[SLUG] Training CD, how? Jave Perl, Quicktime, Flash
Friend has to make a training video that will run off a CD on on P3s
running Win2K.
Involves text, images(jpeg) movies (quicktime), animations (flash),
inter-active questions and a final formal inter-active test which needs
to be secure.
He is going to produce a lot of this with Mac OSX and software.
My guestion is about the glue that holds it all together.
I know it all could be done with HTML, but I don't think this meets the
security needs (aka, the test can not be fiddled).
ATM, a sub-contractor is suggesting Adobe In-Design to produce it all in
Java.
1) (non-linux) Can anyone tell me if this is abad idea and why and have
anyother suggestions.
2 (linux) Can anyone make any recommendations on opensource to produce
it or to run it.
I've just become the general dogsbody that has to solve all the
technical problems {:-(.
If he was going to offer it on-line (WWW), what would you recommend?

If it's to be run un-supervised, especially on boxes not under your
control then there's nothing that can't be fiddled. If it is to be run
on trusted machines, then lock them down (run a browser in kiosk mode?),
not much they can fiddle with if they can't get out of the test. Even if
they're not trusted, it should be possible to at least make it
*difficult* to cheat, you only have to make it not worth the effort, not
necessarily 'secure'.

Always a bad idea =) NFI about In-Design sorry.
2 (linux) Can anyone make any recommendations on opensource to produce
it or to run it.
Do it as a website, whack it on an apache box and serve it up for the
windoze (or any other) machines?
They can't fiddle the test if only the server knows the answers.
If it does have to be on CD, then HTML would work well too. How the test
results or answers are stored or transmitted would be the main problem I
think.
There's open-source flash tools, but the macromedia stuff is probably
easier.
Universities often have computer based quiz type tests, so maybe there's
something open source to do that with.

HTML / Flash / video as mpeg or ogg. No flash even better. Animated gifs
might do for simple animations.
Flash would do the tests pretty well too probably.

[SLUG] Re: port trunking
Trunking, Etherchannel, link aggregation, etc. They are all generally the same thing under a different name. Linux should do it quite well without a problem. But the traffic from the Cisco switch will not be balanced if you have a low end switch. Cisco will only do per-mac-address balancing, so with two links to the same device you will get one link unused. BB Alexander Samad [EMAIL PROTECTED] uttered the following thing: I think this is called bonding in the linux work trunking is the 802.11q (tagging) side note you could run trunking on top of bonding !

I suspect what you want is not, however, what Cisco calls trunking. Trunking in the Cisco world is a means of managing VLAN's - what you want is known as etherchanneling or an etherchannel - it's also easy to setup from the switch side of things, but I don't know how you'd go at the server end.

[SLUG] Home LAN IP details
I have a home LAN - 3 PC's networked via an ethernet switch and connected to the 'Net via a modem/router. The PC's IP's are generated by the modem/router via DHCP. AS the IP assigned appears to depend on the socket on the ethernet switch to which the PC is connected, and as each PC is running a different OS or Linux distro ( some of which are lacking access to basic commands such as ifconfig), and 1 PC is running without monitor/keyboard/mouse and is accessed via tightvnc, is there a command or a GUI that will give me the hostnames and IP's of each PC connected to the LAN?

RE: [SLUG] Home LAN IP details
Usually each of your PCs will register their hostname with the DHCP server when they ask it for an IP. Your modem/router will probably have a web page (look for status or somesuch) that will reveal the names, IP address and MAC (ethernet) address it knows about. Often they also act as a DNS and as such will also reveal the name to IP address mapping via DNS. You can query this with the command nslookup hostname router_ip. A lot of these router/modems even support WINS (the old Windows dynamic name service), you can query this with nmblookup -U router_ip -R hostname. BTW Almost certainly the IP allocated is not associated with the physical port. Usually allocation is simply out of the next one available in the pool of addresses for DHCP.
