OK, maybe I should have put - without nasty reverse portmappings. You know what I meant. Portmappings can only work when there is only 1 host behind the NAT device that needs to use it.
SIP is still going to be another one of those annoying-doesn't-go-through-NAT protocols, like FTP, H323, etc.
My prefered solutions to this?
Get rid of NAT (Hurrah!) - everyone uses IPv6. (Please people, start enabling 6 over 4, get a tunnel, start using it. Postfix, BIND, Apache, ProFTPD, SSH, IPTables all support it.)
Someone writes a kernel/iptables handler for SIP a la ip_nat_ftp.o (I know not everyone uses IPTables for their firewalls - maybe a really small percentage do, but if we could say, "Oh, but Linux/IPTables supports it"....)
We all use ALGs on our firewalls. (I won't anyway - yuk.)
A browser that kills your machine every hour? I suppose it will be all the kernel level drivers that Mozilla installs that cause that. Oh wait, it doesn't have any. Mr Senior IT Manager for a Corporate, you should know that a userland app should never be able to take down an OS, Windows or not. And you'd know that more often than not, XP is configured not to display a blue screen, but just to reboot. My advice? Check that it is configured to stop on a crash. Apply all the patches. Disable services you don't need. Use Firefox again, and see if it crashes the OS. If it does, make a note of the info on the blue screen, and Google for it. Try swapping the memory/cpu with another similar machine.
But don't go blaming Firefox for crashing your machine.
Indeed. Left and right? Why not local and remote? Why didn't it support multiple subnets? I think it needs to be redesigned, with the config in mind. I couldn't care less about OE either - but I do want tunnels that I want setup to work, and work well.

No, cos that's a good thing. We all like our elderly relatives to feel protected, and pushing and shoving (even while malfunctioning) them around will do this.
The odd dupe is OK, for me at least. I never saw this story the first time round. Some people don't sit and read every single story on Slashdot, all the time, ever, you know. I might have been (gasp) out, or on holiday.
IMHO, the most useful manpages are the ones with examples of all the likely stuff you'll want to do. Humans learn by example.
And, underneath the helpful examples should be the rest of the stuff that you might need to adapt the examples to do stuff that's infrequently used. The GNU utilities don't ever seem to have examples in them though. <flame>And what's with info? Brr. KISS</flame>.
I'm generally "Interesting," "Insightful," and even "Funny" here. What the hell happens to me at parties?
It must be that there are people on this site that find what you say "Interesting," "Insightful," and even "Funny"
But please don't tell me you go a party, sidle up to a nice girl with a drink in your hand, and use this as your opening gambit:
"Here's some wild speculation: Longhorn development is running into problems that are further delaying development, so Microsoft is responding with a stopgap operating system. Maybe they should call it OS9 instead of Reloaded. What do you think, babe?"
I thought that the GRSec patches included in the gentoo-sources were pretty much all I'd need, especially as they came with lots of goodies to prevent exploits working too.
Do I have to learn a whole new thing now:(
I have no idea who LostCluster is, but what was Even though you consider yourself a knowledgable person (which btw I highly doubt) all about? Pointless troll.
Cool, I'll just send the proof to you on orkut.com. What's your username there?
Hah! I'm not falling for that old social engineering trick! I suppose you work in IT, and have restored my home area, and need my password too to check that all my files are still there?
"Right now 3D graphics drivers for ATi and NVIDIA cards are the only sticking point in hardware support IMO. Just about every other major component has Linux support, if you do careful research before buying."
At home, I don't have a 3d GFX card. At work I tried the NVidia drivers, and I got strange lockups, and display corruption. So although I'd love to go out and buy a nice spanky 3D card, I'm certainly not doing it unless there are open source drivers for it. It's not an anti-closed source stance I'm taking - although I really really hate to use something that the source isn't available for - it's just a stability issue. When a computer crashes, it's really annoying. (I wish the would stop changing the power supply at work too - I haven't got over 100 days uptime recently:( )
Wo w - now modules come with a little icon built into the module? All this gui stuff is going way too far:)<br> Don't they know about < on that site anyway?

Feel sorry for the residents of this town then. It just kind of stands out at you, doesn't it.

"I did not purchase anything from you. My purchases are with RedHat. Please sue them, not me".
And what if you didn't purchase anyone from anything?

Heh - I wondered where all the traffic had come from!

How do you know that he/she isn't "Bascule"?
Hmmm - for a second there, I thought you linked to a file in the source code :)
Who says that UK food isn't good? We have excellent pizzas, curries, chinese, and kebabs.
Actually, 3 of the top 20 restaurants in the world are in the UK.
Why is devfs deprecated exactly? Seems to work fine on all the Gentoo workstations and servers I have here.
Yeah, you're right. Maybe I should learn SOS too. A few nights in with a book studying it hard, and I reckon I should be able to grapple with it.
Hah! I'm not falling for that old social engineering trick! I suppose you work in IT, and have restored my home area, and need my password too to check that all my files are still there?
Yes. I can only tell it to you if you can prove you're a member though.
Sure, for a few dollars, it might let you feel it up
Google is like a virgin?
Man, you're weird.
To answer one of your questions:
Does anyone know?
I would imagine someone does, yes.
