UsePAM YES
PasswordAuthentication NO
It looks like I may run into troubles in some cases. ?? I don't know enough about ssh, but I bet Password Authentication did not work originally for me because I did not use the --with-md5-passwords option to build.
What is the deal with %{rescue}? I just did a quick google and didn't hit anything easily. Is PAM not enabled in some rescue situations? ??
You now apparently have to explicitly set the UsePAM option to yes in your sshd_config file.
Doh!
But I still can't get old mandrake to compile...

I have heard fair use for copying out of a book is around 10% of the content. Handing out a chapter might be ok, but handing out copies of the entire book would be a bit much.
Of course, you can get your indian friends (dots not feathers) to bring back LEGAL copies of $100 scientific texts that run for a couple of bucks in india. This is similar to DVD region encoding, but the cheap version is paperback on bad paper.
There have always been anti copying measures available. MS could have forced all office users to have a $2 dongle so that they could run MS.
Part of their scheme seems to be make software easy to copy to get a large installed base. If people can take it home and pirate it, they will think they need it at work and have their business shell out $400 per seat for office.
With respect to your car replicator, you are almost making the buggy whip argument: we should not have disruptive technology because it kills established business. Software survives on IP protection (patent / copyright).
If the consumer gets too screwed, eventually they work around the solution. Illegal downloads for music industry, legal GPL and distributed development for software.
My buddies got busted like this at a checkpoint because they turned off.
You see the checkpoint and turn off. In our case, the cops were only looking for people that avoid the checkpoint, assuming they have something to hide (Just cause for a stop?). My buddies got stopped and had to lose their underage beer, but no ticket.
I got waved right through the checkpoint and got to keep my beer...
No, I never heard of trade paperbacks. I never really got into comics. I like books with more words than pictures.
I am not advocating mass piracy. If I were into it, I would pay to view the old issues. Like the online CD/download issues, I would not pay full prices for an electronic version of a comic, and I would pay even less for a DRM electronic version of a comic. ($10 for a CD MP3 album download is silly)
I appreciate copyrights, I generate scientific works that take a lot of effort. True scientists want to generate work that others can use, forget profit. True entertainers want to generate work that others can enjoy, forget profit. Somehow we all have to get paid, and that is what is getting sorted out currently (DRM, DMCA, etc)
It has been years, but I swear that I remember having comics at the local library kids section. I know they have traditional periodicals.
Just like they have CDs at the library you can take home and read (or copy). Maybe the libraries should make them available?
When you post content online for free download to anyone, you probably cross a line.
If you scan the new Harry Potter and send it to a friend that can't buy it, is that across the line?
What about 10 friends?
What about your buddy list of a couple hundred?
I think you can share content with people that you have a personal connection with. I could lend you any of my books or hundreds of CDs, or I could just give you my smb share password. (I am still paranoid about P2P).
Putting content on an open download is still a bad idea, but Freenet is trying to make it possible.
BTW, if comics are too expensive, get a real job!;-)
I thought NFS was also a security risk. To run NFS, you have to turn on a few other services (RPC??) and open more ports.
There was some exploit related to spoofing your DNS then taking over the NFS share. I know guys that lost machines that way a few years back, so it may be a thing of the past.
I try to keep only 22 (ssh) open unless I have a samba server running, and then I still try to filter out uknown / untrusted IPs.
nmap is your friend to see where you have your pants down.
The LyX red text option is always there to insert raw LaTeX code.
LyX actually taught me a lot about LaTeX. I would see new options and functions in LyX and then figure new things about LaTeX.
LyX is great for making the learning curve for LaTeX easier.

In Pursuit Of A Spammer
·
· Score: 1, Redundant
Using your argument that "your time directly is worth money", all the crap snail mail junk I get should be illegal. It takes my time to pick that stuff out of the mailbox, sort it, and throw it out.
Unless you are paying by the hour for internet access, spam email does not really directly cost you anything. You can spend your time and effort filtering it, or just ignore it. I have a Tivo so that I can skip TV commercials. I don't read ad circulars in the paper. I rarely even notice billboards on the interstate. Let spam become internet noise and ignore it as much as possible...
Kids should not see the port spam, but that is easy enough if you turn off images and filter some mails directly to the trash.
Yeah, but you would think that they might have one person that the final ok has to come from. Or they could modify slashcode to force them to at lease glance over the titles of the last 8 stories on the front page and the last 5 from the same category.
A lot of baggage ends up in Scottsboro, AL at the unclaimed baggage store. The airlines sell off the luggage that is truly lost. You can find lots of interesting there, clothes, books, skis, underwear, etc...
ASL Linux is great. I have a Monarch laptop. It is a ~3.5 lbs with a nice XGA 13 inch screen. Detachable base for CD/battery/floppy adds another 3 lbs. Mine is pretty old, but I asume the new ones are pretty nice. Good service, only install Windows if you pay extra. They set up partitions however you want, even networking. My laptop has 1 pc card slot, I use it for wireless at home.
I have bought a few other orders from these guyst (desktop systems). They will gladly dual boot your system and configure to your needs. They have been around for a while as well. I think I bought my first desktop from them four years back.
I have had pretty good experience with lpsolve. The new version is LGPL
The source is quite easy to get into and mess with, so you should be able to write a simple wrapper for whatever, including octave. I think the Matlab wrapper already exists.
It even can solve MILPs, but not very well in some cases.
Frontends are nice. Most people now use a frontend for hacking HTML. I know some people would scream that you only need emacs to make a web page, but WYSIWYG is nice for 95%+ of the world.
I personally love using LyX for creating TeX documents. I like being able to see my equations as I work. It also gives you the ability to type in equations similar to normal TeX OR use the mouse to click on math symbols. Plus you can see your postscrip figures in the document.
Ideally, you could embed a MathML equation that would be rendered in the browser, but also provide and alternate image in the document that can be loaded if the browser does not support MathML (like in latex2html)
When I asked the question, I knew about the Qt free for Unix and the Qt Commercial for windows.
In my qeustion, I allude to use of Cygwin32 for compiling Unix apps. I was really just wondering if the Qt free version for Unix could be compiled using the Cygwin tools. If so, you could run Qt based apps in Windows as long as you use an X server on the windows box. This is a very different approach than using the Qt commercial version that interacts directly with the Windows window widget manager.
I am pretty well read on this topic. I was just wondering if the Unix free version specifically prohibitted use on windows platforms (which it shouldn't if it were true GPL). I have not had time to try to compile Qt/KDE using Cygwin, but maybe I should do that rather than ask questions to/. and get flamed for being clueless.

I cannot pay hundreds of dollars for classic comic books.
Having these online so that people could read from the start of the series would be wonderful.
Having them online so that you don't have to pay a couple of buck for a recent issue is silly.
Plus, comics are about collecting. I doubt this would hurt the industry too much.
