Neither the belkin nor belkinunv drivers work, bu gamatronic seems to work just fine. I guessed this based on some random post I did find on the internet from someone saying they'd forward-ported something they called the SEC drive from an older nut release; grepping the current nut tree's source code I found some SEC_xyz defines in the gamatronic driver, so I just tried that, and it worked. http://www.hughes-family.org/wordpress/2008/03/19/belkin-omniguard-2300-with-nut-under-linux/ Django | User authentication in Django | Django Documentation [1] How django models users/groups/permissions (tags: auth [2] authentication [3] framework [4] model [5]) [1] http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/ [2] http://del.icio.us/hughescr/auth [3] http://del.icio.us/hughescr/authentication [4] http://del.icio.us/hughescr/framework [5] http://del.icio.us/hughescr/model http://www.hughes-family.org/wordpress/2008/03/19/links-for-2008-03-20/ My favorite used to be the right-to-left override [1] character. My new favorite is the zero width non-breaking space [2]. Just think about that for a minute. Of course, people use it as a byte-order marker at the start of documents, but the concept of a zero-width non-breaking space is just so abstract that I can't help but love it.
