  1. Mac OS X? on Samba Exploit Discovered, Fixed · · Score: 1
    Does this affect Mac OS X? I haven't seen anything on Apple's security-announce list.
    Usage: smbclient service <password> [options]
    Version 2.2.3a (build 25)
    Ah well, hopefully they'll release something soon.
  2. Re:server == remote GUI on PPC Linux vs. Mac OS X Server: Linux Edges Out · · Score: 3, Informative
    Mac OS X does not have GUI I can run remotely.

    Three words. Apple Remote Desktop.

  3. Re:0(1) scheduler on New Scheduler Available for FreeBSD · · Score: 1

    You're probably thinking about theta, which looks very similar to zero.

  4. Re:LCD Slowdown on Apple Sticks with CRTs For Now · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I don't think it had anything to do with LCD screens. If that were the case, then DVD/video playback would suck... which it doesn't.

    No, I think it was more of a general OS/network issue. From my own experience, Mozilla seemed a lot 'snappier' on a Windows box than it did on my TiBook... but I still prefer my TiBook for general use. ;)

    For $129, Jaguar better be faster.

  5. Re:What version does OSX ship with? on OpenSSH Vulnerability Disclosed, Version 3.4 Released · · Score: 1
    It seems like we might be vulnerable. If you ssh -v localhost, you'll see this:

    debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive

    The presence of keyboard-interactive would seem to imply that ChallengeResponseAuthentication is on.

  6. Re:"Muahahahaha!" on Apple Drops Mac OS 9 · · Score: 1
    BTW, how long till the first OS-9 emulator hits the fan? ;)
    Classic, you mean? :)
  7. Re:OS X isn't UNIX on Apple's Response to Microsoft: Unix Ads? · · Score: 1
    There was something about this sometime last year.

    But if you notice the update at the end of the article, the Open Group later decided to include Apple as a UNIX vendor.

  8. Fuel dumped? on Another Plane Down in New York · · Score: 2, Interesting
    According to CNN, the pilot dumped the fuel before the plane went down. I wonder where the fuel went? Into the bay? Onto neighborhoods below?

    Regardless, it shows last-minute straight-thinking on the pilot's part. The fire on the ground could have been much worse.

  9. Re:XFS on Linux Breaks 100 Petabyte Ceiling · · Score: 1
    Does this include modifications to various syscalls? Last time I tried porting something to Linux, I was dismayed to find that off_t (used in stat(2), lseek(2), etc.) was only 32-bits on x86 platforms.

    It doesn't seem very useful to have a 64-bit filesystem if your applications are limited to 32-bit operations.

  10. Re:binding 2 servers to the same port? on One-Machine Linux Cluster · · Score: 1
    What!?!? What happens when you bind, say, sshd to port 22 on multiple servers? Do you also need multiple ethernet cards and ip addresses? The docs don't say anything about that...

    It sounds like you will need multiple IP addresses, but I'd think you could use IP aliases on a single interface just fine.

  11. Re:possible security vulnerability? on One-Machine Linux Cluster · · Score: 1
    I must be missing something here. It can't be this simple. Can anyone point out where I've gone wrong?

    I haven't actually looked at the implementation, but I would think that they'd restrict the creation of vservers to root. That is, the real root of the host server. root users of vservers would not and should not be able to create more vservers.

  12. Re:FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE vs 2.4 comparison? on Debate on Linux Virtual Memory Handling · · Score: 2, Interesting
    The old benchmark is here, but as the poster above noted, the new benchmark is forthcoming.

    Although it will be comparing a moving target (Linux 2.4.x) to a moving target (FreeBSD 4.x), the results will be interesting. AFAIK, there weren't any major changes (I mean like VM changes :) in FreeBSD, so comparing the old and new benchmarks would give a good indication on how much Arcangeli's VM improves things.

  13. Re:To fork, or not to fork on Debate on Linux Virtual Memory Handling · · Score: 1
    Is it truly better? I would think forking would lead to stagnation.

    As it is, the Linus/AC trees are effectively forks because of the different VM codebases. Any new drivers, any new code would have to be ported from one tree to the other (assuming you want the same features on both trees). Seems like a lot more unnecessary work to me.

  14. Re:Is this not covered by the BSD license? on IP Theft in the Linux Kernel · · Score: 1
    I believe it's the latter: "do with it as you please, but leave the copyright" (doesn't necessarily have to be in the source though).

    If BSD licensed code were used in a closed source project, the copyright acknowledgement would still have to exist somewhere (documentation, etc.) because of this clause:

    Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.

    A typical BSD license can be found here. It seems fairly self-explanitory and clear.
