It looks like KHTML, the Kicker, and the PIM suite (plus Kopete) got the big additions.
Until now, KMail could not filter on IMAP accounts, it seems. Hope that the following does not imply that the IMAP server must support Sieve :
Redesign filters to use Sieve internally. Allow editing of Sieve scripts on IMAP servers to get rid of the bug reports a la "KMail doesn't support IMAP folders for filtering" Marc Mutz
*Yes yes, shell != window manager, etc etc. You know what I mean.:)
Don't count on it.
Many "geeks" don't know the difference between firmware and drivers. Just have a look on the Slashdot stories on OpenBSD activism to get wireless chipset makers to have a free disitribution of binary firmware.
Dovecot is a fast POP3/IMAP server that supports Postgresql.
Greylisting is a very powerful spam reduction technique (with no false positives). This can be done at the firewall, and will consume little resources. It will stop much of the e-mails sendt by viruses that has it's own SMTP engine. Your other spam filtering daemons will have less work to do.
OpenBSD has a daemon
spamd that can do greylisting. Just put an OpenBSD box in front of your mailserver, and you can test it out for yourself.
There are more BSD than Linux boxes..

Yep, this must come as a terrible blow to the "BSD is dead" crowd;-)
More proof that BSD are a lively corpse : "By the way, some time ago I heard an advocacy speech by Murray Stokely who said something amazing that I think we should write everywhere. If you take Linux as a unique movement, then it is bigger than FreeBSD, but if you take each distribution (per Netcraft's Linux OS detection statistics), then FreeBSD has more users than Red Hat. Did you know that?"
One man's bloat is another ones needed features:-)
A commercial Linux distribution tends to install more programs and libraries by default than *BSD. On a *BSD it's more common to actually add the different applications you want from the ports system.
Moving to X.org because of licensing isn't a good reason.
It's a _very_ good reason if you don't accept the new license. As it is, NetBSD accepted the new XFree86 license. OpenBSD did not, and has recently imported X.org into -current.
Combining the weaknesses of five different package managers will surely alleviate "dependency hell."
I'll be over here, playing nethack on my NetBSD box and giggling.
I can understand the giggling, in particular since the NetBSD
packages system is portable and actually works.
For those of us who can't read the code: how does this new feature work? How is it able to completely function behind a firewall?
By using non-blocked ports, like port 80 (http). To circumvent application level proxies, the p2p program can make it's own communication look like like common html traffic. This is common with p2p programs, and part of why it's so hard to block that shit.
It's time to stop 'creativity' shown in difference of names and paths between all the distros.
Besides that, maybe standarisation can help Linux become considered as one of Unix systems.
Yes, it is very annoying that a (commercial) Linux distribution typically has a very messy filesystem layout.
In this the OpenBSD (and the other *BSD as well) does much better. When you install a port, you know where it is installed. The
man hier is actually followed and useful. Packages/ports installs to/usr/local, with perphaps some config files added to/etc or some working directory added to/var. That's it. No exceptions.
1 school district in TX != everyone.
I agree that it's a bad idea, but hyperbole like that only makes you look foolish.
Of course I'm aware that this is just one school district in Texas. However, this monitoring crops up just about everywhere in USA, and appears not to meet much opposition. Just witness the speed of the introduction of the PATRIOT act. As if the powers given by the PATRIOT act was not enough, they even have a draft of PATRIOT II. I'm sure you can find some other examples.
Upon being scanned, the data are transmitted to both the school administrators, as well as city police.
The official USA propaganda is that the rest of the world envy USA because of it's freedom. Well, I don't envy the freedom US authorities has to continously monitoring anyone for no reason at all.
US citizens like you scares me (as an otherwise USA friendly European ally). You scare most of the world as well with your blatant ignorance due to US corporate media. Yeah, likes of of you are very scary.
I don't wonder why, I know why: they want what we have.
You are downright scary in your ignorance. They want to be left alone, including when they democratically elect a democratic government.
Please don't put USA as a good example of how to conduct fair elections: When stuff like election fraud hits Slashdot frontpage it's pretty serious....
So, why should the Indians be treated any different? Just because they were so weak militarily and behind the times in military technology doesn't mean they deserve protection from the rest of the world. They simply get what the rest of the world, or whoever conquers them, decides that they should get.
And US citizens wonder why so many want to kill you, at whatever cost to themselves...
Why contract with South Asians when you can contract with businesses run by good old American Indians? I'm sure somebody on the reservation could help you admin your Apache server.
Of course, after committing genocide and stealing their land I'm sure that low paid jobs are a fair compensation.
In october, the 3 topmost reliable sites were all FreeBSD (4th was either Net~ or Open~ and 8th was again FreeBSD).Read More
The number 4 (SecDog) is most likely running OpenBSD as can be seen from the
alliances page. The SecDog ISP has been named many times as the most reliable host by Netcraft, and now all their infrastructure servers has
moved to OpenBSD.
So, I know it's not foolproof, but does anyone have suggestions on how to increase wireless security?
My home firewall is an
OpenBSD box that is my access point as well.
I use IPSec
to setup VPN
to secure my wireless network.
Only authenticated IPSec traffic is permitted, so all a war driver can do is to DoS my wireless network.
If setting up IPSec is too much work, one can use
OpenVPN
that has a Windows client as well.
If you just want to prevent unauthorized usage of your wireless network, you can authenticate using
authpf.
All the soloutions above assumes that you uses OpenBSD as an access point. OpenBSD can now support Atheros wireless chipset (for 802.11a), and soon 802.11g will be supported as well :
Atheros HAL layer.
Java has one big advantage compared to C++, and that is memory mangement (like garbage collection). Memory management in C++ is error-prone and difficult to do correctly. Sure, smart pointers and containers are helpful tools, and there are good implementations in Boost and STL. Not quite the same, though.
but consider how hard it is to secure windows 2000 with a default install when connecting directly to the internet
Is this possible without invoking black magic? Windows 2000 might very well have some advanced features to harden it, but they are so inaccessible/hard to understand as to be useless.
He also believed that the Debian/Linux userspace was not any better or worse in any real sense over the OpenBSD userspace (the ports and packages systems on OpenBSD are not audited, for the most part).
"He" does not understand that in context of licenses, they are very far appart. OpenBSD have replaced several GPL licensed utilities with a free alternative. They still use alot of GPL (LGPL) like the tool chain from the gcc project, but the spirit is there. Just witness the fork of Apache 1.3 and XFree86, as well as making their own packet filter. Their OpenNTP work just fine as well:-)
but what are they going to DO for 500 days?? There would probably be no experiments to run in the mock capsule..
They proably will spend alot of time just to keep things running smoothly, besides their experiments. On a real Mars mission, the participants will be highly trained, and most (if not all) of them will have PhD. Boredom will be a serious issue, and so will the noise level.
Gosh, with all these delicious BSD releases about to happen, (nbsd 2.0, fbsd 5.3, dbsd 1.0) it makes it hard for a guy to decide which one to play with.
I need some more harddrives so i'll have a place to install them!
OpenBSD 3.6 is, as usual, to be released 1th of November. Better make an extra primary partition available for install:-)

I do the same, but I also run it systraced. You can use the policy posted in the BitTorrent security thread.
