Re: [Ilugc] Recovering data from a partially dead hard disk
You can try smartmontools (http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/) if SMART was enabled in hard disk. If it is a case of hardware failure best way is not to use the disk (because it may cause more damage.) and send it for hardware recovery. This is expensive though. Decide if data is worth it. from googling : If you cannot hear the platters spinning (i.e. it is quiet when it is turned > on) or you hear more serious noises then you should stop using the drive > immediately and you will need to send your drive to a hardware data recovery > service. > ( 'tak tak tak' qualifies as serious noise i guess) -- அகிலன் (Akilan R) (http://www.coding-aviator.blogspot.com) I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell. --Jean Rostand ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

[Ilugc] Perl script for Hacking :-)
Hello all,
My Joomla site had got hacked today morning... [atleast a dozen sites under
my host also got hacked]
I inquired with my webhost, he sent a Perl script that he said was probably
used for hacking.
I have no idea about Perl, perhaps any of you guys can do an analysis and
tell how exactly that script is working and achieving the result.
At least, people can be more careful in the future :-)

Its surprising to hear that a college has such an interest in FOSS to the extent of migrating entire infrastructure to GNU/Linux platform. Hats off to your great work :-) It seems within a few years all the educational institutions in TamilNadu will be using GNU/Linux, thanks to LinuXpert Systems :-):-) -- நன்றிகளுடன், விக்னேஷ். ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

We are about to setup 50+ FOSS labs for engineering colleges affiliated to Anna University, Coimbatore in the next 1 year. I am also requesting college sys. admins to join our ILUG-C mailing list to know about our activities. http://aufossa.org:8080/aufossa/search/home.action We are also planning to promote FOSS among the engg./arts colleges through Anna University Coimbatore Free and Open Source Software Association.

Re: [Ilugc] stall....
Thats good of your comments which i have seen above. But, the students from schools and other colleges are always the learners.. Its not the matter of 'newer topics' where the people get changed every time and the students in different stalls take up new stalls every new year. More over, every year new students from second year, third year and final year opt for demo stalls. They wish to learn new topics which are famous in the current scenario. Thats good of your comments, but foss is stilll developing : Within few years, more new technologies will be used :)) On Wed, Sep 8, 2010 at 10:00 AM, pavithran wrote: > On 8 September 2010 02:10, Aishwarya MB wrote: > > Last year too you picked out the same, why dont you guys try out TYPO3 > this > > time??? > > Ahh thats really bad .

Hi, >>Thanks, do you think all our work/efforts are getting paid. >>All the FOSS labs we have setup so far is completely done at free of cost. The institutions pay only for our expenses and we don't see any commercials in them. >>If it is a commercial activity, I won't be posting them in this list.

[Ilugc] setup Apache to redirect the fopen requests to proxy
Friends. My friend, a php developer is working inside a proxy environment. He is customizing an existing php application. It uses a lot of fopen functions to get content from some external websites. Because, his apache is inside a proxy, it can not fetch the contents. He is tired of rewriting the entire code from fopen to use cURL. Is there any way to tell the apache server to use the proxy server's auth credentials when it fetch the data from external sites?

Try in different machines. Put server as where the ejabberd is running. check from client that it pingable and nmap shows the jabber port. update here with the results. -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free/Open Source Jobs : http://fossjobs.in ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
