                <description>

-&lt;p&gt;The last few days a new boot system called
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd&quot;&gt;systemd&lt;/a&gt;
-has been
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd.html&quot;&gt;introduced&lt;/a&gt;
-
-to the free software world.  I have not yet had time to play around
-with it, but it seem to be a very interesting alternative to
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://upstart.ubuntu.com/&quot;&gt;upstart&lt;/a&gt;, and might prove to be
-a good alternative for Debian when we are able to switch to an event
-based boot system.  Tollef is
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/580814&quot;&gt;in the process&lt;/a&gt; of getting
-systemd into Debian, and I look forward to seeing how well it work.  I
-like the fact that systemd handles init.d scripts with dependency
-information natively, allowing them to run in parallel where upstart
-at the moment do not.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately do systemd have the same problem as upstart regarding
-platform support.  It only work on recent Linux kernels, and also need
-some new kernel features enabled to function properly.  This means
-kFreeBSD and Hurd ports of Debian will need a port or a different boot
-system.  Not sure how that will be handled if systemd proves to be the
-way forward.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In the mean time, based on the
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg00122.html&quot;&gt;input
-on debian-devel@&lt;/a&gt; regarding parallel booting in Debian, I have
-decided to enable full parallel booting as the default in Debian as
-soon as possible (probably this weekend or early next week), to see if
-there are any remaining serious bugs in the init.d dependencies.  A
-new version of the sysvinit package implementing this change is
-already in experimental.  If all go well, Squeeze will be released
-with parallel booting enabled by default.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;In the &lt;a href=&quot;http://popcon.debian.org/unknown/by_vote&quot;&gt;Debian
+popularity-contest numbers&lt;/a&gt;, the adobe-flashplugin package the
+second most popular used package that is missing in Debian.  The sixth
+most popular is flashplayer-mozilla.  This is a clear indication that
+working flash is important for Debian users.  Around 10 percent of the
+users submitting data to popcon.debian.org have this package
+installed.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;In the report written by Lars Risan in August 2008
+(«&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.skolelinux.no/Dokumentasjon/Rapporter?action=AttachFile&amp;do=view&amp;target=Skolelinux_i_bruk_rapport_1.0.pdf&quot;&gt;Skolelinux
+i bruk – Rapport for Hurum kommune, Universitetet i Agder og
+stiftelsen SLX Debian Labs&lt;/a&gt;»), one of the most important problems
+schools experienced with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Debian
+Edu/Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; was the lack of working Flash.  A lot of educational
+web sites require Flash to work, and lacking working Flash support in
+the web browser and the problems with installing it was perceived as a
+good reason to stay with Windows.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I once saw a funny and sad comment in a web forum, where Linux was
+said to be the retarded cousin that did not really understand
+everything you told him but could work fairly well.  This was a
+comment regarding the problems Linux have with proprietary formats and
+non-standard web pages, and is sad because it exposes a fairly common
+understanding of whose fault it is if web pages that only work in for
+example Internet Explorer 6 fail to work on Firefox, and funny because
+it explain very well how annoying it is for users when Linux
+distributions do not work with the documents they receive or the web
+pages they want to visit.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;This is part of the reason why I believe it is important for Debian
+and Debian Edu to have a well working Flash implementation in the
+distribution, to get at least popular sites as Youtube and Google
+Video to working out of the box.  For Squeeze, Debian have the chance
+to include the latest version of Gnash that will make this happen, as
+the new release 0.8.8 was published a few weeks ago and is resting in
+unstable.  The new version work with more sites that version 0.8.7.
+The Gnash maintainers have asked for a freeze exception, but the
+release team have not had time to reply to it yet.  I hope they agree
+with me that Flash is important for the Debian desktop users, and thus
+accept the new package into Squeeze.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;These days, the init.d script dependencies in Squeeze are quite
-complete, so complete that it is actually possible to run all the
-init.d scripts in parallell based on these dependencies.  If you want
-to test your Squeeze system, make sure
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts/DependencyBasedBoot&quot;&gt;dependency
-based boot sequencing&lt;/a&gt; is enabled, and add this line to
-/etc/default/rcS:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-CONCURRENCY=makefile
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;That is it.  It will cause sysv-rc to use the startpar tool to run
-scripts in parallel using the dependency information stored in
-/etc/init.d/.depend.boot, /etc/init.d/.depend.start and
-/etc/init.d/.depend.stop to order the scripts.  Startpar is configured
-to try to start the kdm and gdm scripts as early as possible, and will
-start the facilities required by kdm or gdm as early as possible to
-make this happen.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Give it a try, and see if you like the result.  If some services
-fail to start properly, it is most likely because they have incomplete
-init.d script dependencies in their startup script (or some of their
-dependent scripts have incomplete dependencies).  Report bugs and get
-the package maintainers to fix it. :)&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Running scripts in parallel could be the default in Debian when we
-manage to get the init.d script dependencies complete and correct.  I
-expect we will get there in Squeeze+1, if we get manage to test and
-fix the remaining issues.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you report any problems with dependencies in init.d scripts to
-the BTS, please usertag the report to get it to show up at
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=initscripts-ng-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org&quot;&gt;the
-list of usertagged bugs related to this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;This evening I made my first Perl GUI application.  The last few
+days I have worked on a Perl module for controlling my recently
+aquired Spykee robots, and the module is now getting complete enought
+that it is possible to use it to control the robot driving at least.
+It was now time to figure out how to use it to create some GUI to
+allow me to drive the robot around.  I picked PerlQt as I have had
+positive experiences with the Qt API before, and spent a few minutes
+browsing the web for examples.  Using Qt Designer seemed like a short
+cut, so I ended up writing the perl GUI using Qt Designer and
+compiling it into a perl program using the puic program from
+libqt-perl.  Nothing fancy yet, but it got buttons to connect and
+drive around.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The perl module I have written provide a object oriented API for
+controlling the robot.  Here is an small example on how to use it:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+use Spykee;
+Spykee::discover(sub {$robot{$_[0]} = $_[1]});
+my $host = (keys %robot)[0];
+my $spykee = Spykee-&gt;new();
+$spykee-&gt;contact($host, &quot;admin&quot;, &quot;admin&quot;);
+$spykee-&gt;left();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee-&gt;right();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee-&gt;forward();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee-&gt;back();
+sleep 2;
+$spykee-&gt;stop();
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Thanks to the release of the source of the robot firmware, I could
+peek into the implementation at the other end to figure out how to
+implement the protocol used by the robot.  I&#39;ve implemented several of
+the commands the robot understand, but is still missing the camera
+support to make it possible to control the robot from remote.  First I
+want to implement support for uploading new firmware and configuring
+the wireless network, to make it possible to bootstrap a Spykee robot
+without the producers Windows and MacOSX software (I only have Linux,
+so I had to ask a friend to come over to get the robot testing
+going. :).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Will release the source to the public soon, but need to figure out
+where to make it available first.  I will add a link to 
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.nuug.no/grupper/robot/&quot;&gt;the NUUG wiki&lt;/a&gt; for
+those that want to check back later to find it.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;One interesting feature in Active Directory, is the ability to
-create a new user with an expired password, and thus force the user to
-change the password on the first login attempt.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m not quite sure how to do that with the LDAP setup in Debian
-Edu, but did some initial testing with a local account.  The account
-and password aging information is available in /etc/shadow, but
-unfortunately, it is not possible to specify an expiration time for
-passwords, only a maximum age for passwords.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A freshly created account (using adduser test) will have these
-settings in /etc/shadow:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-root@tjener:~# chage -l test
-Last password change                                    : May 02, 2010
-Password expires                                        : never
-Password inactive                                       : never
-Account expires                                         : never
-Minimum number of days between password change          : 0
-Maximum number of days between password change          : 99999
-Number of days of warning before password expires       : 7
-root@tjener:~#
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The only way I could come up with to create a user with an expired
-account, is to change the date of the last password change to the
-lowest value possible (January 1th 1970), and the maximum password age
-to the difference in days between that date and today.  To make it
-simple, I went for 30 years (30 * 365 = 10950) and January 2th (to
-avoid testing if 0 is a valid value).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;After using these commands to set it up, it seem to work as
-intended:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
-root@tjener:~# chage -d 1 test; chage -M 10950 test
-root@tjener:~# chage -l test
-Last password change                                    : Jan 02, 1970
-Password expires                                        : never
-Password inactive                                       : never
-Account expires                                         : never
-Minimum number of days between password change          : 0
-Maximum number of days between password change          : 10950
-Number of days of warning before password expires       : 7
-root@tjener:~#  
-&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;So far I have tested this with ssh and console, and kdm (in
-Squeeze) login, and all ask for a new password before login in the
-user (with ssh, I was thrown out and had to log in again).&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Perhaps we should set up something similar for Debian Edu, to make
-sure only the user itself have the account password?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to comment on or help out with implementing this for
-Debian Edu, please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2010-05-02 17:20: Paul Tötterman tells me on IRC that the
-shadow(8) page in Debian/testing now state that setting the date of
-last password change to zero (0) will force the password to be changed
-on the first login.  This was not mentioned in the manual in Lenny, so
-I did not notice this in my initial testing.  I have tested it on
-Squeeze, and &#39;&lt;tt&gt;chage -d 0 username&lt;/tt&gt;&#39; do work there.  I have not
-tested it on Lenny yet.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Update 2010-05-02-19:05: Jim Paris tells me via email that an
-equivalent command to expire a password is &#39;&lt;tt&gt;passwd -e
-username&lt;/tt&gt;&#39;, which insert zero into the date of the last password
-change.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Ble tipset i dag om at et forslag om å stoppe forsøkene med
+elektronisk stemmegiving utenfor valglokaler er
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Saker/Sak/?p=46616&quot;&gt;til
+behandling&lt;/a&gt; i Stortinget.
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stortinget.no/Global/pdf/Representantforslag/2009-2010/dok8-200910-128.pdf&quot;&gt;Forslaget&lt;/a&gt;
+er fremmet av Erna Solberg, Michael Tetzschner og Trond Helleland.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Håper det får flertall.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>
                <description>

-&lt;p&gt;For some years now, I have wondered how we should handle laptops in
-Debian Edu.  The Debian Edu infrastructure is mostly designed to
-handle stationary computers, and less suited for computers that come
-and go.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Now I finally believe I have an sensible idea on how to adjust
-Debian Edu for laptops, by introducing a new profile for them, for
-example called Roaming Workstations.  Here are my thought on this.
-The setup would consist of the following:&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;ul&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;During installation, the user name of the owner / primary user of
-   the laptop is requested and a local home directory is set up for
-   the user, with uid and gid information fetched from the LDAP
-   server.  This allow the user to work also when offline.  The
-   central home directory can be available in a subdirectory on
-   request, for example mounted via CIFS.  It could be mounted
-   automatically when a user log in while on the Debian Edu network,
-   and unmounted when the machine is taken away (network down,
-   hibernate, etc), it can be set up to do automatic mounting on
-   request (using autofs), or perhaps some GUI button on the desktop
-   can be used to access it when needed.  Perhaps it is enough to use
-   the fish protocol in KDE?&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;Password checking is set up to use LDAP or Kerberos
-   authentication when the machine is on the Debian Edu network, and
-   to cache the password for offline checking when the machine unable
-   to reach the LDAP or Kerberos server.  This can be done using
-   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.padl.com/OSS/pam_ccreds.html&quot;&gt;libpam-ccreds&lt;/a&gt;
-   or the Fedora developed
-   &lt;a href=&quot;https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SSSD&quot;&gt;System
-   Security Services Daemon&lt;/a&gt; packages.&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;File synchronisation with the central home directory is set up
-   using a shared directory in both the local and the central home
-   directory, using unison.&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;Printing should be set up to print to all printers broadcasting
-   their existence on the local network, and should then work out of
-   the box with CUPS.  For sites needing accurate printer quotas, some
-   system with Kerberos authentication or printing via ssh could be
-   implemented.&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;For users that should have local root access to their laptop,
-   sudo should be used to allow this to the local user.&lt;/li&gt;
-
- &lt;li&gt;It would be nice if user and group information from LDAP is
-   cached on the client, but given that there are entries for the
-   local user and primary group in /etc/, it should not be needed.&lt;/li&gt;
-
-&lt;/ul&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I believe all the pieces to implement this are in Debian/testing at
-the moment.  If we work quickly, we should be able to get this ready
-in time for the Squeeze release to freeze.  Some of the pieces need
-tweaking, like libpam-ccreds should get support for pam-auth-update
-(&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/566718&quot;&gt;#566718&lt;/a&gt;) and nslcd (or
-perhaps debian-edu-config) should get some integration code to stop
-its daemon when the LDAP server is unavailable to avoid long timeouts
-when disconnected from the net.  If we get Kerberos enabled, we need
-to make sure we avoid long timeouts there too.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you want to help out with implementing this for Debian Edu,
-please contact us on debian-edu@lists.debian.org.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Just got an email from Tobias Gruetzmacher as a followup on my
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Broken_umask_handling_with_sshfs.html&quot;&gt;previous
+post about sshfs&lt;/a&gt;.  He reported another problem with sshfs.  It
+fail to handle hard links properly.  A simple way to spot this is to
+look at the . and .. entries in the directory tree.  These should have
+a link count &gt;1, but on sshfs the count is 1.  I just tested to see
+what happen when trying to hardlink, and this fail as well:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+% ln foo bar
+ln: creating hard link `bar&#39; =&gt; `foo&#39;: Function not implemented
+%
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I have not yet found time to implement a test for this in my file
+system test code, but believe having working hard links is useful to
+avoid surprised unix programs.  Not as useful as working file locking
+and symlinks, which are required to get a working desktop, but useful
+nevertheless. :)&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The latest version of the file system test code is available via
+git from
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/gebi/fs-test&quot;&gt;http://github.com/gebi/fs-test&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>

-&lt;p&gt;The last few weeks i have had the pleasure of reading a
-thought-provoking collection of essays by Cory Doctorow, on topics
-touching copyright, virtual worlds, the future of man when the
-conscience mind can be duplicated into a computer and many more. The
-book titled &quot;Content: Selected Essays on Technology, Creativity,
-Copyright, and the Future of the Future&quot; is available with few
-restrictions on the web, for example from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://craphound.com/content/&quot;&gt;his own site&lt;/a&gt;. I read the
-epub-version from
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2883&quot;&gt;feedbooks&lt;/a&gt; using
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fbreader.org/&quot;&gt;fbreader&lt;/a&gt; and my N810. I
-strongly recommend this book.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg skrev for et halvt år siden hvordan
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Sikkerhet__teater__og_hvordan_gj__re_verden_sikrere.html&quot;&gt;samfunnet
+kaster bort ressurser på sikkerhetstiltak som ikke fungerer&lt;/a&gt;.  Kom
+nettopp over en
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.askthepilot.com/essays-and-stories/terrorism-tweezers-and-terminal-madness-an-essay-on-security/&quot;&gt;historie
+fra en pilot fra USA&lt;/a&gt; som kommenterer det samme.  Jeg mistenker det
+kun er uvitenhet og autoritetstro som gjør at så få protesterer.  Har
+veldig sans for piloten omtalt i &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/article2057501.ece&quot;&gt;Aftenposten&lt;/a&gt; 2007-10-23,
+og skulle ønske flere rettet oppmerksomhet mot problemet.  Det gir
+ikke meg trygghetsfølelse på flyplassene når jeg ser at
+flyplassadministrasjonen kaster bort folk, penger og tid på tull i
+stedet for ting som bidrar til reell økning av sikkerheten.  Det
+forteller meg jo at vurderingsevnen til de som burde bidra til økt
+sikkerhet er svært sviktende, noe som ikke taler godt for de andre
+tiltakene.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Mon tro hva som skjer hvis det fantes en enkel brosjyre å skrive ut
+fra Internet som forklarte hva som er galt med sikkerhetsopplegget på
+flyplassene, og folk skrev ut og la en bunke på flyplassene når de
+passerte.  Kanskje det ville fått flere til å få øynene opp for
+problemet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Personlig synes jeg flyopplevelsen er blitt så avskyelig at jeg
+forsøker å klare meg med tog, bil og båt for å slippe ubehaget.  Det
+er dog noe vanskelig i det langstrakte Norge og for å kunne besøke de
+delene av verden jeg ønsker å nå.  Mistenker at flere har det slik, og
+at dette går ut over inntjeningen til flyselskapene.  Det er antagelig
+en god ting sett fra et miljøperspektiv, men det er en annen sak.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20100413-kerberos/&quot;&gt;Yesterdays
-NUUG presentation&lt;/a&gt; about Kerberos was inspiring, and reminded me
-about the need to start using Kerberos in Skolelinux.  Setting up a
-Kerberos server seem to be straight forward, and if we get this in
-place a long time before the Squeeze version of Debian freezes, we
-have a chance to migrate Skolelinux away from NFSv3 for the home
-directories, and over to an architecture where the infrastructure do
-not have to trust IP addresses and machines, and instead can trust
-users and cryptographic keys instead.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A challenge will be integration and administration.  Is there a
-Kerberos implementation for Debian where one can control the
-administration access in Kerberos using LDAP groups?  With it, the
-school administration will have to maintain access control using flat
-files on the main server, which give a huge potential for errors.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;A related question I would like to know is how well Kerberos and
-pam-ccreds (offline password check) work together.  Anyone know?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Next step will be to use Kerberos for access control in Lwat and
-Nagios.  I have no idea how much work that will be to implement.  We
-would also need to document how to integrate with Windows AD, as such
-shared network will require two Kerberos realms that need to cooperate
-to work properly.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;I believe a good start would be to start using Kerberos on the
-skolelinux.no machines, and this way get ourselves experience with
-configuration and integration.  A natural starting point would be
-setting up ldap.skolelinux.no as the Kerberos server, and migrate the
-rest of the machines from PAM via LDAP to PAM via Kerberos one at the
-time.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;If you would like to contribute to get this working in Skolelinux,
-I recommend you to see the video recording from yesterdays NUUG
-presentation, and start using Kerberos at home.  The video show show
-up in a few days.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Denne høsten skal endelig alle Osloskolene få mulighet til å bruke
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt;.  Ny IT-løsning
+har vært rullet ut i noen måneder nå, og så vidt jeg fikk vite før
+sommeren skulle alle skoler ha nytt opplegg på plass før oppstart nå i
+høst.  På alle skolene skal en kunne velge ved installasjon om en skal
+ha Windows eller Skolelinux på maskinene, og en kan i tillegg
+PXE-boote maskinene over nett som tynne klienter eller diskløse
+arbeidsstasjoner. Jeg er spent på hvor mange skoler som velger å ta i
+bruk Skolelinux, og gleder meg til å se hvordan dette utvikler seg.
+Løsningen leveres av
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.logica.no/&quot;&gt;Logica&lt;/a&gt; med
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slxdrift.no/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux Drift AS&lt;/a&gt; som
+underleverandør, og jeg har vært involvert i utviklingen av løsningen
+via Skolelinux Drift AS siden prosjektet starter.  Jeg synes det er
+fantastisk at Skolelinux er kommet så langt siden vi startet i 2001 at
+alle elevene i Osloskolene nå skal få mulighet til å bruke
+løsningen.  Jeg håper de vil sette pris på alle de
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.no/linux-signpost/&quot;&gt;fantastiske
+brukerprogrammene&lt;/a&gt; som er tilgjengelig i Skolelinux.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fotball.aftenposten.no/incoming/article163000.ece&quot;&gt;Aftenposten
-melder&lt;/a&gt; på forsiden av webavisen sin at de tror Erling Fossen
-provoserer nordlendinger med sine uttalelser på
-fotballtinget.  Jeg er utflyttet nordlending, og må innrømme at jeg
-ikke kjennet så mye som et snev av provokasjon fra denne litt morsomme
-uttalelsen til Hr. Fossen.  Lurer på om Aftenposten har noen kilder
-utenom redaksjonen for sin påstand om at nordledinger er provosert av
-Hr. Fossen.  Må innrømme at jeg tviler på det.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Det hele bringer tankene tilbake til Sture Hansen i Hallo i Uken.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;My file system sematics program
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Testing_if_a_file_system_can_be_used_for_home_directories___.html&quot;&gt;presented
+a few days ago&lt;/a&gt; is very useful to verify that a file system can
+work as a unix home directory,and today I had to extend it a bit.  I&#39;m
+looking into alternatives for home directory access here at the
+University of Oslo, and one of the options is sshfs.  My friend
+Finn-Arne mentioned a while back that they had used sshfs with Debian
+Edu, but stopped because of problems.  I asked today what the problems
+where, and he mentioned that sshfs failed to handle umask properly.
+Trying to detect the problem I wrote this addition to my fs testing
+script:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+mode_t touch_get_mode(const char *name, mode_t mode) {
+  mode_t retval = 0;
+  int fd = open(name, O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_LARGEFILE, mode);
+  if (-1 != fd) {
+    unlink(name);
+    struct stat statbuf;
+    if (-1 != fstat(fd, &amp;statbuf)) {
+      retval = statbuf.st_mode &amp; 0x1ff;
+    }
+    close(fd);
+  }
+  return retval;
+}
+
+/* Try to detect problem discovered using sshfs */
+int test_umask(void) {
+  printf(&quot;info: testing umask effect on file creation\n&quot;);
+
+  mode_t orig_umask = umask(000);
+  mode_t newmode;
+  if (0666 != (newmode = touch_get_mode(&quot;foobar&quot;, 0666))) {
+    printf(&quot;  error: Wrong file mode %o when creating using mode 666 and umask 000\n&quot;,
+           newmode);
+  }
+  umask(007);
+  if (0660 != (newmode = touch_get_mode(&quot;foobar&quot;, 0666))) {
+    printf(&quot;  error: Wrong file mode %o when creating using mode 666 and umask 007\n&quot;,
+           newmode);
+  }
+
+  umask (orig_umask);
+  return 0;
+}
+
+int main(int argc, char **argv) {
+  [...]
+  test_umask();
+  return 0;
+}
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Sure enough.  On NFS to a netapp, I get this result:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+Testing POSIX/Unix sematics on file system
+info: testing symlink creation
+info: testing subdirectory creation
+info: testing fcntl locking
+  Read-locking 1 byte from 1073741824
+  Read-locking 510 byte from 1073741826
+  Unlocking 1 byte from 1073741824
+  Write-locking 1 byte from 1073741824
+  Write-locking 510 byte from 1073741826
+  Unlocking 2 byte from 1073741824
+info: testing umask effect on file creation
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;When mounting the same directory using sshfs, I get this
+result:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;pre&gt;
+Testing POSIX/Unix sematics on file system
+info: testing symlink creation
+info: testing subdirectory creation
+info: testing fcntl locking
+  Read-locking 1 byte from 1073741824
+  Read-locking 510 byte from 1073741826
+  Unlocking 1 byte from 1073741824
+  Write-locking 1 byte from 1073741824
+  Write-locking 510 byte from 1073741826
+  Unlocking 2 byte from 1073741824
+info: testing umask effect on file creation
+  error: Wrong file mode 644 when creating using mode 666 and umask 000
+  error: Wrong file mode 640 when creating using mode 666 and umask 007
+&lt;/pre&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So, I can conclude that sshfs is better than smb to a Netapp or a
+Windows server, but not good enough to be used as a home
+directory.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2010-08-26: Reported the issue in
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/594498&quot;&gt;BTS report #594498&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Update 2010-08-27: Michael Gebetsroither report that he found the
+script so useful that he created a GIT repository and stored it in
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/gebi/fs-test&quot;&gt;http://github.com/gebi/fs-test&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>

-&lt;p&gt;6 years ago, as part of the Debian Edu development I am involved
-in, I asked for a hook in the kdm and gdm setup to run scripts as root
-when the user log out.  A bug was submitted against the xfree86-common
-package in 2004 (&lt;a href=&quot;http://bugs.debian.org/230422&quot;&gt;#230422&lt;/a&gt;),
-and revisited every time Debian Edu was working on a new release.
-Today, this finally paid off.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;The framework for this feature was today commited to the git
-repositry for the xorg package, and the git repository for xdm has
-been updated to use this framework.  Next on my agenda is to make sure
-kdm and gdm also add code to use this framework.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;In Debian Edu, we want to ability to run commands as root when the
-user log out, to get rid of runaway processes and do general cleanup
-after a user.  With this framework in place, we finally can do that in
-a generic way that work with all display managers using this
-framework.  My goal is to get all display managers in Debian use it,
-similar to how they use the Xsession.d framework today.&lt;p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;I Norge pågår en prosess for å
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.e-valg.dep.no/&quot;&gt;innføre elektronisk
+stemmegiving&lt;/a&gt; ved kommune- og stortingsvalg.  Dette skal
+introduseres i 2011.  Det er all grunn til å tro at valg i Norge ikke
+vil være til å stole på hvis dette blir gjennomført.  Da det hele var
+oppe til høring i 2006 forfattet jeg
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nuug.no/dokumenter/valg-horing-2006-09.pdf&quot;&gt;en
+høringsuttalelse fra NUUG&lt;/a&gt; (og EFN som hengte seg på) som skisserte
+hvilke punkter som må oppfylles for at en skal kunne stole på et valg,
+og elektronisk stemmegiving mangler flere av disse.  Elektronisk
+stemmegiving er for alle praktiske formål å putte ens stemme i en sort
+boks under andres kontroll, og satse på at de som har kontroll med
+boksen er til å stole på - uten at en har mulighet til å verifisere
+dette selv.  Det er ikke slik en gjennomfører demokratiske valg.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Da problemet er fundamentalt med hvordan elektronisk stemmegiving
+må fungere for at også ikke-krypografer skal kunne delta, har det vært
+mange rapporter om hvordan elektronisk stemmegiving har sviktet i land
+etter land.  En
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.nuug.no/uttalelser/2006-elektronisk-stemmegiving&quot;&gt;liten
+samling referanser&lt;/a&gt; finnes på NUUGs wiki.  Den siste er fra India,
+der valgkomisjonen har valgt
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/jhalderm/electronic-voting-researcher-arrested-over-anonymous-source&quot;&gt;å
+pusse politiet på en forsker&lt;/a&gt; som har dokumentert svakheter i
+valgsystemet.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Her i Norge har en valgt en annen tilnærming, der en forsøker seg
+med teknobabbel for å få befolkningen til å tro at dette skal bli
+sikkert.  Husk, elektronisk stemmegiving underminerer de demokratiske
+valgene i Norge, og bør ikke innføres.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Den offentlige diskusjonen blir litt vanskelig av at media har
+valgt å kalle dette &quot;evalg&quot;, som kan sies å både gjelde elektronisk
+opptelling av valget som Norge har gjort siden 60-tallet og som er en
+svært god ide, og elektronisk opptelling som er en svært dårlig ide.
+Diskusjonen gir ikke mening hvis en skal diskutere om en er for eller
+mot &quot;evalg&quot;, og jeg forsøker derfor å være klar på at jeg snakker om
+elektronisk stemmegiving og unngå begrepet &quot;evalg&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;Den norske bokbransjen har
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digi.no/823912/nei-til-moms-paa-e-boker&quot;&gt;bedt om at

-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.digi.no/836875/moms-paa-alt-digitalt-innhold&quot;&gt;finansdepartementet
-har sagt nei&lt;/a&gt;.  Det er et interessant spørsmål om digitale bøker

-&lt;p&gt;Papirbøker har mva-fritak pga. at de fremmer kultur- og
-kunnskapsspredning.  Digitale bøker uten digitale
-restriksjonsmekanismer (DRM) fremmer kultur- og kunnskapsspredning,
-mens digitale bøker med DRM hindrer kultur og kunnskapsspredning.
-Digitale bøker uten DRM bør få mva-fritak da det er salg av bøker på
-lik linje med salg av papirbøker, mens digitale bøker med DRM ikke bør
-få det da det er utleie av bøker og ikke salg.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Jeg foretrekker å kjøpe bøker, og velger dermed å la være å bruke
-DRM-belastede digitale bøker.  Vet ikke helt hva jeg ville være villig
-til å betale for å leie en bok, men tror ikke det er mange kronene.
-Heldigvis er det mye bøker tilgjengelig uten slike restriksjoner, og
-de som vil ha tak i engelske bøker kan laste ned bøker som er
-tilgjengelig uten bruksbegresninger fra &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/&quot;&gt;The
-Internet Archive&lt;/a&gt;. Der er det pr. i dag 1 889 313 bøker
-tilgjengelig. De er tilgjengelig i flere formater. Besøk
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/texts&quot;&gt;oversikten over tekster
-der&lt;/a&gt; for å se hva de har.
+&lt;p&gt;I dag fikk jeg endelig tittet litt på mine nyinnkjøpte roboter, og
+har brukt noen timer til å google etter interessante referanser og
+aktuell kildekode for bruk på Linux.  Det mest lovende så langt er
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://ispykee.toyz.org/&quot;&gt;ispykee&lt;/a&gt;, som har en
+BSD-lisensiert linux-daemon som står som mellomledd mellom roboter på
+lokalnettet og en sentral tjeneste der en iPhone kan koble seg opp for
+å fjernstyre roboten.  Linux-daemonen implementerer deler av
+protokollen som roboten forstår.  Etter å ha knotet litt med å oppnå
+kontakt med roboten (den oppretter et eget ad-hoc wifi-nett, så jeg
+måtte gå av mitt vanlige nett for å få kontakt), og kommet frem til at
+den lytter på IP-port 9000 og 9001, gikk jeg i gang med å finne ut
+hvordan jeg kunne snakke med roboten vha. disse portene.  Robotbiten
+av protokollen er publisert av produsenten med GPL-lisens, slik at det
+er mulig å se hvordan protokollen fungerer.  Det finnes en java-klient
+for Android som så ganske snasen ut, men fant ingen kildekode for
+denne.  Derimot hadde iphone-løsningen kildekode, så jeg tok
+utgangspunkt i den.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Daemonen ville i utgangspunktet forsøke å kontakte den sentrale
+tjenesten som iphone-programmet kobler seg til.  Jeg skrev dette om
+til i stedet å sette opp en nettverkstjeneste på min lokale maskin,
+som jeg kan koble meg opp til med telnet og gi kommandoer til roboten
+(act, forward, right, left, etc).  Det involverte i praksis å bytte ut
+socket()/connect() med socket()/bind()/listen()/accept() for å gjøre
+klienten om til en tjener.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Mens jeg har forsøkt å få roboten til å bevege seg har min samboer
+skrudd sammen resten av roboten for å få montert kamera og plastpynten
+(armer, plastfiber for lys).  Nå er det hele montert, og roboten er
+klar til bruk.  Må få flyttet den over til mitt vanlige trådløsnett
+før det blir praktisk, men de bitene av protokollen er ikke
+implementert i ispykee-daemonen, så der må jeg enten få tak i en mac
+eller en windows-maskin, eller implementere det selv.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Vi var tre som kjøpte slike roboter, og vi har blitt enige om å
+samle notater og referanser på &lt;a
+href=&quot;http://wiki.nuug.no/grupper/robot/&quot;&gt;NUUGs wiki&lt;/a&gt;.  Ta en titt
+der hvis du er nysgjerrig.&lt;/p&gt;

-&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, the Debian/Lenny based version of
-&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.skolelinux.org/&quot;&gt;Skolelinux&lt;/a&gt; was finally
-shipped.  This was a major leap forward for the project, and I am very
-pleased that we finally got the release wrapped up.  Work on the first
-point release starts imediately, as we plan to get that one out a
-month after the major release, to include all fixes for bugs we found
-and fixed too late in the release process to include last Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;Perhaps it even is time for some partying?&lt;/p&gt;
-
-&lt;p&gt;After this first point release, my plan is to focus again on the
-next major release, based on Squeeze.  We will try to get as many of
-the fixes we need into the official Debian packages before the freeze,
-and have just a few weeks or months to make it happen.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;Jeg kjøpte nettopp to
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.spykee-robot.com/&quot;&gt;Spykee&lt;/a&gt;-roboter, for test og
+leking.  Kjøpte to da det var så billige, og gir meg mulighet til å
+eksperimentere uten å være veldig redd for å ødelegge alt ved å bytte
+ut firmware og slikt.  Oppdaget at lekebutikken på Bryn senter hadde
+en liten stabel på lager som de ikke hadde klart å selge ut etter
+fjorårets juleinnkjøp, og var villig til å selge for en femtedel av
+vanlig pris.  Jeg, Ronny og Jarle har skaffet oss restbeholdningen, og
+det blir morsomt å se hva vi får ut av dette.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Roboten har belter styrt av to motorer, kamera, høytaler, mikrofon
+og wifi-tilkobling.  Det hele styrt av en GPL-lisensiert databoks som
+jeg mistenker kjører linux.  Firmware-kildekoden ble visst publisert i
+mai.  Eneste utfordringen er at kontroller-programvaren kun finnes til
+Windows, men det må en kunne jobbe seg rundt når vi har kildekoden til
+firmwaren. :)&lt;/p&gt;
