  1. Re:Slashdot is probably the wrong place to ask on Enterprise vs. Open Source Portals? · · Score: 1

    Yeah and also all the comments that say there are other things beyond J2EE ...

  2. Re:Zope on Enterprise vs. Open Source Portals? · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but comparing Horde to Zope is ridiculous.

    The most powerfull thing about Zope is the TTW capabilities and filesystem independence. By the way that's why it's particularly suitable for portal and weblog type tasks.

    But it's true that is requires some serious Python and OO fluency, specially when it comes to site-specific needs.

  3. Already known for some time ... on MSS Initiative Makes Progress · · Score: 4, Informative

    Just noticed this in the netfilter section of linux config file:

    CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TCPMSS
    [snip]

    This is used to overcome criminally braindead ISPs or servers which block ICMP Fragmentation Needed packets. The symptoms of this problem are that everything works fine from your Linux firewall/router, but machines behind it can never exchange large packets:
    1) Web browsers connect, then hang with no data received.
    2) Small mail works fine, but large emails hang.
    3) ssh works fine, but scp hangs after initial handshaking.

    Don't know about you but myself I can't remember actually using this nf option...
    Maybe the reason is I always let the ICMP packets go ;-)

    Any thoughts about those other dangers of blocking ICMP3,4 ?
