00:13.03murblepong
00:13.25Leedspong
00:14.43resuDaed_sshmurble : do you know the modem command to dial out, but not attempt to detect a carrier? (ie so that a phone can be picked up on the same line, then the modem hang up and no horrible noises)?
00:14.51resuDaed_sshor Leeds for that matter
00:15.30LeedsI think I used to use atd
00:16.18Leedswhen I wrote myself a dialler in tcl/tk about 6 years ago :-)
00:17.12davilionpoong
00:17.56resuDaed_sshdavilion : a moment ago I had 5 seconds lag
00:18.06resuDaed_sshthanks Leeds
00:19.10pdratdt for tone dialling
00:19.13pdrpong
00:19.15pdr:)
00:19.41resuDaed_sshpdr : but if you use atdt it will attempt to detect a carrier
00:19.46davilionyeah but if you atdt it will then try to negotiate
00:19.56pdroh ok
00:20.13pdrso you can just use 'atd123'?
00:21.11pdriirc, you have to do 'atdt123' or 'atdd123' the latter for decadin dialling
00:22.59resuDaed_sshI shall check
00:25.24Leedsthe t is pretty much optional now
00:25.54LeedsI think it will listen for a carrier, but not try to initiate a connection - there's probably an S register you can play with
00:28.10pdrLeeds: that sounds more like it
00:30.13LeedsI have many things "somewhere in my flat" - doesn't mean I can produce them
00:30.54resuDaed_sshok, /me has a problem ...
00:31.11resuDaed_ssh2 serial ports, 1 serial mouse, 1 unconfigured cisco router and an external modem
00:31.26resuDaed_ssh:(
00:31.38Leedsdo without the mouse
00:32.05Leedsassuming it's only temporary while you configure the router
00:33.09davilionhttp://docs.kde.org/en/3.1/kdenetwork/kppp/appendix-hayes-commands.html
00:33.52Leedswho'd have thought it - something useful from KDE :-)
00:36.09Leedsanyway - bedtime... good luck, resuDaed
01:08.59highburyany sign of any emails on the list yet?
01:10.08resuDaedhighbury : I was wondering the same thing
01:10.34resuDaedI havn't checked my emails in 12 hours, and nothing new has arrived ... confused the hell out of me

09:16.26TarragonHi dpash
09:17.59SpudULikeTeachers strike, hence no word about the book day.

09:22.02Tarragondpash: The twitching eyes, the constant strain to stay awake, the temper forever about to vary, or he crossdresses - hard to say really
09:22.14SpudULike;-)
09:23.43SpudULikeYou remember the poor sod that no one would open the door for so that he could get into the downstairs bar with three pints?
09:23.54dpashah yes

15:25.08TarragonIs OpenBSD more secure than Linux? Is so why. And if so why does everyone not change to it?
15:27.00dank_workIt doesn't do SMP
15:27.09dank_workDoesn't have as many desktop features
15:27.15dank_workDoesn't support pthreads
15:27.22dank_workBut, yes, it is more secure
15:27.28nasrat"out of the box"
15:27.30dank_workAnd makes a great server or firewall
15:27.56nasratTarragon: If you want a secure linux distro try Owl
15:28.05dank_workIt's likely the code is more secure than the Linux code
15:28.05dank_workde
15:28.09dank_workurg
15:29.06highburyThe main thing about OpenBSD, is that the people behind it are committed to actively code/source code reviews

15:30.28dank_work:)
15:30.32dank_workHi, BTW.
15:30.49dank_workhighbury: Hence the code is likely to be more secure
15:31.07highburyLinux distros are hampered by being so big, there's soo much to audit, in terms of checking for poor code/buffer overflows etc
15:31.31dank_workOpenBSD doesn't audit the ports tree
15:31.35dank_workOnly their core distribution
15:32.00highburytrue Dan
15:32.44nasratowl is audited by Solar Designer though http://www.openwall.com/Owl/
15:32.53pequodim thinkin of moving to bsd
15:33.37pequodlinux really sux
15:33.49dank_work:)
15:34.23pequodthe only thing good about linux is the drivers
15:35.02highburyand its success
15:35.05pequodi hear bsd dont have much supported hardware?
15:35.12dank_workThat's not true
15:35.22dank_workThey had better USB and wireless networking before Linux did
15:35.29highburythere's just not as many people working on stuff

15:43.22pequodno, but i might if i can be bothered
15:43.41pequodi dont like to rush myself
15:44.19highburywhy 2.2?
15:44.32pequodand its not something thats urgent im probably going to use XIP instead
15:45.48pequodit's just that i have already done alot of hacking on 2.2 and can't be bothered moving to 2.4
15:46.21pequod2.2 is a bit smaller too

15:50.41nasratpequod: yeah, it's ok if you know C already :)

21:22.44marko85_uki type xf86config
21:22.49marko85_ukbut it doesnt seem to do it
21:31.59pdrhey marko
21:32.28pdrwhich distro are you using?
21:32.54marko85_ukhey pdr
21:32.59marko85_uki am using red hat linux 8.0
21:33.12marko85_uki tried everything
21:33.24marko85_ukxf86config
21:33.27pdrok, do you have either XF86Setup or Xconfigurator?
21:33.39marko85_uki tried redhat-config-xfree86
21:33.41pdrthey're much nicer than xf86config which is *very* old
21:33.52marko85_uki tried xconfigurator
21:34.02marko85_ukonly thing that works is setup
21:34.40pdrcan you not get the redhat config program to work?
21:35.42marko85_ukpdr i dont know if i am typing the right command
21:35.47marko85_uki mean everyone tells me that
21:35.55marko85_ukand it doesnt seem to work
21:36.06pdrare you using a shell which has 'completion'?
21:36.33marko85_uki am not sure that i understand what completion is
21:38.11pdr'completion' is when you hit the TAB key to complete a command (if one exists).  when you're first starting out, it's an easy way to find the right spelling of a command.
21:38.43marko85_uki think Xconfigurator
21:38.46marko85_ukis case sensitive
21:38.57pdrit's all case sensitive :-)
21:39.04pdrthat's where completion is nice
21:39.06marko85_ukwell no one told me that
21:39.06marko85_ukhehe
21:39.13marko85_ukill be back soon ok
21:39.26pdryou can type Xconf and then hit TAB twice to list possible commpletions
21:40.25pdr[note to any sticks: I'm aware that POSIX completion is ESC ESC, but I'm guessing he's using default bash setup.]
21:41.32dpashhi all
21:41.47pdrhi dave
21:41.57dpashpdr: POSIX can kiss my furry arse
21:42.11pdrESC ESC and ESC = are actually pretty nice
21:42.28dpashtab all the way baby
21:42.30pdrespecially when on some weird-arse non-bash shell

21:44.20dpashpdr: thanks I needed that
21:44.27dpashcache
21:44.52pdrsounds like something you don't want to do
21:44.59pdrfor what purpose?
21:45.31dpashpdr: I have a site where a web filter is using a squid box as a cache, but it isn;t caching anything
21:45.43dpashI think the webfilter is telling it not to cache anything
21:45.55dpashI need to force it to cache stuff
21:46.17pdrdo the urls have "?"s in them?  I'm pretty sure that squid won't cache if that's the case.
21:47.18dpashgrep HIT access.log | wc -l = 0
21:47.29dpashalll day every day
21:47.40dpashyou can't tell me that everything is uncacheable
21:47.54pdrthis is general traffic?
21:48.07dpashall I can think of is that the webfilter is using the Cache-control header to prevent caching
21:48.13dpashpdr: it is a school
21:48.18pdrare you sure it's going through squid at all?
21:49.01dpashwc access..og > 0
21:49.39pdrmaybe squid's in "web acceleration" mode..
21:50.56dpashnope
21:51.08dpashfairly default squid config
21:51.21dpashI can't work out why it isn;t working

23:26.37marko85_uki still didnt manage to fix my problem
23:26.46marko85_uki got into xf86config
23:26.59marko85_ukbut i dont see where i can just change the type of my video card
23:27.12marko85_uki can just change the refresh rate and memory of the card
23:27.25marko85_ukbut i am unable to change it from SIS 640 to SIS 520
23:27.34cupismarko85_uk: what distro are you using?
23:27.40marko85_ukred hat
23:27.43marko85_uk8.0
23:28.27cupismarko85_uk: don't redhat have a gui config tool to use instead of xf86config?
23:28.33dankolbXConfigurator
23:28.36marko85_ukbro my x wont start
23:28.49marko85_uki typed x and i press tab and it should list all the commands
23:28.59dankolbIt starts with a capital X
23:29.00cupismarko85_uk: you could edit /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 firectly.
23:29.14marko85_ukand i didnt manage to find the one that says XConfigurator
23:29.20pdrmarko85_uk: to get the list, you hit TAB twice.
23:29.28marko85_uki did

23:29.35pdrmarko85_uk: cool
