Re: [SLUG] Win4Lin vs VMWare
Hey John, Win4Lin actually runs Windows, which is what it really has over VMWare. This means speed is drastically increased. VMWare is trying to do something different to Win4Lin: emulate operating systems -- not just windows, but many, in a virtual environment. My understanding of Wine is that it is a specific *windows* emulator -- that is, it emulates the windows environment for a windows application to run in it. I have reviewed Win4Lin, though not inlight of VMWare and Wine: http://www.linuxworld.com.au/article.php3?tid=8aid=5 Gavin Sherry LinuxWorld.com.au Editor ]}=== __ _ / / (_)__ __ __ / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / . . . t h e c h o i c e o f a //_/_//_/_,_/ /_/_\ G N U g e n e r a t i o n . . .

That means you can run other OSes as well as Windows. I use it for Windows (it's a tad slow on my PII266) but also it's cool because I can test my Linux Router Project boot disks and see if they work. One of these days I'll install BeOS under it too.

Re: [SLUG] A Sydney Uni SLUG chapter?
Hi All, There are some very important points that Dany has raised that I would like to elaborate on. Danny Yee wrote: Just a reminder to people that there is a Redhat Linux mirror at ftp.anatomy.usyd.edu.au and a Debian mirror at ftp.usyd.edu.au (The anatomy mirror is only accessible from within the NSW RNO.) Unis don't pay for downloads from mirror.aarnet.edu.au but do pay for downloads from say RedHat or Netcraft or gnu sites. Those in unis may not realise this and unis don't really take the trouble to let their students or staff know. Their costs are rising and if we are not carefull well I think it would be a good idea to have a web page like http://freesoftware.usyd.edu.au/ with information about these and other free software resources within the University. This is something a Sydney University Free Software Users Group might maintain. All unis should get together and have a common website for this (aarnet?) so that no matter what uni you are from you'll know where to find gnu, Linux stuff etc. Some universities in the US have their own customised Linux distributions, see e.g. http://sulinux.stanford.edu/ SULinux stands for Stanford University Linux. SULinux is a version of Linux, based upon the standard RedHat distribution of Linux, that has been pre-configured to work safely and securely within the Stanford computing environment. Stanford has added its own packages (in RPM format) to the Redhat version of Linux as a means of achieving that goal. As we get more and more desktop GNU/Linux systems within the uni, we might want to start doing something like this too. One of the huge advantages of Linux over Windows or Macs is in client auto-configuration and maintainance, but I haven't seen that brought together in a nice integrated package yet. We have a new sys admin in Science here now who is far more aware of Linux than previous ones. First thing he asked me was whether I had been keeping up with security patches. I can see that as more newbies put Linux in (Unis, whereever) holes will open up. I don't think any uni yet has guidelines or help for students and staff in setting up their Linux boxes securely. I don't want the uni telling me I should use so-and-so distro but I see a future need for them to possibly probe and where neccessary provide advice and assistance in security. Its an area where Uni sys admins need to work together and SLUG and a Syd Uni chapter could help.

Here is how I think it is - someone correct me if I am wrong. VMWare: attempts to virtualise the PC by providing software simulations of most hardware (bar the CPU) and emulates a CPU running in protected mode by trapping various calls. Fairly slow. Wine: attempts to map Win32 functions to their X/Linux equivalent. Fairly fast as it does minimal CPU emulation (it does some because not all registers are available in user space under Linux) Win4Lin: provides a set of drivers so that Windows ends up accessing a standard X screen/keyboard/mouse. CPU stuff isn't touched; probably in between Wine and VMWare in terms of speed. I have reviewed Win4Lin, though not inlight of VMWare and Wine: http://www.linuxworld.com.au/article.php3?tid=8aid=5 Interesting, thanks for URL. I think though that if Win4Lin provides .rpm and .deb most people would say it is a fairly advanced install. I am not sure that providing a tar file of binaries really buys you anything. With a .rpm and .deb you can at least ensure they have installed any dependant programs, etc. The second disadvantage, SysV startup script assumed, is probably an advantage. I think only Slackware provides the BSD startup mechanism (though if you really want to go it alone, you can do the same in every distribution). Being able to tell people /etc/init.d/foo command is nice and simple.

True, but that is a way of applying any arbitrary regex...
Comes in very handy for doing lots of other things too.
More complicated, but more powerfull.
whereas in awk, the field delimiter (-F option) is already a regex

Yes
Go to new place you want to put the stuff.
Create new directory new
cd new
cp -r /path/to/old/* #copy recursively the original stuff
ls #check it is there
cd /path/to/old
cd .. # up one level, of course use cd /path
mv old old-2 # shift old aside slightly
ln -s /path/to/new old # make the link
du -s old-2# check size of original
du -s old # compare to new
if paranoid you can find on each sub-dir and pipe into a file, then
run that program (which I can not remember at present - aaah = diff)
that compares the contents of two files.
Check any apps that work across the link. Occassionally some will not
work.

[SLUG] PPTP via IPMASQ
Has anyone had any success getting PPTP (point to point tunneling protocol) to work over IPMASQ? or is this one of *those* protocols that IPMasq can't do? I've got a Linux box acting as the dial-out gateway for a small Lan. On the lan there are doze boxes that browse the net, use https (ssl) etc etc no problem. However one of them has pptp on it and tries to connect to a remote site. I see outgoing packets from the doze box and what looks like outgoing and incoming packets on the Linux gateway but no incoming packets get back to the doze box. The doze box can ping the remote pptp server so the end-to-end network is ok for icmp and ip, and I've cut the ipchains setup down to the minimum for testing, I.E ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.10.0/24 -j MASQ I moved the modem to the doze box to check the pptp setup and it connects no problem when the modem is directly connected to it.

Re: [SLUG] Perl Books
It's still O'Reilly, but the Perl CD Bookshelf is pretty good value if you don't mind reading it on your computer (you could always print bits out). You get 6 books on cd (Learning Perl, Learning Perl on Win32, Programming Perl, Advanced Perl Programming, Perl Cookbook and Perl in a Nutshell) plus a dead-tree version of Perl in a Nutshell. The cost is slightly less than the cost of the dead-tree versions of Learning Perl and Programming Perl combined (can't remember exactly... about $130 I think). The license is good, too. It allows you to make as many copies as you like, as long as you're the only one using them. So you can copy it to your work PC, home PC, laptop etc... Plus it's in simple HTML, so it works in just about any browser. I found the books themselves to be pretty good, although I haven't read them all yet. Unfortunately though, I can't compare them to any other publisher's Perl material.

If there won't be huge numbers of files:
cat /path/to/dir/* results
If you want to do something more with each file:

Are there any other alternatives that popped up lately ? Programming books dont HAVE to be over $50 ... I wonder why they're often double that of many other books .. because they have a shorter lifespan ? Hmm .. So can anyone recommend an alternative source of geek books other than OReilly or is the price really worth ORA content ? You get what you pay for, simple as that. O'Reilly *IS* good. Full Stop.

[SLUG] Telnet from the Borg
I have just discovered that when I use M$ telnet to access a Linux box, when I close the connection the netstat -a shows the connection as CLOSE with details of the established socket rather then as LISTEN with no socket details. The effect of this is that I cannot establish another telnet connection to that port. How can I clear that entry from the netstat table short of rebooting the Linux box? It doesn't seem to want to time out.
