inetd is a mess in that it never checks the process table. i was hit last week with a DoS attack that failed. why? becuase xinetd was set to deny the IP anyhow nd never forked. just flooded my logs with failures, but hey, my machine survived.

linux inetd is, of course, subject to this issue. so just move to xinetd, already. other inetd replacements can also be used to control the number of daemon processes spawned... and you should use them. unfortunately, not everyone has the luxury of implementing firewalls.

i grabbed xinetd from tp://coast.cs.purdue.edu/pub/tool/u nix/xinetd/ and it works like a champ.

I put a website for the Comdex Linus Keynote.
I'm trying to figure out how many people are going, and if we can
get a groupy thing going there.

http://expert.cc.purdue.edu/~bgannon is the website.

Thanks,

After talking about I wrote it and interfaced it to the web.

I'd be interested in any feedback.

Let me know what you think, it will find the cheapest price on the net... if I'm missing some sites let me know.

Get the kernel src here.
I got both tar.gz n' bzipped.
Get em' while they're hot.
Avoid the usual places.

Forget water, stick a loudspeaker on the end of a tube filled with a Helium/Argon mixture and plug it in.

"The prototype, which differs considerably in appearance and size from what a commercial device would look like, is essentially a 3-foot-long aluminum tube, with inside dimensions ranging from 6 inches at the heart of the system to 3 inches elsewhere. At one end of the tube is an acoustic driver; at the other end is a cap. The driver, which has a vibrating diaphragm similar to a loudspeaker's (but sturdier and more powerful), sends pressure pulsations throughout the system, making gas particles oscillate back and forth at a single frequency.

''Fluctuating pressures inside the cavity are accompanied by fluctuations in temperature,'' Mongeau explains. ''When you compress a gas, it becomes warmer, and when you decompress it, it becomes cooler. The gas particles within the device become alternately hot and cold, dynamically, at a typical frequency of 200 oscillations per second.''

The gas particles in the ''stack,'' a parallel-plate structure near the driver, transfer heat to and from the solid material as they oscillate. The end result is that heat is pumped toward the driver, cooling the side farthest from the driver."
