The Manchester Linux User Group (ManLUG) will meet on Saturday
21 August at 14:00 in the Lascelles Williams room on the ground
floor of the Computer Building, Manchester Computing, in the
University of Manchester on Oxford Road, between Booth Street
and Brunswick Street. We are building 38 in the map at
http://www.man.ac.uk/welcome/campus1.html.
Network Security and Firewalling with Linux
Attacks on computer networks and on individual computers are becoming
more frequent, more advanced and harder to detect. Many Linux
distributions contain documented security flaws which can expose the
system to attack. Simple preventive measures can protect against many
of these attacks. Linux also includes features that allow it to be
used as a 'cheap and cheerful' firewalling solution. While not as
complete or as configurable as a dedicated firewall, these features
are often adequate in small installations.
Pete Crowther builds and manages Linux firewalls for an international
training company. His talk will demonstrate securing a stock RedHat
system, andturning that system into a packet-filtering, proxying,
logging firewall with FreeSWAN providing secure access to other
sites in a Virtual Private Network. Then he will cover some of the
practicalities of maintaining such a firewall after it is built.
After a break, with possible general discussion, Pete will give
a demonstration of some of the software involved. For more
information about this meeting, or about ManLUG in general, see

Subject: cfingerd 1.4.0 - Configurable Finger Daemon
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 20:20:59 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
After several years of development I'm happy to present a new version
of the configurable finger daemon. The original author and former
maintainer Ken Hollis has handed over development to me.
Cfingerd is a free and secure finger daemon replacement for standard
finger daemons such as GNU fingerd, or MIT fingerd. Cfingerd can
enable/disable finger service to individual users, rather than to all
users on a given host. Cfingerd is able to respond to a finger
request to a specified user by running a shell script (e.g., finger
doorbell@mysite.mydomain might cause a sound file to be sent) rather
than just a plain text file.
Since this release fixes at least two security bugs (users could gain
root access, see bugtraq) I recommend that you update your fingerd
immediately if you are using an older version of cfingerd.
File: ftp://ftp.infodrom.north.de/pub/people/joey/cfingerd/cfingerd-1.4.0.tar.gz
MD5sum: dcc25e89ba1dad6497365429b1db2909
It was uploaded to Metalab and will appear in
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/finger/ . soon.
Regards,
Joey

Subject: MacMall to Carry Yellow Dog Linux
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 19:47:22 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Loveland, CO, 4 August 1999
Terra Soft Solutions is pleased to announce the formation of a reseller
relationship with MacMall for the purpose of selling Yellow Dog Linux
software. This is the most bold introduction of Linux for Apple PowerPCs
into the consumer world. "The knowledge of this alternative operating
system will quickly reach millions. Yellow Dog on Apple hardware will
leap from the realm of the unknown into server rooms, offices, and homes
throughout the United States," states Kai Staats, CEO, Terra Soft Solutions, Inc.
The MacMall Software & Accessories Buyer's Guide, a quarterly reference guide
of Macintosh products, will feature a Yellow Dog ad in the Q4 Holiday
Season catalog. In October Terra Soft will expand its marketing activities
to include Champion Server in the core MacMall Catalog with a quarter page
ad. The MacMall Catalog has a circulation of up to 2 million reaching end
users, SoHo, Small/Medium businesses, Government and Education markets.
Staats continues, "Apple has for years held its ground in a marketplace
through its dedicated mail-order and online catalogs. Apple owners have
enjoyed and relied heavily upon the ease of mail-order and the benfits of
overnight express delivery. MacMallis one of the most established, most
reputable leaders in the Apple mail-order business. We chose [MacMall]
based upon personal experiance as their sales staff are consistantly
professional, personable, and knowledgable -- willing to take a few
extra minutes to conduct research, offer advice, and find the best solution
for their customers needs."
About the Yellow Dog Linux products to be offered
Champion Server is Terra Soft's professional server distribution, now
shipping version 1.1 with support for Apple's latest hardware. While
Champion Server was designed with the server environment in mind, it has
proven to be a favorite among those who wish to dive for the first time
into Linux, enhance the performance of their old Mac, or build a full-on
server with the latest Apple hardware. Champion Server 1.1 was met with
incredible enthusiasm as a debut at Mac World NY.
Gone Home is the must anticipated version of Yellow Dog Linux designed
specifically for the home user. It will be offered as a stand-alone
product, bundled with games and/or home-office applications, and will
introduct an entirely new graphical installer (yes, you can use your
mouse and yes, it will be open source) currently in development by
Terra Soft Solutions.
About Creative Computers, Inc.
Based in Torrance, CA, Creative Computers' MacMall has been a major
authorized Apple reseller since 1994. MacMall offers 24 hour service
with delivery 7 days a week. Dedicated to the Apple computer and 3rd
party Apple products, MacMall offers great deals and personal account
managers.

Subject: Xtoolwait 1.3 released - speedup X session startup
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 19:40:27 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This is a bugfix release, no new features. One race-condition has
been fixed (see the changelog below for more details).
==================
What is Xtoolwait?
==================
This utility notably decreases the startup time of your X sessions, provided
that you start a number of X clients automatically during the X session
startup.
Most people, for instance, start X clients like xterm, xclock, xconsole and
xosview from their .xinitrc, .openwin-init, .xtoolplaces or .xsession file.
These X clients are started simultaneously (in the background) which puts a
high load on the X server and the OS:
* The X server is not multi-threaded, so all X clients are competing to get
access to the X server and to use its resources, which causes a lot of
overhead (= delay).
* The performance of other (non X related) tasks served by the system degrades
badly due to the high load.
If the system has not enough RAM to hold all the X clients, it is swapping
heavily, resulting again in a lot of delay.
On the Sun platform there is a utility called 'toolwait' which solves these
problems: it starts one X client in the background, waits until it has mapped
a window and then exits.
Xtoolwait is a free implementation of exactly the same idea. Xtoolwait is
released under the GNU General Public License.
===================
Where can I get it?
===================
Download Xtoolwait from this page
http://www.hacom.nl/~richard/software/xtoolwait.html
===================
Most recent changes
===================
Jul 31 1999: xtoolwait 1.3 released
* If a window is destroyed before xtoolwait has examined it,
xtoolwait would exit with a BadWindow error. This error is
now ignored by xtoolwait.
Thanks to Jeff Sheinberg for reporting this bug and to
Martin Bialasinski for helping to debug.
Enjoy,
Richard Huveneers

Subject: arts-0.3.2 - analog realtime synthesizer
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 19:37:13 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
aRts 0.3.2 is released.
What is it?
- ------------
aRts is an analog realtime synthesizer which is completely modular. You can
create sounds & music (realtime midi synthesis) using small modules like
oscillators for creating waveforms, various filters, modules for playing
data on your speakers, mixers, faders,... You can build your complete setup
with the gui of the system under KDE.
The aRts server is controlled via CORBA. This design is intended to let
other applications use aRts as synthesizer (or filter provider) and
working together in the creation of music.
Requirements:
- -------------
mico, KDE
Changes since arts-0.3.1:
- -------------------------
- Widgets should be usable as subwidgets in most useful combinations,
so you can create panels inside panels inside panels, which makes it
possible to give reusable components (such as effects) a gui which
is reusable as well.
- New module Gui_SUB_PANEL to support substructuring. On the other hand
it makes it possible to have "front panels" for instruments finally,
where you can change instrument parameters on the fly.
- Changes in MidiRouter, new PARAM_GET/SET modules and others for the
"front panel" stuff.
- New module Gui_INSTRUMENT_MAPPER allows assigning instruments to midi
channels on the fly (with user interface while synthesis is running).
- New modules Gui_POTI (turning knob for parameters) and Gui_WINDOW.
- Some work on parent/child widgets and layout in the guiserver.
- Autoloading of example structures (which install themselves now) and
everything in $HOME/arts/structures.
- Some bugfixes ;)

Subject: xpdf 0.90 - a PDF viewer for X
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 19:41:55 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I've just released a new version of xpdf, my Portable Document Format
(PDF) viewer for X.
Xpdf runs under the X Window System on Unix, VMS, and OS/2. The non-X
components of the package (pdftops, pdftotext, etc.) also run on Win32
systems.
*** NEW -- Anti-aliased fonts!
*** This release uses t1lib to render embedded Type 1/1C fonts (and
*** the base 14 fonts).
Other noticeable changes:
* Added "backward" and "forward" buttons.
* Added fit-page and fit-page-width zoom factors.
* Type 1C fonts are converted to Type 1 and embedded in PostScript.
* Support vertical Japanese text.
* Added Japanese text support (EUC-JP) to pdftotext.
* Initial support for PDF 1.3.
See the `CHANGES' file for a complete list.
Source (C++ and C) is available, and it should be fairly easy to
compile for UNIX, VMS, OS/2, and Win32.
More information, source code, and precompiled binaries are on the
xpdf web page and ftp site:
http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/
ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/
Source and Linux binaries are on sunsite.unc.edu, currently in
the incoming directory, but they will be moved to:

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I am pleased to announce that Aegis 3.19 is now available.
Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management
system. It provides a framework within which a team of developers
may work on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis
coordinates integrating these changes back into the master source
of the program, with as little disruption as possible.
You are invited to visit
http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~millerp/aegis.html
for a more complete description of what Aegis is, and access to
the download files.
For information about what new features are available in this
release, please see the README file available at the above site.
Regards
Peter Miller E-Mail: millerp@canb.auug.org.au
