SCSI Enclosures...
by Michael Kingsbury 25 Jan '03

25 Jan '03

I'm in need of an external SCSI enclosure that can accept 1.6" SCSI drives with SCA Connections. Does anyone have any sources for such a thing that's not overly expense? I haven't seen anything on ebay... -beaker

Depending on the versions of your software, these might be usefull: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html#basic http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#files Specifically, the regex matching of the <FILES> section. If you can provide some more info, I can let you know if these would help you. What kernel rev do you use? What File System, and how big are the block sizes? How much ram is in your machine? What version of apache are you using? Do you have mod_perl installed, if so, what version of PERL are you using? Do you have a TCP stack with the syn/ack flag support? Are you using IPv4 or IPv6? Do you use 8903.11t? You're not using token ring, are you? -Setag

oracle ad :-)
by doug waud 22 Jan '03

22 Jan '03

Hi all This morning's T&G had an amusing ad from Oracle. It consisted of a large heading "Email" and then two columns Oracle and Micro$oft starting with cost per user of $60 for Oracle and $126 for Micro$oft. It then continued the comparison of other properties. However, at the bottom of the Micro$oft column was "Costs more, but you also get Melissa, Snow White, Michelangelo..." doug

.htaccess for an exception!
by Aramico 21 Jan '03

21 Jan '03

Hi All, I have several subdomain where each is put on the diffrent directory and it has one index.html for each. The thing that I want is, the visitor can only access my html file, so if they want to connect to another page where the location is the same, it must be a password asked for this. My point is, can I defined *.* as protected files where the index.html, fly.jpg are not inlcluded in *.* definition. So, here, the visitor can still freely accessing the my index.html and fly.jpg where they are availbale in every sub domain directory. Thanks!.

iPAQ update
by Wesley Allen 18 Jan '03

18 Jan '03

OK, I had a great time at the meeting on Wednesday, just let me say that first off. The great thing about linux is community, and WLUG certainly has that.... Now, at this moment I'm listening to a Nickel Creek .ogg on my iPAQ using Opie's media play w/ libvorbis. It's a little unstable, but once I get a decent flash card I'll finally be able to take my music files with me.... It took a while to get to this point. I disliked wiki before, now I positively HATE it (and I think Linux Magazine is on drugs for liking it so much). Stuff is just, missing - like how to make sure your iPAQ has dns entries by copying one file.....arrrgh! I could ssh in right away, and on usb, that was the easy part; but for some reason iptables weren't working at first and I had to wipe them and start over, now I've got dns AND iptables forwarding my packets, and the ipaq is on the internet (no, I'm not writing this e-mail on it, an iPAQ, no keyboard, remember?). The only problems I have are with the todolist (it won't start), and qtopia desktop (it won't link). The todolist is missing a library, which I'll find, but the syncing issue is a pain, it just won't see it. Brad's been great and he think going up to opie unstable may solve the issue, we'll see (don't you just love debian users? They say, "Go use unstable" as if that's just what people do...). Now, when I get a tape-player or mp3 input in a car stereo I can finally ask for that microdrive for Christmas! Thanks again! Wes

looking forward to the 15th!
by Wes Allen 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

Hi gang, I'm looking forward to the 15th of January so I can finally say good-bye to Brother Bill on my iPAQ. I got a couple of questions..... Has anyone used the perl-script that syncs the ipaq and evolution? Other then the notorious, "Don't run this while Evolution is open" are there any other problems? Which CF wireless nics work with linux on the iPAQ. I'm seriously thinking that I'm going to get the cf-plus expansion pack and a wireless nic for my iPAQ (linux's true strength is networking, right?). So which one's work? And, sadly, how easy is it to reverse the process? On the off-chance that I can't stand OPIE as a working environment. I've read the howto, how hard is it in "real life." It might be fun to invite some of the people from the compaq lab to the meeting if anyone who worked on ipaq linux is based in the Worcester area....
