Setup & Installation / Re: Encrypting Home Directory ?
« on: July 27, 2014, 09:12:00 am »
Because you didn't completely read anyone of my txt :) starting with I don't know what rsync and ssh does :)

Excuse me, can you please rephrase yourself?

Yahoo group.

I don't read newsgroups.

This would take care of everything:

Well, if you know what to do, then I do completely misunderstand what's this thread for.

The Os/2 versions of Rsync and ssh don't work together !

Are you sure? Have you tried?

If that's true, that's stupid and should be fixed.

And even if they did data wouldn't be encrypted at the end point ?

Oh. Well sorry, I thought you trust the remote server, but don't trust the data channel. It's partly hard to understand what you say for me.

If you don't trust the remote, you can indeed use an AEFS container or a passworded RAR archive.
But you will have to transfer the whole container/archive even if you change one byte in it (at least that's how good encryption should work), as it changes fully. Therefore I don't get where are you going to apply rsync in this case.

Or are you going to encrypt each file separately?

Why rsync?

I have a OS/2 server with a overlay of eCS.

I use a hot key for popup and drag and drop files on a CMD file of rsync for a Dropbox on my server and my public folder.

And stunnel and rsync for backups. But there's not a good way to encrypt data and rsync it to a third party server on OS/2.  So, Im going to check out how many files change on an encrypted AES directory and rsync it. If you know of a better way, please tell. 

I would like to add this to the OS/2 coummity.

The easiest way to transfer data with rsync securely is rsync over ssh, of course.

Thanks that what I was planning on doing and testing it with Rsync too. I'm going to try and get Paul to port a better solution.

Why rsync?

So, in the future is it possible for PSI/2 or others to add video conference or recording ?

Yes, and that is not very hard. Psi is written so that the platform-dependent code is separated from the platform-independent one.

There is a library called psimedia, which is platform-independent, and it can use several other platform-dependent libraries, called providers, to communicate with video and audio I/O on target systems. They've also (the Psi team) written a provider library that utilizes gstreamer to communicate with the system's audio and video I/O, and it appeared that it was enough, because gstreamer is available on Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS X. But because it hasn't been ported to OS/2, we've got no support for VoIP in Psi.

Therefore we've got two options:
  • port gstreamer. This is hard enough, but may have several good side-effects, as other software may need it;
  • write our own provider library, which will utilize DIVE, DART and the web cameras support solution by Wim. This is pretty straight-forward, and easier than porting gstreamer.

There I agree to you, I don't like what does he say mostly, too.

Don't Miss quote me.

What ever issue you have with him leave me out of it, he's a supporter !

Relax, have fun. ;)

And the one thing about Os2 it hasn't changed, why change it now ?

No one forces you to change anything.

Everything file in OS/2 has 8.3 naming.

And no, since eCS, I think, there are LOTS files not conforming to 8.3.

And even Roderick tried this and said a no go.

There I agree to you, I don't like what does he say mostly, too.

DLLs should be shared.
No, if the DLL is specific to the program then there is no use to place it in the structure of OS/2 or eCS. Next, if you set the DLL in the program directory then  you won't get the problem of version problems of the same DLL. And there are a lot of DLL's out there which has nothing to do with the OS and everything with the program. There will be no other program which will call that DLL, so that DLL has nothing to do within the structure of OS/2 or Ecs.

Lots of programs use libc065, gcc446, gcc444, ssl, curl, jpeg, xslt, libicu, z, xml2, stdcpp, mmap, pthread, urpo and other libraries, distributed via RPM.

DLLs should be shared just by the definition of the very term.

You are really making troubles not using YUM/RPM, seriously.

Okay, I don't like it, but let me do that for you: it seems to be this is the easieset way in this situation.

ftp://dbanet.org/dbanet/tmp/dlls-especially-for-thomas-who-is-too-lazy-to-install-rpm-yum.zip

If it fails to work with this bundle of DLLs, just accept the thought that yum/rpm env is required. You wouldn't be asking for help on this forum.

Is this new structure going to be 8.3 safe?

What structure? I think the subject of this topic is to determine if it is possible to move some directories from the root, but not to invent a new directory tree.

I would be very interested in giving it a try under Warp 4.52.
Do you think this could be possible?

Thomas

This shouldn't be a problem. I don't remember if I had good results (maybe not, but then again, I had a clumsy OOo install).
If you're trying the Yuri Dario build, just follow his instructions regarding the needed DLLs.

Mentore

Getting the needed DLLs is a  problem to me.
I found a link to an italian ecomstation site. In the readme it says:

the following packages must be installed (dll only)
   libc 0.6.5
   gcc 4.4.6
   gcc 4.4.4
   ssl
   curl
   jpeg
   xslt
   libicu
   z
   xml2
   stdcpp
   mmap
   pthread
   urpo

These files can be installed with the following command:

   yum install libc gcc-4.4.4 gcc-4.4.6 openssl curl libjpeg libxslt libicu zlib libxml2 stdcpp mmap pthread urpo gcc-stdc++-shared-library

if you have a valid rpm/yum installation.
Otherwise you can grab the corresponding zip files from

   http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/


As I do not have a rpm/yum installation I intended to grab the zip-folders. But for example there is no gcc-4.4.4 folder. Others are missing also from what I understand.
Can somebody give me a hint?

Thanks a lot.

Thomas

The best way to have your home directory encrypted is to use AEFS. NDCrypt with NetDrive may also be an option, but in this case you would need to pay for NetDrive at first, and for NDCrypt itself, at second.

It also may be reasonable to move your desktop directory in your home directory, so that it'd be encrypted too.

After moving the MMOS2 folder, (and copying the ones blocked), after changing the config.sys and the INIs.

On the next boot this files remain locked on the original location. So I need to find who/where are they being turned on:
- C:\MMOS2\MEDIAFLD\BIN\mediafld.dll
- C:\MMOS2\MMCLASS\cwmm.dll
- C:\MMOS2\MMCLASS\BIN\mmres_en.dll

These are clearly SOM classes and WPS locks them. Anyway I wouldn't complain if Wolgemuth's classes stopped working: they are abandoned, closed source software (just like OS/2), and while I like the idea of it, I think that multimedia features of WPS should be provided by a third-party, powerful and replaceable (which means easily updateable) component, i. e. libavicodec, the library that ffmpeg uses.
