[arch-general] The principle behind MSN & Yahoo invisible scanners?
by Nilesh Govindarajan 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

Go to google.com and search for MSN & Yahoo invisible scanners. You'll find a big list. So what's the principle of their working? I'm thinking of writing a pidgin plugin to catch invisible buddies. -- Regards, Nilesh Govindarajan Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/nilesh.gr Twitter: http://twitter.com/nileshgr Website: http://www.itech7.com VPS Hosting: http://www.itech7.com/a/vps

[arch-general] Something is wrong with xbindkeys
by 大熊 07 Sep '10

07 Sep '10

I use xbindkeys under kde4 (start xbindkeys with kde's autorun), add some hotkeys: win+a, win+c, win+h, win+j, ... When kde4.4, All are OK. Few days ago I upgraded to kde4.5 , So something is wrong: When I just enter desktop, some keys( win+h, win+j) would be invalid, but when I restart xbindkeys, All keys will be OK again!

[arch-general] [OffTopic] Wireless keyboard Security
by Partha Chowdhury 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Recently I am looking for an ergonomic keyboard to replace my old samsung pleomax keyboard. I wanted to buy microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard 4000 but that is not in the market and the only other keyboard I find is logitech ergonomic keyboard K350.The keyboard is very comfortable to type and works out-of-the box with linux. But the thing is that it is wireless and after a search of "wireless keyboard security" on google i am a bit paranoid about using any wireless keyboard.Also I did not find any encryption option if used by the keyboard while using the logitech provided setpoint software on windows XP and logitech site does not mention if the keyboard uses encryption.Does this keyboard uses some hardware in-built encryption that logitech does not divulge ? If others on the list are using wireless keyboard, what are your experiences and recommendations ?

[arch-general] Read permissions on /var/log/auth.log being reverted
by E Wilson 06 Sep '10

06 Sep '10

Hi group When I make my auth.log file world-readable (big security risk), the system reverts it to unreadable by world. Could someone tell me what kind program/daemon is changing the permissions back and if said daemon has a log somewhere. I would like to shake its hand. something out of cron? This is Arch running in a hosted VM environment. Thanks E Wilson (New Linux and Arch User)
