"a couple of kids were using to view NASA documents"
So we WANT *nix to be portrayed as a OS that is used by crackers? (l33t hackers to all you NT people.) Why not just show them on hotmail.com with a VBS book in the background sending mail to microsoft...oh wait...nevermind.
I think they'll make you do it over and over again. Then i bet they reccommend getting Regclean and downloading the patches for your video card (so your modem with me fixed)
So the bus boycotts in the 60's were wrong since they were harming the profitability of the bus drivers? It isn't they're fault that civil rights didn't exist at the time. idiot
xevil runs fine on my Sparc Classic. Even with the CG3 built in framebuffer, 50mhz chip, and 24 megs of ram. Guess those ultra sparcs won't make it any faster.
sure, you're right. But having a head start doesn't help. Why give your users 10000 services to run by default? If they need to run them, then they should be able to turn them on
Just hack it once and install a script to update yi.org or dyndns.org or what not whenever the nslookup of the host is different than the current value. duh. thats what i used to reset ipnat on my openbsd box because my cable would drop in and out of signal threshold and i would lose my ip. But these other bot suggestions work too, but this would be easier. You could always have it send 3 ping packets to a certain host at a certain time and just monitor the ipf logs of the targeted host to determine the ip. Any of these ways defeat the stupid:
"security through obscurity"
hell, try to hax0r my box. now that i've gotten telocity i have a static ip, hax0r d00dz will try that shit and see that it's not gonna work. they will figure out that i don't have a redhat honey pot and they can move on to the next subnet. but like you said, dhcp didn't change too much with cable. but true security is a myth. you can only hope to reach farther than others in that great quest. apply those root exploit patches from 6 months ago and turn off BIND, apache, sendmail, samba and all that other stuff if you don't use it. There are many resources for securing linux and other OS's. they should offer that information to their windoze subscribers (the windoze info, not linux, since that wouldn't help windoze users too much would it):)
They are waiting for their prototype router/switch like linksys makes....then the'll say: "HOLY SHIT. YOU DON'T HAVE A FIREWALL?" then proceed to offer you amazing savings on their product with the "no brains, no problem" service. But, thats just my opinion. dhcp is safe? then why were there a few nice exploits for it recently. answer? to even out the playing field for the windoze kids that god Backorifice or Netbus when they got Diablo III beta or some crap off #kr4dw4r3z or some shit. hell i don't know. Time to drink more beer.
its safe as long as you don't get ops in #l33tw4r3zd00dz or get someone else's nickname. But hell, I've seen people have their hd's shared with full access without a password. I guess they figure someone can fix the bugs for them. Thats an idea, find a way to install a real OS on their computer when they are away. Then secure it. I should do that....then charge $19.99 a month afterwards....oh wait..then i-opener would sue me. Well shit, I'll just stick with OpenBSD.
im too lazy too look, but if they had automatic updates, that would really be cool. Well.......until someone cracked the update server. Now that would be some funny shit. I'll stick with OpenBSD 2.7 if RH doesn't mind =)
i looked at my site's logo for www.nothingkillsfaster.com
on one of the campus computers and you could only see the "nothing" but the other art is superb:)
So this is something i'll definetly follow up.
RTMX sells a version of OpenBSD which has a full complement of POSIX realtime features added to it. They have graciously donated the source code for these extentions, and the changes will be integrated into OpenBSD soon.
so that will soon be solved
it should be integrated by 2.8 (dec 2000)
Our BSD brother: This article is rather small and is really not very informative. I so find it rather strange that (if i hear right) NetBSD pioneered USB on the *nix systems, but there is no documentation for using these devices once they are detected and such. Even the linux printing website (http://www.linuxprinting.org) and the latest printing howto (on the page) doesn't have any documentation on USB printers. But the sysctl article and printer documentation are similar in that they both have information for those with very little knowledge and some advanced information for those with heavy experience. I wish documention would have a middle ground. Once you've mastered the basics, you have no where to really go. I know im ranting, but i'm sure some people would agree. If i ever get this USB printer to print, I'll be sure to document it. right now it just freezes my box when i try to use it.:(
oh yea, why didn't the page document the sysctl.conf and explain some of the options in it? Like mentioning machdep.allowaperture=1 is needed for X as well as other options inside. I can't even FIND documentation for what fs.posix.setuid=0 does. (im using OpenBSD btw)

does this mean Sonic is gonna be italian and become a blue collar worker like Mario? Crazy shit indeed.

they are supposed to be super elite computer guys. They MUST be using BSD. Probably Openbsd. Thats what i would guess.

They are only smart if they've just run 'defrag' too, else that would likely be the reason they DNS server isn't working.
Lets boycott MPAA...unless a geek movie comes out. It surprises how 'dedicated' /. people are

Caller (answer #1): I don't run windoze...i run
Tech: whoa...hold up champ. we dont' support that crazy 'leenuchs' stuff, thank you for calling _____ technical support...goodbye
Caller (answer #2): Hmm i'm not sure.
Tech: ok, (gives instructions to run a thorough scan disk) and call us back when you are done.
Caller: Can I have your extention so i can talk to you again?
Tech: Unfortunetly, I'll be off in 15 minutes.
thank you for calling _____ technical support. goodbye.

i was just gonna try to piss of the leenuchs kids. who knew that i would get moderated UP for such a simple post?
But what about the security. thats what we are talking about.

parents might think that kids might see inappropraite movie previews.
;)
good thing these kids are downloading the whole movie or this country would be in a big heap of moral trouble and crisis

the fact about them being millionaires due to the obscene IPO craze. They're martyrs all the way to bank ehh?

yup. i was right =)

wasn't there already a "PocketLinux" that was a single floppy distro? (hence the name...the floppy can fit in your pocket.)
