Proposal for a Meet on 6th Jan
by Nagarjuna G. 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

I am proposing a meet on 6th Jan, and also proposing an agenda (if Sameer agrees to it): Using SGML to generate Documents, and converting SGML/XML to other popular formats like, ps, rtf, pdf etc. I have been using LaTeX for this task and highly satisfied, and would also love to learn the SGML tools to do the same. It is necessary that the hackers on the list should learn the power of these time tested tools, and should be introduced to them sooner than later. Should we decide Sameer! on your introduction/tutorial to structured documentation using SGML?

Squid Proxy triggering
by Vaibhav Pradhan 04 Jan '02

04 Jan '02

I have installed Squid on Linux server and accessing the internet from a Win95 m/c. Now, whenever the modem installed on the Linux server gets disconnected I have to go & dial from the server. Instead, I to configure the proxy such that the moment open the browser from the Win 95 client, Squid should cause the PPP to dialout automatically without my intervention. Can anybody tell me the config details for the same : I have Redhat Linux 7.1 installed & Squid which cam along with the package. Vaibhav... Vaibhav...

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Search in a file

>\root\sandeep\log111.txt >This files has a lot of text and one particulr line is ..... >##Date 24-07-2001 > >Now >1. I need to locate the line "##Date" in the above file >2. I then need to store the date value "24-07.2001" in a variable. Which language you are using? I assume Perl, because this is much simpler in Perl. 1. Open the file for reading. 2. Search for the above string by reading every line. $_ variable contains the current line. You can do this by using pattern searching operations in Perl. 3. Once you find the above line then split that line at spaces and collect the required date in a variable. Here is the code which I would prefer to write. open(RH,"</root/sandeep/log111.txt"); while(<RH>) { if($_ =~ /##Date/) { $flag = 1; } else { $flag = 0; } if($flag eq 1) { ($str1, $str2) = split(/ /, $_); $date = $str2; } } Hope this is very much clear.

[OT] - Winamp For Linux
by Kunal Gangakhedkar 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

Hey Guys, For those Multimedia freaks, Check out Winamp3 beta 2 review. Also, they've designed the new API called WASABI, uniform for all the operating systems(currently works with Linux And Win32). This means, Winamp will now work with Linux as well.... Plus, whatever you develop for Winamp3 on Win32 using WASABI will work with very less or no modification on Linux as well. It's great..... ( that is what I think !!!) Hope to get your reviews as well... Kunal ------------------ "Oh, I've seen copies [of Linux Journal] around the terminal room at The Labs." (By Dennis Ritchie)

[sec] scanning signs
by kishor bhagwat 31 Dec '01

31 Dec '01

hi! I'm attaching a file containing excerpts from my syslog. Wanted to generate some discussion regarding interpretation of the entries.... fyi, I'm behind a proxy server.I've got iptables running. you can look at the file first, and then read on.. my two cents.. this is a malicious attempt-not innocent at all!! hint:same destination and source ports... most certainly, the source IPs are spoofed, the attacker is within the LAN that i;m part of. hint:packet with a destination of all 255s... I've also got snort running on the same machine....it didnt generate any alerts... does anyone recognise any particular scanner's signature here? anyone know what particular exploit(s) this guy was looking for? inviting more inputs from u guys. regards, kishor __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

clustering

hi I have been hunting for a problem definition for my b.e. project. Well, the search has been narrowed down to Web Server Clustering. I've seen the stuff at www.linuxvirtualserver.org and at lcic.org, But haven't been able to find a precise problem. Has anybody on the list worked in that area??? If yes could you direct me or suggest a few problem defn.s fit for us at b.e. level?? ciao abhijeet
