Yes, It doesnt load on startup. wu-ftpd will be started by `xinetd'
whenever you try to connect to it using a FTP client. `xinetd'
should be running for this to happen.
First `su' to root. Then enable wu-ftpd by setting the option `disable = no'
in the file /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd. Then start xinetd by doing
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd …
[View More]start
OR if xinetd is already running do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

Oops...
I am sorry for posting the subject incorrectly. So here we go
This may seem redundant but I need the solution to my problem and any
feedback will be appreciated.
I am want to set up an FTP only server on my desktop computer's linux
partition so that I can share files with my friends as I used to in
windows
using Serv U. I don't intend to use this computer as a server for any
other
type of protocol such as HTTP, etc.
I have the wu-ftp daemon (wu-ftpd) installed on my Red Hat 7.2
…
[View More]partition.
Now here is my problem. How do I setup user a/cs for my FTP server. I
know
the answer to this is rather easy but despite hours of scratching my
head
over it, I am not able to do it.....dunno why.....also, wu-ftpd does not
load on start up....{or so I think}...thanx in advance...
Orcaa !!

There's a learning curve. When I started out, I was averse to the command line too. But as I began discovering commands for things that went click-click, I found myself using the command …
[View More]line more and more.
The reason is simple - it's easier to issue a command than fire up a GUI, sift thru the tabs and buttons et al.
Say, you want to add a user to a new group. How'd you do it in GUI? Fire up Linuxconf, expand the trees till you reach the users area (I've forgotten what Linuxconf looked like, so it's a somewhat inexact reproduction), click on that user and then in his/her property sheet, specify the group somewhere. That done, you click the "Activate" button and then "Quit" hoping that things went fine. Same thing on the command line:
# usermod -G <group>[, ...] <user>
There's a command - apropos - that searches for the supplied keywords in short descriptions of all the entries in man pages. So, if you're looking for disk management commands, you can do:
$ apropos disk
and get a list of commands that have the word "disk" in their descriptions.
I don't say that GUI is bad. The user should figure out when to use what tool. As a rule of thumb, use a GUI tool when you are going to use a majority of the features it offers. So I may use LinuxConf when I get down to configuring my system after a fresh install. But not for the occasional tweaks and mods.

GPL is taking court action
against a violator. The FSF is taking legal action against
"Progress Software Corp." who attempted to ship a binary of
"Gemini" -- a mysql storage module without providing sources.
Progress Software sells a CDROM called NuSphere MySQL Advantage.
This contains various applications like Apache, PHP and MySQL.
As a very important part of HA database services and crash
recovery, Gemini is very popular. But the source code is under
wraps . ie A GPL violation by Progress …
[View More]Software.
The question is not about GPL standing for trial, but the
point about MySQL AB selling ``dual licensed'' editions and
Progress Software not being allowed. IMHO GPL will win !
[-SNIP-]
EBEN MOGLEN's Affidavit :
19-a.. Redistribution must itself occur under GPL and only GPL,
with no additional license conditions. (See Exhibit B, §2(b));
19-b.. Redistribution must include ``source code,'' the
human-readable form of computer programs that allows programmers
to understand and modify computer programs for themselves, as
opposed to ``object code,'' which is the ``machine language''
version of computer programs that is very difficult for programmers
to understand or modify
19-c.. Redistribution must include a copy of the GPL, so that
users are aware of their rights to use, copy, modify and distribute,
and so that anyone engaged in redistribution is also aware of the
conditions under which redistribution is permitted.
......
35.. I then checked whether the source code of the Gemini
component of mysqld was available. I saw that it was not.
I used standard tools to ``recompile'' mysqld, which means
to rebuild the program from the parts provided, and discovered
that the rebuilt mysqld did not include Gemini capacity. In
a manual distributed in the portion of the CD only related to
Windows users I found the statement that ```GEMINI' tables
will be included in some future MySQL 3.23.X source distribution.''
......
38.. Under GPL §4, I conclude, Progress Software Corp. lost the
right to distribute MySQL when it distributed NuSphere MySQL
Advantage in a fashion that violated GPL.

Title: Reinforcement Learning
Speaker: Jayprasad J. Hegde
Venue: Lecture Theatre, NCST, Juhu
Abstract: Reinforcement Learning is all about simulating the manner in
which humans would go about learning in real life. So, if you were
presented with a game of chess and you did not know how to play it, how
would you go about learning it? How would you go about learning it if you
were told that out of the six games you played only 2 resulted in a
victory? How do you …
[View More]figure out which game you have won? How do you figure
out which strategies were successful or which strategies are a strict
no-no?
These are some of the issues you would face when posed a problem of
learning a new concept, or in this case learning a new game. These are
exactly the same issues which a system would have to deal with if it were
to ever try and learn something using trial-and-error.
Now, consider the implications of using such a learning mechanism:
exploring the surface of Mars by learning how to navigate on-the-fly,
building a world-class checkers-playing program using GAs and NNs, learning
to acquire "soft" versions of a dictionary given a parallel corpus,
learning new strategies for computer-controlled opponents in the latest 3D
first-person shooting game... the list goes on.
If you've missed out on the Machine Learning seminar given previously, then
this would be a good time to attend the second of the Machine Learning
seminars viz. Reinforcement Learning, since, we will recap some of the
pertinent basics of Machine Learning, cover the basics of Reinforcement
Learning, discuss some of the technologies involved and then round-off with
a motivating case study.
About the Speaker: Jayprasad J. Hegde is a fitness-freak going under the
guise of a Computer Scientist in the KBCS division at NCST. He claims to be
working in the field of Natural Language Technology and have interests in
Machine Learning, but one is rarely fortunate enough to see him around and
confirm this. His only proof of existence seems to come from some of the
articles that he keeps writing rather frequently, his knack for being
available for "important" occasions like someone's birthday-treat and his
picture on the his home-page. If you have seen him in your locality please
dial KBCS and inform them. Please do not expect any rewards for doing so.

Yep... you are wrong. The BIOS used to play a major role during the
16-bit real mode days. DOS used the bios for I/O as did Win3.x and (I
think) Win95.
Modern OSes talk directly to the disk controller, so after the kernel
is …
[View More]loaded the BIOS has no role to play. Thus it is important for the
Kernel to be located somewhere the BIOS can access it, but after that
it doesn't matter.
For Linux this means LILO uses the BIOS but the Kernel doesn't.

Its not that simple... BIOSes are very hardware dependent

If you BIOS doesn't detect large drives it is quite likely that it
doesn't support LBA32 either.
LBA32 is a BIOS funda, not LILO.
