I am not very particular to linux security only. But since this forum is about linux so, I thought of asking about security in terms of linux.

What kind of activities are going in Delhi/NCR with regard to computer and network security ?? regards abhi On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 1:30 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Send ilugd mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of ilugd digest..." > > > Please trim replies before posting. > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
