Since its launch in October 2004 Ubuntu has become one of the most highly regarded Linux distributions with millions of users in homes, schools, businesses and governments around the world. Ubuntu is Open Source software, costs nothing to download.

Ubuntu says the release of 7.04 almost 18 months old, that is on April 19, 2007. As with the earlier releases, Ubuntu committed to ongoing security and critical fixes for a period of 18 months. The support period is now nearing its end and Ubuntu 7.04 will reach end of life on Sunday, October 19th, 2008. At that time, Ubuntu Security Notices will no longer include information or updated packages for Ubuntu 7.04.

The supported upgrade path from Ubuntu 7.04 is via Ubuntu 7.10. Instructions and caveats for the upgrade may be found here…

Note that upgrades to version 8.04 LTS and beyond are only supported in multiple steps, via an upgrade first to 7.10, then to 8.04 LTS. Both Ubuntu 7.10 and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS continue to be actively supported with security updates and select high-impact bug fixes.

Network File System [NFS] is a very effective way of sharing files and data across your Unix/Linux network. NFS offers a neat functionality that fits perfectly into the Unix/Linux filesystem. Simply mount a directory off another machine on your network and read from or write to it; even run applications from it, that’s completely transparent!

Following are the steps to achieve NFS facility in your network.

You need to set up two kinds of services of NFS that is NFS Server at file sharing server and NFS Clint at Clint or user side servers.

Setting Up an NFS Server:

-Install NFS-Server application in servers which ever you want to share. Using following commands.

apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
or
yum install nfslock portmap nfs

-Place an entry in /etc/exports

/usr/local   192.168.0.1(ro) 192.168.0.2(ro)
/home      192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw)

Here we are sharing ‘/usr/local’ with read-only and ‘/home’ with write permission. We can also specify network mask for allowing a group of network computers  or each IP as shown above to allow specified IP to access this folders.

-If you come back and change your /etc/exports file, the changes you make may not take effect immediately. You should run the command ‘exportfs –ra’ to force
nfsd to re-read the /etc/exports file.

-You may need to set /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
These two files specify which computers on the network can use services on your machine. Each line of the file contains a single entry listing a service and a set of machines. When the server gets a request from a machine, Its not compulsory if your are not using it.

-The NFS server is configured and we can start it running.

/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server stop
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start

Now we have setup NFS Server to share or get the shared NFS files. We need to set up following steps in Clint servers or PC

Setting up an NFS Client:

-Install NFS-Clint application in servers. Using following commands for this.

apt-get install nfs-common
or
yum install nfslock portmap nfs

-Mount the remote directory from your server just the way you mount a local hard drive, with the mount command.

mount 192.168.0.10:/home /mnt/home

Make sure you have created ‘/mnt/home’ directory before mounting it.

-To un-mount you need to run following command

umount /mnt/home

-NFS file systems can be added to your /etc/fstab file, same way as local file systems, so that nfs mounts when your system starts up. For this you need to enter following entry in fstab.

192.168.0.10:/home  /mnt/home    nfs          rw            0    0

These are the simple steps to set up NFS mount; there are lots of options and steps and configurations to set NFS in little more effective manner, also can set fstab and export file configurations for more flexible NFS functionality.

• Linux File Sharing in Windows as normal File Sharing

Yes that’s true you can share files of Linux and windows machines like normal windows file sharing.
By Running SAMBA on a Linux machine you can achieve this.
Following are the simple steps to set this.

Install Samba using ‘apt-get’ or ‘yum’, like running following command in Linux box or servers.

‘apt-get install samba‘
or
‘yum install samba‘

So installation is done. Okay now you need to set up a folder to sharing, user name and password by editing ‘/etc/samba/smb.conf‘ file.

• Setting network

interfaces = 192.168.0.1/24 127.0.0.1/24
bind interfaces only = Yes

By setting this SAMBA will run only on the internal interface.

• Setting Password

File access permissions for the shares to work, you have to set up the SAMBA username/password by running smbpasswd on the linux box.

smbpasswd <your linux username>

You should use username/password created above in Windows machine to file sharing.

• Setting up shared folders

[myfile]
comment = My shared files and folders
path = /home/jithonline
read only = no

Then, on the windows machine access it as \\10.0.3.10\ where 10.0.3.10 is the IP address of the linux machine use the password you set using smbpasswd to login.

If you want to share CD/DVD drive

[dvd]
comment = dvd drive on Linux Box
writable = No
locking = No
path = /mnt/cdrom2

Now restart the samba using

/etc/init.d/samba stop
/etc/init.d/samba start

That’s it, all about Linux file sharing in Windows with SAMBA.

Very similar to Google Sky, WorldWide Telescope is a web app that brings together imagery from ground- and space-based observatories across the world to allow people to explore the night sky through their computers.

Collections include pictures from the Hubble and Spitzer telescopes, as well as the Chandra X-Ray Observatory.

The web-based tool also allows users to pan and zoom around the planets, and trace their locations in the night sky.

The application itself is a blend of software and Web 2.0 services created with the Microsoft Visual Experience Engine, which claims to allow “seamless panning and zooming around the heavens with rich image environments”.

WorldWide Telescope stitches together terabytes of high-resolution images of celestial bodies and displays them in a way that relates to their actual position in the sky.

WorldWide Telescope Software minimum system requirements

* Microsoft XP SP2 (minimum), Windows Vista
* 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM; 2 GB RAM recommended
* 3D accelerated card with 128 megabytes (MB) RAM; discrete graphics card with dedicated 256-MB VRAM recommended for higher performance

Yes that’s true you can setup your mail server for your own domain, absolutely free with Google!! As we know Google having mind blowing mail servers; you will be getting IMAP, POP, Mail forwarding ….etc for free and we can trust Google and they are with us for a long time now. So here are the simple 8 steps you need to follow to setup your mail server with Google.

1) Go to Google Apps and sign up for a standard account for your domain.

2) Once you provide your info, Google will take you to your control panel/Dashboard.

3) Note that Google needs to verify that you own your domain. So click on the link to verify your domain ownership.

4) At this point there are two ways of verifying ownership, HTML and CNAME method you can use any one of this which ever convenient for you.

5) Now setting Google apps as your mail server, by using this people can send mail to ‘userid@yourdomain.com’ and it will get routed to Google apps. If you need this, then sign in to your domain hosting service and go to the DNS panel for your domain and add the following to the MX (Mail Exchanger) section. Make sure you delete the default MX entry that is already there by default. If you don’t have access to MX you need to contact your Hosting providers to set this.

Priority        Mail Server

1             ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
5             ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
5             ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
10           ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
10           ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
10           ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
10           ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.

If hosting provider allowing only one or three MX, then choose first 1 or 3. You can use priority as same.

6) Wait a couple of hours to settle DNS (This depends up on hosting providers). There will be a default email address which ever you passed while signing up this will be master account. If you need one more email account then go to your Google apps dashboard and “User accounts>> Create a new user” and add new email account. Also activate your Email.

7) In the “Service settings >> Email” menu you can change web addresses for accessing Email. For this create a CNAME and modify URL. This URL can be used to login to mail box (ie: click on “Service settings >> Email” menu and change the default web address to http://email.yourdomain.com or whatever you used for CNAME)

To use the custom URL email.yourdomain.com, you must change the CNAME record with your domain host.

a) Sign in to your domain hosting service.

b) Navigate to your DNS Management page. Generally be found in Domain Management or Advanced Settings, if not you need to contact your Hosting providers to set this.

c) Find the CNAME settings and enter the following as the CNAME value or alias:

‘email’

d) Set the CNAME destination to the following address:

‘ghs.google.com’

Wait for a couple of hours to settle DNS (This depends up on Hosting providers). Then you can access to login page of your mail box using “http://email.yourdomain.com” or whatever CNAME you set.

How To Remove Google Search Virus warning Alert? This Site may harm Your Computer

If your website is facing similar problem while searching then you need to make sure that..

1) Your ‘.htaccess’ file hacked.

Some one hacked your ‘.htaccess’ file and added malicious redirection codes in to it. What it dose means! It redirects the Google or any other search engine request to malicious domains, so for this you can do one thing like Remove all ‘.htaccess’ which are infected or replace it with original one.

2) Make sure your website is not affiliated with any Mallware related website or activates.

Your site may infected by iframe attack where hackers inserted JavaScript iframe codes into your first or last line of index pages of every folders. This calls an external malicious page in to visitor’s computer and loads nasty programs. The codes will be inserted in encoded format, so look like “%20%77%69%6e” in a file. You need to clean this.

Once you have reviewed your website and are sure it is clean, you can submit a request for re-review your site with google manully as follows.

Using Google Webmaster Tools. (Note: you need to verify site ownership to see this information).

1. Sign in to Webmaster Tools with your Google account.

3. On the Overview page, click Request a review and follow the instructions.

After this Google will review your website manually and, Once they will make sure that it doesn’t host or distribute any type of Malware, they will remove the identification from search results and it will re-index it.

Update:-

I forgot to tell the Reason and Precaution for this problem, here it is …

This can happen for various reasons like:

- poor/compromised account/FTP password, which allows hackers to guess the password [or use brutforce tools] and get unauthorized access.
- user’s computer infected by viruses, which is controlled by hackers. In this situation, customer’s uploads also get infected.
- poor scripts, which allows hackers to insert various malformed queries and remotely execute the code and perform intended action
- Virus effected theme selection for the application
- Installing application which are downloaded form third party sites; mainly not genuine sites.

You will have to ensure that:

- generate a strong password combination [for account, ftp, database etc]
- scan local computer with good antivirus, anti spy ware programs and clean bad programs.
- keep the software up-to-date with vendors/developers, and seek their support/forums for any known vulnerabilities/fixes/workarounds available.

• A New Critical Hole In Windows Vista

IBM announced the first working static random access memory (SRAM) for the 22nm (nanometer) technology node. A nanometer is one one-billionth of a meter or about 80,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. Worlds first and ever reported smallest working SRAM cell.

The SRAM cell utilizes a conventional six-transistor design and has an area of 0.1um2, breaking the previous SRAM scaling barriers. SRAM cell size is a key technology metric in the semiconductor industry, and this work demonstrates IBM and its partners’ continued leadership in cutting-edge process technology.

The iPhone’s Mail and Safari browser applications  could leave owners to a URL spoofing vulnerability, which may allow attackers to conduct phishing attacks against the phone’s users.

By creating a specially crafted URL, and sending it via an e-mail, an attacker can convince the user that the spoofed URL, shown in the mail application, is from a trusted domain, such as a bank, PayPal or a social network.

When the iPhone user clicks on the URL, the Safari browser will be opening the spoofed URL, but still be viewed by the victim as if it is from a trusted domain.

The iPhone user will then be open to phishing attacks as they will enter private information, such as passwords, because they believe they are on the real site and not a fake.

Security researcher Aviv Raff also says. In addition, a security design flaw means the iPhone’s Mail application is also spammable.

iPhone Mail and Safari on firmware 1.1.4 and 2.0 are affected by this vulnerability. Earlier versions may also be affected, said Aviv Raff.

Samsung says, one of the world’s smallest high-resolution cameras yet. Although capable of 8-megapixel shots, the this camera is roughly as wide as a coin and a third of an inch thick, allowing it to fit into far thinner and more compact phones than even many 5-megapixel cameras. The sensor is also more powerful than most at its size with up to ISO 1600 light sensitivity, anti-blur and noise correction, and both face and smile detection for portraits.

Samsung says the camera will be used both in Korea and abroad, in mobile phones as well as digital cameras and other portable media devices.

Production samples arrived in market with products containing the tiny camera in consumer’s hands in the second half of the year like innov8.

Mozilla patched nine security vulnerabilities in Thunderbird.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.16, which was added to Mozilla’s download servers also quashes nine bugs, including one that was patched in Firefox last week, the company’s open-source browser. The remainder fix flaws that were first addressed in early July when Mozilla updated Firefox to version 2.0.0.15.

Seven of the nine bugs were rated moderate by Mozilla, the second-lowest of the four rankings in its threat system. The other two were low.

The bug patched in Thunderbird 23rd Jul that was fixed in Firefox before it was in the browser rendering engine’s CSSValue array data structure. According to Mozilla, the vulnerability could be used by hackers to force a crash, and from there, run malicious code. Several other just-patched Thunderbird vulnerabilities could also be used by attackers to execute code remotely.

Thunderbird 2.x, like its browser sibling, is on the way out. Most of Mozilla’s attention is now on Thunderbird 3.0, which has been available as an Alpha 1 preview for more than two months.

Users can download Thunderbird in versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux from the Mozilla site, the e-mail client’s built-in updater or wait for the automatic update notification.

}

define contactgroup{

}

##You can add as many as url’s need like bellow
define host{

alias      Jithesh
address    www.jithesh.com
use        generic-host
}

define host{

address    www.jithonline.com
use        generic-host
}

#### Hostgroup_name ###

members         *
}

# A list of your servers
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name    servers
alias           Servers
members         jithesh.com, jithonline.com  #Add all host_name here
}

- services.cfg: Defines the services that will be monitored for each URL.

## Hostgroups services ##
define service {
hostgroup_name                 servers
service_description             HTTP
check_command                 check_http
use                             generic-service
notification_interval           0
}

define service {
hostgroup_name                 servers
service_description             PING
check_command                 check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
use                             generic-service
notification_interval           0
}

define service {
hostgroup_name                 servers
service_description             FTP
check_command                 check_ftp
use                             generic-service
notification_interval           0
}

define service {
hostgroup_name                 servers
service_description             POP
check_command                 check_pop
use                             generic-service
notification_interval           0
}

define service {
hostgroup_name                 servers
service_description             IMAP
check_command                 check_imap
use                             generic-service
notification_interval           0
}

define service {
hostgroup_name                 servers
service_description             SMTP
check_command                 check_smtp
use                             generic-service
notification_interval           0
}

- templates.cfg: Defines some templates like the generic url, generic service and a lot of others custom templates.

In the default installation you will find files named generic-host_nagios2.cfg, generic-service_nagios2.cfg and there might be others. Just with copy and paste them into /etc/nagios2/mysite directory it will work OK. Anyway, I prefer to put the definitions on each of them into a single file called templates.cfg, but that’s a personal preference.

- timeperiods.cfg: Defines time periods which are valid for checks, notifications, etc.

The default configuration file is OK, so just copy and paste it from /etc/nagios2/conf.d/timeperiods_nagios2.cfg to /etc/nagios2/mysite/timeperiods.cfg.

So we have done with all configuration stuffs.

3)  Restart the Nagios service:

# /etc/init.d/nagios2 restart
If there is any configuration error Nagios will tell you where it is when you attempt to restart the service.

4) Monitor your URLs

By opening Nagios in browser
http://<nagios_server_host>/nagios2
user name:-nagiosadmin
passwd:-<set passwd> Most of the case root passwd itself

If you still having problems, don’t hesitate to post comment.
