ipv4.ip_forward statistics
by Zainul M Charbiwala 19 May '05

19 May '05

Hello, I'm using my box as a gateway for my internal network using net.ipv4.ip_forward. I don't NAT so I don't use iptables. Is there a way that I can derive statistics about the number of connections going through the gateway? Specifically, which IP addresses are sending packets, size of packets, etc. Thanks, Zainul.

Actually you will have to compare prices with a similar speced machine from whoever. You will be able to determine how much more you are paying for "CompleteCover". And by the way Dell is manufactured in China. In fact you will find it nearly impossible to get a piece of electronic equipment from any place other than China. Which means that they produce quality goods too. Most OEM factories produce stuff and sort them into a, b and c categories, a for the big brands (IBM, Sony, Matsuchita), b for their own brands (sold mostly in US, eur and gulf) and c for the importers from India and other third world countries. There is also a d category - junk - for consumables (batteries, pencils, inks, etc). We have a lot to learn about "cheap", which is mostly about efficiency and a little about cutting the right corners. You will find cheap laptop clones of IBM, Dell, Compaq etc. The price difference is a good 40 ~ 50% on the base models. If you buy the upgrades (harddisk, Wlan etc) from lamington road the difference grows by another 15%. Not to mention the fact that you are no more dependent on Dell / IBM. You are ofcourse taking a chance on the warranty. I am no fan of the Chinese - I continually pressured to readjust my bussiness to maintain margins and keep my customers happy. But that is life outside of Paradise. rgds jtd

Hi I finally installed Debian Sarge(DVD) build date 26/4/05. After the initial configs and reading the CD I was presented with GDM login screen to my surprise the screen appeared very grainy just like what appears when one logins in safe mode in windoze. Why is this happening? Is any package missing to be installed Thanks Ninad

Ah the chinese are subtle - at first. Very often silence follows after u have taken a stab at them. But the next round is a missile. U will notice this in their dealings with the Americans. Remember the Chinese-killing-India rhetoric last year. Initially there were a couple of press releases stating the figures on rice and shrimp import from India. As usual the AH's who run this country did not understand. The next round was proposed chinese sanctions on Indian exports to china, which dwarf Indian imports by an order of magnitude. The indian ministers quietly shut their mouths. End of great Indo-Chinese trade war. > > Actually, the Chinese (Confucius, as he is called in English) > invented the civil servant, but it took Indians to raise that > personage to the heights of misrule and uncivility. Even ;-) > Sherlock can't begin to compete. Of course, s/he may be one, and if > so, I rest my case. No such luck. You can either be civil or a servant. I am not a servant so I might just make to the ranks of civility. And i am not employed by the government - a very good qualification imo. > Unlikely, of course, as s/he does not lack for knowledge or > willingness to help, (Big self glorification para) My knowledge (restricted to hardware only) has steadily deteriorated after the 486 era. I did have detailed knowledge of many of the chipset schematics and registers and designed a couple of 286/386 mobos including the external glue logic and a large number of addon cards for the isa bus. The glue logic was quite substantial inspite of the chipsets. > if not actually suffer fools or children. Actually the irritation is that most posters do not make the slightest attempt to exercise their fingers on google, let alone their brains before posting. Which is so much against the libre software philosophy of making you independent and productive permanently. We should have an initiation ceremony for new members. At every meet they will sit around a burning windows cd and the list admin will deliver a homily on list ettiquitte and FSF philosophy. They will then intone the homily thrice. The smoke from the cd should drive away all but the most determined. rgds jtd

Infact they will always offer u the best that they have and will show u the worst only after u have revealed your inner cheapskateness. U will love to see the chinese squirming as u notice all the flaws. Everybody in the country is to blame, not just the importer. While other nations have passed thru this phase we seem to be stuck with a lazy, laid back attitude for the past 1000 yrs. We seem to be in such awe of our historical achievements that we dismiss every other nations achievements. The cheap chinese is one such. Right now we are trumpeting ourselves as a great software powerhouse. In reality we are only leveraging our english speaking capability.

[Fwd: Belgian Gentoo-Linux Project in Mumbai]
by Dinesh Shah 17 May '05

17 May '05

Hi All, This is an invitation received from Mr. Johan, Thank you Mr. Johan and Team for doing a great work here in India. Though he has given the time but not given any day/date, may be any day/date few people can visit them, possibly from Monday to Friday. I will try my best, if I can make it. With regards, -----Forwarded Message----- From: Johan Van Lon <de_oppergod(a)hotmail.com> To: linuxers-owner(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in Subject: Belgian Gentoo-Linux Project in Mumbai Date: 17 May 2005 16:10:50 +0000 Dear, -This mail can be sent as an invitation on your mailing-list if you like. we would like to have somebody from every LUG in Mumbai to join us for a tour of our project.... You yourselves are off course also invited. Dear, Allow me to introduce a Linux-project that has been going on for almost 3 months now, right here in Mumbai. We think that you and your organisation might be quite intrested. Almost 2 years ago now, me (Johan Van Loon) and Jan Van Steenkiste got the assignment to find a good firm in Belgium to complete our internship, in one of my previous schools I had done an internship as wel and I hadn't really learned anything in that time, afraid of a repitition of the events, I decided to find an alternative internship. We told our idea to Elise Daans and she thought it was a good idea as well, so we went to the school to see if it would be possible to complete this project. We got a green light and started planning right away, very soon it became very clear that 3 persons would not be enough, so we invited Joeri Balcaen and Tim Bastiaensens to join us, a marvelous decision it turned out to be. The next year we organised a bunch of money-collecting actions and tried desperately to get the attention of the press... The PC's started dripping in... In the end we collected enough money for the transport, but not for our tickets, nor for our stay here. So we decided to finance our tickets and our stay here ourselves. Just in time we recieved a huge donation of screens and PC's and from that moment on good luck shone upon us, we got a couple of very large donations that turned out to be very nessescary here in India since the customs charged us a huge amount of import-taxes on our OWN PC's. We arrived in India and were very nicely welcomed by the school who had provided a very nice appartement for us and a huge classroom. At the moment we have about 30 PC's working in the classroom and the classes are going very fine. We have thought our students the history of PC's, basic PC knowledge about hardware and everything. Further we thought them the basic use of the CLI in Gentoo Linux, now we are teaching them xHTML and we will leave behind a course-book about openOffice.org . We know this is a little short-notice but we would like to invite 2 representatives of your organisation to come and pay a visit to our classroom. We are looking for some people that are apt at using Gentoo-linux, or just linux in general who would like to give up a little of their spare time to keep the network up and running after we have gone... Therefor we would like to invite you to come visit us around 19.00h in our school "Joseph Cardijn Technical School" at Parel. Khashaba Jadhav Marg, Off Dr. Ambedkar Road, Dadar, Mumbai-400014. If you are coming by train, "Elphiston road" station and "Parel" station are the closest, "Dadar" is about 20 minute walk. If you are coming by taxi, ask them to bring you to the back of "Tata Memorial Hospital" in Parel, there ask for the "Mahindra Milestone Workshop" the school is working together with that workshop, and if you arrive their, just ask for the people from "Belgium". Kind regards, Johan - Jan - Tim - Elise - Joeri Allready since my youth, India has attracted me, largly due to my aunt and uncle who were real adventurers and allways spoke very highly of the beauty of India and about the generousity of the people here. So I decided to organise and internship that could help those great people of this great nation. The decision was not hard, the idea i got was going to India to teach the usage of PC's for free and as I talked it over with Jan, we decided to go the whole way, we were going to collect all the necesary PC's and materials ourselves and donate a complete computer-classroom to a school in India. -- --Dinesh Shah :-) <Dinesh(a)ShahMicro.com> Shah Micro System +91-98213-11906
