[SLUG] Nomination: Billy Kwong

2005-03-23 Thread Chris Deigan
Greetings,

I'd like to nominate Billy Kwong as an ordinary committee member.

Billy has been an active member throughout SLUG installfests, codefests
and DebSIG and would, in my opinion, make a good member.

So I tried both the usb connectors on the cable into two usb ports.

We have a pair of load balanced 2Mbps SDSL lines from Activ Australia who

Our links have a 99.99% SLA so it's not 'cheap' (at about AUD$950 per 2Mbps

Oh, it's one of *those*.  That two connector thing never made much sense to

yours has the same connector (1.1mm sheath-pin from memory) you can try it
out; they're easy to make if you need one.

 So I tried both the usb connectors on the cable into two usb ports.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?  Remember that USB is a standard, and you

Subject: Re: [SLUG] Sharing IMAP Folders


David,
If you're using Outlook or OE, then try another client. In setting up
our Dovecot IMAP system, we early on dispensed with MS clients (we
run XP and 2K) - I suspect their implementation of IMAP is purely
suited for MS servers. I have used Pegasus and Eudora with varying
success, and Thunderbird with somewhat less success - but it still
works.
The problems are:
Pegasus (my current client):
1.  Doesn't support new mail folder filtering on the IMAP new mail
   folder; however they can be set up as a general rule set applied to
   the folder whenever the folder is opened.
2.  Doesn't automatically update the new mail folder with new mail if
   in preview mode. Works OK outside preview mode.
3.  Doesn't support (at least with Dovecot) creation of folders in
   which you can place folders. Folders are created with -rw--- 
   permissions, instead of drwx--.

Eudora:
1.  Not especially stable
2.  Doesn't support asking where to save sent mail (this is a unique
   Pegasus feature, i think - and saves much time)
Thunderbird:
1.  Very poor folder support
2.  No way to update folder list if you use another method of creating
   them.
Pity there's no REALLY good IMAP mail client.
Hope this helps.

[SLUG] Busybox: logread buffering output

2005-03-23 Thread Peter Hardy
First, a little bit of context:
I have a Linksys WRT54G running OpenWRT as my home gateway. Among other
things, my init scripts are launching syslogd, using the neat busybox
trick of logging to a circular buffer, giving you local logs without
writing to your flash all the time. There's a small utility called
logread to dump the contents of the buffer, or with the right option
tail the buffer, continuing to dump output as the log grows. (it's also
logging to another machine on my LAN, but that's not relevant)

Recently, while searching for something completely unrelated, I found an
article[1] describing a cute little hack for monitoring firewall logs.
The Linksys can't make any noise, but it does have a couple of
user-configurable LEDs on the front panel[2]. Who am I to resist the
lure of blinkenlights?

Modifying the linuxgazette script slightly for the nuances of the
Linksys and my firewall rules, I get the following:
-
#!/bin/sh

logread -f | \
awk '$0 ~ /DROPPED/ {
system(echo 0x01  /proc/sys/diag);
system(echo 0x00  /proc/sys/diag);
 }'
-
First of all, there really needs to be a delay between turning the LED
on and off. Unfortunately OpenWRT doesn't build busybox with usleep,
although if I get around to upgrading the firmware I'll turn it (and a
couple of other options) on first. sleep isn't much of an option as it
doesn't go any faster than 1 second. The only other alternative I can
come up with is an evil busywait loop. Any other suggestions?

Second of all, well, it doesn't work at all (my test version replaces
the two echos with one echoing to stdout), and it took a fair bit of
headscratching to figure out why. Running logread -f at a shell prompt
shows log output being dumped to the console straight away. But when
piping the output of logread -f to another program, it buffers output
and sends a half dozen lines at a time. Letting the test script run for
a minute or two then hitting CTRL-C leads to a whole bunch of output; it
looks like logread is flushing it's buffers as it quits, and feeding a
whole bunch of stuff to awk at once. I then tested this by running
logread -f , logread -f | echo and a tail of the remote syslogd's logs
side by side.

So, what can I do to get unbuffered output? I peeked in the logread
code, but my C fu wasn't up to the task, and again it basically amounts
to building new firmware. I don't suppose there's any other way to read
from a circular buffer, given the very limited toolset provided by
busybox and a small handful of utilities?
I'm also considering directing syslog to log to a named pipe, or some
arrangement with a logfile stored in a ramdisk. I'm open to any
suggestions that are much less manky though.

I believe it uses whatever is set in $myhostname (which, unless set

some main.cf directive (google?), however, you *can* change the value
of $myhostname which will change your HELO greeting, obviously.

I'd like to nominate Sara Kaan for the position of Vice President.

Sara is heavily involved in working with Linux in the education sector
and would bring excellent organisation skills and a broader Linux
community experience to the SLUG committee. In short, I think she'd make
a great VP and hope she'll accept the nomination.

Seconded.

Re: [SLUG] Nomination: Ordinary Committee Member

I'm at severe risk of being a serial nominator but I have one last one,
I promise (well, I do have two others in mind.).

The more the merrier, seriously..

I'd like to nominate Mohammad Kaan for the position of Ordinary
Committee member. I think Mohammad has the vision and energy to make a
significant contribution to the SLUG committee and community. With
significant linux and community experience as well as running his own
Linux business, Mohammad can add an extra dimension to the depth of the
SLUG committee.

Seconded.

Try adjusting the LCP_INTERVAL to a lower value, like 10.

On RedHat its stored in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0

Thank you, that seems to have cracked it.  I wonder why it was set at 80
by default.
