 For most of the people, the choice of the make of processors doesn't
 make any worthwhile difference(no matter how some folks would scream at
 you to believe). Go for any, suitable in your budget. Computers anyway
 have to be upgraded every 2-3 years. At the end of the day, probably the
 make and type of your power supply and cabinet, influences the life of
 your machine more than the processor itself would.

 My advice would be to never buy the latest and greatest(always too
 expensive to be worth it) processor. Settle down on a brand, take a look
 at the 2-3 processors at the midrange, make a call on the
 price/clock/feature balance,buy it and then worry most on getting a good
 cabinet,good power supply and power backup. The money you will save on
 the processor is better put into a good cabinet which can keep your
 processor healthy, as well as a good power supply.

 Most folks(like me till a short while back) have unnecessarily obsessed
 over the processor than the cabinet/power supply. e.g. look at this
 cabinet[1]. Wouldn't you like one like this which will keep your PC
 really cool(3 fans, 2 just to cool the hard disks), keep out the
 dust(with the dust filter, and remain quiet with its soundproof insides?
 You would be able to buy this with just the money you save from *not*
 buying an unnecessarily high end processor, or even a different make of
 processor.

Re: Re: [ilugd] Changing partition size without formatting

2004-12-07 Thread Gurpreet Sachdeva
If PgSQL is going to be your main application, leave /var with the
huge disk space.  7GB for /usr is fine, since /usr doesn't grow
significantly after installation and setup; /var, however, holds the
databases and is likely to expand with time.

If that is the case, I shouldn't have got such an error :o(

[Error]
File C:\installs\PYTHON23\lib\site-packages\pyPgSQL\PgSQL.py, line 3072, in 
execute
libpq.OperationalError: ERROR:  cannot extend [Table Name]: No space left on 
device.
Check free disk space.
[/Error]

And as soon as I got that, the first command I issued was:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] var]# df -kh
FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7 4.9G  301M  4.3G   7% /

/dev/hda6 5.8G  5.5G   63M  99% /usr
/dev/hdc1  73G  543M   69G   1% /var

The installation was done as per the guidelines given by postgres documents and 
no tweak/manipulations were done.

Please suggest me if I am wrong or have done a mistake and how can I rectify 
that.

Thanks and Regards,


Cheers!

[ilugd] [Forward]Nmap 3.55 Released (Ignore Previous)

2004-07-07 Thread Gurpreet Sachdeva
  -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-

Hello everyone,

I am just about to leave for a week in New York, including attending
HOPE 5 ( http://www.the-fifth-hope.org/hoop/ ).  Perhaps I'll see some
of you there.

Now there are (smart) people who would advise against releasing a new
stable version of Nmap just hours before my flight.  I might come back
next week to thousands of mails saying you forgot to set read
permission on the tarball, you dolt! or it doesn't even compile on [some
important OS]!

I'm gonna risk it anyway.  I'm pleased to release Nmap 3.55.  It
includes dozens of changes.  The coolest is MAC address detection and
vendor lookup.  That can be very useful for systems/network
administrators trying to track machines with dynamic IPs.  It also
augments OS detection in determining what a system is -- a system with
a Cisco ethernet card is probably a router.  Note the MAC address
field in this example:

# nmap -A -T4 wap

Starting nmap 3.55 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-07-07 01:38 PDT
Insufficient responses for TCP sequencing (0), OS detection may be less accurate
Interesting ports on wap.yuma.net (192.168.0.6):
(The 1659 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT   STATE SERVICE VERSION
80/tcp open  httpNetGear MR-series WAP (MR814; Embedded HTTPD 1.00, 1999(c) Delta 
Networks Inc.)
MAC Address: 00:09:5B:3F:7D:5E (Netgear)
Device type: WAP
Running: Compaq embedded, Netgear embedded
OS details: WAP: Compaq iPAQ Connection Point or Netgear MR814

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 13.750 seconds

Other changes include more service fingerprints, a number of crash
fixes, better OS detection names, portability fixes, and more.  Here
is the CHANGELOG since 3.50:

o Added MAC address printing.  If Nmap receives packet from a target
 machine which is on an Ethernet segment directly connected to the
 scanning machine, Nmap will print out the target MAC address.  Nmap
 also now contains a database (derived from the official IEEE
 version) which it uses to determine the vendor name of the target
 ethernet interface.  The Windows version of Nmap does not yet have
 this capability.  If any Windows developer types are interesting in
 adding it, you just need to implement IPisDirectlyConnected() in
 tcpip.cc and then please send me the patch.  Here are examples from
 normal and XML output (angle brackets replaced with [] for HTML
 changelog compatability):
 MAC Address: 08:00:20:8F:6B:2F (SUN Microsystems)
 [address addr=00:A0:CC:63:85:4B vendor=Lite-on Communications addrtype=mac /]

o Updated the XML DTD to support the newly printed MAC addresses.
 Thanks to Thorsten Holz (thorsten.holz(a)mmweg.rwth-aachen.de) for
 sending this patch.

o Added a bunch of new and fixed service fingerprints for version
 detection.  These are from Martin MaÚok
 (martin.macok(a)underground.cz).

o Normalized many of the OS names in nmap-os-fingerprints (fixed
 capitalization, typos, etc.).  Thanks to Royce Williams
 (royce(a)alaska.net) and Ping Huang (pshuang(a)alum.mit.edu) for
 sending patches.

o Modified the mswine32/nmap_performance.reg Windows registry file to
 use an older and more compatable version.  It also now includes the
 value StrictTimeWaitSeqCheck=dword:0001 , as suggested by Jim
 Harrison (jmharr(a)microsoft.com).  Without that latter value, the
 TcpTimedWaitDelay value apparently isn't checked.  Windows users
 should apply the new registry changes by clicking on the .reg file.
 Or do it manually as described in README-WIN32.  This file is also
 now available in the data directory at
 http://www.insecure.org/nmap/data/nmap_performance.reg

o Applied patch from Gisle Vanem (giva(a)bgnett.no) which allows the
 Windows version of Nmap to work with WinPCAP 3.1BETA (and probably
 future releases).  The Winpcap folks apparently changed the encoding
 of adaptor names in this release.

o Fixed a ping scanning bug that would cause this error message: nmap:
 targets.cc:196: int hostupdate (Target **, Target *, int, int, int,
 timeout_info *, timeval *, timeval *, pingtune *, tcpqueryinfo *,
 pingstyle): Assertion `pt-down_this_block  0' failed.  Thanks to
 Beirne Konarski (beirne(a)neo.rr.com) for reporting the problem.

o If a user attempts -PO (the letter O), print an error suggesting
 that they probably mean -P0 (Zero) to disable ping scanning.

o Applied a couple patches (with minor changes) from Oliver Eikemeier
 (eikemeier(a)fillmore-labs.com) which fix an edge case relating to
 decoy scanning IP ranges that must be sent through different
 interfaces, and improves the Nmap response to certain error codes
 returned by the FreeBSD firewall system.  The patches are from
 http://cvsweb.freebsd.org/ports/security/nmap/files/ .

o Many people have reported this error: checking for type of 6th
 argument to recvfrom()... configure: error: Cannot find type for 6th
 argument to recvfrom().  In most cases, the cause was a missing or
 broken C++ compiler.  That

 There are many people on the list who can implement the
 whole thing for you *if* you pay them good money.

the problem *if* payed well then why are they here.
Whoever asks the questions expects guidance

Giving guidance or pointing/redirecting towards the right track is acceptabe but if 
someone expects that anyone will come physically and solve the problem and won't 
charge anything for it is a wague point...

Open Source does not mean that you don't have a right to earn your bread and butter... 
Millions of people are charging heavily for training and support and that is very much 
appropiate...

What a load of crap.  There are plenty of companies trying to make and making money 
on open source software.

But moving on from Stallman, in particular, perhaps Eric Raymond might be a more 
presentable character - as he debated Stallman specfically on this subject. That's the 
whole point of OPEN and Free (as in speech).  Its a democracy and you're entitled to 
your opinion.

Open source projects, like MySQL, RedHat's distro, Gnome, KDE, QT, Lynuxworks are in 
it to make money.  So is our little shop... And then there's IBM - a company with 4 
times the anual revenue of MSFT.  You can bet they're in it for the money.  ORCL too - 
they're moving to complete support for Linux.

IMHO The statement made: There are many people on the list who can implement the 
whole thing for you *if* you pay them good money. is 100% justified...

Re: Re: [ilugd] mouse to speaker buzzing sound

2004-04-15 Thread Gurpreet Sachdeva
  

installed fedora, and it disappeared.

Were your speakers really close to your mouse cable?  We have similar
issues here at our office.  Whenever a cell phone within close
proximity to a PC and speakers/headphones rings, you can hear the
speakers buzzing/hear buzzing in your headphones.  

Nahi baba! This may not be the reason for that as it vanished as soon as the system 
was upgaraded. According to *me* it is due to some Linux Maniac 'bhoot/ghost' that was 
there to find the bugs in RH8 and couldn't find the reason of his existance in Fedora 
so ran away as soon as upgraded. I found a simillar kind of 'RH8 bhoot' in my poor PC 
wherein it caused constant flickering of monitor along with Auto movement of my 
sweet sweet mice pointer.

RE: [ilugd] Gentoo

2004-03-31 Thread Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva
To summarize the heart of Gentoo, imagine a user sitting in front of a
Linux system. What does he or she want do to? The Gentoo philosophy is
to allow this user to do what he or she wants to do, without getting in
the way...

Portage will keep your Gentoo Linux system as up-to-date as you
desire. And because of this, experienced Gentoo users don't pay too much
attention to new versions of Gentoo Linux -- after all, the latest and
greatest version of Gentoo Linux is always available by typing an emerge
sync command. There's no need to wait several months for a new version
of Gentoo Linux to be released because Gentoo Linux is continually
updated and refined and these improvements are immediately made
available to you...

#Support for x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc, Alpha and MIPS processors 
#LiveCD-based installation for x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc and Alpha 
#Latest stable KDE and GNOME 
#Various optimized Linux kernels 
#Very modern GNU development environment 
#Excellent filesystem support: ReiserFS, XFS, ext3, EVMS, LVM 
#Excellent hardware support: NVIDIA, Creative Labs Live! and Audigy 
#Modular OpenGL and compiler sub-system (supports multiple co-existing
versions) 
#Clean, dependency-based system initialization scripts 
#New hardened Gentoo security initiative 
#6000+ packages of the latest and greatest software 
#Enhanced Portage capabilities

Great Yaar! Awesome for both -- newbie and Gurus. HATS OFF for Daniel
Robbins (Chief Architect)

Very true honorable LL Ji... But can we actually manage the show in 15

Let us put our feet in the shoes of a newbie, would that be justified if
someone starts speaking with you in 'Hindi/Punjabi' and suddenly starts
'French' and the tragedy is that before that, everyone was enjoying the
show but now everyone else are enjoying the show except me along with
some few newbie and we are watching each others faces :-(

Introduction to GNU/Linux and then suddenly technojargon + flamewars +
netequitte flames + bla bla

Will that shed *off* my nervousness or...

Won't it be a great idea if we arrange the similar newbie meet after the

RE: [ilugd] [Weird] Postgresql vs Oracle

2004-03-05 Thread Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva


Hi Vivek,

This is a slightly weird question. I am having this
debate with a friend of mine. 

We already had one Hot! Hot! discussion on it in oct last year... Where
in Tarun initiated the Fire. And the honorable Raj Mathur, Shantanu and
Supreet took active part in it.

Which is a better DB for serving enterprise needs
Postgresql or Oracle.

The fire started after I made a comment You are comparing an apple with
a Water Melon :o) which unfortunately did not sound good to Tarun...

Let me make it very cleat that I don't have any hunch in open source
and thats why I am in the list but my dear, facts are facts.

--Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva (14th Oct 2003)

(comaprision in terms of support, cost, platform
independence, deployment in critical situations etc.)

Support: Oracle has an edge over PostgreSQL. Poor support offered by
PostgreSQL team. Oracle supports more than 10 plateforms including the
features in Grid Computing and Mobile Technology. Oracle pioneered grid
computing for the enterprise. Only Oracle offers a complete commercial
software infrastructure designed specifically for grid computing in the
data center

Cost: Again it's a debatable thing but I *believe* cost is measured by
ROI. And it depends on the requirement. For a very large enterprise,
Oracle has proved to attain the ROI within a year or so.
Oracle is expensive (BUT worth every single penny if it deployed on an
enterprise platform). PostgreSQL is free.

Plateform Independence: Oracle has support for every platform on this
planet. It scales from a PDA to a MPP machine. PostgreSQL does have a
good platform support BUT works well on few of them. Solaris, Windows,
and other flavours.

Deployment: Deployment in critical situations - what does 'critical
means'? 24*7 or what ???. If 24*7 then Oracle has an edge over
PostgreSQL. 

So, if you have deep pockets then opt for oracle else focus on
PostgreSQL.


We absolutely know we made the right decision at the right time to
implement Oracle E-Business Suite. The economy has changed and things
are tougher; businesses are more competitive. EMC is now prepared to
handle these changes because our investment in Oracle software has made
us more efficient.

india has a pathetic stance on spyware, privacy issues, email
harvesting, 

Agreed!!!

I just (for the first time in my life -- after signing in yahoo for
more than 7 years) read the Yahoo's Date Protection Policy.

Source: http://privacy.yahoo.com/

Yahoo! takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn
more about our privacy policy...

1) collection of address, email, mobile, res numbers, etc., while
filling up most forms for banks etc. no clear-cut policy with
liability
 responsibility on default mentioned.

This policy covers how Yahoo! treats personal information that Yahoo!
collects and receives, including information related to your past use of
Yahoo! products and services. Personal information is information about
you that is personally identifiable like your name, address, email
address, or phone number, and that is not otherwise publicly available. 
This policy does not apply to the practices of companies that Yahoo!
does not own or control or to people that Yahoo! does not employ or
manage.


2) no policy on sale or hire of such databases to third party or
sub-contractors. or to other marketing services.

Yahoo! does not rent, sell, or share personal information about you with
other people or nonaffiliated companies except to provide products or

We provide the information to trusted partners who work on behalf of or
with Yahoo! under confidentiality agreements. These companies may use
your personal information to help Yahoo! communicate with you about
offers from Yahoo! and our marketing partners. However, these companies
do not have any independent right to share this information.

4) spam, marketing junk material need not have any real
responsibility

Yahoo! uses information for the following general purposes: to customize
the advertising and content you see, fulfill your requests for products
and services, improve our services, contact you, conduct research, and
provide anonymous reporting for internal and external clients.

5) if you ever ask total strangers who call you on marketing calls,
where they caught hold of your contact details, they refuse to reveal
their source, and promptly hang up.

DO we really care to cross check or try to become so reactive that we
can find the root cause for it other than just banging on the poor
fellow??? 
Do we care to read all this GYAN written about the privacy before
actually signing in or filling any form???
I couldn't find even a drop of it on Indiatimes...If any one finds it
plz do let me know)

Are we *really* willing to stop using there services just because they
don't have any defined Data Protection Policy for there customers???

I wish to do something about this. Who else has some proactive,
tangible steps on what we can do that leads to results?

We need to put awareness in the general public that this is harmful and
will cause a slow poison in us. This is for sure that many of us
(including me) care a damm! about it and take it very likely until it
actually irritate us and we start crying and screaming for the procedure
and policy of various companies... :-(


let's try those steps on indiatimes for a start for the spyware email

RE: [ilugd] sendmail problem :(

2004-02-17 Thread Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva




sendmail is unable to get the MX record of the domain

This is the case when the mail server is unable to send mails on a
single domain and its working perfect on other domains.

 
## but when I try sending mail to *anywhere* outside say abc.com it says
## connecting to abc.com via esmtp


Then DNS may not be the prime issue rather relaying can be a problem.
Contact your ISP, if they have properly given a relay to your IPs.

Or you can make your own SMTP server without using the ISP one.

Edit /etc/sendmail.cf and change 127.0.0.1 -- Public IP
And vi /etc/mail/relay-domains and give the IP block of your network.
You can use this as your SMTP server.

Subject: [ilugd] LinuxAsia, last day

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi all you Dudes and Dudettes out there!

Today (13th) is the last day of LinuxAsia 2004.  As you'd no doubt
recall, ILUG-Delhi has a strong presence out there -- despite being
relegated to the stall furthest from the ``real'' action, we're seeing
more visitors than probably all the other exhibitors put together!

So what're we doing at the ILUGD stall?

We're playing loud music.  We mainly do 60s and 70s rock, but old
Hindi is also available on request :)  I mention this because a
gentleman from another, nearby stall popped in yesterday and said
words to the effect of ``Thanks for the music, otherwise we'd have
been very bored out here''

We're selling CDs.  We currently have Knoppix 3.3, Fire 0.4, GnuWinII
and Mandrake.  Plan to get Fedora Core 1 (3-CD set) today.  We've sold
tons of CDs so far, and given away not a few.  Kapil is managing the
CD sales, and he's henceforth given the title ``Supreme CD Sales
Generalissimo for Life'' in ILUG-Delhi.

We're giving demos of Linux to visitors.  If Sudev were selling
anything he'd be a millionaire by now -- he's so busy demonstrating
and discussing LTSP and Linux in the Office that he doesn't even get
time to eat lunch!  AshLin stands near the entrance of the stall and
charms visitors into having a look, and you know what they say, one
look and they're hooked.

We're pledging support to educational and government institutions who
visit the stall.  Expect a long list of TODOs once the event is over
- -- we've committed to propagating Linux and Free Software all over
India, from Almora to Ahmedabad.  And, of course, in Delhi.

We're having a ball!  The days have passed by in a haze of activity,
and the evenings in a haze of food and alcohol.

So come on, visit the stall up to 2pm today and buy a couple of CDs,
talk to some people, make a convert, join the festivities.

And while you're there, don't forget to give a special thanks to the
people who made this possible.  You will get the whole list, but for
now let me mention (to the best of my abilities, which are nearly 0 at
0800) those who have selflessly (well, OK, for a couple of samosas)
and fearlessly stood up and been counted:

Amitabh
Anirban
AshLin
Kapil
Kishore
Mairu
Mary
Pankaj
Sudev
Viksit
Vivek

Please give a large hand to these folks.  If our LUG has managed to
achieve anything, it is because of people like you and your unflagging
enthusiasm.

...and if I've inadvertently missed you out, please forgive -- extra
samosa on me for you today, and maybe even a free cup of tea :)

Are you configuring ur own sendmail???
If yes -- Check the entry in /etc/mail/local-host-names (give the

Also check the MX records in DNS. They should point properly with the

Can be a bandwidth issues also but it's a rare case.

2004-01-27 Thread Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva
Hello Mr. Mathur,
   I just had a question; I have heard that a normal
Linux user can make changes (by some means) into the files of another
normal Linux user. Is it possible??
Please guide me towards some of the good books for securing Linux boxes.
I am still waiting for my photograph dear :o)

RE: [ilugd] Firewall implimentation

2004-01-22 Thread Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva
Hi Dheerendar,

   How are you doing??
For configuring a firewall in Linux Machine, iptables is the best
option. Iptables restrict the flow of incoming and outgoing packets on
the base of policies you make. The policies are considered from top to
bottom.

For making policies using iptables, man iptables is the best resource
but you can also refer to http://www.faqs.org/docs/iptables/

Please don't forget to issue iptables-save command in the end and
restarting the iptables daemon.

Do let me know if you face any problem in doing that.

Warm Regards,

 Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva

RE: [ilugd] Help Require to divide Bandwidth

2004-01-19 Thread Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva

Hi Sandeep,

We also had such scenario in my previous organization. I
successfully did that by using Pools in squid, wherein you can manage
the bandwidth pools on IP base...
You can also do that in CISCO by either using QoS or rate-limit based on
IPs.

Yikes!!  This gives an impression that all Linux Techie lead a hand
to mouth life. I thought Linuxers/GNUers are driven by the statement
The most courageous people in the world are volunteers.

Aren't you trying to exploit this statement???

However, most of the replies that come from gurus in this mailing
list are like, newbies need to be looked down 
upon. No doubt there are words of encouragement that appear to just
float all over.
But when a newbie  asks a technical query. The replies have a tone
 HUH! You don't even know that!, get lost, read this, this and this,
do a million sit-ups and then come back, I might explain you the real
answer.

It won't be a sit-up exersice but yes, no body should encourage Mouth
Feeding.
Progress has little to do with speed, but much to do with direction!!!
So a breif direction would let me *scratch* all the possibilties to
solve the problem and let all my brothers know, if I found another
related thing that would help others in future...

Could be due to the fact that
1) The guru is tired of replying to stupid questions
2) The guru is conceited.
3) The guru doesn't want to be with newbies any more.
4) guru is not a guru, but simply wants to be called a guru.

The conscience of the soul will help you change and be the best you can
be!!!

For eg. Ghane replies as if he is going to skin a newbie alive if
he/she dared to ask what the command to see a 
directory listing is! The above example has not much to do with the
rest of the mail.
If I was a guru I'd probably know.
Having, said all that, I as a novice, I still feel nice to be a part
of ILUGD. Perhaps the above is NOT true to that 
extreme, but I do sense it sometimes.

And life is what we make it, always has been and always will be :-)

RE: [ilugd] Club bandwidth - linux gurus

2004-01-19 Thread Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva
No I was just suggesting that rude(which apparently
only I felt) comments to linux newbies from Linux gurus
can act as a detterent to newbies from being a part of Linux
community. Some initial mouth feeding could resolve this?

Why we guys always have an escapist attitude??? We never want to open a
book or document and dream that some day some magician will come with
his magic stick, will make a liquid of the book and will put it in our
brain...
I *believe* that no one in this group will refuse to answer a sub
query on a query (provided you have made a sincere effort to tackle
that...


Oh I dont know!
But this is similar to reinventing the wheel.
Something GNU is against.]
To a tribe that has seen a wheel for the first time,
isnt it better for the
world if the tribe is shown how a wheel 
is used rather than handling them a
manual they can't read.

Good example!!! But I never knew that you are unable to read the
manual...
Plz, I am sure that you are grown enough to read something written in
simple salty English and even if you find some spice in it, you can
always refer to www.dictionary.com. And if any Technical query (no
matter how basic it may be); you are always welcome to post them in the
list...

The tribe could then develop if furhter, rather than
discovering the use of the wheel on their own 
and then starting on to
something better OR dumping the wheel aside
because they couldnt figure what a wheel is all about!

Believe me, I would be the last person on this earth to discourage any
one or be a hindrance in the development on anyone in this world... 
You are most welcome to post any of the queries/questions/suggestions
and I am nobody to stop anyone from doing this...

Ofcourse, Sandip's point of hiring is accepted.
But hire or I wont tell you a thing,
just do what you want with the manual
is unhealthy.
Can we call the tribe dumb if they are not
able to figure out the use of a wheel on their own ?

Mercy! But ...are you drunk or a philosopher?

Sorry!!! I don't drink and it was just to lighten up the mood...

At the center of the Linux philosophy is a concept that we now call
Open Source Software

It's a mode in which an Ethernet card receives all frames on the network
(instead of only those that are addressed to it). In this case, tcpdump
is setting the promiscuous mode on your interface, which will return to
normal when you exit tcpdump.

 I would appreciate it deep from my heart if someone explains it

Subject: [ilugd] now, help on lilo

Hello,

I had a dual boot system with redhat linux and winxp. Winxp was giving a
lot of problems. so decided to remove it and install win 2000. did it
and
as usual, lilo was gone.

I have faced such a problem earlier too but I always used to reinstalled
linux and I dont want to take the same old step. 


The steps I took:

1) used knoppix, was able to mount the root, was able to edit lilo.conf
(used vi) but was unable to run lilo. whenever i ran lilo, it gave some
error saying 'there's some problem in lilo.conf at line number xx'. I
searched for some sample lilo.conf and there was no mistake.

2) used 2-3 floppy bootable linux distributions but was unseccussful.

3) since i can't go into dos, i can't use loadlin. i used a dos bootable
floppy and tried loadlin 
from there but to no avail.

4) I even used the RHL 8.0 first CD to get into the rescue mode and try
from there. but it says that there aren't any linux partitions present
in
the hard disk. ufff, there are i guess because explore2fs is able to
read
the partitions. 


NOW WHAT SHOULD I DO, I NEED LINUX TO STAND UP AND START RUNNING. 


Just the day before I lost linux, i apt-get_ed it. It took precious 3
hours of mine.

vijay.

Subject: [ilugd] Doubling Download Speed

hey people
i have a 24 online cable connection at my place. the cable-waalah has
capped
the speed at 32kbps. i have a friend who also has subscribed to the same
cable-waalah and are being serviced by the same hub(he lives some 25 ft
from
my place). his computer is usually on the whole day and is used to check
the
mail only and/or to type some office related documents. so his internet
connection is just there to prevent misuse of the dial-up connection.
and
since i am usually downloading something or the other :D i was wondering
if
i can double my speed by installing a proxy server s/w at his place and
routing half of my internet traffic thru his comp thereby doubling my
effective speed. I won't be able to install more LAN card on his
machine.
and he uses win98 and won't be able to change the s/w at his place. i
use
RHL9.0.
any pointers
affly
Varun Anand

Dear Gurpreet,
Thanks for the offer. Can you get me some figures  as to how many will
attend from SSI? Names, phone-numbers, email ids would make it perfect

 Thanks for your enthusiasm. We need support from enthu people like

 So I
 welcome you to the volunteer committee for the Dec meet and hope to
see
 you
 contribute. Since I do not have time (I'm a chief administrator of a

 compose and put up notices in two Colleges having IT DEptts/computer
 courses? This is to be done after I send Raju final programme,
sometime
 after Dec 01. Do let me know where you are putting up the notices.

 and more advertisement about linux-delhi.  and in case we are getting
 overcrouded we can put some small enterence fees, just to cover up
 expenses

 Regretfully, I am vetoing your suggestion for entrance fees. I'm of
the
 opinion that it would act like a barrier. A better model is the
present
 one
 ie to request those who earn to shell out Rs 50/- or Rs 100/- as per
 your

hard
 up.
 In this way we pay for our eats/drinks. Newbies buy their CDs at Rs
30/-
 or
 so.

 and to keep the  freebies(i mean ppl who are not serious enough)
 out
 . There is nothing which is free in the world.

Well that is fine and I already did that but dear my question was to
give *Enter* as password. This activity will remove the password and
won't ask the user for it. But the target is that while the user logs
into the Red Hat Linux machine, he should be prompted for a password and
after the user gives *Enter* as a password, he should be able to login.
Just in case of Windows 2000.

RE: [ilugd] Postgres vs oracle

2003-10-17 Thread Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva
 Correct! 

To be more precise:

The standard form of VACUUM is best used with the goal of maintaining a fairly level 
steady-state usage of disk space. The standard form finds old tuples and makes their 
space available for re-use within the table, but it does not try very hard to shorten 
the table file and return disk space to the operating system. If you need to return 
disk space to the operating system you can use VACUUM FULL --- but whats the point 
of releasing disk space that will only have to be allocated again soon? Moderately 
frequent standard VACUUMs are a better approach than infrequent VACUUM FULLs for 
maintaining heavily-updated tables.

Recommended practice for most sites is to schedule a database-wide VACUUM once a day 
at a lowusage time of day, supplemented by more frequent vacuuming of heavily-updated 
tables if necessary. (If you have multiple databases in an installation, dont 
forget to vacuum each one; the vacuumdb script may be helpful.) Use plain VACUUM, not 
VACUUM FULL, for routine vacuuming for space recovery. 

VACUUM FULL is recommended for cases where you know you have deleted the majority of 
tuples in a table, so that the steady-state size of the table can be shrunk 
substantially with VACUUM FULLs more aggressive approach. 

If you have a table whose contents are deleted completely every so often, consider 
doing it with TRUNCATE rather than using DELETE followed by VACUUM.

Ambar Intresting thing about Geocrawler  AudioGalaxy using
Ambar postgres was that both of these sites seemed to go offline
Ambar for daily maintainence during the middle of the day here in
Ambar India. Both the sites ran Postgresql, and were probably
Ambar running a daily database cleanup. IMHO this is what has
Ambar kept me away from considering postgresql for serious
Ambar databases. Has this issue of regular database maintainence
Ambar been solved by the recent versions of postgresql?

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
Ambar web hosting control panels on Linux used to only support
Ambar MySQL, cPanel  Plesk now have support for Postgresql. To
Ambar me this is a good sign. Now even smaller sites can start
Ambar using Postgresql.

Hi Tarun,
   Let me make it very cleat that I don't have any hunch in open source 
and thats why I am in the list but my dear, facts are facts.
(Is Amazon.com running on open source (database)? Is eBay.com running on open source

Surely NO...so we would certainly be interested to know some of your  Biggest 
Internet Sites running on open source.
Kindly show us any relevant benchmark to prove your point on your tried and tested 
approach. That (deploying parallel servers) reminds me of a circus.
Parallel execution of query in PostgeSQL? Try out and f'd for yourself. And also do 
let us know if we can live without Foreign Keys in a relational world (MySQL)?

The strategy to divide the Database onto multiple parallel servers is a good 
one
And a tried and tested one at that.
It would be anyday faster than a single large footprint database

All you would need to do is pick up data in parallel from more than one
database to generate a report and very likely use a single database for
a transaction.
And Gurpreet about your hunch on using a Free Software.

database BUT you can't match Oracle's superior technology. Its in the business for the 
past 27 years (PostgreSQL made its presence felt in 1996) and a dominant player (40% 
market share). 
 
Oracle's database is supported on PDAs to MPP machines (support for more than 200 
platforms). PostgreSQL CAN't boast such kind of statistics.
 
Replication Support was ONLY announced lately  28/08/2003. It will take *some* time 
to mature (bug fixing underway).
 
Fail over support  Yawn, Yawn ...N/D (No Details). Oracle's technology (i.e Real 
Application Clusters) *is* UNBREAKABLE.
 
Consider this:
 
Synonyms
Postgres: No
 
Updateable views
Postgres:  No.  
 
Partial rollback of transaction
Postgres:  No. 
 
Practically useful maximum number of concurrent users
Postgres:  N/D 
 
Practical maximum number of concurrent users writing to the database
Postgres:  N/D 
 
Incremental backups
Postgres:  No. 
 
Scalability - Support for SMP systems (parallel query execution, etc.)
Postgres:  Postgres is not threaded, but every connection gets it's own process. The 
OS will distribute the processes across the processors. Basically a single connection 
will not be any faster with SMP, but multiple connections will be.  
 
Bitmap indexes
Postgres:  No. 
 
OLAP supporting functions in SQL
Postgres:  No. 
 
Automatic partitioning of large tables/indexes
Postgres:  No. 
 
Gateways to other DBMSs
Postgres:  None. 
 
Access to multiple databases in one session
Postgres:  Only switching between databases.  
 
Two phase commit
Postgres:  No. 
 
VLDB implementations
Postgres:  60GB+ databases exist BUT performance usually degrades.
 
Support from CASE packages
Postgres:  N/D 
 
Special solutions for storage of XML documents
Postgres:  No. 
 
XML support integrated in DBMS
Postgres:  No. 
 
Dedicated Web servers
Postgres:  None. 
 
Automatic recovery from failures
Postgres:  No. There is no transaction log, so the only recovery method is to restore 
database from backup 
 
Availability and quality of technical support
Postgres:  ONLY mailing lists and web-site (postgresql.org). Poor.  
 
Specific market segments occupied
Postgres:  Mostly in education and small web services

Subject: [ilugd] Postgres vs oracle



We have a customer application on oracle.

They want to crate a small footprint version of it to be sold at a cheaper
price.

I want to suggest that Postgres could be the right choice of database for
that as it is close to oracle in its sql syntax and hence porting should be
simpler.

Can anybody guide me on what kind of pitfalls we could run into by choosing
Postgres. The database is not very large but is much larger than what goes
for database in mysql discussions (about 1 GB of data, 100 tables with
about 10-50 MB added every day)?

In particular, I would be interested in hearing from people who have run
moderately large databases on postgres and how fast they found it.

I have heard that it is possible to now provide replication and fail over
with postgres. Has anybody tried it?

Tarun

Hi Tarun,
  I think you are trying to compare a Apple with a Water Melon. But any 
case if you are really facing a real time scenario, please make it clear. what exactly 
the application you are running and how many concurrent user you are expecting to be 
there as concurrency is a major factor which can cause ample amount of problems for 
the DBA. I make sure that I would be able to solve all your queries.
Regards,
Gurpreet Singh Sachdeva
