oh please. if people are pirating Blizzard products they should go after the people that are actually pirating software! All Bnetd is is just a clean room implementation of the battle.net servers, right? Nobody is actually giving away cd keys to games
Protecting their IP means hiring a team of lawyers to send threatening letters to hobbyists and legistlating laws such as the DMCA knowing that the people that wrote bnetd would have a good shot at being vindicated
they dont have a God giving gift to make a profit. or for people to use their servers. im not sure why they even brought out the argument that bnetd is pirating software. no one is giving away copies of warcraft. all they've done is reverse engineer the server.. happens all the time.. remember Compaq reverse engineering the IBM BIOS?
Yea, I should have mentioned that the 3.0 install was smooth, but would then just hang overnight or kernel panic when compiling from ports. The snapshot from the beginning of February wasn't much better. I'm going to try 3.1 when it comes out for sure since I dislike NetBSD's pkgsrc and where they install packages (/usr/pkg/"
Ive tried Linux, OpenBSD, and NetBSD on my SparcStation II (sun4c) and I have to say that the smoothest install was OpenBSD but kernel panic'ed a lot of times compiling from ports and the snapshots segfault on the installation, the fastest was Linux especially logging in thru ssh but supposedly has memory management problems on these types of sparcs, and the stablest but slowest has been NetBSD.
why learn at all then? oh thats right.. you might acquire a new skill that might make you more money so you can buy a better house or car for your family
yeah, well.. we're just experimenting, it seemed like a good idea to my coworker since he reasoned that mail servers have mx records that should an IN A and a PTR. I'm not sure if it's a good deal since people might not get a resolving host name from their ISP but are still legit.
We use ordb and orbz here at work. Over a day or so it rejected about 500 emails.
Then we blocked all mail from mail servers who's IP numbers don't resolve. Now we have cut down on spam dramatically.. our root@ email account has gone from 200 spam emails a day to about 10
you're forgetting about the remote capabilities of
those two sound servers.. maybe like 5% of the people
using arts/esd are using it though. plus i have an
older isa sound card that just cannot play two
sounds at once, so i'd still like esd running.
I have one of these SiS 630 motherboards with an integrated NIC and FreeBSD saw the NIC but could never give it an IP address. So I disabled the onboard NIC and put in an realtek 8139 in my computer, and FreeBSD didnt recognize the 8139 either. Also tried OpenBSD with no go. With Linux and Window the onboard NIC shows up just right. It helps with the SiS motherboard maker writes the drivers, though . I dont blame the BSD developers though, just shoddy motherboard makers
telnet is a good network tool to have.. just to test out open ports, usually. also to check for open mail relays, and see which version a server is running on.
Eight months? I think that's exaggerating. I work at a local ISP down here in Texas and we would take less than two weeks to set someone up with DSL (we still have to go thru Swbell's DSLAM of course).
Our DSL reseller had to cancel ADSL service and just go with SDSL (losing too much money to Swbell's ADSL service) which is better speeds up and down but just too expensive for regular people.
I am not sure how to switch language sets from one to another (never had to), but i'm sure its a matter of setting the LANG variable or LC_TYPE and then generating the locales.
blah blah blah. that's why there's so many Linux distros, to suit every kind of need. If you want multi-language distro use Suse or Mandrake since those are more international than RedHat or Slackware. Choosing a language is one of the first choices when I install Debian.
Oh, and to get my Creative Webcam 3 installed in Linux took at the most 2 modprobe commands and compiling gqcam to take pictures. While I could never get it working in Windows 2000 (this was a year ago though)
sorry, but if you dont have physical security, then you have NO security at all. someone could have just put a dos boot floppy and fdisk'ed anything on the hard drive.

this isnt as bad as any other small business.. around 90% of them go bust within one year

ever heard of ssh port forwarding? you could possibly make webmin ONLY listen to localhost:webadminport and still use it by doing a
/home/user/.ssh/server.id_dsa -N -L somerandomport:server:webadminport user@server
ssh -2 -f -i

that Mandrake was originally known as the RedHat with KDE, and is still very KDE-centric, writes most of their config tools using GTK
yep..

because security fixes get put into unstable first, then a week or so later gets into testing. so for a whole week you could be cracked.
squid might be overkill, i use junkbuster myself to discard ads
change nobody's shell to /bin/false then ? im sure that wouldn't break any cgi/webserver scripts/functions

apt-cache search libgtk1.3
for unstable at least =)
