What happened to all the dreams back in the 1970's?
I think they were tempered by double digit inflation and interest rates, grafitti, and the overall destruction of our cities. Those were the dark days.
Yes, the OpenAFS guys use it for authenticating users of AFS mounts. Getting Kerberos working is vital to a third-party ticket/key/token/whatever system right now.
Has anyone here succesfully rolled out Jabber in a corporate environment,
At our institution we have deployed jabber quite successfully. Our implementation is quite open, but for you it sounds like a little more lockdown is in order. The main things that I can think of to help your jabber buisness case are:
Deploy your own jabber server
Decide on the *highly* recommended, or required client(s)
Create accounts that sync with your central authentication servers. This might take a small amount of code to translate accounts.
Decide if your users can have offsite accounts in their local clients. If they cannot, then block the jabber ports.
Decide if your jabber server will pass messages to offsite JIDs or not.
This really is not that huge of a list, but creating a security model that satisfies management, users and sysadmins is rarely easy. If your users truly want/need an IM to use, jabber is the way to go. What other system gives you the ability to make all of the above choices yourself?
"Microsoft are fond of touting Shared Source as being "as good as" Open Source, with a view to muddying the waters as much as possible, and so keeping as many people away from the benefits of Open Source Software (OSS) (particularly Software Libré AKA "Free Software") as they can.
Microsoft cannot take control of OSS over because of special immunities, and they cannnot destroy OSS because it has no power that they can affect. So, they're praying for the whispering campaign card.
If you cannot tell: I do not like being called a thief for using a service on my computer how I want to.
Knowing how the web works can also be fun.

Sorry, close, but not all the way there.
The US (we, as in I and those for a large radius around me), have our fair share of religious fundamentalists. This is a facet of the US environment, but the problem is that while extremists are not a huge percentage, they are a vocal one. The rest of us are too complacent and fat to do anything about it until they try to turn off MTV (the shiny things network).
If one group is yelling "don't do it!" and the rest is saying "Don't care, when is Dr. Phil on?", then whom are the politicians going to cater to? Ah, the wonders of quasi-democracy.

That's 40 Hz per unit in a large asynchoronous system of individual processing clusters.
one that handles getting audio signals, one that handles getting video signals... and then completely different controllers for recognizing voice, music, speech, text, and images
They're market has partially been dependant upon OS licensing, but truly they are a hardware company.
One solution they have, if they choose to pursue it, is to expand their "Sun Linux" projects to produce much better Linux support for Sun hardware. This would allow Sun to sell more hardware, and have lower overhead of software development by using GNU tools and OSS sources.
It is also a chance for them to sell more support contracts. Just like they've always done.
Wether or not Sun can afford to do this and survive is an exercise in speculation. Many intelligent people have predicted the commodization of the OS and this is just one example of that.
I love the OSX 10.2 iBook I get to use at work.
It is a wonderful machine with everything I've needed so far.
I am seriously considering one for my next big computer purchase in the future.
Some would count the lack of a GUI as a downside.
I'm sorry if I don't like to have a GUI, especially a web based one, running on my firewall. The simpler the rules the better, and I would want to be *very* sure that code was locked down. Locking down a GUI seems to be a waste of resources when you can get along easily if you are willing to edit text files to accomplish the same thing.
I have been working with a new print server at work, and have been quite happy with the web configuration that comes with CUPS. GUIs have their place, but not on my OpenBSD machines that only have power & ethernet cables running into them.
It has been over two years (since 2.7, actually) since OpenBSD sucked me in with its simplicity, security and *good* documentation.
In that time I have never started Xwindows on an OpenBSD machine. There is no need.
OpenBSD has been a solid firewall, router, bridge, MX, DNS server, NIS, NFS, Web, SSH/SCP/SFTP machine with nary a GUI to be seen.
With 3.2 they have finally done superb work with locking down services. This is even extended to services that are not on by default, such as apache. They have also gotten right of that annoying/etc/nat.conf file! Time for a round of upgrades.
In all likelyhood the weapons carried by the average compound assault troop^H^H^H^H^H^H agent will be the

I'm *sure* that the Feds will appreciate anything a group of people do that deviates from the norm.
They'll like it so much that they'll just *have* to come over and check it out, all in the interest of the public safety of course.;-)

In the OpenBSD 3.4 release, which came out recently, they introduced a W^X system for x86 that accomplishes the same thing.

Shall we purchase him a nice, first class, one way ticket for his arraignment?
Yeah!
That territory is ours! Vancouver and all the way down to California! The Crown needs to know that it cannot mess with lawful governments!

Oh? What's that? They've already reached an agreement? Dang, all that petition signing for nothing. Well, back to watching that curling match.
Pass me another Elsinore will ya?

That's why you run fibre between buildings. A copper->fibre 10 or 100 bridge is quite cheap these days. The fibre is also not so expensive anymore.

Spiking over 150K/s and loving it.
Maybe I'll check it out in the PC lab this weekend.
BitTorrent does penalize you heavily for not uploading properly. Sorry if that is inconvenient for you.

If I mod you down, could you chuck the controllers too?
Thanks.
A little digging through google caches got me to a mirror site for the Athene on Win32/Linux executable:
http://www.simtel.net/pub/pd/60070.html
No, it isn't the bootable linux iso environment, so no bonus points for me, but it will give you an idea of how the athene GUI works.
I love that list of vulns for apache!
Not only are they older, they almost all have one thing in common: they are for apache on Win32.
Only one or two of the seven affected a UNIX platformed apache.
It seems that the vulns for Win32 revolve around getting the '/' vs '\' right and how they do their path checking.
Microsoft cannot take control of OSS over because of special immunities, and they cannnot destroy OSS because it has no power that they can affect. So, they're praying for the whispering campaign card.
I always thought it was just a game.
I'm 75% sure they may have been lost, not taken or doctored.
This statistic has a margin of error +/- 50% depending on how I feel at any given time.
Everyone here (in the Slashdot camp), should remember that the project lead for MS BOB became Mrs. Gates.
This alone should portend evil things.
And this came up!
