-----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: This month the location has changed.
A Linux Users Group for beginners, the newcomers to Linux.
Topics begin with what the newest member wants.
Meetings are free and open to the public. You are invited to attend our
meetings. They are usually held on the fourth Tuesday of every month
from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM. The room will be open from 6:00 PM.
The December meetings are usually on the third Tuesday.
Users that bring their laptops (or even desktops) often connect to the
Internet for application installation and bookmarking of interesting
web sites. Early arrival may provide enough time to assist installation,
configuration and demonstration of Linux on hardware. Don't forget to
bring your keyboard, mouse and power-strip. Come early, come often!

ANTI-SPAM with Sender Policy Framework
by David (Dave) Forrest
Sometimes, a bit more action is needed to get e-mail SPAM to manageable
amounts. What do you use? IETF's Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is one of
the answers.
It was once known as “Sender PERMITTED FROM”, but now is actually
“Sender POLICY FRAMEWORK” and MUST be included in a TXT resource record.
Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is the current anti-spamming idea used by
gmail and others. SPF is a great technique to add authentication to your
emails. However it has some limitations.
Bring friends tonite!
BASE: File Permissions
by Stan Reichardt <https://www.sluug.org/bio/Stan_Reichardt.shtml>
A file is not merely its contents, a name, and a file type. A file also has an owner (a user ID), a group (a group ID), permissions (what the owner can do with the file, what people in the group can do, and what everyone else can do), various timestamps, and other information.
Each file has a set of "file mode bits" that control the kinds of access that users have to that file. They can be represented either in symbolic form or as an octal number.

will be available. Also, a very short annual meeting will be held, as
required by our by-laws.
NOTE: As of the time this message is being sent out, our SLUUG google
calendar of meetings in the STL Metro Area seems to be down.

Linux Configuration Workshop
Thursday, February 6th, 2019
from 6:00PM till 9:00PM Central Time
St. Louis County Library ~ Rock Road Branch
10267 Saint Charles Rock Road
St. Ann, MO 63074-1812
Take notice of local weather conditions, as the St. Louis County Library
system has been know to shutdown locations for public safety reasons.
We often hold a Linux Configuration Workshop when nothing else more
interesting comes up, or when there is no other event or activity
scheduled.
The workshop is where we usually examine, fix, repair, and troubleshoot,
difficult hardware and software configuration problems for Linux
newcomers. Problems with other operating systems and hardware are also
frequently fixed. We have full connectivity to the Internet on site
and know how to use it. Bring your laptop or desktop PC to our hands
on workshop to troubleshoot your Linux installation, network connection
or X Window GUI configuration problem.
Linux is an Internet capable Networking Operating System that provides
many fully functional applications that perform well on both older
and new computers. Most Linux distributions are free or low cost and
provides an extremely reliable and cost effective alternative to high
priced proprietary software.
Just remember to bring your laptop and power strip or your desktop PC
with monitor, keyboard, mouse, cables, cords, power strips and two discs
or a flash thumb drive. For newcomers, we can evaluate your hardware
and current Operating System setup. If we determine there is sufficient
time, we can perform a complete functioning Linux installation.
