So please use the forum (within the groupware, if you are registered, or the other one, if you have not registered) to list your project. I suppose this will help in the following ways: 1. the luggerz will understand exactly what the project is all about 2. luggerz can decide whether they have the know-how to guide the project and volunteer as mentors. 3. maintain some basic online listing for projects/students/mentors. These are my personal views. I wud welcome suggestions / changes / modifications to this procedure. --- Regards, | www.thefreespeech.org | ----------------------------------------- Himanshu | Initiate - Collaborate - Contribute | Get your own FREE E-mail address at http://www.linuxfreemail.com Linux FREE Mail is 100% FREE, 100% Linux, and 100% yours!

ssh without passwords?
by Satya 08 Aug '02

08 Aug '02

I am logged in to host A. I want to ssh to host B without giving a password. I run ssh-keygen on A. I copy-paste the public key file to B. I attempt ssh from A to B. B asks for password. What am I doing wrong? (Leave aside that not using ssh-agent and passphrases is insecure.) -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> Reactor error -- core dumped.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2002 10:09:52 +0000 To: ACMBOMBAY-GENERAL(a)ACM.ORG Hello, I would like to remind you of the brainstorming-cum-debate session on the topic titled: "What makes computer games playable?" coming on Friday August 9, 2002 at 6:30pm at NCST, Gulmohar Cross Road 9, Juhu, Mumbai 400049. This event would be held as a part of the ACM meeting, which is held once every month. Although, the topic is quite general, it is recommended that you read *something* regarding this topic. A good exemplary reference material is: http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/fac/peabody/game-book/Coverpage.html (This reference is a bit dated but nevertheless may still be useful) Hopefully, you'll read more about this topic -- and not read ONLY the reference cited above :) -- for the discussion/debate to be fruitful. Hoping to see you here! regards - JJH ps - If you are interested in giving a seminar for ACM please contact me. -- ---------------------------------------- 57. It is easier to change the specification to fit the program than vice versa. courtesy: Epigrams in Programming, Alan J Perlis ============================================================================== Jayprasad J.

Some Changes in groupware
by Himanshu Shukla 07 Aug '02

07 Aug '02

Dear all, Trevor pointed out that the mentors could not create projects under the projects section in phprojekt. I have made some changes for this to take effect. New users who sign in as mentors will now be able to create new projects. As for those already signed in, I made the changes manually. Please let me know if anyone faces any problem in signing in, especially existing users. I am also in the process of changing the forum to something more accessible - something which won't require a login, and with search abilities. Also..there was a post sometime back regarding a repository of configuration files. Any ideas of how we could go about it (in the site or in the groupware)? --- Regards, | www.thefreespeech.org | Himanshu | Initiate - Collaborate - Contribute |
