The only tragic part was that you HAD to run it as root AARG !!! A pity the authors never bothered studying SUID, SGID and the concept of running a service as a user with a /bin/false shell. They even created a very badly written init script ;-) On windows i m able to use internet You have my utmost sympathies :-) but i want to use on Linux.The local > cable operator has denied any support on Linux.So anybody in the list can > guide me plz for the same. When i had used Sify, they generally pointed me to go to a local page on their network where you could download their client for Win, GNU/Linux and even Mac OS X.

Do they (edu institutions / Affiliated Colleges) need to? Don't they get software cheaper (a little less cost). Rather, don't universities atleast get it cheaper than corporates? -- http://sankoobaba.blogspot.com __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

GLUG-BOM Listing at Linux.org
by Roshan 14 Dec '06

14 Dec '06

http://www.linux.org/groups/india/1940_GNU_Linux_Users_Group_of_Mumbai.html The above page doesn't seem to be updated with the meeting frequency and other few details, that appear on choosing to edit. Some experienced (Admins / Members > atleast 3 years) of subscription with this list can edit that information and update it. Why not I? (You ask). I am not sure of all the details. Therefore, I would request some senior member of this list to update. BTW, while writing this email, I was trying to access, http://www.glug-bom.org, I encountered 502 Bad Gateway error. Why does this happen? -- http://sankoobaba.blogspot.com __________________________________________________________ Yahoo! India Answers: Share what you know.

Dec. GLUG-meet minutes (Thanks to Kumar)
by Roshan 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hello, My computer, apparently, seems to behave weird only when I need it most. Hmm... Anyways, the problem doesn't seem to exist currently (1 and half days). Fortunately, Kumar had the time and the interest to contribute to the wiki regarding the Dec-GLUG meet and therefore a "THANKS a LOT!" Kumar. I have copied his report plainly and made no changes at all. Not even to his ending quote, purposely. You can read this and find out what you missed out ;) http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/10Dec2006 -- http://sankoobaba.blogspot.com __________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
