Re: [SLUG] Passing usernames
Ok I have worked with the LDAP and w2k. The only Issue is that you might have a look at Netscape's version of LDAP as you will be able to sync between windows and Linux user ids and so on. Download Netscape directory server it's free as well. The only problem is that netscape directory server uses alot of processing power in the server side.

I don't know if there's a WindoZe based LDAP solution which is compatible, but it could be worth looking into. Samba should almost certainly be able to do something like what you want.

[SLUG] Committee meeting minutes - 26th March
Minutes of the SLUG committee meeting 26th March 2002 Present: * Jeff Waugh * Craige McWhirter * Jaime Wilkinson * Peter Hardy * Mary Gardiner * Tony Green * Jan Schmidt SLUG Meetings Decisions: * Meetings to be more closely moderated, particularly QA Sessions. Tony Green to chair meetings. * Less time to be spent on general QA. * Introduce small 5-10 minute presentations. * Meeting announcements. Three weeks beforehand, with a reminder one week before the meeting. * Next month's talks: Jeff Waugh on postfix Andrew Bennetts on python Tony Green to demonstrate spamassassin Stronger moderation is needed during meetings to keep the discussion on topic, and to prevent excess disruption during speaker presentations. We would like to reduce the time spent on general QA sessions, as this is already well-serviced by the mailing lists. This time would be better spent with small 5-10 minute presentations, to demonstrate a new or interesting piece of software, showcase work the speaker has been doing, or similar. It's hoped this will lower the bar and make it easier for people to participate in SLUG, and we'll be actively seeking people to give talks in this category. Suggestions for future talks: Jan Schmidt offered a talk on various video issues under Linux. Desktop software comparisons (GNOME, KDE, ...). Distribution introductions and comparisons. Linux communities. Network bootstrapping with cfengine. Migrating to Linux. Contributing to Linux (for coders and non-coders). Migration from one Linux solution to another (eg: sendmail to postfix). Managing spam. Linux for corporate desktops. As always, volunteers for these or any other talk would be most welcome. SLUG website Decisions: * Final decision on the new SLUG website will not be made until Jeff can demo his new code based on work done for gnome.org. * SLUG logo will remain unchanged. Angus Lee's beta website (http://beta.slug.org.au) was considered for the final site, but concerns were raised about future maintainability. The other alternative is Jeff Waugh's new website, which he will demonstrate shortly after his return from Spain. It was agreed to withhold a decision until then. Alternatives to the logo displayed on the current SLUG website were discussed. We would like to keep the current logo, but would like to obtain higher-quality images for the new site. This will be the responsibility of the new website maintainer. Other activities * Gamesfest? This will be partly covered by the Workshop, but we'd like to hold a dedicated one if there's enough interest. * Codefest. We should approach UNSW Compsoc for another codefest. Possibly incorporating a bug-squishing event. * These fests need organisers. * Social events. Craige will be organising another paintball day soon. Bowling or lasertag were also discussed as possible activities. Financial business Actions: * Need a current signatory to grant access to accounts. Jamie Wilkinson to organise. * Unpaid accounts: Insurance Dep. Fair Trading for incorporation. PO Box renewal * Insurance statements still going to Jamie Honan. Jamie Wilkinson to acquire, change address. Other business Actions: * Jeff Waugh to update membership details on SLUG website, and Peter Hardy to reply to ACCC. * Jan Schmidt to research the purchase of a video camera to record SLUG meetings. Decisions: * General Meeting to be held at May SLUG meeting to discuss proposed changes to the Constitution. * Jan Schmidt to research the purchase of a video camera to record SLUG meetings. The cost of membership stated on the SLUG website doesn't specifically include the GST. This is in breach of Sections 52 and 52(a) of the Trade Practices Act, and we have recently received correspondence from the ACCC in regards to this. Jeff Waugh is to correct the website. We would like to modify the terms of membership as follows: Payment of fees grants membership until the next AGM. Fees will be $25, or $12.50 after September. We also need to collect contact details of financial members. This will most likely take the form of an email address. A suitable privacy policy governing the use of these details needs to be formulated and approved. These changes require amendments to the Constitution and must be voted on at a General Meeting. Mary Gardiner to announce. We would like to investigate purchasing equipment to allow us to record and distribute talks presented at SLUG meetings. Jan Schmidt will look into this and get back to us next month. Other issues to look at are the distribution of media files and caring and
[SLUG] Evolution plain text fonts
Hi All, I have recently installed Ximian Evolution 1.0.3 onto my computer. While I am impressed with the program, I detest the way it displays plain text fonts. I have been to their support page but it only tells you to change the fixed width fonts in GNOME control centre, but they are all pretty poor. Mozilla Mail can display plain text messages in non-fixed with fonts, and KMail can display plain text messages in any font I want. Does anyone know how to make Evolution use nicer fonts (eg Times or helvetica) for plain text messages? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [SLUG] Mozilla trouble
FWIW, the backslash is not valid in a URL. My guess: Netscape convert errant backslashes to forward slashes in such URLs, whereas Moz and Galeon do not. Just another example of M$ dirty inovation. IE is improved so that sites that put backslashs in instead of forward still work. Then frontpage suddenly has a bug in it that publishes links with backslashes instead of forward. The result. Users see the site rendering correctly in IE but not in any other browser and therefore assume that it's a browser problem and change to IE. Other browsers are then forced to also break the standard in their next release.

Linus' view on kernel debugging aids seems to be that anything more than a register and stack dump is too much hassle for too little gain. Registers and stack already give you the bulk of what you want to know (assuming the symbols have been decoded by ksymoops, of course), which is what the kernel was doing at the time it died. Others have disagreed... Yes, and I can sympathise with them. I once tried to keep up with the linux-kernel list, but I just couldn't keep it up.

OTOH, it could also be more sensitive to the XF86Config modeline stuff

occassionally happen on my main system, but it is not consistent and
since this boxen gets various cards (video and TV) and XF86Config stuff,
I suspect certain combos might not play together.

You did google for `Linux Kernel Crash Dumps', no? Sorry. Anyway, lkcd.sf.net is what you are after. It might get integrated, it might not. You can always petition Alan Cox to include it in RedHat's kernel when is downunder next year. Yep, that sounds really good - thanks. A friend at Sun remarked that supporting Linux at the enterprise level is much harder than supporting Solaris, mainly because Linux has no crash dump facility. That is, when Solaris crashes, it leaves a dump I've only had Solaris crash 5 times (same number as Linux) and have only had it generate a crash dump once. All the other times involved IO code and/or hardware and the machine(s) just spontaneously rebooted. So Linus' thoughts on the desirability of having crash dump code in the kernel is understandable; your friend's comments about support ease with crash dumps isn't though. I don't think I'm alone in having only a 20% successful crash dump on catastrophic failure. The impression I had, talking to him, was that being able to get a crash dump was normal under Solaris, not a 1 in 5 chance. Hmm. Having lived through a few Linux panics, I have to agree that it has nothing like this - it has something only marginally better than Windows NT's blue screen of death. Slightly more than marginally; I'm in the process of restoring a corrupted LVM partition of mine. The LVM code thinks there are more bits to the disk than there really and regularly generates faults. Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant, it didn't seem to be much better than NT as far as providing crash dump type info. I agree that it's much more robust in the face of serious errors. I'm still using my machine despite it having `opps'ed about 45 minutes ago. I can't access the particular partition in question though, I'll need to reboot, but having only that particular subsystem/hardware item be locked off it damn handy. Agreed. (At least Linux has ksymoops so that after you have laboriously copied down a text screen full of hex numbers, and then typed them in, you can at least get some symbolic debug info. So it's better than Windows, but it's a painful process.) Normally ksymoops is tied into your logfile stuff so it automagically decodes the entries that got logged without the need for you to copy things down. I didn't know that until tonight. :-) Though in my case, no Oops stuff was logged, and the system completely and utterly froze. All I could do was copy stuff down from the screen. Fortunately this was for a problem that was so repeatable that I could provoke it without X running. (Normally, the console was not on display, only X. I mean the machine was utterly stopped.) Even more important is that you can actually look at the code and see where it all went to pieces. Agreed. Does anyone know whether something more like Solaris's kind of facility is being planned for Linux? Hopefully this is more info than you wanted to know.

[SLUG] stopping StarOffice services
Morning,
I notice in gtop's memory view, that about 20% of my precious 128M is
going to sschdled and ssserverd - processes owned by root, or perhaps
more accurately Sun StarDivision, as neither I nor root can stop them.
I only use StarOffice 3 or 4 times a year. It's a waste of memory the
way it's working now.
I'd like to be able to do something like
/etc/init.d/someservice stop
to these processes. Gtop's kill and the command line kill don't seem to
work.
Ultimate solution would be to uninstall StarOffice and reinstall on
those occasions when I want it.
I'd welcome your suggestions,
Nick

[SLUG] Trying to compile Apache with php
Hi all,
I am having a hard time trying to get Apache built with php support to test
Squirellmail!! I am using Apachetoolbox as I have no experience in doing
this sort of thing other than with tollbox.
When I get to the make in Apache I am getting:

make[3]: *** [ap_cpystrn.o] Error 1

from what I see: ap_cpystrn is including httpd.h which includes buff.h which
has the offending line.
The relevant section from buff.h seems to be (have included the entire
structure ap_ctx is toward the bottom. I am stumped as never had this

have a look for the definition of ap_ctx cos the bit you've included looks ok.

We ex- pect significant changes as a result. The role of AUUG's Officers and General Committee Members is to manage, plan and execute, according to the will of the general membership. This stewardship is not passive, nor is it always easy. However, serving the AUUG community is also immensely re- warding because, simply, our goals matter and we can make a dif- ference. What should AUUG be doing next year? How can we serve our members and our community better? What great ideas are out there, just waiting for their chance to be tried out? How do we better pro- mote our knowledge and philosophies? Do you know the answers to some of these questions? Are you the sort of person who knows how to get things done? Or do you know someone like this? AUUG needs people with fire and clue. Help make AUUG the kind of association you want it to be--nominate the best people for elec- tion to our Management Committee.

Subject: [SLUG] stopping StarOffice services
Morning,
I notice in gtop's memory view, that about 20% of my precious 128M is
going to sschdled and ssserverd - processes owned by root, or perhaps
more accurately Sun StarDivision, as neither I nor root can stop them.
I only use StarOffice 3 or 4 times a year. It's a waste of memory the
way it's working now.
I'd like to be able to do something like
/etc/init.d/someservice stop
to these processes. Gtop's kill and the command line kill don't seem to
work.
Ultimate solution would be to uninstall StarOffice and reinstall on
those occasions when I want it.
I'd welcome your suggestions,
Nick

Re: [SLUG] Help with backup tape
you would not normaly mount a tape (thought Im sure it can be done). Do you know the command that was used to do the backup? Assuming it was tar, the command you want is tar -xvf /dev/st0 while your current directory is some place with lots of space, perhaps an freshly made filesystem.
