/etc/passwd
by Priyam Chatterjee 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

I have not yet found the answer to this question, hence asking it here. The /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files have read-only permissions for users (/etc/shadow is read-only for root too!). Still using the passwd command users are able to change their passwords (which means changing the corresponding entries in /etc/shadow). I understand that both these files are not accessed directly by the commands but by some API's (google gives this much info !!)... so as far as I understand, the API must be running with SU perms.... but still users are able to change only their own passwds (and not others)... can someone explain exactly what goes on.....? maybe shed some more light on this... :) Thanks in anticipation, Priyam. -=-=- ...

Mr. Vishal Kulkarni & Mr. Anand Santhanam, IBM Linux group, IBM Global Services For more details go through the forwarded message, and the website: http://www.ee.iitb.ac.in/eesa/aagomani/index1.htm Fees: Rs 300/- for students and Rs 500/- for preofessionals. Which includes meals and a bag containing various documentations and software compilation CD. Please forward this message to your friends who might be interested in the same. Thanks. From: Mohit Garg <mohit(a)ee.iitb.ac.in> Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2004 01:00:34 +0530 (IST) Subject: Aagomani 2004 Namaskar! A two-day workshop (23rd and 24th of October) on Embedded Systems and DSP is being organised by EESA, IIT Bombay. It includes lectures on advanced concepts in Embedded Systems like: * Basics of Microcontrollers (uC) and DSPs * Texas Instruments OMAP Platform (DSP + uP in one chip) * Real Time Operating Systems * Software Vs. Hardware Trade-Offs * System Partitioning We have speakers from Texas Instruments, IBM, CMC and professors from the institute. In addition, we have tutorial sessions wherein speakers from the industry will discuss the design cycles of popular consumer products.

Placing an embedded microprocessor system into a product makes the product 'smart'. It can then be programmed to do things that are too difficult or expensive using conventional technologies. Products can be programmed to do self-diagnostic checks and to report back to the manufacturer. This opens up possibilities for improved customer services enabling firms to compete on product and service innovation that would be largely impossible without this technology. This is what makes them indispensable and shall make them even more so in the near future. -- Amit Upadhyay +9820-859-701

Trevor, the gripe yatayati has is not what you are addressing. If I had been treated that way by redhat, I would have boycotted them for life and would make all out efforts to have them kicked out of all my client sites. I work with microsoft who are the most commercial of all companies, also holds many senimars which we attend. Believe me, they will never do something like this. Neither do oracle or ibm whose seminars we attend. Every company gives high values, respect and respect to consultants and advisors because clients will not iuse their products if not recommended by the consultants. I do not know who else they turned back that day, but it will cost them dearly.

Some observations for the deeply hurt, newbies etc. First using GNU/Linux does not confer on u some heaven sent halo. U & I are going to be treated based solely on our reputations (bussiness, academic, social or otherwise) by bussiness organistaions. Infact using GNU/Linux will put u under great stress while dealing with various bussinesses because the people answering u have been honed into perfect zombies (my personal favourite is Orange). Second all bussinesses exist to fatten the owners, managers and employees (weightage keeps shifting from time to time). All the other drivel that they spew is towards meeting this goal.If the managers are cunning they will manipulate things to get minimum flack and generally stay below the horizon of vociferous fringe groups shouting nonsense like freedom and morals and what have u. Redhat, Novell, IBM,M$, Oracle, Intel, U, I etc. are all fighting the same battle using different weapons and strategies. U & I are distractions in the battle of the big boyz for the booty. Thirdly promoting GNU/Linux to the masses is at best a utopian pass time.The current set of GNU/Linux (5% of computer users) constitutes the top 1% of tech savvy (intelligent?) homosapiens. That is sufficient because it is this miniscule minority which always determines which way society will move in the long term - inspite of whatever M$ can throw. One must be clear in accepting the FSF philosophy which is about freedom (or changing the ground rules) and the opensource philosophy which is about bussiness (or battle strategy). Longterm social goals aimed at empowering individuals is anthema to any bussiness. Dealing with unpredictable imdividuals does not allow zombification of products and processes, which translates to high costs and withering margins to organistions, which reduces the need for large bussiness organisation. A simple case in point. The neighbourhood tailor. He stitches a shirt which fits you well in a colour u like and with buttons that dont fall off when u sneeze at a very reasonable price. And the van heusen, peter london, Raymond or xyz brand - a few sizes, a few colors, and tons of mind bending ads - god what a incomplete AH u r if u did not wear that complete man outfit guaranteed to blow a tunnel thru ur pocket all the way to ur future bank vault. Or the pepsi, coke, caffiene-cocaine-pesticide laced water. What's wrong with nimbu pani? But then i suppose it's just me not being a zombie. jtd

[OT] Space Tourism Idea
by Rony Bill 02 Oct '04

02 Oct '04

Hello Luggers, Space tourism is now a possible reality with the successfull flight of a private space craft. Many years ago I observed the spinning wheel in the starting video of the TV serial 'Mahabharata'. That gave me an idea of creating artificial gravity in space for the convenience of space travellers. Imagine a spinning wheel having a thick hollow circumference. This hollow circumference will be the rooms of the space building. The actual circumference wall will be the floor of the rooms which will be interconnected in a round circle. As the wheel spins, it creates centrifugal force and this force pushes the people and material against the outer wall (floor). This is artificial gravity. As I don't know the calculations, I am not in a position to know the practical maximum diameter as well as the rotation speed that can be possible in space. Even if we cannot get full gravity, a partial one will be very handy for tourists who may find the process of using the toilet under zero gravity conditions awkward and revolting. This will also keep the body in earth like familiar conditions for longer stay in space. The centering balance of the wheel can be done by having pumps that will pump liquid mercury into hollow chambers all along the circumference, according to the weight imbalance, in a sensing similar to car wheel balancing. Mercury is the heaviest liquid and will occupy minimum volume. The Indian hotel industry should come together to create hotels and recreation centres in space before others get into the race. We will need hotels, cinema halls, reception halls (for space marriages and birthday bashes), gyms, and other sight seeing sites for space tourists. The big guns should get into the act with ISRO. Regards, Rony.

Video card(3-D Support not working)

Hi, I have a MSI KM400 motherboard with a VIA KM400 on borad display adapter. The problem is that I can not get the 3-D support working on it. Also the video quality is poor (It is giving me 1024x768 at 16bit). I have googled, been to lot of mailing lists.. all in vain. Even the driver provided by via at http://viaarena.com does not help. I am currently using SuSE 9.1 Pro but have tried it on FC2 as well as Mandrake 10. Does any one else have the same config and has been able to get video working? Please help. TIA.

Using USB devices on Linux

Hi, Anybody aware of good tool (preferabaly GUI) for managing USB devices (Hot Plug/Unplug)? I am using PCQLinux 2004 which is based on Fedora 1. I am able to access my USB HDD and CD-ROM. But not sure how to gracefully unplug the device when un-mounting. It will be better if some kind of tool is available to do this and monitor the devices. I have gone through linux-usb guide but its geeky way. Any easy way for doing this? I think the existing drivers for USB controllers are doing well on my box. Only a front end is required. I thought of building some UI but am not familiar with Linux GUI programming and interfacing with hardware. -Kshitij Get Your Private, Free E-mail from Indiatimes at http://email.indiatimes.com Buy The Best In BOOKS at http://www.bestsellers.indiatimes.com Bid for for Air Tickets @ Re.1 on Air Sahara Flights.

It's been a long time since I've been into physics but still... -----Original Message----- From: linuxers-bounces(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in [mailto:linuxers-bounces@mm.ilug-bom.org.in]On Behalf Of Rony Bill Sent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 11:46 PM To: LUG-BOM Subject: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] Space Tourism Idea Hello Luggers, Space tourism is now a possible reality with the successfull flight of a private space craft. Many years ago I observed the spinning wheel in the starting video of the TV serial 'Mahabharata'. That gave me an idea of creating artificial gravity in space for the convenience of space travellers. Imagine a spinning wheel having a thick hollow circumference. This hollow circumference will be the rooms of the space building. The actual circumference wall will be the floor of the rooms which will be interconnected in a round circle. As the wheel spins, it creates centrifugal force and this force pushes the people and material against the outer wall (floor). This is artificial gravity. As I don't know the calculations, I am not in a position to know the practical maximum diameter as well as the rotation speed that can be possible in space. Even if we cannot get full gravity, a partial one will be very handy for tourists who may find the process of using the toilet under zero gravity conditions awkward and revolting. This will also keep the body in earth like familiar conditions for longer stay in space. The centering balance of the wheel can be done by having pumps that will pump liquid mercury into hollow chambers all along the circumference, according to the weight imbalance, in a sensing similar to car wheel balancing. Mercury is the heaviest liquid and will occupy minimum volume. The Indian hotel industry should come together to create hotels and recreation centres in space before others get into the race. We will need hotels, cinema halls, reception halls (for space marriages and birthday bashes), gyms, and other sight seeing sites for space tourists. The big guns should get into the act with ISRO.

Hello Luggers, Has anyone experienced any viruses in their java enabled GPRS mobile phones? My friend's nokia 6600 (GPRS is active) kept getting picture messages from unknown numbers and today suddenly the entire contacts list is gone blank. Any idea if this has happenned to others too? On rare occasions, it has even restarted on its own or shut down. All this has started after GPRS was enabled about 6 months ago. Regards, Rony.

Well, Looking for cures of cancer might be a good idea and a worthwhile endeavour. I mean why waste precious system resources to a project that was officially abandoned by the U.S. Government. Also, even i think its not useful. You might save some lives anyway by helping research on Cancer and other such things which might help the humanity more.

pppoe in Thane
by Rahul Jadhav 29 Sep '04

29 Sep '04

Hello People! I know this topic was raised here a couple of months ago, but since it didn't have enough information, I'd like to try again. NOTE: You don't really have to be using a debian machine to put in your ten cents (or in this case, ten paise, which sadly no one cares to even look at these days). Does anybody have any idea whatsoever, about this cable operator who went by the name of Sachinet in Thane. Well, if you do, you probably also know that they closed shop recently. The folks who took over, run a pppoe sever that I've had no luck getting connected to. I was trying to help a friend there set up a Debian Woody box from a netinst minimal cd. Since, I started off with setting up a win xp partition first, I could go in there and download the right package (a stable pppoe package from debian, snd yes it works from win xp). But, using it has been frustrating since the server sends back authentication error messages. By the way, this is my first time finishing a debian installation with a pppoe connection. I guess what I need from anyone out there is help identifying the kind of server these guys are running and possibly how to connect correctly to it (username format, etc). The ISP guy was clueless as well as ignorant and had a stock answer, "we don't support linux..." Rahul __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!

While SETI is possibly the most successful of the collaborative network projects (because it is the oldest - and I have run it myself for about 4 years, so I am very supportive), there are others of equal and possibly more immediate human value, including protein decoding and more, whose benefits do not need expanding.

what does it take...
by Rahul Jadhav 25 Sep '04

25 Sep '04

... to post in this mailing list, other than being a list member. I subscribed to the list recently (successfully) and tried to post a question yesterday. The server immediately replied back saying my email is waiting approval from list admins. Is this some kind of a security screening against spammers. I was hoping that the admins would atleast jump into action sooner than a couple of hours, but it appears I was wrong about it. tj __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

One single partition on 260 GB HDD?
by Rishi 24 Sep '04

24 Sep '04

Hi A customer of mine wanted to install a 260 GB IDE HDD on this GNU/Linux server... He wanted to know if it would work. I told him to check the motherboard manual to confirm if the BIOS would support it. The kernel version is 2.2 (RH9) using ext3 file system so I guess it should support a partition size of 2TB.... right? Anyone here on the list tried it as yet? Any tips / advise on what to watch out for before buying the disk? Regards Rishi

Request u to try it on ur systems
by Pankaj 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Hi all, I have Gentoo 2004.2 system . I have found a bug in the shutdown process(atleast it logically seems to be a bug).I request u all to try it on ur system to check whether it is distro specific or related to kernel so that i can file it in the specific list. Procedure that led to the bug: 1)Booted the gentoo system 2)Logged in as user(non-root) 3)issued startx to start kde3.2.2 4)Logged out of kde.It put me back on terminal prompt 5) executed "su" to become root 6) executed "init 0" to shutdown 7) Last message on terminal "Power down" . Now the next step was something very very unexpected 8) Pressed "Enter".It brought me to command prompt as root. 9)executing "ls" gave me a directory listing of the root directory 10) Executed "man man".This command did not execute. I don't understand how did the command prompt appear and how did the "ls" command got executed when I had shutdown my system.

(Monitor, Qmail) related problems.
by Bilal Ahmed Mazhar 23 Sep '04

23 Sep '04

Hi Please find two problems, any help will be appreciated. 1)----- If I don't touch any key or mouse for 10-15 minutes my Linux monitor's displays goes off and when I touch either of the device it comes again. I know its the facility to save unnecessary wastage of power. But I don't know how to disable it. 2)----- If Qmail is configured for gold.com as localdomain then any mail to ExistUser(a)gold.com is delivered to the user properly but NonExistUser(a)gold.com is bounced back immediately. How to forward NonExistUser's email to the gold.com existing on the internet. Second thing is when I fetch messages from gold.com to my local machine by fetchmail command it shows delivery to local users but messages don't appear in ./Maildir.

[ILUG-BOM] [commercial]Two Day Program on " Open Source - The Returns On The Emerging Technology" on 24th & 25th Sept. 2004
by pramila 23 Sep '04

Open Source � The Returns On The Emerging Technology A comprehensive insight on the path-breaking technology ON September 24 - 25, 2004 Timings: 9:30 AM � 5:00 PM Organised by Iducate Managers Intruduction The rapid pace in which the Linux and the Open Source Movement have been developing meteorically in the recent years is being watched upon very closely by the entire world. The Open Source movement is an extremely powerful model for software development and advancement, and emerging economies like India particularly have a lot to gain from adopting it. �In the information age, value is based not on scarcity but on familiarity" - This is the seed thought for the movement. Open Source technologies is a term used to define those technologies which is available to the public in source code form, and which does not have licensing restrictions Open Source software generally is distributed under a license that guarantees the right to read, modify, redistribute and use the software freely. Much of the open source software is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). Objective To understand the Open Source Technology and achieve clarity of thinking for making cost-effective information technology based decisions. A further take-home would be a freedom of choice on decisions of softwares, an insight into the value-added benefits of the Open Source Technology and best-practices for smooth migration. Open Source is doing what GOD, government and market have failed to do. It is putting powerful technology within the reach of cash poor but idea-rich people. Just imagine what the cash rich can do with it??? And, YES�That is Revolutionary!!! Helping the Industry discover the benefits of Open Source Technology Linux and the Open Source Movement have been developing rapidly in recent years and are now seen as serious competitors. There are millions of user/s world-wide. Some of most successful and robust software on the web today has been developed under this license. IBM and Oracle are now among the 'big names' supporting Linux and have released Linux versions of their database server products. A high-powered lab has been set up to encourage open source development and research. Among the sponsors are Dell, Fujitsu, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Hitachi, Intel, NEC, Mitsubishi, Red Hat and SGI. The Indian government, too, in connivance with the President of India is promoting usage of Open Source software as the "platform of choice". The Department of Information Technology has already devised a strategy to introduce Linux and open source software as a de-facto standard in academic institutions, especially in engineering colleges. Research establishments have also been advised to use and develop re-distributable toolboxes just as Central government departments and state governments has been asked to use Linux-based offerings.

Clamav is as good as others in catching virus. Problem is that it only detects, does not clean. Also, it is supposed to be good with new virus. But never used in production environment.
