Hello,
the TuxMobil News digest for March 2004[1] has good news
for Linux PDA, mobile phone and laptop users. Here is an
extract of the most important or most interesting messages.
Werner Heuser
|=| A new issue (0.17)[2] of PocketWorkStation for Linux PDAs
has been released. Want to run a full Debian GNU/Linux operating environment
on your Linux PDA? Want to switch between Qtopia and X11 whenever you
like without rebooting or needing to stop any of your X11 applications?
Give Pocketworkstation a try. Runs completely out of a single directory
(a 256MB SD card is ideal), no re-flashing or modification of
the existing operating system is required.
|=| Synaptics touchpad driver (0.13)[3] and laptop_mode for Kernel 2.6.5[4]
are now available. The laptop_mode patch extends the battery life of
your laptop.
|=| Mobile Adhoc Networks under Linux are on the go. This months has
brought new issues of: Qolyester an OLSR protocol for wireless
ad hoc networks[5]. UniK OLSR daemon is an Optimized Link State Routing
protocol for MANETs (0.4.3)[6]. Another approach is made by
the AODV-UU - routing protocol for ad-hoc networks (0.7.2)[7].

InterSystems Announces Executive Appointments for
DeSantis, Deutsch, Nagle, Paladino
Promotions Reflect Dramatic Revenue Growth
of Database, Integration Software Firm
Cambridge, Mass.—May 4, 2004—InterSystems Corporation, the fastest
growing database software company, today announced that Joseph DeSantis,
Richard Deutsch, Robert Nagle and John Paladino have been named vice
president. The executive promotions followed a year of dramatic growth
for the company, a technology leader in database and application
integration software.
“After decades of sustained growth and profitability, including
increasing revenues throughout the burst of the dotcom bubble when the
overall database market shrunk, InterSystems had a banner year in 2003,”
says President and CEO Phillip T. (Terry) Ragon. “In addition to 40
percent revenue growth and record profits, IDG’s Computerworld
recognized our CACHÉ database with an Innovative Technology Award,
Gartner named CACHÉ as one of the top five relational database systems
on the Windows platform, and we launched our new Ensemble universal
integration platform. These executive promotions recognize those who
lead the teams responsible for that success.”
Joe DeSantis, of Lincoln, Mass., directs object technology development.
Prior to joining InterSystems in 1996, he was with Liant Software
Corporation, where he served as vice president of R&D. DeSantis also
co-founded Oakland Group, Inc., where he oversaw development of the
C-scape Interscape Management System. He studied electrical engineering
at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Richard Deutsch, from Natick, Mass., oversees InterSystems’ marketing
operations, with worldwide responsibility for the company’s marketing
programs. Deutsch came to InterSystems in 1995, after more than a decade
with IBM, where his focus was on marketing and communications
management. Prior to IBM, Deutsch was president and creative director of
a design and advertising agency. He is a graduate of Harvard University.
Robert Nagle, of Cambridge, Mass., directs systems software development
at InterSystems. Before joining the company’s executive team in 1998, he
spent five years at Harvard University, focusing on molecular modeling
and high performance computing. His background includes stints at
Molecular Simulations, Inc., Automatix, Cognition and Computervision. He
has a Master’s degree in Mathematics from Carnegie-Mellon University and
a Master’s in Mathematical Physics from University College, Cork.
John Paladino, from Melrose, Mass., directs InterSystems support,
quality assurance, internal computer operations and customer education
groups. Prior to joining the firm in 1984, he was a systems engineer
with New England Pathology, where he oversaw acquisition, implementation
and managing of multiple information technologies. Paladino studied
Electrical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

Subject: jailkit 0.7 released
Jailkit is a set of utilities to limit user accounts to specific files
using chroot() and or specific commands. Setting up a chroot shell, a
shell limited to some specific command, or a daemon inside a chroot jail
is a lot easier using these utilities.
Jailkit has been in use for a while on CVS servers (in a chroot and
limited to cvs), sftp/scp servers (both in a chroot and limited to
sftp/scp as well as not in a chroot but only limited to sftp/scp), and
also on general servers with accounts where the shell accounts are in a
chroot.
http://olivier.sessink.nl/jailkit/
Changelog:
*** Jailkit 0.7 ***
- performance improvements for jk_check, requested by a large ISP
- improvements for jk_cp and jk_init
- segfault fix in jk_chrootsh
- Debian package
