I know that this is just the beta, but does anyone know when RH 6.2 is scheduled for full release? Also, what kernel and pcmcia-cs module will it include?
The RedHat documentation on this sketchy, especially the pcmcia-cs module, which has been updated recently to support the latest laptops and some new cards.

There is a reason why you dont want to use a hotmail account as your primary email address for a domain. Not that hotmail can be hacked, but for sheer fact that it is very easy to take a domain this way. Here's what happened to me. I will leave my domain out of this, in its place I will use trollmastah.com (mine) and trol1mastah.com (theirs).
Basicly.. the owner of trol1mastah.com used hotmail as their primary email contact with this domain. Well a visitor of my site, who dislikes www.trol1mastah.com, decided to keep track of the hotmail account of the owner of trol1mastah.com. Well Microsoft has a 60 day (I believe) non-usage expire date on all hotmail accounts.. so when the expiration date happens, the account is deleted. Well this person tried to register the same email address every day for (as I found out) almost a year until the same email address came free. Then they just signed up for the same exact email address.
It worked. And then all this person did was change the contact information to myself, and then *POOF* I owned both www.trollmastah.com and www.trol1mastah.com.. and of course I setup DNS to put to my page... and well, the rest is apart of media history forever.
This is why SECURITY (and a brain) is needed when registering domains, so that something (as stupid) like this can't happen.

This is an "MTU Path Discovery" exploit. When one machine wants to talk to another machine it's best to know how big a packet each can send without it being fragmented (broken into smaller packets to cross any given link.) The MTU for ethernet is 1500 -- you can set it lower if you want, but larger is good way to crash your machine. Not all router links in the world can handle a 1500 byte packet without fragmentation. SO, at the beginning of a connection, the computers at the endpoints attempt to determine the largest packet they can send without fragmentation. This is done by setting the "DF" (do not fragment) bit in the IP header. They then "listen" for ICMP messages indicating the packet would have to have been fragmented to get there. The packet would then be retransmitted with less data in it. This packet is usually generated by a router somewhere in between. It would appear there is a way to "trick" MacOS 9 into sending out a 1500byte packet to "do an MTU discovery". Personally, this sounds like a cut-n-dry ("oops") bug... 1500 byte ICMP packets would likely be dropped by any number of routers (see RFC1122 and RFC1812 for the rules governing ICMP messaging) AND, the report doesn't say anything about which ICMP message was being generated (there are 15 types of ICMP messages defined under Solaris 2.6 -- 13 under linux)
