(Monitor, Qmail) related problems.
by Bilal Ahmed Mazhar 23 Sep '04

Hi Please find two problems, any help will be appreciated. 1)----- If I don't touch any key or mouse for 10-15 minutes my Linux monitor's displays goes off and when I touch either of the device it comes again. I know its the facility to save unnecessary wastage of power. But I don't know how to disable it. 2)----- If Qmail is configured for gold.com as localdomain then any mail to ExistUser(a)gold.com is delivered to the user properly but NonExistUser(a)gold.com is bounced back immediately. How to forward NonExistUser's email to the gold.com existing on the internet. Second thing is when I fetch messages from gold.com to my local machine by fetchmail command it shows delivery to local users but messages don't appear in ./Maildir. Regards, Bilal Ahmed mobile: 9870280173

[ILUG-BOM] [commercial]Two Day Program on " Open Source - The Returns On The Emerging Technology" on 24th & 25th Sept. 2004

Open Source � The Returns On The Emerging Technology A comprehensive insight on the path-breaking technology ON September 24 - 25, 2004 Timings: 9:30 AM � 5:00 PM Organised by Iducate Managers Intruduction The rapid pace in which the Linux and the Open Source Movement have been developing meteorically in the recent years is being watched upon very closely by the entire world. The Open Source movement is an extremely powerful model for software development and advancement, and emerging economies like India particularly have a lot to gain from adopting it. �In the information age, value is based not on scarcity but on familiarity" - This is the seed thought for the movement. Open Source technologies is a term used to define those technologies which is available to the public in source code form, and which does not have licensing restrictions Open Source software generally is distributed under a license that guarantees the right to read, modify, redistribute and use the software freely. Much of the open source software is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). Objective To understand the Open Source Technology and achieve clarity of thinking for making cost-effective information technology based decisions. A further take-home would be a freedom of choice on decisions of softwares, an insight into the value-added benefits of the Open Source Technology and best-practices for smooth migration. Open Source is doing what GOD, government and market have failed to do. It is putting powerful technology within the reach of cash poor but idea-rich people. Just imagine what the cash rich can do with it??? And, YES�That is Revolutionary!!! Helping the Industry discover the benefits of Open Source Technology Linux and the Open Source Movement have been developing rapidly in recent years and are now seen as serious competitors. There are millions of user/s world-wide. Some of most successful and robust software on the web today has been developed under this license. IBM and Oracle are now among the 'big names' supporting Linux and have released Linux versions of their database server products. A high-powered lab has been set up to encourage open source development and research. Among the sponsors are Dell, Fujitsu, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Intel, NEC, Mitsubishi, Red Hat and SGI. The Indian government, too, in connivance with the President of India is promoting usage of Open Source software as the "platform of choice". The Department of Information Technology has already devised a strategy to introduce Linux and open source software as a de-facto standard in academic institutions, especially in engineering colleges. Research establishments have also been advised to use and develop re-distributable toolboxes just as Central government departments and state governments has been asked to use Linux-based offerings.

Clamav is as good as others in catching virus. Problem is that it only detects, does not clean. Also, it is supposed to be good with new virus. But never used in production environment. Only on test server. Clamav also has a paid product which has cleaning ability. Regards saswata > >HTH, > >Krishnan > > > >-- >http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers

Upgrade Novell 4.11 to Samba 3.0.7 wisdom needed
by komal 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

Has anybody done such a thing as this? I'm looking to make this transition as smooth as possible. I have the new fileserver up and running, and I'm using rsync to keep the Novell data current on the Samba server. Any words of advice on transferring the users and groups and permissions over to the new server in the least painful way possible? I have some idea that Novell uses LDAP so that I should be able do it somehow. I don't want to screw this upgrade up, and any help would be appreciated. I am hoping someone has already done it before and has written a Howto or something about it. Thanks, Komal PS My version of Novell is 3.11 and 4.11
