Re: [Wlug] tutor / newbie
by d.maly＠ieee.org
Yes, am looking for a tutor to teach in my home.
I'm in Holden -- going north on 31 towards Wachusett.
My son is 13 ... and his friends don't talk much about PCs ... except
that they seem to be active IM-ers.

[Fwd: Re: Tutor / irc / newbie]

Andy,
I also sent this message to WLUG but didn't see it in the Digest. Would
like to see it included because it has more detailed info.
Thanks,
Doug

The tutor is for my son. I have managed to keep our two computers up to
date -- am now running Ubuntu 6.04. I want to teach more to my son, but
am getting beyond my abilities. I have some administrative work ... I
need to share resources, find some drivers ... then move onto setting up
an email server. From there I have some applications I want to start
setting up, like a video editor and ham radio apps.
Thanks for the links, they are new to me.
I had problems with IRC, which I have not used before. I made it to
http://freenode.net/faq.shtml
I got NickServ to look like it was alive in GAIM. However, in the
previous link, the section about registering said this:
Register your IRC nick:
*/msg nickserv register <your-password>*
and I don't know what to do with this. Can you send this to NickServ
through GAIM?? Also, the command seems to be registering a nickname ...
but the register command is followed only by a password ... no mention
of username/nickname.
Thanks,
Doug

Upcoming Topics
by Mike Perry
I had a few ideas kicking in the back of my head for a meeting topic. By
no means am I volunteering to give a talk on this, however I thought it
would be a good idea to toss out. </end-disclaimer>
How about a talk on port forwarding? The talk could include tunneling
via program (like the old school datapipe proggy) and more appropriately
the finner points of SSH port forwarding. Other peripheral topics could
be including such as: port knocking, alt mechanisms of ssh
authentication, and X11 forwarding.
Just a thought...
Cheers,
Mike

Early Reminder: Meeting June 7th - Sybase on Linux
by Andy Stewart
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
HI Everybody,
I want to send out this early reminder about our upcoming WLUG meeting.
It will be held on Wednesday, June 7th at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid
room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA.
At this meeting, Patrick Enright from Sybase Inc. will be talking about
Sybase on Linux. Patrick was kind enough to send me a bunch of Sybase
tee shirts, CDs, posters, etc. which I'll bring to the meeting and give
away to the membership.
After the meeting, we'll go out and have pizza, soda, and great
conversation at the Tech Pizza Restaurant on Highland Street.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Andy

I was at the meeting in April or May, but, unfortunately, haven't had
time for the list or for meetings since then.
At the time, I was looking for help setting up an IMAP server. I
eventually got that working with Debian Sarge, Postfix, UW-IMAP, and the
howto at:
http://howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge
I think everything is working now, although I haven't switched my MX
record to this server yet, but I'm still lacking a webmail interface.
What do you guys like for webmail? Is there any particular reason why
you like one package over another?

Filesystem usage
by Mike Perry
Hi there,
I am curious on some statistics and I was wondering you could help me
out. I'm wondering what the output of the following command is on your
system:
root@chao:/tmp# cd /
root@chao:/# du --max-depth=1 -h
4.2M ./bin
253K ./dev
36M ./etc
336M ./lib
0 ./mnt
436M ./opt
0 ./srv
18K ./tmp
0 ./sys
743M ./var
3.8G ./usr
38M ./boot
22G ./home
900M ./proc
9.0M ./sbin
4.5M ./root
0 ./media
0 ./initrd
28G .
The system I ran on above is an ubuntu desktop machine that hasn't been
rebuild in over a year closer to a year and half.
For comparison a relatively stock ubuntu machine I have looks like:
4.4M ./bin
103K ./dev
12M ./etc
167M ./lib
0 ./mnt
0 ./opt
8.0K ./tmp
0 ./sys
209M ./var
1.6G ./usr
19M ./boot
2.3M ./home
513M ./proc
9.9M ./sbin
260K ./root
0 ./media
0 ./backup
0 ./initrd
2G .
Thanks,
Mike
