Very particularly, if anyone has attempted the E level exam, I would like to know what reference material was used for it and if possible, can it be shared for sometime? It has basic two papers, General Aptitude and Computer Concepts as two papers to be attempted, and I would like to know if anyone could lend me the book that has been mentioned on their website. (anyone from gkp) If there are ny notes that could be shared, I wud be glad to receive 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!

Ubuntu 5.10 Live Report
by Rony Bill 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hello All, This month's LFY magazine has a Ubuntu 5.10 live CD that can be used as a live sample of the Ubuntu 5.10 OS. It installed and setup smoothly. The system was P4 2.4 GHz, Intel 845 GEBV2 MB, 256 MB RAM, 80 GB IDE HDD. The display drivers were much better than 5.04 and gave good screen resolution unlike 5.04's basic 640x480 resolution. Sound could not be tested as multimedia was not complete due to legal issues :-P . Due to the dhcp now working in linux too, the triband ADSL modem got the system on the net as soon as it was up. The firewall inside the modem took care of open ports in the live system. The wvdial.conf file from my other distros was simply copied and run. It ran smoothly for both, the dialup modem as well as the Reliance LSP350R. Only thing to remember is that all root based commands must be preceeded by the word 'sudo'. And after the first run of the triband internet, switch off the adsl modem and after any of the wvdial connections are up, run the 'sudo route add default ppp0' command for net access. The transcend 512 mb pen drive was detected flawlessly and a cute little icon was automatically created on the desktop. On the whole it was a very good experience and this distro came out in flying colours. It is definately worth a try. :) My only query is that if root access is not allowed for security, still anyone can simply sudo and gain access. How is the system protected from outside. If anyone can hack into the user account, can he then sudo and play ball? How secure is this sudo?

Vlan / IP routing on RHEL
by Shahed Moolji 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

Hi, I have a senario like below :- server1 eth0 10.1.1.9 eth0.5 10.1.1.10 (vlan 5) gateway 10.1.1.1 On 10.1.1.1, (the gateway) I have the following route 10.1.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 10.1.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth2 10.1.3.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 vlan5 Interfaces are eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:A0 inet addr:10.1.1.1 Bcast:10.1.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:48250711 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:44504353 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:2479942868 (2.3 GiB) TX bytes:2052597702 (1.9 GiB) Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe000 vlan5 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:A0 (same as eth1) inet addr:10.1.3.1 Bcast:10.1.3.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:245092 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:72378 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:49341672 (47.0 MiB) TX bytes:6273804 (5.9 MiB) Now, when I ping a device 10.1.3.128 from server 1, it forwards the packet to 10.1.1.1, but then it does not forward it out to the device. If however, I change the IP address of eth0.5 to 10.1.3.244, I can ping 10.1.3.128 (because now both are on the same subnet, and same vlan) I thought that even though the source (10.1.1.10) and destination IP (10.1.3.128) address are on different subnets, as both are on the same vlan, the gateway should be able to forward the packets. Can anyone please clarify ? Thanks Shahed.

Ubuntu - Bug Buddy
by Sanket Medhi 06 Dec '05

06 Dec '05

I tried to send a bug report using the Bug Buddy on Ubuntu. But it asks me for a sendmail path to send the mail to the developers. What should this path be? Also, when I saved this report as a file so that it could be sent later manually via mail, I realized that the size of that file is 4 MB!!! -- Regards, Sanket Medhi.
