hey! what's wrong with holding a meeting in faridabad? i love the idea.
it is part of the NCR, and we've had people pool-in and come in from
noida, ghaziabad, nangloi to monthly meets all the time. if anyone lives
in NCR, then hugeTraveldistances+commuteTime is part and package of the
deal.

i hope several newbies from faridabad can join in as well.

a few months ago, i met some professors from agra university, who said
they wouldn't mind commuting to delhi to attend an interesting ilug-d
meet.

sudev, thanks for the hospitality, and the venue+snakes.

let's do it man! the logistics of commuting can be solved by pooling our
resources and getting together. no big deal.

see you at the meet in faridabad. and look forward to the interesting
presentations from all

 1. Sudev posts his exact Location and directions to reach there.
My office is located on the main highway. After crossing Badarpur border
carry on straight past six signalled intersections. (God help if signals
are not working that day) The third one is called Badkhal Lake turnoff
and on the fifth and sixth you will see rail-over-bridges on the right.
Carry on straight along the main highway about two kilometres after the
sixth signal you and you come to a gap in verge where you have to take a
U turn back towards Delhi. You would know it is the correct turn if
you see the GoodYear Tyre Company on your right where you take the
turn. Come back towards Delhi about 300 metres and you will see a IBP
Petrol pump on your Left. Next premises after the petrol pump are my
offices under the name Nuchem Limited and the guard will direct you to
the meeting room.
 I will post a diagram on the site once you finalise.

 2. People with their own vehicles should post the route they are going to
 follow.
 3. People who can join at the various points en-route should then mail
 personally.
 4. This will allow vehicle owners to confirm(either way once you get your
 share of people in)
Good ideas.

 5. We can try to arrange common taxi's ( the big sumo's) and share the fare

Re: [ilugd] How does Microsoft armtwist its own partners?

2004-01-12 Thread Puneet
Microsoft Monday launched a new advertising campaign designed to extend its
fact based assault on the Linux operating system.

The campaign consists of a two-page advertisement, which was featured in six
computer industry trade publications this week, that cites a 2002 IDC study
that found that Windows 2000 costs organizations less to operate for a
variety of server tasks including networking, security, and file and print
serving. Reams have been written about Windows and Linux, the ad reads,
Let's skip to the bottom line.

On the next page, the advertisement directs readers to a page on Microsoft's
Web site which contains a number of case studies and analyst reports that
tout the benefits of the Windows operating system.

The campaign is expected to run for six months, although Microsoft has not
yet decided on an end date, according to a company spokeswoman

Though Microsoft declined to say what it was spending on advertising, the
simple print advertisement is markedly different from the high budget Linux
ads that rival company IBM launched in September of last year, which were
created by New York ad agency Ogilvy  Mather and featured such celebrities
as boxer Muhammad Ali and director Penny Marshall.

The difference is telling, said Bruce Perens, a Linux advocate and one of
the founders of the Open Source Initiative. IBM's advertisement targets high
level executives, while Microsoft appears to be targeting more technical
users, Perens said.

IBM understands that the people who really need the message are at the
top, he said. I think that the IBM ad says, 'Buy Linux and save your
company.' The Microsoft ad says, 'Buy Microsoft and save your job.'

Microsoft characterized the advertisement's focus on IT professionals as in
line with the fact based campaign it has waged against Linux since summer
of last year. That's when the company's general manager of platform
strategy, Martin Taylor, vowed to reduce the level of emotion in Microsoft's
criticism of Linux. There were some emotional statements made before; we're
now on a direction to talk about the facts, he said at the time.

Monday's advertisement continues in that vein, a Microsoft spokeswoman said.
We were looking at targeting the IT pros. IBM's was a broader Linux
movement campaign, she said. It's the IT professionals who want the
facts.

According to Perens, the advertisement simply shows that Microsoft is afraid
of Linux, and give the open source operating system more credibility in the
enterprise. I think that Microsoft should continue this campaign in other
publications, he said. In fact, they should buy some TV ads; maybe a
Superbowl ad.

Package: mod-auth-shadow
Vulnerability  : password expiration
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids: CAN-2004-0041

David B Harris discovered a problem with mod-auth-shadow, an Apache
module which authenticates users against the system shadow password
database, where the expiration status of the user's account and
password were not enforced.  This vulnerability would allow an
otherwise authorized user to successfully authenticate, when the
attempt should be rejected due to the expiration parameters.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 1.3-3.1woody.1

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 1.4-1.

We recommend that you update your mod-auth-shadow package.
