Hi everybdy

I hav configured sendmail mail server. Now squirrel mail (Client) is
also working properly with this server. But i want to make my own
customized interface rather than squirrelmail. So i got a tutorial in
an e-book. The tutorial is given ahead. Now the problem is that i hav
php already installed on my linux machine and according to tutorial i
need to compile the php again. But i don't know how.
I am using RHEL 4 and php is installed at the time wen linux was
installed.



Tutorial :


IMAP, POP3 and NNTP functions
Introduction

These functions are not limited to the IMAP protocol, despite their
name. The underlying c-client library also supports NNTP, POP3 and
local mailbox access methods.
Requirements

This extension requires the c-client library to be installed. Grab the
latest version from ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/ and compile it.

You have to copy some files to make sure they are in your link path
(e.g.: /usr/local/lib/) and include directory (e.g.:
/usr/local/include). The files to copy can be found in the source tree
under imap-200x/c-lient after a succesfull run of make. Copy
c-client.a to /usr/local/lib/libc-client.a or some other directory on
your link path.

Note: Make sure c-client.a ends up in your link path under the
name libc-client.a.

Copy the following files to /usr/local/include or some other directory
in your include path.

c-client.h
imap4r1.h
rfc822.h
mail.h
linkage.h
env.h
env_unix.h
fs.h
ftl.h
misc.h
nntp.h
nl.h
osdep.h
smtp.h
tcp.h

Note: The name of env_unix.h depends on your OS. Make sure to copy
this files with following symlinks option. To build the c-client
library with SSL or/and Kerberos support read the docs supplied with
the package.

(I have done upto here only. Problem begins from onwards)

Installation

To get these functions to work, you have to compile PHP with
--with-imap=[DIR], where DIR is the c-client install prefix.

Note: Depending how the c-client was configured, you might also
need to add --with-imap-ssl=/path/to/openssl/ and/or
--with-kerberos=/path/to/kerberos into the PHP configure line.



I don't know how to do installation step. Please Help me.

I don't know the answer to your other questions, but
to the best of my knowledge the Linux kernel is almost
exactly the size of one floppy.
Maybe this sounds ignorant, but maybe you could save
time by going to the
kernel archive and downloading an older and smaller
kernel. That way it's
guaranteed stable by much testing.

Cheers,
Jonathan

LUGs, FSUGs, GLUGs... vital to the movement
-------------------------------------------

By Frederick Noronha

Someone once again asked, recently, that ever-so-important
question. How do you start and run an active user-group?
Without exaggeration, the GLUG (GNU/Linux User Group), FSUG
(Free Software User Group) or LUG (Linux User Group) is vital
to the Free Software movement in India.

It's not enough just to have a user-group that is premised on
a what's-in-it-for-me approach. Going to LUG meetings to
learn is fine; but unless we actively and aggressively promote
the values of sharing, we can't really expect much. We need
to share not just software, but also knowledge and
information... and, above all, a helpful attitude.

We seen it happen with some of India's groups. After growing
upto a point, a lot of the members get more caught up with
their own high-pressure work, and their lives. After some
time, a user-group that is built largely on getting the most
value for oneself isn't sustainable. So a user-group with a
lot of tech gurus and little of a spirit to share is doomed.

That, to one's mind, is the difference between the Free BSD,
the Open Source, and the Free Software movements. Free BSD
is technically excellent; but with its limited emphasis on
building community, is it any wonder why it has so few
adhere ants even in a country of one-billion plus? Open Source
tends to focus more on the argument of technical excellence.
So, is it accidental that building a sharing culture -- where
people feel strongly about the "ethics" and politics of
software -- takes a back seat? To one's mind, where we have
reached has depended vastly on seemingly-intractable
attitudes of hard-to-shake individuals like Richard "RMS"
Stallman.

It takes just a handful of determined individuals to build a
successful user-group. But you need specific individuals
playing specific roles. One or more to keep track of events,
call meetings. At least a single-person team to keep records,
minute activities, publicise the activities of the group and
so on.

Friends in the Philippines have an incorporated user-group.
It has directors and other post-holders looking after very
specific tasks -- much like a not-for-profit corporate. But
one needn't be that ambitious. The goal is to somehow get the
job done. It's not important how. In Goa, our LUG has been
running for the past six years; we still don't have
committees in place, or elections. Our principle is that
whoever shows enthusiasm, gets the job done. And it has
worked.

One's own prescription for forming and running an active
user-group is simple. Make sure you have an active
mailing-list; this is critical. Have 3-4 regular persons who
commit to do regular postings to your mailing list. Keep your
list a good balance between tech info, evangelising, and
general information. Tech excellence is fine; but don't
forget about the principles of sharing -- of software,
knowledge and more.

Make sure you have a bank of sharable Free/Open Source
software. Get an interested journalist on board; give your
group a profile in the local media. Link up with larger, more
established LUGs close by. Avoid ego-clashes and flame wars in
your LUG; these things destroy. Keep things informal.

S/he's who is active leads; this principle works. Don't
undervalue plans to reach out to newbies and potential
new members. Have a profile, if possible, in local
computer-related events. Share information promiscuously. It
really helps...

Build critical mass (in terms of having an adequate number of
members) or you won't get started. Branch of into having more
regional user-groups and specialist LUGs just in time. You
can have multiple user-groups in one state or city.

Don't fear friendly forks; two user-groups can often be
better than one! Pay attention to colleges and educational
institutions; they love free seminars, sharable software.
Focus on areas of specialist interest -- Free Software and
education, e-governance, small businesses, hardware vendors
and assemblers, and non-profits, among others.

Here's looking forward to many more active and useful
user-groups across India. We also have among the largest
number in any country in the world. Let's aim for improving
quality too.

Dont use sendmail use postfix or qmail.  Sendmail has very bad history from
security point of view, also configuration files are not easily
understandable.

Start by downloading squirrelamail and going through
the README/INSTALL files.

In short, install squirrelmail in the DocumentRoot
directory of your webserver and run the conf perl
script included with squirrelmail.

I’m not sure that whether the said code will be running on a shared server or not. Though the way suggested seems easier to do in a dedicated kind of environment. Even the Control Panels based on PHP use sudo acted scripts and those based on Perl use suid mode to work.

 

Basically what that article is saying that the sudo needs to be configured to allow certain rights to apache. E.g. you will allow sudo only for useradd command to apache. It doesn’t mean that apache will run as root and thus have all the rights of root user. On the contrary sharing the root password will have larger repercussions.

 

Alternatively, you can use PHP to create a shell script and then set sudo to be able to execute that script only. Again in this case the person can put in other commands too.

 

Well everything has its pros and cons.

But I think the illustrated code is a breach of security in a shared hosting server case.

 

Any virtual domain user can execute root command, granted to apache, using SUDO. Someone can create n number of system users using PHP script.

 

Something should therein SUDO like everytime we need to execute any root command (granted to apache) we need to mention <ROOT PASSWORD> in the line of code (it can be encrypted also - for security measure). That way, only those users can execute the root commands who knows the password also.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong in this regard.

dear all

there are mail filters which act on mails landing to
the server and leaving from the server, and through
which you can define rules and actions:

  *** look for certain pattern in "mail header", and/or
in "mail body"

then define actions:

1. just pass on
2. archive (mail copy)
3. just move in a folder
4. tag a messg
5. delete a mesg ">/dev/null"
6. rank a mesg (what spam filter do)
7. "sensitize" mail filter system based on the user
ranking
8. actions defined on mail size
9. actions defined on source
10. actions defined on destination\
etc

All using simple native tools of Unix/Linux which are
on your linux CD?

Dear

1. First of all your Internet proving server
"192.168.0.1" should be configured as router.

2. You have to decleare gateway 192.168.0.1 in your
machine, which you have done.

After that you should be able to telnet, traceroute,
ssh remote host on the internet from your linux
machine. traceroute is interesting.

As I told you, you will not be able to ping from the
client machine below your linux machines to other side
of the network segment, since you are on "unconnected
ip network" of IP numbers. 192.168... are non
routable. If you still want to ping, you have to
define routes "to and from" other segments, since the
linux kernel do not create routing map for unconnected
ip numbers.

So the ping is not test of your setup, only try
traceroute, and nslookup from the client on network
192.168.10.xxx


your rest of the setup seems ok.

Dear Vipin,

Well dude the kind of thing you require is very difficult to achieve.
Anyways, I think some way it may work. What you need to do is to use another
mail server and then you have to use so technique to send the mails to both
the servers. The users will be allowed POP from one server only and other
will always have the copy. I am not sure, but maybe Moxy
(http://moxy.psychogenic.com/) can help in this case. The best part of this
app is that its for free, no $$$.

The other way you can do is to setup a fetchmail+POP on another server. You
need to run fetchmail with "--keep" option to leave the copy of mail on
server. The users can then POP the mails from this server. The copies of
mails will always be at the original server. You can use hosts.allow
hosts.deny/iptables to block POP access for original mail server from all
but fetchmail server.

As someone suggested, you can use IMAP too, but still users may be able to
delete the messages and they may move them to the local folders too. Then in
that case you will lose the ability to have the copy of mails available on
the server. Still if it servers your purpose the following link may help
settings up Cyrus IMAP (w/SASL):

Imap is superset of pop server. But it does'nt provide
you what you are looking for.  Imap has two big
advantages over pop: 1. you can manipulate folders on
the mail server account, sitting on the client. 2. Low
bandwidth requirements.

LFY, DELHI AND LINUX ASIA... SEEKING COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT:
LINUXForYou editor Rahul Chopra <rahul@...> reminds us
of the forthcoming LinuxAsia event in Delhi. Rahul writes:

           This email is w.r.t. LinuxAsia, and to seek your help
           in building the community side to it.  LinuxAsia has
           managed to become the biggest B2B event, where top
           industry players meet customers at a national level. I
           am tempted to try and see if we can help drive the
           community push further in Delhi through LinuxAsia.

We have planned the following community initiatives for
LinuxAsia 2006:

* The Dot.Org mela where [free software and] open source
   projects will be provided a FREE booth space subject to
   registration and approval by the technical committee.

* The [GNU]Linux Newbie sessions where new comers sit through a
   one hour session, which is presented by the [GNU]Linux/[FL]OSS
   community takes them through a series of presentations, which
   would help the newbies to understand [free software and] open
   source and Linux better, and the benefits associated. We need
   good speakers who WANT TO TAKE LINUX TO THE MASSES, and can do
   a good job at that.

* Free LUG booths where we want more and more LUGs to be
   represented at Delhi to tell the world that India rocks when
   it comes to [GNU]Linux/[FL]OSS.

MORE ABOUT LINUX ASIA: You can submit your conference
proposal for LinuxAsia 2006 till January 8, 2006. Deadlines
for speakers as below:

* January 8, 2006: Proposal deadline
* January 15, 2006: Notification of acceptance to speakers
* January 22, 2006: Final presentation materials due
* February 8, 2006: LinuxAsia 2006 Conference begins

FSF-INDIA DIRECTOR Dr G Nagarjuna <nagarjun@...> of
the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education at the TIFR in
Mumbai, announces that the FSF is entering 2006 with a very
important task, drafting GPLv-3.

         GPLv-2 was released in 1991, and it is the most widely
         used free software license.  During the course of time,
         the computing environments are transforming,
         particularly with the entrance of webservices and
         embedded devices.  In the context of these changes, it
         is possible that user's freedom may not be preserved.

FSF says it is "committed to protect the software freedom even
under the transformed conditions in future." A draft of the
GPL-v3 will be released during the First International Public
GPL-v3 launch conference to be held at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology (MIT) on January 16 and 17, 2006. Dr
Nagarjuna is expected to represent FSF India.

He writes: "I invite the  free software community in India to
actively participate in shaping the new license.  If you would
like to share any specific inputs let us discuss them here in
the list. You may also want to send me your thoughts directly.
Wishing you all a success in protecting software freedom."

NepaLinux IS OUT: It was released on December 22, 2005.
NepaLinux is a Debian and Morphix based GNU/Linux distribution
focused for Desktop usage in Nepali language computing. It
contains applications for Desktop users like: OpenOffice.org,
Nepali Gnome Desktop, Nepali input systems etc.

http://www.nepalinux.org/

It is drawing some early praise too. Our Greek friend Simos
Xenitellis <simos.lists@...> writes: "Congratulations to
everyone contributed in the work! I tried out the Live CD and I
must say I am really impressed with the level of integration and
completeness of localisation. You use a consistent colour theme
through out the LiveCD which means you went to great efforts to
update the icons/backgrouns/logos/etc. Also, every single
message in the menus was localised to Nepali; I had trouble to
navigate on the system :) I took some screenshots in PNG format

Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya (MPP) is the principal archive of
books and periodicals in the Nepali language, the mother tongue
(or lingua franca) of a little over 30 million people of South
Asia. It manages the largest archive in the Nepali language, and
supports the use of Nepali for the social, economic and cultural
advancement of all Nepali. Since January 2004, Madan Puraskar
Pustakalaya undertook the Nepal component of the 30-month long
PAN Localization Project (www.PANL10n.net), a multi-nation
localization project being conducted in Afghanistan, Bangladesh,
Bhutan, Cambodia, Laos, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, with the support
of International Development and Research Center (IDRC), Canada.
This project includes a Nepali GNU/Linux distribution
'NepaLinux' comprising of localized GNOME, OpenOffice.org,
Mozilla suite, and other utilities that include Nepali
Spellchecker, Thesaurus, Nepali Unicode support, etc. This
distribution can be used in Nepali as well in English
environment. Though NepaLinux is basically a live CD it can also
be installed in the computer. The work for the installation
process has been facilitated through the European Commission
supported Bhasha Sanchar Project -- http://www.bhashasanchar.org
-- which is led by the Open University (UK).

NepaLinux is a Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), in
which the source code is open and the users have the freedom to
use, study, modify according to one's needs and redistribute it.
NepaLinux, being a Free/Open Source Software, does not charge
for its software unlike proprietary software, which cost a lot
and also do not allow the users to study, modify, or
redistribute.

Some of the packages included in NepaLinux are Linux Kernel
2.6.12, Gnome 2.10 Desktop Environment, OpenOffice.org 2.0, Gimp
Graphics Editor, IRC Client, Gaim Messenging Tool, Development
Tools (Includes C and C++), Mozilla Suite, GnomeBaker CD/DVD
Burning Utility, Firewall Security, Antivirus, Rootkit and
Sniffer Detection Tool, Image Viewers, Games, etc.

SEARCHING FOR A MEET VENUE? HOW ABOUT DOING IT ONLINE, VIA IRC?
This idea has been doing the rounds on LUGs, FSUGs and GLUGs
across India. It comes from Chennai-based software engineer
Shakthi Kannan <cyborg4k@...> who moots having an
all-India online meet via IRC. Date: Jan 1, 2006. Time 1500 hrs
IST. Channel #gnu-india on irc.freenode.net

Sorry about the short (no?) notice from FN's side. But just
sharing this idea to be taken up in future. Shakthi says: "No
agenda as such. The idea is to get to meet folks from different
FSUGs/GLUGs, get to know what FSUGs/GLUGs have been and are
working on, free software ideas/suggestions/plans/activities for
2006." Useful concept. It was inspired, Shakthi says, after he
heard of Luggers in Mumbai discuss where the next meet be held.

AN EXPAT-HINDU PRIEST-DEBIAN GEEK'S VIEW: Jaldhar H. Vyas
<jaldhar@...> who has the unusual combination of Hindu
priest and Debian geek, is based in the US, and part of La Salle
Debain - http://www.braincells.com/debian/

A great guy to meet with, this 34-year-old was in Bangalore
recently. On going back, Vyas reported that one of the problems
GNU/Linux users in countries like India face is low bandwidth.
Therefore, he argued, a distribution on CD or DVD is preferred
over large network installations or updates. He has found a
sponsor and is looking for a 1-DVD version of the Debian system.

He wrote to FN'sEyeOnGNULinux: "This is for distribution with
the Linux For You Magazine.  So 1 DVD is a must. However if you
want to also distribute DVDs I encourage you wholeheartedly. My
ultimate goal is that no one interested in Debian should be
prevented from trying it due to a lack of access."

           are trying to gather information on actual use of this
           nature -- this is useful to build confidence in
           potential users. Usage can include desktops/laptops
           running Linux and other [Free/Libre and] Open Source
           software, applications running on [GNU]Linux,
           applications which are built using OSS, using OSS
           applications (Koha, Compere, etc)?" M Sasikumar is at

CONVERGENCE OF MOVEMENTS TO FIGHT IPRs ON INFORMATION: GRAIN has
recently been taking an interest in what we have been calling
‘convergence’: the ways in which people are resisting the push
for monopoly rights over information in different sectors. In
this time of unprecendented centralisation of power and control,
resistance is building on many fronts. We couldn’t help
wondering if our various struggles might be more effective if we
found some common ground. http://www.grain.org/convergence/

ONE COMMENT ON FLOSS AND EDUCATION: "Most distributions contain
simple games. But only a few contain programs that are really
good for use with young kids (see the following section). SuSE
Linux has probably the widest selection of games and educational
software. Mandrake is also fairly good, closely followed by
Debian. But Red Hat tends to be the worst of all the major
distributions as it concentrates on being a more technical Linux
system rather than a user-friendly desktop system. Of all the
distributions I've tried."

A friend from Redhat replies: "We are aware of this and are
working on alternatives. We are also working on trimming down
the OS so that it can run on older hardware."

PUBLIC-INTEREST LITIGATION AGAINST BANGALORE ONE: A PIL
against the Bangalore One project's alleged irregularities
has been admitted by the Karnataka High Court, according to a
post from the eGov INDIA <egovindia@...> mailing list.
This Dec 17, 2005 post said what had been challenged was "the
legality of prescribing Microsoft technology which is
proprietary and costed when [Free/Libre and] Open Source
Software was available free. The MoU entered into between the
Government of Karnataka and Microsoft had been challenged in
the Writ Petition." See also:

FREE SOFTWARE ON THE SCREEN: V. Sasi Kumar
<sasi.fsf@...> explains how bridges are being built
between FLOSS and film-makers: "On December 15, we did a
short demonstration of Free Software related to media at the
International Film Festival of Kerala. We showed Blender,
Audacity, Kino, Adore, etc., although we could not really
demonstrate all features of the applications since we did not
have anyone who was experienced in using them. However,
Blender and Adore attracted some attention and a few
professionals talked to us after the demo. I understand that
a couple of other people collected our contact details from
the Kerala State Chalachitra Academy (organisers of the
Festival) later. We had put up a few posters at the major
venue (Kairali-Sree theatre complex) earlier. IFFK is
considered as one of the top ten Film Festivals in the world,
and we are happy that we could get an entry there. We hope to
plan and conduct similar demonstrations in the coming years.
A report on the demo with a couple of photographs will be put
up on our web page soon."
