your WAN IP for passive connections....the name for this setting varies. Your other option is to run a NAT implimentation that can do connectrac or punch_fw. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel From jus at krytosvirus.com Sat Mar 3 14:09:09 2007 From: jus at krytosvirus.com (Justin Krejci) Date: Sat, 3 Mar 2007 14:09:09 -0600 Subject: [tclug-list] Fwd: IPCop, FTP server In-Reply-To: <200703031117.59906.josh@tcbug.org> References: <101e49ea0703020747j29c66bddqc599a140ed26c9e@mail.gmail.com> <45E86825.3030305@druswanderings.net> <200703031117.59906.josh@tcbug.org> Message-ID: <200703031409.10318.jus@krytosvirus.com> This is very nice and gives great visual representations of FTP communications in passive and active modes. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html On Saturday 03 March 2007 11:17, Josh Paetzel wrote: > On Friday 02 March 2007 12:08, The Wandering Dru wrote: > > Andrew Zbikowski wrote: > > > I always use the command line on > > > Linux, but there has to be a GUI client somewhere. > > > > Both Konqueror and Nautilus have the ability to connect to remote > > ssh.

My nfsroot (that was used for performing the install) had root squash on like normal, but the keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg) was root owned with restrictive permissions, so the client could not read it.

I don't know which is better for which purposes and why. There is an pay version of RealVNC that adds a few bells and whistles (like encryption) to the GPL version.

If you want it to act like a Terminal Server, and create new sessions for users as they connect (and hopefully go away when they log out), the inetd option is a reasonably simple way to do it.

Are you saying that with inetd you can automate the ssh tunneling part of the login process? That would be very cool. Getting the tunneling set up is always an annoyance. > If you want it to act like a Terminal Server, and create new sessions > for users as they connect (and hopefully go away when they log out), the > inetd option is a reasonably simple way to do it. I get that now. So terminal server isn't persistent -- the session dies when you log out. For those unfamiliar with VNC: One of the coolest things about it is that you can maintain a session, the state of which is stored on the server. If your connection is killed or you just want to go work from a different machine (e.g., at home, at the office, in the library, in a different city), you can just connect again and you will see that everything is exactly where you left it, your cursor blinking in the same place in the same window, etc. Mike From mbditt at plauditdesign.com Mon Mar 5 14:16:47 2007 From: mbditt at plauditdesign.com (Matt Dittbenner) Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2007 14:16:47 -0600 Subject: [tclug-list] Asterisk: Hardware recommendations. Message-ID: <45EC7AAF.1090304@plauditdesign.com> I've been watching the recent thread regarding Asterisk hardware. A small company I work for is looking to implement an Asterisk server to allow us to work off-site, yet still be reachable.

I am looking for some hardware recommendations, and possibly common pitfalls we might encounter attempting this setup. The machine will not likely be dedicated to Asterisk.

There's a write-up at the Free Software -Europe site: http://www.fsfeurope.org/projects/education/tgs/tagatschool8.en.html Notes on Skolelinux I stole from a different site: Description: Skolelinux is the Debian-edu project's Custom Debian Distribution (CDD) in development. It is aiming to provide an out-of-the-box localised environment tailored for schools and universities. The out-of-the-box environment comes with 75 applications aimed at schools, as well as 15 network services pre-configured for a school environment. The simple, three-question installation requires minimal technical knowledge. Skolelinux is Debian, which means, among other things, that there are no license costs or worries, and that upgrade and maintenance of the software can be done over the Internet with the power of Debian's apt-get. The core goals of Skolelinux are localisation and ease of system administration. Not technical enough? Check out the FreeNX -> Nomachine project. Looks way cool. This is pretty exciting stuff .

Certainly, many things have happened since then that could be talked about so I was wondering why there hasn't been a meeting recently.

Is finding a place to host the meeting, lack of presenters or even lack of interest in general the reason for meetings not being organized? Anyway, hope to see everyone at a meeting soon.

Seems like you may have a decimal point error here. From Voicepulse's website[1]: "However, all of our rates are between half-a-cent ($0.005) and $0.019."

I get disconnected frequently every day. Sometimes every 15 minutes or so. Very frustrating when trying to get any work done. I also have multiple telnet sessions running from my home office PC to my client's Linux server. I never lose those connections. (Unless my entire internet connections goes down, or something like that.) I just attribute it to Remote Desktop Connection being a very touchy (poorly designed?) thing. It seems to be worse when trying to type things. I can read e-mail for long periods of time with no dropped connections, but when I try answering an e-mail ... So, you're not alone.

(ssh -L 3390:windowsbox:3389 username at ssh.host.com, point the Remote Desktop Connection client to localhost:3390). I've enabled SSH keep alive in my sshd_config file, and my connection can be stable for days. I'm not sure if this works on WinXP as well, but in Windows 2000 and 2003 you can set some keep alive options via group policy. Computer Configuration > Windows Components > Terminal Services. The keep alive features are rather different from those offered by SSH however and may not make any great improvements. RDP isn't the most secure protocol in the world, better than VNC but still not overly strong. Your best bet would be be to use RDP via a VPN or SSH. -- Andrew S.

(If the bus don't go there, Pete usually don't go there.) Has We're trying to get the meeting scheduled ASAP. Another volunteer (thanks, Jeremy) has taken the initial steps in reserving a room for the EE-CSCI building. This may not be ideal, but we're trying to get the meetings going again so we're taking the road well travelled to expedite the process. We can look at changing venues for the following meetings. We are looking at having the intallfest at a library or community center or any place that has a large space where we can rearrange tables. We will be meeting soon to (hopefully) finalize the details and then we will be reporting to the LUG. If anyone has any solid leads or good ideas, please let us know. Thanks for the interest and suggestions. With the help of Clay, we have formed a small group of people to organize the next series of meetings/installfests. If you would like to help in organizing or help in any other way, send an email to the list, Clay or myself and we'll get you into the loop. Cheers!

I haven't run it for maybe 8 months now, but last I used it, it worked really well. The idea was, and probably still is, you get the free client from these German fellows: http://freenx.berlios.de/download.php. And the server, you get from NOMachine: http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1. And between the two, you have a free, lightweight server of desktop and it, in my experience, is far from bloated. Since I haven't used it in a number of months, you may want to pull up NX, nomachine, or free nx in your favorite search engine. It's worth a look.

It is aiming to provide an out-of-the-box localised environment tailored for schools and universities. The out-of-the-box environment comes with 75 applications aimed at schools, as well as 15 network services pre-configured for a school environment. The simple, three-question installation requires minimal technical knowledge. Skolelinux is Debian, which means, among other things, that there are no license costs or worries, and that upgrade and maintenance of the software can be done over the Internet with the power of Debian's apt-get. The core goals of Skolelinux are localisation and ease of system administration. Not technical enough? Check out the FreeNX -> Nomachine project. Looks way cool. This is pretty exciting stuff .

Occasionally, across town to an office but, still, good connectivity and not a lot of dropped connections. Out of curiosity, is a VPN involved during these dropped connections? If so, can the VPN be taken out of the equation while still keeping the login credentials secure across the network? May be worth a try.

I haven't run it for maybe 8 months now, but last I used it, it worked really well. The idea was, and probably still is, you get the free client from these German fellows: http://freenx.berlios.de/download.php. And the server, you get from NOMachine: http://www.nomachine.com/select-package.php?os=linux&id=1. And between the two, you have a free, lightweight server of desktop and it, in my experience, is far from bloated. Since I haven't used it in a number of months, you may want to pull up NX, nomachine, or free nx in your favorite search engine.

I have been using TightVNC for many years, running it as an xinetd service to allow people to use our workstations remotely. I also use it the same way at home. I tried NoMachine and FreeNX recently and after trying it several times I found the performance to be slightly worse than TightVNC. Some things were faster such as menus popping up, but overall the performance was worse. It could really be felt when switching windows. The overall quality was pretty good, but I wasn't very impressed. I don't have any real performance numbers to provide... just the feel of things. Either solution will do a fine job, it may just come down to what you prefer using. The one thing that looked like it could be promising is the bundling of the SSH tunneling and the remote desktop connectoin that the NoMachine client provides.

So the real moral of the story is before you sign up check out the traceroute to their site, run some long term trending for loss and jitter, and understand that yup, its still the Internet. But its cheap, it works, and they are very asterisk friendly. There are 0 features for their connect line of service (they have a consumer one with the bizillions of features) and you have to prepay for all services (it auto-loads chunks of $$$ when you get low). All local outbound calls are charged so if you are looking at many thousands of minutes you could see a hit from that. But at the crazy low price for calls its not a big deal.

Hello, Myself and some other volunteers have been working on this exact endeavor including a meeting for next month. So far it looks like the next meeting and installfest will be at the U of M (that is unless someone beats us to it). We've put in all the requests for the rooms and we're just waiting on final approval. We'd love to have you participate in the planning and implementation process with us so we can combine efforts. Let us know if you're interested in joining the group. The group started as a result of Clay's request for volunteers in case you're wondering where this all originated.

I shut down telnet altogether about 8 years ago and before that I was using tcp-wrappers to block access from most IPs. It's just too insecure of a protocol even without a "vulnerability" in it. I also do not allow root logins. Some people think I'm totally crazy to be so restrictive, but I think typing "su" and a password is a very small price to pay for the added security -- if someone finds a vulnerability in my SSH daemon, I will have that extra layer of protection between when the script kiddies find out about it and when I find out about it, and I want that.

Its been probably about a week now and all my research and google searches have not solved my problem, yet its been a great learning opportunity and feel as though I can breeze through any kernel configuration. The main reason for this post is to ask if there is anyone here that has a relatively cheap Pcmcia-ethernet (dongle or non) card for sale. My current card came from school which is a 32 bit IBM 10/100 Etherjet that utilizes the Xircom 16 bit drivers. Apparently, this is a troublesome card, not to mention the bus drivers for this particular brand of laptop. I would really like to get something working soon thus this will be my main system at home for sometime until I can gather the experience to find the courage to look for a better paying job. If anyone around St Paul (Snelling/University) or Bloomington have a card know to work in a 2.6 system please hit me up! Cheers!

After intalling the php module you need to include a line similar to this in your apache config: LoadModule php_module /path/to/php/module.so You'll also need to add a line similar to this to your apache config file: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps A lot of this depends on the distribution you have and the path to the module. Hopefully your package manager will do most of this for you. In Debian the package you would need for Apache2 is libapache2-mod-php5. I'm assuming your running 2.x.x version of apache. If it's a version 1.x.x, the settings may be different. I haven't looked at php and apache 1 in a long time. It would help if we knew the version of Apache and the Linux distrobution you're using.

I am using Ubuntu, but that has no barring on Apache when it comes to this box, since with the "wre" everything is self contained. However it is running Apache2. I used apt-get install php5, and saw that it installed libapache2-mod-php5. After the install an information screen came up saying it had disabled Apache because the wre was using port 80, which is fine in this case.

The one at newegg (ADX6000CZBOX) is retail, look for "BOX" at the end of the part number for AMD chips. I strongly recommend buying the retail, as it also comes with a fan. If you need to RMA the CPU they require the serial number off of the fan, not the chip. Even though an OEM has a 30 day warranty, it is generally very difficult to RMA these. Most resellers immediately redirect you to the manufacturer who will issue an RMA at their discretion. If you attempt an RMA as a home user they will generally not give it as OEM chips are intended, at least their desire, to be sold through VARs who will provide their own warranty.

For your counter-example... Some socket F (1207) opterons come in a retail box WITHOUT the HSF, but the boxes are marked as such.

Hopefully you've been keeping your system updated so as to minimize risks. As to additional logging, you'll need to modify your /etc/syslog.conf for what you want to log as well as the level of verbosity. I haven't looked into a CentOS syslog.conf file, but I believe they turn down verbosity so as to keep logfiles from filling up. I believe it's authlog you want to enable to log remote users, but don't recall offhand. -- -Shawn -Nemo me impune lacessit. Ne Obliviscaris..

I tracked it down to an IP address in some other country (can't recall which off hand) opening tons of connections to a site on the server. Once I blocked that IP address in iptables it was fine after that. So just a thought you might check your current port 80 connections with something like netstat -an | grep ":80 " or if you want to get a tally per remote IP connected somehting like this netstat -an | grep ":80 " | awk '{ print $5 }' | sort | uniq -c From strayf at freeshell.org Thu Mar 22 22:41:54 2007 From: strayf at freeshell.org (Steve Cayford) Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2007 22:41:54 -0500 Subject: [tclug-list] Openoffice window decorations scrambled Message-ID: <46034C82.1050807@freeshell.org> I asked this question on the ltsp discussion list, but I haven't had any responses and I'm not really sure it's an ltsp problem.

If an inefficiently written PHP/Perl, etc script is being run with each visitor, that could easily explain the load. Checking the access logs to find out the rate of requests could help you decide if this is the problem. The other good explanation is many connections being opened to the server and that combined with KeepAlive and host name look ups (if enabled) could be causing your heavy usage problems. Optimization could help you, there are plenty of Apache Optimization HOWTOs out there.

However, I know my preferred cursors exist with xterm in Linux. I'm not even close to being a programmer. So my question is how hard would it be to compile such cursors into existing software such as OpenOffice and Thunderbird? I suggested this as an enhancement to OpenOffice but the suggestion was greeted with deafening silence. I've noticed Emacs uses such cursors in X so I assume it's possible. I'm not expecting anyone to code this, but IF it's relatively simple would it be possible to use Emacs source code as an example and modify OpenOffice and Thunderbird for compilation? Perhaps it's something as simple as a start-up option.

To determine if your timezone data is current (at least with regards to the US DST change) you can run zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007 if you see Sun Apr 1 then you know you have old data if you see Sun Mar 11 then you are current This is a little shell script I wrote to ease updating many servers of mixed distros. It worked on redhat 7.3, rhel3, suse 9.2, suse 9.3 and openbsd (except localtime is a symlink). It assumes you're running as root. wget ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2007c.tar.gz mkdir tzdata mv tzdata2007c.tar.gz tzdata cd tzdata mkdir zoneinfo.bak ls -ld /etc/localtime sleep 3s # look to make sure localtime is not a symlink ls -ld /etc/localtime > zoneinfo.bak/localtime.zdump.txt zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007 >> zoneinfo.bak/localtime.zdump.txt cp /etc/localtime /root/tzdata/zoneinfo.bak/ cd /usr/share/ tar czvf /root/tzdata/zoneinfo.bak/zoneinfo.tar.gz zoneinfo/ cd /root/tzdata tar zxvf tzdata2007c.tar.gz zic -d zoneinfo northamerica cd zoneinfo/ cp -rf * /usr/share/zoneinfo cp -f CST6CDT /etc/localtime zdump -v /etc/localtime | grep 2007 Most server processes that care about time will check the localtime when they start and never check again during their life. You can just restart services but I prefer to reboot after you get patched to make sure all running processes notice the change. Java and things that depend on Java (eg recent versions of Cold Fusion) maintain their own timezone settings so they have OS independence. Sun has a great and simple tzupdate.jar file for patching all java executables. It worked great for me as well.

I've wondered the same thing in the past. The best explanation I could come up with is that if you're symlinking your tz file and have /usr on a separate partition and that partition fails to mount someday, things could get messy. I'm a gentoo user, and when I started using the distro, they recommended symlinking that file. Recently though, they've changed their recommendation to actually copy the tz file. -erik From florin at iucha.net Wed Mar 28 12:08:03 2007 From: florin at iucha.net (Florin Iucha) Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 12:08:03 -0500 Subject: [tclug-list] ntp and CST In-Reply-To: References: <1305.216.17.75.74.1175058176.squirrel@www.krytosvirus.com> <101e49ea0703280612i3228876ax5cccd860a3ea8569@mail.gmail.com> <460A7C48.7050803@e-skinner.net> <1f663090703280914y3d720d29v82791acfb1a126b6@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <20070328170803.GG17401@iucha.net> On Wed, Mar 28, 2007 at 11:24:57AM -0500, Erik Anderson wrote: > On 3/28/07, Rob Terhaar wrote: > > ok can someone explain why just doing > > ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Chicago /etc/localtime > > > > is bad? > > I've wondered the same thing in the past.

On Debian, some script that reads the /etc/localtime file runs before /usr is mounted, so even in the absence of failure, your time will be off. florin -- Bruce Schneier expects the Spanish Inquisition. http://geekz.co.uk/schneierfacts/fact/163 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

All that being said, there's more to making a system compliant for DST than just updating the tzdata package. You also need to update glibc packages, and if you're running java, that as well. On an RH/Fedora based system, there's a total of 4 packages if you don't count java: Glibc-common Glibc Glibc-utils Tzdata If you read into the FAQ by Red Hat, you would notice that if you updated all packages together, you do not need to change the /etc/localtime file by hand. It's done automatically. It would be a bad idea to delete the file, and recreate a symlink of /etc/localtime to your /usr/share/zoneinfo/TZFILE as the localtime file will be updated every time you update your system with the packages listed above and revert back to a copy of your tz file. The /etc/localtime file is a copy of your timezone as specified within the /etc/sysconfig/clock file on RH based systems. Or, equivalent file depending upon your distro. -- -Shawn -Nemo me impune lacessit. Ne Obliviscaris..

I am using the wre (webgui runtine environment), where apache, perl, and mysql are all with in /data/wre. I am running things on an Ubuntu server, so initially, I just used apt to install php4, and php-cli. In the domain.conf I added: LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp4.so AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps This worked fine, only, I would get preg_match errors at the top of the page. I found it was due to using external libraries for pcre. The fix is to install php with the following option,"--with-pcre-regex=", with no trailing path . I am attempting to install php using source files, and this seems to work, but now it is asking for MYSQL Headers, which requires I install mysql-devel. I have a couple questions about this; if I use apt-get, instead, to install mysql-devel, will it work to use "-o" to set the install path to /data/wre/prereqs/mysql . Also, will it work to do the same for installing php, to add "--with-pcre-regex="? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
