[SLUG] Nokia Mobile VPN client and Freeswan
Afternoon all! Probably a long shot but does anyone know if it's possible to setup Freeswan so it will accept VPN connections from the Nokia Mobile VPN client. Apparently it works with Cisco 3000 Concentrators and Checkpoint VPN-1 as well as the Nokia IP VPN gateways. TIA. -- Simon Wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I don't use ipsec anymore - Openvpn all the way. Anyway, I think you just need the ipsec stuff with the nat traversal patches which openswan integrated about the time it was created. So it should be nice and easy to get working. In an IPsec kinda way good luck :) dave -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Sydney Morning Herald and RealPlayer
Hi all, I'm a subscriber to SMH (paper version) and read their site each day. Today I went to look at some video on their site and found that RealPlayer was not available. I checked the video settings (on their site) and it showed only Win Media Player as an option! Gasp, Shock!! I've e-mailed them to denounce this treachery (MPlayer is not happy with the site and I can't use it to see any of the WMP video - woe is me). I've received an e-mail, to which I've replied, in which they say: * Hi Patrick, Please copy and paste the below web address as it is a Help guide to playing videos. The site does allow for Real Player to be used : http://media.smh.com.au/?category=newsrate=5266rid=16564sy=smhsource=smh.com.au%2Fnews%2Fworld%2Facid-and-arrests-as-gaza-evacuation-erupts%2F2005%2F08%2F18%2F1123958181927.htmlt=3IPKS9ac=helpplayer=wm6ie=0flash=0 Thanks, Steve Rusmir, Customer Service Agent - Fairfax Digital Fairfax Digital Level 3 Wharf 7 Pirrama Road Pyrmont NSW 2009 http://www.fairfaxdigital.com.au/ * Now, I've checked the site with FC3, Ubuntu and SimplyMepis, as well as W2K and IE (including XP and IE at work) and... I still get the same option: WMP only. Whilst I think this should be sufficient evidence to show that some one is not seeing what I'm seeing, I'm curious as to whether any other SLUG'ers have come across this? As I said, I can't get MPlayer to shake hands and be friends, so at the moment I'm stuck - though I have written back to them with my 'evidence' and shall be following this through with them about this outrage :) (I'd be happy if others write friendly letters to Steve about this too). I'd be very happy if someone else could confirm what I see.

Hi Sridhar,

FAM is the File Alteration Monitor. I believe it monitors files to see if they
have changed. Konqueror uses FAM to provide dynamically updated file views.
FAM runs as a process in the background, constantly checking for changed
files. The problem is that it can have a propensity to go rogue and eat up
100% of your CPU.
The only solution, AFAIK, is to restart the daemon when this happens. I don't
know what it's called on Fedora, but on my Gentoo system it's called famd.
In that case, I'd run service famd restart from a root terminal.
Alternatively, you can use whatever GUI tool Fedora has to manage services.

[SLUG] RedHat at UOW
Hi, I have a colleague from Uppsala University, Sweden. He uses ITK/VTK for data processing and manipulation of Medical Images. He currently has a post-doc position which is shared between UOW and a Sydney hospital. He's informed me that UOW would not let him use his RedHat (Fedora Core 3) machine on the campus network because they only allow for approved OSes to connect to the network. Does anyone have any ideas about how to appeal this decision/policy? I completed a postgrad course at UOW. In all my time there I never managed to get any response from the IT department with regards to policy.
