How to configure PureFTPd over SSL
Pure-FTPd is a free (BSD), secure, production-quality and standard-conformant FTP server. It doesn’t provide useless bells and whistles, but focuses on efficiency and ease of use. It provides simple answers to common needs, plus unique useful features for personal users as well as hosting providers.
Pure-FTPd is actively supported, and it was always designed with security in mind, and the code is always re-audited as new kind of vulnerabilities are discussed. The server can run with privilege separation for paranoid security. It can even run 100% non-root, with its built-in chroot() emulation and virtual accounts. Transmission of cleartext passwords and commands can be avoided : Pure-FTPd has optional support for an SSL/TLS encryption layer using the OpenSSL library.
Basically this tutorial show you how to configure pureFTPd over SSL and this is based on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server with basic SLES setup.
- Install pureFTPd rpm either using rpm command or YaST
- Edit pureFTPd config file
vi /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf
ChrootEveryone yes
AnonymousOnly no

VerboseLog yes
PAMAuthentication yes

Malaysian Candidates Required to Have Blogs
Slashdot posted a linked from CNN about “Malaysian Candidates Required to Have Blogs”.
Seriously I think these new will be read by million of peoples over the world and I believed people will laugh at us especially our minister.
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Some candidates for posts in Malaysia’s ruling party will be required to set up blogs, an official said Friday, a turnaround for governing politicians who had derided online politicking.
Abdul Rahman Dahlan, secretary general of the United Malays National Organization party’s youth wing, said all those vying for national youth posts must have blogs to introduce themselves and their programs ahead of party elections in December.
It was not known if any senior leaders of the party will also start blogs to emulate opposition Democratic Action Party leader Lim Kit Siang, who has a popular Web journal.
But the decision appeared aimed at countering heavy losses that the ruling National Front coalition suffered in last month’s general elections, partly because they underestimated the power of online campaigning. The United Malays National Party dominates the coalition.
“All candidates must have blogs,” Abdul Rahman told The Associated Press. “If not, they are not qualified to be leaders.”
In the past, party politicians have said bloggers spread lies and rumors. Many of Malaysia’s blogs contain commentary critical of the government.
But now, even youth deputy Khairy Jamaluddin — who once compared bloggers to monkeys living by the law of the jungle — has a blog.
“The last election showed that we lost the cyberwar. We need to embrace the technology now,” Abdul Rahman said.
He said help will be available for party members who do not know how to create a blog.

How To Add New Username Using Default Password with OpenSSL in SuSE Linux Enterprise Server
How To Add New Username Using Default Password with OpenSSL in SuSE Linux Enterprise Server
Creating a single or two username in SLES is simple job but creating 100 or 1000 new usernames in Linux using manual command line would be pain.
I would like to share about using OpenSSL for creating new username in SLES and probably work for other Linux distro as well.
#Create a default password using OpenSSL
openssl passwd -crypt mysecretpassword
#Example of password output
D4KtJYzzCtz3x
#Create a new username(e.g. myusername1, 2 & 3using default password)
useradd -m myusername1 -d /home/myusername1 -p D4KtJYzzCtz3x
useradd -m myusername2 -d /home/myusername2 -p D4KtJYzzCtz3x
useradd -m myusername3 -d /home/myusername3 -p D4KtJYzzCtz3x
