2008-08-19 Thread Gora Mohanty 
Hello everyone,
  The second in the series of workshops planned with
the Computer Society of India will be held at ABES
Engineering College, Ghaziabad, on Sat., 23rd Aug.,
from 11am to 6pm. The workshop is open to all, but
the college requests advance registration by sending
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

  Please see

for details. A big thank you to all our volunteer
speakers.

  This will also be part of a series of workshops to
be held in and around Delhi, over the next 6-8 months,
with support from the FLOSSINCLUDE project at Sarai, CSDS,
in partnership with ILUG-Delhi. I will post details
about this programme in the next few days.

Regards,
Gora

A private key server seems to be a better option since you are only 
going to be using signed mails for intra-organisation communications.

If you're going to using signed mails for communications outside your 
organisation too then a public key server would be the way to go.

IANAL, but Indian law only treats mails signed with certificates issued 
by a Certificate Authority recognised by the Controller of Certificate 
Authorities as negotiable instruments.  If you're not using official 
(recognised by GoI) certificates I'd think it makes no difference 
whether you use GPG or X.509 certificates to sign your mails, and GPG 
would be simpler to setup and use :)

Checkout Marc Horowitz's pks[1] which couple of public OpenPGP
keyservers use. Or how about setting up an LDAP based OpenPGP
keyserver[2].

Whichever way you go with, please do post your experience with an
optional HOWTO at wiki.linux-delhi.org ;) .

[ilugd] GPG Key Server

2008-08-19 Thread Anand Shankar 
1. Wanted to set up a GPG Key Server inside my organisation intranet.
I could not find an option to do that. Is it necessary / good idea to
use a Public Key Server for such use?

2. Whether GPG signed emails / documents internal to the organisation
are treated as 'legal' by auditors?

3. Or it is better to use more common X.509 certificates with an
internal CA, where all keys are internal to the organisation, but
counter-signed by Publicly verifiable key. Will this be acceptable to
auditors?

I trust consumer forum may not be the right place. Consumer Grievance
cell (If there is one, I trust there should be one) at TRAI may be the
right place. It SHOULD be treated as an obligation for service
providers by TRAI.

[ilugd] Sify Vs Linux

2008-08-19 Thread Swapnil Bhartiya 
Dear friends,

As most of you are aware of my problem with Sify. The problem has not been 
solved yet. While I can access the Internet using Windows, I cannot do the same 
with GNU/Linux distros.

Should I not file a case with Consumer Forum? What do you suggest?

Any one on the list using SIFY connection? Do you face similar problem?

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 rw root=/ init=/bin/sh

OR

kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-14 rw root=/ init=/bin/bash

OR

change ro to rw and append 2 (or level=2)
at the end of the line

Thanks for the reply, but I'm not any TeXpert to be able to do such
stuff. Though, I'll see if there is anything, which I'm capable of
doing.

Re: [ilugd] Queries regarding Mono

Never tried WinForms, though I am told that they work now
with Mono. For other things, an application built on top
of Mono on Linux will run on a MS.Net runtime on Microsoft
Windows (or, at least it did with XP), provided of course
that you do not use Mono-specific features, such as a GUI
in Mono.Gtk.

I am not sure how this question differs from the above one,
but to repeat myself, with non-Linux-GUI-specific features
a Mono.Net application will run on a MS.Net runtime. It
should run on a Mono.Net runtime anywhere, be it on Linux,
other UNIX, Microsoft Windows, or Mac OSX runtime (personally
only tried Linux, and Microsoft Windows).

Gora
