Chandrasekar who is the co-founder and CEO of Exodus Communication Inc., Silicon Valley, USA. He has given a fund of Rs.1 crore for this centre with the primary purpose of Indianising the Internet and develop entrepreneurship quality among students. Currently we are working in the area of "Network Security -- Cryptography", Tamil Search Engine, Optical Character Recognition etc.., We are planning to form a small working group consists of various organisation like software developers, students, tamil scholars etc.., to discuss the various issues related to Indian Language Computing and to develop Indian Language tools (especially tamil) for Internet. Hope our some of the ilugc members will be interested in participating the activities of our centre atleast through email. Also Coming December 21st (tuesday) we are planning to conduct a discussion meeting with Prof. Rajeev Sangal Group on Indian Language Computing and particularly with Machine Aided Translation. Prof. Rajeev Sangal and Prof. Vineeth Chaitanya are both from IIT Kanpur earlier and has been developing a open source code software called "Anusaaraka System" for translating from one Indian Lang. to Other Indian Language. CUrrently they have successfully implemented Telugu to Hindi translation. They have been working in Natural Language Processing for the last 16 years. They are coming to MIT to discuss the possibility of developing anusaaraka system for Tamil to other IndianLanguages. especially tamil to other dravidian languages. It is purely a voluntary collaborative effort with open source code following GNU's General Public License like LINUX. Further they agreed to conduct a two day seminar on this, on 22nd and 23rd Dec. 1999. IF some of the ilugc members are interested in these, they can join this seminar. There is no registration fees. Those who are interested to participate in this seminar (key focus is given how to build anusaaraka system for tamil to other indian lang.) can directly contact to my email address. with regards, mks -- ******************************************************************** M K Saravanan, Design Engineer, The AU-KBC Centre for Internet & Telecom Technologies, Madras Institute of Technology, Anna University, Chrompet, Chennai 600 044.

Also, Could we take a census decision right _now_ on when the next lug meeting is , rather than postpone it and decide very late into the month so we can decide on and make personal plans (if any) , esp. the new millenium and all that . *I* am of the opinion that none of us would really want to dabble with linux the 4th saturday this december. Speaking for myself, *I* would *NOT* attend a meeting the 4th saturday , but would rather be out some place partying ,... so I imagine the 3rd saturday , maybe even the second (?) would be more agreeable to most luggers .... but its left to the rest of you , / list admin to sort out details and other triviliaties. Suffice it at this point to say that *I* will not attend *any* meeting(s) etc *anytime* after the 3rd saturday this month and before say the second weekend of January 2000 . And of course, not to lose focus of this mail , here's request #3 for minutes of last meeting .... Someone *PLEASE* post it sometime ... Thanks - Ravi. --- ravikant@giasmda.vsnl.net.in --- Send e-mail to 'ilugc-request@aero.iitm.ernet.in' with 'unsubscribe' in either the subject or the body to unsubscribe from this list.

I'd like to know how many people met up / what you guys talked about / any installations ? / any ideas for the next meeting ? Also , do we want the next meeting the 3rd or 4th saturday of Dec ? I also think all of the IITians are on end sem holidays ... If thats true and not *one* of you guys can take *5* minutes off to write *one* email telling the rest of us what you did , ... its a shame. Please note that I have nothing against IITians ; just that you guys are relatively "free" as compared to work going older people on the list ... I'm about ready to give up ... I imagine I would give up before request 10 or so ... which is another 6 days - my point is , will you even remember what you guys did so long back ? If someone cares , well post your version of the minutes , however short/badly written , it will *still* elicit a thanks from me, if not from anyone else , as it seems no one else seems to give a damn about what happens at ilugc meetings... amen - Ravi. --- ravikant@giasmda.vsnl.net.in --- Send e-mail to 'ilugc-request@aero.iitm.ernet.in' with 'unsubscribe' in either the subject or the body to unsubscribe from this list.

This means there should be no IP level connectivity between n/w using 192.168 and the outside world. You may use TCP ofcourse. This means your gateway should be explicitly configured to drop packets from your 192.168 n/w destined for any valid Net IP address. Also your router should not propogate routes to these addresses to the outside world.

Dr. Sriram ( as always the original - no doubt about that !! ) specified a "-P tcp" in the ipfwadm command line. So let's assume a user on a Win9x machine in the 192 subnet points the browser at www.hotmail.com . The Win9x machine, we assume, is already configured to use the gateway as the primary namerserver. So it sends a packet ( UDP, right ? ) to get the IP address for www.hotmail.com . And the gateway gets the IP in the usual manner. I hope this is what happens. Now if the Win9x machines had their nameserver IP set to say 202.54.6.1 ( vsnl's nameserver ), then the machines would no longer be able to browse using website names right ? RHL 6 and above I think comes with ipchains instead of ipfwadm. But will we still have to use those "/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o" lines to enable services like ftp, CuSeeMe through the masquerading host ? Any plans for the millenium at ilugc ? regards mani sridhar --- Send e-mail to 'ilugc-request@aero.iitm.ernet.in' with 'unsubscribe' in either the subject or the body to unsubscribe from this list.

But > will we still have to use those "/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp.o" lines to > enable services like ftp, CuSeeMe through the masquerading host ? > ftp through a masquerading gateway is always tricky. unlike almost all other services, ftp uses multiple connections (sockets/ports) for a single link. so, if machine a ftp's to machine b, a will first open a connection (on the standard ftp port 21) of machine b. now, if a issues a ls command, machine b will open a connection back to machine a and send the directory listing over this connection. this all works fine in normal setups. if there is an intervening masquerading gateway, this wont work. say, g is the gateway, then b thinks the ftp is coming from g (though it is actually coming from a; but then, only a and g know this); so, when a opens ftp, b thinks g has opened an ftp. when a does an ls, b will try to open a data connection to g and since g does not have an ongoing ftp to b, it will not accept the ls data; this will show on the a-(g)-b ftp screen as ls failed or some such. the good old solution to this is to issue the passive directive in the ftp session. then, when an ls command is issued by a, b will not open the data connection, but wait for a to open a data connection and then send the ls data over this. this connection also needs to be opened up for masquerading in the gateway. then, ls will work like normal. the other way to do this is to have ip_masq_ftp (i have not used this myself, so my comments below may be totally false). this module running on the gateway accepts the ls data connection from b and passes it along to a. in this case, of course, the passive declaration is not needed. sriram (the original) --- Send e-mail to 'ilugc-request@aero.iitm.ernet.in' with 'unsubscribe' in either the subject or the body to unsubscribe from this list.

Tcl/tk is used when you want to write quick gui applications . Perl is used when you want to make use of its regular expressions / pattern matching /replace features Perl has taken advantage of tk , i think you have perl-tk to write gui applications in perl too . With Tcl/tk the code you write is more readable , perl is usually for write-once applications , it is difficult for a third person to read and understand the code .. You also have Incr Tcl/tk , you can write object oriented code using classes and oo concepts . i think perl also supports objects the most important adv of tcl/tk is its extendablity or ability to act as glue language .. you can write code in C C++ java and then integrate it with tcl/tk shell .. e.g write complex apps in C like algorithms which require speed, integrate it with tcl shell .. write a tk gui interface for the C app .. this feature makes it very useful tool and widely used for automated testing for more complete info http://www.sunworld.com/swol-10-1997/swol-10-scripting.html Harish -----Original Message----- From: K Sambaiah To: ilugc@aero.iitm.ernet.in Date: Wednesday, December 08, 1999 4:56 PM Subject: Scripting languages and dilema >Hi All, > This is not directly related to Linux (related stuff).

One thing you can do is to set the From: header to the mails you send to the list to be the one from which you subscribed. There ought to be a configuration option - mutt allows me to do so. For example, I am subscribed from binand@retortsoft.com, but I send/receive mails from a machine called jediland.bombay.retortsoft.com. So I set in my .muttrc the line set hostname=retortsoft.com and my posts appear as though from binand@retortsoft.com. In pine, you have to set the configuration option user-domain. Note that this works only if your login ID is the same on both the machines. If your local machine is using qmail as the MTA, then put the following variables in your environment: MAILHOST=domainfrom.to.send MAILUSER=useridatdomain QMAILINJECT=f and the mails you send will appear as though from useridatdomain@domainfrom.to.send If your login id's are the same at both the hosts, then the MUA configuration is the best, though.

People, rise and awake - few things that *badly* need addressing - I shall take the liberty of doing so , in case you feel what I said is wrong , go ahead and flame - we shall have a logical,reasoned-out brainstorming session on why you need to follow a few *basic* courtesies|guidelines : 1] List Admin [LI] - Is it possible to configure Majordomo to block/strip emails of the LI footers if the mail comes in already with an LI footer attached to it ? - *I* think a filter needs to be setup - General Opinion shall prevail - Also, Could we trim the LI footer itself? - Do we really need *that* long a footer , especially if 50% of the people refuse to use basic etiquette and choose to Send in a mail that has 4 new lines added to an existing 80 lines , 12 or 16 of which comprise of 3 or 4 LI footers , respectively. 2] Fellow Listers - Consider the following when you make each post to the list without taking the few extra 5 seconds that it does with *any* decent editor - there's a win32 port for vim , so windows users stop whinging and check out http://www.vim.org/ - to snip mails and remove unneccessary junk ... LI footers - I dont think everyone needs to be given 5 doses of the footer in one email ... Think of "wasted bandwidth" , "annoyance caused to fellow listers" , "inconvenience to others" , "spoiled reputation|image" and their significance when you make a post to Linux-India. In this regard - I urge you to readand make yourself *completely* familiar with *atleast* what follows , if not the entire file - http://www.tux.org/lkml/index.html - the FAQ for the Linux-Kernel Mailing List. 3] There were *some* efforts by some people toward maintaining an FAQ - I request whoever started it to trim the following with comments from List Admin in particular towards this list itself and post it somewhere very prominently on www.linux-india.org . Read the following and Apply it to Linux-India [ any other list for that matter ] : ********Especially Article 11 of the Section 3 - *VERY* Important******** ---------Excerpted from the FAQ of the Linux Kernel Mailing List--------- Some English expressions for non-native English readers: * AFAIK = As Far As I Know * AKA = Also Known As * ASAP = As Soon As Possible * COLA = comp.os.linux.announce (newsgroup) * ETA = Estimated Time of Arrival * FAQ = Frequently Asked Question * FUD = Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt * FWIW = For What It's Worth * FYI = For Your Information * IIRC = If I Remember Correctly * IMHO = In My Humble Opinion * IMNSHO = In My Not-So-Humble Opinion * IOW = In Other Words * LART = Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool (quoting Al Viro: "Anything you use to forcibly implant the clue into the place where luser's head is") * OTOH = On The Other Hand * RSN = Real Soon Now * RTFM = Read the Fucking Manual (original definition) or Read The Fine Manual (if you want to pretend to be polite) * TANSTAAFL = There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch (contributed by David Niemi, quoting Robert Heinlein in his Sci-Fi novel 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress') * THX = Thanks (thank you) * TIA = Thanks In Advance * WIP = Work In Progress * WRT = With Respect To ------ Section 3 - Mailing list questions 1. How do I subscribe to the linux-kernel mailing list? + (David L. Parsley,RRR) It may be preferable to subscribe instead to 'linux-kernel-digest', which combines multiple postings into a large (~75k) digest form. In this way you will receive from 1 to maybe 3 or 4 mailings per day, instead of many hundreds. ;-) The main drawback of the digest version is that it is hard to reply to individual messages on the digest with standard mail clients. So its most useful to those who just wish to stay current with kernel development, but not active developers. 8. What kind of question can I ask on the list? + (ADB) The basic rule is to avoid asking questions that have been asked before, or that are irrelevant to other list users, or that are off topic. Please use your good sense. + (REG) Remember that this is a list for the discussion of kernel development. If you have some ideas or bug reports to contribute, this is the place. User space issues are not appropriate for this forum. If you find a bug in the C library or some application, it doesn't belong on linux-kernel. 10. Can I be ejected from the list? + (ADB) It is technically possible, but I have never heard of anybody being ejected from the linux-kernel list. + (REW) *But* you will if you post questions or answers that are asked and answered on this FAQ. ;-) 11. Are there any implicit rules on this list that I should be aware of? + (ADB) Here are a few implicit rules which you should be aware of: + Stick to the subject. This is a Linux kernel list, mainly for developers. + Use English only! + Don't post in HTML format! If you are using IE or Netscape, please turn off HTML formatting for your posts to the kernel list. + If you will be asking a question, before you post to the list, try to find the answer in the available documentation or in the list archives. Just remember that 99% of the questions on this list have already been answered at least once. Usually the first answer is the most detailed, so the archives contain far better information than you will get from somebody who has answered the same question a dozen times or more. + Be precise, clear and concise, whether asking a question or making a comment or announcing a bug, posting a patch or whatever. Post facts, avoid opinions. + Be nice, there is no need to be rude. Avoid expressions that may be interpreted as aggressive towards other list participants, even if the subject being treated is particularly relevant to you and/or controversial. + Don't drag on with controversies. Don't try to have the last word. You will eventually have the last word, but meanwhile you'll have lost all your sympathy credit. + Don't flame beginners that ask the wrong questions. This adds noise to the list. Send them a private mail pointing them to a source of information e.g. this FAQ. 17. There is a long thread going on about something completely offtopic, unrelated to the kernel, and even some people who are in the "Who's who" section of this FAQ are mingling in it. What should I do to fight this "noise"? + (REW, ADB) Ignore it. + (REG) Don't send a response to the kernel list under any circumstances. If you feel compelled to respond, do so privately informing the person that the message was offtopic. Or set up a procmail recipe to drop all messages for that thread: that way you'll never see the thread again. -------------End Excerpt From FAQ of Linux-Kernel Mailing List----------- Would Like/Appreciate Comments|Feedback . --- Ravi. --- Send e-mail to 'ilugc-request@aero.iitm.ernet.in' with 'unsubscribe' in either the subject or the body to unsubscribe from this list.

Most people find this date convenient. Those with exams may come late and hopefully not miss much. You do have a good excuse to study hard and finish the paper very quickly. :) Prof. Sriram has agreed to loan his new machine for the meet and we will demo corel linux, easy linux, and win linux (whatever that is), please bring the CD's (easy linux and winlinux). Srikrishnan will give us a talk on email and how it works etc. Lateral and focus folks please show us your faces from time to time. The time seems ripe now. :) Webmaster -- please put the details of the meeting up on the chennailug site. Last meeting was a damp squib literally and figuratively. Partly because of the rain and partly due to the late announcement and we had extremely poor attendance. The few who did attend chatted for a while before leaving early. prabhu --- Send e-mail to 'ilugc-request@aero.iitm.ernet.in' with 'unsubscribe' in either the subject or the body to unsubscribe from this list.

Great. I take the responsibility of bringing the winlinux cd. It's a 500+ MB installation [ there isn't a "base install" , IIRC ] that needs to be done from within windows - You boot into win 9x and run "setup.exe" which install winlinux for you - the filesystem isn't ext2 - its UMSDOS - so its *REALLY* sloooooooow to work on - it installs KDE as default X-Environment.Does *all* configuring by itself - asks little or no questions IIRC - ... my Video card isn't supported in the stock X servers AFAIK ... especially the older ones...so my winlinux installation crashed ... it installed neatly , asked me to reboot into windows , and a new icon turned up... "Boot into Winlinux" - I clicked it... and it gave me the usual boot messages...went upto .... "Starting KDE......." and period - I had to warm boot ... and well , to me mp3s are more valuable than winlinux...so out it went :) ... too lazy to figure out how to fix it so it boots into id3 ... blah blah ... so the bottomline is..! ! . there has to be windows already installed *with* 500 MB free space in the windows partition itself... well i *can* bring the windows 2000 RC 2 cd ... but I make no guarantee that winlinux 2000 [ or whatever it's called ] will install on a win 2K box . As for easylinux - I've never seen the cd(s) ...so lets just hope that whoever has it actually reads your mail and brings it ... ;) So also with corel linux... Sad that last meeting turned out that way...but i'm sure this one is gonna get greater than 40 people ...

The install was very simple - it autodetected everything except my video card - I have Trident 3dImage 9750 AGP with 4MB VRAM.My card is supported from XFree86 3.3.3 onwards.The setup has an option to force settings for device configurations. I forced the setting for 32bit 640x480. Here's my system configuration Pentium II 300 Mhz on 440LX motherboard 128 MB ram 8.6 GB Seagate hard disk Intex 10/100 Fast Ethernet network card (It uses RealTeck 8139 chip ) Trident 3dImage 9750 which I spoke of earlier After the setup was over I pressed the Boot WinLinux2000 button and it took me to Linux , the booting was slow (Compared to a regular Linux boot), one interesting message while booting was FAT 32 support is alpha , I think UMSDOS on FAT32 is alpha(FAT32 is supported from 2.0.34 onwards) Because WinLinux uses UMS Dos partition ,file system access is a bit slow.(I found it very slow - I use reiserfs 3.5.12 which supports journalling and is a balanced tree based file system and it is faster than ext2.It also supports dynamic resizing of partitions -- Suse 6.3 ships with reiserfs ). The install of Win Linux took about 450MB of hard disk space ( I chose full install) , I have FAT32 (Win 98) with 4K cluster size.Overall I'd say it is ok for newbies who want to try out Linux.An option to setup up a separate Linux partition would be nice. WinLinux 2000 which chip gave ships with linux-2.2.6 To my horror I found that only 64 MB of my RAM was detected.I had to edit winlinux.bat in c:\Linux\winlinux and pass argument to the kernel to fix it.While booting up it boots directly into GUI and KDE is the default. You can access your windows partition from the directory named DOS.

Hi guys, Lets not speak of 'converting'. It has to be 'discovering'. It has to be accepted that in a corporate environment a heterogeneous environ is mostly used as an OS will be good in one thing and the other in another aspect. As for home users, despite the fact that there ARE lot of stuff from Linux for the desktop, Win is still preferred. IMHO, it would be better not to introduce Linux as an alternative, but as a powerful OS - which after using for sometime people will realise that it is better than what they have bene using till now. What I mean is, let them form their opinion and better we do not say for/against as it will be taken as a biased view only, especially with people who hjad been using Win for quite some time. No flames please, Iam a die-hard Linux fan myself. - Thanks Viveca Software Oommen 236, Huntington Ave, Suite 412 Boston, MA 02115 Phone (Work):(617)578-0956 email:oommen@viveca.com oommen@imaginetechnologies.com --- Send e-mail to 'ilugc-request@aero.iitm.ernet.in' with 'unsubscribe' in either the subject or the body to unsubscribe from this list.

If you have any other doubt mail me.Send your XF86Config file and I'll edit the modelines for you ,but I can do it only after 20th December -- I have got exams till then.

This should show up at chennailug.org soon too. Could someone subscribed to the linux-india list please forward this post there ? ------------------ ILUG-Chennai met at 1530hrs., Saturday, 18th. December 1999. Twenty odd attended a meeting that reminded one of ilugc's early days. On the agenda were demonstration installs of WinLinux 2000, EasyLinux 1.2 and Corel Linux Open Circulation Version 1.0, and a talk on electronic mail (the works) by Chitoor Srikrishnan. Srikrishnan's talk was well-received. Starting with an illustrative conversation with a hypothetical MTA listening at port 25 on a Unix box, the talk proceeded with mention being made of the protocols currently in use (SMTP, POP, IMAP et al.) the various MTAs available, mailing list software, the dangers posed by open relays, the annoyance of spam, the existence of blacklists, and possible remedies. Questions, related to the talk and otherwise, peppered the session. Ironically, of the three projected installations, only the WinLinux 2000 install proceeded normally (well, almost, read on). After consuming space at an alarming rate on a sacrificial Windows machine, the UMSDOS-based, KDE-desktop-toting WinLinux proved surprisingly sprightly and slick. All configuration being graphical, and unfamiliar tasks such as mounting/unmounting devices being taken care of by autofs, this is a good distribution for dropping into some (a lot of) spare space on a Windows machine with the purpose of taking Linux for a test drive. Unfortunately, both EasyLinux 1.2 and Corel Linux flattered to deceive, with their installations hanging at different points. While the EasyLinux install was admirably efficient (employing the wm2 window manager, of all things !), its inability to write the boot block to disk, and stubborn refusal to yield to every attention bestowed, cleared the decks for an attempt at installing Corel's much-hyped Debian-based distribution. Again, the test machine hung, trying to detect (non-existent ?) hardware. However, having seen both distributions running earlier, it can safely be said they have a lot of potential. One worrying factor is the absence (in both distributions) of an option to proceed with a text based install. In the midst of the din and bustle, George Samuel gave an impromptu talk on reiserfs, the new filesystem which sports journalling support and a host of other very interesting capabilities. So convincing was George, that members of the audience intend giving reiserfs a try in production environments. A proposal to set up a separate, ultra-low volume announcement-only mailing list was vetoed in favour of regularly updating the web pages to reflect the schedule of future meetings. The meeting wound up with the traditional bazaar session, questions, advice, instructions and CDs being traded on the floor. - K.

Before anyone assumesi did not do my homework, let metell you i did it. The details in archives did not help me find a solution. I have two users and root in the same group "modem". I have made /dev/cua1, pppd and /usr/bin/kppp to be owned by grop "modem". pppd has setuid on. Root is able to log on to net without any difficulty - users face the problem of "pppd died unexpectedly" after connect. I tried adding debug line in options and did not successfully get to debug the problem. Can anyone help me to succesfully log the pppd process and to find a solution.

It runs ypserv for some four other linux boxes. The machine does not reboot properly. Once it boots, even root can't login. So I have to boot in single mode, configure the network and then init 3. I have checked the ifcfg files; they are all ok. I get a lot of errors when the network script is being run (like, netmask - unknown interface). Can somebody send me a working copy of /etc/rc.d/init/.d/network and /etc/sysconfig/netwrk-scripts/ifcfg* from an RHL 5.2 machine. That'll help me compare and make any changes, if necessary. One thing that worries me is the Windoze-like behavior. These problems were not there a month ago - suddenly it crops up!! (and I am sure nobody touched these config files within the last one month).

I have done some work in pvm recently.Read pvm-book.ps(I took it from www.netlib.org).It should tell you all that you need to get it running.If you interested in pvm equivalents , you can try BSP (Bulk Synchronous Parallel).If you are keenly interested in improving pvm , you can join the harness project. regards, George Samuel _________________________________________________ Get Your Free Email At, http://www.rediffmail.com --- Send e-mail to 'ilugc-request@aero.iitm.ernet.in' with 'unsubscribe' in either the subject or the body to unsubscribe from this list.
