Most rpms built for RedHat 7.3 - 9 should work without a problem in FC1 and FC2. With Linux, you can easily build binarys that will only work on one version of one distro, it takes a little more work to make it generic.
they've been using 2.0 with php since Sept. 30th 2002. They're pretty smart guys, real nice to. I trust em, So I've been using PHP with Apache2, no problems yet...
The problem is not that the script is getting executed in your browser but that it is a script from an email getting sent and executed by your browser. Most mail clients by default have scripting disabled because a malicious email can do some nasty things like steal your address book or confirm your email account is active to a spammer. It's the Webmail server's job to prevent scripts from being executed, not the browsers.
According to the details I've seen on the exploit, it's not just Hotmail and Yahoo that are vulnerable but most webmail interfaces. Has anyone tested this against Horde and SquirrelMail?
According to the Novell newsgroups I occcassionaly browse Novell is already working on porting their NSS filesystem to Linux. That will give them Netware's excellent file access rights system under Linux. What's not clear is whether the NSS driver will be open source or not. My guess is no, they've got to hold on to some stuff to stay competitive against RedHat.
iFolder is a major gift to the Linux community and is an excellent sign to me that Novell is committed to Open Source Model not just the "we're on the Linux boat" fad. Until you've used iFolder and seen your files move from desktop to desktop with little to no effort on your part, you just can't understand. It's seamless, it's secure and it's reliable. I encourage all of you to give it a try! Thanks for a great product and thanks for believing in the OSS community Novell!
We're a small university and we've recently implemented this on our site for admissions purposes. It's a pretty good system, prospective students are impressed by being able to talk to a live person and ask their random questions. There's good and bad to this though, it takes training our staff to stay online and actually respond, but Groopz has some cool features like being able to "push" a web page to someone, they ask about the soccer team, the counselor pushes a button and our stats from last year popup in the user's browser.
To be honest though, I'm quite frustrated with the server software. We've been using their ASP (App Service Provider) option for a year now but are looking at moving it onto our own server behind our T1. I've found setting up the server to be a pain in the neck. Poor documentation is worse than no documentation I now realize. I admit that it's my first time setting up a Java Servlet but I've got a few years of admistrating a number of PHP apps under my belt and I've been using Linux since 1.2.13 was the latest stable release. Great concept, decent implementation but the product needs some stability and reworking of the documentation/support
Only if your blind and need the Large Icons and Large Text. I use Mozilla Firebird/fox with small icons and limited text. My Navigation bar isn't more than 15 pixels in height.
I don't know what Internet you browse but most of the sites I browse have pages longer than the height of even a 19" monitor at 1600x1200 (and no, I don't have a 19" at 16x12), it's very simple. More space for the web page = less scrolling.
Not unless *they pay me* for that screen real estate. And to clarify my comment about it being the fastest browser, I said "even if it is" which I have found to not be the case...
Why would anyone pay for a browser when there are perfectly good (better in my opinion) browsers out there? I'm talking about This one, this one, and this one not this one. Mozilla rocks!!! Seriously someone give me a good reason to pay $30 for a browser, even if it is "the fastest browser on earth, that's not worth $30 to me...
Yeah, I know I'm always saying that, I need to start taking out patents instead of letting other people steal my idea. Anyway there's a few issues here:
1. The "knock" ports need to be open all the way to the server. This means that you'll have to punch holes in your main firewall or else not use 1 main firewall but instead indiv. firewalls per server which tends to be less managable/less secure
2. There's no real set way of implementing this yet. Try telling your users to first run telnet 1023, then telnet 1059, then telnet 1236 then actually ssh into the real port. Course if your this paranoid it's probably an ultra secure box anyway.
It'd be awesome to see this implemented and allow for easy "keying" of the ports, so I can choose any number combo I prefer. Of course it should then also make sure the ssh connection is coming from the same IP that knocked. And it might take a while but a sniffer would crack the combo...
