Use the 'open' command in Terminal to open something in the GUI.
Any idea how to su to another non-root user and run a GUI app? In X11 xhost +localhost does it, but on OSX?

FVWM 2.4 and gnome-panel for me, I try to use gtk apps when I can, but run a few QT apps too. rxvt is my file manager, this has worked pretty well for a year now.
The bad: Still no focus-follows-mouse, multiple desktops, or the ability to connect to my wife's printer on her Windows 98 box.
Can't this be done with SAMBA and lpr? I'm considering OS X, and was planning on doing this to print to my SAMBA server. It is working with Linux, basically lpr has a filter that pipes to smbclient.
Sendmail will see you are running an SMTP server, then won't relay mail from the exchange server unless you put an entry in access.db.
You should not make that entry if possible, and let the exchange server send the mail itself (M$ calls this "using DNS"), or have your users put the ISP's mail server in their mail client configuration, and not run your own mail server at all.
If you are blacklisted with DNSBL, you can do an DNS query to see if you are listed. If your servers IP is 1.2.3.4, and the list you think you are on is my.rbl.com, you can do:
dig 4.3.2.1.my.rbl.com
If it comes back with an A record that says 127.0.0.2, you are blacklisted by my.rbl.com.
I usually just do something like find/usr -ls > BEFORE, do what I need to, then find/usr -ls > AFTER, that takes care of keeping track of changed files.
I can see what changed with diff BEFORE AFTER. I backup files as I change them, and backup to DAT as well.
That advisory is not up yet, I was looking for it earlier.
Read the CERT advisory, if you installed an UCD-SNMP or NET-SNMP from ports you will have to upgrade. You can grab ucd-snmp-4.2.3 from Sourceforge BTW, which they say should be OK.
It is an ISA or now a PCI card that does pretty much the same, and you telnet to it. It emulates a video card, has cables to connect the keyboard and to the power button header on your motherboard.
I think it is Windows only (older version only worked on Win 9x, current one at least does Win 2k). They have their own PCI card that comes with it, and the cameras attach with coax. Data is stored in avi format I think.
You can usually./configure --prefix=/usr/local/someprog, then su to root, create/usr/local/someprog, chown it to yourself, drop root, install as yourself, su to root, and chown -R/usr/local/someprog back to root:root. You'll need to put a little more effort in for setuid stuff, but that should work for most stuff.
You can run make -n install to see what make install will do, some makefiles can be difficult to do this with. Most of the time this is what I do, and copy it into ~/bin or/usr/local/bin if I want to share.
Another thing is even vs. odd naming, why not just put a b beside the version number of an unstable release?
They have pre releases, those are more like beta versions than the development branch is.
Would it kill people to make a small bugfix update a.01 or.001 incriment
Well you also can't have 2 decimal points in a real decimal number, and you would have to decide how many subdivisions there are when you release (if they made 2.4.1, then needed something higher than 2.4.9 they would need to break the system).
I think it's pretty easy to tell where 2.4.17 is, it is after 2.4.2, and 4 is even so it is stable. Plus it doesn't suffer from version inflation like many distros do.
And how come FreeBSD is at 4.4 when Linux started first and 2.4.17 has lots of stuff not in 4.4 yet?
If they wanted to prevent the public from using their DNS servers, they would have one set of servers only accessible to their own customers, and another set accessible to the world, but which only served domains they were hosting. It's very easy to do, so it's silly of them to insinuate that we're "stealing" by using name servers which have been deliberately left open.
You can do this with 1 BIND nameserver, use allow-recursion to specify who can use it, and any zone that is configured in named.conf will work for everybody.
Anybody else thinking of adding this to their init.d scripts? On by Debian system, in/etc/init.d/umountfs, you can add "sync" at line 18, before it unmounts.
Of course we should all build with the inode.c fix, but for the future, would syncing before umounting at every shutdown really hurt?
Would this compile? I tried building the FreeBSD telnetd source on other systems when the telnetd exploit came out, and it wouldn't build.
FreeBSD seems to favor csh anyway, root's shell is csh, they say don't every never change root's shell or your scripts will break (although they are sh scripts), bash is not installed in the base system, the package manager installs it in/usr/local, and bash 1.x isn't statically linked, so you can't use it in single user mode (bash 2.x is).
I still prefer bash, despite FreeBSD's objections:)
I like debian's installer best, I can have the base system done in 2.5 minutes (I timed myself once). Then of course I have to redo a bunch of things to get a 2.4 kernel on there (modutils, lilo.conf, modules.conf, etc).
This involved them taking out the front windows again to fit the correct sized pieces and then installing them properly as well as finishing the upstairs windows.

Same goes for telnetd, named, sendmail, etc.

Won't they just blacklist your smarthost?
Remeber, when you relay mail for somebody you are relaying mail for everybody they relay mail for.

Regular people probably also just use webmail.

Or maybe get your own domain, so you are less likely hit by a dictionary attack (aaa@mail.com, aab@mail.com...).
PiGSQueaL, that's great :)

I don't know if it's by the same author, but lprngtool is good too, almost identical. And it should work on any *NIX. I am using this on Slackware.

I have a couple of Seagate SCSI drives that have a write protect jumper.

I see he had to reinstall windows :)
Ohhh, and 2.0.x was in 36 revisions when i shifted to 2.2.0
I was starting to worry about having so many in 2.4.x, now I don't feel so bad.
