Its licensed under GPL. http://www.wordpress.org/ Veer. http://www.blogstreet.com/ Blog Profile, RSS Ecosystem, Blog Tops, Search and Directory

IRC server for ILUG-Mumbai !
by Saurabh Sawant 02 Jan '05

02 Jan '05

Hi guys, Since the website http://www.ilug-bom.org.in is hosted on a server at TIFR ( i think so ) , can we have an IRC server set up there so that, there can be more interaction, fast responses and good discussions ? As for improving the ettiquete of this mailing list , we can invite people who make mistakes to a room at IRC and teach them the proper way. And also, i think it will also compliment this wonderful mailing list. I request Sir Nagarjuna to look into this. Regards, Saurabh Sawant ! :) _________________________________________________________________ The hottest products!

[OT] Saving Lives
by Rony Bill 01 Nov '04

Dear Luggers, This is off topic. The recent fire at Sion had 3 casualties. A woman and her child took refuge in a lift to escape from the fire and reach the ground floor. However, just at that time, the building's power was switched off for safety and the two got trapped inside, inhaled poisonous gases and expired. To prevent such tragedies from happenning, lift manufacturers could provide a mechanical crank inside the lift to let the occupants slowly bring the lift up or down to a safe floor. If the doors are the automatic type, then a mechanical arrangement to open the door in case of an emerrgency. As a safety measure, the door will open only when the lift has aligned with any available floor. If you know people in this profession, please pass on this message to them. Regards, Rony.

a question on open relay??
by BIJU KRISHNAN 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

Hi All, Could you pls analyze the following transcript of my session with a remote server and help me judge whether the server is in some sense an open relay...One thing abt the server is that it passes all anonymous relaying tests.....but what if i know two contacts on the same server.. ---------------------------------------------------- [root@bijucyborg root]# telnet 2XX.1XX.XXX.XX 25 Trying 2XX.1XX.XXX.XX... Connected to 2XX.1XX.XXX.XX. Escape character is '^]'. 220 COPSTOP.com ESMTP ehlo popa 250- COPSTOP 250-PIPELINING 250 8BITMIME mail from:xyz@COPSTOP 250 ok rcpt to:abc@COPSTOP.com 250 ok data 354 go ahead we went to school together . 250 ok 1099213953 qp 10543 quit 221 COPSTOP.com Connection closed by foreign host. ------------------------------------------------------ As I have observed the server accepts message from xyz@COPSTOP to abc@COPSTOP. 1. xyz and abc are two valid users on the system. 2. This session was carried from a random machine on the internet. If this is dangerous....assuming that i'am using sendmail, could u pls suggest a technique to stop this. bye rgds biju __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

2 cpus instead of one
by Keith Fernandez 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

Hi, I have a few linux servers which in /proc/cpuinfo shows the number of cpu's, on some servers, however I have only one cpu but top and /proc/cpuinfo show's two. Any idea why does it show like this and what is a correct way for analysing how many CPU's are present on the system. Does this happen on only certain hardware, as I have noticed this on my SuperMicro and HP servers only. Thanks in advance... Regards, Keith
