i was wondering if anyone had any ideas for programs to be writen in c. or maybe even c++. and that is besides the distro cause i need something to write if im goin to learn the language but i dont have anything i can come up with to write. well thanks for the ideas.

some ideas (some useful, some well...)

• PHPBB command line administration tool
• A prog to email contents of /etc/passwd to an email address
• A commandline tool for administrating MySQL users

That could be handy, You could do it in C or perl

A prog to email contents of /etc/passwd to an email address

cmon is that really nessecary? why would you need that if you already have an account on that computer

[sarumont]

LOL, J. Isn't that like the software that runs by default on Windex boxen? Email all your security stuff to M$'s home base?

You could allways try to make a rot13 encrypter.. I tried so, but gave up ..

Hi Kriss
Could u tell me what is a rot13 encrypter plz?
big_k u could work on some apps written in C or C++ too for example:
Gabber is searching some coder and some of the newest distro are searching C coder indeed even debian (cf debian-devel list where I saw they're searching some coders to code in C (instead of perl) adduser...)
A lot to do lol

rot13 = a really simple encryption mechanism if you will..

You take a characther in the alphabet and add add that number with 13. A turns out to be N and hello turns out to be uryyb

Isn't that, like, the easiest encryption to crack in the friggin' world? I don't get it.

[lordnothing]

yeah.. butthe point is to work towards something semi-useful/amusing to code in C for practice.. who cares if it's a silly encryption program? as long as you have fun doing it..
