    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.ilugc/75575</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Creating products is not hard if you have around 7 years of experience
programming and solving hard problems.

The reason India does not have any worthwhile product companies is
that all the people I find here are too scared of
 doing great things; they are constantly slavishly following the
environment or trying to play safe.

This does not work. No it does not. By not being globally competitive
and by fearing to speak the truth and live
 by the truth you don't get very far.

Of course you avoid some immediate inconveniences but in the long run
you live somebody else's life and die a
 loser.

It is much better to die in the battle of living by one's values than
to simply play second fiddle.

I don't think it is easy to change.

K7 took 17 years to establish itself as a product brand, and even
today they are not the world's best.

Zoho and Vembu and few others are almost there but even they aren't top brands.

Only developed nations seem to produce product brands. But I dunno a
single Japanese brand in IT wo&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

    <title>How to edit a file in a web interface?</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.ilugc/75571</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;In this tutorial I am talking about file editing in the backend as
that is what gets things going when you
 write a web interface.

Even if you are developing a user interface for making your product
user friendly the main backend operation
 is file editing.

So I have done quite a bit of this since the general mime for my
product is web panel for configuration
 and statistics and all the backend file manipulations are performed
by user input in the web panel.

Editing a file can be done in many languages, even C. But who will
write a C CGI?

I use perl and use it extensively. And you can directly edit a file
using perl CGI.

But I did something better.

I use Tie::File which is a standard perl module for manipulating files.

Basically it ties the file into a perl array using which you can
remove lines, add lines or edit lines
 using the same perl functions you use for array elements.

This does not make things really simple but I live with it.

I don't think there is a better way.

How do you do it?

I also&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi,

Just found this in the Anna University web site. I was surprised to
find that there is an elective paper titled "Ethical Hacking &amp;amp;
Forensics" and that the recommended book is by Ankit Fadia. I think
this says a lot about the quality of the course itself..

Ankit Fadia related links:

http://attrition.org/errata/charlatan/ankit_fadia/

The term "Ethical Hacking" is IMO not a good term :

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Okay this tutorial will cover how you can get packets into you network.

Not as replies or ACK packets to outbound traffic but hosting local
apps which can be accessed from the
outside world.

I dunno a single Indian company that is doing web hosting or any
hosting of applications with success.

There is a big player called Ctrl-S in Hyderabad but according to me
they are not a technical outfit just like
 any other Indian company. Started by people who are more business
focused than technically motivated
 the company does not seem to be making big inroads in local data
centers and stuff.

Even if you take God forsaken Reliance, Airtel, Tata or our own Sarkai
BSNL, they all suffer from technical
 incompetence in equal measure.

Anyway let us leave aside big boys that host websites, cloud and
applications with real public IP and stuff.

I have successfully run my mail server with an optic fiber static IP
block and nowadays I have at least
 3 machines in America which I can access publicly; so I have no
trouble&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

    <title>dynamic DNS a solved problem anymore</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.ilugc/75538</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;I happened to get dynamic DNS updates working beautifully.

Thanks to a free Hurricane DNS service. http://dyn.he.net

All you have to do is purchase a domain either from a typical low
quality Indian
 player like net4india or anyone say register.com, and remove all the NS
 type records. You only need to have the NS pointed to ns1.he.net.

And then you have to go ahead and add the domains and the IP address using
 the DNS A record.

If you have dynamic DNS, then you have to generate a key. Once you have that
 whenever you send a HTTP request in the form,

http://domain:key-U72Z3M8gumY5etPau2IXcQ&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;public.gmane.org/nic/update?hostname=domain

then the IP is automatically gleaned from the packet header and updated in the
 database.

Obviously this update program should run in the machine which is
behind the dynamic IP.

Now, anywhere in the world you can reach the dynamic IP using the domain name
 you pointed to.

Plain and simple.

In other words, your dynamic IP now has features of static IP for all
practical p&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Dear Luggies,

I am running Fedora 16 in my HP laptop and everytime during boot up i get
this error

Starting LSB: Builds and install new kmods from akmod packages
Failed to start akmods.service, see " systemctl status akmods.service " for
more details  [FAILED]

Due to this failure GDM display manager takes nearly 30 seconds to start
its service, so i have to wait till i get the login screen.

After i logged in and in terminal i followed as what it said

#systemctl status akmods.service

and here is the ouput of it:-

" akmods.service - LSB: Builds and install new kmods from akmod packages

  Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/akmods)

  CGroup: name=systemd:/system/akmods.service "

How can i resolve this? i googled for this but unable to find a proper
solution. This increases my boot time.

    <title>more on firewall</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.org.user-groups.linux.ilugc/75532</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;We saw what a firewall can do at the kernel level with port numbers,
ip addresses and other filter criteria found
 in the packet headers.

It is easy to block by tcp or udp port numbers, block all ping
packets(wrong), and you could block all
 packets with TOS byte fields of TCP flags corresponding to a SYN packet.

But all that is only good for very basic firewalling.

Not very useful in the real world.

In the real world we want to block instant messaging, inspect https,
look at p2p traffic and not just block but
 allocate bandwidth fairly and so on.

These things require real engineering.

The soft of things a networking engineer is supposed to do.

QoS is nothing but traffic shaping or rate limiting of packets leaving
our network.

We can easily control that but what about packets coming to us?

Nothing much we can do there.

But with QoS we can get fairly good results in controlling network abuse.

What if there is a buffer overflow attack or router worms?

A firewall should be able to deal with such thi&lt;/pre&gt;</description>
