Facebook IM


The world does not need another IM. But do need to be building tools to better take advantage of the world around us.

Jabber - is going to rise significantly as the IM platform. Jabber clients will be able to traverse (for messaging) all networks, and clients can be built to offer specific functionality and interoperability across specific networks. Example: Google Talk. (I am assuming Google Talk has features specific to just google talk in terms of network features and client capabilities).

Facebook. How do we build a facebook IM?

(1) Allow users to profile their networks, and select preferences for services for messaging. ie MSN. or Jabber.
(2) Facebook Users synchronize their IM clients with facebook (social network et al) w/ their online rosters - adding their friends according to their transport preferences.
(3) This will require a server component, facebook application and client plugin.

Facebook application will organize roster and IM preferences.
IM Client Plugin, will retrieve the facebook roster and update roster list as appropriate - adding and deleting as appropriate.

(parent) Installing FreeRadius


FreeRadius Installation

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151781

sudo apt-get install freeradius freeradius-mysql freeradius-dialupadmin



Basic Configuration

nano /etc/raddb/clients.conf

It's best to start with a simple config using the standard text files, if only to test that FreeRADIUS is correctly installed and works.

  • Edit /etc/raddb/clients.conf and enter the details of your NAS unit(s). There are examples here, so it should be easy. There should already be a 'localhost' NAS preconfigured here for testing purposes (i.e. so you can use radtest).
  • Edit /etc/raddb/users and create an example user account. The file is commented on how to do this.
  • Edit /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf and change as needed. You may wish to change the default port to run on 1645 (old port) if you are replacing a legacy RADIUS server.

At this point you should be able to manually fire up /usr/sbin/radiusd. You should do this with the debug turned on so you can see what happens: 

     /usr/sbin/radiusd -X


Lots of stuff will scroll to the screen, and it should tell you it's ready to accept requests. If you get an error, READ THE DEBUG, then check the docs, check the above and try again.

You should now be able to use FreeRadius. You can use radtest to test an account from the command line: 

     radtest username password servername port secret


So, if your example user is 'fred' with password 'wilma', your server is called 'radius.domain.com', is using port 1645, and you put localhost (or your localhost's IP) in clients.conf with a secret of 'mysecret', you should use: 

     radtest fred wilma radius.domain.com 1645 mysecret


And you should get back something like: 

     Sending Access-Request of id 226 to 127.0.0.1:1645
           User-Name = 'fred'
           User-Password = '\304\2323\326B\017\376\322?K\332\350Z;}'
           NAS-IP-Address = radius.domain.com
           NAS-Port = 1645
     rad_recv : Access-Accept packet from host 127.0.0.1:1645,id=226, length=56
           Framed-IP-Address = 80.84.161.1
           Framed-Protocol = PPP
           Service-Type = Framed-User
           Framed-Compression = Van-Jacobson-TCP-IP
           Framed-IP- Netmask = 255.255.255.255


You should get an 'Access Accept' response. If you don't, do not pass Go, do not collect £200. Go back and check everything. Read the docs, READ THE DEBUG!!

If you have a Windows PC handy you may also wish to use NTradPing (downloadable from MasterSoft) to send test packets instead of radtest. If you do this, or test from any other machine, remember your PC (or other machine) needs to be in your NAS list in clients.conf too! OK, so at this point you should have text-file authentication working in FreeRadius...

(parent) Installing Ubuntu Server


Here are my notes:

Links
www.ubuntu.com
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu704

Procedure
install ubuntu 7.04
install SSH

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

update applications

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

NOT SURE ABOUT

apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient15-dev

Synchonize the System Clock

sudo apt-get install ntp ntpdate

Installing the server applications

https://help.ubuntu.com/7.04/server/C/

MySQL

sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client

Once the installation is complete, the MySQL server should be started automatically. You can run the following command from a terminal prompt to check whether the MySQL server is running:

sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql

When you run this command, you should see the following line or something similar:

tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:mysql *:* LISTEN -

If the server is not running correctly, you can type the following command to start it:

sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart

Configuration

By default, the administrator password is not set. Once you install MySQL, the first thing you must do is to configure the MySQL administrator password. To do this, run the following commands:

sudo mysqladmin -u root password newrootsqlpassword

sudo mysqladmin -p -u root -h localhost password newrootsqlpassword

*** Need instructions on how to change admin password ***

You can edit the /etc/mysql/my.cnf file to configure the basic settings -- log file, port number, etc. Refer to /etc/mysql/my.cnf file for more details.

Installing SAMBA

Not sure why we want SAMBA.
At the prompt enter the following command to install the SAMBA server applications:

sudo apt-get install samba

To mount Windows filesystems using SMB, you will also need smbfs. Enter the command:

sudo apt-get install smbfs
