CVS stays very much relevant to whole BSD community (not only OpenBSD). It's because of the tradition, sure - and rather faint convicting force of some other version control system...
People keep repeating that NFS security is a joke.
To deploy NFS in your network you would take advantage of you NIS deployment in the first place. Back then. Now, you would start from ldap and/or kerberos. That's it - on the security subject;-)
Seems it is only popular here in Central Europe, western countries shops have got much less of it in their offer. Perhaps except of France but there yoghurt is a form of dessert rather then something to eat.
I'm addicted to having a large bottle of a yoghurt-drink for my breakfast. Astonishingly being a drink it's still something to eat for me. Delicious apple-mint taste... It's energetic enough to get me going in the morning.
And italian-style coffee of course, but that's another story
To know shell is to know unix to much degree. Comments like 'you can similar things in python' are simply ridiculous. I say this being python user myself.
Lots of people try to somehow escape or flee from what unix really is and the article commented is highly recommended to all of them. You cannot find anything useful in shell history unless there actually is something;-)
Other valuable UNIX 'kung fu' resources are obviously books. Like the old 'Unix shell programming' by Ted Burns or famous 'Unix power tools'. And of course - man pages. For example for bash...
It's actually sad how many people in here find the AD based solution to be either "the best possible deal" or neglect the whole idea completely (based on a notion it is "a MS thing").
At some point LDAP on Unices had potential to sweep AD black boxes out of the market but unfortunately Microsoft was quicker. And now people can be proud of being able to hook up sambas and perhaps linux boxes to AD.
It is like a hidden secret that the basic deployment could be made in an other way: hooking up Windows machines to Unix LDAP. It is much more secure and manageable. But also too cumbersome for most people.
Interesting things happen in this area (like Fedora Directory Server or Sun OpenDS). Deployments of these type are however much more prevalent in large java-based web apps environments - not in company wide identity soulutions.
Like it was pointed out in here other frameworks are older and more advanced then RoR.
Still RoR managed to break the mindset barrier of a typical US java programmer - and the sheer amount of people with such profile is so overwhelming that, in the end of the day, that's all that counts.
Folks ignored everything beyond J2EE for a long time. Think Zope history for example. RoR happened at the moment java burden factor just reached some kind of a critical mass point.
The enthusiasm for RoR specifically surely is due to good marketing but I suspect typical American Japan-envy factor was as important.
I'm just a sys admin from a Eurpoean country but I seriously believe SOX has got very positive impact on IT and it just started too be felt.
Identity management, that's what it is. How many times we struggled with heaps of "well known accounts" with no logging whatsoever ? Oracle, unixes, brain dead windows deployments... All of them with "impossible no track users activity" requirements.
Now it can be seen ldap, rbac, database auditing technologies start to have a their warrant place in most of offers. Just look what Oracle, Sun, IBM are marketing to you. That's good.
It's still a long way to go for most companies, specially outside US I guess. Bit I still, I like the trend;-)
As I observe business model changes around the OSS I come to think perfectly this type "harsh" attitude is actually beneficial, to say the least.
The "professional", "corporate" attitude that forces us to be polite to most stupid people for sake of being reasonable and make things "just work"(TM) leads to bazilions of new type, mixed corporate/OSS admins who are afraid of recompiling the kernel because Oracle says no.
Linux looses its edge. In fact, taking this kernel compiling example, it actually fails behind other unixes in terms of usability, scalability, stability...
"Reasonable"/"polite" attitude might be the main factor
Slashdot Mirror
linux open source drivers for Broadcom chipsets also stink
perhaps because Broadcom policy stinks ?
OBSD team is like the last warrior, sometimes for way too much
but most drivers actually benefit a lot because of OBSD release process ...
and sometimes linux pragmatic way of doing you is just to be laughed at
I won't address your later comments - they're seem to be much too personal ;-)

He's just an old fart.
He's been not getting it for many years now.
All he can do is to make the retirement time fun.
Just one April Fools story should be enough.
We come here for content, you know ?
http://www.zope.org/ - both WLS and hibernate made obsolete decade ago ;-)
that "both" - unfortunetaly the case when too much is too much
Sadly, suspend does *NOT* work on acpi-only
thinkpad machines. There's a stub in source code but it's disabled.
Your point is moot.
OpenBSD is the simplest "distribution"
to update.

... is not vulnerable ;-)
Cheers
I find all this rather unsuprising.
...
;-)
Quality of some debian packages is really, really low - obviously fanatical adherence to the "bazaar" development model does not
always pay off
What's annoying is sheer arogance of lame folks.
C'mon people. This is unix - not windows
> You can go back where you came from
Hell, you mean ?
There's no secure shell available because windows has no shell.
;-)
;-)
No, Power Shell does not count
Windows is not made according to the unix "onion" model.
Check it out with Cygwin developers.
Oh, for ssh I can recommend Cygwin

Just look at the way CVSup http://www.cvsup.org/ is used.
These people just need a CVS software they would like to maintain for some time in the future.
Today they changed the status of the 259718 bug - see bugzilla.novell.com. ;-)
If you're not an employee you won't have access
You miss the point.
;-)
You wouldn't let people plug their laptops to the NFS-shared subnet.
You would use CIFS for that. That's why people keep saying "CIFS is better"
NFS and the whole unix RPC model is for controlled environment only.
People keep repeating that NFS security is a joke.
;-)
To deploy NFS in your network you would take advantage of you NIS deployment in the first place.
Back then.
Now, you would start from ldap and/or kerberos.
That's it - on the security subject
Interesting nobody mentioned yoghurt.

Astonishingly being a drink it's still something to eat for me. Delicious

AD won.
The point is: PHP does not support content/logic separation ;-)

Man, what you're smoking ...
I cannot see slightest chance gcj would replace sun/bea jrockit jdks in big companies.
Managers would simply sack you for such ideas.
