Tether your iPhone (use it as a modem)

I was almost convinced in buying PdaNet for iPhone (about 23€…) when i came across this post on http://digg.com/apple/The_Best_Way_to_Tether_Your_iPhone_to_Your_Laptop_for_Free

Here user Bots says that until version 1.33 PdaNet was free.

So, if you want version 1.33, do a google search for “modmyi repo.” Click the first link you see (something like http://modmyi.com/repo), then click “debs2″ (or 2debs, or whatever). Scroll down until you see pdanet1.33.deb, right click it and save to your computer.

Then, scp that into your phone and drop pdanet1.33.deb into /var/root/.

Now you’ve got to install pdnnet 1.33 in one of the following ways:

• if your phone is connected wifi, ssh into you phone with user root and defautl password “alpine” and type in the command dpkg -i /var/root/pdanet1.33.deb

• Using MobileTerminal (get if off Cydia if you have to) type in “su,” then type in your password, which is “alpine” by default. Then type in the command dpkg -i /var/root/pdanet1.33.deb

Wait for it to get done.

Then restart/respring your phone.

How To Configure QoS To Conform To Standard Marking Schemes

I was looking for more informations about QoS traffic marks, in particular about EF mark, trying to prioritize voip traffic …and i’ve found this doc very clear and “efficient” in explaining QoS tecniques.

This How To Note describes also how to deploy a QoS solution across an entire network.

I suggest reading it all !

PS: EF means Expedited Forwarding. This traffic is given highest priority. Packets being given this treatment are prioritized ahead of all other types of data.

samba force “user must change password at next logon”

After searching samba mailing lists and web for ways to do this it seems that

pdbedit --pwd-must-change-time=(0 or current time) 'username'

should do the trick (the man file for pdbedit or the samba manual does not mention how to do this).

But finally

net sam set pwdmustchangenow yes

worked for me!
