  1. Re:They've only moved on What Happened to Phrack? · · Score: 2

    As I write this the links to the issues are broken due to a MySQL error. However, the FTP archives work fine.

    ftp://phrack.infonexus.com/pub/phrack/

  2. PAM is your firend! (was Re:Of Course....) on SecurityFocus Linux Focus Area · · Score: 2

    > well, until so, i will continue to laugh at the gnu su man page...

    Just patch su with to support PAM, add the apporpriate line to the /etc/pan.d/su file
    and presto! Wheel support!

    Some distros (RedHat, Debian) have PAM support compiled in but you still have to edit your PAM config files.

  3. Big Deal! (Yet Another Stupid Patent) on Geographic Screening · · Score: 1

    Since when is looking your source IP address up in the ARIN database and checking to see if there is a CA or CANADA in the record patentable? (If thay can patent this the I want to patent "A method for the transmission and reception of data over flexable crystalline silicon. ;)) A search for "iCraveTV" on the IBM patent server yeilds no results. I would assume that they are trying to patent this in the US because software patents are not vaild in Canada IIRC. First some guy patents a "wormhole" created by a halogen lamp and a bunch of magnets, and now this. Anyone remember when patents actually had merit?
    No system is foolproof, there are planty of ways to circumvent thier so-called "enhanced geographic screening technology": IP tunnelling, Anonymizser (sp), Proxy servers, etc.

  4. Re:Leap of logic on Microsoft Says Windows More Reliable Than Sun · · Score: 1

    IIRC, Hotmail's web servers run FreeBSD but the SMTP servers run Solaris.

  5. Re:Entry Rename is Needed on Vote:Why The Hell Not - Part I · · Score: 1

    >Cluestick Award for FUD in Journalism

    >ZDNet Jesse Berst Microsoft Bob Metcalfe John Dvorak

    There should be an "All of the Above" option.

  6. mod_spelling on Category: Best Apache Module · · Score: 1

    It may not be as widely praised as mod_perl or mod_php but it saved me from having to manually check thousnads of web pages left over from NT for files being named "Whatever.Html" and referenced as "whatever.html". 20 years and stupid M$ products still smash case. mod_spelling is ok with me!
