TFTP GUI for Linux

Arjan Jorink — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 09:36:22 +0000

This program is a TFTP server.

It is intended to run as a user initiated program, rather than a service daemon, and displays a gui interface allowing the user to stop and start the tftp server.

It provides a simple tftp server for engineers to download and upload configuration files from equipment such as routers and switches.

It has been tested on Windows XP and Linux platforms.

Download the installation file tftpgui_1_1_py25_install.exe for a Windows install, the Downloads section of this site also has a tar archive for Linux.

EVC incompatible hardware

Arjan Jorink — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 09:41:05 +0000

I have two DL385 G5 HP servers with quad core AMD processors. When I edit the settings for the cluster the servers show as “Incompatible Hardware” for EVC.
This hardware should be compatible so I started some research.Then I found this on the internet.

I just enabled the No-Execute Page-Protection on the advanced CPU settings and the hosts are no longer incompatible.

Create backup file with date of today

How to create a backup file with the date of today.
Here is an example with STSADM from Sharepoint Services.

stsadm -o backup -filename “\\gl-nas-01\backup$\Sharepoint\GL-SP-01\%date:~-10,3%%date:~-7,3%%date:~-4%.dat” -url http://intranet/sites/home

Configure PDF IFilter in WSS 3.0

Arjan Jorink — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:51:48 +0000

First, you need to download the Adobe PDF IFilter 6.0, which you can find at this URL. You should also get hold of a suitable Icon to use with PDFs, so that when they are listed in a document library they are easily recognisable. There is a 17 x 17 one available on the Adobe web site here.
Once you’ve downloaded the IFilter, install it on your WSS 3.0 server, and then follow the instructions on registry settings in Microsoft KB Article 927675. I’ve always found that providing the Adobe IFilter installed properly, the only setting I need to add is the Search Extensions one listed in step 2. Also note step 5 re stopping and re-starting the search service.
Now you need to set up the Icon file. If you downloaded the icon file in step 1 above, you will have a file called pdficon_small.gif. You need to copy this onto your WSS 3.0 server, into drive:\Program Files\Common FIles\Microsoft Shared\Web Server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\IMAGES.
Next you need to edit the XML file which WSS uses to link file extensions to icons. This file is called DOCICON.XML and is located at drive:\Program Files\Common FIles\Microsoft Shared\Web Server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML. Navigate to that folder and locate the file. I would suggest making a backup copy first, then opening the file in NotePad. You need to add a mapping key for PDFs at the bottom of the file, above the closing tag. The new key will be (note that XML is case sensitive so make sure you use same case as previous entries). Then save the file.
That’s pretty much it, but if you already have PDFs uploaded to your WSS server I would recommend starting a full crawl. You can do the with STSAdm, the command syntax is Stsadm -o spsearch -action fullcrawlstart . More on this on TechNet here.

Configure Windows SharePoint Services Search Service Settings

Arjan Jorink — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:54:13 +0000

By default, the search service is disabled in WSS 3.0. In order to enable it, goto your SharePoint Central Administration page and under the Operations tab, goto the “Services on the Server” list and click on WSS Search.

Service Account – You cannot use any built in accounts when specifiying the Service Account, however you can use local accounts. One account you can choose to use is the default Administrator account on your server, “myserver\Administrator”.
Content Access Account – Use an account that has full read access to your SharePoint Content Databases. As a security precaution, try not to use an account that has write permissions on the database. For example: “mydomain\sqlserveruser”.
Search Database – In most cases the default settings will work, change them as required.
Indexing Schedule – No new files will be searchable until they are indexed, depending on the load you wish to put on the server you can set this to be done as often as you want.

Upon submitting the form, the search service should start and begin indexing the content in your SharePoint site. Now would be a good time to install the Adobe IFilter to allow your search service be able to index PDF files, the earlier you install it the better, since it will only recognize PDF files added after the addon was installed.

ASP.NET 2.0 not registered in IIS

Arjan Jorink — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 19:26:58 +0000

When ASP.NET is installed on your computer but not registered in your IIS you probably installed .Net before IIS.
This is easily repaired with the following command

“%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\aspnet_regiis.exe” -i

Ubuntu 10.04 with Brother DCP-357c

Arjan Jorink — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:26:15 +0000

My home computer is still running Windows XP.
The main reason for this is my printer. It’s a Brother DCP-357c.

For a long time I tried to make it work under Ubuntu.
I was giving up the hope that it would ever work.
After upgrading my laptop to Ubuntu 10.04 I thought to give it one more try.

AND IT WORKED. YEAH!!!!

Here’s how I did it.

First install the Brother drivers with Synaptic. Search for “Brother” and you will find the following packages.
brother-cups-wrapper-extra
brother-lpr-drivers-extra

Install them for printing support.

Then download and install brscan2 from the Brother site.
You can find it here.

Open a terminal and type

lsusb

You’ll get a output similar like this:

Bus 006 Device 002: ID 04f9:01e4 Brother Industries, Ltd DCP-357C

After ID you will find the Vendor ID (04f9) and the Product ID (01e4)
You will need both of them, so remember them.

In the terminal type the following:

gksudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules

Add the following lines to the end of the hardware list

#Brother DCP-357C
ATTRS{idVendor}==”04f9″, ATTRS{idProduct}==”01e4″, ENV{libsane_matched}=”yes”

Save the file and restart your computer.
After the restart Ubuntu will find your printer but gives the message that the correct drivers are not installed.
Chose to manually select the driver and select the Brother DCP-353C. Print the test page and everything should work like a charm.

Try to scan with “Simple scan” from the menu. This should work also.

Ubuntu with DNS problems

Arjan Jorink — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 10:00:09 +0000

At work we need to manage multiple windows domains.
After a fresh install of Ubuntu the only computers I can reach are the ones in our primary domain.

To reach the other computers I need to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
This file tells Linux where to look for name service information. It should look like this:

hosts: files dns
networks: files dns
