Diet in progress

Hi I'm on my diet program

15/03/2010 - exercise 7:40 p.m cycling, skipping

Well it was quite pain (as a newbie) installing Pico on FreeBSD, but heres how to do that quick.

Login to SSH as root.

Sometimes, direct root login is disabled. Do this then,

# su -
# password: [Enter your WHM root pass]
# [Hostname]: [Ready to work ]

To Download ports:
# /stand/sysinstall
- Go to Configure (post install)
- Go to Distributions
- Select 'ports'
- Select 'ok'
From there select FTP transfer (ftp.freebsd.org is ok) and it should download the ports into /usr/ports. When it's done, just exist sysinstall and run the commands I stated earlier.

It'll take a while to download.

after its finished downloading, do this:

# cd /usr/ports/editors/pico
# make install

and it'd install it for you.

DONE!!

Installing pine in Debian.

1) w3m ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine_4.64_i386.deb

if you find any error e.g: pine: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Just execute these commands:

$ sudo -s
# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libcrypto.so.0.9.8 libcrypto.so.0.9.7
# ln -s libssl.so.0.9.8 libssl.so.0.9.7

Installing rails in FreeBSD

I installed the following via the ports tree:

• devel/subversion
• devel/ruby-gems
• databases/rubygem-activerecord
• lang/ruby18
• converters/ruby-iconv

gem18 install rails

For security reason, FreeBSD only allows su to root user,
if user is member of wheel group. Wheel group is a special group for administration purpose. Add your normal user to this group using pw command using following:
# pw user mod username -G wheel

So to add user amir to group wheel run command as follows:
# pw user mod amir -G wheel
# groups amir

amir wheel

Now su will work for amir.

You can disable this behavior complete for all users (not recommended until and unless you trust ALL of users):
1) Open pam configuration file for su using text editor:
# vi /etc/pam.d/su

2) Look for following line and comment it out:
Line:
auth requisite pam_wheel.so no_warn auth_as_self noroot_ok exempt_if_empty
Replace with:
#auth requisite pam_wheel.so no_warn auth_as_self noroot_ok exempt_if_empty

3) Now all users can use su command.

=============

I got problem when compiling bind with dlz + openssl

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bind-zs/ --with-openssl=/usr/local/bind-zs/ --enable-threads=no --with-dlz-mysql=/Applicatioampp/xamppfiles/

Its return these errors during make:

gcc -g -O2 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -o named \

ld: library not found for -lcrypt
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [named] Error 1
make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 1
make: *** [subdirs] Error 1


The solution, compile with this command first:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bind-zs/ --with-openssl=/usr/local/bind-zs/ --enable-threads=no

without --with-dlz-mysql=/Applicatioampp/xamppfiles/

do make

than

reconfigure with

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bind-zs/ --with-openssl=/usr/local/bind-zs/ --enable-threads=no --with-dlz-mysql=/Applicatioampp/xamppfiles/

I already test the usb random number generator Araneus Alea I with OSX (unix bsd).

After compiling the i found errors as below:

root:/Users/amir/linux$ make
cc randomfile.c -lusb -o randomfile
randomfile.c:16:17: error: usb.h: No such file or directory
randomfile.c: In function 'main':
randomfile.c:74: error: 'usb_busses' undeclared (first use in this function)
randomfile.c:74: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
randomfile.c:74: error: for each function it appears in.)
randomfile.c:74: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
randomfile.c:75: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
randomfile.c:75: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
randomfile.c:76: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
randomfile.c:77: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
randomfile.c:84: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
make: *** [randomfile] Error 1

I need to configure libusb to generate usb.h and other related header files.

I edit the Makefile and alter the parameter as below:
randomfile: randomfile.c
cc -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib \
randomfile.c -lusb -o randomfile

After that make it again:

cc -I/opt/local/include -L/opt/local/lib \
randomfile.c -lusb -o randomfile
randomfile.c: In function 'main':
randomfile.c:99: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 3 of 'usb_bulk_read' differ in signedness

Phew, ignore the error. Basically its no error, but warning. After successcully compile the .c file, one binary file generated called randomfile

Let test the tools:

./randomfile 1000 > random.hex

one file generated random.hex with these:

The simplest way to integrate the Alea I with dnssec-keygen is to use the "randomfile" program which is provided as C source on the Alea I driver CD, and pipe its output into the standard input of the dnssec-keygen program. For example, this command will generate a 2048-bit RSA zone key for the "my" TLD:

sudo randomfile -b | dnssec-keygen -r /dev/fd/0 -a RSASHA1 -b 2048 my.

Here, the "-b" causes the randomfile program to output the randomness in binary form (which is what dnssec-keygen expects), and the "-r /dev/fd/0" causes dnssec-keygen to read randomness from standard input instead of /dev/random. Note that the randomfile program needs to be run as root unless you set up specific udev rules to give non-root users permission to access the Alea I USB device.

After a while:

Next week(24 April 2009 until 1 May 2009) I will be in Sabah & Sarawak. I will represent MyNIC BHD. as presenter to talk about Domain Name System Security Extention (DNSSEC). The audiences will be government and educational institution. See you all there. For more info please visit http://rnd.domainregistry.my

Installing Berkeley DB on Debian.
========================

1. wget http://freshmeat.net/redir/berkeleydb/694/url_tgz/db-4.7.25.tar.gz
2. tar vxfz db-4.7.25.tar.gz;cd db-4.7.25/build_unix
3. ../dist/configure --enable-cxx --enable-diagnostics --prefix=/usr/local
4. Install perl BerkeleyDB from CPAN.

Testing by using perl Code
==================
use strict ;
use BerkeleyDB ;

my $filename = "fruit" ;
unlink $filename ;
my $db = new BerkeleyDB::Hash
-Filename => $filename,
-Flags => DB_CREATE
or die "Cannot open file $filename: $! $BerkeleyDB::Error\n" ;

# Add a few key/value pairs to the file
$db->db_put("apple", "red") ;
$db->db_put("orange", "orange") ;
$db->db_put("banana", "yellow") ;
$db->db_put("tomato", "red") ;

# Check for existence of a key
print "Banana Exists\n\n" if $db->db_get("banana", $v) == 0;

# Delete a key/value pair.
$db->db_del("apple") ;

# print the contents of the file
my ($k, $v) = ("", "") ;
my $cursor = $db->db_cursor() ;
while ($cursor->c_get($k, $v, DB_NEXT) == 0)
{ print "$k -> $v\n" }

undef $cursor ;
undef $db ;

2009 Certification Planning

I'm planning to take:
1. CISSP Certified Information Systems Security Professional
2. GIAC Certified Unix Security Adminstrator (GCUX)

As now I'm enrolling in Master programmer at UiTM. Master Sc.(Computer Networking).

Hope everything goes fine.
