  1. not here yet :) on Nimda To Strike Again · · Score: 2

    See up to date MRTG statistics Nimda-Log

  2. use those 3ware controllers on Creating Large, Safe, and Cheap Network Attached Servers? · · Score: 2

    I've build a box just for that requirement a few months ago using a 3ware IDE controller, 4x100gb drives in raid 5 mode and linux :) gives a nice 300 gb of space.

    I think the overall costs were around 2000 Euro ..
    (controller, drive bays, BIG case, etc ..)

  3. Live MRTG statistics of Nimda :) on New (More) Annoying Microsoft Worm Hits Net · · Score: 2

    of our server in germany, 213.x ip ;)

  4. Re:Here's my post to NANOG on New (More) Annoying Microsoft Worm Hits Net · · Score: 2

    An better idea would be to put the hosts into some sort of logging (mysql, etc), then run a shell script every 5 minutes or so that blocks those hosts

  5. password backends .. on Administration on Systems w/ Lots of Users? · · Score: 2

    Normally if u reach a big number of users (100 is not that big ;) u want to think about different password backends, as plain text does not scale very well :)

    I would recommend looking into LDAP and various PAM modules ..
    (there even exist some MySQL modules for authentication)

  6. adjustable height on Building a DIY Home Office? · · Score: 2

    thats not that big problem, I did build my desk with 4 adjustable legs, works very well. The leges were are around 50 Euro, and you have about 10 cm range for adjustment.

  7. does not matter ;) on Black Hole at Center of Milky Way · · Score: 1

    Bah ... just launch 40 nova bombs into it and we are save again ;)

  8. Re:Linux World Domination Report: 8/2001 on Linux 10th Anniversary Celebration Report · · Score: 2

    > In other news, something important happened.

    Yeah .. like Intel showing a P4 running at 3.5 Ghz at the IDF :)

  9. vi - was: Re:look out people who use ISV answers on Best "Visual Studio" Alternative On Linux · · Score: 2

    Please someone enlighten me on vi .. for me its the most disturbing edtior i ever meet .. for example the 2 edit modes .. way too confusing. why can't i move curser around ? why del key is not working, etc ?

    I'm not flaming .. i want a honest answer. I did grew up with wordstar compatible editors (TurboPascal 3 on CP/M .. call me oldtimer ;),
    so my favorite editor is joe now ...

  10. Re:What about drivers? on AtheOS 0.3.5 Released · · Score: 2

    it works very well under vmware, even at high resolution :)

  11. Re:There really was a shortage of *good* people on No Shortage Of Programmers? · · Score: 2

    I can only second this. We were also looking for some good php/sql coders, but its incredible hard to find !

    I got also numerous offers from folks that did know how to write "select * from foobar" and think they are sql experts.. (the funny thing is that those ppl did demand the highest salarys ;)

    But in the end .. it comes to check the folks with the highest potential, and train them. When you see the quality of the so called "business schools" where they teach programming here, you would fall from your chair .. :)

    Most of those business schools teach about 1 topic per week here, thats 1 week db admin, 1 week java, 1 week php, and so on. total bullshit.

  12. Re:Headcasting not as important as true Dual-Displ on Talking with Matrox · · Score: 4

    you should download the latest win2k drivers ;)

    g400 dual head working as 2 cards flawless here under 2k .. it took some time, but its worth ! :)

  13. Re:Let's see... /var/log/apache on Code Red Worm Spreading, Set To Flood Whitehouse · · Score: 2

    lets do a quick grep in the logs ;)

    # grep default.ida * | wc -l

    woops .. ;)

  14. Re:I want a phone that plugs into an ethernet jack on IP Telephony Hardware Stretching Toward Home Users · · Score: 2

    there are plenty of phones with ethernet jacks, we are using some siemens ones in our company, they are standard h323 phones, with DHCP and configurable by a webbroswser ;) really cute

  15. Re:Linux is... on What Actually Makes Up "Linux"? · · Score: 2

    u r doing something wrong then .. show them ur cute little penguin toy (tux anyone ?) for example .. women seem to love tux !

  16. Re:start with postfix/cyrus on Searching for a Solaris Mail Server? · · Score: 2

    I can only second this ! cyrus should be your choice when it comes to high user/mail count. Also it can be seperated from normal system autorisation, thanks to SASL.

  17. works with samba 2.2 acl's ? on XFS 1.0 is Released · · Score: 2

    There are some known problems with earlier version of xfs (did try Test-1 myself, and it did not work :)

    so did anyone try it yet ? does it work ?

  18. Re:Typical game play on Akira Game for PS2? · · Score: 2

    good summary, expect that the first blow up was old tokyo :)

  19. Re:Late and Never on Vovida's VOCAL Softswitch Freed · · Score: 2

    we use some VoIP on our 100 mbit switched lan, and we have MASSIVE problems with it.

    One big problem is echo. The pbx will allready do software based echo cancellation for calls on normal calls, but you still hear it.

    The reason for it is, that normal soundcards (sb live) + headseds still seem to suck. We are now trying usb phones, that should work better in theory ..

    but right now .. it don't think that voip will render normal systems useless ..

  20. mon on Web Site Monitoring Services? · · Score: 2

    How about mon ? its a great and flexible tool. you can set up to monitor web sites (witht their http client), and send alarms in various ways..

    look at http://www.kernel.org/software/mon/

  21. Re:Multicast != streaming media on Experimenting w/ High Performance Computing and Multicasting? · · Score: 2

    Uh .. there IS reliable multicast. There are quite some different approaches to it.

    One would be to to cache some of the data in the routers (or on computers near the routers), which can be retransmitted if someone down the leaf sends NACK's ...

    STFW .. you'll find some !

  22. Re:Classic example of SMPA on Photorealistic, Reliable 3D Mapping For Robots · · Score: 2

    actually I think the newer robots use both sides.

    Brooks never managed to get his beaviour based approach to higher levels than simply evading objects. If you read his (older) papers, you can understand why :)

    So .. I think they use beaviour based functions for the low-level functions (evading objects, etc), and SMPA for the higher levels, like map building, navigation, reaching a goal, etc.

  23. Re:Don't bother on Whatever Happened To The Thin X11 Terminals? · · Score: 2

    I'll second this. Go look out for some small x86 based computer, there are quite alot book-sized ones. stick a ttf monitor to it, put out the hardrive (for noise), and boot it over network (there was a nice article here about the terminal server for schools here ..)

  24. Re:Drive lettering on Cluster Harddrive Using Firewire? · · Score: 2

    in NT (4.0 or 2000) you can directly assign letters to hard drives with the hard disk manager. I don't known if win9*/ME does honor these flags.

  25. Re:Sounds like politics as usual in big business.. on Mexico City Adopting Linux; Software Rent Savings Go to Fight Poverty · · Score: 2

    so .. do you REALLY think its going to stop them just becuase its forbidden ???

    Here it's also forbidden, but it happens all the time, and everyone knows it.
