Hmm... Interresting? What about filer?

Undelete In Linux
·
· Score: 2
I was thinking about filer last night, and this morning, we get libtrash. People have always had issues with deleting files. I personally keep a ~/bla/ directory. I move unneeded things there. If I don't need the files after a few months, I trash the directory, and recreate it. The concept is still better then an undelete, but I remember deleting some very important files on my first linux system... like vmlinuz and the/boot directory because I did not know better.
A lot of people still run it. I may not like them using it at all, but they still use it. The problem with ipsec is that it not a vpn protocol. Sure, I can link my networks up with so much encryption it is not even funny, but that damn road warriro with the win2k laptop is shit out of luck. IPSec is more a peer to peer protocol. Give it a little time, and some more work on it with the IETF, and we may have something more suitable for VPNs. Until then, companies like microsoft, ssh, and other security vendors will make their little odd authenticating clients.
Up until I lost my job today, I used PPTP to gain access to any part of a fairly large IPSec based wan that did private network routing on top of the internet. Pritty sweet eh? It was fairly useful when I was at the lan party gaming away and needed my q3 key or something off one of my workstations.
In cases such as schools, you can't unplug it. In the case I'm talking about, The computer is only used to run a piece of machinery, or a set of chemical reactors. The system for all intensive purposes is unplugged because it does not need to be plugged in.
I used to work for a company in the SouthEastern United States, currently called Avid Solutions, Formerally called Carolina Instermentation Corp/Electrical Maintence Overflow Comp. (cic/emoc). Every Control System that I have ever seen them put together was setup a perticular way.
1. Locked down OS. In NT, this involved Policies, in most cases, Auto logins, and quite a bit of registery editing. 2. Seperated Network. The control networks were allways on their own network. In many cases, a main network, and a backup network. 3. No internet access. 4. No access to the floppy/cdrom unless your an administrator, hell, explorer dosen't even load, only the control application.
Perhaps you need to look at your setup and make some changes if your worried about viruses.
My high school CS teacher started us on logo, then took us to pascal. I think pascal was more fun, and he admitted he wanted to do more. He had intended us to write a program that would work with the tcp/ip stack and the real time clock on winblows, but he couldn't get it to work so we gave up on that idea:)
Well, That tunnel will take another turn after the door... but once you get into the chamber, you will find the warp shuttle that I'm going to go back in time and have built into the top of the pyramid.
Yes, I'm Crazy!!!!!
Now, I want my warp shuttle back so I can go put it there in the first place. Now, where were those slingshot calcs... ya know the ones about going around the sun at warp... to do a time warp.
I'm Sorry, I had to make this story geek related somehow.
MacOS has allways been limited to the realm of Apple Hardware. What is allowing linux to grow is the fact that linux is not limited to any one platform. You can run linux on your old mac, your medium mac, your brand new quad supercomputer mac, your old piece of shit ibm pc, or your massivly parallel super computer. Linux dosen't care. In the economic state most areas and compnaies are in, companies do not have money to spend on the greatest new thing, so they try to save money. This is where linux smashes down the wall of microsoft and sets up camp. Linux can breath new life into your old sparcstaion 20 that you leave at work because you have no where to put it at home, and it runs, and is slightly more useful then before.
Just my $.03

BTW, the various platforms you can put linux onto:
Alpha Mips Mips64 ia-32 (x86) ia-64 ?x86-64? m68k parisc powerpc pow erpc-64 sparc sparc64 superh s390 (power4 or powerpc? or other?) I think linux is being ported to the following platforms: power4? vax
AS/400 units are database servers. Sure, you can get an web server, and a firewall on the unit, but they all run out of a database anyway. The neat feature of AS/400 units that I like is I can ftp to a directory, and upload files, and they are added to the database.
Linux is much better in the other services that AS/400 units don't cover very well, but that they can cover. Such as firewalls, mail servers, file servers, and they could be used as a way to interoperate with winblows... oh, don't forget... if you get db2 for linux, you can run your database on linux and do an offsite remote sync up.
Maybe microsoft is just trying to keep it hidden that (in the us) when the goverment buys software... it becomes public domain... atleast... thats how it was years ago...
I live in the Piedmont of North Carolina (for those not of North Carolina, the middle of the state. I hate to say it, but people around here are ignorant. Many know what the internet is, but don't understand that it is our last bastion of freedom left in this country.. besides our minds.... It is the only true place where one can speak out, and maybe, just maybe not get in trouble for what they say. This is diminishing, but people around here just don't care. As long as they have their porn, their happy. Yes, North Carolina has a fairly big porn... err pr0n industry... you just don't hear about it much.
Linksys sells an product you might want to use
on
Wireless PS/2?

Linksys carries a Wireless AP/Client/Bridge unit that takes wireless to 802.3. It supports 128 bit wep (as if that is any protection), and has a decent feature set considering linksys sucks.
I find it interesting that HP has decided to go after a security anaylist who found a bug in tru64, using the DMCA, which does not apply and virtually threatening him with a half million liabilty lawsuit under that law. Vunerablity information should be known by all. HP is clearly making its reputation look very bad with this action. Soon, if you continue, I'm sure it will end up just like the DVD CCA fiasco. Its just that HP clearly has no case. Any reasonable judge would see HP's actions as a threat. This reeks, it reminds me of some other large companies that are being investigated by the SEC or who have had to file for chapter 11.
The Winston-Salem, NC meeting went well. We had no host. We talked about lots of stuff,including the new karma system... turns out everybody hates it and wants the numbers back. There were seven of us... about the number who RSVP-ed, but we still lacked a host......
We talked till about 8:30, the mall we were in closes at 9, so we all had some good time to talk.

how are they accessing the unix/vms servers?

There were girls in the class... and I helped them learn logo...

Logo is fun, and logo got me dates with girls!

Fine, We will sniff for probe packets then.

If comparing ipchains vs. pix, Pix wins no problems. But comparing iptables vs. pix, pix looses and runs away.
Iptables is much more kick ass then pix in my experence. Most of the time, people just buy it because of the brand name... Cisco PIX.

Good Day.
I moved here like 9 years ago... way to much fucking traffic....
Well its confirmed... There are atleast two people in Kernersville that read slashdot... Oh my...What will people say....
maybe our area needs our own slash :)
hmm... maybe I need to buy another domain name....
People in kernersville reading slashdot.... what will people think..... :)
