[ilugd] smbmount /var/portage
hi, in my spare time i was trying to compile openoffice, but i later realised that it requires more than 1 gb to compile... i have an smb share of about 1.7 gb available, however all attempts have gone in vain. given here is the fstab excerpt. i know its *highly* insecure... but.. option 1: //exodus/openoffice /home/rbs/openoffice-1.1.0-r2 smbfs defaults,users,username=rbs,password=tha,noauto 0 0 emerge openoffice fails with 'cant perform rm openoffice-1.1.0-r2' option 2: //exodus/openoffice /var/tmp/portage/openoffice-1.1.0-r2 smbfs defaults,users,username=rbs,password=tha,noauto0 0 emerge openoffice fails with 'cant write to /var/portage'... or a similar error... any ideas on what permissions to give to 1. smb share 2. /var/portage ? also, after mounting, i am unable to do a [EMAIL PROTECTED] chown portage.portage /var/portage (although frankly i dont know why is that not allowed...) any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks robins ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Re: [ilugd] How to run a webserver
hi, install apache (http://httpd.apache.org) place the files in the appropriate directories... /var/www/html for html files. /var/www/cgi-bin for cgi/perl files... and (in this case for safety sake!!) configure your /etc/httpd.conf to disallow any other ip address to get to your server... then a simple http://127.0.0.1/ should open up your site... its pretty easy, and a fantastic way to test all your RD at home... and then post it at home... anyother queries feel (beer type) free ;) affly robins p.s.: as usual, any corrections are always welcome..

[ilugd] mysql + (PHP / Python) ?
hi, as usual i have a situation, and (thankfully) a few choices, though selecting the best of which, is getting slightly odd. requirement: 1. apache+mysql+(PHP/Python) combination offering dynamic pages to a local intranet. 2. Approximately 5000 records, going upto ~1 at the maximum. 3. The ratio of select/insert would probably be quite high (in the range of 100/1 or so). 4. Maximum traffic projected to be probably around a 5000 requests a day. 5. I am looking at server side scripts to get the dynamic pages up ( question: 1. is mysql a good choice for the number of records? I wish the database to be the least of my problems ! (i select mysql mainly because its fast enough for small records, and *relatively* safe to work in intranet environments ... considering that i have read good reviews about innodb ) 2. is it very difficult to port the app from mysql to postgress, just in case i need features like view etc.. later on? 3. PHP scores high on being 'tried/tested', Python on simplicity. But i found only scanty emails/replies/docs on python/mysql combination when i compare that to PHP/mysql combination. A few have hinted at Python being better, but that was a non-database situation, any choices ? any answers / suggestions are more than welcome. affly robins ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

hi, this is a surprise for me that in gcc a 16 cell array compared cell by cell such as 1. if (a[1]==b[1] a[2]==b[2] . a[16]==b[16]) is **faster** than 2. memcmp(a,b,16) a program that does about 20! (factorial) checks like this gives these times... 1.23 seconds for if statements 1.76 seconds for memcmp !! is this normal? i did read about memcmp performance issues of gcc in old pentiums (though mine is an athlon) but are they so slow? secondly, i thought if were the slowest things ever in the c language !! any comments..!? p.s: mine is a gentoo compiled from stage1, so i guess the pentiumII issue shouldnt be there ... just a guess! robins ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

If you're talking about installation, and integration (dont know how you'd pass that as a PROJECT) then i could help with a few names... Our job is to make a server in linux which will have control over all these machines. control is a vague word. try vnc.. its a freely available remote access software(free). Server should have firewall in it , so as to restrict some of the websites. iptables, very crude (read CLI), but very flexible.. It should also have the information about every user that have been logged on to the machine in cyber lab. try standard combo of apache with a logging software (should work?!) (although i don't know any, any one can help on this one???) Administrator should be able to monitor every action of the user of any machine of the lab.He should be able to produce screen of any user on his terminal thus be able to see what that particular user is doing. EXACTLY this is what VNC does... try it!! If the administrator has seen that some user has opened some website which is not in the list of restricted website of firewall but still its objectionable , he should be able to add it immediately to the list. Software: dansguardian and a VERY VERY strong note, that this was mentioned only a few days earlier by raj... try reading the list before you post a message like this... Also he should be able to give a warning message to the user of that terminal if he don't stops he should be able to turn off his terminal (turn off!! ok thats a dangerous one, i hope you dont install it. its a bit too powerful a power. i'd rather suggest stopping access to the net kind of power...) does samba support winpopup!!??? anyone help ?? (anyways, you could go in for a VERY crude form of using batch files for startup whenever anyone logs into a samba server. this batch file could openup a message window giving the message that the admin wants to display.. .. but yes this is a very bad way to get this done..!) .Administrator should be able to do all this just by sitting on the server machine. i mean, he is NOT god!! what all do you want him to do???

i just tried this out.. i think you might be downloading a BIG file.

Re: [ilugd] pop on public network
hi, There are many methods of achieving secure authentication already, such as APOP, KPOP, and IMAP. You can also do Secure POP via SSH. there is a mini HOWTO available on the subject. But Your mail provider may be unable or unwilling to use a more secure protocol. exactly! i have two email servers... net4india.com and vsnl.com i tried with evolution and both don't (seemingly) support IMAP/SSL/APOP/etc... only POP3 on both... this basically leaves out only the ssh tunneling option. i have managed a system based in US which is although slow, atleast can provide a ssh login! the only problem is that when i do a ssh -L 56110:pop.net4india.com:110 somebody.us.net -L56025:smtp.net4india.com:25 -C a few questions: 1. now this always asks for a password. Cant i make this automatic? i mean i give a script in /etc/rc.local (with a password) for once when the system boots, and this connection stays on? 2. is that advisable? because my system stays on for 10-12 hours, does the ssh connection die out due to no transmission?? affly rbs ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
Re: [ilugd] pop on public network
Ah! You' have managed to defer snooping of the password from your local LAN to the LAN the US server is on. Don't forget, the password will still be sent in clear-text from the SSH server to the POP3 server. quite true. but that seems a slightly more acceptable idea, rather than people on the cable network here (who know that the data is easily accessible) snooping in... (i mean for that matter 99% of people on vsnl networks use pop3. and i repeat vsnl network is zillion times bigger than people on their own pop servers!! so then i guess life's not as bad as it sounds then!!! :-) but yes, i guess i need to find a better option soon!! although the password entering problem is still a bone in the neck type issue.entering a password for two such ssh logins on every boot is sounding like not a best fit solution. affly robins ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Re: [ilugd] problem with knoppix
during the process of installation! could you please elaborate? is it during hard disk recognition? monitor recognition? sound/graphics card i have heard about problems with LiFy distributions, although knoppix should have worked fine. please if possible do try another distribution. the next meet is up on 24th (i think!) do ask someone for a distribution you dont have and give that a try. i can only lend you my cds if need be... you can quite easily run linux from another partition, and frankly that is the preferred way to work, although that involves partitioning your existing partition into two or more... if you are comfortable. good. the installation generally has software and provisions to do it.. you just need to have the courage to say yes!! ;) just kidding... but yes, partitioning is the best way to go about it (stability wise). rbs On Thu, 2003-08-07 at 11:06, rajeevmamc wrote: Sir, I am used to working on windows and now I want to experience linux.

if you are open to the idea of creating different partitions for different directories...(which you seem to be..) then this shouldn't be impossible.. all that you need to do is create for eg. a 5 Gb partition (from the 19Gb and format it as ext3). then copy all your /home stuff verbatim to the new partition as / .. i.e. mount -t ext3 /dev/hdx /mnt/temp cp /home/* /mnt/temp -R umount /mnt/temp mount -t ext3 /dev/hdx /home (your old /home is now temporarily unavailable.. but you can always regain it by rebooting it to root and copying that directory into something else like home-old etc...) i am a learner too. i have tried this and it works. but i'd suggest that if its very critical data, you wait for half a day for anyone on the list to respond to this email if there is something drastically wrong with this.. but i think it should work fine... affly rbs On Sat, 2003-08-02 at 02:04, Viksit Gaur wrote: Hi! ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
RE: [ilugd] Rescuing linux partition from a lilo overwrite
just trying to be a bit more -V on these points here... Try this. 1. boot into rescue mode using Installation CDs. ! 2. mount the root and boot partition of your linux installation on /mnt/sysconfig or something else for e.g. i take for granted that you have only one root partition which contains the boot directory. then probably the installation automatically detected it and mounted it in /mnt/sysconfig...(it does in rh8 atleast) even if it doesnt, it would give you a shell, where you can do a mkdir /mnt/linux mount /dev/hdx /mnt/linux chroot /mnt/linux 3. chroot to that partition and configure lilo, exit from the shell and reboot .. this brings you to a shell prompt with /mnt/linux as the root directory. here goto /etc/lilo.conf... make the changes if reqd. and run lilo... now exit, or simply the famous win-trio keys would work... affly rbs ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

hi, frankly your question is too vague... quite like: i wish to fly... what should i take a glider or the concorde...? (although the comparisons are not corresponding to the ones you stated..) i'd rather say that you are asking the wrong question. (traditional) unix systems are generally(!) for a server end... eg. Solaris, Sco-unix... etc.. linux on the other hand is a variant of unix... but (also) tilted towards the desktop side... in short: if you wish to do learning, on the home front, i'd rather say you need not think,and go straight for linux, especially if your background in such systems is minimal... for cds you could contact people on the list itself.. that has lots of docs to read. (after installation that is..) or visit innumerable sites on the net e.g. www.tldp.org , www.linuxnewbie.org etc... but again, your question is bit too vague for anyone to answer.. and generally (and this goes for most of the new learners) its adviced that in a list like this (or any other such list) newbies are more than welcome, but a little effort on their side is very very appreciated... well: if you ask whether to take Air-India or Sahara from delhi to timbuktu, i think you'd get a lot more answers..!! in english what that means is that a simple unix vs linux or a simple linux learn introduction on google helps quite a bit... atleast in the initial decision making... :-) happy learning. keep smiling affly robins On Thu, 2003-07-31 at 20:44, tarun sundriyal wrote: sir i want to switch towards linux and i am not able to understand weather i must learn unix or linux so can you help me also can u give information about various certificates that i can get from net based on unix or linux.waiting for u r guidance thanks ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

this seems more like, Hey i am feeling hungry, i could eat anything from grub, macaroni, chikan kabaab or even carrots. Please could you tell me what i could eat? Rajiv, making a frantic call like this and asking for what can help me would not help. you need to understand what you may need. If you run a cyber cafe from spectranet, they prefer a linux distribution for this purpose (around 55,000/=), the one that my cyber wallah (service provider) uses is about 30,000 (TechnoInfosys or something). i believe you can save a lot of that money if you could learn how to make use of the available stuff. So, well probably someone might respond saying all distributions of linux are good and easy, you need to know atleast the basics of what distribution helps in what. Then probably you maybe able to select one of them. If you want to pay money, even then, either you need to hire a techy guy, or maybe learn at least the basic (minimal) stuff. so all the best, we are all here to help, but please you would have to do some home work yourself. and yes, of course there are **lots** of Linux software/distributions which help you run a cyber cafe. they vary in 1. expertise required, 2. cost (most are free) and 3. stability/performance. so try and gauge how much you can make an effort, the list should be more than happy to respond. affly robins On Mon, 2003-07-14 at 15:05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I got ur id from the net. i wish to start using Linux softwares.

hi, this is a far fetched query compared to my progress, but i'd just like to ask this for the sake of clarity. (due to my lack of knowledge!) are the licences of gnu software (eg. wget from gnu) and the linux kernel the same? as in, can the code from wget be altered and included into the kernel (with acknowledgements ofcourse) ? i know i am jumping the line by not giving their docs a read, but frankly its german to me, and believe me, i'd rather use some time here making correct decisions programming, rather than *utilize* my time in licences... no offences intended... please could someone clarify me on this one? affly robins ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
[ilugd] xterm problem
hi, i use two applications, gedit, and xterm a bit too much since the past few weeks, and have noticed that beyond a certain limit, xterm just doesnt take more inputs... or well it stops showing anything (key inputs) on screen... 1. the kbd is working, since other apps are working. 2. file etc.. menus on xterm are working.. (through kbd also!) 3. close, and restart xterm lets me work again... is this a memory leak problem? or am i forgetting something(something like a stupid problem that i had since the past few weeks was the Ctrl-S in gedit saves, and Ctrl-S in xterm turns scroll-lock on... and which basically let the console useless..!! yes, looking at the kbd once in a while helps!! ;)) anyways, is there any combination of keys apart from ctrl-s which i might be pressing (unknowningly) for this to happen.. or is it simply a bug? affly robins ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
Re: [ilugd] Can I attach GPG sig to the mailing list?
cant you add it in signature ? thats inline isnt it? (havent tried, but am working on an old 1.0.x evolution...) affly robins On Fri, 2003-07-04 at 16:39, Arindam Dey wrote: Hi all, For the past few days all of the measly contribution that I make to this list is getting bounced back? Is it because of my gpg signature that is going as an attachment. If it is so how can I configure evolution to create inline signatures?? OK it is because of the GPG attachment since this mail initially bounced back now I am resending it so how do i do inline in Evolution ver 1.2.2-5? anybody?

[ilugd] help with utilities in linux
hi all,
I would like to be straight to the point here.
i was doing some file manipulations in linux and have a need for
utilities which help me do the following two activities...
1. to be able to split a big file into different parts (not of similar
sizes) for eg. a 1000 kb file split from 1-100kb, 100-123kb,
123-500kb,.etc... ('split' only does same sizes, 'cut' does only for
one line, and not the whole file...!)
2. secondly, and more importantly, to download only a part of a big file
from an ftp (or an http) server. i.e. download only 100-200kb from a 1Mb
file from the net. ('wget' only restarts a partial download, doesnt seem
to have an option for stopping a download at a particular point..)
any ideas??
(a pointer to a shell/perl script, or a perl module would be fantastic
too..!)
tia.
affly
