    Disnix. It takes the best from Yellow Dog (Old Yeller), Tux gets mouse ears, and the man pages have been dumbed-down and are narrated by Roger Rabbit.

  11. Security Schmurity on Linux Security Cookbook · · Score: 4, Funny

    All you need to do is disable telnet in inetd, right?

    If they can't log in, you're fine.... Matthew Broderick would have never been asked to "play a Game" if they'd just locked down telnet.

  12. Re-claim unused address space on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's probably been mentioned, but what about companies that have a single or multiple CLass "A"s that could just NAT? I was at a Ford dealership recently and noticed that they had a printer on a public address. Now it was probably NAT'd behind a router, but 5h1t! NAT an RFC 1918 address, not a public one!

  13. Re:Oh Puleeeze! on The Impending IP Crisis · · Score: 1

    What about the 169.254/16 that Uncle Bill uses for people that can't config their own IP's (dummy net)\

  14. Research? on Digging Holes in Google · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We tend to forget that:
    1. Just because it's not found on the Internet, does not mean that it doesn't exist.
    2. Just because it's found on the Internet, does not necessarily make it true.

  20. Re:The ACL "fix" is not a fix on Major Flaw Found In Cisco IOS Devices · · Score: 1

    Or is it safe to say that you can block all traffic *to* the device, but allow forwarding IAW your standard set of acls?

  22. Forget the Terroists on Microsoft Wins Homeland Security Contract · · Score: 1

    It's not the Osamas or the Al Qaeda operatives that are the concern here. I think the real threat to DOHS's security infrastructure are the numerous folks out there within the good ol' US of A, that aren't necessarily in support of what they might consider the prelude to a police state, i.e., the DOHS. I would suspect that that latter catagory boasts a large cadre of 1337 skillsets.

  24. Re:Bach humbug! on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    Yes, Bach composed from a different realm that most of us will never know. But is creative genius affected here or a more digit-headed cerebral genius? Right brain vs. left brain kinda stuff.
