ncftp configuration
by Sushant Gulati 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hello everybody, Sorry to bother you with this trivial problem, but as it goes, I am experiencing problem using ncftp on my RedHat Fedora core 1 system. When I checked, it had ncftp preinstalled. And when i type "ncftp 192.168.10.1" at the command prompt(where 192.168.10.1 is the IP of the host where i wanted to log in), it connects successfully and displays the ftp prompt. Now the problem is : 1) When i type ls it shows /pub and then i cannot create a directory there or cannot upload, download files. A permission denied error is shown. 2)When i try logging into ftp from the shell prompt by typing "ncftp 192.168.10.1 -u root -p XXXX", where root and XXXX are the username and 3) Actually, I need am very new to the concept of ncftp, can u suggest any resources other than ncftp documentation, where i can learn how to configure the ftp service. My project is on email archival, and the all the work in the project is complete except the ncftp portion. what i need is to build a number of user accounts, with certain usernames and passwords and then i need to write shell scripts to automate the uploading and downloading of files. I hope u'll be able to help me. Warm regards, Sushant __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Re: Driver for D-Link DSL 502T ADSL modem

If the hardware vendor does _not_ provide drivers or specs to write the drivers then no matter what Linux distro you use, you will not be able to connect to the 502t on the USB port. Ask the vendor for drivers; suggest you write about your dilemma to: K. R. Naik MD/CEO, DLink India Ltd. DLink House, Plot No. 5 Kurla-Bandra Complex Road Off CST Road, Santa Cruz (East) Mumbai, MH 400 098 Request Mr. Naik to provide you a NIC if he does not want to provide Linux drivers for the USB port :) If enough people start asking the vendors for Linux drivers perhaps they will listen. -------------- I'll try this option. What I am interested to know is ...only speed would be a matter in connecting to a USB and connecting to a LAN Card port... or is there something else... _____________________________ www.geocities.com/d_rosh2001 If there's anything that you want to ask about related to computers and information technology email me at any of the following addresses 1) d_rosh2001(a)yahoo.co.in 2) dhanvirosh(a)rediffmail.com I think I should be able to help you --------------------------------- Enjoy this Diwali with Y!

Automated Encryption
by Sushant Gulati 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

hello everybody, I am experiencing a proble related to encryption. can u suggest some encryption method which if used with shell scripts, needs no user input and can be fully automated, eg. methods where user doesnt hav to type in the encrption keys. the key can be kept in a file and can be picked up from there. Currently, I use bcrypt, which prompts user to enter the encryption key and thus goes out of shell scripts control. I want to avoid this, by using a encryption tool which takes its encryption key in the command line. Warm regards, sushant __________________________________ Yahoo!

Why logging as root in the GUI is avoidable
by Vinayakam Murugan 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hi Since this issue was being discussed within another thread, I tried to get more info on this. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO/xsecurity.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Never, ever run X as root. The number of bad things that can happen, dramatically increases when logged in as root. Learn to run as much as possible as a regular user, and su to root only when needed. This may sound like a lot of extra work (and probably is at first), but once the "right"way of doing things is learned, it soon becomes second nature. A brief anecdote from a friend: he had a client who's new system stopped "working". Curiously, he found the entire /dev directory was missing, which he re-installed and all was well again. He was back a few days later and found the system logged in as root to X, and someone had clicked on /dev in the file manager, and dragged it onto the desktop. Smooth move! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is pretty good advice for a newbie. Atleast the geeks can figure their way out of a mess, if they need to. -- Warm Regards ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vinayak http://theregoesanotherday.blogspot.com/

Glade is a GUI interface to design the widgets ie., the windows in layman terms. We can acheive the same using gtk+, but it requires more time. So in glade you will design your interface and then open some related files to that interface, for eg: callbacks.c and then edit that file to write code to give actions to each and every buttons or other controls which you have. You can do the entire things by purely programming in gtk+ without using glade. So more clearly gtk+ is the actual library with which you will be writing code and glade is there for making the work of programming easy.

Small problem in SUSE 10
by Aniket 12 Nov '05

12 Nov '05

This is my first submission to this list. Please forgive for any mistakes. I have been using linux for the past 2 years.(First installed distro FC2) I have recently installed SUSE 10 along with Fedora 4(which was previously present).I chose not to install GRUB during SUSE install and am using the GRUB of Fedora to boot Win xp ,fedora as well as SUSE.All works fine in SUSE except that the display quality is very bad. I get a resolution of 1024x768 after adding "vga=0x317" as kernel parameter while booting SUSE .But when i scroll up or down in webpages or konqueror filebrowser th scrolling is not smooth. Can anyone help me to find out what is wrong.There in no such problem in Fedora 4 which i am using since 4 months....My graphics card is S3ProSavage DDR onboard. Everything else works fine in SUSE .Also 1 more thing....I cant start SAX2 from anywhere ,neither command prompt in runlevel 3 or from yast in runlevel 5.plzz help LINUX GURUS!!!! Apart from this, I think SUSE 10 is the ideal distro to get any newbie hooked onto linux as it has a gui for almost all tasks using YAST(I myself was hooked on to linux since i first used the SUSE 9.1 Live CD.) A newbie from windows worls always wants to have a gui. -- The Future is Open...The Future is LINUX

[OT] Hospital Software
by Rony Bill 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hello All, Yesterday I was at a hospital to oversee a patient's discharge. It took a whole day for them to simply discharge the patient. What was surprising was that even though the hospital had computers in practically all departments, they didn't seem to maintain records progressively. They made small hand written bills for various medical activities and put them in a patient's file. This file would then be passed on from one dept. to another. Finally during discharge, the billing dept. would enter all these records one by one into their computer. This was a long process and to add to the delay was a pile of many such files to be entered into the computer at a time. Ultimately inspite of having lots of computers with them in the entire hospital, they were underutilizing this usefull resource. There are many software developers on this list who are also into database management. This is just a suggestion. Whenever they create softwares for hospitals, they could create a system wherein every department creates its bills directly into the computer and prints it out on a tiny printer just like the one used in restaurants and STD/ISD booths. So when a patient's portfolio is created on admission it is stored on a central server. Every department's new bill is added to this record at the time of creation itself. So during discharge the billing department does not enter any bills into their computer, instead they simply click a button to get a final print out as per their format. In order to overcome local networking glitches that may temporarily prevent access to the main server, a sub server database can be kept running in every machine that is used to enter data. This server will store a backup of all its own records and also act as a buffer holder when network is down. When the network is up again, it will automatically locate the main server and update the main database. This will be a background process that will run without user intervention, thus allowing records to be created inspite of network loss.

Linker Flag information
by Mandar Khanolkar 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

hi, I am facing a problem related to ld (linker directive) on RH Linux AS 3. Functionality: We are using OHS (Oracle HTTP Server), which loads our shared library module, consider A.so. This A.so has dependancy on some LDAP SDK .so modules. These are mozilla LDAP SDK libraries we use to do LDAP related xsactions. Also OHS has its own LDAP SDK libraries and it loads these libraries and symbols globally. problem: When we do some LDAP related transaction through Web-browser, our modules calls mozilla LDAP SDK for DS connectivity. This is as expected. But mozilla LDAP SDK is failing to invoke correct routine internally. It calls OHS LDAP routines as it finds them defined globally. So we want to resolve mozilla LDAP calls internally w/o going into OHS. We are doing this for both Linux and Solaris. For Solaris we have resolved the problem by linking mozilla LDAP SDK libraries with -B direct linker option. This way all LDAP calls are resolving internallywithin mozilla libraries. But problem still exist with Linux as I couldnt find -B direct linker option for ld. If I use static libraries to generate A.so, ofcourse it resolves the issue. But I want to use mozilla LDAP shared libraries. Is there any compatible option on Linux like -B direct? -mandar

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Help me with pppoe problem with ubuntu 5.10
by Faraz Shahbazker 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

>> i have to pppoeconf everytime i want to login to inet You mean you have to run the "pon" script. pppoeconf is the configuration tool that asks for login info each time. Once configured the info is stored in: /etc/ppp/peers/<some_connection_name> You can then start ppp anytime by doing: $ pon <some_connection_name> As for automatic starting, I added this to /etc/network/interfaces --- cut here --- auto ppp0 iface ppp0 inet ppp provider <some_connection_name> --- cut here --- Just put your connection-name correctly. The network service should take care of bringing the interface up at boot. NOTE: this is for the kernel-based pppoe implementation (using deb packages "pppoe" and "pppoeconf"). If you are using user-space implementation (namely rp-pppoe) the startup script is pppoe-start instead of pon. Also the configuration utility is pppoe-setup instead of pppoeconf. - farazs
