Re: [ilugd] Information required

I don't know about bluetooth applications.. But if you need to learn about
mobile technologies, one good site to visit is the developer's section of
nokia.com, It used to be forum.nokia.com. There you can learn most things
about developing solutions. Although a lot of it will be biased towards
developing applications for Nokia platforms, but you can still get a good
deal of information.

IMHO for new application technologies, nothing beats the internet. For most
platforms you can get free development kits and sample applications.

[ilugd] Linux presentation

[Raj Mathur]

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

Made a presentation on Linux to a corporate crowd yesterday.  It's
fairly techie but seemed to convince the audience that evaluating
Linux for their company was an immediate requirement.

I've uploaded the presentation (with the name of the company blanked
out) to:

http://kandalaya.org/Presentations/linux-raju-1.sxi

Feel free to use if any parts of it fit your needs.  It's a mish-mash
of other presentations and some of my own original stuff.

The presentation is available under the GNU FDL.

Would appreciate enhancements, comments.

Regards,

I don't know about the various places where it is taught, but I don't think
that you really need to go to many places. Get a couple of books on J2ME

what yu want is only a dns setup which resolves your

(HOWTOs section), and set reverse resolve too.

In BIND's /etc/named.conf setup forwarders as your ISP's DNS servers and 
in your /etc/resolv.conf only specify your own dns server i.e. 127.0.0.1

then it should work without any problems

[ilugd] Qmail cannot find default domain

[A. Subramani]

I have setup a qmail server with pop3 and courier-imap, I am able to
send messages using qmail-smtp, I am able to login using mail clients
(evolution and outlook) to the pop3 and imap server; however I can see
any mails on the pop3 or imap server.

/var/log/qmail/current/ showed the following

@40003f8ea49d1d91158c status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
@40003f8ea54515fb9a04 new msg 393634
@40003f8ea54515fba9a4 info msg 393634: bytes 491 from
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 30842 uid 503
@40003f8ea545181876f4 starting delivery 15: msg 393634 to remote
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

I had compiled qmail from source on RH 9 (after applying all patches to
the source tree as given in www.qmail.org)

./config-fast internal.mydomain.com

Now I have Bind 9.2.1 (that comes with RH 9) installed, and I have not
done any config changes to it. My /etc/resolv.conf contains my ISP's DNS
servers. Since from the qmail logs it seems to be a DNS problem, I tried
to add a forward zone internal.mydomain.com using the redhat-config-bind
tool. So I got an internal.mydomain.com.zone file, which looks like this



$TTL 86400
@   IN  SOA @  root.localhost (
2 ; serial
28800 ; refresh
7200 ; retry
604800 ; expire
86400 ; ttl
)
 
 
IN  NS  localhost.
 
@   IN  MX  1   127.0.0.1
 
@   IN  A   61.16.156.211
@   IN  A   10.1.1.3
@   IN  A   127.0.0.1


The qmail manual I am refering to has instructions for setting up djbns
as a caching nameserver. But I dont want to use a caching only
nameserver. so have to stick with BIND for now (dunno anything about
djbns)

Is there any way where I can configure BIND 9 (or even DJBNS) to act as
a caching nameserver, add my ISP's DNS address as forwarders and to
serve my local domain so that qmail can work?  

I searched everywhere but all the docs are either about configuring BIND
as a caching only name server or as a primary nameserver.

I just need a DNS to make qmail work, but I also need to connect to the
internet from this machine.

any pointers anyone?

what i find *interesting* is that while israel is doing this,
afghanistan is adopting gnuLinux as part of its restructuring, and last
year, this guy from iran came to india showing his development work on
their arabic and persian languages for gnuLinux since M$ wasn't doing
much for their native languages.

will 'regional languages support' be the real 'killer app' for
ubiquitous gnuLinux computing?

http://localhost/manual/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslpassphrasedialog says,

Description: Type of pass phrase dialog for encrypted private keys

When Apache starts up it has to read the various Certificate (see
SSLCertificateFile) and Private Key (see SSLCertificateKeyFile) files
of the SSL-enabled virtual servers. Because for security reasons the
Private Key files are usually encrypted, mod_ssl needs to query the
administrator for a Pass Phrase in order to decrypt those files. This
query can be done in two ways which can be configured by type:

* builtin
* exec:/path/to/program

You probably need the second one.

PostgreSQL (PgSQL) has two types of ``cleanup'': vacuum and vacuum
full.  The first (plain vacuum) merely marked unused (deleted) disk
clusters as free but does not compact the physical database.  The
second (vacuum full) does all that and also physically compacts the
database on disk.

Using vacuum full will lock up your database, no queries or
transactions will be possible while it is running.  However most
databases achieve a sort of `steady state' (roughly the same number of
records being added and deleted regularly) and plain vacuum suffices
for that.  Transactions are possible during vacuum, and most
installations will prefer to use that periodically over vacuum full.
It's only if your database sizes vary wildly over the course of time
that you'll need to use vacuum full (and consequently bring the system
down for maintenance).

The above is from my understanding of PgSQL, would appreciate
clarifications in case I've missed anything out.

Ambar> Another intresting thing about postgresql is that while the

All:

We are happy to announce that speaker registration for Linux Bangalore/2003
is now open.

If you wish to give a talk at Linux Bangalore/2003, please head for 

  http://linux-bangalore.org/2003/register/ 

Also make sure that you read the speaker guide before you submit a talk

  http://linux-bangalore.org/2003/guides/speakers.php

Please note that speaker registration will be provisionally open till
November 8th. We will occasionally publish lists of submitted (not
*selected*) talks to give people an idea of what others are talking about,
but shortlisting for the 70+ talk slots will happen only after this
deadline, after which speakers will immediately be informed.

During this period, we will be interacting with speakers in email to help 
them fine tune their talks/topics.

We request speakers *not* to bombard the managers with enquiries about 
whether their talk has been selected, because *no* talk will be *selected* 
before the November 8th deadline. Till then, we are simply collecting and 
evaluating talk proposals.

The final schedule of talks will appear on the website in the last week of 
November.

Outstation speakers are requested to give us a reference to your local 
Linux/OpenSource community that you participate in to help us with the 
evaluation process.

OK, that's the first bell for Linux Bangalore/2003 ;-), and is the 
beginning of a flood of announcements. If you want to participate in the 
discussions about the event, you should be on the event mailing list

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Please remember - this is an Open Source community event, and will only 
work with the support of the Open Source community.

That means *you*, amigo! ;-)
