Eduroam in Slovenia for Linux wicd client

After year and a half on Faculty of Electrical Engineering, I have managed to get working Eduroam WPA enterprise encryption on wicd networking client for GNU Linux (pretty good alternative to NetworkManager, but with Unix philosophy in mind). Here is wicd encryption template for wpa_supplicant: name = eap-ttls (Eduroam sl) version = 1 require anon_identity *Anonymous_Identity ca_cert *Path_to_CA_Cert identity *Identity password *Password ---- eapol_version=1 ap_scan=1 ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="$_ESSID" scan_ssid=$_SCAN proto=WPA WPA2 key_mgmt=WPA-EAP group=CCMP TKIP eap=TTLS mixed_cell=1 peerkey=1 phase2="auth=PAP" ca_cert="$_CA_CERT" anonymous_identity="$_ANON_IDENTITY" identity="$_IDENTITY" password="$_PASSWORD" } Cacert is actually not needed, but if I understand correctly it provides encryption for data traffic. Here is full procedure how to get eduroam working with wicd:

Redmine and mercurial-server

I managed to put together Redmine as issuetracker/wiki/younameit and mercurial-server which manages multi-user access to mercurial repository through ssh. Redmine installation: redmine:redmine /var/lib/redmine/ Mercurial-server installation: hg:hg /home/hg/ I have put redmine into group hg. The issue When you add repository lets say /home/hg/vim/ to redmine, it does not recognise it. Not until you ofcourse make repository read/writeable for hg group (chmod 760). Now comes punchline; $HOME directory must be executable in order for Redmine to read repository info. In my case, I had to do "chmod 710 /home/hg/" in order to redmine to work.

Slovenian Gentoo community mirror introduction

I'm very happy first stage of my Gentoo mirror project is done. More information about server, how to use it with Gentoo and statitics can be read here Server is an old box of my girlfriend (thanks!). The box used to have issues with rebooting during ubuntu gnome session, I hope it was graphic's card fault (no graphic desktop is running now). Consider this beta testing period, spread the world of Slovenian Gentoo mirror! Link is 50/50mbit FTTH. Current location of server is temporary, until I find free provider to sponzor full 100mbit link. Leave any questions at domen[AT]dev.si
