unixbhaskar — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 13:45:42 +0000

So, Once I downloaded the tar file from this link LibreOffice , it is 150MB of size.

Fine, next I got into downloaded dir and untar it ..then get into the inflated dir like this :

bhaskar@Scientific-Linux_18:48:52_Mon Apr 09:~/Downloads> tar -xvzf LibO_3.5.2_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz LibO_3.5.2rc2_Linux_x86_install-rpm_en-US/

But wait…I am not able to see the menu’s..okay there is directory inside the inflated dir called ” desktop-integration” and then get into that .

Next , only install the freedesktop rpm…which will eventually install the menus into the system.BTW while doing this you might come across those errors..I safely ignore those and it works..it might not be the case for you.

That’s all!!

Hope this will help.

Installing Drupal in Gentoo

unixbhaskar — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:32:45 +0000

So,I have stumbled over a page here ,which basically suggest that the installation was problematic. So I decided to plunge into it to have a crack on it.

My Gentoo system has prohibit me too..here are the interaction with my system:
bhaskar@GentooLinux_13:41:15_Thu Feb 09:~> sudo emerge -av drupal

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y

On the process to get it into my system I have added it keywords file and made some flags to add with the php .

First I have added a file drupal.keywords in /etc/portage/package.keywords and the content of the file look like this :

www-apps/drupal ~x86 ~

Then, I have added another file as php.use in /etc/portage/package.use and the content of the file is like this :

dev-lang/php pdo gd mysql mysqli xml apache2

Look at the flags I have added to emerge php to integrate with others.Then I started to emerge the drupal.

Once the emerge complete; it look like below:
* Messages for package dev-lang/php-5.3.9:


 * Installing php.ini for cli into /etc/php/cli-php5.3

 *

 * Installing php.ini for apache2 into /etc/php/apache2-php5.3

 *

 * Make sure that PHP_TARGETS in /etc/make.conf includes php5-3 in order

 * to compile extensions for the 5.3 ABI

 *

 *

 * This ebuild installed a version of php.ini based on php.ini-development version.

 * You can chose which version of php.ini to install by default by setting PHP_INI_VERSION to either

 * 'production' or 'development' in /etc/make.conf

 * Both versions of php.ini can be found in /usr/share/doc/php-5.3.9

 *

 * For more details on how minor version slotting works (PHP_TARGETS) please read the upgrade guide:

 * http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/php/php-upgrading.xml

 * 
 * Messages for package www-apps/drupal-7.12:
 * (server owned) htdocs/files

 * (server owned) htdocs/sites/default

 * (server owned) htdocs/sites/default/settings.php

 * (config) htdocs/sites/default/settings.php

 * (config) htdocs/.htaccess

 * (info) /usr/portage/www-apps/drupal/files/postinstall-en.txt (lang: en)

 *

 * SECURITY NOTICE

 * If you plan on using SSL on your Drupal site, please consult the postinstall information:

 *      # webapp-config --show-postinst drupal 7.12

 *

>>> Auto-cleaning packages...
>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

* Regenerating GNU info directory index... * Processed 135 info files.

Now we need put the required thing right place like below is way to do it:
bhaskar@GentooLinux_14:52:16_Thu Feb 09:~> sudo webapp-config -I -h GentooLinux.localdomain drupal 7.12 * * You may be installing into the website's root directory. * Is this what you meant to do? * * Creating required directories * Linking in required files * This can take several minutes for larger apps * Files and directories installed


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

POST-INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS

=================================================================
You will need to provide a database for your drupal installation.  
This assumes you have some knowledge of MySQL, and already have it

installed and configured. If not, please refer to the Gentoo MySQL

guide at the following URL:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/mysql-howto.xml
Once you have a database ready all you need to do is to go to this

location
http://GentooLinux.localdomain//
and provide the credential required for the database access.
SECURITY NOTICE: If you use SSL on your Drupal installation, you

should enable the PHP configuration option 'session.cookie-secure'

to make it harder for attackers to sniff session cookies.
References:

CVE-2008-3661
http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php#ini.session.cookie-secure
http://drupal.org/node/315703
After that you can start to use drupal.
=================================================================

* Install completed - success

So, what left? the database..lets do it:

bhaskar@GentooLinux_15:05:43_Thu Feb 09:~> sudo mysql -u root -p Enter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 1 Server version: 5.1.61-log Gentoo Linux mysql-5.1.61

We are almost there!! let’s get into the browser for installation:

Now let’s get into the CMS:

Installing Drupal shell a.k.a drush
bhaskar@GentooLinux_20:30:51_Thu Feb 09:~> sudo emerge -av drush Password:


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "drush" have been masked.

!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:

- app-admin/drush-4.4::gentoo (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Hmmm.. problem..let add the keyword file into the system:


bhaskar@GentooLinux_20:31:04_Thu Feb 09:~> sudo vim /etc/portage/package.keywords/drush.keywords
and the content is this :
app-admin/drush ~x86

Let’s try to merge it into the system:

bhaskar@GentooLinux_20:35:49_Thu Feb 09:~> sudo emerge -av drush


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

[ebuild  N     ] dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.9.3  289 kB

Total: 7 packages (7 new), Size of downloads: 605 kB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] yes

So it installed in the system:
bhaskar@GentooLinux_20:39:15_Thu Feb 09:~> whereis drush drush: /usr/bin/drush /usr/share/drush

For using drush from the command line look here for my earlier post about it.

Hope this will help.

Mod_Security and Mod_Evasive implementation and Testing on Scientific Linux

unixbhaskar — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 04:23:38 +0000

Yep,those two module has to be integrated with Apache running on SL.I am wildly expecting people who read this post at least have an idea what is Apache and what module can do;specifically those two modules can do.Anyway if you are really interested to know more about those two modules I would like to urge you people to please visit Apache’s web site(http://apache.org) and mod_security web site(http://www.modsecurity.org/).One more information I go with the default rule come along with it;you might tweak the rules according to your need.

So here we go without much ado..lets dig in..

Step 3:

Like this :
bhaskar@Scientific-Linux_11:04:48_Wed Jan 25:~> sudo vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf # Mod_evasive implementation


DOSHashTableSize 3097

DOSPageCount 5

DOSSiteCount 100

DOSPageInterval 2

DOSSiteInterval 2

DOSBlockingPeriod 10

DOSBlockingPeriod 600

Step 4:

Restart the httpd server
bhaskar@Scientific-Linux_11:06:09_Wed Jan 25:~> sudo /sbin/service httpd restart Stopping httpd: [FAILED] Starting httpd: [ OK ]
It failed in first occassion because it was not running …

Step5:

To test mod_evasive to work or not ..using this perl script to test
#!/usr/bin/perl


# test.pl: small script to test mod_dosevasive's effectiveness
use IO::Socket;

use strict;

for(0..100) { my($response); my($SOCKET) = new IO::Socket::INET( Proto => "tcp", PeerAddr=> "scientific-linux.localdomain:80"); if (! defined $SOCKET) { die $!; } print $SOCKET "GET /?$_ HTTP/1.0\n\n"; $response = ; print $response; close($SOCKET); }

Step 6:
So installing mod_security and enable the log file here ;
root@Scientific-Linux_11:20:03_Wed Jan 25:/var/log/httpd # ls access_log error_log modsec_audit.log modsec_debug.log

Step 7:

Mod_security installaton base:
root@Scientific-Linux_11:21:20_Wed Jan 25:/etc/httpd # cd modsecurity.d/


root@Scientific-Linux_11:21:24_Wed Jan 25:/etc/httpd/modsecurity.d # ls
base_rules  modsecurity_crs_10_config.conf  modsecurity_localrules.conf  optional_rules

Step 8:

Here is the two module file we have installed
root@Scientific-Linux_11:24:37_Wed Jan 25:/etc/httpd/conf.d # ls


mod_evasive.conf  mod_security.conf  README  welcome.conf
Step 9:
Here are the rules files ,which can be adjusted according to our need



root@Scientific-Linux_11:38:01_Wed Jan 25:/etc/httpd/modsecurity.d/base_rules # ls

modsecurity_35_bad_robots.data             modsecurity_46_et_web_rules.data             modsecurity_crs_30_http_policy.conf            modsecurity_crs_41_xss_attacks.conf        modsecurity_crs_49_inbound_blocking.conf

Step 10:
While testing I try to access the etc dir of my local machine by url

How to read content of ELF or object file on GNU/Linux
unixbhaskar — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 06:51:04 +0000
Yep, as the title said of this article. I will show you a little example how easily you can find out the internals of an ELF file or an object file with a utility called readelf, which comes along with all the GNU/Linux distributions.
So without much ado..lets show the actual thing..I am on Slackware and I am trying to inspect the mutt binary file by this utility. Here we go:


bhaskar@Slackware_12:12:41_Wed Dec 07:~> sudo /usr/bin/readelf -h /usr/bin/mutt

ELF Header:

  Magic:   7f 45 4c 46 02 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

  Class:                             ELF64

  Data:                              2's complement, little endian

  Version:                           1 (current)

  OS/ABI:                            UNIX - System V

  ABI Version:                       0

  Type:                              EXEC (Executable file)

  Machine:                           Advanced Micro Devices X86-64

  Version:                           0x1

  Entry point address:               0x40c3c0

  Start of program headers:          64 (bytes into file)

  Start of section headers:          878344 (bytes into file)

  Flags:                             0x0

  Size of this header:               64 (bytes)

  Size of program headers:           56 (bytes)

  Number of program headers:         8

  Size of section headers:           64 (bytes)

  Number of section headers:         28

  Section header string table index: 27


So, you can see the details of the mutt binary..rtt? Now go ahead and read the man page to find out more information about it.It has so many option to filter out so many information to deal with.
Hope this will help.
Cheers!

How to install package by Slackbuild script on Slackware
unixbhaskar — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:24:34 +0000
So,installing package on Slackware is pretty different then other distro.You need to work little more to do that .Fortunately some great guys have done all the hard work for us to do thing in minimal way.In this post I will show you how you can install any package from the Slackbuild.org repository with the help of Slackbuild script. 
So I a going to install a forensic package called “chkrootkit” from that repo and installed in Slackware.First get into this page chkrootkit to get the source of it as well as Slackbuild source too.
Okay ,once obtain those then please untar the SlackBuild one and it should look like below:

bhaskar@Slackware:~/Downloads/chkrootkit$ ls

README  chkrootkit.SlackBuild  chkrootkit.info  chkrootkit.tar.gz  slack-desc


Yes, that tar file inside that directory not come with that Slackbuild source. It’s the other one I have move to that directory,because SlackBuild script require the source of the package should be inside the SlackBuild dir.
Now, next step to execute the SlackBuild script like below:


bhaskar@Slackware:~/Downloads/chkrootkit$ sudo ./chkrootkit.SlackBuild

Slackware package maker, version 3.14159.
Searching for symbolic links:
No symbolic links were found, so we won’t make an installation script.

You can make your own later in ./install/doinst.sh and rebuild the

package if you like.
This next step is optional – you can set the directories in your package

to some sane permissions. If any of the directories in your package have

special permissions, then DO NOT reset them here!

How to add repository to openSUSE
unixbhaskar — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 17:36:02 +0000
This is somewhat important to work with GNU/Linux based distributions. Redhat has different way of doing thing,means adding repositories all though both the system using rpm as the base package. Although the package manager is different,in openSUSE they use zypper as the command line package manager.Here is how you can add a repository to the system. I am adding server monitoring repo…

bhaskar@openSUSE_11:23:49_Sun Oct 23:~> sudo /usr/bin/zypper ar -f -c -n server-mon http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/openSUSE_11.4/ server-mon

Nothing to do.


Yes, I am started to dealing with it after bit of gap..
Okay, now I am going to install a network bandwidth monitoring tool called vnstat out of that repository. Here is how:

So it’s that simple..like wise you can install lot of third party repository into the opensuse system.Here is mine repository list..which I am going to trim later:

How to turn on/off Nagios service/notification by Curl from commandline
unixbhaskar — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 06:05:11 +0000
The content of this writing is just include the steps to perform it from the comamndline. I was stuck few months back with that requirement and my client gave me that code (S)he found in Serverfault site.So I went on to put some wrapper around it to make it more interactive.Although the actual requirement was not like that.
Anyway, here is the piece that do the things for me…I am not sure it might work for you…but trying something uncanny thing is not a bad thing at all…provided it’s not a production base.I must confess Nagios is not my forte…I can manage it to some extents.

curl -d " cmd_mod=2cmd_type=56&host=$HOSTNAME&service=$SERVICENAME&btnSubmit=commit" "Url of the nagios server" "username:password"


Every cmd_type number is paired i.e if up is 56 then down is 57 something like that.Like every other action has different cmd_type number attached to it.Now the biggest thing about this ..you need to know the cmd_type number by looking the browser nagios web interface by pointing your cursor over the specific entry. So the above code I put in a wrapper script which basically asking the person to input the hostname, which will be stored in $HOSTNAME variable and the service name ,which will store in the $SERVICENAME variable and of course the cmd_type. Then it will perform the task and show the result in the terminal itself. Now you can go back in the browser and check that it got effected.
Now one more time I was asked by the client to fix the downtime of any particular nagios host from the help of above script…oooops a big ooops… because the downtime command take more mandatory parameter along with the standard one.So I had to accommodate that..so I asked help in the forum and someone replied to me..you can find the reply here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6842683/how-to-set-downtime-for-any-specific-nagios-host-for-certain-time-from-commandlin
Hope this help.
Cheers!

How to run google Chrome browser on Gentoo
unixbhaskar — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 04:16:07 +0000
I started to write this post Jan 19,2011 and left it there until I finished it today.Delay caused by various reason..Yep almost six months…so..
My quest to run it(google chrome browser) on Gentoo get a step back when I saw that the source for that software were quite big and intimidating(almost 132MB!!) .So for a slow connection it is quite a heck of a job to fetch the source through emerge and then long long really long compile time on my Core 2 Duo processor.After a bit of search I came across an article shows me the different way of doing it.
So I am trying to follow that instruction and try it myself on my Gentoo box.Here we go:
Fist to get the unstable deb package from the google chrome site  . Once you agreed to lincense it will give you the opportunity to download it.
So once I did that,means that package is downloaded then I started to work with it.I have downloaded it in the Download directory of my home .Here is the that :


bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:36:22_Wed Jan 19:~/Downloads> ls

README_FIRST.txt  feedjit.php  feedjit.php.png  feedjit.zip  google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb 


O yeah you are spotting it right ;it’s a Debian package.So let’s move on and unpack it.



bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:39:33_Wed Jan 19:~/Downloads> ar x google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb



So running ar with option x inflated few files ..like below;


bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:42:17_Wed Jan 19:~/Downloads> ls

README_FIRST.txt  ar  control.tar.gz  data.tar.lzma  debian-binary  feedjit.php  feedjit.php.png  feedjit.zip  google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb


Now we will explode the data section of the package like below:


bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:46:41_Wed Jan 19:~/Downloads> tar xvf data.tar.lzma

./

./usr/

./usr/bin/

./usr/share/

./usr/share/man/

./usr/share/man/man1/

./usr/share/man/man1/google-chrome.1

./usr/share/gnome-control-center/

./usr/share/gnome-control-center/default-apps/

./usr/share/gnome-control-center/default-apps/google-chrome.xml

./usr/share/menu/

./usr/share/menu/google-chrome.menu

./usr/share/applications/

./etc/

./etc/cron.daily/

./etc/cron.daily/google-chrome

./opt/

./opt/google/

./opt/google/chrome/

./opt/google/chrome/product_logo_128.png

./opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

./opt/google/chrome/product_logo_24.png

./opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so

./opt/google/chrome/google-chrome.desktop

./opt/google/chrome/xdg-settings

./opt/google/chrome/chrome-sandbox

./opt/google/chrome/chrome

./opt/google/chrome/product_logo_16.png

./opt/google/chrome/chrome.pak



…..skim out for readability.So we got this listing ;


bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:49:27_Wed Jan 19:~/Downloads> ls

README_FIRST.txt  control.tar.gz  data.tar.lzma  debian-binary  etc  feedjit.php  feedjit.php.png  feedjit.zip  google-chrome-unstable_current_i386.deb  ls  opt  usr


Now we move the opt dir to the filesystem /opt location…



bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:51:36_Wed Jan 19:~/Downloads> sudo cp -v opt/google/chrome/ /opt/ -r


Then link to /usr/bin



bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:57:34_Wed Jan 19:/opt/chrome> sudo ln -s chrome /usr/bin/


Now the crucial jon at hand to link the library manually..if you made little mistake it will comaplain. Here we go:



bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:57:34_Wed Jan 19:/opt/chrome> sudo ln -s chrome /usr/bin/

bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:57:58_Wed Jan 19:/opt/chrome> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nss/libnss3.so.12 /usr/lib/libnss3.so.1d

bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_10:00:41_Wed Jan 19:/opt/chrome> ln -s /usr/lib/nss/libnssutil3.so.12 /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d

ln: failed to create symbolic link `/usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d': Permission denied

bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_10:01:24_Wed Jan 19:/opt/chrome> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nss/libnssutil3.so.12 /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d

bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_10:02:30_Wed Jan 19:/opt/chrome> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nspr/libplds4.so.7 /usr/lib/libplds4.so.0d

bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_10:05:00_Wed Jan 19:/opt/chrome> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nspr/libplc4.so.7 /usr/lib/libplc4.so.0d

bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_10:05:32_Wed Jan 19:/opt/chrome> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nspr/libnspr4.so.7 /usr/lib/libnspr4.so.0d


Ok ,done the hard work..it’s time to launch it from the terminal first..but wait it was throwing some errors!! So I was not able to run it successfully.And not looked at it for long time due to various reasons. 
Now I have stumbled over some article in the net and which tell that chromium is available from the standard repo.So I do not waste my time and start to fetching it…as mentioned above it takes long time with the slow connection.Patience is the key.So got this first time;



bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:11:48_Sat Jun 18:~> sudo emerge -av chromium

Password:

(dependency required by "www-client/chromium-11.0.696.71" [ebuild])

(dependency required by "chromium" [argument])


Then as usual I put the required thing in /etc/portage/package.use and fetch the required software thorough emerge.
Okay,once done I started to fetch Chromium from the repo like below:

bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_09:50:13_Sat Jun 18:~> sudo emerge -av chromium

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y


Now once it done( O yeah! after waiting for the source to get downloaded with a slow conn!),I was trying to get it run from the standard gnome menu.But was not coming up.So the next natural instinct come into play to see it on the terminal by running that binary. Yep! it does reveal some output ,which made me think what is causing this..although I can have everything in place..here is the output it is throwing :


bhaskar@bhaskar-laptop_18:15:58_Sat Jun 18:~> sudo /usr/bin/chromium

chromium-browser: /opt/xulrunner/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.3' not found (required by chromium-browser)

chromium-browser: /opt/xulrunner/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12' not found (required by chromium-browser)


Many of you might find it very easy to resolve it,my case was different(as I am not blessed with sharp brain) so takes time for me to find out what exactly going on.After some googling and hovering over my system to lookout for some specific details here and there ,I found out that the culprit is “xulrunner-bin“,which is restricting the chrome binary to see the right NSS version.
So the next obvious step would be to get rid of it from the system,because it is interfering with other program to run properly.
