Details for /etc/usertty and /etc/securetty
by Sampat Dharmesh 20 Nov '03

20 Nov '03

Hi Friend, I was going thru some article and came across file /etc/securetty followed by /etc/usertty. I was able to restrict console logins to root user thru /etc/securetty but wanted to know the use of /etc/usertty if any could help me out. Also friends, came across a command "chattr" thru which u can set flags to ur file by which they cant be deleted even by root user or can be recovered after deletion or even can be accessed in append only mode, good command to be remembered security point of view as this settings can be used on logfiles.

Linux Bangalore/2003 announced
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 19 Nov '03

19 Nov '03

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Linux Bangalore/2003 announced India's biggest annual Open Source event to take place on December 2/3/4, 2003 Bangalore 19-Nov-2003: Linux Bangalore/2003, India's biggest and most popular Linux and Open Source event, will take palce at Bangalore on December 2/3/4, making it the third year that this event has been organised. What differentiates this event from commercial events (that are typically driven by vendors) is that this event is completely conceived, organised and driven by the Open Source community, focussing on technology talks and a technology expo. Linux Bangalore/2003 continues to work on the basis of its low-cost model - delegates pay only Rs.300 (US$6.50 - Rs.500/US$11 for people who do not register on the website) to have access to all the talks and subevents. The registration fee includes lunch and snacks and a conference T-Shirt. The event itself is funded entirely by sponsorships and sale of expo space. If someone would think that low-cost means low quality - think again! Over the three days, this event will feature almost 100 talks from well known Open Source technologists such as Miguel de Icaza (Mono/Ximian), Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP), Nat Friedman (Ximian), Jeremy Zawodny (MySQL/Yahoo), Bdale Garbee (Debian), Harald Welte (iptables) and others, along with a variety of well known community and industry speakers, including Gopi Garge, Kishore Bhargava, Atul Chitnis, Sirtaj Singh Kang, Naba Kumar, Sudhakar 'Thaths' Chandrasekharan and others. And to end each day, the organizers have planned the screening of a movie, a fusion music concert by the renowned fusion group Laya Taranga, and a rock concert by the well known group Phenom. The event, which consistently has drawn thousands of developers, implementors and enthusiasts from across the world, is sponsored by Linux and Open Source supporters HP, Novell and Exocore, with a number of industry and government bodies endorsing the event as well. Bangalore, already the IT capital of India, is quickly becoming a hothouse for Open Source development, with companies like Ximian/Novell, IBM, HP and others setting up development centres there. About Linux Bangalore/2003: Linux Bangalore/2003 is India's premier Linux/OpenSource event. This annual event brings together professionals and enthusiasts from India, Asia and the rest of the world for a three day Applied Technology Conference. For more information about the event, please visit http://linux-bangalore.org/2003 or contact the organizers at http://linux-bangalore.org/2003/contact/

running the XEmacs "compile" command in bash
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 17 Nov '03

17 Nov '03

Hi, Recently started using XEmacs for most of my coding work. The USP was the "compile" command that lets you use C-` to cycle through errors from the compiler-generated messages. But it seems XEmacs invokes "sh" for the purpose, although ~/.emacs_bash exists, and SHELL is set to "/bin/bash". It invokes bash correctly when I use "M-x shell". The problem is that my Makefile's depend on a lot of environment variables that are set using my .bashrc But sh invoked in non-interactive mode will not load .profile, which is the equivalent file. I need a way to make sure that XEmacs uses /bin/bash when compiling so that all the necessary environment variables are set from my .bashrc Sameer. -- Research Scholar, KReSIT, IIT Bombay http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/
