-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am very proud to announce a new minor release of dumpnet: 2.1.0! This is a minor release. It contains many small improvements and some great new features! It is considered the best dumpnet release ever. It is compatible to 2.x.x. Special thanks go to Istvan Sleder for showing me the power of rsync and Christian Elger for making me use VMWare - I just can't do without it anymore. New Features: - - Dumpnet was tested on SuSE, Fedora & Debian Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Cygwin (Windows). - - now also includes sample target host configurations not just for Linux und Cygwin but also for FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Solaris. - - NEW MODULE: dumpnet.host.fstab.rsync! It uses rsync(1) with it's --link-dest option. This will create hard links from the directory of the last successful backup to the current destination directory for unchanged files. Files with changed ownership or permissions will not be linked. Much less storage capacity is required on the dumpnet host as unchanged files are physically stored only = once. The downside is that if you mess up one file, multiple hard links pointing to this file will be affected. See http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/ for a more detailed description of the whole problem. - - moved development to sourceforge's CVS server Major Features: 1. Dumpnet is implemented in bash scripts only. 2. It's a hard disk based backup solution - no tapes are necessary. 3. The backup machine on which dumpnet is installed func- tions as a SSH client while the target hosts (the hosts to be backuped) function as SSH servers. Public key authentication is used. 4. Due to the use of SSH all traffic between the backup machine and the target hosts is encrypted and can be run over the Internet. 5. Dumpnet only needs to be installed on the backup machine. 6. Dumpnet is flexible and highly configurable. 7. Incremental filesystem backups can be done easily using dump, tar or rsync. 8. Integration of auditing and intrusion detection tools such as AIDE (Advanced Intrusion Detection Environ- ment) and nmap. 9. Full support for sudo - no remote root login is required. 10. The report generated about a backup session can be sent via email. Encryption using GnuPG is supported. 11. It provides extensive logging. 12. Dumpnet was tested on SuSE, Fedora & Debian Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris and Cygwin (Windows).

Dear Open Source developer I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate. You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it. With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development. With many thanks for your participation, Benno Luthiger PS: The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/. We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________ |
