From: "B. E. Irwin" <beirwin@shaw.ca>
Subject: Version 1.0.1 Released for Loads of Linux Links (LoLL)-- 3000+ GPLed,
Date: 28 Jun 2002 10:20:18 GMT
Loads of Linux Links (LoLL)--Version 1.0.1 Released
WHAT: Database and software to generate a website with 3000+ subject-classified
and searchable Linux links for all levels of Linux users.
WHERE: Loads of Linux Links (LoLL) home page (http://loll.sourceforge.net); project page
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/loll); file release area
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42381); CVS
repository (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=42381), mailing list
(http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/loll-general),
and the generated website (http://loll.sourceforge.net/linux/links)
which is the place to do your Linux searching!
WHY: Provides convenient access to information needed by all levels of Linux
users.
HOW: LoLL GPLed software and data (scripts,
configuration files, and a bookmark file that contains the basic link
information), are used in combination with bk2site
(http://bk2site.sourceforge.net) to generate the Loads of Linux Links
website (http://loll.sourceforge.net/linux/links).
WHO: Andrew Willard (willychilly@users.sourceforge.net) and Barbara E. Irwin
(beirwin@users.sourceforge.net).
The purpose of the Loads of Linux Links project is to collect, organise,
classify and maintain important URLs about Linux and the Open Source
movement for all levels of Linux users. The LoLL project now has 3000+ links
which are updated regularly.
What's New in Version 1.0.1
*Deleted invalid and out-of-date links. This database maintenance is
time consuming (even though we use htcheck to find all links where
there might be problems), but we feel this effort is an important part of
LoLL's mission to make accessible nothing but the highest-quality Linux
information.
*Added many links. These far outweighed the deletions so our net number of
links has actually gone up by 300!
*Added a python script to generate a nicely formatted list of our category
hierarchies.
*Category renaming and reorganization. This is part of an on-going effort to
make our classification of links as useful as possible to our users.
*A number of category renamings.
*Several minor category reorganizations.
*Reorganization of the Distributions category.
*Added the following sub-categories: Desktop, Embedded, Meta Sites,
Mini, and Special Purpose. We link only to the more important
distributions and depend on the meta sites to link to a more complete
list of Linux distributions.
*Reorganization of the Documentation category.
*Added the following sub-categories: FAQs, Mailing Lists,
Internationalization, and Publications. Note that documentation
links tend to appear twice in LoLL; once in a Documentation
sub-category and once in the applicable subject category.
*Added Meta Sites sub-category to the following categories: Distributions,
Documentation--HOWTOs, Games, and Security and Privacy.
*Created a LoLL mailing list. In the last three months there has been so much
interest in this project (25,000 web hits and 200 downloads) we felt it was
time to create a mailing list for interested users. To subscribe see
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/loll-general.
This project originally began as a service for the Victoria Linux Users'
Group (VLUG, http://vlug.org) but in the true spirit of Linux, we decided to
share this valuable resource with the wider Linux community by putting the
Loads of Linux Links project on SourceForge. Like Linux, this is a work in
progress so stay tuned here on the mailing list for futher update
announcements concerning additional links and revised subject categories.
Also, like Linux, no one owns this project -- it's GPLed so the project can
never be hijacked by proprietary interests!
The current contributors to the project are Andrew Willard, past president
of VLUG with extensive experience with Linux hardware and software; Barbara
E. Irwin, current vice-president of VLUG with 30 years experience as a
professional librarian; and, most importantly, users of LoLL who submit new
or changed Linux-related URL's for the project with the assurance that their
contribution will remain under the GPL forever.
Resources
The generated LoLL website (http://loll.sourceforge.net/linux/links) which
is normally updated on a daily basis. This is the place to do your Linux
searching!
LoLL home page (http://loll.sourceforge.net).
LoLL project page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/loll).
LoLL file release area
(http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42381) which is
normally updated several times per year.
LoLL CVS repository (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=42381) which is
normally updated on a daily basis. This is the place to obtain the latest
bookmarks.html file that is used to generate our website.
LoLL mailing list (http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/loll-general)
VLUG (http://vlug.org) -- the sponsor for the initial effort on this
project. Thank You!

From: Staf Wagemakers <staf.wagemakers@advalvas.be>
Subject: CGIpaf 1.1.0pre2
Date: 28 Jun 2002 10:20:24 GMT
CGIpaf is a combination of three CGI programs. passwd.cgi, which allow
users to update their password, viewmailcfg.cgi, which allows users to
view their current mail configuration, and mailcfg.cgi, which updates
the mail configuration. All programs use PAM for user authentication. It
is possible to run a script to update SAMBA passwords or NIS
configuration when a password is changed. mailcfg.cgi creates a
.procmailrc in the user's home directory. A user 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 UIDs that are allowed
to use CGIpaf.
CGIpaf 1.1.0pre2 is latest development version and is available at:
http://staf.patat.org/cgipaf/develop/
Changelog:
* 1.1.0pre2 26 Jun 2002
o new run_mailcfg directive added to support other mail
configurations than procmail a sample script with .forward/vacation
support is included.
* 1.1.0pre1 18 Jun 2002
o new run_before_mailcfg and run_after_mailcfg directives
o new use_statefile directive

--staf

YKK Selects Linux-dedicated IBM eServer for New e-business Infrastructure
World's Largest Zipper Manufacturer Builds Web Portal to Enhance U.S.
Customer Service
Armonk, N.Y., June 27, 2002 . . . IBM today announced that YKK (U.S.A.)
Inc., the world's largest zipper manufacturer, has chosen IBM, eOne Group
and Linux for a new e-business infrastructure that will improve service for
its U.S. customers.
YKK selected the IBM eServer iSeries offering for Linux -- an aggressively
priced and easy-to-manage Linux server specifically for small and
medium-sized businesses -- and IBM Business Partner eOne Group's
eOneCommerce application to create a new Web portal that allows YKK's U.S.
customers to check inventory, securely place orders, track and review order
status and history, and access a variety of links including an online
product catalog.
The IBM eServer iSeries offering for Linux uses IBM's advanced
virtualization technology to help customers reduce cost and complexity by
consolidating Linux and Windows servers in up to 15 Linux partitions on a
single physical server. It supports the SuSE, TurboLinux and Red Hat
distributions of Linux and includes an installation wizard for rapid
deployment. The iSeries Linux server is intended for infrastructure
applications such as firewall, Web serving, file and print serving, and
mail serving. YKK is using SuSE Linux Enterprise Edition 7 on their
iSeries.
"Our new customer service portal is a first for YKK in the U.S., so it was
critical that we made the right choice for our customers," said Sara
Carnell, director of operations, YKK (U.S.A.) Inc. "We explored several
options before going with the e-business solution from IBM and eOne Group.
IBM's Linux server running eOneCommerce gives us the scalable, flexible and
secure Web site we need, and it also was very affordable."
"The innovative IBM eServer iSeries offering for Linux appealed to YKK
because it supports Linux in multiple partitions on the same box," said
Buell Duncan, general manager, IBM eServer iSeries. "With our IBM Business
Partners eOne Group and Levi, Ray & Shoup, we are committed to helping YKK
put some teeth into its e-business infrastructure."
"IBM's iSeries running Linux and eOneCommerce is the ideal platform for
YKK," said Dan Watson, president of eOne Group. "The solution is easy for
YKK to manage and, most importantly, easy for YKK's U.S. customers to use."
