/etc/network/interfaces configuration for 802.1x authentication

Saeid Zebardast — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 06:14:08 +0000

Hey

I have a problem with adjust Network Manager for 802.x1 Tunneled TLS (TTLS) and MD5 in Ubuntu. MD5 does not exist in `Inner Authentication` when I choose TTLS.
I was forced to enter the settings to interfaces file (/etc/network/interfaces). Interfaces file content is shown below:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xx.xx.xx.xx
netmask xx.xx.xx.xx
gateway xx.xx.xx.xx
wpa-driver wired
wpa-eap TTLS MD5
wpa-key-mgmt IEEE8021X
wpa-anonymous-identity USER_NAME
wpa-identity USER_NAME
wpa-password PASSWORD
wpa-phase1 auth=MD5
wpa-phase2 auth=PAP password=PASSWORD

Also you can use Open1X (XSupplicant).

Have a good time

Install Oracle Instant Client and PHP OCI8 module

Saeid Zebardast — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:52:15 +0000

If you want to connect to an Oracle database with PHP, you can use Oracle’s Instant Client and the oci8 module from pear.

Download the Basic and the SDK packages from oracle.com. At the time of this writing, the filenames are instantclient-basic.zip and instantclient-sdk.zip.

Unzip these files in a new directory, e.g. /opt/oracle/instantclient.

Code:

sudo su
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/instantclient
cd /opt/oracle/instantclient
unzip instantclient-basic.zip
unzip instantclient-sdk.zip
echo /opt/oracle/instantclient >> /etc/ld.so.conf
ldconfig

The previous two lines are supposed to create symlinks named libclntsh.so and libocci.so which we will need later. In my case these symlinks were not created by ldconfig, so I created them manually.

Code:

ln -s libclntsh.so.11.1 libclntsh.so
ln -s libocci.so.11.1 libocci.so

In the next step we will download the oci8 module with pear. Pear is in the php-pear package.

Code:

apt-get install php-pear

Also, you need php5-dev and build-essential packages for compiling oci8 module.

Code:

apt-get install php-pear php5-dev build-essential

“Normally” we should be able to just use pecl install oci8 now, but apparently pear is not able to figure out where the instantclient libraries are. So we will just download the oci8 module and build it on our own.

Code:

mkdir -p /usr/local/src
cd /usr/local/src
pecl download oci8
tar xzf oci8-1.3.4.tgz
cd oci8-1.3.4
phpize
./configure --with-oci8=shared,instantclient,/opt/oracle/instantclient
make
make install

The oci8-1.3.4.tgz filename will of course change for newer releases.

To enable the oci8 module in the php.ini (/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini), add a line
Code:

extension=oci8.so

(put this line after the examples starting with ;extension).

Now stop and start Apache. You should see the oci8 module in the output of phpinfo().

Good luck

Nested X11 environment session

Saeid Zebardast — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 19:15:28 +0000

Instead of using a full-blown new virtual X for developing software you can use Xephyr to embed your KDE 4 session into your working KDE 3 or other X11 environment.

If you want to get a minimal KDE session up and running, just launch Xephyr (available in Kubuntu as xserver-xephyr; Gentoo users compile x11-base/xorg-server with USE=”kdrive”):

Xephyr :1 -extension GLX &

You can now launch KDE:

export DISPLAY=:1
/path/to/kde4/bin/startkde &

For other X11 environment just change /path/to/kde4 like:

/usr/bin/startx &

/usr/bin/startkde &

/usr/bin/startxfce&

You can use “locate” command to find paths like:

locate startkde

Webmin, Installing on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10)

Saeid Zebardast — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 19:48:10 +0000

Hi
I wrote post about Webmin in ITPencil. My Persian friend like it. I decide to write post about Webmin and how to installing it on Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10).
It’s very good for newbie.

from webmin.com:

Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.

Installing Webmin On Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10)
Webmin has some dependency package.
Install dependencies:

sudo aptitude install bash perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl \
libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl

After install dependencies, you can download and install Webmin. Last version of Webmin is 1.390.
Download Webmin:

sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin_1.390_all.deb

Install Webmin:

sudo dpkg -i webmin*.deb

Log in and use it:
Copy this URL into your web browser: https://localhost:10000
