Might I suggest you try to get two people involved: 1) An expert in the 'attacker' space. (i.e. a penn tester.) 2) An expert in the 'defender' space.

Most blew right past their audiences, or at best it wasn't clear how to use the information presented [other than "hire us"]. "Security" is such a broad swath of topics, and depending on the type of organization and size is approached so many ways, it is hard to address generally in a meaningful / practicable way.

I was thinking of you when I was thinking 'seasoned sysadmin'. Maybe I just want to see you call the other guy's BS, and then see him call yours.

Yes, it could be the large number of files since you are able to access other directories. Have you tried using another FTP Client? ** I don't know the answer to your question, and have asked. That it could be the large number of files is something I mentioned to them, so this is not going well.... Globbing will fail when the "list" gets too long - I've seen it before. I think it when the lists get to be 100K bytes long, maybe more. A shell script might choke at that point, and then you have to switch to things like xargs. But this doesn't really explain why this is happening even at the level of one file name now. At least it doesn't explain it to me. It will be a while yet. Your question is a good one - they ask me whether I've tried another version of FTP, but haven't told me what they use or support. I use the standard ftp that comes with Kubuntu 12.04. Another possibility would be a script of some kind where I do the globbing at my end, and then do an ftp session on a file by file basis. Maybe use something like "expect."

Globbing chokes after a certain number of bytes, not files. i.e., if you're in the habbit of using 256 byte file names - or whatever the current length limit is for a typical Linux system today - you'll run in to it with fewer files. On that basis I'll guess the limit might be closer to 1MB, based on my own situation.

Yet when I run 'tracker-search php return button' or 'tracker-search "php return button" (I'm trying to find the document that has the phrase 'php return button' in it, "build-class.php"), tracker returns all kinds of documents, including many from /var/www/html, some of which don't seem to have the work 'return' in them anywhere, but not the particular document I'm looking for.

Probably because "return" is a stop word; it is at least ignored in indexing. This is typical of search engines, they will ignore certain common words.

The problem is that it's not finding the php files, though it finds lots of other files in /var/www/html. Also, it will find the same file with the extension changed from .php to .txt immediately. Thus it seems to have indexed build-class.txt immediately but never indexes build-class.php. It was ack that didn't seem to have any way to give results from more than one directory and its subdirectories at a time. ack did find the php files without any difficulty. > > > On Wed, 2012-10-03 at 14:04 -0400, Eric Beversluis wrote: > > > Strange.

Why would it take longer to index the .php files? In fact now, several hours later, it's still not returning any .php files. It does seem to return .php files that have the search terms in the title (e.g., 'tracker-search build-class' returns '/var/www/html/build-class.php'. > > awilliam at linux-nysu:~> tracker-info ProvisionRabbitMQ.txt > Querying information for entity:'ProvisionRabbitMQ.txt' > 'urn:uuid:913e87ba-85c6-dc00-949c-23a2f00dc81e' > Results: > 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/date' = '2012-09-25T13:59:41Z' > 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/source' = > 'urn:nepomuk:datasource:9291a450-1d49-11de-8c30-0800200c9a66' > 'tracker:added' = '2012-09-25T13:59:44Z' > ... > > _______________________________________________ > grlug mailing list > grlug at grlug.org > http://shinobu.grlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/grlug From awilliam at whitemice.org Thu Oct 4 05:31:13 2012 From: awilliam at whitemice.org (Adam Tauno Williams) Date: Thu, 04 Oct 2012 05:31:13 -0400 Subject: [GRLUG] gnome tracker issue In-Reply-To: <1349310673.1822.20.camel@localhost.localdomain> References: <1349285354.2060.6.camel@localhost.localdomain> <506C781A.6050909@zuzax.com> <1349286974.1822.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1349287440.1822.4.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1349301812.1822.8.camel@localhost.localdomain> <1349302472.5403.2.camel@linux-nysu.site> <1349310673.1822.20.camel@localhost.localdomain> Message-ID: <1349343073.5403.18.camel@linux-nysu.site> On Wed, 2012-10-03 at 20:31 -0400, Eric Beversluis wrote: > On Wed, 2012-10-03 at 18:14 -0400, Adam Tauno Williams wrote: > > On Wed, 2012-10-03 at 18:03 -0400, Eric Beversluis wrote: > > > It seems from some stuff on line that in fact tracker does not > > > index .php files. > > They at least make it into the index.

The root the of the issue here is that there is no extractor for PHP file types; in Tracker an extractor exists for each file types and extracts the information from the file [ODT, DOCX, PDF, TXT, etc...] to be added to the index. Extractors correspond to MIME types and the MIME type of a PHP file is, for some queer historical reason, "application/x-php". Whereas Python files have a MIME type of "text/x-python" so if there isn't an extractor for "text/x-python" it falls back to extracting with "text/*". Most code files are treated as text files: "text/x-c", "text/x-c++", "text/x-java", "text/js", etc... But PHP is "application/*" for which there is, obviously, not default extractor. PHP developers, typically, being lower-case-d developers probably aren't going to write an extractor [which would be done in C]. You can try telling Tracker's text extractor that it can extract PHP files by editing /usr/share/tracker/extract-rules/90-text-generic.rule and changing the Mimetypes directive from "text/*" to "text/*;application.php;". And then restarting tracker - logging in and out would probably do that. Then just touch the PHP files, when the tracker miner becomes idle again [tracker-control] check one of the PHP files using tracker-info.

But for the record I've never referred to myself as a "security expert", or for that matter, an "expert" on anything. I'm just not certain what I'd have to offer that a GR-ISSA person would be interested in; they are big corporate theory, regulation, and expensive tools guys. I'm a hammer and wrench guy. No hate, but I'm not clear what the overlap is. My security 'advice' is all pretty basic stuff.

Assuming the MIME type pairing works, it should be available once the miner becomes idle.

I'm thinking of submitting one for next year on "Creating a WordPress theme from scratch." Not that most people ever will do that, but I found that building one from scratch (following various online tutorials) helped me understand better what I was doing when creating child themes from themes I liked. To do anything in an hour, it would have to assume LAMP and working knowledge of WP, but not necessarily any experience with modifying themes. There was a large group at the GIMP basics presentation, tho it seemed many of them had more experience with GIMP than the presentation was aimed at.

At least at the level of a the basic service that I have. The better solution would be to have an ssh connection, but at the lowest levels of service this doesn't seem to be an option. Another order of magnitude, or even two, of byte limit for globbing would be nice in today's world. Richard Stallman argued 30 years ago that machine's should have full word lengths as limits, not the silly, arbitrary limits that people often in fact use. Today that would mean essentially unlimited, but of course his appeal didn't take, and so we have silly little issues like this one. -- Bob On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 10:17 AM, Robert Citek wrote: > Not sure what the issue is, but a possible solution may be to use > Filezilla as your FTP client: > > http://forum.bplaced.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=20662 > > Good luck and let us know how things go. > > Regards, > - Robert > > On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 9:56 AM, Bob Kline wrote: > > It happens at the level of one file. > > e.g., if I use "ls zz*" for the file zz.jpg > > I get a globbing error.

The MIME type should be application/x-php. cat /usr/share/tracker/extract-rules/90-text-generic.rule [ExtractorRule] ModulePath=/usr/lib64/tracker-0.14/extract-modules/libextract-text.so MimeTypes=text/*;application/x-php; tracker-control --reindex-mime-yype="application/x-php" It is working for me now, at least I'm seeing PHP files in the search results.

Thanks. My requirements are simply lots of storage, and transfer amounts adequate for my needs. I only have hobby websites, but there's a lot of stuff on them. Hit rates are totally modest, so adequate transfer amounts per month are not large. Nothing I do would blow any real service out of the water, but I still want the basics to be solid - uptime, storage amounts, ease of transfer and management. -- Bob -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: I've got a laser printer (parallel, I have a usb->parallel adapter)), a multifunction inkjet/scaner (usb), and a flatbed scanner (scsi, but I have a usb->scsi adapter). The most convenient place for this is on the opposite side of the room from where my main workstation is. Previously, I had a PII with a basic debian install with said devices connected, running cups and sane, so as to facilitate printing and scanning over the network. I have since replaced this with an R-Pi, but for some reason it keeps crashing. (Yes it has separate powered usb hub for all the USB stuff. It has a 1000mA power source for the R-Pi itself, and both are on a UPS) I'd really prefer a solid state device rather than a PC with drives and fans - I'd like it quiet and low power. What I'd *really* like to do is replace this with an inexpensive device like one of these: http://www.trendnet.com/products/products.asp?cat=46 http://hawkingtech.com/products/wired_networking/print_servers/hmps1u.html *BUT* I can't seem to identify one of these types of devices for which the scanning function is either compatible with SANE-net, or even allows scanning from a web browser - everything seems to support scanning only with the included proprietary windows-only tool (some support Macs too). If anyone knows of anything like these that doesn't require windows for scanning, I'd love to hear about it.

At that price point there is no solution. For ~$50-75 you can get USB-over-IP 'device servers'. Like I've talked to people who have used these successfully to control industrial battery chargers; but your network needs to be really well put together and the software is twitchy. I haven't used them first-hand. > On Mon, Oct 8, 2012 at 1:54 PM, Adam Tauno Williams > wrote: > > On Mon, 2012-10-08 at 13:49 -0400, megadave wrote: > >> *BUT* I can't seem to identify one of these types of devices for which > >> the scanning function is either compatible with SANE-net, or even > >> allows scanning from a web browser - everything seems to support > >> scanning only with the included proprietary windows-only tool (some > >> support Macs too). > > I have a Brother MFC-9970CDW; it will scan to SMTP or FTP and possibly > > other targets.

(shipped USPS) Excellent, be sure to post back later how well this works. My experience with using OpenWRT to drive devices is that it "works" but falls apart under real-world load (you can print a man page, but printing a slide deck - nope). But I was using a Linksys WRT54GL [which does have an 'undocumented' USB port]. Maybe the newer WAPs have more gas, and obviously the software has evolved.

But generally it works really well. Sometimes my laptop won't wake up fully. It stays drowsy; the display is lighted, but all black. Most of the time closing the lid for a moment and then reopening it forces another suspend / wake cycle and all is well again. Sometimes (rarely) a hard reset is necessary.

I put openwrt on, not debian. After about a day's worth of screwing around with it I've manage to get it doing what I wanted it to do. Due to its very limited internal storage, I added a USB flash drive to use as "overlay" for its unionfs. After some screwing around, (and bit of swearing) I have hplip, cups, saned humming along nicely. I decided to leave my parallel laser on the old jetdirect box I have. There is no foomatic for cups in openwrt, so I ended up using an xinetd entry to just make the USB printer appear as a raw appsocket/jetdirect to cups on my workstation(s), which of course do have all that. One bit of contention is that openwrt's usb printer kernel mod conflicts with the one provided by hplip, so that was a bit of a trick. Also some issues with cups where the permissions on stuff werent as it assumed they would be. All told, I'm happy with it.

The primary malware tool on LINUX/UNIX is CLAMAV; CLAMAV is packaged on every mainstream LINUX distribution that I've met [so I assume that includes Ubuntu]. The homepage of the project is I regularly scan my file library so as to avoid being a vector [there isn't really any threat to me on a LINUX workstations or server, but you don't want to store-and-forward tainted files].

Didn't seem to help. 1. Restarted (forced w/power button) 2. 'Esc' to get to boot commands 3. Select second line, "kernel...." 4. 'e' to edit that line 5. Add 'acpi_osi=!Linux' to that line. 6. 'Enter' to accept the edits. 7. 'b' to boot But still there is no display after recovery from suspend. When I restart and go back to the boot command, the 'acpi_osi=!Linux' was gone. Presumably it did affect the previous boot. The strange thing is that this problem came on gradually. I had about a month when the suspend worked fine. Then I occasionally had the problem mentioned by John-Thomas where closing the lid again resulted in a proper recovery from suspend. But then one morning nothing but a restart would get the video back, and that not all the time. The graphics card is ATI Technologies Inc AMD Radeon HD 6310 GraphicsATI. Should I reinstall the radeon driver? Or try to use the proprietary API driver? Or is this an acpi problem? Thanks.

Message-ID: Looking for a good multifunction printer. I've had HP printers in the past, and they have worked well, however, I have become irritated at the toner/ink logic that makes me replace them with their expensive ink/causes issues with drivers if you use reman carts, etc. But I am willing to consider that they may be the lesser of two evils. I have used Ricoh printers in the past and love them, although the toner price is a bit high, it may be worth it. I have also used Xerox printers and have hated their interfaces and drivers. Basically what I'm looking for is: 1. Color printing, with ink that does not smudge (I have heard that some of the brother inkjet printers have special ink) 2. Scanning to email that doesn't use an external service. I want to point it at my internal SMTP server. 3. Color copying 4. Network ready. Would prefer gigabit ethernet for fast transfer speeds, but 100Mb is okay too. dont' care about wireless. 5. Must support standard languages (PCL PS), that can be used with generic drivers if I want to. 6. Duplex option 7. Good paper tray - must hold at least 150-200 sheets of paper. 8. Good output tray - must hold at least 20 sheets or so without spilling them onto the floor. 9. ADF - must be good and not jam. 10. Toner cost must be reasonable. I don't want to spend $400 to replace my 4 cartridges. 11. Must be somewhere between $300 and $600. :) Lots of requirements, but I want to buy one that I'll have for awhile. It will be replacing what I currently have (WHICH is available for sale if anyone is interested): HP Laserjet 2100dn - black and white network laser printer with extra paper tray and good cartridge - $95 OBO HP Laserjet 2550dn - color laserjet, I refilled the toners and put their generic chips in it last time, needs a new drum (small discoloration in top left quadrant) - $125 OBO HP OfficeJet 9130 - color multifunction inkjet copier, printer, scanner, 33.6 fax. Works EXCELLENT, but needs new ink cartridges - $195 OBO HP ScanJet 5550c - color flat-bed scanner with ADF, works well, USB, - $50 OBO These all work very well, but I don't want (4) devices anymore. kept the color laser because the officejet ink can smudge/run if wet. Kept the B&W laser because it's very nice output and fast, and kept the scanjet because my wife was confused when using the 9130.

An md device can be write-protected. What does /proc/mdstat say? Is this within the running system before the update, after partial updates, or in an update environment? A change in the md software or configuration that doesn't match the original environment may have caused a problem detecting the complete array. -- Jeff DeFouw From awilliam at whitemice.org Fri Oct 19 09:11:46 2012 From: awilliam at whitemice.org (Adam Tauno Williams) Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:11:46 -0400 Subject: [GRLUG] Any Fedora chaps online?

What you want is either vboxtool (shell script), or phpVirtualBox (a web GUI for VB). First requirement - create a separate vbox user that will "own" the VMs, as VB hides it's config under the user directory no matter where you store the physical machine diks. We have migrated to a simpler approach with SuSE/Xen - it is integrated at the system level and comes built-in shell management, no need to fuss with userspace. It also provides an OpenStack migration path.

Would this be sufficient for the VNC session to be encrypted (as Ben describes)? Lee, check on the Xen server -- last time I looked, I got the impression that Windows was not supported as a guest. Maybe I need to check later documentation... In VBox, port 3390 is the default for RDP; you can set a different port in the GUI or command line, but you have to turn on the RDP server for any VM you want to use (default is off). Later versions show setting a range of ports, and an unused one is assigned by VBox. Also, I would use vboxtool AND phpVirtualBox -- vboxtool starts VMs headless without user intervention and phpVB makes the RDP connections easily available (and gives GUI management for all VB settings). If you just need to connect without VNC or RDP (or are ok with manual/direct RDP connections), you can ssh directly to the VM once it's started. phpVB is where I saw a range of RDP ports being assigned. Of course, you need to be able to discover the IP address of the VM to ssh into it, and I haven't found an easy way to do that other than to assign something manually, either with DHCP/DNS or just RDPing into the VM and asking what the IP is. At any rate, using the VBox GUI is pretty much required to set up initial settings and [for example] upgrade the VBox version, although you can do that remotely by starting VBox in an X session (ssh -X into the remote box, then say 'virtualbox' on the command line). However, I have found times that trying to do VBox GUI upgrades remotely can lead to some problems, and it seems easier/more reliable to do it on a physical console on the VBox host. Any clarification on VBox, I have a lot of answers (too many?). Bottom line is, VBox has been running pretty well for a simple setup, with just a few kinks that may be easy to fix once the answers are known (I may have some of them down). I still need more practice with Xen. --Don Ellis On Sun, Oct 21, 2012 at 1:11 PM, Ben Rousch wrote: > You can do it by sshing to the user that owns the virtual machines and > then: > $ vboxmanage startvm mywinxpvm --type headless > > Then, assuming you already have a VNC server running on Windows in the > virtual machine, you forward port 5900 from that VM through your > firewall and connect remotely to it via VNC.

Yes, the monitor was DVI-D. I did a search on ?raspberry pi hdmi not working? and found lots of useful discussions. One problem in particular has to do with inexpensive HDMI cables that don?t have proper ground wires. They work with most computers, TVs and monitors, but not the RPi. Several people reported success with HDMI to DVI cables. Goodwill sells 15-17? LCD monitors for $15. Most are VGA only, but I?ve purchased a couple that had DVI. I don?t know about the Grand Rapids area, but I?ve had the most success finding them in the better off neighborhoods of the Chicago suburbs. Unfortunately most computer stores that sell used/refurbished monitors want $40 to $90, but that probably gets you some type of guarantee beyond returning it if it?s DOA. Other than that Craig?s List is an obvious place to look. HDMI to VGA convertors start at around $30.

Don't have to do that after using OminCleanz. --Don Ellis On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 10:00 AM, Bob Kline wrote: > For Nexus 7 owners: > > * What do you use to clean the screen > after it gets all gooped up and slimy? > > * Flashplayer is not supported on the > version of Android I have, and apparently > there is no intention of supporting it in the > future.

The Klear Screen product I mentioned was available in bottles, with special cleaning cloths (non-woven fabric product), and also in single-serving packets, with a pair of moist towelettes (two packets with different solutions and cloths). There is also the specialized cleaner and lens tissues we used to get for coated camera lenses, that might be overkill for this kind of daily application, but would certainly be suitable. --Don Ellis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It has ubuntu 12.10 on it and I wanted to try gitlab on it. The install instructions are pretty good. I have it installed and everything looks good except that I had to stop apache to get nginx running. This turning off apache and starting nginx seemed to mess with a couple other services I had running. Owncloud and ruTorrent just showed a "welcome to nginx" screen. Like I said in the subject, I know enough to get me i trouble, but not enough to know what I am actually doing. I don't even know why I had to install nginx for gitlab, I turned it off and everything still works. So my question is, where would I get a good tutorial about how to set up apache and/or nginx, exactly what they do and how they do it. Or maybe we have some experts in the house that would be willing to do a presentation or work with a few newbie's?

I do such a setup all the time.

If removing the battery for a little while doesn't help, I would try reseating anything easy to get to: RAM, hard disks, optical drives. If that doesn't work, take it apart and reseat any other connections you can find, such as a graphics card, keyboard, etc. I've seen a BIOS lock up when something unimportant had a partial connection. -- Jeff DeFouw From spiritkind2012 at hotmail.com Tue Oct 30 13:13:57 2012 From: spiritkind2012 at hotmail.com (scott woods) Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:13:57 -0400 Subject: [GRLUG] keen on LVM In-Reply-To: <1351615825.5615.0.camel@p105s6207.site> References: , <1351615825.5615.0.camel@p105s6207.site> Message-ID: Yup I was equally stumped.

Thumb drives, Printers with media card readers, & Cameras have given me problems in the past with HP. They do not need to be boot-able, I just had "boot to USB" switch on in the BOIS for this to become irritating enough to shut it off in the BIOS.

If you don't know, Crossover is basically Wine/Winetricks/PlayOnLinux, but has better support and is not free (in either sense). I do believe they help improve Wine as well.
