by Philip S Tellis 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/MailingLists/displayMailingLists Gives a Site Error, as do many other pages on the site. I thought someone had fixed this last week. Philip -- I know you believe you understand what you think this fortune says, but I'm not sure you realize that what you are reading is not what it means.

Need Help
by Prashant Parab 07 Apr '03

07 Apr '03

Hi Group, We are using rsh command for file transfer between our two servers. We are using ssh protocol for rsh by using 'rsh -e ssh '. As we are not using certficates for ssh, the ssh daemon ask the password from the user before establishing the connection with the remote server. rsh don't have any facility to embed password in the command itself. The problem starts from here. As we want to automate the whole process we are planning to run the rsh command in the cron jobs. Now in the cron job we cannot enter the password. I think in the shell script i cannot supply the password in the situation like this. Will anybody kindly suggest me a way to overcome this problem, like using any other scripting language or something else. Thanx and regards, Prashant Parab

Re: list going to the dogs

Hi Geeks, This is my first mail to the ILUG, but I do follow mails exchanged. With due respect to all of the luggers who expressed their views on this thread, I would like to point out something from a newbies point of view. 1. Please understand that we are new to Linux. We want help from LInux gurus like you to help us. And there are many of us, feeling reluctant to ask questions, because we dont know if they will sound silly. 2. Please dont intimidate us with strict rules for sending a mail to LUG mailing list. Let us feel free to ask questions, even if it looks like trivial to geeks. We understand that your time is valuable. But we would like to request you to take some time out to sort out our issues. I understand it when you get irritated seeing a mail seeking job. But let us be happy that there are people out there looking for a job in Linux. We are growing. Let us not think that they are not upto our standards. They didnt get a chance to understand Linux earlier. 3. We will be sad if you start a new mailing list for linux gurus. We will feel left alone. I thought we want to make people aware of Linux and encourage them to use it. Not to create groups of geeks and newbies. Please dont discriminate. Try to help us solve our trivial issues. 4. I personally will agree to categories. Let us give it a try. There is no need to enforce it strictly. The views expressed here doesn't implicate that any of the esteemed lugger thought low about the newbies. -- Newbie __________________________________________________________ Get Your Electric Email at http://webmail.electricmela.com

[HUMOR] re netiquette warning of afterlife for wrong doers like spammers etc,
by Dinesh Bareja 05 Apr '03

05 Apr '03

Hi folks - we have been devoting a lot of our energies and bandwidth to newbies, geeks, top posting, spammers and whatever. I got this on another list I am subscribed to and I am sure you will find this a welcome change. Lets hope the wrong doers will be enlightened and will mend their ways once they read this !! And I marked the subject [HUMOR] to allow necessary *action* before or after reading this mail. Dinesh ------------- QUOTE ------------- A woman approached the Pearly Gates, and Saint Peter asked for her social security number. The woman told him, and Saint Peter typed on his workstation: pearly-gates:~/peter> grep 212-53-6432 /earth/human/status The computer responded: 212-53-6432 Cindy Smith cms(a)dragon.com!earth naughty pearly-gates:~/peter> Saint Peter then told her she was eternally damned, and that a minivan to hell would be arriving shortly. Cindy began to protest "but what did I do wrong? I loved my fellow neighbor as I loved myself, I was a kind, warm, gentle person! Surely there must be a mistake!" So, Saint Peter looked up on the files, and saw, lo and behold that she truly was a kind, warm, gentle person...until he saw the entry for jan 7, 1992-earth, which read: ***DAMNABLE VIOLATION #69*** Posted irrelevent article to newsgroup. After probing a little more, Saint Peter explained to the woman "It seems that on Janurary 7, 1992 you posted an article to Alt.religion.computers. This article gave no praise of Emacs, no snide remarks toward Microsoft, and not even a comment on the proper definition of 'hacker'! In fact, the article was not even relating to computers at all, and discussed, of all things, human religion! There wasn't even a reference to Bob or Discordianism, Zen, or the Tao of programming. Oh dear, this is terrible." "You see, heaven is a perfect place, and we only have room for the most perfect people. Ever since we ran the T-3 line up from New Jersey we've been particularly harsh on breakers of netettiquite. Didn't you read RFC-23654? The one proposing commandments 11 through 16?" He opened up an XTerm window and searched for some files. After a few moments, the laser printer spat out a crisp sheet of paper. It read: 11: Thou shalt not flame spelling or grammer. 12: Thou shalt not have a .sig file longer than 3 lines. 13: Thou shalt not send "All fags must die" messages to 19 random groups. 14: Thou shalt not request post a frequently asked question. 15: Thou shalt not post to a group without first reading a week's worth of posts, thereby avoiding irrelevent articles. 16: Thou shall not post administrative requests to the main list. When she was done, she began to stammer, but Saint Peter stopped her, saying "I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do. To register a complaint, you'll have to send mail to status-change-request(a)godvax.heaven.com. We have a group of cherubum who manage such requests. But don't send it to status-change(a)godvax.heaven.com, otherwise your request will be distribute to the whole mailing list. They *hate* that! In fact, there's some discussion about making that the 17th commandment..." At that point, a Dodge minivan drove up and came to a stop. Satan, in the form of an IBM salesperson, stepped out. "Welcome!", she said. "We've been waiting for you..." Cindy, almost in a trance, stepped into the minivan and was wisked away to the netherworld, a world of COBOL, System 36's, punch cards, incompatible network standards, and irresponsible news posters. Satan turned to Cindy, and smiled. "You'll like it here", she said, "We have netnews, but we've greatly simplified it. We have only one group, it's alt.talk.sci.comp.soc.rec.misc!" ------------- UNQUOTE ------------- Best wishes - Dinesh Bareja (M) +91 98203 90159 (T) +91 22 2878 9067 |---------------------------------------------------------------------| | ======== http://www.ideagrid.com ======= | | winning strategies ! simple ideas ! | | Open Source Products, Services & Training | |---------------------------------------------------------------------|

Promotions etc. for workshop at SAKEC
by Ashok Iyer 04 Apr '03

04 Apr '03

Hello all, How do we go about with the promotions for the workshop? Most of the audience would not be having a clue of what GNU is all about. If enough awareness is not created about the workshop, the students would not be interested. I hope you understand. The college management does not know much about this either and hence cannot be relied upon to create awareness. If you can give some pointers on how to go about creating awareness, it would be really helpful. Regards, Ashok Iyer
