Do any of you use Sify Broadband Connection
i have successfully used Sify about a year back with Debian and Ubuntu. on Linux RHES 4?If anybody is
using can you tell me how do u use it? I ve got the connection from local cable operator who has given me one .exe which when installed creates one icon on desktop and when opened that application need to mention username and password to connect to the internet.
there was(at that time at least) a binary which could successfully run on a GNU/Linux system. i have tried it out and it worked. The only tragic part was that you HAD to run it as root AARG !!! A pity the authors never bothered studying SUID, SGID and the concept of running a service as a user with a /bin/false shell. They even created a very badly written init script ;-) On windows i m able to use internet You have my utmost sympathies :-) but i want to use on Linux.The local
cable operator has denied any support on Linux.So anybody in the list can guide me plz for the same.
When i had used Sify, they generally pointed me to go to a local page on their network where you could download their client for Win, GNU/Linux and even Mac OS X. Samir.A.Sanghvi
