What is Webmin?
Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix.
Using any browser that supports tables and forms (and Java for the
File Manager module), you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file
sharing and so on.

Webmin consists of a simple web server, and a number of CGI programs
which directly update system files like /etc/inetd.conf and
/etc/passwd. The web server and all CGI programs are written in Perl
version 5, and use no non-standard Perl modules.

Which one is your favorite installation method?
FTP, HTTP, NFS (network installation)
HDD or directly threw cd/dvd?

I found that:
HTTP installtion does not support Graphical Installation.
NFS is the fastest and easy installtion Supports graphical installation).

why partitions are necessary?
There are many. Like to limit the users from filling all the hard disk
with data.
Practical thing I experienced was a DOS (Dinal of service attack)  on
my  test server causing all the space filled with log files.
there are many good points and everyone must make partitions.

main partitions are :
/    is your mount point
/boot   (100Mb is enough as this partiton holds grub bootloader)

/var   ( for the server files like web pages, ftp so it's size depends
on how much you going to put for web)
I share a lot of mp3s on my server @ home so my partition is around
2000MB.

/usr  (Contains most of the applications and utilities thus it's
decision depends on how much applications you want.)
I use many applications also i try new things so I found 3 GB is enough.

/tmp (name is obvious this partition holds the temporary files best
practice is to put iton a different hard disk as this thing ensures
proper working of those applications which require to write in to /tmp.

/swap (it should be double of the your ram size, processor uses this
partiton as an extra ram )

/home  (again this partition depends on how many documents , files
e.g. mp3, pictures etc). I download a lot so I gave it 1.5 Gb.


If you want to add more/feel corrections installations feel free to
share.
Plese be careful when you insall. It is just a brief information and
not the full installtion cross check everything  before installation,
read shipped documentation with your distro n undestand before acting
regds
anuj

what are you up to?
Hakcing ? not bad.
about perl check this site
http://www.perlmonks.org/

and about spoofing ....serious ? try dsniff.
http://naughty.monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/

what are you using ? I mean which o/s?

When working on a network with multiple linux boxes it looks confusing
as all bash prompts look same (colour) and it is fairly easy to
operate when  you the bash prompt is colourful...so how to make it
colourful?
Simply you have to add this entry in to your
/~home/.bashrc
i.e. in ur home directory open your .bashrc file and add this entry
#RED
PS1='\[\033[11;31m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\$'

#GREEN
PS1='\[\033[11;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\$'

#ORANGE
PS1='\[\033[11;33m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\$'

#BLUE
PS1='\[\033[11;34m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\$'

#PURPLE
PS1='\[\033[11;35m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\$'

#CYAN
PS1='\[\033[11;36m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\$'



The above line will make your bash shell colourful. (easy to recognize
when working with many systems ) ...even you can give ur root bash
some colour. Suppose your server is with a red bash command prompt and
ur other system is with green or someother colour.

example:-my .bashrc file is
______________________________________________________________
# .bashrc
# User specific aliases and functions
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
         . /etc/bashrc
PS1='\[\033[11;31m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\$'
#Make your terminal to close after a defined period of inactivity
TMOUT=15
fi
_____________________________________________________________


Also as a security feature you can add a timeout entry in your .basrc
which causes your terminal to close after the given n seconds of
inactivity.

NEWS FROM BANGALORE AND PLANS FOR FOSS.IN: Atul Chitnis
<mail@...> writes on the
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/foss-in-announce/ list:

           This is it, the last day of speaker and talks
           registration for FOSS.IN/2005.

By midnight tonight (October 8th), we will be closing
registration for talks for the technical and community
sessions of the event. Speakers who have registered but not
submitted any talks will be removed from the speaker database
tonight.

           So if you are planning to submit any talks - you
           have till midnight tonight (GMT+0530!)

FOSS.IN seems to be generating massive amounts of enthusiasm
in the Linux community, and *especially* in the BSD community
(who have proposed several talks and workshops), the Gentoo
community, the Debian community, etc.

The FOSS community rulez!

I will send in another mail giving you some top level stats
about talks and speakers once we close registrations tonight.

           Once registrations close, we will spend a couple of
           days sorting things out, checking which talks need
           work on, and will release the first shortlist
           (minus work-in-progress talks and "star" talks) on
           schedule in the evening of the 12th of October.
           (See the schedule at http://foss.in/2005/cfp/).

Once clashes and WIP talks are sorted out, we will release a
second list with these added. "Star" speakers will be
announced as soon as the remaining major sponsor
confirmations come in.

Call for participation for business sessions and student
talks will go out early next week. Stay tuned. Atul

WHY GNU/LINUX NEEDS A MENTOR PROGRAM: See this interesting
essay at
http://business.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/09/13/1816200&from=rss

Why Linux needs a mentor program By: Tarun Agnani: Imagine
you're a new Linux user. You ordered an Ubuntu CD weeks ago
and forgot about it. You're surprised it actually comes in
the mail. You slap the shiny disc into your PC and cross your
fingers. The installation is quite slick. You're impressed by
the splash screen and attractive desktop. Wow, you think
you're hot stuff -- a Linux user. But the euphoria fades as
you realize there's a problem with your modem. Now what do
you do? ...

Copyleft -- verbatim copying, with credits -- allowed/encouraged.

I hope most of you got a shell account. This is a good thing as you
can use a unix  from your system (on any os with internet). These are
the places where you can learn A LOT of things from other Users/Hackers.

You have to telnet to these sites and follow the instructions.

Few Points :
If you make a typing mistake, press the Backspace key (or try Delete
or Ctrl-H).

To cancel the entire command before you press Enter, press Ctrl-U
(occasionally Ctrl-K). The command disappears.

When you finish typing a command, press Enter.

If you type a command that UNIX doesn't know, it displays a message
saying that it couldn't find the command. What probably happened is
that you mistyped the command.

UNIX cares about capitalization. Enter commands as they appear here,
or else UNIX won't recognize them. UNIX considers ls and LS to be two
totally different commands. Most UNIX commands are in all lowercase.
When you're typing filenames, upper- and lowercase matter too: FROG,
Frog, FrOg, and frog are four different names and may be four
different files. (We didn't say that this would be easy.)

Don't stick any extra spaces in the middle of commands. Do, however,
type a space after a command and before any other information you type
on the command line.

If you're stuck, type help. Not all UNIX providers have a help
command, but you never know.


I placed few links in the group link section..make your shell account
a right place for some cool stuff. remember unix shell accounts are
not the place of chatting but you can learn real things from the gurus.

The List of Shell Providers.
http://www.ductape.net/~mitja/freeunix.shtml

Few more things.
for browsing you will get:
links or lynx (Web Browser)
mutt, pine (mail)

Dear ranjan!
Well for rhce some institutions are providing training  in the
city..(you have to pay a lot)...
Redhat Linx Bible (Fedora & Enterprise Linux 4/with a DVD) is a good
book for administrating your box.
if you need latest installation cds contact me..I have RHEL4, FC4 etc.
You have to copy them.
Fedora core 4 is a bit more user friendly and with more advanced
features.(masqurading, journaling SE etc .....)

DearFriends!
Please inform me how many of you are preparing for redhat
certification/development/security? serious into linux as a
profession......???
_________________________________________________________________

RHCE and RHCT Exam Preparation Guide
Overview

This guide provides information candidates may use in preparing to
take the RHCT or RHCE exam. Red Hat is not responsible for the content
or accuracy of other guides, books, online resources, or any other
information provided by organizations or individuals other than Red
Hat Global Learning Services. Red Hat reserves the right to change
this Guide when appropriate, and candidates who have enrolled in
forthcoming classes or exams are advised to check this guide
periodically for changes.

The Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) and Red Hat Certified Technician
(RHCT) exams are performance-based evaluations of Red Hat Enterprise
Linux and Red Hat Linux system administration skills and knowledge.
Candidates perform a number of routine system administration tasks and
are evaluated on whether they have met specific objective criteria.
Performance-based testing means that candidates must perform tasks
similar to what they must perform on the job.

Prospective employers of RHCEs and RHCTs should verify any and all
claims by people claiming to hold one of these certificates by
requesting their certificate number and verifying it here.

Only Red Hat and Red Hat Certified Training Partners administer the
RHCE and RHCT exams. Prospective candidates should exercise due
diligence when purchasing a seat in an RHCE or RHCT exam from a
provider other than Red Hat itself. They should verify that the
provider is, in fact, an authorized training partner in good standing.
Please notify greymarket@... about organizations that purport
to offer the RHCE or RHCT exams, but who are not Red Hat Certified
Training Partners.

Official scores for the RHCE and RHCT exams come exclusively from Red
Hat Certification Central. Red Hat does not authorize examiners or
training partners to report results to candidates directly. Scores on
the exam are usually reported within three (3) US business days.

Exam results are reported as section scores. Red Hat does not report
performance on individual items, nor will it provide additional
information upon request.
Preparation for the RHCT and RHCE Exams

Red Hat encourages all candidates for RHCT and RHCE to consider taking
one or more of its official training courses to help prepare for the
RHCE or RHCT exam. Attendance in these classes is not required, and
one can choose to take just an exam. Many successful candidates who
have come to class already possessing substantial skills and knowledge
have reported that the class made a positive difference for them.

To help you determine the best courses to take, Red Hat provides
online skills assessment.

While attending Red Hat's classes can be an important part of one's
preparation to take the RHCE or RHCT exam, attending class does not
guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and
native aptitude are also important determinants of success.

Many books and other resources on system administration for Red Hat's
OS products are available. Red Hat does not officially endorse any as
preparation guides for the RHCT or RHCE exams. Nevertheless, you may
find additional reading deepens understanding and can prove helpful.
Components of the RHCE and RHCT Exams

The RHCT exam is a subset of the RHCE exam, and is organized as
follows:

     * Troubleshooting and System Maintenance — 1 hour
     * Installation and Configuration — 2 hours

In order to earn RHCT, one must successfully complete all the
requirements in Troubleshooting and System Maintenance, and must
achieve a score of 70 or higher on Installation and Configuration.

For RHCE exams given on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and higher, the
exam is organized as follows:

     * Troubleshooting and System Maintenance — 2.5 hours
     * Installation and Configuration — 3.0 hours

In order to earn RHCE, one must successfully complete all the
RHCT-level Troubleshooting and System Maintenance requirements, and
successfully complete enough additional RHCE items to earn a score of
80 or higher overall on the section.

In addition, one must score 70 or higher on the RHCT items of
Installation and Configuration, and 70 or higher on the RHCE
components of that section. We describe the skills associated with
RHCT and RHCE below.

For RHCE exams given on Red Hat Linux 9, the following structure
applies:

     * Troubleshooting — 2.5 hours
     * Multiple Choice — 1.0 hour
     * Installation and Configuration — 2.5 hours

In order to earn RHCE on these exams, one must successfully complete
all the RHCT-level Troubleshooting requirements, score a minimum of 50
on the multiple choice, score 70 or higher on both the RHCE and RHCT
components, and earn an overall score of 80 or better for the exam as
a whole.

Linux Toys

Linux Toys...  are interesting I/O devices for Linux PCs and are used to
amuse and entertain. Each article on this web site presents a short
tutorial and application note on an I/O device.

The Code...  You won't find RPMs, ./configure, or even Makefiles. We
strive to expose the device protocol in as few lines of code as
possible. To do this, we sacrifice some functionality and some error
checking. Most programs fit in a single file and are built using just
gcc -o.

The articles usually describe things which are available at your local
electronics store, but some articles describe do-it-yourself
construction projects. (Be ready with a wire-wrap tool!)

These are just toys ....  they are 'for the fun of it' and are not
always meant to solve real-world problems. If you do find a business use
for any of these projects please let us know.

A $10 Linux Answering Machine:

The LinuxToys.Org website has a new article on how to
use a popular, low cost winmodem as a Linux based
telephone answering machine.  The article is at:

FROM CAPE TOWN: Centre for Educational Technology, University of Cape

<marquard@...> says, "My portfolio is learning technologies,
which includes online learning environments. We use (free/libre and)
open source software extensively for web-based applications. UCT built
an inhouse learning environment (connect) from open source components,
including the w-agora discussion engine. Last year we adapted this
platform to host an online conference http://emerge2004.net, and
released the resulting package under the GPL
http://eduforge.org/projects/emergecolab/ We also have a multi-year
project to migrate to the open source Sakai Project learning
environment http://www.sakaiproject.org, which we're excited about for
many reasons, including the Sakai community, interesting tools and
applications emerging for Sakai, and of course the cool technology. On
the social software side, we have recently started a blog service for a
staff development programme (though we expect its application to be
much wider) using plog http://www.plogworld.net , and are at various
stages of using 4 different wikis for different purposes - swiki,
Wikka, mediawiki and a Sakai wiki. We're also interested in eXe for
offline content editing.

Value of Debian GNU/Linux. The paper Measuring Libre Software
studying the size of the source packages in Debian 3.1 calculates the
size of sarge (close to 230 million lines of source code), the use of
the various programming languages in which the software has been
written, and the size of the packages included in the distribution. It
also estimates cost to create something on the scale of Debian from
scratch with a classical and well-known cost method (COCOMO) to be
over 8 billion US dollar.

IT'S NEW: A WIKI FOR THE FLOSS COMMUNITY IN INDIA

Praveen A <pravi.a@...> has launched a new wiki for the Free/Libre
and Open Source Software community in India. See
http://fci.wikicities.com

[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]

AN EXPAT WHO CAN, AND PLANS TO, BUILD BRIDGES

Adi Alurkar <adi@...> is an Indian expat who could be one of those to
build useful bridges. He announced on ILUG-Goa --
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ilug-goa -- recently that he manages all
the database related responsibilities for SourceForge.net and will be
visiting India shortly.

Aditya (Adi) is India between Oct 21 and Dec 9 and says that "during
this visit I'd like to meet and chat with like minded folks and see how
SF.net could help the F[L]OSS community in india better".

He will be visiting family in South Maharashtra and South Gujarat, looks
forward to getting feedback on how FLOSS is "taking hold in the Indian
subcontinent" and wants an "excuse" to come to Goa, the place where he
was raised and graduated (from Chowgule College). You're welcome mate!

[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]

FOSS.TV, WHAT'S THAT? JUST TAKE A PEEP

Navin Dhanuka <dhanukanavin@...> has meanwhile gone ahead with
FOSS.tv Says Navin, "Feedback about FOSS.tv is good as of now. Let's see
if I can set it rolling soon." If you want to help him, just go for it.
Hint: you need software of the video kind.
To find out more about Navin, go to http://www.navin.ind.in

Hello Ranjan!
If you are from the same city (Lucknow) then you can take it from
me...I have it in DVD(this months LFY) as well as in cds. You can take
it from me and return it after burning (making a copy) for yourself.
Fedora Core 4 has many great features...cool ...everyone should try
it.
