2002-03-12 Thread Amit Sharma


fsck can check bad sectors for you
if you want to sync the data just type "sync"
else if you are the tod-phod kind wanting to play with journaling systems 
try XFS it's better than ext3.

Re: [ilugd]: linux utilities

2002-03-12 Thread Naresh Narang

I think what he wanted to know was if we can detect
and mark bad sectors on the hard disk. It is possible
with "format" command in Solaris but is there any such
thing for Linux?

Naresh

2002-03-12 Thread Raju Mathur

Ah, some information finally!  I talked to Jeebesh of Sarai, and he's
got everything under control.  RMS will be giving one talk at least at
Sarai itself, to which are all invited, and we shall know the rest of
his programme too within a day.

Sarai is sponsoring RMS' airfare, stay and transport in Delhi.

I've created a list for discussion of this visit, anyone who's
interested in joining please send a message to
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe with
`subscribe' in the subject line.  To post to the list, send mail to
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Alex M Alex contacted a group called Sarai that is arranging to host
me and also setting up a speech.  I have also tried to contact the U
of Delhi CS dept to see if they want a speech.

The main reason I chose to go to Delhi was so I could meet with
government people.  There are various efforts to try to put me in
touch with some people I should meet with.  If you have government
contacts and think you can help, please write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and

Re: [ilugd]: Wireless Internet Accese

2002-03-12 Thread Sandip Bhattacharya

On Wed, Mar 13, 2002 at 01:26:53PM +0800, Sanjeev Gupta spoke out thus:
> What will your ISP say about this?  And are you not then an ISP, and need to be 
>licenced?

Sputnik specifically mentions this in it's Acceptable Use policy
[http://www.sputnik.com/network/aups.html]. Distributing ISP allocated
bandwidth is generally a no-no for most ISPs and for some good reason.

But what I am curious to know is does the usage of Sputnik makes
anyone in India liable for legal infringement?

What if I want to setup Sputnik in an office so that those with Laptops
can move around freely between the rooms? What if I want to use it
at home so that I can sit in my apartment lawn to access the Net?

Sputnik has strong user authentication. So using it and letting my
father browse the Net from his desktop accessing Sputnik as his access
point, is equivalent of running a local LAN in my home. And so what
happens if I "forget" to set the pasword to my Sputnik network access
point? Am I suddenly getting regarded as an unlicenced ISP?

My point is aren't there too many gray areas in this technology? Or
probably the law was made without the knowledge of such technologies
emerging. 

My guess is that we will soon see proliferation of Sputnik or
Sputnik-like technologies in and around India, albeit in very small
pockets, but it is an extremely slippery subject for enforcing of any
restrictions.
