I mean really, with unix, remote admin'ing has been a standard for ages.
If the security is tight, SSH/VPN/firewall/dialup whatever, its not a security point.
Some remote admin, i do via ssh, some i have to go through a secure dialup. Doesn't really matter, as long as the proper security is installed, correctly from the beginning. It saves me time, the customer time, and the bottom end result is less time wasted, hence less $$ fees for the end user.
Oh come on dude. Want us to rename RSH as well? Perhaps people are confusing rsh and ssh..
give it up. Great program and all, but you should take the opportunity you get when someone comes to your site, with openssh problems, as a possible sales lead. Most companies would love the opportunity to get "strays" into their company
They are clearly borrowing money from you (rebate) taking that money, loaning it out at 19% or higher interest rates during the period in which you should get your rebate.
Theres no other reason why your mail would not reach them within 5-7 days, 1 day to process, and 1 day to cut the check.
This is truly one way the companies are increasing their cash...
Cyberrebates.com is all about that..
also they probably estimate a certain percentage of rebates will never get sent in, on time , or at all as well.
so a rebate isn't always worth as much as is stated.
Yes thats right! All flavours of linux should merge together, create a monopoly.

This is probably rampant at many isp's reselling dsl, wonder if its going to be the same with broadband under the deregulation? It's one thing to not pay your cable bill, but to not pay your Earthlink bill is a whole nother matter!
More precisely, with the lack of leverage and initial heavy costs of broadband resale, VS the customer delinquent rates, going to make profits for the cable resellers pretty thin?
To those still out there.. keep up the good work.
Man i miss those days, when you could dialup and be www.ereet.com or whatever the hell else you wanted to be with static ip:)
Those were the good days..

I've been tweakin linux kernels for a long time. Yet when it comes down to the dirty of having the server uptimes its always been freebsd (or BSDi).
Good god i love linux for its nifty features, but when the same webserver on the same box, craps out every day on linux (2.2 or 2.4, tweaked), and lasts forever on freebsd, the problem answered itself.
I wish linux had the stability in my application, but when 24/7 non-stop is my job, i'll stick to freebsd.
Not as fast, not as pretty, or krad. but hey, it works.
You may say my application is poor, or my hardware choice is poor, but when it comes down to explaining why the site was down to the CTO, "linux is cooler and faster" just doesn't cut it:)
The big wigs have solaris reliably as a minimum, with:) Intel/linux prices in mind, that leaves my only option to freebsd/bsdi at this point.
If you haven't ever used a real raid cage/dedicated box, each drive is powered up sequentially, in order to save the power supply. If you too a good dothill raid box with 18 scsi drives, and powered them all at the same time, the power supply would go POOF in a cloud of smoke. Read your hard drive specs, they use a ton of power to spin up. All decent raid controllers spin each drive up one at a time, to not influx a surge of power.
Imagine a noc with 1000's of hardrives, they all just power up at one given time, the ups' would crap out in an instant from the instantaneous load.
i was carded electronically. The good ole fashion way. Steal card info from database, use it .
Go search on for an old g-phile on carding and you'll understand the term i used.
The only place i used that card, was, guess where? Paypal, ebay, and EGGHEAD.
Given those facts, i'd have to say the truth is one of those folks were hacked, and abused. Egghead obviously comes to mind, but the others. i dunno.
Doesn't bother me much, other than the hassle of having to cancel the card, and have a "Card stolen" trade line on my credit report..
but the lack of security is true. The hackers probably used a well known security hole. These Etailers just don't give a damn either. I guess they are spending their last $$ to save their asses and can't seem to find the cash to hire some full-time ultra-l33t hax0rs to guard their systems. If the script kiddies are capable of finding the holes in their systems, its damn straight just as easy for a good security admin to protect the holes.
I find the etailers guilty of negligence.
But is the problem just limited to etailers? No.
Almost everyone that puts a site online these days, seems to forget the same old adage. If you don't pay attention to your initial security problems, and dont keep up with the daily updates of security, you are just as guilty. How many webhosting providers do you think take active security against their server farms? Probably close to none.
Its your responsibility to ensure your commerce site is secure, and if you ignore the problem you'll end up like egghead in quick time.
even if everyone in the world stole their look, it would at the least bolster their pathetic sales.
The peepz rich enough and (stupid?) to buy a real mac for the look, are going to buy the original because they want "the groovy see through case".
Apple needs a new tactic to get more headlines and sales..
Friends hire friends, kick backs, under the table, overpriced consultancy.
its the "good ole boys'" syndrome in most cases. its sad that business is "dirty" but it is how it has always existed, and always will..
Just need a dnetc client for this, and voila.
Perhaps we can run snort or nessus on it too:)

Let's face it, juno is at their ends. This is a last ditch effort to gain some investment funding from somebody. New angle, give us $10 million so we can last another year...
The fact is the revenue is not going to be made with this policy, the free isp model is 100% flawed in the current market, and well i don't blame them for trying, they are trying to feed their families, and the freenet idea is a very noble cause.
Only way i ever see the freenet idea working is if the government comes in and backs it up for those (elderly, lower income) with some of our hard earned tax money.
Power supply fans, hard drive motors, they take on the most wear and tear during power up. Always have.. They are 99% of your power utilization.
Thats where all the power is, the redundant power supplies, the raid unit..
I certainly wouldn't want my n+1 power supply to be sleeping, when the primary fails..
besides, a nice raid 0+1 which i use at work, takes upward for a few minutes to power up correctly, Stage that with some sleeping power supplies, and your talking minutes of down time.
I'm sure most unix apps won't tolerate that.
Most noc's use polling software like whatsup and redalert.com service, which test your sql server etc, won't work...
You cali folks just need to have off-site backups in states where there is no issue. (Hint: i have an empty noc, msg me:) or just keep the lights off. I highly doubt "the internet" is truly eating up all of your power.

I manage a bsdi server with over 120K users. Its the only low cost server solution i've ever seen maintain uptimes in a harsh (read hosting) environment for such a low cost.
Their support is decent, not superb, but cheap as well. The software may be a bit archaic in terms of features, but it is rock fricken solid.
The pc it runs on cost far less than the equivalent sun ultra (would have to be > 450) and the costs of the os..
BSDi all the way, until you can afford a solution, and support from a sun or higher end server line up. But you'll easily spend more than double for the same rig to do the same function..
i'm sold on them. hopefully with more mainstream support now (including java which is a little buggy right now). BSDi should certainly be considered king of the high-end unix server operating systems for the intel platform...

Really. If folks can slap some crap together that hardly works, and call it redhat 7.0, than almost any kiddie can use the "do it yourself distro builder" and do the same.
however, without at least one major software vendor (like commercial sql, or commercial apps) backing you, you are put into the field of "Anyone can do this".
Redhat is starting to sux0r, and its sad they have so much momentum by financers.
