I'm not sure that's quite true across the board. According to a blog comment here by Simon Anderson (dreamhost CEO):
Zachary:- some more detail - our systems have stored and used encrypted passwords for a number of years, however the hacker found a legacy pool of unencrypted FTP/shell passwords in a database table that we had not previously deleted. We've now confirmed that there are no more legacy unencrypted passwords in our systems. And we're investigating further measures to ensure security of passwords including when a customer requests their password by email (this was not the issue here, though). Re your shell accounts, I'd suggest that you select a new password just to be sure.
If it used to be a BBS system, it will probably have software for one of xmodem, ymodem or zmodem file transfers. You should be able to use rzsz on Linux to transfer files
Here is a reference implementation that reads from stdin and writes to stdout. Implementers can use this to check the validity of their implementation.
Implementation details vary slightly from the above design, but the functionality is complete.
Version 2 will include the option to use/dev/urandom, and will be available as a no-cost upgrade to customers with a maintenance agreement.
Actually, she is the Queen of Canada, and the United Kingdom.
More accurately, she is the Queen of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and Grenadines, The Bahamas, Tuvalu and the United Kingdom.
Apologies to any people that I have forgotten, or included erroneously.
#1: Consider that the volumes of spam we're talking about - probably gigabytes upon gigabytes - would easily paralyze a cable modem connection, particularly when, for most @Home users, the upload cap is approximately 128Kbps (approx. ISDN speed). For anyone to make use of this exploit would require probably a dozen cracked systems per spammer.

Newsadmin.com stats reports at www.newsadmin.com/cgi-bin/newsspam2 show the top 3 @Home spam hosts to deliver approximately 400Mb/day of spam onto usenet (at least for 1/12/2000).
Some information on how to get a basic system up and running is available as part of a Sydney Linux Users Group (SLUG) presentation at http://www.slug.org.au/diskless.html.
I have used this as the basis for setting up an X terminal booting off a server for both x86 Linux and sparc Linux. Took a bit of messing about, but fairly easy to do.
At the risk of drawing some heat, the whole diskless X client thing may be an interesting option to look into with StarOffice...

I agree, strikes me as shameless self-promotion in a target-rich environment... Downloading as I type this...
No role whatsoever; let law enforcement agencies handle criminal investigations.
Is anyone here really comfortable with Amazon in the role of policeman? Hmm?
It's really reads "All your base are belong to U.S.".

They are mostly aspartame based glass these days, I think.

Is this a joke?

According to the gpl, they appear to have two choices:
...or not licensed at all"
"any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use...
So if these mods are in the kernel they will either need to licence the code to everyone, or stop distributing SELinux.
Thank you. This is the funniest thing I have read on slashdot for a while.
