  1. Re:managed switches on Handling User Grown Machines on a Large Network? · · Score: 2, Informative

    > fire off a script that shuts down the user's

    oh yeah. then the script kiddies are going to spoof your packets and your *whole* network comes to an end. VERY good idea.

  2. Re:Kazaa vs. eDonkey on Gnutella2? · · Score: 2, Informative

    it's partially open source (there is a key component kept secret for security reasons, the one flaw in thes protocols is that they require trusted clients unfortunately)

    That's not true anymore. Since emule, anonther edonkey client, released its source code, the mldonkey author decided to open-source the remaining code.

  3. Re:Am I the only one who doesn't get this? on Slashback: Retail, Preparedness, Games · · Score: 2, Informative

    Cell phones have to go through the airport's xray, at least in the european airports i've been to lately (london stansted, salzburg, frankfurt). actually i had to put everything except my clothes in my bag, even my newspapers, and this bag had to go through the xray. you and your clothes go through the metal detector then. the only things that don't get checked by the metal detectors or the xray are your keys and your wallet.

    us airports HAVE to learn a lot more about security. i can't believe you were able to go tothe gates WITHOUT a ticket... european airports have a stronger sense of security, because almost every flight is an international flight.

  4. Red Hat Releases updated RPMs on Running BIND 4 or 8? Upgrade! · · Score: 4

    Get the not yet announced RPMs of bind-8.2.3 at Red Hat's FTP-Server's Update-Section or the Mirrors. Goes back even to Red Hat Linux 5.2.

  10. Re:Q3 on TNT? on Brian Paul to join Precision Insight · · Score: 1

    Q3Test is playable with a TNT (here ELSA Erazor II) under X11. I've installed the X Server with the TNT from nvidia.com.

  11. Re:patch-kernel on Linux 2.2.10 · · Score: 2

    > they can even be .gz'd I think

    they can even be .bz2'd (and mixed). i put my patches into one directory, cd into it, and say

    sh /usr/src/linux/scripts/patch-kernel && cd /usr/src/linux && make xconfig && make dep clean zlilo modules_install && /sbin/shutdown -r now

    sure, i have a lilo-entry with the previous kernel (make zlilo moves it to \vmlinuz.old) and some older kernel(s):

    ...
    image=/vmlinuz
    label=linux
    root=/dev/hda3
    read-only
    image=/vmlinuz.old
    label=linux.old
    root=/dev/hda3
    read-only
    image=/vmlinuz-2.2.5
    label=linux-2.2.5
    root=/dev/hda3
    read-only
    image=/vmlinuz-2.0.36
    label=linux-2.0.36
    root=/dev/hda3
    read-only

    this works like a charm. ;))
