Subject: [Announce] McObject's new white paper, Main Memory vs. RAM-Disk Databases: A Linux-based Comparison
McObject's new white paper, "Main Memory vs. RAM-Disk Databases: A
Linux-based Comparison" addresses performance and availability issues of
different approaches to database management in embedded systems running on
Linux. The paper is available at www.mcobject.com/downloads.
A new type of DBMS, the main memory database (MMDB), claims breakthrough
performance and availability via memory-only processing. But doesn't
database caching, or using a RAM-disk, achieve the same result with a
traditional (disk-based) database? This benchmark tests eXtremeDB against a
widely used embedded database, in both disk-based and RAM-disk modes.
Deployment on RAM-disk boosts the traditional database by as much as 74
percent, but it still lags the MMDB. Read about the architectural reasons
for this disparity.

From: "David F. Skoll" <dfs@roaringpenguin.com>
Subject: MIMEDefang 2.2 -- flexible mail scanner for virus/trojan protection
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 or
later (8.12.1 recommended.)
MIMEDefang is available from:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/
and is released under the GNU General Public License.
Version 2.2 features many enhancements over version 2.1:
Major feature enhancements:
===========================
o Added action_replace_with_url. This strips out a mail part and replaces
it with a URL. You can use this to put large attachments on a Web server
and make life easier for POP3 users on the end of a slow modem link.
o Added stream_by_domain to allow administrators to use different scanning
rule sets for different domains. Very useful if you host virtual domains.
o Added resend_message (used by stream_by_domain) to resend the original
message.
o Added add_recipient and del_recipient functions to add/delete envelope
recipients.
o Added action_notify_administrator to send notices to MIMEDefang
administrator (as suggested by Randy Fox.)
Bug fixes, security fixes, etc:
===============================
o Do not add X-Scanned-By header if an identical header exists already.
o Name quarantine directories based on time for easy sorting.
o Error messages from the Perl filters are logged to syslog at DEBUG level.
This should make tracking down filter problems much easier.
o If the filter fails, an SMTP "temporary-failure" code is issued. This is
far safer than the old mechanism of adding an "X-MIMEDefang-Warning:" header
and allowing the mail through.
o Clarified the effect of the "-f" flag in mimedefang manual pages.
o Configure script checks for prerequisite Perl modules.

Subject: cgipaf 1.0rc4
"cgipaf" allows users to change their un*x Password, Autoreply and mail
Forwarding by a web interface.
cgipaf is available at http://www.stafwag.f2s.com/cgipaf
REQUIREMENTS
+ a Un*x server (only tested with Debian gnu/Linux woody & potato and
solaris 8)
+ a mailserver that uses procmail
+ webserver
+ gcc, ndbm or gdbm
OVERVIEW
cgipaf is a combination of three cgi programs:
passwd.cgi: allow users to update their password
viewmailcfg.cgi: allow users to view their current mail configuration.
mailcfg.cgi: update the mail configuration
All programs use PAM for user authentication, systems without PAM are only
supported if they use the standard password file location (/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow) and the standard crypt function to encrypt the passwords.
If a password is changed it is possible to run a script to update SAMBA
passwords, NIS configuration, etc.
The mail configuration is done by procmail, mailcfg.cgi creates a .procmailrc
in the user's home directory. If autoreply is enabled the autoreply message is
stored in ~/vacations.txt. When a user enables mail forwarding the user can
choose to keep the messages.
For user authentication viewmailcfg.cgi creates a cookie, this cookie is
stored in the accessdb. mailcfg.cgi reads the cookie out the accessdb and
compares it with the cookie send by the users browser.
Users with too many invalid logins can be locked.
The minimum and maximum uid can be set in the configuration file, so you can
specify a range of uid's that are allowed to use cgipaf.
You can specify html files with a few PHP extensions for the login screen and
error messages.
It's possible to use a redirect for the error messages, instead of plain html
files.
WHAT IS NEW
+ new pam_service directive, you can change the pam service name.
+ added test for gdbm/ndbm.h header file
+ fixed: mailcfg.cgi failed, if it couldn't determine the domain name.
+ new forwarding method to avoid mail looping
+ fixed: it wasn't possible to use special characters ( $ space ) as the
loginname / password.
+ fixed: run_success, run_locked didn't always work
+ fixed: typo the sample samba passwd script the configuration file &
documentation the second %{password} have to terminated with a "\n".
+ fixed: mailcfg.cgi failed, if another cookie exists
+ fixed: mailcfg.cgi crashed if the syslog directive wasn't set
+ fixed: setgid() failed because it was performed after setuid()
cheers,

Subject: ANN: Pan 0.11.1 "Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?"
Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2001 20:48:06 CST
Pan 0.11.1, "Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?", has been released.
It can be found at http://pan.rebelbase.com/.
What is Pan?
Pan is a newsreader, loosely based on Agent and Gravity, which
attempts to be pleasant to use for new and advanced users alike.
It has all the typical features found in newsreaders and also
supports offline newsreading, article filtering, multiple connections,
and a number of extra features for power users and alt.binaries fans.
It's also the only Unix newsreader to get a perfect score on the
Good Net-Keeping Seal of Approval evaluations. See
http://pan.rebelbase.com/features.html for the rest of the
sales pitch.
About 0.11.1
About thirty bugs have been fixed during the three betas
since 0.11.0's release. 0.11.1 also has a set of the usual
memory/speed tweaks and -- just in case we missed more bugs --
better recovery in the case of a crash.
Changes Since 0.11.0
NEW FEATURES
* New builtin filter: "Threads I've posted In"
* The header pane now allows filtering by Message-ID
* Better guessing of default the default news server
for new users with cable modems.
* In the header pane, the left/right arrow keys now collapse/expand the
selected threads. Thanks to Chris Petersen for suggesting this.
UPDATES
* Better data recovery in the case of a Pan or system crash.
* Better error-checking, handling, and writing-to-the-Pan-log when
saving/decoding articles and when saving the local cache files.
* Slightly faster downloading and threading of articles.
* New Simplified Chinese translation by Zipeco
* New Portuguese translation by Duarte Loreto
CONFIGURATION
* Mac OS X build fixes. Thanks to Max Horn for these.
* Build fixes for the Compaq C compiler on Linux Alpha. Thanks to
Alan Young for reporting these problems and submitting a patch.
* Fixed small compile problem with "pan.sendlater" being defined
in the wrong library. Thanks to Gabi Davar and Francesco Lamonica
for reporting this bug.
BUG FIXES
* Fixed bug that caused Pan to crash on startup if the newsrc file
exists, but Pan is unable to read this (e.g. permissions). Thanks
to Joris Lambrecht and about a million other people for reporting
this bug.
* Fixed 0.11.0 that caused some attachments to be decoded incorrectly.
Thanks to Thomas Gamble for finding this bug and providing a fix.
* Fixed crash that occurred when repeatedly loading the same group.
* Significant memory leak when saving articles fixed. Thanks to Rick
for noticing this and tracking own the problem.
* Fixed 0.11.0 bug that, when an empty group was activated, Pan would
go to the server twice for new headers instead of once. In addition
to pointless load, if you were really unlucky there would be one or
two new articles in the second load, marking the ones from the first
run and leaving you scratching your head "how did I just download a
batch of old articles from a new group?" :)
* Fixes freeze & integrity bugs in the Task Manager. Thanks to
Alex Flinsch, Alan Young, Gabi Davar, and Jed Baer for helping
to track down some of these problems.
* Fixed bug that caused Pan to crash or not be able to post articles
under certain conditions.
* Fixed bug that caused the CPU to sometimes peg at 100% when the
user hit the "empty group" button.
* Fixed rare crash-on-exit bug that occurred when one thread was
shutting down the Pan app log while another thread was trying to
log a shutdown message. Thanks to Jed Baer for reporting this bug.
* Fixed rare gui lockup bug when loading new articles for the group
that's currently loaded.
* "Flag Thread" and "Unflag Thread" didn't flag the entire thread
as they should have. Thanks to Peter Borgmann for reporting this bug.
* Fixed bug that kept the "supercede article" feature from
working properly.
* Fixed integrity bug in filtering on complete/incomplete multiparts.
* Fixed bug that caused article bodies to be saved improperly when
the user specified the filename from the save dialog. Thanks to
Andreas Ollinger for reporting this bug and to Joseph Turian for
providing a patch.
* Fixed bug that caused non-visible filters to reappear on the filter
menu when Pan was restarted. Thanks to Douglas Bollinger for reporting
this bug.
* The Article cache was growing past the user-defined limit in
0.11.0. Thanks to Muralito and Alan Young for reporting this bug.
* Now handles watching/ignoring a thread even if the article
selected when 'watch' button is pressed has a broken References:
header. (Shame on you Forte Agent 1.8! :) Thanks to David Watson
for reporting this bug.
* Fixed bug that didn't remember the "Thread/Unthread Header Pane"
setting between sessions and required the button to be pressed
twice before it would work. Thanks to Jed Baer for reporting
this bug.
* Fixed bug that incorrectly saved the pane dimensions for the
"three vertically stacked panes" layout mode. Thanks to
Douglas Bollinger and Erik W. Hanson for reporting this bug.
* Other small bug fixes.

Tommy Hilfiger Chooses IBM and Linux for e-business Infrastructure
New Portals Expand Company's Reach to Specialty Retailers, Factories,
Employees
ARMONK, NY, December 5, 2001 . . . IBM today announced that Tommy Hilfiger
Corporation has chosen IBM, eOneGroup and Linux for its new e-business
infrastructure as the company works to expand its presence among thousands
of U.S. specialty retailers, as well as its worldwide manufacturing
facilities and employees.
Tommy Hilfiger selected technologies from IBM, including IBM eServer
products running Linux, DB2 Universal Database, Java and eOneGroup's suite
of software products to create:
A new B2B portal (www.tommyb2b.com) that allows Tommy Hilfiger's
specialty retailers and salesforce to view, via the web, selected core
and seasonal apparel products such as jeans and other basic available
inventory in real-time, and place, track and ship orders;
A business-to-plant website that links Tommy Hilfiger's production
facilities around the world, which is expected to speed
design-to-product time and significantly decrease costs; and
A virtual employee store that allows, for the first time, Tommy Hilfiger
personnel to shop online around the clock.
The web infrastructure, designed and built by IBM Business Partner
eOneGroup, includes IBM eServer xSeries servers running Linux to handle
web-based transactions, integrated online with IBM eServer iSeries servers
running Java that are tied to existing wholesale and warehouse management
systems.
"We identified an increasing demand for our products among mid-market
specialty retailers, and IBM and eOneGroup delivered the technologies and
expertise we needed to reach this growing market segment," said Brent
Findon, vice president of system development at Tommy Hilfiger. "In
addition, by integrating these new web portals with our existing back-end
systems, we saved significantly on the time and expense of deploying this
total infrastructure."
"IBM's server interoperability and application flexibility enabled us to
reach Tommy Hilfiger's goals of lower costs and increased revenue," said
Dan Watson, president of eOneGroup. "The manufacturing portal and employee
store are expected to produce substantial cost savings and tommyb2b.com has
already proved productive and efficient for specialty store retailers with
limited travel budgets."
"Tommy Hilfiger needed a solution that provided the performance and
reliability necessary to win in the tough retail marketplace," said Buell
Duncan, general manager of IBM's mid-market servers. "With our IBM Business
Partner eOneGroup, we are committed to helping Tommy Hilfiger grow into new

If you know some, or if you are visually impaired, then you will enjoy
the new BLinux distribution called BrlSpeak:
This mini-distribution can be installed by a blind person without any
assistance from a sighted person.
Also, new is the fact that a blind person is now able:
a) to preconfigure the braille driver config-file before running Linux
(BrlSpeak is an umsdos version),
b) autocompilation of the braille driver is provided, and
c) finally, the braille display is operational when booting BrlSpeak for the
first time.
Have a look at:
http://brlspeak.linux-fan.com/
for more informations.
Also don't hesitate to talk to your blind friends about this new BrlSpeak
distribution.
Greetings,
Osvaldo La Rosa.

Subject: lbrate 1.1 - extract/decompress CP/M LBR archives
Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2001 20:48:44 CST
lbrate extracts/decompresses files from the CP/M LBR format. (It can
also list and test such archives.) It does this in an `unzip'-like
manner, mostly hiding the details of individually compressed and
renamed files, and transparently deals with the required
decompression/renaming.
lbrate is also (I believe) the only non-CP/M program to fully support
decompressing files from all three CP/M compression schemes (Q, Z, Y).
With this in mind, it can decompress such files directly, treating
them as if they were single-entry LBRs.
You can download it from ibiblio:
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/compress/lbrate-1.1.tar.gz
There's also a web page here:
http://rus.members.beeb.net/lbrate.html

Subject: New user group in Wichita, Kansas
Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2001 20:48:44 CST
It seems the ACLUG (Air Capital Linux Users Group) is dying out. I
have used BSD and Linux for 7 years now. I am going to start my own
group. One thing I need is howtos for obtaining CDs. I want shirts,
cds and books availible, but I don't want to charge. Is this
non-profit? Also, My website is
http://silverchair.futureks.net/~drwho and the first live meeting, I
am planning on having ESR come to town. If someone can mail me at
unixgod78@yahoo.com I would like to know where to get the schwag. I
tried LinuxCare, because that's where I got my bumper sticker. We
have a chat room. irc.openprojects.net #kuug. It's the Kansas Unix
Users Group.
And ACLUG members are welcome except for Dale Hodge, Clint Brubakken
to name a couple. These two have a monopolistic view of their group
and they are the only ones in town and the topics are made hard by the
speakers. My atmosphere will be just eat, drink and meet people to
talk about Linux. Clint and Dale, also don't want other user groups
to form that are Linux related. But they are slowly dying out.
Finally, I am looking for Tresurer and a webmaster so maybe we could
get an www.kuug.org .net, and .com registered. I see this group doing
much, and succeeding. IT WILL NOT compete with ACLUG, however, no one
from ACLUG can be a committee member because the would cause harm, to
the group. NON-ACLUG members can be committee members.
Thanks and regards,
