WLUG Install Fest CDs

by Andy Stewart

Hey gang, DON'T do what I just did. My WLUG install fest CDs were quite dusty when I got them home, so I rinsed them off in water as I have done with other CDs many times in the past. However, the paint on the WLUG install fest CDs is WATER SOLUBLE and washes away very quickly in cold water. :-( Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA, USA http://www.wlug.org

If you can make it to the WLUG meeting on Thursday, you could probably pick up a copy from somebody. I don't know if Tim has any extras, but I'd make you a copy of mine if he didn't.

Hi all, How did the install-fest go? I really wanted to come, but my daughter came down with a high fever and we had to schedule a doctor's appointment. I could have come earlier than I was planning but it didn't feel right to say to my two year old, "Sorry you feel awful and need to go to the doctor, daddy can't play right now I'm going to hang out with a buch I geeks I've never even personally met" I was rather proud of myself, I only considered telling my daughter for about a second before I slapped myself in the face ("But for an android, that is a lifetime"). How many people showed up?? Wes

samba & window share names

by Dennis Payne

Is there some easy way to resolve names to their windows share. I got annoyed at typing in ip addresses and wrote a quick script to use nmblookup to get the ip address and shove it into the /etc/hosts file. Unfortunately you have to code what hosts it enters. I'd rather have it automatically do it for all machines. (Note: this script isn't quite correct. It doesn't handle some error conditions right and wipes out the /etc/hosts file. If there is interest in the fixed version let me know and I'll get it.) Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com #!/bin/bash function nmbreplacename { answer=`nmblookup $1 | grep -v querying | sed -e 's/.[0-9][0-9].$//g'` if [ `echo $answer | cut -d' ' -f1` = 'name_query' ]; then echo $1 not found else #sedexec='s/^.*zeteta.*$/'$answer'/g' #echo $sedexec if [ -z "`egrep "^.*$1.*$" /etc/hosts`" ]; then echo $answer >>/etc/hosts else sed -e "s/^.*$1.*$/$answer/g" </etc/hosts >/etc/hosts.new mv /etc/hosts.new /etc/hosts fi fi return 0; } nmbreplacename foo nmbreplacename bar

RE: [Wlug] PDA's and Linux

by Marc Hughes

I was at linux world and got to play with a zarus... One word: wow. Hardware wise, it's essentially an iPaq. But it adds an integrated keyboard and a SD slot. And even better, it runs linux out of the box. -Marc -----Original Message----- From: Wesley Allen [mailto:wallen@charter.net] Sent: Friday, February 08, 2002 4:29 PM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: Re: [Wlug] PDA's and Linux You can get an Agenda VR3 on ebay for reasonably cheap.
