Weekly IRC reminder
by Neill Newman 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

This is the automated ALUG IRC meeting reminder sent to remind you that there is an IRC meeting tonight (Monday) at 8.00pm. The meeting takes place on the irc server irc.alug.org.uk in the #alug channel. Most IRC clients should allow you to get there with the commands "/server irc.alug.org.uk" and "/join #alug". Popular IRC clients include tkirc, bitchx, xchat and EPIC on Unix, and Mirc under windows. Here are some links to help you get started with irc. Unix http://www.xchat.org/ http://freshmeat.net/ http://www.epicsol.org/ Windows http://www.mirc.com (loads of help with irc for newbies!)

Re: [ALUG] Lucent hardware modem
by Richard Lewis 01 Feb '04

Ah ha! I've got it! KPPP lists the devices /dev/modem, /dev/ttyS0-3 but these don't all exist on my machine. What I do have, however, is /dev/ttyS[0,1,4]. So I tried # ln -s /dev/ttys[0,1,4] /dev/modem and, finally, ttyS4 worked! (Without any drivers or anything; it definitely is a hardware modem!) Cheers for suggestions, Richard

Does anyone recognise themselves here?

I just received what is probably a copy of MyDoom. It looks like it might be somebody on Alug: Received: from cpc1-norw2-3-0-cust125.pete.cable.ntl.com (HELO mdmbill.com) (81.100.212.125) by tuschin.blackcatnetworks.co.uk with SMTP; 31 Jan 2004 10:43:42 -0000 Note that mdmbill.com is not work-safe. If you recognise yourself as the sender, you probably want to clean up your computer and install some anti-virus software :) /Kirsten

MySQL Hot Failover
by James Green 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Evening all, We have a requirement to turn some MySQL databases into something more rugged - specifically fully redundant. The best option I think would be a small cluster - with one single IP address to connect to (VRRP?), multiple hardware behind it, each node fully synchronised with its peers. Problem: how? MySQL Master/slave replication isn't what I'm looking for. Googling turns up a couple of commercial solutions: emicnetworks.com openminds.co.uk But they are proprietary and could cause problems by themselves. Has anyone here looked into this, or better solved the problem and if so how? Thanks, James P.S. Got my USB camera working - needed scsi disk support in the kernel - doh!
