 Hey all
 
 I asked the following problem on ##programming (chat.freenode.net) and
 rindolf suggested to mail this mailing list in the hope of finding an
 answer. So here it goes!
 
 I'm currently trying to program a modem with AT commands and had a
 question about those commands.
 problem is: when i call my modem with my cell phone, the cell phone
 makes ringing noises and the modem displays RING for each ringing
 noise I hear. But when i do it the other way around, thus using my
 modem to call my cell phone, the cell phone still makes the ringing
 noises, but my modem doesn't display RING. I want to see those RINGs
 when calling someone with my modem so i can hang up after the cell
 phone user has heard x number of RINGs.
 I'm assuming that's the correct behavior, but i would still like to
 know how many times it has rung when calling, so i can break the
 connection after x number of rings.

Re: Disabling sudo logging very specific command

 Hello,
 
 We have a script which runs in a loop and contains a command like:
 
 for ONE_USER in $USER_GROUP
 {
 sudo $BINDIR/getmail $ONE_USER $TOPDIR
 }
 
 This script is executed by a non-root user and generates tons of
 output in /var/log/secure (this is an old Fedora Core system,
 eventually I'll get around to replace it with CentOS 5).
 
 Is there a way to limit sudo NOT to log just this specific case - i.e.
 only allow this user to execute $BINDIR/getmail with two parameters,
 don't ask for a password but also don't log ONLY execution which was
 permitted by this line?
 
 The script also calls sudo with another specific command which I'd
 like to do the same for.
 
 So far I didn't find a way to do that.

you should be able to do that with adding

Cmnd_Alias BLA = /path/to/getmail * *
youruser ALL=NOPASSWD: BLA
Defaults!BLA !syslog

to /etc/sudoers.

(untested, unwarranted)

[Telux] Next Meeting: CMake on 25-October-2009

2009-10-10 Thread Shlomi Fish
Hi all!

The Tel Aviv Open Source Club will host a talk by Constantine Shulyupin ( 
http://www.linuxdriver.co.il/ ) about CMake - the Nifty Build and 
Configuration System - on 25-October-2009.

The meeting will take place at Tel Aviv University, at the Schreiber MathsCS 
building, room 008 on 18:30. So mark your calendars. For more information can 
be found at:

* http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/telux/

* http://wiki.osdc.org.il/index.php/Tel_Aviv_Meeting_on_25_October_2009

With any other problems, feel free to contact me:

http://www.shlomifish.org/me/contact-me/

Hopefully Constantine will be able to give a re-run of this presentation on 
Haifux and other possible venues.

Abstract:
-

You can see what we have so far here:

http://www.shlomifish.org/lecture/CMake/

We are also planning to re-use some CMake presentations and material that we 
found online. In any case, here's an abstract:

{{{
CMake - cross platform make.
- configure the software build process and generate makefiles (or IDE 
project files) automatically on many systems.
- Advantages over GNU Autotools.
- Smaller archive files and downloads (no huge configure, 
configure.in/configure.ac, Makefile.am, Makefile.in, etc.)
- Faster configurations (using the CMake command).
- no excessive forking and running processes in CMake.
- make/build runs faster (due to no libtool commands).
- much easier to maintain and tends to break less than Autoconf's
m4 macros generating /bin/sh code, with many other tools in between.
Show:
- http://www.seul.org/docs/autotut/figure1.png
- Better Microsoft Windows support:
- can prepare Windows NSIS packages out-of-the-box.
- Its licence is mod-BSDL instead of Autotools' GPL.
}}

CMake may still have some disadvantages over GNU Autotools (a.k.a: GNU 
Autohell), but we like it.

Next on our agenda is starting the Welcome-to-FOSS series:

http://welcome.foss.org.il/2009/

We're looking for volunteer presenters and backup presenters. Currently our 
agenda is here:

http://wiki.osdc.org.il/index.php/Welcome_to_FOSS_-_2009

We are always looking for presentations on interesting topics. If you have an 
interesting idea for a talk, feel free to contact us and we'll co-ordinate a 
date.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

First, buy a switch-router, you don't want do deal with dialing
or NATTing (and all such devices has a crude firewall).

Over the years, I had experience with Edimax, 3com and TP-link.
I did find big differences, all work for few years (at least 5)
and then have problems (usually they don't die completely).

I suggest to buy the latest model (and cheapest).
When performance degrade (which will happen), just replace it.

their address in the USA as yours, they re-ship to wherever you like.

Customs are well aware of these services and will rip a huge hole in
your wallet the very moment they see the remailer's from address.
