puts scientists , programmers and other
creative minds behind bars, because of the creative work they do, should be
regarded as unreliable.
DMCA or not, its important that people who
don't commit crimes like, killing, murdering,
stealing, raping etc., but just do their
profession, should walk free.
People who are arrested because of their
profession, because they were not in the
right country at the time, should be regarded
as political targets. And thus UN or
Amnesty International should handle this.
This might lead to the suggestion that
the USA has turned into a unreliable
country.
come pay us a visit with your huge gasoline cars
like oldsmobile or chevy , here are some
numbers :
golf TDI (red D and red I) 0-60 mph 6.7 secs
topspeed is 240 km/hour
You guys will be needing some fresh air, when
taking on this car in a stoplight run. And thats
not because of exhaust pipe fumes. The newest
diesels are clean and very economic.
and then there's the audi's bmw and mercedes
diesels which have even more horsepower.
1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bunyip grants
to the Licensee a non-exclusive license to use and operate the Archie
software to gather, manage and serve information. By installing and
operating the Archie System the Licensee agree to be bound by the
following terms and conditions.
l.2 The Licensee is licensed to operate ____________ simultaneous copies
of the Archie System. The Licensee may use Archie software to gather and
maintain multiple databases and the Licensee may configure its system to
use additional computers as file servers to process and store the
information gathered, but the information maintained by the Archie
Systems covered by this License Agreement may only be served to users
while operating Archie on no more than this number of computer systems
(the Designated Computers).
l.3 The Licensee or the Licensee's employees are authorized to make an
unlimited number of copies of the software for backup and archival
purposes, but shall not have the right to transfer, share or otherwise
release copies of the Archie Systems to third parties. Any such copy
shall become the property of Bunyip.
l.4 In the event that the Licensee desires to transfer the use of the
Archie System to a newly designated computer from the designated
Computers set forth in paragraph l.2 of this License Agreement, the
Licensee shall request prior written permission from Bunyip, which
permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon receipt of this
permission the Licensee may transfer the use of the Archie System to the
newly designated computer. The Licensee shall destroy all copies or
records of the Archie System in the Designated Computers or shall
transfer all of these copies or records to the newly designated computer
and shall if required by Bunyip promptly certify in writing that no
copies or record of the Archie System exist outside the newly designated
computer.
l.5 The Licensee shall not have the right to sublicense this Agreement,
and the Licensee shall not assign its license, whether voluntarily or by
operation of law or otherwise without prior written approval of Bunyip.
3.- OWNERSHIP OF THE ARCHIE SYSTEM AND CONFIDENTIALITY
3.1 The Licensee acknowledges that the Archie System, software,
documentation and associated information are the property of Bunyip, and
that the only rights which the Licensee obtains to the Archie Systems and
Licensed Materials is the right of use in accordance with the terms of
this License.
3.2 The Licensee acknowledges that the Archie System and Licensed
Materials contain proprietary and confidential information of Bunyip. The
Licensee will take the same care to safeguard the Archie System and
Licensed materials as it takes to safeguard its own confidential
information and this care shall not be any less than would be taken by a
reasonable company to safeguard its information. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Archie System shall be accessible only
to those employees with a need for access to perform their duties, and
Licensed Materials shall be stored in a locked place and shall be
accessible only to those employees with a need for access in order to

Materials.
3.3 The license granted under this Agreement is non-transferable and
authorizes the Licensee, on a non-exclusive basis, to use each Archie
System solely on the Designated Computers so long as the Designated
Computer remains in the exclusive possession of the Licensee. Any attempt
by the Licensee to sublicense, assign or transfer any of the rights,
duties or obligations hereunder is void.
3.4 The Licensee shall not derive or attempt to duplicate, or permit or
help others to derive or duplicate, the source code relating to the
Archie System.
3.5 In order to assist Bunyip in the protection of its proprietary rights
with respect to the Archie System and Licensed Materials, the Licensee
shall permit Bunyip to inspect during normal business hours the facility
at which the Archie System is used and any facility at which the Archie
System Licensed materials are stored. The Licensee shall advise Bunyip on
demand of all locations where Archie System or any Licensed materials, or
both, are stored, and shall provide Bunyip with access to the Archie

Its actually a good idea. DNS only tells you
the ip of the machine. IHS gives you the exact
location on the internet of some subject/information handle. So the handle is something that is generic and lasts a lifetime.
If you quiry the handle to the IHS server it
returns the exact URL, which can be dynamic
and changes every week.
I had exactly the same panic rebooting after
installing redhat 6.2 on my AMD Athlon Thunderbird
system (ASUS A7V board). The trouble is that
the redhat installer thinks a PIII CPU
is present. And then a kernel is installed which
tries to disable the PIII CPUID, resulting in
a panic during booting after a succesfull install.
I solved this to rebuild the redhat kernel tree
on a different box but then choosing a
different CPU ID Type : PPro/6x86MX/PII
instead of PIII/Xeon/Deschutes . I notice here
that these options including the
Disable the PII/PIII Serial Number at bootup
option have been included by RedHat themselves.
A normal ftp.kernel.org kernel like 2.2.17
wouldn't have these problems. So I think
RedHat certainly has to fix some things in their
redhat 6.2 installation iso's, with respect
to the AMD Athlon family of CPU's. So I'd rather
have RedHat release redhat 6.2b or redhat 6.3
than redhat 7.1.
Well i re-adjust it here, i did pay for vmware.
Thats a piece of software thats worth its money.
Well of course its *NOT* GPL software its
commercial VMWare Inc. doesn't pretend to be
OpenSource.
About RedHat : Lotsa people from the first hour
who worked for redhat have already left. I hear
rumours from people inside that Bob Young is
the worst that could have happened to Linux. He's
just trying to make its fortune with linux.
But A Download Tax is the WRONG way.
Now we can finally see where he's heading for
with his RedHat Inc.
Linux *used* to be the FREE OpenSource OS, which
combined with all the GNU Software was the best
what could happen.
But now its enough. Bob Young and his RedHat Inc.
should go to/dev/null and leave the linux spirit
alone. And then i'm talking about years ago
when a email to Linus was replyed within a
afternoon. THATS the way i expect the Linux community to behave. Those money pickers like
Bob Young should go!
Download Subscription Tax My ASS!!
Its GPL-ed Software God-damnit!
RedHat is actually going to charge money
for people downloading rpm's??
So what always has been for free, you will
have to pay for then?
How about the mirror's?? are they charging too??
I'm not ammused. I remember a posting from Linus
years ago on April's 1st Fools day. He said
that the linux kernel would not be released
under the GPL anymore, and now you would have to
pay for downloading it. Luckily it was a joke.
Actually everybody who read that message immediately knew it was bogus.
So RedHat will start a subscription service
where people can automaticly "up2date" their
RedHat Linux system. And the fee's for that
will becharged and chashiered automaticly.
Wow thats something that frightens me.
HEY PEOPLE, Linux is a FREE OpenSource OS. Don't
let yourself be fooled by RedHat!!
I sure hope its a joke, like Linus once did. If not, I forsee a very good time for the other Linux
distributors.
I will never ever pay any penny for Linux software. PERIOD! Certainly as i know enough
about linux to build my own systems/network.
SCO used to earn and still earns its money with the selling of SCO Unixware and OpenServer OS and user Licenses. Wanna run it on a 8 way Xeon machine? Ohoh you need to buy 7 extra CPU Licenses. This is not done. certainly not today. Wanna run an extra SCO Server, well you buy all that stuff for the second time. Nah lets forget about that, just hand me that redhat 6.1 cdrom. Even Stef can install it, so...
If SCO wants to survive it needs to change its focuspoint from commodity OS sales into something different. What it eventually will become I don't know. Best thing for SCO is that they have an excellent technical crew. So if they ran out of money, they should have themselves bought by a company which *does* have a vivid bussines plan.
Well the "Netscape engineers are weenies!" string is really inside the dvwssr.dll thing. Copying it to you linux box and doing a strings dvwssr.dll will show you the string backwards :
C:\InetPub\wwwroot\_vti_bin\_vti_aut\dvwssr.dll
strings dvwssr.dll :
!This program cannot be run in DOS mode. .text `.rdata @.data .idata .rsrc @.reloc .. ..

Well seeing this makes me feel sick in the first place. If we look at the exploit there is actually something which makes use of that string. And there is no discussion about that :
my $key="Netscape engineers are weenies!";
The complete exploit goes like this :
------------------------------------------------ -- #!/usr/bin/perl # dvwssr.pl by rain forest puppy (only tested on Linux, as usual) # # Usage: dvwssr.pl target_host/file/to/retrieve/source # use Socket;

print "Encoding to: ".encodefilename($file)."\n"; $url="GET/_vti_bin/_vti_aut/dvwssr.dll?".encodefilename($fi le)." HTTP/1.0\n\n"; print sendraw($url);

Linux has taken the world, so Linus says. World Domination we want. However the Desktop at the office and at home stays behind. Corel has put some horses on Linux and the Desktop. In my opinion this won't last long, as long the big PC Vendors don't ship pre-installed Linux workstations and home/gamer PC's. I think we need to take much more effort like Microsoft has done for win9x to force Linux as a valid OS pre-install option with the PC-vendors. Whats your opinion on that?
