is there a chance to move the meeting to Sunday, due to the Maccabi game?

Would you or any other F5er would like to update the site directly? I'm getting tired of doing it, and want to delegate some responsibilities to people with less community involvement. A similar issue is publicising in time in Perl-IL, Linux-IL, Whatsup, Linmagazine, which I'd also like to delegate. The previous meeting had very little attendance due to an incredibly low publicity. Everyone dependended on me, and I thought it was unnecessary. (my mistake, I know, but at least we've learned from this experience) Why haven't you written a script by now, that post a message on all these boards? You are so under-productive. You are a programmer - program! Thanks for labelling me as under-productive. :-) As you may well know laziness is one of the three great virtues of a programmer. And besides it's not that simple - I need it in English for the mailing lists, and in Hebrew for the web sites, and I need to customise the content etc. And it's not very time-consuming. However, I feel that with my level of contribution to the FOSS world, I have much better things to contribute to my time than to publicise it, which any HTML-knowing kid can do. And some people practically don't do anything to Perl or FOSS, while I may be over-doing things a bit. What have you done for your country lately? If you don't want publicity for the meetings - fine - I'm not going to do it. If you do want, then someone will have to volunteer. In fact, I'm CCing this message to Linux-IL where some people may volunteer. Regards, Shlomi Fish Good that you CC the list, but what exactly is the request? You want someone to maintain the website? I'll do it. OK, thanks. I guess I can give you my password, but the best way would be for Gabor ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) to give you a username+password there. You want someone to publicise meetings offline? I'll hang papers at the Technion. Not offline - online. For the Perl meetings. I need someone to publicise it on Linux-IL, Hackers-IL, Whatsup, Linmag, etc. You want someone to translate Linux info HebEng, sent it to me. I'll be glad to help with what I can. No, that's not necessary. You may have lost context. Until now, the Perl mongers had me as their sole publicity officer and their web-site maintainer. However, now I find that I have much better things to do with my time. It is not very time consuming, but still annoying. I've grown past that. So we're looking for a volunteer.

dynamically configuring ssh ip address
Hi, I have the usual VPN connection to my workplace, a simple pon work will bring me up to the network. Given that I leave my home machine connected to VPN 24/7, I'd like to connect home from work using the VPN address, which is much faster. Right now, in order to do this I have to ssh my no-ip address ifconfig ppp0 and then connect to the IP address I get there. Instead, I'd like to update .ssh/config on my work machine to know that my home machine is currently available at a particular VPN address. I already have a script under /etc/ppp/ip-up.d at home which does some stuff (e.g. setup additional routing rules) and this script has access to the just assigned local address through the $PPP_LOCAL envariable. But how can I copy this information over to my work machine in a useful format? The current solution I can think about is to setup a special ssh identity which will have an unencrypted private key on home machine. Its public key will only be limited to run a particular shell script on the work machine which will read the given IP address and do something a-la sed -e 's/@IP_ADDRESS@/$PPP_LOCAL/' .ssh/config_template .ssh/config. Is this the only way to do this? Is there a more elegant way I'm missing? (We currently use MS VPN, maybe once I get around to switch to OpenVPN I'll have more control over this and be able to dynamically assign host names based on the user used to login to the VPN? Is this possible with MS VPN?) Both work and home machines run Debian Etch (Stable, at last :). Thanks, --Amos

If your sysadmin at work is nice enough and you have an internal DNS server, you could pretty easily update it with a DNSSEC key and 'nsupdate'. (We currently use MS VPN, maybe once I get around to switch to OpenVPN I'll have more control over this and be able to dynamically assign host names based on the user used to login to the VPN? Is this possible with MS VPN?) This is probably the basic Windows RAS Service. In this case, just go to Active Directory Users and Computers, select your user, go to the Dial-in tab and fill out the Assign a static IP input box.

I inherited the network a couple of months ago and going forward hope to transform it to an open network based on Linux, though there might be some parts (hopefully small island) which I won't be able to convert (e.g. almost everyone else will want to stick to Windows desktops, and to Exchange Server).

Yep, just as I described: make your company's DNS server accept your DNSSEC key for updating your home machine's A record. Assuming you have access to yoru company's DNS server, of course, since according to you, you're not allowed to touch the AD...
