>>Squid troubles<<
by BIJU KRISHNAN 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

Hi dhanesh, Could you please be specific on which sites u have problems with coz I can ask other admins to test them..and we'll find out whether the problem is specific or general. Well as rishi pointed out Masquerading may help...but then the purpose of caching pages is not met. Check /var/log/squid/access.log it will show u if the component has been rejected or a MISS..maybe if u could send specific logs...might clinch the problem..! I use a sify gateway to the internet..and they use a cache engine based on squid..! I'am not able to log onto http://chat.mantraonline.com the applet cannot connect to the server. If you wanna enable MASQ just put these lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local #--------------------------------------------------------------- # Load the NAT module #--------------------------------------------------------------- modprobe iptable_nat #--------------------------------------------------------------- # Allow masquerading # Enable routing by modifying the ip_forward /proc filesystem file # - Interface eth0 is the internet interface # - Interface eth1 is the private network interface #--------------------------------------------------------------- iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -o eth0 -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0/0 -j MASQUERADE echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward #--------------------------------------------------------------- # Prior to masquerading, the packets are routed via the filter # table's FORWARD chain. # Allowed outbound: New, established and related connections # Allowed inbound : Established and related connections #--------------------------------------------------------------- iptables -A FORWARD -t filter -i eth1 -m state \ --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -t filter -i eth0 -m state \ --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT You could also google for mini howto on Transparent Proxy...its normally the first link. You seem to be a advanced user, and examining logs is the way out. Bye Rgds BijuCyborg __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

by Amish Munshi 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

Greetings, Sameer can we have the meeting at IITB this sunday? Considering most of the responses IITB appears to be the most desired location. Mr. Prasad Kulkarni (from MET) was requesting if we could have the meetings on saturday instead of sundays. For this meeting on 8th, we will have it on sunday and decide about the same at the meet. There have been many requests for meetings to be held on weekdays. We will address this topic at the meet. Topics : 1. Formation of a team for co-ordinating the activities of Mumbai GLUG (and maybe indian and global events as well). We need more speakers on various topics, please come forward and mail to me regarding the same. Regards.

Compressing CD-ROMS
by Iqbal Dehlvi 04 Aug '04

04 Aug '04

I have a lot of files, which are ranged from 735mb to 1.5 gigabytes. I´d like to burn each of those files to a single cd, but they exceed the capacity of every cd(700mb max). I would be thankful if you can help me knowing any special softwares for this .... I´ve had several ideas of how to achieve this: 1. Re-encode the ones that are video files: Several of them are, but re-encoding is very time consuming and i need to free hard disk space often, plus I´m not an expert encoder and it would take time for me to learn how not to degrade the quality while re-encoding. Re-encoding is not an option. 2. Compress the ones that are data files or databases: but if I use zip software, in order to read em from the cd, it extracts the whole file to a temporary directory on my hard drive, which is time consuming. I want to be able to read the files on the fly, just like every "NORMAL" cd. So any one can guide me in this. Regards ID

Venue wish list for Linuxers meets in Mumbai
by Sriram N 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

All: At the risk of sounding self-centred: If we could host the meets in the Central or Harbour lines, I'd be really grateful. The earlier I leave Mumbai for Nashik, the better chances of me getting a good night's sleep before going to work the next day. On a smooth traffic day, this is the time I take to reach Nashik >From Dadar - 5.30 hours >From Thane - 3.30 hours >From Kalyan - 3.00 hours My location preference would be IIT (KReSIT), TIFR (Mankhurd), MET (Bandra), someother place (Novell - Andheri MIDC?). Thanks, -- Sriram __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - Send 10MB messages! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail

Configurating the monitor etc for X
by Abhijeet D Mhatre 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

Hi Long ago there used to be a command line utility called Xconfigurator which would probe the monitor and other things and write these settings in XF86Config. This utility was there till RedHat Linux 6. Afterwards it was discontinued. I have a RedHat Linux system installed (RH 9). If I chanage the monitor, X doesn't work. because the monitror has to be configured. Is there any command line utility which can help probe and configure the monitor. I tried searcing for Xconfigurator on the net, but the rpms and srps on http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/20917/com/Xconfigurator-2.0.1-1… give the errror messsage "not an rpm package (or package manifest):" I need either Xconfigurator source code or some other similar utility. regards Abhijeet D Mhatre
