I was infected a week ago. The next day I was warned by F-secure.
I removed the files. Commented out the open_ssl module and restarted Apache.
I had done an upgrade of openSSL in August or so I thought - problem: Redhat backported the patch to the same version number as installed with 7.2. I guess that I applied the wrong rpms.
As for gcc on the server - the server isn't in tha same country as I am. I have never seen it in the flesh. I have a standard Redhat 7.2 on the machine because I need to compile stuff from time to time.
Will be available is the key phrase. Then will need a few versions to get debugged and stable.
Too late.
I have all that I need _now_ including speed and confidence that the machine will stay up under load and that my data is safe and sound... MySQL is playing catch up to PostgreSQL but serious apps today don't have the time to wait.
A better business model would have been concentrating on being a speedy flat file server for web backends.

Good comment!
If I want flat file I use perl.
If I want SQL I use PostgreSQL
MySQL didn't get in my toolkit because of the licence. By the time they changed the licence I was using real SQL database software.
The only good thing MySQL has is marketing. They are a lot like MS SQL int that respect.
I run Netatalk on all my linux boxes. If you have 100 Mb EN then transfer times are OK for normal files. Set up a HFS partition and copy from the Mac to the disk plugged into your linux server.
Mac OS X should be able to see all partition types that FeeBSD can see. Linux too.
But if you are just looking at backing up some files from a linux box bzip them and scp them to the Mac running OS X... rsync is reported to work in the other direction too.
You must know what basic ingredients taste like alone. Then using memory mix them in adequate quantities so that in the mix one doesn't overpower the other. Cooking is easy but it takes experience and talent to be a good cook.
As an ex company director: long hours affect quality in all creative work. Long hours are only suited to repeating tasks that don't require thought.
I threw my creative staff out of the office after a certain time. Or I let them stay if they wanted to play on the computer.
And in creative work you don't want the bottom line being eroded by under performing burnt out young people. The best word for the bottom line is "Stop. You've done enough for the day".
Now that I am self employed I will not work over 10 hours a day 5 days a week. I did 70h and I was earning more money but having a lot less fun.
1. I had a Mac II fx power supply blow when I plugged a 13" tactile monitor in to the power out. A nice vertical and horizontal erruption of green smoke came out of the slots in the case.
2. One of the fans stopped on the Athlon 600. The one that stayed working blew 100C air on to the RAM. The RAM chip did not like that... the server went down. The hard disks in that machine run too hot to touch.
3. I always vacuum the inside of cases when they are open for mods/upgrades. While they are running I vacuum all fans/vents/holes where dust accumulates about every three months.
4. Macs I have owned always have shut down when air temperature gets too high.
I don't see the big deal with this server because I don't do multimedia any more. It's just a very expensive 1U with interesting multimedia capabilities (read my last post again, I already said that). For multimedi streaming you are going to need SCSI and then it will be very expensive indeed. It doesn't worry me at all. What does worry me is that the money is better spent in designing the application than in the hardware. It worries me that for this price level you don't get SCSI and a lot of bullshit about ATA.
Servers are just tools. They have nothing to do with cars - some cars are tools, some are for people with penis envy. If I wanted to show off my servers they would be stamped SGI... Come to think of it they have some great streaming tools...
Mac OS X comes with all the wrong free/opensource tools: sendmail instead of Postfix MySQL instead of PostgreSQL no Cyrus IMAP etc. etc.
So there is no advantage - you have to install all the right tools yourself. Where is the ease of use in that?
Mac OS X is a great desktop OS (I love it). There may be places (schools) where it can be cost effective on the server too. But it is much easier to set up a cost effective, secure server platform for business on other hardware. And in these times cost effective is important.
PS. 15 minutes from CD to running secure Web server with certificate installed - check RedHat Professional instead of wasting hours with other Linux distros.
Postgres = Oracle MySQL = Bugs and non SQL compatibility
We are talking serious business web applications here.
I have been using Apple products since 1987. For serving web application this product is not cost effective.
It isn't easier to install free/opensource software on a Mac than on a Linux server. apt or rpm package managers are just as efficient as a disk image. And there are great administration tools - my Max OS X box runs Webmin for administring Apache etc.
This machine is for video and scientific data crunching that needs Altivec. It will be great for that. People will run web applications on it because they have the cash, but the web applications won't be faster or easier to maintain.
I liked your last PS: for even more moneyget the functionality that others have out of the box!

it was irony. I can't stand people saying "when I looked at it in 1945 it wasn't very good"
I have been using PostgreSQL since 1997 and have always found it to meet my needs. First of all because in 1997 it was open source and mySQL wasn't...
The name is PostgreSQL
Get information before posting - it does runn on Windows.
In two flavors: with cygwin and a new native port that has branched recently
Slashdot is for facts not badly informed trolls
> It has been a few years since I touched postgres, so this may be fixed by now.
Like most open source projects no developpement has been done on PostgreSQL (notice the new name) in years...
I had a bad hardware crash last year and I got back _all_ my data. Using the supplied tools and help from the lists.
oops been reading way too much slashdot the spelling is contageous...

Is it just me or do NT4/IIS with crummy .asp pages fall aver under very light load???
Seeing the spelling of a lot of these posts I'm not sure they know how to read...
They sure as hell can't write!

Excuse me. What democracy?
I have been using FireWire (aka ieee1394) on linux for two years now. Sony Vaio Picturebook and QPS CD-RW.
iMac 17" costs $1999 = 2630 EUROS in Europe
For memory $1 = 1 EURO
Apple gets $630 for each iMac 17" sold in Europe. Credit for the same costs $88 in Europe compared to $44 in the US.
