Viscosity VPN Client – Routing private networks
by dirk on Aug.29, 2009, under OS X
Excerpt from Viscosity Support Forums:
Problem is, I want the standard 192.168.x.x and the 10.x.x.x networks to be routed locally, not through the VPN.
Try the following:
1. Go to the Viscosity menu, select Preferences, and Edit your connection
2. Click on the networking tab
3. Click the small “+” button in the Routing section to add a new route
4. Enter a Route/IP of “192.168.0.0″ (no quotes). Enter a submask of “255.255.0.0″. Enter a gateway of “net_gateway”. Click the Add button.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4, expect with a Route/IP of “10.0.0.0″, and a submask of “255.0.0.0″
6. Click the Save button and try connecting.
The “net_gateway” command instructs the traffic to be routed through your normal local gateway rather than through the VPN connection.

Lotus Domino 8.0.2 update hickups
by dirk on Sep.30, 2008, under Uncategorized
After updating a Domino Server from 8.0 to 8.0.2 on RHEL and installation of the german language pack, the console.log looked very strange:
30.09.2008 16:18:53 33:02 ConvertZoneToText: Warning Time Zone -1 not found! 30.09.2008 16:18:53 33:14 ConvertZoneToText: Warning Time Zone -1 not found!
After a little research the problem cleared up: domino is missing ressource files for the servers default language. This was solved after the correct language was set in the rc_script:
DOMINO_LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"

bash customizing in OS X Leopard
by dirk on Sep.27, 2008, under OS, OS X
Since I’m using Mac OS X for admin tasks at work I was annoyed about the keymappings and presets in Terminal.app. As bash is the standard shell in Leopard, I missed the settings that I’m accustomed to as a long term Linux user and admin.
If every solution could be so easy. Just create the neccessary config files:
touch ~/.bash_profile
paste the following code in ~/.bash_profile:
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then source ~/.bashrc fi
touch ~/.bashrc
As usual, you can tweak almost all bash settings in your “~/.bashrc”.
Here are some examples:
# Define how Bash prompt looks like: # # User @ Host - working dir export PS1='\u@\h\w: ' # Cli Colors export CLICOLOR=1 # use bold blue for dir’s export LSCOLORS=Exfxcxdxbxegedabagacad # history handling # # Erase duplicates export HISTCONTROL=erasedups # resize history size export HISTSIZE=5000 # append to bash_history if Terminal.app quits shopt -s histappend alias l='ls -al'
Adapt the keyboard mappings to your needs:
touch ~/.inputrc
The following code shows some example setting for your ~/.inputrc:
# do not bell on tab-completion set bell-style none # set bell-style visible set convert-meta off set input-meta on set output-meta on set show-all-if-ambiguous on set visible-stats on set completion-ignore-case On "\e[1~": beginning-of-line "\e[4~": end-of-line "\e[5~": history-search-backward "\e[6~": history-search-forward "\e[3~": delete-char "\e[2~": quoted-insert "\e[5C": forward-word "\e[5D": backward-word "\e\e[C": forward-word "\e\e[D": backward-word
