“Just edit this file…” “Err… how do I do that? When I type edit it just does nothing.” If you’re new to this UNIX lark, you will rapidly discover that more or less all of the configuration of your computer is done in text files, and that therefore you will need an editor to get things working. (Or at least, to follow the instructions that the weirdo hair-shirted gurus on the MailingList will try to get you to follow). Something which is usually implied is that you know how to edit these files, which implies [continued…] Setup Linux to authenticate against a Samba serverThis will show you how to setup Debian GNU/Linux to authenticate against a remote Samba server (Samba could also imply a Windows PDC too). It also details how to setup pam_mount to mount Samba shares automatically on login, so when a Samba user logs on to the Linux client, they get their $HOME as their home directory on the server. There’s also a shell script I devised to allow changing of passwords. The article is based on a Linux client running Debian unstable and a Samba server running on a Debian stable [continued…] When: 10:00 – 16:30, Saturday 4th July 2009 Where: SeminarRoom1, Southampton University.

Completed solutions should probably go in Useful One-Liners. Keeping while in contextFrom Bob Dunlop I’ve long been annoyed by the behaviour of Bash and pipelines as exhibited by the following small script. #!/bin/bash generate() { echo "one" echo "two" echo "three" } last="dummy" generate | while read x do last=$x echo "x= $x last= $last" done echo "last= $last"
Which produces the following output. x= one last= one x= two last= two x= three last= [continued...] When: 10:30 – 16:30, Saturday 12th May 2007 Where: ParkHallChurchHall Who Was ThereWhat Happened
For pretty much the first time in my life, I’m finding I really need a printer at home. In past times I’ve been quite happy to sneakily print off everything at university, at work, etc.. Several years ago I rescued a chunky old HP laser printer from the skip at work and that served me well for a few years… and then it died. Now I’m working from home a lot and this is becoming a real hassle, but budget is tight. So, can anyone recommend a very cheap mono laser printer for home Linux usage? I have few requirements: Building a firewall on a Linux system with a 2.6 series kernel involves the Netfilter iptables command. The 2.4 series kernel uses the ipchains command. The configuration of a Linux system’s firewall is often held in a script that is run at system boot. Crafting complex firewall script can take a long time, however there are some software projects to help make creating and managing your Linux firewalls easier.
