[arch-general] [OffTopic] Wireless keyboard Security
Recently I am looking for an ergonomic keyboard to replace my old samsung pleomax keyboard. I wanted to buy microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 but that is not in the market and the only other keyboard I find is logitech ergonomic keyboard K350.The keyboard is very comfortable to type and works out-of-the box with linux. But the thing is that it is wireless and after a search of "wireless keyboard security" on google i am a bit paranoid about using any wireless keyboard.Also I did not find any encryption option if used by the keyboard while using the logitech provided setpoint software on windows XP and logitech site does not mention if the keyboard uses encryption.Does this keyboard uses some hardware in-built encryption that logitech does not divulge ? If others on the list are using wireless keyboard, what are your experiences and recommendations ?

Wow, didn't know syslog did all that. I won't be changing the
permissions though, but now have more to learn. Thanks a bunch.

Hi group When I make my auth.log file world-readable (big security risk), the system reverts it to unreadable by world. Could someone tell me what kind program/daemon is changing the permissions back and if said daemon has a log somewhere. I would like to shake its hand. something out of cron?

The usage message also mentions pkgbase, so this would be expected behavior.

If the signoff of a junior dev is good for you:

It had been in [testing] for multiple weeks so a sign-off from anyone
was good for me...
Thanks

Re: [arch-general] How to convert a 32-bit system to 64-bit?

I could reinstall Arch, but is there any easier way to do the "upgrade"? I'd like to retain my list of applications, configuration and user files. It's pretty easy to generate a text file with your applications. Just use pacman -Qqe > explicit.txt pacman -Qqm > local.txt pacman -S $(< explicit.txt) yaourt -S $(< local.txt)
