Regarding Rony's comment about slax
by Suhit Kelkar 28 Aug '09

28 Aug '09

Hi, This email is not very off-topic for this forum, hopefully. There was an interesting turn of phrase in Mr. Rony's email, the one in which he refers to Slax as a 'bomb' with a positive connotation. Now in American and British English, to bomb or to have bombed is a slang term for a flop. If you have noted any new/ potentially new phrases of slang in Indian English, but preferably those more directly related to F/OSS than the above hypothetical example, would you consider dropping me a line? With a large enough number of samples, a collaborative glossary of FOSS slang from India could be compiled and released under a Creative Commons/FreeDoc license. Please drop me an email about anything interesting. Collaborators and critics welcome. Just a thought. Suhit Kelkar.

Samba server
by Mukund Deshmukh 26 Aug '09

26 Aug '09

Hi, I have a samba server which is servicing window and linux machines. This server has /temp directory with 777 permission. This directory is used for file sharing among all users. This directory is shared in samba with file creation mask 755. When window machine writes to it, the file is correctly created as 755, but when linux machine writes to it the file is created as 700. This file can not be read by other users. What needs to be done for linux machine to write as 755? Thanks in advance for the suggestions. Warm Regards, Mukund Deshmukh, Beta Computronics Pvt Ltd, 10/1 IT Park, Parsodi, Nagpur -440022.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Privacy concerns

In light of JTD's concern regarding the potential for abuse of the UID being planned by the Government,I was browsing Wikipedia when I came across [1].According to Privacy International,we are an extensive surveillance society,but more due to lack of safeguards than real privacy violations,or so is the inference I took from the summary under the India heading on the page.
