If you don't have a lot on you network why are you using class "a" private addresses? Use class "c" instead. Why isn't the dummy device running? Routing can be fucked up in many ways. If this machine has a dialup connection you shouldn't have a default gateway set. If it provides internet connectivity for the rest of you lan you should set portal.penguin.net as the default gateway on the client machines. FWIW I use SuSE 6.0 at home and it kicks ass. I suspect 6.1's reported problems are kernel 2.2 related. I'm looking fwd to 6.2
Yeah but the SuSE online database is an option, it is not required. It is designed to be used as a documentation server on a LAN. Not the primary help system on a host.
Trojan horse programs concealed inside open source code could create new security headaches for IT managers. One such program released last week, BackOrifice 2000...
BO2k isn't concealed inside another program..
When virus writers moved to an open source model in 1996, there was an explosion in macro viruses,...
Ah yes, I remember the good old days of proprietary virii...NOT. The explosion in macro virii wouldn't have anything to do with a program that could _host_ them now, would it? Like, I don't know, maybe MS Office? No mention of how much easier it is to construct a macro virus as opposed to a real virus done in, say, x86 assembler.
Organizations "absolutely should be putting security measures in place if they use NT to a great degree" to thwart BO2K-specific attacks, said Drew Williams, director of Axent Technologies' SWAT Team.
Hmm, not quite sure what to say about this one... Are they saying: A)You don't need security if you don't use NT B)You shouldn't use NT (I'll buy that) C)If you only have one NT box you don't have to worry D)Win9x, 3.1 aren't vulnerable
Internet Security Systems researchers have already decoded BO2K protocols and encryption algorithms.
Nice trick...somebody must have sent them the source code in an encrypted email, yeah, thats the ticket...
Jason Garms, product manager for NT security at Microsoft, said the company will fix any known security vulnerabilities in its operating systems. "There's nothing wrong with [Microsoft] systems until Back Orifice is installed.
Oh my.... Somebody should start a 12 step group for folks like this I detect some serious denial problems here. How much are these fixes going to cost? When can we expect delivery? Thats what I thought...
Users on NT networks that exchange files and use Internet chat systems are at the highest risk....
So..don't use your network to transfer files..just look at the pretty lights....
The elite hacker group is banking on tools such as BO2K to eventually force Microsoft to correct security weaknesses in its operating systems. Security experts don't see the logic. "They didn't have to write code and release it to the public," said ICSA's Thompson.
The bastards, how _dare_ they try to push around Micros~1! Who's the real victim here? Micros~1 or the "Security Experts" who have to get off their well padded rear ends and do some work now? Oh wait, I guess security expert is a synonym for pundit now.
Once the program is released, Axent's Williams expects an "immediate spike" in hacking activity on NT systems, but expects it to trickle down to some level of manageability.
The program is already released, Sparky... I expect this is true if we use hacking in the proper sense as in "Micros~1 programmers fixing things up a bit".. Though I expect if you replace "hack" with "kludge" it'd be a little more accurate
Now _this_ is the kind of story I expect to see on/... Just like backinaday;P
IMHO there are two primary reasons why AOL is so widely used. First is because it's simple.
How does extraneous crap like 42 million pop up ads and an equal number of splash screens before you get where you are going == simplicity? Try A) preloaded on new PC's B) marketing machine

You partition the second drive to have a 128 meg swap partition and point the kernel at it in/etc/fstab. Your primary drive on on the first IDE channel would be hda (or sda for the first scsi device) your old drive would be hdb (if its the slave on the first ide chan). Lets say you have 64 megs o' swap on the second partition of hda yer/etc/fstab will have an entry /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 like so. If yer second drive has a 128meg swap on partition 2 youd change/etc/fstab entry to look like /dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0 You could also just add an entry for the second swap partition then do #swapoff #swapon and that would give you 64+128=192meg
In the case of "standard" vs/metric its lazyness not arrogance on the part of the US citizenry. I think the French are more steamed about minitel vs the internet and this is just one way of acting out their frustration.
that Young needed to point out that theres no Micros~1 technology in RedHat. I'm sure that will be a shocker to some people.... I also found the part about the place that has 100 boxes deployed without a service contract interesting. This is what happens when you have competent IS staff, I guess.
This was a surprise to me, but I don't really think about this kind of stuff. It's nice to see that the comments on this are > 97% positive. It's also great to see that making money isn't what its all about for Rob, et al.
Sorry bro, but if you treat people like morons they behave like morons. I'd like to point out that my C average student, 10 y.o., former Mac user nephew, who's always looking for an excuse to get someone to wipe his bottom for him, uses the Linux box (with KDE) we put together. I haven't had to talk him through anything since the day after we first fired it up. On the other side of the coin... One of my clients constantly has to walk his users through simple procedures such as copying files to the server in a 98/NT environment. They get intimidated because if they get a BSOD while doing something they think they screwed up

Try, make the whole world a graffiti wall and no one will use it. I agree with your meaning, just pointing out the flaw in your analogy.

Linux rhymes with "cynics"?
Personally, I find that to be almost as inflammatory as "Open Sores".
