/etc/passwd
by Priyam Chatterjee 08 Oct '04

08 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. -=-=- ...

[ILUG-BOM] [OT] Aagomani 2004: Embedded systems workshop at IITBombay (fwd)
by Amit Upadhyay 07 Oct '04

Hi, A two day [23-24Oct'4] embedded systems workshop for professionals is being organized by the students of Elec. Engg, IIT Bombay. From the schedule I found the following topics that might be interesting for the list members: http://www.ee.iitb.ac.in/eesa/aagomani/schedule.html DAY 2 - 24th October 2004 (Sunday) 0900 -1000 Real Time OS and its need in Embedded Systems Prof. Krithi Ramamritham, Head, KReSIT, IIT Bombay 1015 -1115 Linux System Development on an Embedded Device: Tinkering with PDAs for Fun and Profit - The Boot Loaders, Linux Kernel and GUI. 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. For the COMPLETE details on Aagomani 2004 VISIT OUR WEBSITE: http://www.ee.iitb.ac.in/eesa/aagomani Please register ASAP to make use of this golden opportunity to acquaint yourself with the best and the latest in Embedded Domain.

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
