Good to see Commercial open source software.
Did you try it out LL, if so can you post a 'pre' review.

[ilugd] startx problem in RH9.0

[J.Mohamed Zahoor]

Hi all,
  I am using RH9.0. In recent times whenever i start X, the PC
hangs. Keyboard or mouse does not respond. The only option left 
is to reboot the PC. When i do a startx after rebooting the X comes
up. I tried running fsck manually (saw some advice in our previous
post). But the problem persists. I have attached the copy of 
XFree86.0.log. See if anything can be done..

try /etc/issue or /etc/issue.net works in most of the distros
but is very easy to be modified by the sys ad. but most people
let it be the way it is.

[ilugd] firestarter

[linuxlingam]

dear all,

just discovered firestarter.

this is a really cool firewall application.
check it out at 
firestarter.sourceforge.net

gpl it is.

those of you who have used the excellent zonealarm firewall utility under
win doze, will quite love firestarter and find it rather similar, as well
as more sophisticated.

basically, if you want a firewall up in a few *seconds* without having to
mess around with iptables, or ipchains, nat, masquerading, and a whole lot
of other stuff, just launch this application.

it is a lot more sophisticated than lookit, that comes with redhat.

have fun, and lemme know your response to this utility

Re: [ilugd] which linux distro+release?

think i have finally found that command, though i need you guys to
counter-check and verify it on your respective distributions of gnulinux.

it occured to me through a throught that struck me watch a pc boot up
"wonder how they do so much branding of the distribution during boot up but
never afterwards...?'

and then the magic command:

$ dmesg |less


the top line(s) will usually give you the distribution name, and the
version.

have verified this for redhat7.2, redhat 8.0. can a few of you check it out
on your various distributions and lemme know if this holds true for all?

try using nmap. It can fingerprint the OS, though that can be fooled too !!
AFAI think, A slackware type system should be easy to identify, courtesy the
difference in the boot scripts etc. A debian type system can be figured out
by looking under /usr/local/share 
debian (and knoppix) i think keeps most of the package docs under
/usr/local/share/doc/ ... while redhat keeps them under /usr/share/doc ...
AFAIK .. as i said, if the system is really that obscure then you'll have to
rely on your instincts and check the directory structure etc. for any clues.
I would be interested in 'proper' solution to this one though !!

[ilugd] Business Integration Engine

[linuxlingam]

just discovered this, and its GPL-ed.
this is quite a significant software.
you;ll find a link to an article in information week on it, on the website.
its written entirely in Java, and competes with m$'s BizTalk

application to application integration with 

Business Integration Engine
http://www.brunswickwdi.com/bie

 The Business Integration Engine (BIE) is the industry's first open source
 offering. BIE is designed to help organizations exchange data created in
 different applications on various platforms with partners, suppliers, and
 customers in order to streamline processes and improve efficiency.


 BIE is a cost-effective, lightweight integration solution that provides
many
 advantages over existing integration approaches. Created especially for
 manufacturers with diverse back-end systems and a large, fragmented
 distribution network, BIE provides integration capabilities in
environments
 where other solutions would be cost-prohibitive or inefficient due to
 antiquated trading partner systems, lack of industry standards, and/or
 extensive requirements. Because BIE is platform-independent, many legacy
 systems can be leveraged "as is." BIE is flexible, extendible and
scalable,
 making it possible to integrate a wide variety of applications - even
other
 integration utilities - quickly and cost-effectively.

hi manish,
welcome to the group. hope you find the active discussion useful. do not be
alarmed if you are a newbie and find most of the mailings rather technical.
in a few weeks you will be able to make out the trees from the woods(!)

do drop in at our linux user group delhi meet, scheduled for 21 sep, 2003,
sunday. watch this maling for further details.

hope you enjoy your gnulinux adventures, and can introduce more people to
the world of gnuLinux.

do also watch out for the free-for-all light-hearted banter that sometimes
crops up on the mailing. your best option as a newbie is to ignore it in
the first few days/weeks.

looking forward to your eventual contributions to the mailing list.

Re: [ilugd] which linux distro+release?

[linuxlingam]

:
is the uname command of any use here ? Try looking under /etc/ for some
file
named release or something ... U might also be able to peruse some info
from
some of the readymade scripts that come with the distro ... looking at the
comments and all ... RPM and DEB based distros and Slackware are easily
identifiable looking at the directory structure and general *feel* of the
system. Should'nt be too difficult, though that depends on the amount of
personal customisation that the system has gone through !!

HTH
Sharninder
***

thanks sharminder, have already tried uname, with its various options, only
tells you about the linux kernel, not the linux distribution.
under /etc/ i may find the *.release file, which only exists if it is a red
hat distribution. nothing of that nature for debian, therefore knoppix, etc
etc. 
since the general 'feel' of a distribution can be heavily customized, this
feature becomes all the more relevant.

any other leads, anyone   ?
