Bruce Perens' Open Source Series

Unlike other cross-platform GUI toolkits (Tcl/Tk, Qt, AWT) wxWidgets

supports the native look-and-feel of the local OS. And unlike Qt, wxWidgets is

truly Open Source. It also works with virtually every standard C++ compiler.

It is a perfect solution for organizations interested in porting Windows

applications to Linux and other platforms. And with Mac OS X and Linux

gaining marketshare daily, many organizations -- including Xerox, Advanced

Micro Devices, AOL, Lockheed Martin, NASA--have adopted wxWidgets in

order to support Windows, Linux, OS X, and Unix for their applications. See

And wxWidgets is HOT. Mitch Kapor's OSAF is using wxWidgets for its

Chandler PIM. Bram Cohen uses wxWidgets for BitTorrent. Borland has

added enormous credibility to wxWidgets by incorporating it into its newest

C++ IDE: C++ BuilderX. wxWidgets is Borland's cross-platform

development solution.

Part of the Bruce Perens' Open Source Series, this book starts with introduction to intrusion detection and covers the five basic areas of Snort: 1)Installation. 2)Managing rules. 3)Managing input and out plugins. 4)Using MySQL with Snort to keep data in a database. 5)Web based user interface (ACID and Snortsnarf) to analyze data generated by Snort. In addition, the book contains appendices to provide information to readers including packet headers, XML DTD and so on.

This book describes how to build a development environment based upon Linux systems. It provides a one-stop-reference on all the tools used by the Open Source community for development purposes. It includes information about open source and GNU tools incuding editors, compilers and assemblers, debuggers, version control systems, Java and other Open Source utilities commonly used during the development process. It also includes a chapter on how to use Linux for cross-platform development systems. The book is useful for all developers as a reference to development tools.

Samba use continues to grow, particularly amongst Windows users. The

updates to the software have been extensive and this revised edition covers

structural changes and new features. Samba 3 will continue to dominate as

Samba 4 will not release for some time and will not be taken up strongly for at

least two years. Users have been asking for an updated book NOW. The

collected information this book conveys comes from answers given to

subscribers on the Samba mailing lists. Each question and answer has been

further investigated and documented. Particular coverage is given to all new

functionality and features introduced in Samba 3.0.14 (Replaceable password

backends, loadable virtual file system modules, implementation of advanced

management concepts, and much more). This book helps readers deploy

Samba 3.0.14, the latest version available this coming June. Existing Samba

users will appreciate the information on what is new with Samba 3.0.14. This

book also eases the transition for those switching over from Microsoft

Windows Server. 2003

Here is the Samba-3 tour guide you have been searching for! The complete

configuration files, step-by-step implementation instructions, network

diagrams, and automated scripts in this book make Samba-3 deployment a

breeze. From small office networks to enterprise environments, here are

proven configurations and expert guidance you won't find anywhere else.

Long-term Samba Team member John H. Terpstra covers all these scenarios,

and more. SAMBA-3 By Example is the manual that teaches you how to drive

Samba.

Linux is a wise choice for many home and business users. It is powerful, as

stable as any commercial operating system, secure, and best of all, it is open

source. One of the biggest deciding factors on whether to use Linux at home

or at work can be service and support. Thousands of volunteers from around

the world develop Linux so it is not always clear whom to turn to when

something goes wrong.

There is a wealth of resources for Linux users to turn to when things go wrong,

unlike proprietary operating systems. These include sophisticated debugging

tools, access to the thousands of volunteers that develop Linux, and, of course,

the Linux source code itself. Making the most of these resources is called 'selfservice'

and is the main topic covered by this book.
