Hi all,
my duplicate files detection script has come a long way. After extensive
testing, I have today released version 0.08, together with a small
documentation and a check program that will verify the results using
good old trusted cmp. Maybe I should also add that it is the first
version to produce entirely correct results ;-)
I have only two machines to test on, and they are both similar. That is
why I need beta testers who can give it a quick try and tell me whether
it works correctly on their system. All other constructive criticism is
welcome, and I have tried to include as much of Brent's request as
currently possible.
You can find "fdups"'s homepage at
http://www.homepages.lu/pu/fdups.html, where you'll also find a link to
download it. And if you have a look at the sourcecode, then maybe,
you'll fall in love with this "strange" language, like I did some time ago.
Thanks for your feedback,
-pu
Hello
Since a few days, I have problems with connecting to the internet. I use SuSE
9.2. When i do a ifup dsl0, the modem is going to negociate with the partner,
then falling back to down: Error message: Authentication failed.
I have to repeat the ifup thingie several times,
after I am connected.
My ISP is the luxemburgish P&T
Sometimes, I have name resolution problems too, but they aren't as bad.
Does anybody have similar problems??
Or an explanation for this "surnatural happening" :-)
Thanks
Al

Hi all!
I'm in the process of preparing a presentation for a conference I will
hold on wednesday in my school.
I'll give a short introduction to the coordination group responsible for
the decisions related to informatics in LAML.
Until now, the presentation will contain the following elements:
_____
- Waat ass Linux? (what is Linux?) -- veeery short overview,
unfortunately needed
- Firwaat L? (why Linux?)
-generell
-an der Schoul (at school)
=> pädagogesch, finanziell, teschnesch
- Realiseierbarkeet (how to)
=> LLL (Alain, du kriss an nächster Zukunft eng
Mail vu mir)
- Fro'en (questions)
_____
Now. I would like to ask you people to help me with some ideas. First,
any hints are welcome on what to tell those people on "What is Linux".
The points should not be to technical nor to philosophical.
Then, I would need some data on what (superficial) technological and
financial advantages to present. The presentation will be under 40 min,
so everything should remain as short, as convincing (and as easy to
understand) as possible.
If I manage to get those people interested, which is highly probable, a
visit of the LGL, thus a demonstration of the LLL system would be the
next step.
That's all, hope I didn't forget anything.
Thanks for any input.

Does anybody know of a tools that *reliably* finds duplicate files?
I am using rsync to backup my machines on a single spare disk. As this
disk will mirror all files I consider backupworthy, the tool should find
them in this central place. I then want to delete the dups except one on
the source machine, and rsync again.
I do not want to replace dups by hard links, as I suppose that that
would mess up the followingr sync.
Any ideas?
Hi gang! Can anyone give me a comparison between Debian and Slackware? I
used slackware back in 94, but it was very primitive at the time (I think it
was something like kernel 0.8 or something stupid like that). Since then I
have tried SuSE, Fedora Core, and Debian. So far, I am most happy with
Debian, as upgrades are a snap and once you initially set it up, the system
just works without any tweaking. My only problem with Debian is the
technology lag.
Recently I installed Fedora Core 3 on my wife's PC and have had a load of
problems with it since. Kmail doesn't properly link to openoffice, firefox
opens external links as a file in the tmp directory blah blah blah.
I am VERY happy with my Debian system, but I don't think that it would be wise
for me to run Sid on my wife's PC without being around to help fix problems.
So, basically, I guess what I am asking is 1) how difficult is it to manage a
slackware based system? 2) are upgrades a problem? 3) how quickly does
slackware upgrade its software?
Any comments would be helpful, especially if you have run both systems.
Thanks
Mike
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has experience with the Cygwin FOSS,
obviously on the evil os (tm).
I'm experiencing some behavior which I deem strange...
So, first point: is there any way to get some logging in there?
I didn't see syslog or such in the available software.
2. When I start inetd with -d flag (debug), the current console
disappears, but stays running somewhere. How do I get it back?
It's not in the alt-tab list, but after opening a second console
and issuing a "ps -aef" I do see 2 bash processes running, I also
see those two in the taskmanager. The 1st console stays gone
even after inetd is terminated (kill).
3. I have installed amanda backup under cygwin (as documented
on the amanda website). When I start inetd, indeed I get the
port opened (udp 10080), but it looks like that takes amanda
down, i.e. the port is thereafter closed. I'd have thought
that inetd would restart it then, but it doesn't happen...
no idea anyway why it would crash (had it running on a first
try but had issues with authentication, thus I reinstalled).
All this trouble because we need to get that amanda backup
running on a housed server... and the old amanda-win32 stopped
working there for no good reason at all. argl.
Btw, in case someone wants to experiment with the stuff: if
you want to uninstall Cygwin, don't forget to manually delete
the corresponding services (say, sshd) via regedit. After a
reinstall, things won't work otherwise.
Greets & TIA, Eric

No time to write correctly the script, but it is indeed interesting,
especially when you do un rsync and the source part has a folder that
has been renamed. It would be great to have the renamed folder being
detected and renamed at the destination side instead of re-copying all
the files...
Here is the idea.
Do a find. For each file, compute a md5sum. Do a sort of it. Detect the
sets of files having matching md5sum. Do a binary compare of each couple
of such files. If it matches, you found it !
Roughly speaking:
# find . -type f -exec md5sum {} | sort > md5sum.lst \;
# uniq md5sum.lst > md5sum.uniq
# for each couple in `diff md5sum.lst md5sum.uniq`; do
> cmp $1 $2
> done

Ok, I suppose this will be targeted to the public in general, but only
"tech" guys will attend the event (if by compaign, you mean an
event...). In addition, people would have to inform themselves on where
and when this might take place. People will have to go to the
information. This is always an issue. I was thinking in the opposite:
information flows to the mass. Or at least it is available near the mass
(non-tech people) through events organized by the city hall or local groups.

Again, all those groups are for people already interested in IT
security. I was thinking about the 40 year old guy with two kids who
buys a wireless router at Aldi and installs it to get it working whitout
any considerations about security...

Security is also my job therefore I'm highly interested in your pages :)
But, I suppose time is an issue... :).
To summarize, well, nothing to be done ... :|.

Hi everybody,
This has little to do with Linux but more with security. If this request
is off topic, simply diregard it and I won't do it again, I promise :).
As the Lilux people seem to have legal knowledge about things in
Luxembourg and great ideas/advices on how things work with government, I
thought I could ask this here.
I happened to bump into two 15/16 year old guys who were wardriving in
my "Cite". I was quite impressed. Actually, they were by foot. One
holding the PC and the antenna, the other holding a piece of paper
probably writing the details of their discoveries.
Well, this is only my personal opinion but I cannot help myself and
think about what they would do if they found an unprotected network.
My questions are:
How to make people aware of the dangers?
Write to the city hall to ask them to produce a small piece of paper and
put it into people's brief cases?
Organize some kind of event? with whom? by whom? Maybe this was already
done?
Are there organizations that care about those awarness programs and
would be glad to help?
Does anybody know if foreign governments have such programs?
As you see, I don't know much but I was willing to try something.
Thanks for any suggestions/advices/ideas :)
Paulo
