Subject: [ILUG-BOM] Passwd encryptions
Hi would like to know abt this command of red hat linux

And also do let me know abt 'idecrypt'command is it possible to decrypt the passwd from the password
Also tell me few others algorithams or commands of …

Hi,
MD5 is not a enryption standard it just provides a "fingerprint" or message digest of a message of arbitrary length. The difficulty of coming up with any message having a given message digest is on the order of 2^128 operations,So basically its a one way encryption but it has a known collision weakness.
idecrypt is used to decrypt encrypted responses from a pidentd server with DES encryption.
grub-md5-crypt is just used to get the fingerprint of the user pass to protect grub modification
there are lots of encryption standards like blowfish ,md4,md5 ,SHA1 ,SHA2 ,DES and Triple DES, Serpent , twofish and famous CRC !!
Hope this clarify.

We need to know the following.
How to create a virtual or convinience package for debian web site listing.
For example a package called 'kdeedu' contains all the educational packages like khangman,kalzium etc.
What they have done is kdeedu has dependencies on all the packages that constitute kdeedu itself.
Is that how u create a virtual package??

Hi All,
I have been trying from the last 2 days to configure my
Dell 720 (Lexmark 615) printer to work with Linux + Windows (SMB)
I am using SuSE 9.2, with CUPS.
I have finally managed to get it to work perfectly on Linux, and
on Windows using the Adobe Generic Postscript Printer.
On Linux, I have it setup the printer through CUPS,
with the appropriate Lexmark driver. (Color works fine)
On Windows, I could only set it up, with the Adobe driver.
The problem is that there is no Color.
I …
[View More]have the Windows Driver for the printer, but it does not
seem to work with CUPS.
Any ideas on how I can get color working, or better, if
I can get the native Windows Driver to work ?
Also, on the cups site, the windows driver is not available
for download (??)
Thanks.

Dear Friends,
Has anyone from the group actually used the Epson LX-300 dot matrix
printer on Linux, with good print quality in Open Office, Evoluion and
other software? If so which is that Linux version?
After finally managing to get a printout in Open Office, I am again
stuck in Evolution. It does not print. It not only throws out the paper
but the empty roller keeps rolling for some time and I am scared it may
cause overload to the motors or control circuit. Both these programs are
too good …
[View More]but its a pity they can't print decently. I even downloaded OO
1.1.3 from the net but it still does not improve print quality, which is
terrible. LX 300 is a very common SOHO printer.
Regards,
Rony.
