When traversing a linked list
by Satya 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

When traversing a linked list, be sure to: 1. initialize your temp pointer 2. advance your temp pointer <bart simpson mode> for(i=0;i<bb_size;i++) { fprintf(bb,"I will not leave my temp pointer uninitialised"); } for(i=0;i<bb_size;i++) { fprintf(bb,"I will not forget to advance my temp pointer"); } </bart simpson mode> Mostly, read http://www.livejournal.com/users/satyap/ -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> I need a job! Perl, Apache, Linux, C. http://www-scf.usc.edu/~phanse/resume.pdf Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.

Mail server?
by Amish K. Munshi 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

Hi, I know I am asking a wrong question just as many have but I am asking just becuse of a little nervousness. I really need help on this one and the only reason I am asking this is to know how much help I will get on any mail server. on this list. I am going live with a complete webhosting and domain name providing service. I need to know which is the best mail server for this purpose. As always the choices are qmail,sendmail, postfix and exim. I have worked with qmail, postfix and sendmail with decreasing order of knowledge about hem. I have never installed exim. Other question is that, does sendmail provide virtual hosting. I have used virtual hosting but that was as system users in sendmail. I want completely transperent virtual hosting. So a amish{at}munshi.dyndns.org will not be any diferent from amish{at}munshi.d2g.com. That will not do my needs. Sorry guys for this question, but its a little more than just a same question. Bye.

Execute as root on apache
by Amish Munshi 24 Nov '02

24 Nov '02

Hello all, I have a script which is going to add a new user to the system. I am using PHP to execute that script, I have a suid on that script (shell script). But I get permission denied in the logs, the page opens well in the browser. I tried the following, changing the owner of the script to apache and root while giving it 711 permission and 4711 permission. But all does not work. It seems that apache just reads the file and execute the commands in it. How can I execute a script in any folder (on the system) as root. Bye.

creating Desktop shortcuts form java program
by kshitijv 24 Nov '02

24 Nov '02

Hello Luggers, I am developing a cross platform installer in java. I need to create desktop shortcuts and start menu item on Unix/Linux. I am considering KDE, GNOME, Openwin and CDE as target GUI for Unix/Linux systems. I am a newbie for GUI programming on Unix/Linux. Can anybody help me to accomplish this? I am ready for using any native code if required. It will be great if I can get insight with respect to nature and structure of shortcut (link) files. Is there any readymade library (docs) of APIs like we have MSDN for windows? -Kshitij kshitijv e-mail: kshitijv(a)forindia.com

Mumabi Linux tour
by mails＠munshi.dyndns.org 24 Nov '02

24 Nov '02

Hi, How about having a tour around the city, visiting as many hardware assemblers and teaching them basic installation of linux (hope we agree on a distribution which we can install in front of them). My hardware vendor have engineers who are prety smart but have never used linux so do not know much about it and can not support my system. Since many assemblers take a risk by giving pirated softwares with their PC's they may like this idea. Also Linux will gain a upper hand in being the first OS that people get on their PC and problems with learning a new OS will not exist for linux anymore. We will be fighting propritary software right the at the root. The negative side will be that their software modems and printers (which are cheaper) will not make a market so they may even resist this. We also can ask them (the assemblers and the new users) to subscribe to our mailing list to ask for help. I would suggest an easy to use distribution like Mandrake, or caldera. I would really prefer caldera since it fits on a single CD and assemblers can easily provide a copy of with every comp they sell. Also caldera has limited number of applications, for example just 1-2 broswers, which can be quiet helpful for newbies to computers, also I have not heard a lot of flames for caldera as there are for RH and mandrake. On the other hand, Mr. Rajeev had a problem with Myson NIC which worked under Mandrake, but the kernel module would not compile under most of the other distributions. This is finally just an idea guys, may be there is something very wrong in this idea and may not work at all. Bye

Re: creating Desktop shortcuts form java program
by kshitijv 24 Nov '02

Hi Trevor, I need to create shortcuts to only HTML files (startup files for installed application). I have KDE and GNOME installed. I searched for the directories and found that KDE Desktop shortcuts are in Desktop directory in user's home. The K menu items are in /usr/share/applnk/. I was able to create Desktop shortcuts for KDE. But... On our system, the "users" group doesn't have write permission on menu directory. Also for GNOME its files are in /usr/share/gnome/apps/ where "users" don't have write permission. My client will be a normal user who will use the installer and should be able to create shortcuts for him without needing special access previlages. I tried to create files in user's home directory but they didn't reflected in start menu. For GNOME I could not create Desktop shortcuts also. If I create them manullay (right click desktop and select new link item) the corresponding files that are created have some generated names like "url13546" etc. and contain a single line like URL: file:/home/kshitij/myfile.htm If I create similar file (say testlink) it doesn't work. Also no HTML icon is displayed. You talked about some project pages. Can you forward me links to them? Thnaks for help. -Kshitij > > a newbie for GUI programming on Unix/Linux.
