I'm interested and I'm reasonably capable when it comes to writing a few sentences, a letter, what have you.... On the tech side, I'm a developer. It's been many years since I did system administration or configuration for anyone but myself...and back then it wasn't usually Linux. Point being, others seemed just as motivated...and I'd trust some one else to do show-and-tell about a major plan for OS migration and conversion rather than myself. (I'd be more likely to get onto the subject of migrating your server applications to a JBoss/PostgreSQL environment.) During the earlier discussion, I remember someone mentioning political contacts on Council. Having that leverage sounded like a better idea than blindly searching for someone who would consider a cold-call proposal. But if those contacts aren't interested, the name of an acting IT head is in the Globe article. Anyone feel like proposing an actual plan of attack we can all throw darts at? :-) ........................

One small problem I found when I first went to the site was that I wasn't sure I was where I was supposed to be. It might be helpful to at least replace the default Tiki stuff with some background info on what its purpose is and how people can contribute to the project. Anita -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

I haven't noticed any messages lately about efforts to get a Linux foothold at the City of Toronto. Anyone interested should read an article on page A14 of this morning's Globe & Mail. Quote: "The city's problem is that 14,000 of its 17,500 computers are of 1999 vintage or older, which means that the operating system they run on is Microsoft Windows NT, a program which the software company will no longer support after some time next year, and they do not have the capacity to run on the next generation of software, Windows XP, which the city plans to switch to." Tortured grammar aside, how many things "wrong" can *you* find in that sentence? :-) ........................

It sounds like a golden opportunity is starting to rust ! The earlier thread "Toronto Municipal Open Source Revolution, anyone ?" had a flash of enthusiasm and then very little follow through.

C++ is an interesting beast when it comes to portability ... you can try to find the definition by doing something like: (cd /usr/include; grep -E "[ \t]ios::ios" g++/*.h) which yields ios::ios in <g++/streambuf.h> on my system. good luck, Peter -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

How do I tone it down? Up till now I've been on ADSL (IStop), and my Netgear router has been blocking the incoming garbage on ports 135 and 80 and etc... iptables never got to see any hits. Now I'm about to move to a condo serviced by Futureway. To complicate the situation, the owners are unhappy with Futureway and have set the wheels in motion to switch from Futureway to Bell. I figure to tough it out on dialup for a couple of months and apply for IStop ADSL right after the switch to Bell. I'm using 295.ca for dialup and it works OK (Guess what their monthly rate is <g>). My only problem is that iptables is logging to the consoles and I try to stay in text console (80 x 48) as much as possible. Only apps that require a GUI get me to flip over to tty7. If I'm trying to do anything while connected, I see a message each time I get a suspicious hit. I do want to log them, but only to file, not to console. I'm using log-level 6, like so... [0:0] -A UNSOLICITED -j LOG --log-prefix "UNSOLICITED:" --log-level 6 [0:0] -A UNSOLICITED -j DROP The manpage is totally useless. I presume I have to use a different log-level, but which one ? -- Walter Dnes <waltdnes-SLHPyeZ9y/tg9hUCZPvPmw at public.gmane.org> Email users are divided into two classes; 1) Those who have effective spam-blocking 2) Those who wish they did -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
