Who is RMS... ?
by Frederick Noronha 22 Jan '03

22 Jan '03

I am not so concerned that people raise this question *on* a mailing list. What is worrying however is that this question *is raised* at all by those who are positively disposed to Free/Libre and Open Source Software. Imagine talking about GNU/Linux (or, more often just 'Linux', the term popularised by the media, just like how it has converted the term 'hacker' into something negative) without talking about issues like freedom and the people (and their motivations) who started it all. There are some networks -- in India too -- which would like to pretend as if GNU doesn't exist, Richard Stallman comes out of some fictional book, and that Debian is a fiction of our imagination. Their argument is: we don't want politics. This (the claim of wanting to steer clear of 'politics') is, one could argue, a political stand in itself. By avoiding issues like freedom, just to make this campaign more palatable to business or the mainstream, we are taking a stand which has strong implications for everyone. Any newcomer to GNU/Linux out there wanting to get to know more about RMS, I would recommend reading his biography (Free As In Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software). I'm not sure how RMS views this biography, because in the journalistic style, it tries to be less hagiographical, and in parts critical of RMS, the person and the leader of the Free Software Movement. Nonetheless, IMHO it captures the spirit of the times fairly well... at least it helped me understand what shaped arguably the most collaborative project in humankind. --FN -- Frederick Noronha Freelance Journalist Goa India 0091.832.2409490/2409783 http://www.bytesforall.org Writing with a difference ... on what makes *the* difference

[Announce] ayttm
by Philip S Tellis 22 Jan '03

22 Jan '03

Announcing the release of Ayttm 0.2.1 You can get it at http://www.nongnu.org/ayttm/ Ayttm is a fork of Everybuddy, and aims to, at first, address its problems: * stability: Ayttm should not segfault when you use it. * intuitivity: Ayttm should be almost instantly usable by my mother ;) * simplicity: almost useless prefs should be hidden, reserved to "advanced" users, and things have to work without wondering what this or that will produce. * (internet) accessibility: Ayttm's CVS and releases should be available 24/7. That's why it's on savannah. Ayttm is maintained by Colin Leroy. * Important notes about this release - There has been a name change. People trying out Ayttm for the first time do not care, but people upgrading from an older version should do the following: make uninstall (in the old version source) mv ~/.yattm ~/.ayttm cd ~/.ayttm perl -pi -e 's/yattm/ayttm/g;s,sounds/ayttm,ayttm/sounds,g' prefs menurc * Bugfixes - code cleanups - some memleaks plugged - some segfaults fixed - Decoding bugs (Utf8 messages in Yahoo!, Utf8 friendlynames in MSN) fixed - Default focuses should be in the first text field of each window - Conversation restoring improved - Default browser changed to mozilla (old code didn't work) - No more log file overwrite when you rename a contact - Font strangenesses (size reset to defaults, ...) fixed * New Features - Name change :) - Bring Ayttm in front in case of duplicate launch - Better lists handling in MSN - Group handling in MSN - Check account validity when adding a friend - MSN smileys are back, copyright free this time - Chatrooms improvements: multiline edit, smiley selector, timestamping, Typing... status support, * and protocol in window title, nicer default name - Ispell dictionnary specifiable - Crash handler (enabled by default) - pops the stacktrace up if Ayttm segfaults -- Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny.

This script Block's YM, MSN, BOL!
by Mohan Cheema 22 Jan '03

22 Jan '03

Hi all, I was going through the mailing archive of some site and found the queries regarding blocking yahoo and msn messenger using iptable. There is a small script which I have written to block the yahoo,msn and rediff messenger using iptable. I thought to share it with you all as it might help some one on the list to block them. u can download the script from http://www.linzsystem.com/iptmess.tgz Took around a week to compile this huge list of servers and it definitely works Mohan -- "...very few phenomena can pull someone out of Deep Hack Mode, with two noted exceptions: being struck by lightning, or worse, your *computer* being struck by lightning."

ILUG-Bom IRC Channel
by Bhargav Bhatt 22 Jan '03

22 Jan '03

Ilug-Bom now has it's own IRC channel. We are called #ilug-bom and are located on irc.freenode.net - Home of many popular open source projects' channels. To learn more about IRC go to http://www.irchelp.org. For the ignorant people, IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It's a medium which offers the opportunity of Real Time communication between a large number of entities - Basically, the biggest collection of chat rooms. To connect to IRC you need a client like X-Chat, BitchX, KvIRC, mIRC(for Windows users) etc. To connect to freenode type /server irc.freenode.net Once you are connected, type /join #ilug-bom That should get you into the channel. If you have a constant connection to the net, please come and stick around, as we would like to see this # grow. Hope to see you all there. -- Bhargav Bhatt, Department of Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics, Columbia University. -- http://www.bhargav.com -- Linux is like living in a teepee.

mgetty compilation options
by Abhir Joshi 22 Jan '03

22 Jan '03

How do I find out whether the 'mgetty' binary installed from its rpm is compiled with -DAUTO_PPP or not? Or going further and generalizing, how do I find the flags that were used to compile a binary? I have configured my machine as a dialin server. Currently, mgetty accepts the username and then calls /bin/login to accept and authenticate the password from the peer. But I want pppd to authenticate the peer rather than /bin/login. So mgetty should call pppd rather than /bin/login. The file /etc/mgetty+sendfax/login.config has the option for doing this. But a comment in the file says that mgetty has to be compiled with -DAUTO_PPP option for it to work. I suspect that the currently installed mgetty binary isn't compiled with -DAUTO_PPP because even after enabling /AutoPPP/ in login.config, the remote client still gets a bash prompt after authenticating which indicates /bin/login being called. I read the installed mgetty documentation but it doesn't say anything about the AutoPPP option being used while compiling or not. -- Abhir Joshi http://education.vsnl.com/abhir/

Re:[ILUG-BOM] Performance vs. "Easibility" (was deleting oversi...)

But, that takes a long time to code and debug. Whereas, doing things in a more higher-level abstracted language makes development and deployment easier. So, basically the choice depends on the requirements. You might want to look at the different scripting languages available out there and decide which one to use. It's not very difficult to implement a solution like this one. Why, maybe you could try out the Korn Shell - it has support for regex, sockets and other goodies built-in! Nosferatu
