Making Linux look harder than it is
by E C Vijil 10 Jan '02

10 Jan '02

An interesting article. Many "gurus" teaching new users about Linux make it look harder than it needs to be, and apparently fail to explain that yes, you can make PowerPoint-style presentations in Linux, you can view Web Pages that use Flash animation and other "glitz" features, and that you can manage all your files though simple "point, click, drag and drop" visual interfaces. Could the biggest problem with Linux usability be that most of the people teaching newbies to use Linux are too smart and know too much? Read the complete article here: http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=01/12/05/1259245 Regards, Vijil

Now what can we(users) can do if they are not ready to give Linux solution. Afterall, we are paying them. Infact we are ready to give them free solution if they give us algorithm. Can I say that I have developed it JUST for myself and put on the web for educational purpose or something like that? There has to be something legal, right :-)(any hints?). How was Microsoft's SMB reverse engineered, that cant be legal then either? Amish.

I sent elitecore guys a mail asking for algorithm. But first mail bounced back and there is no response to second. I guess only option to reverse engineer the code but IS IT LEGAL to do so? I think even SMB(MS's?) protocol was reverse engineered, so is it allowed? I am no good in RE but I want to try once but only if I CAN. Amish.

Fwd: Linux Documentation Author Werner Heuser threatened with 6 months imprisonment or 250.000.- EURO penalty for supposed tradmark infringment
by N.D. 09 Jan '02

09 Jan '02

From: "Kurt Pfeifle" <kpfeifle(a)danka.de> To: <announce(a)linuxdoc.org>; <discuss(a)linuxdoc.org>; <docbook(a)linuxdoc.org> Cc: <wehe(a)mobilix.org> Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 7:55 PM Subject: Linux Documentation Author Werner Heuser threatened with 6 months imprisonment or 250.000.- EURO penalty for supposed tradmark infringment Off topic -- cross posting is deliberate... ############################################################################ ################ ## 6 months imprisonment or 250.000.- EURO penalty to Linux Documentation Author -- ## for infringing comic character "Obelix" through free Laptop support Website "MobiliX"?? ############################################################################ ################ After having gotten a request (in June 2001) from German legal representatives of "Les Editions Albert Rene" (Paris), holder of the trademarks "Asterix" and "Obelix", to unregister the name MobiliX, they now took legal action against Werner Heuser (mailto:wehe@mobilix.org), well-known amongst Linux-laptop users for authoring the "Linux-Mobile-Guide" (formerly called the Laptop-HOWTO), published by the Linux Documentation Project. MobiliX (http://mobilix.org/), his own website, is dedicated to "Mobile UniX systems" on laptops, PDAs, cell phones and more. It carries lots of useful hands-on information about installing and running Linux and BSD on laptops, PDAs and other mobile computer devices -- and of course it is free to use via the internet. It exists since five years and besides the famous site "Linux on Laptops" (http://www.linux-laptop.net) by Kenneth E. Harker it seems to be biggest resource on this topic. MobiliX is an acronym of the words "mobile" and "UniX". To avoid legal trouble, Werner had registered this name at the German trademark register in 1999. It is a common practice to build new names for Unix related topics from a word naming the topic and adding the letters "iX" at the end. Some examples are: AIX, Eurix (Comfood), Sinix (Siemens-Nixdorf), SkroBelix, Skyrix, Ultrix, Xenix. The German computer magazine iX is even just named by these letters. The name Unix itself is a registered trademark of AT&T, X/Open. The very name Mobilix is already registered for a German manufacturer of children furniture -- but don't seem infringed, because of the different industry they are in. Before the legal action, Werner didn't reference in any way towords comic characters Asterix or Obelix on his web pages. The name of his website MobiliX.org is supposed to be mistaken for Obelix, according to the charges. The trademark Obelix was registered by German lawyer Guenter Freiherr v. Gravenreuth. The legal charge is up to 250.000 USD or six months prison. The costs of the first instance are app. 15.000 USD. Werner Heuser has decided not to withdraw the name "MobiliX". He is supported by the German lawyers Jaschinski, Biere und Brexl - JBB (http://www.jbb-berlin.de). This case is another one in the recent series of trademark troubles for Free Software projects (SAMBA, Kylix, Kilustrator, SELFHTML, SuSE, ..). Therefore this case is very important not only because many of these projects have names ending on "iX". Current news about the case are at http://mobilix.org/mobilix_asterix.html Please support Werner to fight this attack.

FS bugs in kernel 2.4.x series
by Amish Mehta 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Hi, I remember there was some discussion going on here on FS bug in kernel 2.4.x. It was regarding root mount error where root block got corrupted. Somebody had reported that this bug exists in some of versions of kernel. If I remember the kernel versions were also specified. I searched the past archives of list but failed to find any such note. I had read the same on kernel.org too but it has disappeared from there too. So can anybody please tell me which kernel versions had the FS bug in kernel 2.4.x series. Where do I find any such notes of serious kernel errors? I searched on yahoo but didnt give me expected results. Thank you. Amish.

Diskless linux clients
by Ashok Iyer 07 Jan '02

07 Jan '02

Hi, I have been successful in configuring Diskless Linux workstations using boot images from www.etherboot.org and precompiled kernels from www.ltsp.org . ltsp-core version 3.0.0. The diskless clients boots, loads its kernel via tftp, mounts root file system via NFS (from /opt/ltsp/i386 on the server) and gives either: 1) a telnet session to the server(The machine on which the root file system exists). 2) or a bash prompt. Is it possible to authenticate the user before he gets the bash prompt(from /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/passwd)? I tried to do this by putting the binaries of mingetty, bash and login from my redhat linux distro. into the ltsp root file system /opt/ltsp/i386/bin/bash, /opt/ltsp/i386/bin/login and /opt/ltsp/i386/sbin/mingetty. I also copied /lib/security and /etc/pam.d . Note that my Red Hat Linux system's kernel version is the same that ltsp-kernel package provides i.e. 2.4.9. I copied a couple of users from /etc/passwd on my system to /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/passwd file. After doing all this, I was successful in getting a login prompt but was unable to authenticate any user. What could be the problem?. I was not using shadow passwords. Then I also tried copying the shadow and group files from my linux box but no success. Please guide me as to what the problem could be.

Cyber Crime Investigation Cell
by Vicky 03 Jan '02

03 Jan '02

I've worked with the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell for more than a year now. I have helped them with tons and tons of cases of all kind;s from Child pornography and hacker to stalkers etc. I dont think people on this list should keep bashing the CCIC the police working with it have gone a long way to learn a lot about computer forensics. They had also been taught a lot from FBI who provided tons of material. The experts (except Flynn Baba) who work with the CCIC help the police with the technical part of the investigation apart from us atleast 3 computer security companies help the cyber crime cell at all times. Ok maybe the infrastructure the cops have is sad but thye work very hard and even stay late nights to catch people on IRC etc, You cant expect them to be computer experts they are cops and they handle the crime part of the investiagtion and are very good at doing what cops do. Also yes they do have linux running at the Cyber crime cell. On a dual boot machine and yes it is used (not by flynn baba, will make him a Eunuch: Ref: Philips Secnet review) . Also the website of the cyber crime cell is run free of cost by Net4India hosted and developed by them so if its computer security your worried about talk to net4india. When a Indian hacker hacked the site last time the cops had him in less than a week. Now comming to Flynn I know him for the last year and he is the WORST computer security expert I have ever meet if thats what you want to call him. I know for sure that he has NEVER ever written a book on computer seucirty he was a writter in StarDust. The Company he has formed as your google search found has shut down. To be truthful I find it insulting to even work with him. A security computer to him is one which has its Internet Cache deleted. I dont want to carry on with the flynn bashing even though I am beginning to enjoy it :) Just dont judge a cyber crime investiagtion cell by its Flynn :) If you ever are in any trouble or a cyber crime has been committed against you please go down to the CCCIC office at Commissioners Office opp Crawford Market. 1st floor of the building right in front of the main gate. Senior Inspector IM Zahid is the officer incharge btw, Some of the cops working there an API I think even went outof his was to train at NCST the comp security module I think. Give them some time :) regards Vicky

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Search in a file
by Mayur Joshi 02 Jan '02

>\root\sandeep\log111.txt >This files has a lot of text and one particulr line is ..... >##Date 24-07-2001 > >Now >1. I need to locate the line "##Date" in the above file >2. I then need to store the date value "24-07.2001" in a variable. Which language you are using? I assume Perl, because this is much simpler in Perl. 1. Open the file for reading. 2. Search for the above string by reading every line. $_ variable contains the current line. You can do this by using pattern searching operations in Perl. 3. Once you find the above line then split that line at spaces and collect the required date in a variable. Here is the code which I would prefer to write. open(RH,"</root/sandeep/log111.txt"); while(<RH>) { if($_ =~ /##Date/) { $flag = 1; } else { $flag = 0; } if($flag eq 1) { ($str1, $str2) = split(/ /, $_); $date = $str2; } } Hope this is very much clear.

How about something for developers? Like Sun Java, Tomcat etc. Somebody told me it comes with RedHat but I never could find it on PCQ CD. Amish.

Check the timestamp of the mails
by Kunal Gangakhedkar 02 Jan '02

02 Jan '02

Hi Guys, Just check out the timestamp of some later mails. It shows mm/dd/yy with yy=03.... It should be the problem of ILUG mail server, I guess, 'coz I'm not having this problem with any other mails of mine. What could be the reason???

[OT] - Winamp For Linux
by Kunal Gangakhedkar 01 Jan '02

01 Jan '02

Hey Guys, For those Multimedia freaks, Check out Winamp3 beta 2 review. Also, they've designed the new API called WASABI, uniform for all the operating systems(currently works with Linux And Win32). This means, Winamp will now work with Linux as well.... Plus, whatever you develop for Winamp3 on Win32 using WASABI will work with very less or no modification on Linux as well. It's great..... ( that is what I think !!!) Hope to get your reviews as well... Kunal ------------------ "Oh, I've seen copies [of Linux Journal] around the terminal room at The Labs." (By Dennis Ritchie)

[sec] scanning signs
by kishor bhagwat 31 Dec '01

31 Dec '01

hi! I'm attaching a file containing excerpts from my syslog. Wanted to generate some discussion regarding interpretation of the entries.... fyi, I'm behind a proxy server.I've got iptables running. you can look at the file first, and then read on.. my two cents.. this is a malicious attempt-not innocent at all!! hint:same destination and source ports... most certainly, the source IPs are spoofed, the attacker is within the LAN that i;m part of. hint:packet with a destination of all 255s... I've also got snort running on the same machine....it didnt generate any alerts... does anyone recognise any particular scanner's signature here? anyone know what particular exploit(s) this guy was looking for? inviting more inputs from u guys. regards, kishor __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
