Chris,
I would be happy to do a demonstration. We just released a web-calendaring
package called "Connect Daily". The software is proprietary, but it's pretty
cool, and runs on Linux. The calendaring software is designed for web-
publishing of calendars and schedules. It's well suited for municipalities,
schools, churches, etc.
The two things that really set this package apart from others is:
1) Outstanding recurring event handling, including exceptions.
2) Resource Management, including Gantt charts, approvals, and conflict
checking.
We could do a quick demo in 10 minutes or so, or a complete demo in up to 1/2
hour. About all we need to demo it is an Internet connection. If that's really
a problem, I could bring a machine with me that has it installed.
If you want to take a look at it, you can visit:

Hi Hugh,
I had the same problem. I did a ps to find exactly how rsync was being
executed on
the src side and with my setup it looked as follows:
rsync --server -vlogDtprz --delete . /destination-directory
so I added the following to my authorized_keys2 file on the destination
server:
from="src_host",no-pty,no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,command="rsync
--server -vlogDtprz --delete . /destination-directory"
My simple script looks as follows:
#!/bin/bash
#
#
# Back up the defender
LOG=/var/log/bak/log_file
date >>$LOG
/usr/bin/rsync -e ssh -azv --delete \
--exclude "/proc/" \
--exclude "/tmp/" \
--exclude "/var/tmp/" \
--exclude "/var/log/" \
--exclude "/var/run/" \
--exclude "/var/lock/" \
--exclude "/var/spool/squid1/" \
--exclude "/var/spool/squid2/" \
--exclude "/home/" \
/ dest_host:/dest_directory >>$LOG 2>&1
echo -e "$(date)\n" >>$LOG
Since this is on my little home firewall I just backup everything but it
is so static
that not much needs to transfered at any given time. I also dump the
home directories
and the mail spool at different intervals into the same destination so I
can use the same
key and key command on the destination side.
Hope that helps,
Mark

Somone needs to bring a speaker-phone that uses just regular POTS. I
realized today when doing a demo for NCLUG that I didn't have one...

I believe there is an ethernet jack in the front of the room. I'm not
sure if there's a phone plug for the POTS speakerphone for the VoIP
demo, but there's probably one in the building.
In any case, it sounds like we've got several demos ready - I like the
sound of all of them. I'm thinking 15 or 20 minutes each would work
well, some can take less, some could take more. I might be able to
dig up a demo myself... there's a very nice audio program I used in
combination with the Gimp to make the pictures for the presentation I
gave on one of my research projects last week. Layers let you do cool
things.

I don't know anything about C.U.'s phone system, but I wouldn't plug any pone
I care about into a strange phone jack in a large institution like that . . .
If it is a PBX it will probably let the smoke out of the smoke-driven
components in the phone.

No need for POTS jacks. The VoIP Blasters have RJ-11 jacks on them.

"Workstation" refers to an pre-defined set of installation packages. It
includes few server applications. Custom allows one to include or exclude
major component groups during the installation process.
Custom should only be chosen by those familiar with configuring the major
server components, since there are security implications when doing
installing these.

I tend to choose Custom and then select "Everything" (at the bottom of
the subsequent list). Disk is cheap, and I don't like wasting time
going back to fetch RPMs later. Plus, it largely eliminates the
dependency hunt problem. Another benefit is that you'll be likely to
have the latest version if you use an automated RPM update system; I've
seen people go back to distribution CDs and install older, vulnerable
versions of packages and forget to immediately update. Of course, YMMV.

This probably goes without saying, but be sure to turn off ALL network
servers BEFORE putting the machine on the 'net. You can use 'netstat
-pan' or 'lsof -i' to see what's on. Once RPMs are updated, only then
should you turn back on any services that are needed. To be thorough,
also check the state of services after a reboot (while unplugged from
the 'net).
