Few months ago my ISP, Hathway, did send a notice to everyone to provide details about their wireless routers, if they are using one. According to the notice, they were doing it on the basis of a TRAI directive. I refused to divulge the details of my wireless router till they sent me a copy of the TRAI directive stating the same. They couldn't provide me with the same and disconnected my connection for a while, till I called up their customer care and asked to refund my money for the month as they had disconnected my connection. After that it was promptly started and I haven't heard from them again. ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Sounds like a reaction to one of the Bombay attacks where an American had an open wifi that was used to send a terrorist message by a bomb conspirator. That the American fled the country rather than waiting for the courts to declare his innocence says plenty about the Indian court system. (That he managed to flee the country despite being watched says a lot about the state of India generally too, of course). From the report, it seems the open wifi problem is still going to be around (it isn't dealt with by the measure). Centralized authentication (?) isn't solving authentication or location-of-subscriber better than current authentication methods either. They must mean centralized logging rather than authentication, that's my guess. Anyway, the centralized authentication procedure (or whatever it really ends up being), like many India systems, well need proper accountability built in to the process to prevent its abuse. Eg: Mohammed! You are the registered owner of this connection from where a claim of responsibility for the recent bomb blast originated! But I haven't claimed that and I am the only person using the connection, and my system is heavily secured! There's no way it can be originating from me! OK, then, just pay me 25 lakh and we'll forget about it. Else I'll grind you and your beard through the courts and everyone will think you're a terrorist.

Going by the fundamental right of equality this should be enforced for everybody. So you should no longer be allowed to put a letter in the letter box without verification.

Re: [ilugd] [Commercial] Migration to Ubuntu in Delhi
Why not OpenSUSE..? instead of ubuntu..? my guess..ubuntu is preetty much easier to learn, wide user base in comparison to OpenSUSE. Easy package management, clean interface in approx. everything will definitely make newbies comfortable in using/learning: how to use linux effectively. --- On Tue, 10/27/09, Amit Sharma amitsharm...@gmail.com wrote: From: Amit Sharma amitsharm...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [ilugd] [Commercial] Migration to Ubuntu in Delhi To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 10:19 PM Alok G.

[ilugd] Google Caching issues
Hi Team I want to take some advice and suggestions from this Group . I am actually facing a very strange problem these days . Current Setup : We have two websites hosted on a same linux apache server , But they are pointing to two different Ip's and virtual hosts in apache . These two Domains are also sharing a common Name Server Problem : When we try to do a google search for Cache:domain Name it actually opens the page for the other domain name and website , which means that from google search the site is getting redirected to other domain . Even though we donot have any redirects at apache level or at the DNS level too Please suggest how can i resolve this problem , any help would be really appreciated Regds saurabh ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
