I can't say for certain that will work. Before you try that, i would try kill all instances of korganizer (logging out of kde may be best too, as i think it used load a korganizer instance in the background), backing-up korganizer's config file then start korganizer. $ cp ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc ~/.kde/share/config/korganizerrc.back $ korganizer > Since I'd rather not be without my calendar for long, does anyone have > any recommendations for a replacement program that can read the files > made by KOrganizer?

I believe almost all calendar programs can read those files (located in ~/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/*.ics: Evolution, Mozilla's calendar program, sylpheed, i think even the ipod can read those files, and probably many others.

Along those lines, I had a friend in the recruiting industry contact me regarding a Senior QA Position at Akamai technology in Cambridge. The only issue I came across for the job is the requirement of extensive Perl knowledge (something I know I don't have).

Re: [Wlug] Web Server Security To Avoid copying

It seems to not be documented very well, but it is in the wget FAQ: wget -erobots=off http://your.site.here When you get right down to it, it's impossible to prevent someone from automatically downloading your site, unless of course you pull the ethernet cable. ;-) Josh "James P.

Re: [Wlug] Web Server Security To Avoid copying

You could create a robots.txt file in the http root directory to tell automated tools not to look at some or all of your content. wget for instance does not have a flag to ignore robots.txt (based on the output of wget --help). Of course this assumes that the client is written to respect the robots.txt so it won't stop someone who is really serious. Just google robots.txt and you'll find more info. Be aware that search engines will also ignore your content. Best of luck! Mike Frysinger wrote: >On Thursday 05 January 2006 00:47, Aramico wrote: > > >>Of course not.

Of course not. People still can see the web pages, but they can not take all the file (copy the files and its subs dirs) simulatantly. regards, aramico ----- Original Message ----- From: "Theo Van Dinter" <felicity(a)kluge.net> To: "Worcester Linux Users Group" <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 12:23 PM Subject: Re: [Wlug] Web Server Security To Avoid copying > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug >

Using linux tools or apache's tools ? So you don't want people to be able to view your web pages? There's nothing different between wget and any other web browser.

Web Server Security To Avoid copying

by Aramico

Dear All, I have sites, handled by Apache Web Server on Linux. The system goes ok, no problem. But I dont want any other user can copy and take all my files using wget, teleport, etc. For example, when somebody tried to do "wget -c -r http://thisisthesites.com " user will not get any other file from its dir and its subs dir. Can I do this ? Using linux tools or apache's tools ? thanks all :) Aramico
