Book available ?

I was suggested to read Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffery Friedl. I am told it is _the_ book to read for regex. When I enquired w/ my bookwalla, he told me that he was told it would have o be oredered from abroad and would cost ~ Rs. 1300/-. And no, I don't think he is trying to rip me off. It's also not available at the roadside booksellers at Fountain. Does anyone have this book with him ?

If any of you plan on using the latest yahoo messenger for linux, be warned that it adds itself to your .xinitrc file - even if you tell it not to run on startup. After this, X will not start again. You will have to delete the entry from your .xinitrc file first. -- Mulder: Modell psyched the guy out. He put the whammy on him. Scully: Please explain to me the scientific nature of the 'whammy'.

Re: Birthday attack against MD5
by Vinay Pai 04 Apr '02

04 Apr '02

> What about a birthday attack? a birthday attack seems to work against MD5 Doesn't help. A birthday attack means you can find two messages with the same hash (i.e. a collision). It doesn't enable you to find a second message with a particular hash value. To sum it up 1. To finda particular hash: Given H(m1) find m2 such that H(m2)=H(m1) If H is a cryptographic hashing function with n-bits this requires 2^n operations 2. To find a collision (birthday attack) Find m1 and m2 such that H(m1) = H(m2) This takes 2^(n/2) operations Thus for a birthday attack to be successful, you need control over BOTH the hashes. Thus it can be used to attack a digital signature scheme by producing a good message and a malicious message with the same hash (and thus same signature). It can't be used to recover passwords. Anyhow, even a birthday attack takes 213 days for our fantastic trillion-MD5-ops-per-second machine... definately doable by the NSA, CIA, KGB or something... but still not of much concern to most. A birthday attack is fairly easy to defeat in a digital signature scheme, plus if you're really paranoid you can use the 160-bit SHA algorithm instead.

Inserting ide-scsi module to use with /dev/hdc

Hi For using a CD writer the parameter "hdc=ide-scsi" has to be passed to the kernel while booting (assuming the CD writer is /dev/hdc). This works fine. But having booted without that parameter passed to kernel, how do I insert the module 'ide-scsi.o' and tell the kernel to use it for /dev/hdc without rebooting again? Well, "insmod" inserts the module, but *how do I tell the kernel to use it for "/dev/hdc" ?* Abhir -- The only comment I can make is - There is nothing on which I can comment Then why am I writing this mail?

Indianising Linux: NOT transliteration
by jitendra 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

(Mr Kalyankar : this is for your info.) No I am not talking about transliteration. I am talking about localisation of internationaised packages/applications on Linux platform This involves extracting strings from C programs , marking the strings in the progranms for such translation and replacement and carryout translation of strings and manage catalogs and files for versions, setting up parameters for 'lacale' so that programs can on the fly chose the language (script, font, editing, input methods etc). there are some tools like glade to produce appllications(c-codes etc) gettext for extracting strings for translations, kbabel for managing the catalogs and translations etc and font generators for developing fonts and emacs for smartly editing files (called .po, .pot, .pox) and other tools . I need expertise in any of the above tools and cooperation in carrying out wide training for people with or without much technical skills. I also need editors (how to edit the translations ) so that work can be done on windows platform as also on gnu/linux and yet be future-proof as standards are changing. Jitendra

indianising Linux : web site

We are a group of students and teachers in engg college and want to work towrda indianising gnu/Linux. We aim at doing whatevr it takes to do it. We have no great expertise but are seeking some. We would like to set up a site for the availble resources and strt identifying small tasks and get them to be done. We would like to keep track of status and progress as is done by gnu project on translations for across the world. I do not find mention of indian languages on the gnu site which is a sad (if not shameful) fact. This is the time for all those who want to join to come up with help. All kind of help. We would like to meet some time. We have a coordinator , the undersigned . Can ilug host (give web-space) such a site or has one already? We aim at NOT restricting to geeks and only technical work but also get the translations of important packages and involve general public . We need to answer a few technical questions though. 1> so long as many people have only windows (MS!) they may have to use their software for editing files in indian languages. What standard(UNICODE, ISCII, ISO?) should be followed and using which free software to create strings , .po files, .pot files. yudit, sbabel or what? Are these available in windows with devnagari.Even if this is not perfect can we ensure that the same may be convertible and improved. Or is it necessary for us to wait for miracle of perfect solution and availability of linux all around. 2> what programs would be needed to partially automate the translations. Many are floating around. Can some geek take up the challenge and give a comparative picture for us to use. Also give a small tutorial.? 3> We want to start with marathi. The lessons and tools will be useful for all other languages. Who are the others in this field. Jitendra Jitendra

I have been to some ILUG meetings in Mumbai. Its a pity I couldn't all of them, I study at Nagpur. Why don't we do something about the ILUG site. Most of the links point nowhere. A bunch of motivated linuxers can't hammer up a good site? Maybe, we should all work towards that direction. Again, most of the time we talk about configuring this, installing that using this etcetra. But how may of us really take development seriously. We frown at lack of documentation, but how many of us give a hought about actually sitting down there and writing docs. How many of us develop or say even contribute? I don't know, though I joined the list only today, I strongly feel about what I am saying here. And it's high time we all did something about it. With best wishes, Amol Hatwar.

linux on a P4
by abhijeetmore＠rolta.net 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

Hi, I just installed linux on our college P4. Red Hat 7.0. It was the first time I asked it to install 'everything'. On booting I found three images - linux, linux-smp, linux-up. I guess smp is self explained. But when I booted into the image called 'linux', it wouldn't probe the Hard disk IRQ correctly.It said: hda: IRQ probe failed .... Now when I booted into the image called 'linux-up' it did so without any errors. My initial guess at an explanation is that the kernels are processor specific. 'linux' is probably for generic 386s and 'linux-up' worked because it was for higher processors. In other words I suspect that the IRQ allotments in the two cases are different. Could somebody pl. confirm this or suggest an alternative explanation? Oh, and BTW I had asked for kernel 2.4 and 2.2 on a cd a few days ago. I've got them now. Anybody else requiring the same can get in touch with me. ciao abhijeet

Debug for Linux?
by Nikhil Joshi 27 Mar '02

27 Mar '02

Hi! I'm studying 8086 in Microprocessor II Usually we write simple programs using MS-Dos's debug "command" Is there a parallel Linux utility ? Also are there any assemblers like MASM TASM ? I would also like to clear some doubts: 1. In DOS we use interrupts like int 20,int 21 etc.. which perform certain tasks. Are these interrupts apllicable to Linux also? 2.In Assembly since we deal directly with CPU isn't it a security risk? (I have come across some debug routines which clear CMOS , destroy the hard disk partitions... !) 3.Why there r so many books written for Assembly Programming which are specific to Dos based Assemblers and debug? Is Unix implementation for Assembly Programming difficult ? Please enlighten. -- "I don't know which is worse, ...that everyone has his price, or that the price is always so low." -Calvin

Hi ppl, does anyone from this mailing list also subscribe to linux-india.org mailing list or knows anyone who maintains the site. Then you can help correct the following problem.

Hello could you please help?
by George Ho 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Dear Sir, I saw you posting in the message board, and would like to ask for your help. I am using redhat 7.l and ASUS P4S333 motherboard, which has a LAN card on board. I just can't successfully "insmod". Everytime when I "insmod sis900", it just said "No such device" I think for RedHat 7.1, the kernel is new enough not to compile the sis driver into itself, right? Therefore, what can I do now? Could you give me some hints? Thanks! George __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 25 Mar 2002 20:15:58 From: vinayak hegde <vinayak_hegde(a)hotmail.com> Let me introduce myself first. I am Vinayak V Hegde. I am currently studying in Final year computer engineering in parshvanath CoE,Thane. I got your email id from linuxusers mailing list @ ilug-bombay. I have just joined the list. It seems i have missed a lot from not being there on the list. I would be very grate ful if you could help me with the following issues. We have setup a linux diskless lab in our college consisting of 150 diskless terminals (with remote booting ) and 2 servers.( we did in around 2 months including the cabling and the physical connections. It took lots of trial and error to set it up). We are facing some problems getting a suitable 8086 emulator for linux (I tried pcemu but could not <make> it without errors). Also there are problems in procuring a cobol compiler. (we are using a tinycobol compiler currently but it is not good enough as it does not support all the features of the lang). Could you help us in this regard?

Why is Unix still used?
by Nikhil Joshi 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

What is the purpose of using Unix in todays scenario when we have Linux? AFAIK UNIX is great in SMP (100s of processors if I'm not wrong) but Linux lags behind by a long way (8-10 processors AFAIK). Is this the only reason or there r many more? _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

Proposal for a Meet on 6th Jan
by Nagarjuna G. 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

I am proposing a meet on 6th Jan, and also proposing an agenda (if Sameer agrees to it): Using SGML to generate Documents, and converting SGML/XML to other popular formats like, ps, rtf, pdf etc. I have been using LaTeX for this task and highly satisfied, and would also love to learn the SGML tools to do the same. It is necessary that the hackers on the list should learn the power of these time tested tools, and should be introduced to them sooner than later. Should we decide Sameer! on your introduction/tutorial to structured documentation using SGML?

Richard Stallman: Free Software and India
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 21 Mar '02

21 Mar '02

Hi guys! So finally here's the "official" notification for RMS' talk in IITB. Most of you already know about his visit to Mumbai, and I guess there is no real need to introduce RMS to you :-) Please do come for the lecture. Date: Saturday, 23rd March 2002 Time: 4pm onwards Venue: Convocation Hall For directions for getting to IITB and to the convocation hall, please refer to this resource on the IITB website: http://www.iitb.ac.in/campus/howto/howtoget.html Here's an article that had recently figured in the Financial Express. Free software Guru -- Richard Stallman -- on India mission March 14, 2002 While the concept of using free software for back-end requirements is catching on, the desktop is yet to be liberated from the hold of the largest proprietary operating system (OS) corporations. So, as the free software movement guru Richard M Stallman sets out to spread the wings of the Free Software Foundation in India, helping build applications for the desktop that will reach the common man a daunting agenda lies ahead. Besides gearing up to popularise free software, both at the back end and especially the desktop, empowering developers to make applications ubiquitous, working with state governments to promote free software use in e-governance and using it as an effective tool to work towards bridging the digital divide is the core of Stallman's India agenda. 'Apprenticeship by tinkering' is clearly set to be the name of the game. Richard Stallman is the man behind GNU/Linux (GNU developed by Stallman and a Linux kernel developed by Linus Torwalds) open source operating system, which is believed to have more than 17 million installations worldwide. Interestingly, Stallman says, 'free' software is not about the price (and says companies are free to charge a sum to offer the operating system and services to users), but is all about the freedom and openness of use. The Free Software Foundation itself makes most of its revenues by selling copies of the software and training manuals while some funds come in by way of donations. The foundation is also looking at a business model where it will function as the certifying agency and will certify compliance of free software users with the licensing rules. "Countries can avoid paying gigantic amounts of money towards licensing of proprietary software. Specific to India, free software can be used to support computer science education at all levels. This also allows for anyone to use and learn," he said. Interestingly, the free software movement with GNU/Linux has already made inroads in India. To cite examples the Andhra Pradesh government is already set to execute projects on the free OS, while the well-known Simputer Trust has showcased this OS in its low-cost computing appliance - Simputer and some of the new technology start-ups like CDC Linux are already developing high-end clustering and parallel supercomputing solutions on the GNU/Linux operating system.

At what time the meeting is there & where in IIT premises. Rgds girish If any ILUG-BOM members are interested , they may join a meeting on Saturday at IIT where some are meeting. This is in response to an appeal made in ArthVrittant article on Stallman, by Anil Shaligram on 18 March issue of Loksatta. Some of the ideas that came up while thinking about Marathi Linux There are 3 levels of work in Marathi-isation 1> Applications like office software: Free softwares like a>StarOffice , which are quite a good substitute for MS-Office and available in Linux : b> GIS softwares like GRASS or MYWorld useful for urgent problms like water and environment c> educational softwares Like LOGO, STARLOGO, Model-It, Worldwatcher, DrGenius We need to translate the labels and messages and documentations and tutorials, multi-lingual CDs with multimedia. 2>Creating application in Marathi: Using gtk, glade emacs etc. 3> Working at the OS level : Creating labels/message table in marathi. NCST has already done a large part for Hindi, some in Marathi too. We also need to create mass awereness thru newspaper article in all the press. We should ask our local cybercafe to have marathi software loaded. AKRUTI have agrred to support anyone helping. Similarly other Marathi and Indian language developers can be asked to make offers. This would make the idea of working in Indian language a day-to-day affair without too much cost. jitendra For details contact jitendras(a)vsnl.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

unresolved symbols in shared library
by kshitijv 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

Hi Friends, I am creating a shared library using gcc for interfacing with SAP. This library uses functions from 3 static libraries. Out of these 3 static libraries one is provided by SAP and contains all the APIs required for communication with any third party software. I am linking these static libraries with the shared one by following command. gcc -o "shared lib" "obj of lib created using -fPIC" -l"staticlib1" -l"staticlib2" -l"staticlib3" I can't mention the lib names. I am able to create the library, but it contains unresolved symbols for the functions defined in the static libraries. One thing to note is all these symbols are either global or inline functions. But all of them have valid definitions in the corresponding static libraries. (globals in SAP provided lib, and others in our libs) I think the linking sequence for gcc is from right to left. But when I try to link the SAP provided library after the other two, ld terminates with segmentation fault. Changing the order of other 2 libs doesn't give problems. The only SAP library gives trouble. I am not able to find any solution to this problem. Can anybody help me? It will be nice if I could get more info about linker sequence, creation of symbol tables, etc. regards, -Kshitij. kshitijv e-mail: kshitijv(a)forindia.com

lug search engine
by Philip S Tellis 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

the lug search engine has been spruced up a bit. it now supports stop words and synonyms. this should help get better search results, but for now, I need to collect data on the kind of searches that people carry out. basically, i need you'll to use the search as you normally would. search for real topics. ciao, philip -- "We shall reach greater and greater platitudes of achievement." -- Richard J.

search in action
by Philip S Tellis 19 Mar '02

19 Mar '02

if you want to see the synonyms in action, search for something like linux localisation and look at the references in the results page. that's currently there for debugging, i'll remove it in a couple of weeks (unless you'll like seeing it there :) -- Nothing ever becomes real until it is experienced. - John Keats

FS permissions for CGI files
by Satya 18 Mar '02

18 Mar '02

Here's the situation: I have a Perl CGI script which references a file. The second file contains a password. The password is required to access the database which is used by the CGI application I'm writing. Now the Perl CGI file definitely has to be readable and executable by the webserver. What about the file with the password? It should also be readable by the webserver daemon. Problem is that anyone else whose scripts run on the same server can simply cat the file using their own CGI scripts and se ethe passwords etc. So how is this fixed? -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> Cap'n! Cap'n! the UART's will'nae take the speed!
