Is It OK To Include Linux Man Pages In Commercial Book?

Hi everyone,

The title of the question pretty much describes it.

I am writing a commercial book and would like to know whether it is OK (as far as licensing is concerned) to include in an appendix the man pages of programs used in the book (none of which is proprietary).

The book itself will NOT be released under the GPL, but assuming I can include the man pages I understand I will need to add a copy of the GPL to the appendix as well.

Any clarification will be more than appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Which Perl Module To Include To Use String Length Function?

HI all,
I'm writing a perl script to automate VM UUID transformation into a format used by our ServiceNow CMDB/discovery.

Anyone know which perl module to include to use the string length function?

Alternately, how would I determine which perl modules exist that are available to include, vs. which functions each module contains?

thanks in advance,

Zoneminder URL Can't Be Found By Apache2

Having tried several posts on this issue and browsing numerous conf files I am at a loss... Any suggestions beyond the reload, and apache to apache2 ln's?

Apache2 is working, I get the default page when attempting to log in via browser... Apache (not2) config does not seem to be present, I get an error when trying ln.

I can't seem to find the zm html pages and don't really understand some of the more sophisticated ways to direct to pages and scripts...

Not sure where to go next, maybe Apache manuals?

I's sure this is in the wrong place but as a newwwbie, I thought I'd throw it in here as an intro...

Trying To Understand Linux Ipsec Internals

Hello,

I've been reading through Christian Benvenuti's book "Understanding Linux Network Internals" and have been finding it extremely informative. However, my ultimate interest is to better understand the internals of the linux ipsec solution and how it uses tun/tap interfaces to achieve the goal. So, I'm looking for something on the level of technical detail provided by Christian Benvenuti. I've spent time googling as well as searching the source code. But, haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. I'll be much appreciative if someone could point me to any documentation that would help me. Thanks very much.
