wake on lan and terminal management page

This code was written to get a management interface for my own servers. But as I switched to another option the code was never in productive state.

 * Instead of the standard ANSI/VT100 terminal, publish a Wyse 60 terminal. Again, this command should be run as root.

    The terminal connects to a ssh session on example.org. 

shellinaboxd -t -s /:AUTH:HOME:/bin/bash

    Interactively request the user's name and password prior to launching a Bourne shell. This command can be run by unprivileged users. But if doing so, it only allows this particular user to log in.

This is my own version of a picture archive and view web interface. On the corresponding server the pictures are stored in folders for year, month and day. There is also the possibility to create specific albums with pictures as well as storing pictures in a folder to reprint/copy.

print documents via web interface

This simple php code will allow to choose one or more documents and prints them using the local cups printer. There is also a possibility to select one of the locally installed printers.

There are some prerequesites as follows:

  • install unoconv and openoffice/libreoffice (import filters are required)
  • install calc, writer, impress, draw as required (import formats)
  • local lpr printing programm and lpstat for list of installed printers are required
  • upload is putting any non-pdf document in a local folder on the webserver for conversion this folder must be writable by PHP/apache
  • copy this file to location accessible by apache

vnc connection via ssh tunnel

To use one of my servers as a development platform I have choosen VNC through a SSH tunnel to access a graphical user interface. The GUI is necessary in order to play around with eclipse and android development and VNC is used as it should reduce the network traffic to its bare minimum keeping my slow internet connection available for other services as well.

I will start with vnc4server as it seems to be available in the standard debian repos, so a:
aptitude install vnc4server
should do the trick. To get a display to connect to the next step is:
vnc4server -geometry 1024x768 -depth 24
which will create the display with the specified geometry. You will be prompted for a password afterwards which will be used for the remote connection. To get the new server running just type:
vnc4server
and thats it. The server will be stopped by:
vnc4server -kill :1
The corresponding viewer part will be installed by:
aptitude install xvnc4viewer
and you will be able to access the server by issuing:
xvnc4viewer
To have a graphical UI available I start with xfce on the remote machine in the first step to see if it suffices.
On the server side the desktop will be started by including the following command in /etc/vnc/xstartup:
startxfce4
whereas on the client side you should issue the following commend once you are connected to the server through a vnc client viewer:
xfdesktop

Cups Print Server with remote printer driver

To enable remote printing on a print server first setup the server with the correct printer drivers. In my case I had to install foo2zjs package in order to get my printer running. My network printer was than configured using the cups webinterface as socket://:9100 which is quiet specific for my HP printer.
The remote printing must be configured using the following entries in cupsd.conf:

Listen ip of printserver:631
BrowseOrder Deny,Allow
BrowseAllow From local net/255.255.255.0

Order deny,allow
Deny From All
Allow From localnet /255.255.255.0

on the client side please add the following directive to cupsd.conf:

BrowsePoll ip of printserver :631

In newer versions of cups the directive must be placed in cups-browsed.conf. The directive itself remains the same.

Do not forget to start both servers in order to get the new directives working. On the client machine the remote printers should be available in the webinterface as newly added printers ready for jobs.

In newer versions do not forget to restart the cups-browsed service also.

android-x86

USB install:
zcat android-x86-….img.gz |dd of=/dev/sdb

How to wake up:
the following keys are working: ESC, Menu, left, right, up, down

to wake up the machine the keys must be pressed for at least one second

you may use the mouse wheel to unlock the screen

if you encounter graphics problems you may use the following options:

kernel initrd=/initrd.img root=/dev/ram0
androidboot_hardware=generic_x86 acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode video=-16 SRC=DATA=DPI=240

the parameter xforcevesa enables VESA graphics driver for X

nomodeset disables the kernel mode setting

Both options may be used to play around and getting graphics to work.

Navigation:
HOME – windows key left
BACK – ESC
MENU – menu-key

Tine 2.0 Setup

To enable SMTP and IMAP support in Tine 2.0 the following points must be followed:

  • enable system account in the setup (Systemkonto verwenden)
  • the login name and password must be identical in Tine as well as on the email server

The setup of Tine 2.0 itself is straight forward and following the general installation guide.

Android Tools

adb is part of the adroid development tools and can b found in the directory platform-tools. adb itself must have enough privileges to get a connection to the USB connected android device, so normally it should be started as root.
On an amd64 system the compatibility libs must be installed #

apt-get install ia32-libs

And here is a link to the development platform at google:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

OTP – One Time Passwords

After the installation of anyterm on my sheeva I am now working on the integration of One Time Passwords to enable fullaccess to my network even from a compromised workstation in an internet cafe.

I decided to go with OPIE – One-time Passwords In Everything which is using the S/KEY system (http://www.inner.net/opie).  The installation is as easy as:

aptitude install opie-server opie-client

after that the pam module for SSH must be adjusted:

/etc/pam.d/sshd

auth sufficient pam_unix.so
auth sufficient pam_opie.so
auth required pam_deny.so

must be in whereas:

@include common-auth

must be out.

Initialisation is done via:

opiepasswd -c

which gives you back the first password and seed. You need to give a passphrase for the actual account before the command completes.

With the command opiekey the sequence number and the passphrase you can also get the apropriate password or with the option -n <number> a list of usable
passwords for printing.
