GPL related clarification sought
by Abhishek Daga 10 May '05

10 May '05

At this site: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Networking-Overview-HOWTO-2.html I came across this. Linux has been copyrighted under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). This is a license written by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) that is designed to prevent people from restricting the distribution of software. In brief, it says that although money can be charged for a copy, the person who received the copy can not be prevented from giving it away for free. It also means that the source code must be available. This is useful for programmers. Anybody can modify Linux and even distribute his/her modifications, provided that they keep the code under the same copyright. Questions a) Does that mean I can buy 1 copy of SuSe/Xandros/RHES/ and distribute it as many times as I want? b) Some Linux distros have the system of activation keys. Is that in violation of GPL terms? For Instance, if I am required to activate my Distro online then logically the same activation key will NOT work for the copies of the distro? Which therefore prevents me from giving it away for free? So is the original statement on that site itself interpreted incorrectly or I am reading it out of context? thanks! abhi Discover Yahoo!

Hello All, Is there any way to allocate a chunk of memory to a user? The user should be allocated a particular "range" in the memory when he logs in. Regards Vidyadutt.

MTNL TriBand - unable to browse under Linux
by Arun Khan 10 May '05

10 May '05

I have a multi boot system with Win XP, SuSE 9.2, Ubuntu 4.10, which is hooked up to the DLink 502T ADSL modem/router provided by MTNL (no wiring issues). WAN IP is dynamic, LAN IP is 192.168.1.1. DHCP server is enabled on the router to dish out IP numbers. When I boot to SuSE or Ubuntu, or Knoppix 3.6, I am unable to connect to sites on the Internet (POP3, SMTP, HTTP etc.) using Konqueror or Firefox. When I point my browser to mumbai.mtnl.net.in or mail.yahoo.com, the status bar says "Connecting to ...." and eventually times out. I am able to resolve DNS names (using MTNL's DNS servers). I am able to ping certain hosts in the MTNL network such as mumbai.mtnl.net.in, their gateway, etc. Firewall is disabled (iptables rules allow everything). The routing table also seems to be OK (see output below). However, when I boot the same system to Win XP. I am able to connect and browse sites on the 'Net. Another interesting point, when I connect the system to another ISP Iqara (similar setup as MTNL i.e. a cable modem/router with DHCP) I am able to browse sites under Linux as well as Win XP. Note: in both cases the system is getting it's network params from the router's DHCP server). >>>>>>>> For MTNL TriBand >>>>>>>> > route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 > cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.1.1 >>>>>>>> For Iqara.net >>>>>>>> > route -n Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 > cat /etc/resolv.conf search * nameserver 192.168.0.1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any thoughts/suggestions on what could be the problem?

Incase of graphics, 3d acceleration and mpeg decoding are in the closed drivers. They are usually freely downloadable. Also the latest Xorg progs have drivers for most nvdia cards.

Mostly the stupid hardware companies still cant figure out the frying pan and the fire. They will tap dance until burnt to a crispy while M$ sucks out the last cent. Good for the blokes who are selling hardware with GNU/Linux. Even IBM touts it's desktop with winxp. Reason it's not commercially viable (read actually say something useful when a user calls) for them to support new linux users on GNU/Linux. Most problems on a GNU destop is due to newbie ignorance.

You need to create a user account on you Linux OS for each user on the windoze PC. Then, you need to create a samba account for each username (smbpasswd). Once you do that, then you will be able to make a share selectively available to users. For example: I might suggest a means of automating this stuff by the following command at one go # cat /etc/passwd | /usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/samba/smbpasswd where mksmbpasswd.sh is a script to allocate each Linux user a samba password. rgds Sameer 'You will be what you WILL to Be' -James Allen

INDIA: Free Software, Free Society: Conference on Freedom in ComputingDevelopment and Culture
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 08 May '05

08 May '05

http://fsfs.hipatia.net/ Free Software, Free Society 28th -30th May, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. The Free Software, Free Society (FSFS) Conference, organized by Government and civil society organizations from Brazil, Italy, Venezuela and India, is scheduled for 28-30 May 2005 in the Southern Indian city of Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum), the capital of the province of Kerala. The Conference is primarily an attempt to initiate a South-South-North dialogue on the use of Free Software as a useful paradigm for non-software realms and its role as an instrument for development. In the process, the countries involved will share their perspective and experiences in using Free Software. Vision Over two-and-a-half decades, Free Software has inspired an alternative approach to creation, use and redistribution of software. The values of Free Software has been the inspiration for other kind of intellectual content as well, as illustrated, for example, by the Creative Commons initiative. Located at the intersection of Free Software, Development and Society, the FSFS Conference will examine the application of the Free Software model for the purpose of evolving more equitable development and information sharing models for humanity. In particular, the Conference will discuss the use of Free Software for addressing issues of technology access and the digital divide and also develop further the alternative paradigms for sharing intellectual content. Participation and Registration Apart from the Brazilian delegation (4 delegates), Venezuela (20 delegates) and the Italian delegation (3 delegates) about 40-50 delegates from various parts of India are also expected to attend the programme. In addition, delegates from South Asia (Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh) and from UN organizations are expected to attend the programme. A delegate fee of Rs. 1000 (for Indian citizens) or US$ 50 (for non-Indian delegates) is payable by delegates in order to cover the costs of the Conference. Delegate fee includes Conference kit, food during the conference, participation in sessions and cultural programmes. Delegate fee does not include travel or local accommodation. However, accommodation can be arranged by us on request on direct payment basis. A wide range of hotel rooms are available from budget (INR 500 / US$ 25) to luxury (INR 4500 / US$ 150). For students delegate fee will be Rs. 500. Click here for Online registration form.

I am not an actual newbie to GNU/linux, but definitely to this group. Whenever, I read the messages that I receive through the mailing list, I am shocked and cannot speak at all. What I find is mostly issues that are based and faced in larger companies with huge amount of network complexity and databases. I have not been posting regularly to this mailing list and I hope I will start posting messages or attempt replies to wherever I can ... Please suggest what else can I do the help people using GNU/Linux. Secondly, being a student, can I attend the meetings conducted in the group. Also, can I know which other students (studying in MUMBAI) have participated in this group? _____________________________ www.geocities.com/d_rosh2001 Yahoo!

SAMBA config
by Richard Chang 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hi All, I am using Samba to let my LINUX server to be accessed by my WINDOZE PC's. I have it configured to use share level config and use it as a Domain Controller. It works fine, but I would like it to automount the shares whenever a user logs in to the network. It is possible in a WINDOZE NT or 2000 setup by using login scripts. But is it possible to use it in LINUX environment i.e. by using SAMBA. Everytime I have to manually map it thru Net Neighbourhood or check the option of Auto Mapping so that it is available in the next login. It helps, but I want to control which user can access which share. The share available to the user shall appear mapped whenever he/she logs in. I think you all understand my point. If not, let me know. Any help is highly appreciated. regards, rc
