 Hi,
 
 Atleast the X Server has started now. Yes, the OS
 is RHL 9, the problem seemed to be with the monitor
 settings. But still, the maximum is 800x600, so
 still some work is left.
 
 BTW, has anyone used RHL 9 with Gigabyte KM266
 Chipset motherboard, with S3 ProSavage DDR. I
 recently upgraded my home machine and need to know
 if RHL 9 supports it. I couldn't get RHL 7.2 to
 start the X Server on it.
 
 Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

I have an S3 ProSavage KM133 on a via chipset and it works beautifully
with the savage driver in XFree86. I could even get it to go upto
1280x1024 resolution after tweaking aroung a bit with the monitor
configuration. The monitor I had was not standard so although it was
meant to do quite a lot but it was reporting its capability s only
1024x768. As to S3 ProSavage DDR never had it dont know whether it will
work. Though it was not listed in the card list which comes up in the
redhat-config-xfree86.

If you really want higher resolution you can try the fbdev driver on RHL
9 on the i845 although with this I think you have to pass the vga=xxx
parameter to the kernel for this to work. Currently I am using vga=791
and I also think this supports a max of 16 bpp and wont run under 24 bpp
so you will have to change this also in your XF86Config.

bye,

Re: [ilugd] Squid ACL in DHCP

2003-07-07 Thread Koushik Ghosh
hi
Although u r using DHCP , you can specify the network
as ex :- 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 (assume your network is 192.168.1.x
and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0).

you can write that as bellow -

 acl all  src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
 http_access allow localhost
 acl mynetwork  src 192.168.192.0/255.255.255.0 
# as per your network
 http_access allow mynetwork
 http_access deny all

You can shift to user authentication by ident if you have *nix boxes or

Squid config describes all these methods well

HI
   First of all check that modem is properly in stalled or not by going
to
kppp and click on query modem button, then go to modem commands
set proper init command like ATZ etc. and you need to check that
if you phnone line is pulse dialing or tone, then set
ATDT - for tone and ATDP - for pluse dialing , either of it should
persent on the list of the modem command. Change those as your
requirement.

[ilugd] (fwd) frodo.hserus.net box

2003-07-07 Thread Raj Mathur
[Suresh, whose machine we're currently hosting the ILUG-Delhi mailing
list on, has to switch boxes.  He's willing to continue the list on
the new box, but he's incurring some expenses, and was wondering if we
could help out a bit financially.  Rs 2500 was suggested as a one-time
commitment.

Please let the list know what you think about giving Suresh Rs 2500
for helping him set up his box.  We need to make this decision fast,
since the current frodo.hserus.net goes down on Wednesday evening.

We'll get hosting for the list on the new frodo even if we don't pay a
penny, so if we decide to help Suresh it'll be purely from the
generosity of our hearts.

Hi

I'll be getting a good box (duron 1.1 ghz, 256 megs RAM, 40 gigs fast 
hdd) at around USD 300 or a bit more than that.  Colo is free at my 
friend's facility in LA - on the understandign that only open source / 
non profit stuff like india-gii.org (and personal mail) are to be hosted 
there.

Would you be interested in sharing a bit of the cost?  ILUG Hyd'bad is 
committing for some 7500 rupees.

The box should be in place by tonight / tomorrow morning.

I'll pay the amount, you / other plutocratic members of ilugd can pay me 
as much of a share of the above amount as you like ... just transfer it 
to my citibank account or something similar.

Package: liece
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary file
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no

liece, an IRC client for Emacs, does not take appropriate security
precautions when creating temporary files.  This bug could potentially
be exploited to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the
user running Emacs and liece, potentially with contents supplied
by the attacker.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0+0.20020217cvs-2.1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0+0.20030527cvs-1.

We recommend that you update your liece package.

Upgrade Instructions
- 

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
will install corrected packages
