His argument is that it may destroy binary files.

This is bogus since keyword-substitution is *off* by default.
It will occur only for files that were explicitly marked for
substitution. For example in subversion:

   svn propset svn:keywords Id Author Revision *.h *.c

As a substitute (pun intended) for the lack in this feature he gives
a hand crafted, build system dependent, manual (i.e: error prone) method.

What a lame excuse.

I'm interested to hear about this. I'd like to see more examples of
real-world problems (and their solutions)
concerning TCP/IP traffic in big networks like Technion campus.
May be although a bit info about general strategies for discovering
and fixing problems like this: Hi, I live in Canada dorms and my
Internet occasionally experiences slowness.

[Haifux] Lecture proposal : how Ethernet works ?

2008-02-05 Thread Nir Abulaffio
Since I have heared tens of lectures in Haifux, I propose to give a
lecture on the only thing I can think will interest the audience:
An explanation of how Ethernet networks work by giving examples using
etherheal (today wireshark) which is an open source sniffer.
I can show the bits in the header of every packet and how they help to
bring the Internet to work. What I will talk about (if at all) depends on
feedback I get to this mail.
-- possible items --
A basic network demonstration, from the point of view of the network,
not from a specific host,
with demonstrations using etherheal (today wireshark)
1. What is an ip packet ? and what is not (e.g. ARP)
2. Difference between tcp and udp. What is icmp,igmp.
3. Terms like MTU,TTL .
4. Examples of many different problems with actual examples from
   a working environment such as a university campus.
5. What happens if MTU is wrong.
6. How does traceroute work.
7. What is a SYN attack.
8. What is the difference between a switch and a router.
9. What is the routing table in a computer, (a host) and what is the
   routing table in a router. and a few words about routing protocols.

Hi Near

I will be glade to here such lecture.
It will be grate if you explain a bit about how to use ethereal.
Please noteice that sniffing of the cs network might not be welcomed by the 
system team of cs
