I have been lurking and on the horns of a dilema. The above comments got
me off the fence. (On re-reading, that is an atrocious mixed metaphor
--- natural talent!) :-)
Then general idea of proseletizing strikes me as reasonable. However, I
think it is a good idea to do as good a job as possible. Although I
admit to little direct experience with such exercises, my impression is
that they should not be lightly undertaken. In particular, I gather it
takes about ten hours preparation for one hour of finished product (and
that ratio is probabley optimistic). You have to identify your audience,
identify, rank and organize what topics should be covered, decide on how
best to utilize the time, write some sort of at least a detailed
outline, if not a full script, try dry run(s). etc.
So far, all I see is the idea that a group of well-meaning people are
supposed to show up and "wing it". Sounds like a disaster waiting to
happen. The discussion at the end of the last WLUG meeting demonstrated
little more that that there were about as many views as to how to
proceed as there were people in the discussion. Lots of chiefs, no indians.
Now I readily confess that I am very good at spotting the negative side
of just about anything. :-) (On a plane ride from Florida to
Philadelphia, I once convinved a pharmacological colleague that an idea
he was exploring made no sense at all. Years later, when Julie Axelrod
got the Nobel prize for that general concept, I had one of those "oh
shit" moments. Fortunately for me, the guy from Philadelphia, it turned
out, had dropped the issue, but not on the basis of my comments.)
The other horn of my dilema, is that I would like to help, but don't
want to appear and just be a wet blanket.
Since the "event" is right here is Shrewsbury, I'll probably show up
(since I can at least function as a "gofer", pull out power cords and
the like) but try to maintain a low profile.

RE: [Wlug] domain settings on dsl with dynamic IP and NAT (and postfix issue)
by Jim & Toni
Again, more investigation and I found the problem. Need to set the
root: alias to a non-root user in the aliases file. Postfix won't
deliver mail to the root account.
Also, I set the domain info to bellatlantic.net. Seems to do the right
things so far.
( I figure if I post what I've found, it may help someone else, right?)
Thanks.

Subject: [Wlug] domain settings on dsl with dynamic IP and NAT (and
postfix issue)
One thing I've never been sure of is what to set the domain to on my
Linux box. I'm on verizon dsl with a dynamic IP and PPPOE. I just got
a dyndns.org domain with a different hostname than what I have for the
machine. I set up the machine to run spamassassin (and to experiment).
Machine name = grizzy
Dyndns.org address = dibb.homelinux.net
Email = jntdibb(a)bellatlantic.net
What should I be using for the domain name? Specifically I'm having
trouble with some part of postfix or spamc/d. I believe an hourly cron
job is trying to send mail to 'root' which causes the following in
maillog. I can send my postfix/main.cf file if anyone is interested.

Overall, mail handling seems to work. Stuff gets out, stuff comes in,
spam gets tagged. But I need to clean some of this up.

I think this sounds like it's turning into an interesting idea. I would
be willing to help out as a cameraman or something behind the scenes,
and I do have a laptop with video out, but I would need a ride from

Re: [Wlug] Fw: RE: show
by Yury I Vashugin
tim,
it seems like we don't have enough people to run the show. maybe
different date and time would be more appropriate for people(depending,
of course, on the studio availability)...
first, we need people to produce the show. it's a commitment of half an
hour ones? a month.(could be ones in two months) is there anyone who
would like to join the venture?
second, we need a qualified show host who will lead the show and
interview guests. i'm a new to linux and i would not dare to discuss it
with my expertize.
third, there is little problem with scan converter which can be replaced
by a notebook with a video output.
a tape of the show will be available immediately after the show and can
be broadcast on any channel(depending on the amount of money, sponsorship
etc; public access channels are free). also it's a good learning tool
which can be multiplied and offered to the public. i still remember a
hot discussion on wlug about introducing linux in public schools. i was
astonished to see how college students buy c compilers for windows to do
their homework for unix/c class. isn't it something?
they know about linux but, o boy, they're scared of it!!!(wow, wow- i'm
not talking about wpi students)
good point was brought by goug. we need to know what audience we are
going to target and where. if we start the show with linux introduction
and discuss the difference between linux and commonly used operating
systems, to get people intrigued, and continuously refer people to 'that
show' then they'll know the connection, how to obtain previous
educational tapes etc.

RE: [Wlug] RE: Wlug digest, Vol 1 #683 - 6 msgs
by Keller, Tim
In my eyes, a well configured box is one where every daemon that doesn't
need to be run, is turned off. Sane firewalling rules are in place for the
services that do need to be run. Something like redhat network is
configured in cron to run once a day and pull updated patches and apply them
automagically.
You can't expect regular Joe User to become a sysadmin over night. Hence,
some forethought and automation have to be used to ensure that his box
doesn't get cracked overnight.

Well, I kind of took it on this tact. My wife really doesn't care about
linux, nor windows. When she sits down in front of the computer, she just
wants it to work as expected. Past that, she plays a few games, but mainly
it revolves around surfing the web, reading email, etc.
With that said, I think that the argument for linux has to be made on a
couple fronts.
Firstly, cost and freedom. Explain to people why linux is a better choice
than the perceived "free" copy of windows that came with their computer. I
think we should definitely explain the microsoft tax.
Second, security. Make it a point of explaining that linux is impervious to
the many worms and viruses that are running around the internet. Though we
should also caution people that a poorly configured linux box is just as
bad
(if not worse) than an bare unpatched windows machine.
Past that, we should talk to the availability of software for linux.
Later,
Tim.

Well, I kind of took it on this tact. My wife really doesn't care about
linux, nor windows. When she sits down in front of the computer, she just
wants it to work as expected. Past that, she plays a few games, but mainly
it revolves around surfing the web, reading email, etc.
With that said, I think that the argument for linux has to be made on a
couple fronts.
Firstly, cost and freedom. Explain to people why linux is a better choice
than the perceived "free" copy of windows that came with their computer. I
think we should definitely explain the microsoft tax.
Second, security. Make it a point of explaining that linux is impervious to
the many worms and viruses that are running around the internet. Though we
should also caution people that a poorly configured linux box is just as
bad
(if not worse) than an bare unpatched windows machine.
Past that, we should talk to the availability of software for linux.
Later,
Tim.

Makes sense to me, Tim. Easy replacement is the selling point, and in
some ways it's been the stumbling block to my converting entirely to
linux. I still use Windows for a couple of tasks that either can't be
done in linux (yet) or I haven't figured them out in linux yet
(unsupported scanner).
Show people that they can do the things they need to do with a minimal
amount of effort and without having to pay microsoft, and there will be
plenty of converts. Most of the things that most people do with their
computers can now be done in linux without having to read a manual, and
people need to know that.

domain settings on dsl with dynamic IP and NAT (and postfix issue)
by Jim & Toni
One thing I've never been sure of is what to set the domain to on my
Linux box. I'm on verizon dsl with a dynamic IP and PPPOE. I just got
a dyndns.org domain with a different hostname than what I have for the
machine. I set up the machine to run spamassassin (and to experiment).
Machine name = grizzy
Dyndns.org address = dibb.homelinux.net
Email = jntdibb(a)bellatlantic.net
What should I be using for the domain name? Specifically I'm having
trouble with some part of postfix or spamc/d. I believe an hourly cron
job is trying to send mail to 'root' which causes the following in
maillog. I can send my postfix/main.cf file if anyone is interested.
Oct 14 13:01:01 grizzy spamd[1921]: connection from grizzy [127.0.0.1]

Here's another example of something wrong.

to=<root(a)grizzy.grizzy>,
relay=none, delay=1, status=bounced (Name service error for
grizzy.grizzy: Host

Overall, mail handling seems to work. Stuff gets out, stuff comes in,
spam gets tagged. But I need to clean some of this up.

HI everybody,
I'm still quite enthusiastic about this opportunity, but unfortunately I
cannot make it on October 21st (Tuesday is generally a bad night for me). I
will be looking forward to reading the e-mails from people who do make it on
that date.
Please keep us posted!
Andy
