Command not found

Today, I found the command-not-found feature in Ubuntu Feisty. The feature is useful when running commands in bash. If the command you tries to run is not installed you get a suggestion what to install.

$ svn checkout https://forgesvn1.novell.com/svn/apparmor/
The program 'svn' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install subversion
bash: svn: command not found
$

I like!

The functionality is included as standard in Fesity.

Create your own CA with TinyCA2 (part 1)

Image
A Certificate Authorities (CA) issues certificates to people and organization that gives us the possibility to know that we surf to the right web site and not a phising site. This concept can be nice to use on your private sites too, but you may not want to spend a lot of money to get a certificate for your site. Most common when one installs a web-mail server at home is using a self signed certificate. When one surf to the web-mail server from a friends computer one can not be sure that nobody listens to the traffic if one not verifies the signature of the self signed certificate. Maybe an easier and definitely a more scalable solution to this is to create ones own CA structure. When we are ready with this how to you will have installed a certificate on your web server, installed the root certificate into your Firefox, and you will have the root certificate stored on a USB-memory stick. First time you want to read your mail from a friends computer you install the root certificate f...

Create your own CA with TinyCA2 (part 3)

In this final part we will add our own root CA certificate to Ubuntus pre-installed certificates. (Part 1 , Part 2 ) Copy your root CA certificate, that we exported in the previous part, to /usr/share/ca-certificates/. Add the file name to /etc/ca-certificates.conf and run the command: sudo update-ca-certificates Most of your services will now be able to find your root CA certificate. To bring your root CA certificate to your friends, just copy the exported root certificate-file to a USB-memory. Using your own CA you can now add support SSL to different services like CUPS, postfix(AUTH SMTP), dovecot (IMAP) etc. You can also create certificates to sign and encrypt your e-mails.
