-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everybody, Our next meeting will be held on Thursday, June 18th, 2009 at 7:00 PM at the Access Grid Room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. All are welcome to attend. Our guest speaker will be Shankar Viswanathan who will talk about the Open Street Map project. This promises to be a great talk that you won't want to miss! Afterwards, we'll go out for pizza and soda and the usual camaraderie that always accompanies us to that local establishment. In addition, we need to finalize our plans for the annual WLUG BBQ which is currently scheduled for Thursday, July 23rd. I am hopeful that someone will be willing to host this event. It has been very successful in previous years. If interested, please send me email and/or come to the meeting. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday!

Time and Date Stamp on Traceroute?
by E Johnson June 6, 2009

June 6, 2009

Does anyone know a quick command I can use to add a time and date stamp to traceroute? Man page for traceroute doesn't seem to have that option. Or is there a similar traceroute-type app that does incorporate this function? I need a quick app (nothing that generates a significant amount of network traffic) --where I can enter one command in terminal which will display a printout of a traceroute, to show the ISP or to show the tech in real-time when he comes out. The one I send the ISP needs the time/date in order to be effectively convincing to them. We're supposed to get 20,000 kb/s (up) here, and quite often, we're not, even with very low internet use in the PCs I'm running here. Even the download speed's choking... seems like something big right close is often are clogging the pipe. Traceroute I'm doing is only going from here to Cambridge. I did install a couple of other traceroute-type apps (such as tcptraceroute) but their man pages didn't seem to show this capability either. I liked tcptraceroute because it has a "don't fragment" option. Would like to time/date-stamp that. Thanks, Liz J

Log Rotation (Snapshot)
by Tal Cohen May 31, 2009

May 31, 2009

I'm trying to setup a secondary log rotation mechanism on on of my production systems. Right now, the system is setup to rotate logs on a weekly basis. In addition to the weekly log rotation, I also need to take hourly snapshots (i.e. just the deltas between snapshots). As part of this process, I can not delete the original file since that is being handled by the weekly log rotation and archival process. These files get pretty big, so IO and CPU are both concerns. Any suggestions?

[OT] Solaris 10 jumpstart server
by vze284qe＠verizon.net May 20, 2009

May 20, 2009

Hi All, Ok....so it isn't a Linux question, but... In a couple of weeks, I'm going to be building a jumpstart server at work. Can someone point me to the docs for this? I went to the SUN website and found a 240 page pdf file about setting up a jumpstart server. It was REALLY hard to follow. Any help would be appreciated. TIA... -Chuck

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI gang, Sorry for the late reminder, but we are having a meeting on Wednesday, May 20th, at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid Room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. At this meeting, all topics are open for discussion. I propose we come ready to discuss the relatively low quality (IMHO) of Kubuntu Jaunty, among other possible topics. We should also have a discussion about the July BBQ. Upcoming meetings are as follows: - - Open Street Map Project in June - - WLUG BBQ in July - celebrating our 12th complete year as a group. If you would care to host the BBQ, please let me know, or let us know at the May meeting. - - Tentative for August or September - legal discussion of trademarks, patents, copyright, the GPL, and a recent legal challenge to the GPL We'll go out for pizza after the meeting. See ya later, Andy - -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group (http://www.wlug.org) Chelmsford Linux Meetup Group (http://linux.meetup.com/393) Amateur Radio: KB1OIQ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFKE4OqOjiraCaOTOoRAqIWAJ9H19PEJMp12mHsNLARH0cKgw4bDwCeKo88 7KeoyhGhuV6Vr5bO3spMleE= =bMZo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

It looks like I have straightened out emailing my signed keys via caff. You should be seeing all of my emails coming through momentarily. Sorry for my tardiness but I couldn't figure out why ssmtp wouldn't work. If you don't see anything in the next hour please email me off list and I'll just send you your key directly. -- Eric Martin

KVM to SUN converter??
by Ken Jones May 18, 2009

May 18, 2009

I'm not sure what I am talking about. I know that the terminal for my SUN ULTRA1 is different than the terminal for my DELL PC. I have purchased a IOGEAR KVM switch. I would like to include the SUN machine in the set of computers that can share my one keyboard, mouse and terminal. What do I order which will make this possible? Ken Jones of Fitchburg.

Summer internship: Linux system administrator (Worcester)
by Brian Conway May 14, 2009

May 14, 2009

Hi guys, the company I work for is hiring a summer intern with Linux experience and interest in network and VoIP engineering. We're a small startup in the Worcester area, near 290 and the Pike. Experience with *any* of the following is great: Red Hat/CentOS, Asterisk, Python, PHP, networking, firewalls, and VPNs. Feel free to hit me up with questions or resumes. I don't know what computer/*NIX mailing lists at WPI are popular, but a forward would be cool, too. Thanks much. Brian Conway
