if you're doing backup over the network, why not just backup the samba shares?
we use veritas, and rather than pay for another product which would run under linux (or worse, use a separate system for the linux boxes) we just have a bunch of smb shares which the veritas system on a win2K box backs up.

Just because most admins are lazy doesn't make the technology unable to secure...
I'm writing this from a laptop in my living room, over an 802.11b connection whose only route to the network is protected by FreeS/WAN. And yes, I could get a wired connection here, but why deal with the hassle of a 100' cable?
sudo also maintains environment variables (like $DISPLAY), which is nice, espacially when using ssh and needing to run GUI stuff (like ethereal) as root.
The original had an 'execute local command' option, and some wise bugtraq reader (no, it wasn't me:) noticed that one could inject 'killall -9.bugtraq' into the infection network, to shut it down.
Or failing that, one might write a wee proggie to sit on UDP port 2002, and reply to any connections with this command. One would, of course, run this on an isolated machine...
I used to work for a company that made an online PIM/email system. We had a tool that went thru the code and stripped comments, linebreaks, and other such noise. Saved quite a bit of bandwidth, and allowed nicely formatted & commented code to be used internally. THis was a C thing, but I think it'd be a pretty straightforward bit of perl...
I read a lot of books online, and always on my laptop. reading from a CRT makes my eyes tired. I generally read in links in an xterm (no graphics, and no font issues)
Being able to get softcopy books is great, I have WAY too many paperbacks cluttering my little house as is...
And with dual batteries (11+hour life) and 802.11b networking, I can still read from the couch...
um, pretty tough if that's the only way to update and you don't run windows. I don't think I want to experiment with BIOS flashing proggies under WINE...
Besides booting, whether for installation or troubleshooting, I use floppies to hold the file database used by tripwire.
Further (slightly OT) one of the machines I use tripwire on has a file DB too big for the update function to work. I've been checking the report and then re-initializing the DB, since there isn't space for the backup of the DB on a floppy. What systems do other people use to handle this?

>The lying on these surveys is astounding.
really? I've always thought that telling the truth
on those surveys was a bit odd. I mean, what's my
incentive for giving true answers?

btw: you should buy War of Honor.
and I found no mention on their website, even while dosnloading the patched versions.
Nothing in the release notes either.
wtf?

Am I missing something here...
>> maybe a more specific one for openssh exists that will even give you the exact commands to enter to ssh-keygen
um, man ssh-keygen?
> just beat people up with his hands
well, personally I'd rather see implausible gadjets than the crap fight coreography of the older bond flicks...
and, I seem to remember that it sucked then, too...
that's funny, I have moz set to disallow javascript popups, and I'm going thru a squid proxy set to 'beyond paranoid', and it displayed just fine...
:)
I guess they just suck
Damn, when I saw this there were no coments listed, I thought I might be able to post 'first yawn'.
I mean, how is _another_ IE flaw even news anymore...
Ironically, I probably missed is cuz I was opening my morning comics in other (mozilla) tabs...
I blame you too...
um, nearly all technology requires admins not to
be lazy, that's why sysadmin is such a complex job.
me too
the guys with the newest computers always kick my ass at counterstrike over lunch break,
and that just ruins my productivity for the afternoon.
Here's the bugtraq posting to give context to that code (and the list of other vulnerable APs)

lots more than just linksys are vulnerable...
I'd have given the high-points here, but the lameness filter is too, well, lame.

yup
glad to see I'm not the only one reading in a work-induced stupor...
sudo also maintains environment variables (like $DISPLAY), which is nice, espacially when using ssh and needing to run GUI stuff (like ethereal) as root.
it should be noted that using this to restrict/log access is meaningless if users can either become root via sudo or run chown/chmod via sudo.
$ sudo bash
# chown root mySetuidProgramRunner
# chmod +s mySetuidProgramRunner
Does anyone have the source to it?

>> But that ultimately relies on passwords and trusting your hosting provider
Well, I am my hosting provider. And GPG/PGP would protect the email as stored on the server, where secure transport (SSL/HTTPS) just gets it there.
As for 'it's just not worth it', that's what we're talking about changing, isn't it...
which is why mutt is such a great client.
since it's console-based, you can always get your mail system, without dealing with configuring the box you're on. And it's had GPG tied in for ages.
