Automated Encryption
by Sushant Gulati 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

hello everybody, I am experiencing a proble related to encryption. can u suggest some encryption method which if used with shell scripts, needs no user input and can be fully automated, eg. methods where user doesnt hav to type in the encrption keys. the key can be kept in a file and can be picked up from there. Currently, I use bcrypt, which prompts user to enter the encryption key and thus goes out of shell scripts control. I want to avoid this, by using a encryption tool which takes its encryption key in the command line. Warm regards, sushant __________________________________ Yahoo!

I for >one am infamous for hardware conflicts - nothing ever works out of the >box for me I too faced same problems. But then I got RHCE training from Red Hat India Pvt Ltd and since then my approach has been different Whenever I used to get a problem I would see log messages keep a couple of books and man pages open and could eventually solved the problems. This method stopped my frustation if not the time I took to solve a problem Mahesh Deshpande Tel 09322034838

Why logging as root in the GUI is avoidable
by Vinayakam Murugan 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hi Since this issue was being discussed within another thread, I tried to get more info on this. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO/xsecurity.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never, ever run X as root. The number of bad things that can happen, dramatically increases when logged in as root. Learn to run as much as possible as a regular user, and su to root only when needed. This may sound like a lot of extra work (and probably is at first), but once the "right"way of doing things is learned, it soon becomes second nature. A brief anecdote from a friend: he had a client who's new system stopped "working". Curiously, he found the entire /dev directory was missing, which he re-installed and all was well again. He was back a few days later and found the system logged in as root to X, and someone had clicked on /dev in the file manager, and dragged it onto the desktop. Smooth move! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is pretty good advice for a newbie. Atleast the geeks can figure their way out of a mess, if they need to. -- Warm Regards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vinayak http://theregoesanotherday.blogspot.com/

Driver for D-Link DSL 502T ADSL modem
by Roshan 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

Hi all, My semester exams have just ended today (Wednesday 16th Nov 2005). I have been accessing the internet for my stuff through windows for the past week and I require the driver for D-Link DSL 502T ADSL modem (yes, I have MTNL Triband) and the box of the modem came with a CD (but driver has been supplied only for Windows :-( ).... If anyone has managed to find a link or downloaded a driver from somewhere,please email it to me or direct me to that site. Also, do not ask me to google because I have tried searching but could not get it. _____________________________ www.geocities.com/d_rosh2001 If there's anything that you want to ask about related to computers and information technology email me at any of the following addresses 1) d_rosh2001(a)yahoo.co.in 2) dhanvirosh(a)rediffmail.com I think I should be able to help you --------------------------------- Enjoy this Diwali with Y!

Hi ppl, Was cool meeting some of you guys on Sunday n my earlier meeting with Monsieur Jon Masters (when he was down here),Erle and Derwyn...consequently me is on the LUG :) With regards the project I mentioned in my meet @ Barista,Bandra which aims at easing some of the pains associated with device drivers, I finally remembered where I heard of it. Jon Masters mentioned it when Erle,Derwyn and I met up with him, I wrote to him and got a reply telling me it's called DKMS and it's a Dell project....http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml The article on Linux Journal on the above project (link thru from the Dell site above) is also very informative. Adios ppl hope to meet you guys more often. Live long and prosper :) Jeetu aka topcat :)
