   Thought Linux Gazette might like this one. A project called Captive has
   taken a wine like approach and combined some features from ReactOS....
   Microsoft Windows ntfs.sys driver and actually getting full r/w this way.

   Is the URL.

re: Renaming Ethernet Devices

     In response to 2 Cent Tip #14 in issue 64
     ([72]http://linuxgazette.net/issue64/lg_tips64.html#tips/14)whichitself
     claims to refer back to February 2000 (issue 50). Must be a y2k bug,
     though, because I couldn't find the more ancient reference myself. The
     fact is, this hasn't changed any, the tip is just as valid as ever, and
     more useful now that more people might use multiple ethernet cards to run
     their house LANs. Enjoy. -- Heather

   After reading your post I found this. I figured it would help someone.

Anonymous batch FTP -> SFTP

   Until  recently  we  had a remote machine doing a nightly FTP-job over
   anonymous FTP to a local machine. Both machines have ssh2 installed, so we
   started using sftp instead. Here's how we did it:

     On local machine:

    1. create a normal user sftp
    2. mkdir /home/sftp/.ssh/

   On remote machine:

    1. su <user-who's-doing-the-nightly-jobs>
    2. ssh-keygen -t dsa
    3. give ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub to admin of local machine

   On local machine:

     save contents of retrieved id_dsa.pub into /home/sftp/.ssh/authorized_keys

   On remote machine:

sftp sftp@local_machine

   That's  it.  To  make the sftp-account more restricted, we use scponly
   ([75]http://www.sublimation.org/scponly).

- close that audio stream

   Third times a charm :-)

   Last night I left my zinf (streaming audio) player running. I felt bad
   because doing so wasted bandwidth playing music to a muted amplifier in an
   empty room. Here is my bash solution, a la run-mozilla.sh

[allan@array14 workarea]$ cat ~/bin/run-zinf.sh
#!/bin/sh

# June 25, 2003
# Kills zinf after HR_LIMIT

AUDIO_STREAMER="/opt/bin/zinf"
HR_LIMIT=8

$AUDIO_STREAMER $@ &
echo "killall ${AUDIO_STREAMER}"| at now +${HR_LIMIT} hours

[allan@array14 workarea]$

     As a general note, just want to remind folks ... do send in your answers
     and  tips of all sorts! In case you're wondering to where -- that's
     [77]tag@linuxgazette.net. They don't always get published in the month we
     receive them, but we do collect them and mix them up a bit. And sometimes
     we find strays -- this one had been sent to the editors, not to the normal
     tips-and-tag mailbox. -- Heather
