[ilugd] Linux Based routers

2005-12-27 Thread SWAPNIL
Dear All,

We have two 512 kbps broadband lines from VSNL with static IP address and ADSL 
router.

Currently I want to club both the lines in a single Linux System and get an 
total 1 mbps bandwidth for load balancing.

How can we achieve this? What do we need to do?

One suggested the option of using BGP / OSPF in Linux based router with zebra,  
but I am new to Linux and routers what should I do?
Is there any other option ?
If anybody has faced same scenario please help me.
you can view current setup and new requirements at following link

bash has a huponexit shell option that can be set with shopt. Setting

Re: [ilugd] Student mentorship program (Comments)

2005-12-27 Thread Gaurav Mishra
On 12/27/05, Gora Mohanty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:


 That sounds like a plan. I would propose that while some
 people are clearly associated with specific areas, it also
 ought to be possible for a skilled mentor to have the
 student project be a module for something that is still in
 active development by the mentor. E.g., one such idea that
 some of us have been kicking around is Indian language OCR.
 Though none of us really have credentials in this area, we
 have some thoughts, and some preliminary work.
So, my proposal would be for the mentors to do some
 groundwork in listing potential projects, modularizing them,
 assigning timelines and checkpoints in having students
 complete these. Then, we go to the colleges (a first physical
 interaction is very important, IMHO), and my guess would be
 that the level of student participation would scale with the
 quality of the planning by the mentor.

Exactly , as the problem is basically (in General ) the Students lacks
in Ideas and Development Techniques , not in skill sets.



 Yes, I think that the projects should be curricular, i.e., they
 should fulfil the students' fourth-year, or whatever, project
 requirement. As for getting colleges to agree, we only work
 with those that do. We are already talking to at least two
 colleges, and the NRCF apparently has 50 lined up (probably
 in Chennai, though).

How to Include a College into this.



 I agree here. Actually, I am a bit sceptical of this whole idea of
 bounties. I believe that they send the wrong message about
 what should drive one to get involved in a FOSS project. I
 think that we should describe any money paid to students as
 stipendships. Plus, we could have prizes for best projects.
 Corporate involvement is OK, I suppose, but we have to work
 out details. Do they bring their own projects, and their own
 mentors? If they are funding a mentorship program, what
 freedom are we given in the nature and scope of the projects?

  Stipends or bounties for students, on the other hand,
  sounds like a good idea -- bribe the buggers into doing
  FLOSS! :)

The stipend involvememnt could give students a good reason to put
their Best and Scratch Their Head

Package: dhis-tools-dns
Vulnerability  : insecure temporary file
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2005-3341

Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña from the Debian Security Audit project
discovered that two scripts in the dhis-tools-dns package, DNS
configuration utilities for a dynamic host information System, which
are usually executed by root, create temporary files in an insecure
fashion.

The old stable distribution (woody) does not contain a dhis-tools-dns
package.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 5.0-3sarge1.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 5.0-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your dhis-tools-dns package.

 You can use mc to read pdfs.
 
 
I really doubt that it will work since PDF format is meant for GUI based 
viewing. You will not be able to view it in text mode. The program mc 
will only try to open the document through a PDF reader (xpdf, acroread, 
evince, etc.) and will fail to do so since there is no graphical display.
