Re: [SLUG] VOIP like skype (apologies if this is a re-send)
Welcome to lock_in hell Skype is frowned on in the communications industry as its not a joint standard and it tied into one company ** cough ms word cough **. SIP and H.323 (and some derivative standards) are fully supported by CISCO/Linux/NEC/SAMSUNG/ALCATEL just to name a few. There are Linux VoIP telephones on sale in Australia ( ZIP Phone comes to mind ) so avoid those nasty single company Internet things your just locking yourself for a wallet emptying experience.

Re: [SLUG] ssh with packet loss
hi does any of your gurus here have an idea to make the recovery of the ssh-session faster? nfi about how to make ssh recover faster, if it's at all possible, but have you looked at using mtr to show you if it's packetloss and/or latency? mtr rocks for network probs :) yep, but it only confirms my first guess. it is the high packet loss on the wifi-segment. but after some investigation on the net i have not found a solution for my problems. it is also very interessting, that most of the time the packet needs to flow around is on a connection from sydney to san francisco (i guess the abbreviation stood for san francisco, because hop after was definitely chicago). thanks for the help, gottfried -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] ssh with packet loss
hi if it's definitely packet loss then there's nothing ssh can do about it.. maybe get a wireless sniffer to examine the signal strength - check you have good reception.. also, i had a wireless AP that the signal strength continually dropped to 0, causing dropouts of various connections for some people, and also meant that my laptop effectively couldn't join the network at all :( yep, that is axactly the problems i have. on some spots in the building the connection drops sporadically to zero and causes a packet loss and because DHCP is in use also a loss of the assigned ip, because the wifi connection has been closed. yeh, you can see some strange routes sometimes.. i've seen Sydney to Melbourne via Brisbane and even routes between 2 data centres in Sydney going through San Fran.. usually when there's big outage somewhere though and BGP goes wild :) hehe, the same in vienna/austria. there is a great provider that routes packages from one district via the USA and back - very fast when you try to VOIP with a study-mate and he is living in the neighbour street. anyway, thanks for all, gottfried -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Never mind, I figured it out myself.
The version of screen I was running was a tad to old.
Upgraded and it works.

[SLUG] chgrp question and/or problem.
all, I havent had to do this for a while ie change group status as a USER, but now I do ... /tmp is a mounted partition. [127] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ls -la /tmp total 7760 drwxrwxrwt 19 root root16384 Jan 15 12:38 . drwxr-xr-x 27 root root 4096 Oct 22 23:20 ..

Otherwise root can change UID and GID as it wishes. Non-root can't change UID of file. Non-root can't change GID of file if he isn't the owner. If non-root owns a file it can change the GID to any of the groups the changing process belongs to. Any change of GID is subject to quotas. Both for root and non-root processes: Change of UID turns suid off. Change of GID for group-executable turns sgid off. ... ... How come I cant change that bloody UID?
