How do I change my list specs?

17 Apr '09

Hi, Though I am a member, I avoid posting much as I have subscribed only for the digest. To post from the digest directly involves forming a new subject (top-posting?) which I want to avoid. I want to change my list preferences to get individual mails so that I can reply to those I feel like. How do I change my preferences. I looked up on the list page but could not find the link.

BJP's Akward embrace of free software
by Rahul Rai 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

*The BJP’s awkward embrace of Free Software * ** http://www.hindu.com/2009/04/10/stories/2009041055960900.htm Deepa Kurup *The party’s discovery of the virtues of OS would appear to sit uncomfortably with its slogan “Let a hundred Bangalores bloom.” * The IT manifesto of the Bharatiya Janata Party has created ripples among software circles with its support for Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), and its opposition to “digital standards.” While the Kerala government has a policy that makes the use of FOSS in government and education mandatory, Tamil Nadu has implemented it in a few departments. Left parties have for long backed the Free Software movement politically. It is surprising that the BJP, with its strong pro-corporate and pro-patent leanings, should back this cause. Even as the Free Software community is celebrating this latest endorsement, sceptics among its ranks are cautious about taking the BJP’s promises at face value. Its track record, when in power at the Centre and in the States, provides grounds for these misgivings. Consider this. As late as January 2009, the BJP government in Gujarat, led by Chief Minister Narendra Modi, inked a deal with the global proprietary software giant Microsoft that includes a Microsoft-developed IT curriculum for high school students, teacher training, certification programmes, and offers free Microsoft software development tools to universities. Less than two months on, the party manifesto in its “eEducation” section declares: “We will actively promote Free and Open Source Software, including operating systems, which will introduce the habit of innovation (‘tinkering’) among students.” In fact, in 2006 the BJP government in Rajasthan signed a similar deal with Microsoft under Project Shiksha, and in 2004, the BJP-JD(S) coalition in Karnataka, tied up with proprietary giant for education and e-governance initiatives. Prabir Purkayastha of the Delhi Science Forum feels the manifesto reflects the “blinkered vision” of the BJP, which has “never taken an anti-monopoly stance.” Dr. Purkayastha points out how Free Software circles are abuzz with an interesting anomaly in L.K. Advani’s speech at the manifesto launch: “Mr. Advani referred to how impressed he was on his visit to the Microsoft Office in the U.S. He did not see the stark contradiction, as he proudly reflected on the number of Indians present there!” FOSS activists, however, hope this means increased visibility for their cause, considering a large number of National E-governance Missions are in the pipeline, for which Rs. 6000 crore has been earmarked in the 11th Five Year Plan. The 40-page document also promises to set up an “IT standards-setting body,” carving it out of the Bureau of Indian Standards, and promises all government software will conform to these “open standards.” Venkitesh Hariharan, a senior Red Hat official, says: “It is significant because so far there hasn’t been any conscious effort towards policy making. Public data and websites have been in both proprietary and open format.” Digital standards As for their new stance on “digital standards” — that is, proprietary claims on algorithms and software programmes — the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government, notably, was the first to amend the Patent Act in March 1999 and in June 2002 as part of the WTO agreement under Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). The seemingly innocuous phrase “software per se,” which the NDA government introduced into section 3(K) of the Indian Patents Act, was a loophole through which software could be brought under a patenting regime from a copyright one. According to Dr. Purkayastha, the amendments had nothing to do with TRIPS which does not even include software or computer programmes in its ambit. “A 2004 ordinance provided for patenting of computer programmes used in combination with hardware. Later, while in the opposition the BJP opposed the bill — even though it was virtually drafted by their Commerce Minister Arun Jaitley. It was presented without any changes,” he says. This was revoked in 2005 by the United Progressive Alliance under pressure from the Left. Corporates such as IT majors Infosys and TCS have long lobbied for patents. When contacted, a senior spokesperson from Microsoft, a company that will be hit hardest by an OS regime, told *The Hindu* that the company is “encouraged by the focus on IT by political parties,” describing the policy of the Government of India as one of “technology neutrality.” The BJP’s discovery of the virtues of OS would appear to sit uncomfortably with its slogan “Let a hundred Bangalores bloom.” Rahul

Facebook & Hotmail on Ubuntu
by Chirag Wazir 15 Apr '09

15 Apr '09

Hi, A friend has a strange problem that I have been unable to solve, so I thought I'd canvas for suggestions here. Since the last week or so, he has been unable to log in to Facebook or Hotmail from Ubuntu. He has a dual-boot machine with Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP. He is connected via a MTNL Triband connection. Both sites still work fine in XP. Other sites work fine in Ubuntu. He's tried several alternate browsers besides Firefox, including Opera, SeaMonkey, etc. but has the same problem there. Sometimes the login page on Hotmail loads up, but logging in doesn't produce any response. In Facebook again, sometimes the login page loads, but doesn't work. In SeaMonkey, sometimes logging in to Facebook does proceed to the home page, but then no other links work. I have tried googling, but no satisfactory solution showed up. Suggestions included clearing the cache/cookies (no effect & in any case multiple browsers makes this unlikely), changing DNS servers (tried both MTNL & OpenDNS, and in any case they're the same servers as set under Windows), and even checking the Java install (I really doubt MS uses Java on the Hotmail page, but I tried it anyway). Ping times of both sites seem normal. Any further lines of inquiry would be appreciated. Thanks, Chirag Wazir http://chirag.freeshell.org

[INFO] wicd for those plagued by knetwork-manager.
by Rony 14 Apr '09

14 Apr '09

Hello, Are you frustrated with network setups in KDE? Do you spend long hours trying to figure out just how to get your network device up in KDE? Are you fed up with knetwork-manager not displaying your network devices? Have you spent sleepless nights trying to figure out knetwork-manager but met with no success due to unavailability of proper configuration files? Well! Don't fret, don't fume, don't bang your head on the wall, just throw out knetworkmanager and install wicd. Reboot your system and you will get a network icon in the system tray. On opening its window your devices will be listed. Next to each device, on the left is a tiny arrow button that almost gets unnoticed but clicking on that arrow will drop down details for setting up each device, wired or wireless. For wpa wireless setup, in the preferences section select the correct wireless driver. If one doesen't work, try all others till your connection gets established. In my Acer Travelmate 2428, for Lenny, the Intel 2200 device used the ipw2200 driver with a manually added firmware but in wicd, instead of 'ipw', I had to use 'wext' to get proper authenticaton, so once you set your passphrase and encryption type (wep, wpa, ....) try out all drivers if the default does not work. -- Regards, Rony.

MySQL encrypted passwords..
by Chirag R 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi Guys, I am working on an application which needs to connect to MySQL database for updating/insertion etc. For the application to pickup the username/password I've created a config file somewhere on the system which looks like this: <snip> [mysqld] user=root password=mypassword port=3306 </snip> Problem is that this file can be read by root on that server and my password pretty much known to anyone who has root access. Is there anyway I can keep the password in encrypted format and still connect to mysql database? . Just to give an example of what I am looking at, in openldap you can generate a password in encrypted format using slappasswd -t {MD5} -s mypassword and store it in your slapd.conf file. Even if someone does get access to slapd.conf, still s/he cannot decrypt the password very easily. Please note that I cannot hard code the password into my application, since the root password for MySQL is subject to change without notice to me. TIA, Chiragz

> 1. My App looks bad since it requires to store password in clear-text in a > file. This is more of client requirement; they do not want any password to > be stored in clear-text. > <snip> > 2. Accidentally doing a cat even by root will make the password visible. You don't need to keep the password in clear text. Encode it in Base64 and keep it in the configuration file. This will solve the problem of accidental viewing by some less tech savvy support personnel. But still it doesn't secure your password. If someone sees and remembers or notes down the encoded string, the original password can be retrieved from it easily. You can also encrypt the password with a key. Then hard code the key in the application itself. This will solve above problem as key can't be retrieved without doing a detailed analysis of your app. There are ways to embed the key text in an executable so that it won't turn up in the output of "strings" command. Since MySQL requires password to be supplied in clear text, your application needs to keep it somewhere. Anyway none of the methods mentioned above guarantees hundred percent security. > 3. If you send across the system info to support to troubleshoot my App, > this file maybe included. Customer passwords will be exposed to support > guys. (I know customer can remove the password line and send across the > file, but again its about convenience) The best practice is to keep sensitive data in a separate configuration file and don't keep it in the application base directory. For example if your application is installed in /user/local/myapp, the file with password should be kept in /etc/myapp.conf or something. So archiving the application base won't include this file. > I know root can access almost any file and cause damage/modify, but that is > something I am not worried about.

The documents get spooled out of the system & shows that, it is printed successfully on the printer, but it is not printed If I connect another USB printer like HP LaserJet 3005 on the same system, then it can print on that printer( on 3005). If the same printer (LaserJet P1007) I connect to the windows xp system, the printer works properly giving all the prints. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sameer Shinde.
