N access point
by Kevin Scott 30 Sep '08

30 Sep '08

B has better range then G... I've gotten a block out of B, but only a building with G, wireless networks drop to B if the G signal isn't high enough, in addition, most wireless specs, the receive sensitivity is much higher for B then G, lastly, the power output is higher for B. But as for N access points, I still go with the router, turn off the DHCP server, and any NAT features and you have an access point. Some Belkin (shudders at suggesting this brand though) routers have an option in … [View More]

[OT] 802.11N access point.
by Sean Cody 29 Sep '08

29 Sep '08

Anyone have any suggestions on an 802.11n ACCESS POINT. I don't need a router or router like functionality... I just need an AP (wireless bridge). Just finding AP only systems is being unusually difficult as all I see in stores are routers. I'm sure the routers will work as APs but given my experience in this arena it is a bit hit or miss. I currently use a Linksys WAP54G but am looking for something a bit better (big file transfers are annoying over wireless) preferably with … [View More]

Where did Rails Manitoba go?
by Sean Walberg 28 Sep '08

28 Sep '08

Is that group still around? The domain name has been taken over by someone else and the Google group is stagnant. Have they renamed under a non-obvious title? Any other groups in the city meet to discuss Rails? Thanks, Sean -- Sean Walberg <sean(a)ertw.com> http://ertw.com/

MUUG Board Elections - FINAL CALL for Nominations
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 23 Sep '08

23 Sep '08

Hear ye, hear ye! This is the FINAL CALL for nominees to participate in the election for the MUUG board. Those elected will serve from October 2008 until October 2009. The deadline to nominate yourself, or someone else, is September 30, 2007. Instructions follow. The MUUG board is charged with coordinating the meetings and other events by the group. It's fun, and you get a role in guiding the group. All are encouraged to apply. ------------------------ MUUG Board Elections - Call for … [View More]Nominations Every October the Manitoba Unix User Group holds its Annual Meeting, the main goals of which are to elect a new Board of Directors and to pass any special resolutions. (Aside from that, it is a regular meeting) Any MUUG member in good standing can be nomi-nated to run for a position on the Board. As of this writing, the following members of the cur-rent Board have let their names stand for re-election: Gilbert Detillieux Systems Analyst University of Manitoba Michael Doob Professor University of Manitoba Kevin McGregor Network Analyst City of Winnipeg Montana Quiring Systems Administrator University of Manitoba Doug Shewfelt Systems Specialist City of Winnipeg Adam Thompson Consultant athompso.net Of course, this list is just a starting point. Any member in good standing of the group can be nominated simply by getting the support of one other member. If you feel you would like to contribute to the group by running for a board position, please don't hesitate to do so. (In fact, we'd like to see the number of board members increase.) If you want to be nominated, or to nominate someone else, send a letter to the group's postal box or deliver it in person to a current board member. The letter must contain the name, title, and employer of the nominee, along with a short (100 word or so) biography, and must contain the signatures of the nominee and one other member. The letter must be received no later than September 30, 2008, which is 14 days prior to the October 14 meeting. Although the by-laws require that the nominations be done in writing, with signatures, you can speed up the process by sending e-mail to <election(a)muug.mb.ca>, with the above information, and sending the signed paper copy later. In this case, please include the e-mail address of both the nominee and the supporter on the CC: list of the message, so that all parties concerned have a record of the communication. Nominees should familiarize themselves with the MUUG bylaws, found here: http://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/bylaws/ If you have any questions about the election or the nomination process, please contact Gilbert Detillieux, either by phone (474-8161) during business hours, or by e-mail to <election(a)muug.mb.ca> anytime.

Choosing server software
by Mike Pfaiffer 18 Sep '08

18 Sep '08

I'm volunteering with a non-for-profit group. Part of the mandate is to provide local internet services to a particular part of town. Apparently all the agreements are in place and the papers signed. I've been asked to extend the range of an existing public access service as well as provide replacement web space for half a dozen groups/clubs. The hardware is older PC hardware donated to one of the groups. I'm not sure exactly what they have (neither are they) so I'm going to assume I have … [View More]

I figure out the problem. even though I had copied my rt3 install to /var/www/html from /opt (even though it seemed to want me to put it on opt) it was still using files from /opt/rt3 my httpd.conf points to /var/www/html/rt3 but for some reason it's looking for the files in /opt/rt3 *shrug* must be a setting somewhere that I missed. thanks for the help Adam. -Montana On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 6:49 PM, Adam Thompson <athompso(a)athompso.net> wrote: > On Mon, Sep 8, 2008 at 3:51 PM, … [View More]

Request Tracker
by Montana Quiring 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

Hello, So far Request Tracker is working out well. Thanks for the suggestion/help. I would like to simplify the "Create a new ticket" page, so I've tried editing this file: share/html/Ticket/Create.html unfortunatly it seems to make no difference, and the page never changes when I view it in a web browser. Is this a Apache, or FastCGI caching problem? Suggestions, please? -- -Montana My Netvibes page: http://www.netvibes.com/antikx#About_Montana

Thanks for the suggestions Sean. It helped me to eventually figure out the problem.... the username and group settings were too far down in the httpd.conf file once I moved it up to the top, it was fine. now to configure RT. ya! -Montana On Wed, Sep 3, 2008 at 7:23 AM, Sean Walberg <sean(a)ertw.com> wrote: > Do you have a FastCgiIpcDir directive in httpd.conf?
