VFS on top of it will allow you to communicate with your registerd FS. and building Net block device over this can make you achive replication on bare minimum. It sounds a great project and I am willing to take part with you. Regards, Animesh. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Sendmail Multiple domain unknown user ??
by vaibhav samant 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Hello All, We have 2 domains hosted on 2 diff. servers in US. We have 2 offices (Mumbai, Nagpur). If any mumbai users sends an email to any nagpur user, the sendmail bounces the email back saying that no such user exists. I want to setup sendmail such that if it is not able to find the user on the local system it should fwd the email to the hosted server (US) so that the email will be delivered to the nagpur user's mailbox which can then be fetched by the Nagpur server's fetchmail. I need to do this for both domains. How can I set this up. Any advice & pointers are deeply thanked. Thanks Vai

hi, no its not dhcp, earlier when they started the router that they were giving was in pppoe mode, and it was required for us to use something like rp-pppoe to dial out. but now they have come out with this new dlink modem (DsL-502T), which has a static ip given to it. this modem also has a lan side ip which is 192.168.1.1 so either we can give our machines a static ip set default route through the box's ip.

Respected Vice Chancellor...
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

Please sign this memo and add your suggestions and points. FN http://bangalore.gnu.org.in/?VTU-FLOSS_Campaign VTU-FLOSS Campaign The Vice Chancellor Visvesvaraya Technological University Belgaum - 590 014 Karnataka State, India Respected Sir, Re: Opening wider software avenues for your students through Free Software. There are thousands of engineering and polytechnic colleges in India. Each year, a few hundred thousands of graduates and diploma holders earn their degree. They pay thousands of rupees as fees to get the best facilities. A part of this goes to buying the softwares which they use either in college lab or for doing their assignments at home. For every software which India's engineering students use; there is an alternate Free Software program available. Free Software offers freedom, accelerated possibilities and wider vistas to our students. But in a 'talent rich, resource poor' country like India, it is also an issue of costs. Huge amounts of resources will be saved, and productivity gained, while deploying Free Software. This will not only make engineering education more cost-effective, but also more productive. Free/Libre and Open Source Software has many other advantages such as reliability, performance and security; building up of long-term capacity within the state and country itself; the Free (as in freedom) philosophy; encouraging innovations; offering alternatives to illegal copying; throwing up many possibilities in localisation; helping students vastly by allowing them to learn from the source code; getting access to literally thousands of tools; in addition, of course, to lower costs. Issues related to Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) in education are outlined very well at http://www.iosn.net/education/foss-education-primer/ Other than cost benefits, Free Software has other extremely pertinent advantages. We would urge you to serious consider the following: * No-fee licensing * Ease of license fee management * Better large-scale programmability * Easier integration * Better performance * Development convenience * Better support Niranjan Rajani in a study on FLOSS in the developing world, notes, "FLOSS has a complementary and reciprocal relationship to education. One needs an educated section of the population to fulfil the full potential of FLOSS, and at the same time FLOSS helps, enhances, and complements education by providing tools to promote education." In the case of education in computer sciences, FLOSS provides opportunities which nothing else can, as the Finland-based researcher Rajani points out: * Unrestricted access to the source code. * An environment of unlimited experimentation and tinkering. * Collaboration and interaction with a community of programmers, coders and users around the world. In addition to providing ready and available tools, Free Software provides positive examples from projects around the globe. In practice, this means that if someone in some other place has created a tool to reach a specific educational goal, one can take it as a starting point and build on it, without the need to "reinvent the wheel". The Dspace project and the Koha library software, mentioned earlier, are but two simple examples of such possibilities. As far as collaboration is concerned, Sourceforge is perhaps the biggest collaboration project ever created, uniting tens of thousands of software projects and hundreds of thousands of people around the world. "FLOSS itself has been called the most collaborative human effort ever," as Rajani points out. In addition to the above, the inherent qualities of FLOSS make it a prime tool for achieving local language educational software, especially for languages which are not deemed commercially viable for proprietary software vendors. This has the scope of offering both relevance and employment to so many of your bright young students. There are literally hundreds of Free Software's programs which colleges or universities can adopt. As Vishweshwaraiah Technological University is one of the biggest engineering-related universities in India, its time for VTU to give the lead and move towards using Free Software. This would encourage other Universities to follow suit. Let the VTU have the pride to be the first one to adopt Free Software in educational curriculum, on a scale significant enough to make a difference to the future of VTU, its many students, and India itself. Here we submit some examples of three such alternative Free Software programs which can be used for technical education. * (1) Operating System: Windows v/s GNU/Linux Because of the software tools prescribed in the colleges, and also a general lack of awareness of Free Software options, most colleges use Microsoft Windows based operating system. Yet, in terms of technological features, stability, learning possibilities, the GNU/Linux is increasingly being recognised as the best available globally. It is the best suited for any educational institution. Students can not only use it, but also can study its source code to understand its internal workings. Likewise, they can easily get in touch with the many volunteers who have put together this amazing set of tools, and collaborate internationally to created more suitable products and also hike their own skill-sets. But many of the colleges use or have started adopting GNU/ Linux, starting with the server room, where it is well known for its stability and security now it has entered our labs and desktops. * (2) Simulation: Matlab v/s Octave Matlab is used in communication and electronics lab. Matlab for an individual license for use in a university (academic use) costs $500. Any college will have to buy a minimum of 25 licenses. This means shelling out Rs.537,500. Octave, which is a simulation software written by university professors. This usually comes, along and as part of, the GNU/Linux Operating System. The advantage to students is that they don't have to buy a limited student version to use at home. They can use Octave both at lab and at home. SciLab? is another Free Software competitor for Matlab. It uses sophisticated algorithms to analyse data and produce aesthetic graphics. NG-SPICE is another GPLd Circuit Simulator which is based on the University of Berkley's Spice Version 3f5. * (3) Office software's: MS Office v/s Open Office Currently, we all used Microsoft Word to submit our project documents for review and for other academic purposes. Recent technological developments now mean that we have Open Office which is as good as Microsoft Office and has the same, if not better, features. Microsoft Office in fact lacks some features like PDF (Portable Document Format) support, compatibility with older versions of Microsoft Office, lack a vector drawing application, etc. Open Office gives you everything starting from a word processor, to presentation software to PDF generator. It is fully compatible with Microsoft Office -- so already existing data in those formats can be used. Don't you think it's the right time to save money and enhance efficiency of technological education in our country? The above are just examples. There are many such software programs from which the students can benefit. We hope the university understands the urgency and the need. We would be happy to give the university any information/help that is needed. Currently, India has a wide range of volunteer GNU/Linux support groups, a list of which can be found at http://wikiwikiweb.de/LugsList * (4) Computer Networks Subject Teaching: Ethreal, tcpdump, NS2 etc We use the above mentioned tools for the teaching of Computer Networks and Data Communication subjects. There are a number of other GNU GPLed tools which can be used in a number of other labs for teaching and learning. * (5) Content Management Systems: Drupal, PHP-Nuke etc For building websites and info portals for students to make online learning possible. In the world of online forums, Free Software have a number of free options. You could well imagine the impact that the accelerated spread of such easily-reachable and usable tools would have, not just on the engineers of tomorrow, but on the wider Indian society as a whole. We thank you for your patient hearing, and urge your reputed university to take speedy and decisive steps in this direction. Thanking you, We remain, Yours sincerely,

[OT] MTNL Tri Band ADSL equipment config
by Arun Khan 16 Mar '05

16 Mar '05

Fellow list members, The Khar(W) CO exchange informed me that they will be bringing in my ADSL connection by end of March and left a form to be filled up and submitted at the CO. The form has an item that refers to CPE equipment - either rented from MTNL or customer owned. I asked the lines man what exactly does the CPE mean and he was not sure if it would be my D-Link DI604 router or something else. Therefore, the query to this list. The ADSL setup that I have seen within the SBC/Ameritech (US midwest) network is as shown in the fig. below. The 2W/UTP from CO is terminated on a DSL/Tel. line splitter. The splitter has one RJ11 (for phone) and one RJ45 (for the DSL router OR the NIC in the computer) connector. ________ 2W UTP|DSL/Tel.| 2W -------|Splitter|------ from |________| UTP to Tel. set CO | | RJ45 to WAN port on DSL Router Hopefully, some of you on this list have already got this service and you are able to share some info on the CPE/router configs. Is the MTNL ADSL connection setup similar to the above fig.? If not, what does it look like? Also, how is the IP connection established i.e. DHCP, Static IP, or PPPoE? TIA. Regards, Arun Khan

Progress So Far

Dear Friends, In my experiment to load the edumorphix from the grub of the existing Redhat, I have now been able to boot that partition hda12 using this script in my grub.conf file.... title Debian GNU/Linux (with LILO) root (hd0,11) kernel (hd0,11)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.25-lck1 root=(hd0,11)/ The trouble area was the last line which was earlier root=/dev/hda12, which I tried with root=(hd0,11)/ and it was accepted. However after the initial startup messages, I get a kernel panic message. Any ideas? Does debian panic when it faces windows users? :-) Thanks for helping and Regards, Rony.

Current wireless technology is almost ready to replace the "centralised telco" model of communications except for the fact that our sicko politicians want an official slice of every rupee u manage to create and hence create laws to cartelise services. So the guy who routes international calls via broadband onto the local phone line is arrested and charged with criminal laws. But a reliance gets a wrap and scolding for doing precisely the same thing. Wifi phones and open standards permit good communications upto 2.5 km. One link i tested worked from Bandra to dahisar. The cost of one "cell" covering a radius of one km. with 20mbps effective throughput will work out to about Rs.1.5 lac. Each cell can support about a 1000 connections using speex. The effective cost of communications is so low that the service is essentially free. Every cyber cafe can become a telco cell and communications will spread rapidly. But then we are in India (not that other countries are any better but i dont see why we should be setting shitty standards for ourselves) and still trying to hatao garibi full 57 yrs after we replaced the colonial oppressors with an altogether more effective, upgraded purely indegenous version. rgds jtd

[ILUG-BOM] INDIA: Request to sign a petition favouring Free Software in the campus
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

Please sign this petition if you agree with it... it's an attempt to convince a prominent technological university in Bangalore (VTU) to be opened to the use of Free Software too. http://bangalore.gnu.org.in/?VTU-FLOSS_Campaign Krishna Pagadala, San Jose, USA. I have benefitted highly from the Free Software movement and the Freedoms it has provided. Specifically the Freedom to learn from the source code has helped me in getting a high-technology job in the US. I wish that all students enjoy the all the Software Freedoms. Pramode C.E, IC Software: I would like to add that there are efforts under way to develop innovative hardware experimentation platforms using GNU/Linux to improve the quality of Physics (as well as Engineering) education; and the best part is that it's being done in India. Please visit http://www.nsc.res.in/~elab/phoenix/ to know more about the `Phoenix Project' being developed by Ajith Kumar at the Nuclear Science Centre, India. The wealth of high quality tools and the open nature of the platform is of immense value to young engineers and scientists raring to unleash their creativity; the lessons in freedom and sharing that students learn by using GNU/Linux will also go a long way in shaping their character as caring and responsible human beings. ashidhar b desai ,6th sem E&C, B.V.Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering & Technology Hubli,Karnataka,India ,FLOSS is an excellent alternative for the existing commercial softwares..Academics(colleges and univ) is the best way to promote and support "Free Software".It will be a great initiative if the univ adopts it(it will become an example for other univ & institutes). News about open source and gnu/linux stuff---Indian Inside . Lets get Liberated.LONG LIVE OPEN SOURCE. Praveen Arimbrathodiyil (National Instititute of Technology, Calicut) Fri Mar 11 17:34:50 IST 2005 We use GNU/Linux in our main Computer center. It saves a lot of money of the college as there is no licence fee to be paid for each users. Since the source code of the softwares are available many computer science students do projects based on Linux kernel and other such projects. The possibility of use of thin-clients (which our computer center use) reduces the cost of hardware dramatically. It has proved to be beneficial to our college and I urge you to chose Free Software for giving a better alternative for students. Debapriyo Sarkar. Final year student of BCA, Goa. As a student, I plead to every university, to adopt, encourage and spread the use of Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS). The benefits are clearly far-more significant than cost savings (which of course is a huge motivating factor). The quality of software reviewed and worked on by virtually the entire developer community of the world is definitely at least world-class if nothing else. It is possible to save on costs with $0 priced closed source software often termed as freeware, but the limited resources of the single developer or the couple of developers behind the software makes future of such software bleak. Compared to that, software released under an open source license, helps user as well as developer involvement to happen as deeply and transparent as no other licensing model can support. As the letter includes the following (stripped) statement "...Octave, which is simulation software written by University professors. This usually comes with the GNU/Linux Operating System." which clearly shows that professors of universities elsewhere have contributed to the solution of making quality software available to the students and colleges alike under a license that welcomes further contributions to improve the project virtually endlessly. As a personal experience, I often have used open source alternatives whenever acquiring the proprietary packages meant depending on the lab assistant to provide the CD for illegal copying or genuinely going out and shelling out all those huge wads of cash for functionality that was already at my disposal with added advantage of continuing development and a long-life (of the software). As universities use and recommend use of open source software,rate of development is bound to grow with more and more students using the same version of software both at college and home (no limited cheap "student" edition which are "cheap" imitations with myriad "limitations"). Also professors' contributions in the form of bug reports, bug fixes, new functionality patches and their work in increasing awareness about the benefits of using open source software would help improve quality of free software to an enormous extent. Vijay Kumar, Chennai, India. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/schools.html .P.Sujeevan,Project leader, S2S2, Kerala .Here at kerala at school level more than 50 of schools are still using GNU/Linux.Also SSLC IT practical examination has successfully done under the linux operating system.Some schools are still using the Linux terminal server systems.Next year aggressive work is planning to implement complete linux environment in schools.http://s2s2net.netfirms.com _____ _/ ____\____ Frederick Noronha * Freelance Journalist * Goa \ __\/ \ India T +91.832.2409490 M +919822 122436 | | | | \ http://fn.swiki.net http://goabooks.swiki.net |__| |___| / http://www.bytesforall.net http://www.bytesforall.org \/ ----------------------------------------------------- Writing with a difference, on issues that really make the difference.

Hey Erle, At the meet we had a short talk about the grub bootloader of ur laptop.... and ways to get to the grub console ... I found one ( I hope ..) just press ESC key , when the grub screen appears IT would hopefully ask whether to exit the graphics mode and move to text mode.. Say yes and Their U arrive at a familiar much home like GRub Black and white screen with all keys like 'p', 'c' etc working as expected... Try it out and let me know...

[ILUG-BOM] HOWTO-Setup Hathway Cable-internet on Debian Linux using USB interface
by Nilesh Raykar 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

Hi all, I am a newbie to Linux. I am writing this mail hoping that it will save few hours work for someone somewhere. In this mail I am describing method used by me for setting up Hathway cable-internet on my home PC using usb-interface & Debian Linux. My Linux box- AMD Athlon XP1800+ 128 MB / 80 GB Multiboot - Debian Sarge (from PCQ Dec2004) / XP / 98SE Kernel - 2.6.8 Desktop - KDE 3.2 Hathway cable internet using Motorola Surfboard 5100 & USB cable interface Location - Mumbai, India 1. Information required before you start- (a) IP address assigned by Hathway (like 203.212.xxx.xx) (b) Subnet mask (255.255.255.0) (c) Gateway address (like 203.212.xxx.xx) (d) DNS addresses (like 203.212.xxx.xx) All of the above should be available in the subscription letter issued by Hathway. 2. Your kernel should be compiled with support for USBNET & CDCEther drivers. (Debian distribution by PCQ-Dec2004 have these precompiled). 3. Connect the cable modem to USB port of your machine & boot the machine. 4. The OS will detect the modem as ethernet device as "eth0".(I do not have any ethernet card, else this may change) You can check the same by "dmesg" command. Excerpt from dmesg on my machine is as follows- <quote> eth0: register usbnet at usb-0000:00:07.3-1, CDC Ethernet Device usbcore: registered new driver usbnet <unquote> 5. From start menu > system > networking (or from command line "network-admin") get network setup window. You need superuser password. - Click Add - connection type = ethernet - Configuration = manual - Feed IP, Subnet & Gateway - Finish with creating new connection - Enter DNS addresses in corresponding tab window. 6. You have finished the job ! 7. Check with "ifconfig eth0" & "netstat -r" if network interface has correct values & routing table is showing gateway correctly. Output from my machine are as follows- <quote from "ifconfig eth0"> eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:9F:C6:AC:83 inet addr:203.212.???.? Bcast:203.212.214.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20f:9fff:fec6:ac83/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:44336 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1808 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2845162 (2.7 MiB) TX bytes:187541 (183.1 KiB) <unquote> note - I have masked my IP address above. <quote from "netstat -r"> Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 203.212.214.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 203.212.214.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 <unquote> Happy sufing from your Linux box !

RHCE is the premiere cert. as far as Linux is concerned. Its the second toughest IT cert., after the CCIE. Ofcourse, you also have options of the vendor-neutral LPI and SuSE's new cert. But these are online exams, and do not test your practical skills as much the RHCE does. Needless to add, only certs will get you nowhere. Experience and skills count a lot too. > info abt training centres in mumbai is also required. If you're planning for RHCE, I can give information about a person (not me) who teaches industry-specific Linux. Contact me off-list if interested. > thanks > > Shrinivas Nayak > Founder of UPA (Unemployed People's Alliance) Heh. What's that? Regards, Nadiem. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

How to DualBoot Debian/RHEL
by Rony Bill 12 Mar '05

12 Mar '05

Dear Friends, I tried out the EduMorphix live CD and after that I installed it in my HDD as it is a Debian GNU distro and I want to try it out. Everything went OK but for safety, I did not install the LILO and planned to setup dual boot in the RHEL grub loader. I even visited the site for instructions on dual booting multiple linux distris. Below is the details of my system. As per the site's instructions, I copied 3 files from /boot of debian to /boot of RHEL. There is no initrd-xxxx.img file though. These are the 3 files in /boot of the debian in /dev/hda12 config-2.4.25-lck1 vmlinuz ....This is an executable file vmlinuz-2.4.25-lck1 This is my grub.conf in RHEL in /dev/hda8 # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,7) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda9 # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda default=1 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,7)/grub/splash.xpm.gz title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.4.21-4.EL) root (hd0,7) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi initrd /initrd-2.4.21-4.EL.img title EduMorphix GNU Debian .....This I added root (hd0,11) kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.25-lck1 ro root=LABEL=/ title DOS rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1 Still I get an error of file not found and no booting takes place. I would like to know, my RHEL's /boot is on /dev/hda8 but it is shown as hd0,7 not hd0,8 in grub.conf. My Debian is on /dev/hda12 (from fdisk), so using the same analogy, I made (hd0,11) but it detects it as an 82 partition and cannot mount it. I don't have any ext2 partitions in my system. Whats going on? All tips and tricks welcome. Thanks and Regards, Rony.

Hello, I have a strange problem, i have configured a proxy server with squid(transparent), also i have some iptables rules flowing. I use an 64kbps Internet connection from my cable operator, he terminates a cat5 cable at my premises, i have two lan cards on my redhat linux 9 box, eth0 is my internal LAN and eth1 is where i connect to internet. I have static ips for both eth0 and eth1. My problem is that whenever i download/upload any file it takes a very long time and stops responding, is it that i have to open some ports, or is it the problem of my ISP. Thankyou in advance.
