Yes, wake on magic packet works. I have my ADSL router set up to forward traffic destined for 9/UDP ('discard' port) on the ADSL interface to be sent to the broadcast address (where my Mac will see it) on my LAN.
I then use wakeonlan (perl script) to send a magic packet to the router from the internet, which wakes the Mac up. After this I can ssh in to my Mac (port forward for SSH configured on the ADSL router).
The only problem is that I only get 30 seconds of connectivity before my Mac goes back to sleep. I think this is the amount of time the machine waits for me to type my password on the console, as if I'd woken it up by clicking the mouse. Does anyone have a workaround for this? It's *REALLY* annoying:I
have you lot been living under a rock for the past two years? RCE has been around for ages (even here in the UK, and you know how long stuff takes to get here).
perfect storm is RCE and that came out on the 14th of november. charlie's angels is RCE and that came out several months ago.
The *BSDs have a tool called 'mtree' (in the base distro) which is like a cut-down version of tripwire. It's great for detecting trojaned binaries and seeing what files are touched by a program. It will check on timestamps, md5/sha1/chksum/other checksums, size, permissions, ownerships and more.
cd/usr
mtree -x -c -K md5digest >/tmp/before
<run program>
cd/usr
mtree -f/tmp/before
<mtree prints list of files that differ from before program ran>
You can also run mtree with -K chksum to give you a checksum value for the whole directory (do this when you know the directory is 'clean' and write it down). Run mtree each night to generate a new checksum for the directory and then compare the two. If they're not the same, something in your directory tree has changed.
And besides, when was the last time you read email on an 80 column terminal?
how about every day? i read my mail using mutt via a putty session. there are millions of people who read their mail in 80 column terminals with pine, mutt, exmh, emacs etc. i for one can't stand reading email (or anything) in a full-screen outlook express window that is about 400 columns wide. it's damn near impossible
The usual ftp.freebsd.org (ftp.freesoftware.com (maybe.org)) is unaccessable at the moment due to a fault with the network provider (lightning.net). ftp.freebsd.org is pointin at a mirror (ftp9.freebsd.org) until ftp.freesoftware.com (or.org) is up again.

That line just compiles the kernel. A FreeBSD 'make world' remakes the userland. This would normally be done in conjunction with 'make kernel' to bring the kernel and userland right up to date.
I can do a one-line kernel upgrade:
vi/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL && make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL && make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL && fastboot
FreeBSD doesn't have a lilo.conf or equivalent, which in my eyes is great. I hate editing lilo.conf.
Specifies the user the server should run as after it initial
izes. The value specified may be either a username or a nu

group id used will be the primary group of the user specified

available to the server).

Do you people actually visit microsoft.com?... I can't remember the last time I intentionally went to that site? There's just no need.
So what if you don't go to microsoft.com. Other people do. I wanted to go there today to try to find information about CTI (so I could try to work out some *nix CTI stuff). There may be no need for you but you're just one incredibly arrogant idiot out here in the big wide world. For some of us this really is significant. Can't you just report the news without your spoilt-brat snide remarks?
You're a jerk, and you're fast becoming the no. 1 reason why slashdot sucks more than ever before.
An operating system is what connects hardware to software. It manages your memory and talks to your devices. It doesn't provide a nice GUI web browser, but it does opens and manage the connections that browser needs. Software is what makes a computer productive.
It would be like calling a motor, transmission and a suspension a car; there's a lot more to making a car (or an operating system) nowadays.
Only the cushy extras. You could drive this car - it wouldn't be comfortable or warm, but it'd still move (well, ok with some wheels a chassis - but they are hardly trivial parts). The car is providing the basic features such as the ability to move and stop and absorb bumps. if you want heated seats, go right ahead and add them. But it's not like the car won't move without them.
There are supporting elements on top of the kernel, such as drivers to help programmers talk to hardware, libraries to provide extra code functionality, and a set of commands (a shell) to enable users to tell applications or the OS what to do. But almost everything else outside the Unix kernel is considered a utility or something extra, not part of the core OS.
Which is just how it should be. for your OS to interact with the hardware it's run on, you don't need a mail client or a mp3 player. These run *on top* of the OS. Come on, it's obvious.
QuickTime for streaming media, which is really an operating system service.
Please. you're insulting my intelligence. Quicktime as an OS service?. Why on earth would this be an OS service? It's software. It uses OS calls to make connections and decompress the data and write it to your monitor. It runs in userspace.
Everyone knows what an OS does. Everyone apart from Macweek.
Oh come on. Why is there nothing forcing you to change the password? In what situation would you need a blank SA password? You may be right that someone who doesn't know this shouldn't be installing SQL server, but it's just not the case in the big room outside. How many people give the summer boy the job of installing SQL server? The point is, if MS had forced you to change the password this wouldn't have happened. Plain and simple.
Would you leave a *NIX box on the net with a blank root password? I don't think so.
The ease of installation. I like how, if you've got an Ethernet connection to the Net, you can use just 5 floppies (boot, root, 3 drivers) to get the installation started, and download the rest over the Net. I've set up many systems (including a couple of notebooks) that way.
Well - with RedHat you need only one floppy image (bootnet.img) to start the installer from FTP, HTTP (although http is broken in 6.2...) or NFS.
My main problem with Debian is the installer. Installing RH is easier than falling off a log, but Debians installer is really quite tricky. Admittedly I haven't worked on it too much, but at the time I needed a server installed quickly so I gave up and went for RedHat.
The embedded space is only going to get bigger, and it needs a small, stable, fast, and standards-compliant browser.
Well - so far mozilla barely has one of these 4 qualities - standards compliance. It sure isn't small (my freshly untarred nightly was 28mb), definately isn't stable (XHTML crashes it - great compliance!) and it's not any faster than IE.
Mozilla will have the same problems as Linux and other free software has - the majority of people just won't take it seriously because it's not made by Microsoft/CA/IBM. I can't see AOL suddenly flipping to the newly-released (and potentially buggy as hell) Mozilla/Netscape 6 immediatley just because of 'the old days'. Supporting 22 million users on a what is essentially a 1.0 release product would be a foolish undertaking that AOL surely wouldn't chance.
Don't get me wrong - I really do dislike Microsoft, it's practises and 99% of it's software. However - IE5 is very good. In fact, I use Win98 at home because I can't get a broswer to match IE under Linux (which I use at work and like very much). Browsing with NS 4.7x is an exceptionally painful and frustrating experience - more so than using Win98.
I'd love to see Mozilla suceed - but it's too little too late.
We have just started using XML for our online databases at work. We are using Cocoon (a bunch of java servlets running on Apache) to pull stuff from a MySQL DB (using the Cocoon SQL processor) and then format it into WML/HTML depending on the user agent. This is all handled by Cocoon with no perl/php/scripting. The advantage to Cocoon being written in Java is the ease with which you can create a processor for just about any application, eg accessing POP mailboxes. Currently processors for SQL and LDAP exist.
Initially it is a steep learning curve - but the rewards are worth it. You can have your web designer make up the XSL stylesheets which are then applied to the static or dynamic XML, thus keeping content and design entirely separate.
XML is here to stay: this is how the web should have been from the start.
