FreeRADIUS Builds

Have been helping people out with their FreeRADIUS deployments (usually for hotspots). As a result, I’ve started a little collection of Freeradius packages that I’ve built for Ubuntu. FreeRadius is available from the repositories but what you get sometimes is not the latest and greatest. I’m putting my builds

What PHP, JSON, jQuery and James Cameron have in common

Over the holidays, I spend a few days in Accra. While I was there, one of the things at the top of my todo list was to go and watch James Cameron’s Avatar (which I hear is a fantastic movie, by the way). Only place to watch it of

Does your RADIUS server think “user” = “USER”?

If you happen to manage a hotspot that uses Freeradius with the sql module for authentication, you might want to pay attention. The default queries used by Freeradius sql module are case-insensitive. So if user “kwame” is successfully authenticated, another user “Kwame” can also successfully autheticate. And so can

Replacing HP QuickPlay with XBMC(or any other application)

I love my HP dv6915nr. It’s not the fastest or prettiest notebook around but it does most of what I want it to and does it quite well. However, one of the things that I hate is the bundled HP Quickplay software, which like the name suggests allows you

Taking the plunge: Jaunty

Around 4am this morning, I finally decided to take the plunge and upgrade my Ubuntu installation to Jaunty.(Yes, I know the release date is tomorrow but I just can’t wait anymore). The simplest way to go about that is to hit Alt-F2 and then run:update-manager -dThat will add the

The Quest for the Ultimate Desktop

I’m on a quest for a mythical object; an aesthetically pleasing desktop that is not too distracting and lets me keep track of my tasks. This is the result of my search so far. Starting from the top: I use Rocket Dock to

Restoring Default Metacity button layout

I wanted to try out the GlassyBleu theme that gets bundled with HP’s version of Ubuntu(MIE) for netbooks. However, after applying the theme, I noticed something was off: I had been using the Mac4Lin theme previously and as you have probably noticed, OSX’s window decoration layout is a bit
