  1. Re:The SSH root password was god on Novell OpenSUSE Server Hacked · · Score: 1

    My passes are at least 20 chars long

    passwd

    [beer@localhost ~]$ passwd

    Changing password for beer
    (current) UNIX password:
    New UNIX password:
    BAD PASSWORD: it's WAY too short
    New UNIX password:
    BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
    New UNIX password:
    Retype new UNIX password:

    Don't you just love the new passwd updates???

    This is just a silly example, but root passes should be EXTREMELY long.

  2. The SSH root password was god on Novell OpenSUSE Server Hacked · · Score: 2, Informative

    let me guess, iptables not enabled, no firewall service up, no bfd, SSH was up unfiltered and the root pass was a 3 letter word like god, to quote the movie "hackers" with angelina jolie. Hack the gibson. Hack the planet. Go Iran. Just kidding.

    Alot of people are reluctant to use a firewall, even though you can easily do it with SuSE and YaST2.

    I have the pay version of SuSE9.3 Pro, which is well worth the $99 price tag.
    I mostly run fedora core boxes though, and this is a really good alternative to other iptables interfaces.

    Get yourself those, make sure non of your dir's are 777, have strong 20+ char long passwords, don't RPM fetch from shady repositories, and you're on your way!

  4. it's cheaper than 500 MIL to Claria on MSN Launches Pay-Per-Click Search Ads · · Score: 1

    Hey, it could have been worse, the claria deal could have went through, and they could have gotten their spydata that way and unclassified claria from their antispyware app.

    What am I saying, what do I care, I don't use windows. ClamAV can handle the sendmail.

  6. Don't use it, don't need it, don't want it on Windows Vista & IE7 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    I have 3 linux installations including FC4, SuSE93 and MDK2005LE,

    why the hell should I beta Windows Vista?

    If I want little desktop effects, I'll turn on X compositing with gcompmgr and use gDesklets.

  7. Re:Mozilla Suite is Dead! - It's ok, get the facts on Mozilla Foundation's Future: No Mozilla Suite 1.8 · · Score: 1

    I like Firefox anyway, but it doesn't load certain sites well, so I still use Mozilla.

    http://www.cnet.com/4520-6033_1-5666404-1.html?tag =nl.e497

    CNet editors seem to think IE7's going to kill firefox, though they present no facts at all or features for IE7, notice how CNet won't so much as let you submit a linux application.

    Maybe they need to .... get the facts

  8. Re:Martin Taylor IS A HN on Microsoft's Martin Taylor Responds · · Score: 1

    aren't most people that work there the same way? They all say they love microsoft, but I'm sure they don't like it half as much as they say they do to keep their cushy jobs.

  9. I would say years ago we did not fully understand. on Microsoft's Martin Taylor Responds · · Score: 1

    "I would say years ago we did not fully understand. I'm speaking aggregately as a company - did not fully understand Linux and open source and so whatever you're dealing with something that is a bit of unknown, I think it's natural to have somewhat of an emotional reaction to that. And also if things didn't quite make sense to you, when you thought people might be acting somewhat irrational, then again it led to somewhat of an emotional response in some ways."
