After a long absence, I'm finlly back in business, now running on SuSE 9.1 --- My original install went through one too many fscks and I was relegated to "root" to get in, so I didn't do a whole lot. On top of that I had major problems with CenturyTel, changing my ISP and accessing their server in Savannah. Of course they don't support Linux, mostly because they're too lazy to learn something better. Gary Hildebrand St. Joseph, MO

Anyone Need an archive of the mailing list since 12/1/2004? As far as I know, it's complete. And getting ready to be deleted as I empty out all 1357 message to make room for the next few months. If you need or want this archive, I can send it to you in mbox.bz2 form. (that's the entire archive in 1 mbox file). Let me know a.s.a.p. Tom

Re: Linux Certification

Is there the MidWesterner "catch" to the RHCE/RHCT test still, that one must pick a coast to travel to, in order to take either test? Or is there a more local testing center for the RHCE/RHCT? I know that you can take CompTIA's "Linux+" test here at the Prometric Testing Center in Lenexa, having taken and passed said certification, but its a written test and thus unlikely to get the same prestige as the RHCE/RHCT test. --- Brad <brad(a)bradandkim.net> wrote: > On Mon, 2005-04-18 at 10:58 -0700, Linux Rocks > wrote: > > Howdy: > > > > I was considering to pursue a Linux certification. > > According to your opinion which certification is > > better or more rewarding to pursue, if any. > > > > Thank you in advance. > > > Though it is distro-specific, I think that RHCE is > the top Linux > certification.

It may have changed. 'Man join' or 'info coreutils join' should get you there. also you can specify which field is the match field for each file with options -1 and -2. Also, the files have to be sorted on the key field. I know this may not be as exciting as writing an awk or shell script, but it should get the job done. And if you need to remove any columns from the final file "cut" should do the job. So if you need to sort the files then match them and then cut fields out: !/bin/bash # my file merger script sort -k12.14 vpifile > file1 sort -k1.14 ipfile > file2 join -1 2 -2 1 file1 file2 > file2a sort -k16.9 file2a > file2b sort -k1.9 macfile > file3 join -1 1 -2 2 file3 file2a > file3a cut 2 file3a > tadafile #end Of course you'll have to replace the values for filenames, keyfileds and such.

It's on Monrovia or Rosehill just south of 87th in Lenexa. If you don't get that one you will be going to St Louis, Minneapolis, Denver, Chicago or somewhere not too far away. Brad

I have to disagree with this statement. I can only assume the writer of the article didn't know what he was doing. I have no problems with plain vanilla Word docs. I do have trouble with Word retaining the update link capability between table of contents on docs created in OO, but rarely do I have a formatting disaster going either way.

OT: captchas
by Tim reid 18 Apr '05

18 Apr '05

I have a question for the CS majors ;) Captchas http://www.captcha.net/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha Has anyone ever seen any writing on the idea of caching the different captcha images, manually decoding them and storing the "meaning" of the captcha in a database. Then cross referencing the "meaning" of the captcha with the image filename. That way you would have the ability to have a bot load a page/service protected by a captcha, read the image filename, and decode the captcha. Is this a valid idea?

Re: Migrating to Linux - WP

The new beta also provides for a database front end. The features page for the beta suggests that OO.org always had a db tool, but only now have they begun work making it more visible and public. But more related to the thread is their WordPerfect filter. A good description here: http://wp.openoffice.org/filter.html Basically, they say right now it can import most WP documents but they don't have an export filter yet. Seeing as how I don't own WP I can't very easily test that feature for accuracy, but the mailing list (the parts that work anyways) seem to imply that it isn't perfect yet, but then this is a beta, after all.

Re: Zone File Help
by Jonathan Hutchins 17 Apr '05

Jim, I must apologise, looking through all of my named config files I can't find one that has "@TTL" in it. I just mis-read something. What I do have is a couple of files that don't have the $TTL declaration as the first line, but begin with the "@ A IN SOA..." line and no preceeding "$TTL". The only problems I have are with some of the dynamic DNS addresses, and for some reason with all of the speedera.net addresses like www.nasa.gov, which always come back unknown.
