OSX: ClickToFlash for Safari

在Linux下不論是使用Google Chrome或是Firefox，帽客都習慣安裝個外掛程式來把Flash block起來，原因是Flash實在是太吃CPU的resource了，尤其是在小筆電上開網頁跑Flash時是一件很痛苦的事情，今天花了一點時間找到了一個在OSX上for Safari的好工具來block Flash，使用過後整台Mac的效率提昇了不少，ClickToFlash實在是個好工具！老G4請繼續撐下去吧！

Install Skype on OpenSUSE 11.2 64bit

安裝Skype於OpenSUSE 11.2 64bit版本時發現到無法正常啟動，錯誤訊息如下:

./skype: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

解決的方法:

zypper install libQtGui.so.4z

搞定802.11X

搞了一陣子，總算把802.11x的環境在家裡架了起來。
Test Environment:

- Windows XP SP3: 802.11x with PEAP and import CA that generated from FreeRADIU Server.
- OpenSUSE 11.2: 802.11x with PEAP and import CA that generated from FreeRADIUS Server.
- AP: Authentication via the Radius Server and configured data encrypt method as WPA2-AES.
- FreeRADIUS: Support PEAP as default.

總算是成功了:

To implement FreeRADIUS for LDAPs

架設流程：
Step1 ~ Step4 參考上次推薦的文章就可以架設起來，然而要實現FreeRADIUS for LDAPs只需要執行Step5就可以完成了，事實上也只是改變幾個參數。
1. To establish LDAP Server
2. To establish FreeRADIUS
3. To configure FreeRADIUS for LDAP
4. To establish LDAPs (TLS)
5. To establish FreeRADIUS for LDAPs:

修改step3中的radiusd.conf，讓FreeRADIUS知道要用LDAPs做認證。
# vi /etc/radiusd.conf
........................
ldap {
# set this to 'yes' to use TLS encrypted connections
# to the LDAP database by using the StartTLS extended
# operation.
# The StartTLS operation is supposed to be used with normal
# ldap connections instead of using ldaps (port 689) connections
start_tls = yes
tls_cacertfile = /etc/openldap/cacerts/client.pem
#tls_cacertdir = /usr/local/etc/openldap/ssl/
# tls_certfile = /path/to/radius.crt
# tls_keyfile = /path/to/radius.key
# tls_randfile = /path/to/rnd
tls_require_cert = "demand"
........................
}

測試:
於Server端執行radiusd -X，並於Client端透過radtest做驗證，以下是Server端的log：
rad_recv: Access-Request packet from host x.x.x.x:32896, id=190, length=60

介紹LDAP與FreeRADIUS的好文章

找到一篇介紹透過LDAP與FreeRADIUS做Linux系統帳號集中管理的方法，寫得挺不錯的，收藏起來。

Centralized Logins Using LDAP and RADIUS

Autoexpect Scenario

Autoexpect固然方便，但是很多時候還是必須手動改正Autoexpect所錄製過的script才能順利運行，以下將透過SSH登入本機後執行vmstat的指令來說明：

1. 執行Autoexpect：

# autoexpect

此時系統會產生一個autoexpect的shell環境，並將使用者的動作紀錄起來，離開時請輸入exit指令，之後系統會產生個script.exp的紀錄檔（By default）。

2. 執行script.exp：

lawrence@X60:~/Desktop> ./script.exp

spawn /bin/bash

lawrence@X60:~/Desktop> ssh root@127.0.0.1

Password:

此時會發覺停留在輸入Password:而不再有進一步的動作，這是為何呢？

3. 查看並修正script.exp：

原始script.exp（僅截取錄製的部份）:

set timeout -1

spawn $env(SHELL)

match_max 100000

expect -exact "]2;lawrence@X60:~/Desktop]1;X60lawrence@X60:~/Desktop> "

send -- "ssh root@10"

expect -exact [K"

send -- ""

expect -exact [K"

send -- "127.0.0.1\r"

expect -exact "127.0.0.1\r

The authenticity of host '127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.\r

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? "

send -- "yes\r"

expect -exact "yes\r

send -- "1234\r"

expect -exact "\r

expect -exact "logout\r

Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed.\r\r

]2;lawrence@X60:~/Desktop]1;X60lawrence@X60:~/Desktop> "

send -- "exit\r"

expect eof

問題1:

The authenticity of host '127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.\r

RSA key fingerprint is fa:19:31:7a:ac:04:41:af:4c:38:b7:58:16:a3:14:f8.\r

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? "

預設SSH Server/Client連接時，會去紀錄對方的金鑰，也就是因為這個原因，讓expect沒有得到預期的輸出，因為SSH第n次連線後就不需要紀錄彼此的金鑰了。

問題2:

Last login: Fri Mar 12 17:06:12 2010\r\r

Have a lot of fun...\r

^[\[1m^[\[31mX60:~ # ^[(B^[\[m"

每次登入系統的時間一定會是不一樣的，所以把它也註解掉。

問題3:

procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- -----cpu------\r

r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa st\r

14 0 25644 20660 26124 464024 0 1 17 23 881 255 7 3 89 1 0\r

0 0 25644 20148 26124 464536 0 0 0 0 1725 2206 6 2 93 0 0\r

0 0 25644 20404 26124 464264 0 0 0 0 1877 2234 3 3 95 0 0\r

0 0 25644 20404 26124 464224 0 0 0 0 1736 2186 4 1 95 0 0\r

0 0 25644 20404 26124 464224 0 0 0 0 1628 2168 3 2 95 0 0\r

^[\[1m^[\[31mX60:~ # ^[(B^[\[m"

當然不需要上一次vmstat的輸出結果，所以也需要註解掉。

修改過後：

set timeout -1

spawn $env(SHELL)

match_max 100000

expect -exact "]2;lawrence@X60:~/Desktop]1;X60lawrence@X60:~/Desktop> "

send -- "ssh root@10"

expect -exact [K"

send -- ""

expect -exact [K"

send -- "127.0.0.1\r"

expect -exact "Password: "

send -- "1234\r"

expect -exact "#"

send -- "vmstat -n 1 5\r"

expect -exact "#"

send -- "ex"

expect -exact [K"

send -- ""

expect -exact [K"

send -- "logout\r"

expect -exact "logout\r

Connection to 127.0.0.1 closed.\r\r

]2;lawrence@X60:~/Desktop]1;X60lawrence@X60:~/Desktop> "

send -- "exit\r"

expect eof

4. 執行：

lawrence@X60:~/Desktop> ./script2.exp

spawn /bin/bash

lawrence@X60:~/Desktop> ssh root@127.0.0.1

Password:

Last login: Mon Mar 22 16:11:29 2010 from localhost

Have a lot of fun...

Autoexpect雖然有以上的小缺點，但還是能加快script開發的速度。

於Linux中偵測HD溫度

於原文eliu兄分享的方法延伸出再多一點的應用如下：

1. 將HD溫度每60秒紀錄在/var/log/message中：

# hddtemp -d /dev/hda -S 60

Mar 19 15:08:54 server hddtemp[3253]: /dev/hda: ST320011A: 33 C

Mar 19 15:09:54 server hddtemp[3253]: /dev/hda: ST320011A: 33 C

2. 開機時啟動hddtemp：

# vi /etc/sysconfig/hddtemp

HDDTEMP_OPTIONS="-l 192.168.0.1 -d /dev/hda -S 60"

#-l: listen on a specific interface (in TCP/IP daemon mode)

#-d: run hddtemp in TCP/IP daemon mode (port 7634 by default.)

#-S: log temperature to syslog every s seconds.

# /etc/init.d/hddtemp start

# chkconfig hddtemp on

3. 透過另一台主機即時監看HD溫度：

# while true; do date +%F-%H-%M-%S;nc 192.168.0.1 7634;echo"";sleep 1; done

To configure vendor specific information on Linux DHCP Server

This article will to explain how to configure the vendor specific information i.e., option 43 on Linux DHCP Server, maybe I'll use this function in the future.

Step1. To open and modify /etc/dhcpd.conf

1 ddns-update-style interim;

2 ignore client-updates;

3 option opt-43 code 43 = ip-address;

4

5 subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

6

7 # --- default gateway

8 option routers 192.168.1.1;

9 option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

10

11 option nis-domain "domain.org";

12 option domain-name "domain.org";

13 option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;

14

15 option time-offset -18000; # Eastern Standard Time

16 # option ntp-servers 192.168.1.1;

17 # option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1;

18 # --- Selects point-to-point node (default is hybrid). Don't change this unless

19 # -- you understand Netbios very well

20 # option netbios-node-type 2;

21

22 range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.128 192.168.1.254;

23 default-lease-time 21600;

24 max-lease-time 43200;

25 option opt-43 = "192.168.1.100";

26

27 # we want the nameserver to appear at a fixed address

28 #host ns {

29 # next-server marvin.redhat.com;

30 # hardware ethernet 12:34:56:78:AB:CD;

31 # fixed-address 207.175.42.254;

32 #}

33 }

Step 2. Restart DHCP Server:

# /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart

# chkconfig dhcpd on

Step 3. Identify via packets record tool:

題外話:

前幾天在家做了個測試，將位於3F的3com AP 7760的Power mode由Minimum設定成Full，然後跑到1F發現到laptop依然可以連接上AP，線上播放Youtube的Flash video還算流暢，瀏覽網頁還好，沒有很頓的感覺，訊號強度還有25%，這台AP應該是SISO的架構，有這樣的表現實在是很不錯，不過AP與我房間只有一牆之隔，所以還是把它改回到minimum了。

另外也把加密方法由WEP改成WPA2-AES了，我可不想被卡皇或螞蟻戰車這樣類似的破解AP加密的設備破解後，變成好鄰居AP呀～

[Shell Script] 長時間測試FTP穩定度

Script:

1 #!/bin/bash

2 while (true)

3 do

4 lftp $1 -u ftp,ftp -e "cd /pub;get file;bye"

5 lftp $1 -u ftp,ftp -e "cd /pub;put file;bye"

6 done

Explain:

Line4: 以ftp account登入到FTP Server，並透過-e的指令將多個指令合併依序執行(切換到pub/抓取file/登出FTP)。

Line5: 以ftp account登入到FTP Server，並透過-e的指令將多個指令合併依序執行(切換到pub/上傳file/登出FTP)。

How to execute:

server1:~/bin # ./ftpcon.sh 192.168.0.1

透過此script可以對DUT不間斷的做FTP下載與上傳的動作，FYI。

當然如果要做更advance的測試，建議用curl-loader應該會更好一點。

RHEL6

首先，真是好久沒有寫blog了！不是帽客懶而是最近公司的project還蠻緊的，所以無暇更新腦中的知識於blog上。

今天下午稍可喘息，想想Redhat曾對外宣稱2010 Q1會發表RHEL6，可是現在怎麼還是沒消息呢？

上google找了找，看一看，目前最新的版本是RHEL 5.5 beta，然後RHEL6預計要在Fedora13後release。（for details: Redhat Enterprise Linux wiki）

看來還得等一陣子。

帽客想說背個好一點的包包吧，加上目前在台灣Porter包還蠻多人背的，品質應該很不錯，結果上星期五跑去忠孝SOGO買了一款不便宜的Porter包(大約快六張小朋友)，沒想到這是International Porter....老實說買之前我根本沒做功課，誰知道台灣與日本Porter會有這段恩怨呢？哈～苦笑中。

我現在只期望雖品質沒日製的好(網路上大家都這麼說 Orz)，但也能讓我操個三年吧！暗藍色的顏色我還蠻喜歡的說，雖然它是International... 再次Orz.
