We have not been regular in holding LUG sessions (we have about 4-5

that
soon.
ilugc holds it's monthly meetings at IIT every second saturday - do you
people attend. As far as I remember, in the days Kumar Appaiah, we used
to see some IIT students, but not recently (although I have not attended
the last meets)
I really don't know what the reason for this is. I have tried to bring
several friends of mine to the meet, but, for some reason, the focus
and interests of several people in IITM at the time seemed to be on
just using Linux as a substitute for Windows, and little more. Another
set seemed to fear that they didn't know enough to be able to
participate in the LUG meets; I was also in this category, till I
understood that the LUG wasn't for geek discussions (alone), but
ordinary users of varying levels trying to exchange knowledge and
ideas.
It would be nice if the "balkanization" was less, since, I am
absolutely certain that everyone would benefit from exchanges at the
LUG.

To change a user's personal info details (like those produced
by 'finger' command, like full name, Tele no, login-shell etc)
already on the computer as and when required, use the "chfn"
