The /\/ TechDiary

Setting up a subversion server on mandriva is relatively straight forward, but with a simple mind boggle, that cost me a few hours hence this post.

Simple stuff first:

urpmi subversion-server subversion subversion-tools xinetd

That’s it, all installed. Now create an empty repository (still basic stuff).

svnadmin create /var/svn/first_repo

Now the part that fooled me and had me entertained (not) for some hours. The file

/var/svn/first_repo/conf/svnserve.conf

contains the following by default:

### This file controls the configuration of the svnserve daemon, if you

### use it to allow access to this repository. (If you only allow

### access through http: and/or file: URLs, then this file is

### irrelevant.)

### Visit http://subversion.tigris.org/ for more information.

[general]

### These options control access to the repository for unauthenticated

### and authenticated users. Valid values are “write”, “read”,

### and “none”. The sample settings below are the defaults.

### anon-access = none

### auth-access = write

### The password-db option controls the location of the password

### database file. Unless you specify a path starting with a /,

### the file’s location is relative to the directory containing

### this configuration file.

### If SASL is enabled (see below), this file will NOT be used.

### Uncomment the line below to use the default password file.

### password-db = passwd

### The authz-db option controls the location of the authorization

### rules for path-based access control. Unless you specify a path

### starting with a /, the file’s location is relative to the the

### directory containing this file. If you don’t specify an

### authz-db, no path-based access control is done.

### Uncomment the line below to use the default authorization file.

### authz-db = authz

### This option specifies the authentication realm of the repository.

### If two repositories have the same authentication realm, they should

### have the same password database, and vice versa. The default realm

### is repository’s uuid.

### realm = some default realm

[sasl]

### This option specifies whether you want to use the Cyrus SASL

### library for authentication. Default is false.

### This section will be ignored if svnserve is not built with Cyrus

### SASL support; to check, run ’svnserve –version’ and look for a line

### reading ‘Cyrus SASL authentication is available.’

# use-sasl = true

### These options specify the desired strength of the security layer

### that you want SASL to provide. 0 means no encryption, 1 means

### integrity-checking only, values larger than 1 are correlated

### to the effective key length for encryption (e.g. 128 means 128-bit

### encryption). The values below are the defaults.

# min-encryption = 0

# max-encryption = 256

I have boldfaced the lines that tricked me

I read it as (well, skimming it) as sasl was by default disables, hence I did not need to specifically enable passwords from a passwd file. WRONG! To be able to interact with the svn server i had to uncomment the passwd line (and authz, but only if you need more fine grained access control).

Now to have the svn daemon running as a service, edit the xinetd file:

vi /etc/xinet.d/svnserve

I haven’t been able to make svnserve debug log any where, and running it by hand inside strace, did not reveal any sensible info either, so I made my way by starting with a know working configuration and then enabling cfgs one by one.

Hope this page will help some one, if found by google.

Test from maemowordpy

Turned out that I had not noticed that my user name was capitalised when configuring access to my blog. A rather common problem with ‘helpful’ mobile devices.

now lets us see if snapping an image with the built-in camera can also be uploaded? (more…)

Gadget times, yeah , I also got myself an nslu2. Why? Because it is a cheap (~700 euro) way of getting a general purpose linux box, just check out the community.

At first I tried to connect to it from the soekris over a crossed cable, as described here, but that did not work, not sure why.

The I plugged it into a wireless router and connected to it from the old firewall (where the wireless router sits on one subnet, different from 192.168.0.0, and did the same, now it worked:

# route add 192.168.0.1 eth1
# arping -f -I eth1 192.168.0.1; telnet 192.168.0.1 9000

FLASH: 0×50000000 – 0×50800000, 64 blocks of 0×00020000 bytes each.

I tried to give it a local and a server ip fraom the readboot, but after a reboot it was not at that address.

Next endeavor seems to be getting upslug2 for mandriva 2008. Then I shall install openSLUG.

To get upslug2 compiled I had to check it out from svn:

svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/upslug2/trunk upslug2

To compile I had to install autoconf, automake and libtool, gcc-c++ then run (as documented on the upslug2 wiki page).

Next step is to enable the nslu2 in update mode..

Done, easy, and now the flash:

# upslug2 –image=”../slugosbe/slugosbe-4.8-beta-nslu2.bin”

Rebooting… done

I probably did not keep the paper clip in the reset hole for the proper time, because the leds kept blinking for upgrade mode. I flashed it again, and now it went into OK green led state.

Now watching my dhcpd server log (broadcast ping did not make it reveal itself), I could log into it (found the password on the net, reproducing below, just in case it should be taken off the net — suspicious about the port 8000).

5. Step #5: Log into the slug. You can login to the slug through ssh. Type the following at a command prompt after the slug boots: ’ssh -l root xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx’. The IP address will be whatever your DHCP server assigned the slug on boot. If you don’t know how to find this, you can trying a broadcast ping and iteratively check each found address on your network: ‘ping -b 192.168.1.255′ — assuming your network is 192.168.1. If not, adjust accordingly. If you cannot find the IP address of the slug, or don’t have a DHCP server running, then you’re on your own. The slug’s root password is ‘opeNSLUg’. I recommend changing this ASAP. After you login to the slug, you can treat it like a regular linux machine. I’d advise reading up on ‘turnup’ and ‘ipkg’.
6. Step #6: After logging in, run ‘turnup init’. Follow the on-screen instructions, and then do ‘turnup preserve’ and reboot.

Need to reslug. I tried to mv /var /..external disl; ln …. /var, but that apparantly killed it. Hm. next time, the password from above did not work. Ahh, the passwd I made befure turnup preserve was persisted across the flash! (I had changed it after the persist, and the did not last – that took me a while to guess

I think turnup preserve re-saves from ram to flashram. But I will google a bit, stay tuned . Ok, this looked interesting in order to get the nslu2 to use the external disk to boot from

root@ouy:~$ turnup disk -i -s5 /dev/sda1

Yihaa, not I boot from disk not sure if all the below are necessary, but here you go:

root@ouy:~$ touch /.sda1root
root@ouy:~$ turnup disk -s20 /dev/sda1 -t ext3
root@ouy:~$ sync
root@ouy:~$ sync
root@ouy:~$ sync
root@ouy:~$ reboot

(the touch .sda1root was from the wiki page, but the 20 seconds was my guess, that perhaps my 2.5” drive was slower to be recognised than on the soekriss [there is a reason I pulled it out of a laptone earlier on - 5400 rpm is NOT FAST!!]). Not sure about the sync’s either, but that is a good point to be superstitious about :S.

Now we are ready to rock’n'roll:

Last open question, I believe: How do I install apache? I think I need to ad an url i ipkg, so that it will find, e.g. the optoware repos, a few links, to start from next time I have the time and energy. Find packages (includes apache),

Could not resist, this is where to find out how to access the optoware. I works like this:

$ su
# feed=http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/slugosbe/cross/unstable
# ipk_name=`wget -qO- $feed/Packages | awk ‘/^Filename: ipkg-opt/ {print $2}’`
# wget $feed/$ipk_name
# tar -xOvzf $ipk_name ./data.tar.gz | tar -C / -xzvf -
# sed -i -e ’s|/stable|/unstable|’ /opt/etc/ipkg.conf

To install package after bootstrapping (replace with your package name):

# /opt/bin/ipkg-opt update
# /opt/bin/ipkg-opt list
# /opt/bin/ipkg-opt install …

Now with pptp access to the work site, I might as well set up a vpn for accessing the home lan, either over inherently insecure, but very practical wifi, or just to easily jump the other way from work.

One of the possibilities is openSWAN, which has a guide at this link.

TO be updated when there is progress.

UPDATE, no progress :S, just another link. Since provenly pptp works with the client side, I want to just set up a pptp server as described here, for example.

I bought myself a soekris 5501 to replace my noisy power consuming approximately 10 years old dual PII 333 server. This entry will detail parts of the setup. I followed same approach as described on this blog entry.

I had problems with the serial port speed. Initially up to 57600 worked, but after the kernel had loaded only 9600 worked (thought perhaps that is something which can be set somehow? rdev comes to mind from old times, it could set the boot device on a kernel, but I cannot urpmi it to my mandriva, so I cannot follow that line of thought easily).

I connect using cu from the uucp package:

cu -l /dev/ttyS0 -s 9600

a somewhat arcane package to install, but cu works fine, so I won’t bother with minicom

I also had problems with the disk being /dev/sda in my laptop (due to the usb connection I think), while it became /dev/hda on the soekriss. Fixing this in grub was easy, but due the very modular nature of the mandriva kernel, I was missing the right module to interact with hda devices. Instead of learning how to fix the ramdisk I resorted to a statically compiled kernel, which is something I just do. So it ought to be easier and also more secure on a server, to disable loading of modules. It turned out to be a bit slow since I had to disable all sorts of hardware (a good thing, but not something I wanted to spend time on initially) in order not to lock up due to some interrupts, memory or something not being available. I managed in the end and the imperfect result can be seen below [*].

I also had problems with the soekris not detecting the harddisk for initial boot. I had to ctrl+p and enter reboot before the disk was detected. I has somehow solved itself, perhaps when setting the bootprocess to slow again.

I had problems to get forwarding and masquerading to work, so tried to find a minimal X11, so I could browser from the soekris, and I found these necessary packages (documented here, so I can remove them again when routing works properly).

412 urpmi x11-server-xorg
416 urpmi x11-server

More to come, …

Connecting the soekris to my fiber connection (where the soekriss gets a public IP from their router and shall as a router), I had problems connecting. I could connect to the fiber provider (dongenergy.dk) and order an ip connection (danskbredbaand.dk), but once I had changed to their dhcp provider I could not connect to to the world. The solution was the same as for my laptop, running linux, which I had to do a

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling


on in order for the network to work reliably. This time around I googled a bit more and found this post which sounds like it contains the proper solution, which is not disabling tcp_window_scaling, rather it is tweaking some mem parameters apparantly wrong by default in the kernel. This link is better (not part of bashing) and is the reference from the link above.

On my soekris my home made kernel has:

# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_?mem
4096 87380 2080768
4096 16384 2080768

I tried to enable tcp_window_scaling again (with the purpose of testing the mem parameters). Then, when I tried to access the network again, it just worked. So perhaps a workaround is also to disable (a ping perhaps) and the re-enable window scaling?? I may report back my findings.

I have now turned off tcp_window_scaling, I had problem with loosing the ability to log in. That problem has not reappeared since then.

I have had problems with the bootprocess, I have not been systematic about it, but this suggestion from the soekris tech list seems like something I should do next time I boot it.

from BIOS:

set ConMute=Enabled

This allow GRUB to continue to boot if the serial cable is not connected.
For me it worked (I use ZeroShell (www.zeroshell.net) as Captive Portal).

[*] successfull boot dump.

Mandriva Linux release 2008.0 (Official) for i586
Kernel 2.6.21.5-1mdvcustom on an i586 / ttyS0

New resource:

While trying to install a more modular kernel (the default mandriva one does not fit the cpu architecture of the soekris), I found this gentoo resource on the soekris, which includes reference to the CPU architecture:

–> Processor type and features
–> [ ]Symmetric multi-processing support
–> Processor family
–>(x) GeodeGX1

To get the kernel source on mandriva urpmpi kernel-source (the -src and --install-source are not the ones to use it appears, do not quite understand why).

First attempt failed with:

my guess is that I forgot make modules, and that it has taken mandriva compiled modules instead of the ones compiled for the soekris. let me try …

I know approximately how HTTP post and get works, but I felt like doing a little exercise just go get the protocol visualalised. In one terminal I fired up nc, to listen to port 12345 on localhost, anything incomming can then be seen in the terminal:

nc -l -p 12345

and in another terminal I fired first a get request off, and then the corresponding post request. The get request:

curl “http://127.0.0.1:12345/lala?foo=bar&goo=moo”

yielding:

GET /lala?foo=bar&goo=moo HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.13.1 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.12.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7e zlib/1.2.2.2 libidn/0.5.4
Host: 127.0.0.1:12345
Pragma: no-cache
Accept: */*

And the post, should be

curl -d “foo=bar&goo=moo” http://127.0.0.1:12345/lala

but my curl segdumps, so I used turned to wget:

wget –post-data “foo=bar&goo=moo” http://127.0.0.1:12345/lala

which yielded:

POST /lala HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Wget/1.9.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:12345
Accept: */*
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

foo=bar&goo=moo

If uploading a file via a form this method could be used (approximately, read the man on how to refer to a file and get that content posted instead):

curl -F foo=bar -F goo=moo http://127.0.0.1:12345/lala

yielding:

POST /lala HTTP/1.1
