It is actually possible to get HSBC online banking working with FireFox
Linux (as I do). Instructions detailed in a previous post here:

  http://www.lugs.org.sg/pipermail/slugnet/2005-September/014259.html

They have a small JavaScript bug on their login page (that can be worked
around) - aside from that, the rest of the functionality works fine in
Firefox (and works on Macintosh Firefox without any hacks I believe).

Re: [OT] Internet browsers and online banking

Following up on this

I am able to get DBS Personal Ebanking to work on Firefox with Java

But I'm unable to get DBS Corporate Ebanking to work - their IDEALS
portal ... anyone?

Re: [OT] Internet browsers and online banking

Actually, I had already filed a complaint to HSBC
about its non-support of browsers other than IE a few
months back.  A nice chap (who's a linux supporter
himself) called to give me an update.  According to
him, firefox will be supported in early 2006.  But
linux support is still quite far away.

But do file a complaint, more noise prompts faster
action I would say.

Initiatives to keep track of OSS developments in .sg

Hi all,

I am trying to gather updates on OSS development in Singapore
for the year 2006 (and hopefully 2007 and so on). If you know 
of any updates/news/photos (i.e. XYZ train system running on 
Linux, ABC school using gimp for their photo-editing courses, 
etc), please let me know because I might miss it. I need 
everyone's help in this. Thanks!

You can access these updates at http://www.anomalistic.org/sgoss/

Maybe I can try to give quarterly updates at lugs meeting if I
can gather enough materials.

Eugene

Eugene -

Hi.  I think there is a page on the LUGS wiki for this.  Please
consider using that as well.

dereference null (from nlug)

I thought that this challenge is quite interesting.

Although he already released a solution for his challenge,
I don't really like his solution and there is a shorter way 
to do it (one-line). You can read through the thread to get
some hints. Let's see if anyone lugs people solve it. Those
who already know the solution, post to me instead (no spoliters).

----

Okay so here's this week's challenge:

dereference null, don't segfault, don't setup a signal handle for
SIGSEGV.... forinstance the following snippet of code will derefence
null.

--snip--snip--snip--
#include <stdio.h>
/* any othe libs you'd like that aren't signal.h */

int main (void) {

        unsigned long int foo = 0;
        printf("this is foo: %lu\n", foo);

        /* ... some code here that's not a signal handler */

        /* very explicitly dereference null */
        foo = *((unsigned long int *)NULL);
        printf ("this is foo after derefernce of null: %lu\n", foo);

Load Balance 2 adsl line for incoming traffic. (gotta be creative with DNS)

I am trying to replace an old Radware Linkproof appliance that does load balancing for 2 internet lines for both incoming and outgoing. Load balancing for outgoing traffic is easy as there's no DNS in play and its just adding 2 default route to the linux box.

For incoming traffic, this will be a little tricky. I will need the linux load balancer to run DNS service (Bind). ie. 2 dns on the 2 separate lines. Ie. on 222.164.164.53 for the DNS on the starhub line, and 165.21.56.56 for the singnet line. We will have 2 different pool of public IP address.

For instance pop3 mail server
private ip 10.18.54.1
public starhub ip: 222.164.164.54
public singnet ip: 165.21.56.57


Such that when a outside host tries to access for instance pop3 server, the linux box doing the load balance and will choose which ip address it will nat to. singnet or starhub since 1 private ip address has gotta 1 singnet public and 1 starhub ip address.

I was wondering if a linux box has such capabilities and if someone can point me to a howto or tutorial that covers this.

What kind of licensing to put under?

Dear all,

The student LUGS group of NUS (linuxNUS) is setting up an opensource 
portal at http://opensource.nus.edu.sg/. It is, sadly, still very much 
in progress. We are thinking of making a wiki listing HOWTOs and 
opensource programs (maybe reviews of them too).

We are thinking of licensing the original contents of the site under an 
appropriate Creative Commons license. However, we do not know how to 
handle content which are derived/leeched and posted to the site. As the 
wiki is open to all registered users, and the site lists opensource 
software (and reviews), a significant portion of the contents might be 
of these sort.

Does anyone have some advice on how we can phrase the licensing and the 
terms and conditions to users? We are rather worried about having an SCO 
or RIAA case slapped on us.

Thanks a lot for everybody's help! =)
