How reliable is the ls -l listing. In other words is it possible to modify a file and leave false timestamp on it. Thanks, -- Michael Long <mlong(a)datalong.com>

http load generators
by twg3＠attbi.com May 20, 2003

May 20, 2003

Does anyone have any recommendations of open source tools for generating very high volume http traffic simulating large numbers of clients form multiple IP addresses? I did a search on sourceforge and most of the projects have not released any new code in 18 months or more - so not sure of status on most of them. I need to test an application that uses HTTP as its transport layer (but not HTML) so open source tools would allow the customizations I need, with out haveing to write everything from scratch.

scanner help
by Bill Mills-Curran May 20, 2003

May 20, 2003

I have a new Epson 1660 scanner, and I'm having difficulty getting it working with the sane drivers. Here's what I have thus far... 1. lsusb worked immediately. Here's some of the output: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Virtual Hub Device Descriptor: <snip> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04b8:011e Seiko Epson Corp. Device Descriptor: <snip> Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03f0:0317 Hewlett-Packard Device Descriptor: <snip> (I recently unloaded & loaded the USB & printer modules, and the device numbers for the printer (HP) and scanner (Epson) changed.) 2. sane-find-scanner: found USB scanner (vendor = 0x04b8, product = 0x011e) at device /dev/usb/scanner0 This did not work until I added this to the /etc/modules.conf file and modprobe'd "scanner": options scanner vendor=0x04b8 product=0x011e 3. My /etc/sane.d/epson.conf file has: usb /dev/usb/scanner0 (Is that right? I did try some other devices) I also tried usb 0x04b8 0x011e No luck 4. I chmod'd (666) /dev/usb/scanner*. 5. xsane always fails. Here are some of the messages. > xsane no devices available > xsane epson:/dev/usb/scanner0 Failed to open device 'epson:/dev/usb/scanner0': Operation not supported. Any suggestions? TIA, Bill P.S. I'm running stock Red Hat 8.0. (I have installed the ALSA sound modules.)

Xfer mail from Outlook to...
by Stephen C. Daukas May 19, 2003

May 19, 2003

Anyone out there know how to get email out of Outlook/Exchange and into something else? I use outlook at work, and also at home when doing stuff for work, but want to get all that stuff into a flat file similar to what UNIX uses (used?), which is also similar to what Eudora uses. In other words, I want to get away from Outlook/exchange all together and get into a format that is easily manipulated by scripts or easily imported into other email applications. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Steve

Clarification: location of next meeting
by Andy Stewart May 14, 2003

May 14, 2003

HI Everybody, There was a minor error on the WLUG home page that might have caused some confusion. The next WLUG meeting is in a new location, that being Olin Hall room 107. FYI: I'm told that the lobby area of Salisbury Labs is/will be undergoing renovation, hence we cannot use that room for the entire summer, so we'll be in Olin Hall 107 for the next few meetings. My apologies if there was any confusion. Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org
