Reducing load on web server by using reverse proxy - squid
Many large organizations use caching proxy servers to save on network bandwidth utilization (and costs) and improve browsing response times. In fact, an entire industry has grown up around caching proxy appliances. But in the open source world, we’ve had one of the most advanced proxy servers for many, many years. Squid (http://www.squid-cache.org) is to caching proxy servers as Apache is to web servers.
A quick-win method of reducing load on a Web site is to use a reverse proxy, which intercepts requests from clients and then proxies those requests on to the Web server, caching the response itself as it sends it back to the client.
This is useful because it means that for static content the proxy doesn't have to always contact the Web server, but can often serve the request from its own local cache. This in turn reduces the load on the Web server. This is especially the case when the Web server also serves dynamic content, since the Web server hardware can be less tuned to static content (when it is cached by a front-end proxy) and more tuned to serving dynamic content. It is also sometimes the case that although the Web server is serving dynamically created pages, these pages are cachable for a few seconds or maybe a few minutes. By using a reverse proxy, the serving of these pages speeds up dramatically.
Reverse proxying in this manner can also be used alongside the simple load balancing system, where static and dynamic content are split across separate servers. Obviously the proxy would be used on only the static content Web server.
Squid Configuration for Reverse Proxy:
The reverse proxy has to intercept every request, in order to compare it with its cache content. Let's assume we have two machines:
* Web server serving http://www.example.net/ (192.168.0.1)
* squid.example.net (192.168.0.2)
In squid.conf file we begin with the IP addresses, and tell it to listen for incoming requests on port 80.

Next Generation of the Fastest P2P Program - FrostWire (OpenSuSe)
FrostWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing program for the Gnutella and BitTorrent protocols. FrostWire is written in Java, and is a fork of LimeWire, another popular Gnutella client. Released under the GNU General Public License, FrostWire is free software.
Features:
* As with LimeWire, FrostWire is written in Java, and is therefore capable of supporting multiple platforms.
* While LimeWire is available in both free and paid versions, FrostWire is released only as a free version, the Windows version of which comes bundled with the Ask.com toolbar. FrostWire includes much of the functionality of LimeWire's free version, as well as a few of LimeWire Pro's payment based upgrades.
* FrostWire provides a chatroom, which is absent in LimeWire. However, LimeWire includes an instant messenger using the Jabber protocol and allows the user to share with individual friends in the messenger which is a feature not found in FrostWire. Starting from version 4.13.1.7, the chat feature of displays advertising to help pay for the required servers.[1]
* FrostWire's interface was originally nearly identical to that of LimeWire. However, LimeWire 5.0 has a re-designed interface which has not been implemented by FrostWire. FrostWire's skin may be changed to a variety of different colors which is no longer an option in LimeWire 5.0.
Installation:
1) Download FrostWire (tar) - here
2) After sucessfull download, untar the package: tar -zxvf frostwire-4.18.0.noarch.tar.gz
3) Go inside the directory and run command: ./runFrostwire.sh to start the installation process
4) Configure your share folder location
Finally, after few more screens you should able to complete the installation to lunch the application

Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender.
Spammers get your e-mail addresses from webpages, news groups or domain records (if you have your own domain). There are individuals who use robots to extract the addresses, burn them on CDs and sell them very cheap to other Spammers. If you write your e-mail address in clear text onto your homepage today such that programs can extract it, then you will have a major problem in a few months time and you can't stop it. The problem will be growing every day!
Now lets discuss some common filter techniques and how they work. I will not describe how to configure them exactly in each MTA. Instead I suggest you to read the documentation that comes with the MTA that you have installed. Postfix and Exim are well documented
Realtime Block lists:
These are DNS based lists. You check the IP address of the mailserver that wants to send mail to your server against a blacklist of known spammers. Common lists are www.spamhaus.org. You should however not be too enthusiastic about it and carefully choose the lists since there are also some which block entire IP ranges simply because one spammer had used a dialup connection from this ISP at one point in time.
8 bit characters in subject line:
About 30% of the spam origins in China, Taiwan or other Asian countries these days. If you are sure that you can't read Chinese then you can reject mail which has a lot of 8 bit characters (not ASCII) in the subject. Some MTAs have a separate configuration option for this but you can also use regular expression matching on the header:
/^Subject:.*[^ -~][^ -~][^ -~][^ -~]/
This will reject email which has more than 4 consecutive characters in the subject line which are not in the ASCII range space to tilde. Both exim and postfix can be compiled with perl regular expression support. This method is quite good and keeps out 20-30% of the spam-mail.
Lists with "From" addresses of known spammers:
Forget it. This used to work back in 1997. Spammers today use faked addresses or addresses of innocent people.
Reject non FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) sender and unknown sender domain:
Some spammers use non existent addresses in the "From". It is not possible to check the complete address but you can check the hostname/domain part of it by querying a DNS server.
This keeps out about 10-15% of the spam and you don't want these mails anyhow because you would not be able to reply to them even if they were not spam.
IP address has no PTR record in the DNS:
This checks that the IP address from where you get the mail can be reverse resolved into a domain name. This is a very powerful option and keeps out a lot of mail. I would not recommend it! This does not test if the system administrator of the mail server is good but if he has a good backbone provider. ISPs buy IP addresses from their backbone providers and they buy from bigger backbone providers. All involved backbone providers and ISPs have to configure their DNS correctly to make the whole chain work. If somebody in between makes a mistake or does not want to configure it then it does not work. It says nothing about the individual mail server at the end of the chain.
Require HELO command:
When 2 MTAs (mail servers) talk to each other (via smtp) then they first say who they are. Some spam software does not do that. This keeps out 1-5% of the spam.
Require HELO command and reject unknown servers:
You take the name that you get in the HELO command and then you go to DNS and check if this is a correctly registered server. This is very good because a spammer who uses just a temporary dialup connection will usually not configure a valid DNS record for it.
This blocks about 70-80% of all spam but rejects also legitimate mail which comes from sites with multiple mail servers where a sloppy system administrator forgot to put the hostnames of all servers into DNS.
Some MTAs have even more options but the above are quite commonly available in a good MTA. The advantage of all those checks is that they are not CPU intensive. You will usually not need to update your mailserver hardware if you use those checks.

How to set Cron/At Access Control
Cron stores it's enteries in the crontab (cron table) file. This is generally located in your /etc directory. As well, each user on your system can have their own crontab which would be stored in /var/spool/cron/. To edit a users crontab entry, simply log into your system for that particular user and type crontab -e. The default editor for the 'crontab -e' command is vi. Below is the simple example of crontab entry
Now to control the access to crontab for particular user you need to edit the required configuration file depending upon your requirement, which are mentioned below.
1. /etc/cron.allow
If it exists, a user must be listed in this file in order to use crontab.
2. /etc/cron.deny
If it exists, a user must not be listed in this file in order to user crontab.
Similary for "at" access control, you can edit the following files depending upon your requirement
1. /etc/at.allow
Same as cron.allow, only for "at".
2. /etc/at.deny
Same as cron.deny, only for "at".

How to set Access/Restrictions on users logins
Time Based Restrictions
These examples will limit the login times of certain users. See /etc/security/time.conf for more information/examples. In order to place time restrictions on user logins, the following must be placed in /etc/pam.d/login:
account required /lib/security/pam_time.so
The remaining lines should be placed in /etc/security/time.conf.
1. Only allow user nikesh to login during on weekdays between 7 am and 5 pm.
login;*;nikesh;Wd0700-1700
2. Allow users A & B to login on all days between 8 am and 5 pm except for Sunday.
login;*;A|B;AlSu0800-1700
If a day is specified more than once, it is unset. So in the above example, Sunday is specified twice (Al = All days, Su = Sunday). This causes it to be unset, so this rule applies to all days except Sunday.
Access Based Restrictions
/etc/security/access.conf can be used to restrict access by terminal or host. The following must be placed in /etc/pam.d/login in order for these examples to work:
account required /lib/security/pam_access.so
1. Deny nikesh login access on all terminals except for tty1:
-:nikesh:ALL EXCEPT tty1
2. Users in the group operator are only allowed to login from a local terminal:
-:operator:ALL EXCEPT LOCAL
3. Allow user A to only login from a trusted server:
-:A:ALL EXCEPT trusted.somedomain.com

How to allow access to the mail server by individual domains - Sendmail
The access database (normally in /etc/mail/access) allows a mail administrator to administratively allow access to the mail server by individual domains. Each database entry consists of a domain name or network number as the key and an action as the value.
Keys can be a fully or partly qualified host or domain name such as host.subdomain.domain.com, subdomain.domain.com, or domain.com. The last two forms match any host or subdomain under the specified domain.
Keys can also be a network address or subnetwork, e.g., 205.199.2.250, 205.199.2, or 205.199. The latter two forms match any host in the indicated subnetwork. Lastly, keys can be user@host.domain to reject mail from a specific user.
Values can be REJECT to refuse connections from this host, DISCARD to accept the message but silently discard it (the sender will think it has been accepted), OK to allow access (overriding other built-in checks), RELAY to allow access including relaying SMTP through your machine, or an arbitrary message to reject the mail with the customized message.
For example, a database might contain:
abc.com REJECT
to reject all mail from any host in the abc.com domain, allow any relaying to or from any host in the sendmail.org domain, and reject mail from spam@buyme.com with a specific message.
Note that the access database is a map and just as with all maps, the database must be generated using makemap. For example: makemap hash /etc/mail/access < /etc/mail/access

Create Screencasts on OpenSuSe with recordMyDesktop
A picture is worth a thousand words, especially when you're teaching someone how to do something on a computer, and recordMyDesktop is a great little Linux application for creating screencasts. YouTube is full of recordMyDesktop screencasts showing all kinds of captures, including Compiz in action.
recordMyDesktop is a program that captures audio-video data of a desktop session, producing an ogg-encapsulated theora-vorbis file.
recordMyDesktop tries to be as unobstrusive as possible by processing only regions of the screen that have changed.
The program is separated in two parts; a simple command line tool that performs the basic tasks of capturing and encoding and an interface that exposes the program functionality in a usable way. The frontend comes in two versions. One frontend is written with the gtk toolkit (named gtk-recordMyDesktop) and a more recent one with the Qt toolkit (qt-recordMyDesktop).
recordMyDesktop also offers the ability to record audio through ALSA, OSS or the JACK audio server.
Installation: Use "1-click" installer to install gtkpod
OpenSuSe 11.1 - here
After successful installation go to console and use command: gtk-recordMyDesktop to launch recordMyDesktop application
Running from command line: Hit Ctrl+C to stop recording:
$ recordmydesktop --no-sound -o newtest.ogg

Deluge BitTorrent client - OpenSuSe
Deluge is a full-featured BitTorrent client for Linux, Unix and Windows. It uses libtorrent in it's backend and PyGTK for it's user interface.
Deluge features a rich plugin collection; in fact, most of Deluge's functionality is available in the form of plugins.
Deluge was created with the intention of being lightweight and unobtrusive. It is our belief that downloading shouldn't be the primary task on your computer and therefore shouldn't monopolize system resources.
Features:
* Web UI
* BitTorrent Protocol Encryption
* Mainline DHT
* Local Peer Discovery (aka LSD)
* FAST protocol extension
* µTorrent Peer Exchange
* UPnP and NAT-PMP
* Proxy support
* Private Torrents
* Global and per-torrent speed limits
* Password protection
* And much more!
Installation: Use "1-click" installer to install Deluge
OpenSuSe 11.1 - here
After sucessfull installation go to start >> Application >> Internet >> Data Exchange and select deluge to open the deluge.
Deluge is easy to use. For example, I wanted to try out Linux Mint 4.0 for Xfce, so I went to the site and clicked on the appropriate torrent link. After confirming the download, Deluge started getting my download with no fuss. You can also add a torrent directly by clicking on File >> Add Torrent From URL and entering its URL.
There are dozens of BitTorrent clients available, but if you're looking for one that both is powerful and has a small footprint, consider Deluge.

Monitoring Bandwidth Usage - iftop
iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It listens to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts.
Overview of IFTOP
* iftop (interface top) derives the name from the standard unix top command. top command displays real-time CPU Usage. iftop command displays real-time network bandwidth usage.
* iftop displays the network usage of a specific interface on the host.
* Using iftop you can identify which host is responsible for slowing down your network.
* To find out which process is causing the problem, note down the port number from the iftop and use netstat -p to identify the process.
* iftop monitors your network activity, and displays a table of current bandwidth.
Installation:
OpenSuSe user can use "1-click" installer to install iftop
OpenSuSe 11.1 - here
OpenSuSe 11.0 - here
Others:
Download the source code form the iftop website - here and compile/install iftop using following commands
Go to your cosole and use command: iftop to start monitoring the bandwidth usage.
you can also specify a particular interface with the -i option: iftop -i eth1, some other options ..
* -p Enables promiscuous mode, so the traffic on any interface (if there is more than once) is checked and counted
* -P Shows also the port that connection is using both on both side
* -N Do not resolve port names, which is the default behavior when you enable the -P option, so it will shows you :www or :80

Monitoring Apache Server on OpenSuSe - apachetop
Apachetop is a curses-based realtime utility to display information from a running copy of Apache.
It is modelled after the standard 'top' utility, and displays information such as the requests pers second, bytes per second and the most popular URLs displayed.
It must be run from a machine running Apache, as it works by processing the logfiles found in /var/log/apache
Installation: use "1-click" installer to install apachetop
OpenSuSe 11.1 - here
OpenSuSe 11.0 - here
Using Apachetop:
ApacheTop watches a logfile generated by Apache (in standard common or combined logformat, and generates human-parsable output in realtime.
-f logfile
Select which file to watch. Specify this option multiple times to watch multiple files.
-H hits | -T time
These options are mutually exclusive. Specify only one, if any at all. They work as follows. ApacheTop maintains a table of information internally containing all the relevant information about the hits it's seen. This table can only be a finite size, so you need to decide how big it's going to be. You have two options. You can either: Use -H to say "remember hits" or Use -T to say "remember all hits in seconds"
The default (at the moment) is to remember hits for 30 seconds. Setting this too large (whichever option you choose) will cause ApacheTop to use more memory and more CPU time. My experimentation finds that remembering no more than around 5000 requests works well.
-q
Instructs ApacheTop to keep the querystrings, not remove them.
-l
Instructs ApacheTop to lowercase all URLs, thus /FOO and /foo are treated as the same and accumulate the same statistics.
-s segments
Instructs ApacheTop to only keep the first parts of the path. Trailing slashes are kept if present. Statistics are then merged for each truncated url.
-p
Instructs ApacheTop to keep the protocol (http:// usually) at the front of its' referrer strings. Normal behaviour is to remove them to give more room to more useful information.
-r secs
Set default refresh delay, in seconds.
Example: apachetop -f /var/log/apache2/access_log

Installing Ubuntu without external media
The below method is only applicable if you alread have Linux (any) running, here I am using OpenSuSe 11.1 to install ubuntu-9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) also you need a seperate partition to install ubuntu. you can also use gparted to create some space for ubuntu.
The benefits of installing without external media are that it can save you time if you are already familiar with the process, and you get a very usable system upon booting into the installer because it is running from a hard drive rather than a CD.
Note: you need to be root on your existing Linux system to use any of the below mentioned command
1) Download ubuntu iso - here
Note: I got my OpenSuSe 11.1 installed on /dev/sda2 and I want to install ubuntu on /dev/sda6, so check you device and move on.
2) Copy the iso contents using the command :
The first line after the title tells grub which partition contains the installer. hd0 stands for "first hard disk," and the 5 following it standards for sixth partition. You will need to change this if your installer partition is different from /dev/sda6.
4) Reboot, and choose "Ubuntu installer" from the grub boot menu, and continue as if you were installing from CD.

Monitoring MySQL servers using mytop on OpenSuSe & Others
MySQL is one of the most important programs on a server, unfortunatly it is also pretty resource intensive. One a server it is not uncommon for a single user or even a query to take up the bulk of the servers cpu cycles. Mytop is a very useful program to see what queries a server is currently processing as well as which user is executing them. Think of mytop as top for mysql. If you see a lot from a user that means they are probably the hog. Mytop can also be useful for figuring out exactly which queries are causing the problem in the case of a self-designed website. The following is how to install mytop on the server and run it.
Installation: use "1-click" installer to install mytop
OpenSuSe 11.1 - here
OpenSuSe 11.0 - here
Others: Download the latest version of mytop - here and follow the below instruction to compile and install mytop
You can directly use the mytop by typing “mytop” on your console screen initially you will get a message that “Unable to connect to Mysql” you will need to provide the host name, database name, username, password
To connect to the MySql database using Mytop you will need to give all your MySql details as a parameter:
-u - username of the database
-p - password for connecting to the database
-h - Host Name
-d - database name
Example: mytop -u root -p password -h localhost -d test
Instead of always using bulky command-line parameters, you can also use a config file in your home directory (~/.mytop). If present, mytop will read it automatically. It is read before any of your command-line arguments are processed, so your command-line arguments will override directives in the config file.
Here is a sample config file ~/.mytop which implements the defaults described above.

pass= xxxx
host=localhost

Find and Remove "orphaned" packages from your OpenSuSe system
The rpm packaging system is a very good tool (compared to tar.gz), but when you want to install a software foo, you often have to install some libraries too (libfoo1, libfoo2 ). Now when you remove the foo package, librairies are often forgotten, and the disk space is decreasing ...
Another case : when you upgrade your linux box, you will also see forgotten packages (check with rpm -qa --last command !)
rpmorphan finds "orphaned" packages on your system. It determines which packages have no other packages depending on their installation, and shows you a list of these packages. It intends to be clone of deborphan debian tools for rpm packages.
It will try to help you to remove unused packages, for exemple :
* after a distribution upgrade
* when you want to suppress packages after some tests
several tools are also provided :
* rpmusage : display rpm packages last use date
* rpmdep : display the full dependency of an installed rpm package
* rpmduplicates : find programs with several version installed
Installation: use "1-click" installer to install the package
OpenSuSe 11.1 - here
OpenSuSe 11.0 - here
After successful installation, for a quick start, try the following command: # rpmorphan --gui --all
