Subject: New News-to-Web WYSIWYG Gateway with Thumbnails Preview - for limited distribution yet


Hello,


We have this exciting new product that may be of interest
for any ISP or news provider. It is a News-to-Web Gateway
looking exactly like its predecessor AnsWay (see 
http://www.ozinsight.com/webGate/index.php). The difference
is that this one works with any NNTP complaint news server
and has a built in cache. Also, we are adding an NNTP
interface as well, so, it is going to be an integral
solution: a Web gateway with thumbnails, and a news cache
emulating a news server.

It is very, very simple to install (and uninstall :-) - just
unpack to a directory. It works as a client to your, or your
provider's news server and serves very nice looking WYSIWYG
Web pages to your customers.

It is stable, but we do not want to release it to general
public yet, even as a beta, before we make sure that users
are happy with it. Instead, we are looking for a few people
who are happy to start using it ASAP, so that we could
closely support them and get it working for them together,
eliminating remaining glitches by the way.

As a bonus, those willing to pioneer OzWay will get free
licenses when the final release is ready. 

If you are interested please send email to info@ozinsight.com.
If you want to try it working (as an end user), I can give you
access details of our demo server.


Regards,


Arkadi.

Subject: Dump/restore 0.4b24 released.
Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2001 13:50:22 CST
Reply-To: Stelian Pop <stelian.pop@fr.alcove.com>

Hi everybody,

A new version of dump/restore, the linux ext2/ext3 filesystem
backup utilities was released today.

This new release fixes some bugs (yet another LFS bug, etc.)
and adds some new features, like the ability to create bzip2 
compressed dumps and to stream multi-volume dumps directly to 
a CD writer.

Downloads, bug-reports, mailing lists, all is available from:
        http://dump.sourceforge.net

Enjoy!

Stelian.

Changelog follows:

Changes between versions 0.4b23 and 0.4b24 (released September 12, 2001)
========================================================================

1.      Fixed the permissions of a newly created QFA file by dump.

2.      Cleaned up the source of dump (the external variables 
        definition was a complete mess, making possible to have
        objects overlap).

3.      Fixed restore to use the full tape volume path when doing
        a compare (since it changes the working directory to the
        filesystem being compared in the process).

4.      Added the -q option to dump which makes dump abort 
        whenever it needs operator attention. It should be
        easier to use dump in scripts with this option.

5.      Detect the use of incompatible options to dump and
        refuse them (like -a and -B options together).

6.      Added bzip2 compression to dump/restore (use option -j level 
        to select it). Note that you will need a restore version
        >= 0.4b24 in order to restore a bzip2 compressed dump.
        The same warning as for the zlib compression applies:
        the tape format of a bzip2 dump is not compatible with the
        original BSD tape format.

7.      Fixed a overflow problem in dump corrupting the dump when
        very large files were encountered. Thanks to Vladimir Nadvornik 
        for the bug report.

8.      Added a ioctl(BLKFLSBUF) in dump which should flush the
        kernel buffer/page cache before starting the dump, helping
        a bit those who use dump on mounted filesystems. Thanks to
        John Yu <jky@it.bu.edu> and to Theodore T'so <tytso@mit.edu>
        for this suggestion.

9.      Updated the RPM spec file following the RedHat changes 
        (dynamically linked binaries now in /usr/sbin etc).

10.     Added a patch from Helmut Jarausch <jarausch@igpm.rwth-aachen.de>
        which enables restore to recognise multi volume compressed dumps
        done on CD. Included his scripts for dump (which pipe the dump
        output directly into cdrecord) and restore. There is now 
        possible to to backups to CD on the fly!

Subject: Looking for or founding Lug in Ingolstadt/Germany

Hello NG,
because I move to Ingolstadt the next few weeks I'm looking for a LUG.
As far as I can see there does not seem to exist one and so I wanted
to know:

Does anybody like to help me founding a LUG in Ingolstadt, if there
does not exist somethin like that?

I am programming Java/C/C++/Python/Perl/PHP/Bash/TCL,
and I am working at home as well as on the job on Linux. The first
time I encountered Linux was about 1994, when I really started to work
with it it was about 1998.

Anyone likes to help fighting the Borg? ;)

Subject: KSnuffle-0.6 released
From: jetadmin@jtullmann.sigep.monm.edu (John Eric Tullmann)


Thanks!
==========[snip]========

NOTE:  Versions up to 0.3 inclusive had a great big security hole. Anyone
       using these should upgrade!

NEW :  Version 0.7 is primarily a fix to build on Mandrake 7.0 with
       gcc 2.95. Otherwise there is one fix to the packet details
       display (source/destination address mixup), and a picture of me
       in the about box (OK, this is a pure ego trip, but the KDE site
       has a developers' gallery).

THANX: To everyone who helped sort the gcc 2.95 problem, and generally
       supplied bug reports and feedback. You might want to grab the
       latest upload for the above bug fix.

MANDRAKE:
       Should be OK now!

=====[The Actual Announcement]========================================

KSnuffle is a network packet sniffer for KDE. Features include:

        * Basic filtering and packet selection via the GUI
        * Advanced filtering and packet selection via filter programs
        * Multiple concurrent monitors
        * Text and binary logging, plus replay of binary log files
        * Textual display of network traffic overview
        * Full(er) details of protocol and application data available
        * Display of data in TCP/IP streams
        * Network load histograms and time-averaged load display
        * Parallel display of multiple load histograms
        * Save and restored filter and packet selection configurations
        * Support for use by selected non-root users
        * Plugin support - 0.7 contains dns, summary and end-to-end plugins

In its current state it is, so far as I can tell, quite reliable. The
main area where is is lacking is actually decoding different network
packets. At the moment, it handles basic decoding of TCP/IP and UDP/IP,
plus ARP/RARP and ICMP. Packet decoding does not go down into the
application level except for DNS packets.

Also, KSnuffle uses libpcap-0.4, as used by tcpdump. As I only have access
to Linux boxen, I cannot build or test it for any other Unix. I'd be
interested if anyone else could try.

The plugin interface as changed a tiny bit, specifically the structure
returned by "getPlugin" has changed. If (in the unlikely event) anyone
has written a plugin, see the PLUGINS file for details.

KSnuffle is available from ftp://195.92.31.34/pub/ksnuffle-0.7/ ; there
is a homepage at http://www.quaking.demon.co.uk/ksnuffle.html. The latter
contains some screen shots and other information.

Subject: MIMEDefang 1.4 -- flexible mail scanner for virus/trojan protection

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hash: SHA1

MIMEDefang is a MIME mail scanner designed to run on Linux or UNIX
systems, and intended mainly to protect Windows e-mail clients from
mail-borne viruses.  It can, however, be used for many other purposes,
such as restricting access to certain e-mail addresses to specific mail
relays, diverting large attachments to a Web server instead of keeping
them in the message, and so on.  MIMEDefang requires Sendmail 8.11.

MIMEDefang is available from:

        http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang

and is released under the GNU General Public License.

Changes since Version 1.3:

MIMEDefang now correctly handles encoded text inside MIME headers.
You are STRONGLY urged to upgrade to version 1.4.

Subject: rp-pppoe 3.3 -- Robust PPPoE client for Linux, NetBSD, and Solaris

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hash: SHA1

Version 3.3 of rp-pppoe has been released.  It is the successor to 3.2.

rp-pppoe is a user-mode (and kernel mode, on Linux 2.4) client, relay
and server for the Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet, a protocol
used by many ADSL service providers.  It runs on standard Linux
kernels, NetBSD and Solaris.  rp-pppoe is released under the GNU
General Public License, and can be obtained from:

        http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/

Changes from Version 3.2 to 3.3:

o Client works on Solaris again.  It was broken in 3.2.

o Added DEFAULTROUTE=yes|no option to configuration file.

o Server parses address pool file better.

o Server address pool allows ranges of addresses on a line: a.b.c.d-e

o Added "-d" (=debug) and "-P" (=check pool file syntax) options to
  pppoe-server.
