well.... osX doesnt use a shadow password file. it uses its NetInfo database (sort of like a grown up/mutated version of YP/NIS) to store the actual password information.
you know, if you're gonna rant about someone not substantiating information you should probably fact check the information you post. the man page you looked at was for openssl passwd. not passwd. and all openssl passwd does is generate the hash based on whatever algorithm you choose.
but, if we're basing information on man pages, theres a man page for passwd.conf which is used to "describe the configuration of the password cipher used to encrypt local or YP passwords." but of course its describing/etc/passwd.conf which isnt on either of my MacOSX 10.1.5 machines...
but here's some hints. go look up the code for x3270 (the x-windows 3270 stuff) and then the tn3270 code for unix. try and hack that together in wintel land. (maybe compiling it under cygwin will work...)
or do some searches on java 3270 applciations. but dont expect the users to like any of these. you cant cut & paste nicely etc.
or... theres qws3270 at http://www.jollygiant.com i know of a few companies that use that and got really nice enterprise license costs...
or... http://freehost3270.sourceforge.net/

CaptyTV for Mac

well color me wrong... i guess an "ANT" port would indicate a tuner.. i was basing my "THERES NO TUNER" on the english webpage that i posted...
its something from a japenese company called pixela that makes video capture devices. this one is in particular an analog capture device that uses USB.
No where on the home page does it mention that theres any ReplayTV/TiVo type functionality... hell, theres no tuner...
ok, ok, ok, i know this is not what you asked, but macOSX does support out of the box, multiple monitors. BUT the hardware must also. for instance, the iBook does not allow you to have separate video between your vga and lcd. Powerbooks do. i'm on a Powerbook G3 and if i walk over to my desk and plug in my 17" monitor, i can dual monitor it. (this has been a hallmark of mac powerbooks since the powerbook 520/540) i wish the iBook would also, but as a "consumer" line apple didnt think the extra monitor needed to be anything other than mirrored. (hmm, i wonder if i jack in my tv via the svideo and my monitor if i can have THREE monitors... where's a long rca cord...)
oh um, i dunno if the various PPCLinuxes support dual monitor mode. i would imagine they do.

Good SFTP Clients?
·
· Score: 3, Informative
mindterm ssh from appgate.com takes a novel approach to sftp. in addition to having a popup window that will do the sftp, you can also use the ssh client as an ftp proxy server - meaning you can use standard ftp to the ssh client, and it will then translate that into sftp to your ssh server. meaning you can have your users use whatever ftp client they like.
In a rare press conference featuring Sun Microsystems, Microsoft and the Department of Justice, a exploit was found regarding usage of the Java Virtual Machine under the Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP/CE) environment. Apparently usage of said JVM is likely to increase the amount of lawsuits filed by these 2 companies, leading to a bogging down of the DOJ's case queue. the DOJ is currently recommending that you cease using your computer, pick up a pen and paper and use them instead. One Anonymous DOJ spokesman said "We've found that we can reduce our case load by 30% if all users of computers stop and just go ahead and use pens, pencils, paper and the abacus. If it was good enough for Confucius, it's good enough for America!"
Curiously, no comment was issued by Larry Ellison, Chief Entertainment Officer, Oracle Corporation.
i got a device that fills your requirements. it tells me what street i'm on, what street i'm approaching and even what time it is! and it doesnt even need to be able to see the street signs. of course, it needs to be able to see at least 3 of its friends to know exactly where i am, but that isnt too hard when you're outside.
theres new low power chipsets that allow you to do voice recognition processing in small devices. it all comes down to cost, power consumption (they're designed for low power devices aka handhelds,phones etc) and trainability of the chip software - aka usability.
in other words, its probably more likely that you'll see the functionality rolled into your pda or phone.
yeah right. look around. its more of a community of people who "hate" microsoft, but want to make.NET work outside of Wintel. thereby aiding microsoft in world domination. you also have the legions of microsoft employees who troll and subvert. and then of course the mac fiends. (of which i am one) and somewhere theres the few unix heads who contribute.
i guess i'm just sick of hearing people who "hate" microsoft helping them by promoting their architecture and systems. to me it is the biggest hypocritical side to slashdot. well other than the subscription gig.
what does maintain the unit upgrades mean? software? replay updates software all the time on the replay tv units. it just gets pooped into the machine whenever the box phones home. theres no subscription, no tracking to a name (they are starting to gather info, but theres never any tie back to a particular user - other than perhaps caller id, but somehow since its dialing in thru uunet, i doubt they can easily get that)
this is correct. JMS was written to facilitate the MQSeries of the world. message queueing or store and foreward based guaranteed delivery systems are definately useful, but not necessarily what you want for Real Time Messaging. the additional overhead is enormous. IBM's MQSeries for example, while being an incredibly scalable, reliable, supportable product, tacks on a header of around 700 bytes. and if you're trying to do Real Time Messaging, and you dont need guaranteed delivery (even if it takes weeks), sure MQSeries will work, but its totally overkill. for Real Time Messages, just open a socket. a) its cheaper in resources b) its faster c) its how a JMS provider will be doing it anyways.
AppleWorks is nice, it doesnt support powerpoint, but it does word and excel formats. no, its not open source, but its cheap (~US$80) and smaller than Office (ok thats not hard)
plus its fully cocoa so it can make the fonts look nice.
i know that when they do that in some skyscrapers they just use the computer controlled lighting systems that are pre-existant. but they have to usually manually figure out what room is what...
my only thoughts on this are that the wine license is extremely vague and open to interpretation - this could allow for a malicious company to take advantage of Wine. The LGPL is much tighter in terms of how it is worded, and so is the Apache license.
after reading the email and then finding the wine license it makes a lot of sense to me why they would want to switch to LGPL. As someone who works with computers and has seen the myriad of license and contractual negotiations that are caused by corporate use of software, i've always wondered how free or open software would survive, and always had thought the apache and lgpl licence schemes gave the most advantage to software companies in promoting/using said software while still making a dollar with their enhancements.
No matter what we want, if there is a company behind a product, it needs to make money.

anyone looked at edge server technology? its something ibm and various others came up with to basically move the content out towards the clients.
what i'm wondering is if that technology conecpt has any other compression novel ideas.
exactly my point.
thank you. if i had mod points to give you, i would.
