Microsoft podría propagar falsos rumores que indiquen que ellos no son los únicos infectados y nada más eficaz que hacer un virus que infecte o que simule infectar a otros sistemas. No afirmo nada pero en tehoría sería una salida muy buena para Microsoft. Los Unix no creo que corran ningún peligro pero el objetivo de desinformar estaría plenamente logrado. La única forma de contrarestar esa desinformación es decirles que te manden información más concreta o mejor aún que te manden el virus. Que no tienes ningún miedo de que te infecte. Que crees que son nubes de humo para ocultar la verdad. Quizas sea una temeridad pero yo todavía no se como un proceso de un usuario normalito puede hacer daño en un sistema Unix. Primero tendría que adquirir privilegios de root cosa que se puede lograr en algún caso aislado por un fallo en la seguridad, pero no conozco la llave maestra capaz de abrir todas las cuentas de root de todos los sistemas Unix. En mi opinión un virus de esas características necesitaría esa llave para poder hacer daño en sistemas Unix. Bueno todo esto tambien es una opinión.

Los empresarios necesitan herramientas de trabajo de todo tipo y entre ellas necesitan herramientas que no necesiten personal cualificado para ahorrar costes. Yo encuentro normal que ciertos tipos de datos requieran la ejecución de un programa para poderlos manejar. Lo que no encuentro normal es que el correo electrónico permita ejecutar código recibido por correo electrónico en forma de macros o de cualquier otra forma de código ejecutable. Yo creo que determinados tipos MIME son los que encierran un gran peligro. Cualquier intento de apertura de un documento que use macros o cosas semejantes debería venir precedido de un mensaje de advertencia. Existe otra cuestión importante. Algunos de esos mensajes se abren porque provienen de alguien conocido. Es el mecanismo de propagación del virus pero realmente el remitente no es consciente de haber mandado ese mensaje. Una solicitud de confirmación bastaría. Quizas para estos tipos MIME se podría implementar alguna forma de confirmación más o menos automática. Quizas los tipos MIME deberían ser ejecutados por un usuario distinto y específico para MIME. En cualquier caso se necesitaría algún tipo de tratamiento especial para tipos MIME potencialmente peligrosos porque la solución de no permitir su uso quizas ya no es posible debido a su popularidad. Todo esto siguen siendo opiniones y aclaro que hay muchas cosas de MIME que no entiendo quizas por desconocimiento.

Primero saludos a la lista. Soy nuevo aqui. Sobre lo de la impresora, de momento parece que el dispositivo es correcto (/dev/lpX) porque la impresora reacciona aunque no imprima. A lo mejor es que no has elegido bien el filtro del magicfilter. Yo tuve problemas con una 420C porque cogia las hojas pero no imprimia. Lo consegui con Magicfilter simplemente configurandolo con #magicfilter-config --force y para imprimir con la hpdj 420C con cartucho negro, uso el filtro hpdj550 (o 550c no lo recuerdo bien). Con el cartucho color uso el filtro hpdj500 (paradojas de la vida).

Installation and startup of SB sound card driver, alsa etc.
I have installed a minimal Hamm on a Compaq Prolinea 486 with 120M disk and an SB compatible sound card (yes I know that they are not always as compatible as all that but I haven't got far enough to worry about that, I think). I used dselect to install alsu-utils and eveything else named alsa except the source. Ran also-config (or some similar name) and it created a startup script. I ran the script and tried to run aplayer and the other utils but all of them say that they cannot open the sound device. The relevant device files all exist (audio, dsp). I have looked at the Linux Sound How-To which didn't help at all. It seems that everyone else has sound working and has higher level problems but I can't even get started. Help!

re-forward the ICMP echo replies (although you can see them with iptraf in

just an idea to make it easier to spot the error:
add ipchains rules, which do logging:
ipchains -A {input|output|forward} -j ACCEPT -l
look, what happens then.
possibly your problem is a routing one. does pinging the hosts from the

g++
I think there is something wrong with my g++ (using the latest version of
frozen).
If I make a file only containing
#include iostream.h
main(){}
or
$include iostream
then:
~$ g++ test.cpp
test.cpp:1: iostream: No such file or directory
But:
~$ g++ -I /usr/include/g++-3 test.cpp
~$
I think it should work also without the -I option, since 'iostream' and STL
etc are standard parts of C++, aren't they? And I am sure that it _did_ work
without this -I option.
So my question is if this happens only on my system, and if so how do I
solve it (i supposed that there would be some environment variable with the
include path, but I don't seem to be able to find this information).
thanks,

The reason we are considering amd (or autofs if it is capable) is to be able to have different users' home directories live on different machines. Couple of ways this can be achieved. You could explicitly list all the individual users' home directories in your auto.home map, for example: graeme server1:/disk/homes/u1/graeme derek server2:/disk/homes/u1/derek peter server1:/disk/homes/u2/peter etc. Initially, it looks to be very inefficient, but it can probably be generated quite simply. I've seen it implemented this way using amd (only difference being that they used hesiod maps instead of NIS maps). Another way to achieve it is an executable map. You're auto.master would have something along the lines of: /home program:/usr/local/bin/home-map --timeout 60 And home-map could be a shell/perl/c program which takes the key as an argument, and returns a single line of a map on STDOUT, or no output at all if the key cannot be matched.

Tape Backup Problem
Hi All, I've been trying to get tape backup working on a server and almost everytime I attempt to backup files to the tape drive the machine goes crazy.

Details: I attempted to do a test backup a 150meg directory to tape using the tape backup program Taper After about 10min of it running (46% done) the machines load starting going up and up. I tried to stop the program, and kill it but was unable to since machine stop responding to my commands via telnet. The load was very high... -- load average: 246.98, 267.86, 210.28 Then i couldn't even telnet to the machine or anything. Everything appeared to be down, except that I could ping the machine. Finally about 30min later I was able to telnet back into the machine. I noticed several of the following messages in the messages file and also when i typed dmesg -- May 3 14:23:23 taz kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 228089503) timed out - resetting May 3 14:23:23 taz kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0. -- So a week later I attempted again with tape backup using a different program. this time i used Tob. I did a small test backup using a 20meg directory. It appeared to work fine. I was able to backup and restore the files. I then attempted to backup a 2gig directory. After about 15min the machine went crazy like last time and load went up and I got locked out so I had to have someone reboot the machine. Didn't see any error messages in any logs or anything. Anyone ever expierance this problem? Anyone have any ideas what might be causing it? I been trying to figure it out for a couple weeks now with no luck. Any help is appreciated. TIA -Joe

Re: Tape Backup Problem
I had the same problem, but I had a scsi HP and I only tried taper. I was using 2.2.12 with slink.

Wanted a free library for computational geometry
Hi, I'm going to write some programs of computational geometry, so i need a library (probably a set of libs) for data type and algorithms. AFAIK there are 2 library that could hit my need: LEDA (http://www.mpi-sb.mpg.de/LEDA/) for data type and CGAL (http://www.cs.ruu.nl/CGAL/) for algorithms. But no one of that are GPLed. I think I can use glib in place of LEDA, but it's not enought for me so i need to link agaist something other. I've no starting point at all for replacement of CGAL.

RE: Making my vt320 useful
Is your TERM variable set to vt320? There are also a bunch of wyse types. See /usr/lib/terminfo/v/* and /usr/lib/terminfo/w/*. (or /usr/share/terminfo/...) On other systems there is a file in /etc/ that specifies what kind of terminal is on which serial line (gettydefs or ttytype or something like that). I don't see it on my system.

I am assuming that you have searched google.com and freshmeat? Python has numerous math libs, perhaps you could crib some of their work. Much of their math code is actually in C, then wrapped as a python module.
hide the commabd executed from ps,who
How can I hide the commond I am executing so that people can't see it from ps,or who?For example,if i use mysql by typing mysql -u myname -p passsword ..people can see my password...So it would be good if I can hide what i am doing from other user...espcially for some program which I can specify my password in command line...
Re: Epson 740
Thanks again for the reply. :) I tried the command you suggested for a text file and for a .ps file: # lpr -Plp4 test.ps # lpr -Pascii file.txt) ...and both times got the same error message printed on the page: Unknown device: escp2 , then the page hangs and I have to press the sheet feed button. I had to revert back to 2.1 (from a tarball backup) so I'm currently running apsfilter v4.9.7-5 and gs-aladdin v5.50-3. You can find my current printcap here: ftp://mattyt.net/pub/printcap Thanks for your help and patience... :) -Cheers If you used apsfilter, your printcap probably has several printers defined. To print to the ascii printer, I use the command lpr -Pascii file.txt For postscript files, I use one of the other printers. For printing from windows to the printserver I use the raw printer shared via samba. You should probably read over the printing howto. There's some good info there. Then check out the man page for lpr and related utilitys. Hope that helps some.

After I upgraded, I ran apsfilterconfig again. I chose the stcolor driver and the test page printed out beautifully. I was excited, thinking I had figured it out, but when I attempt to print a text file, the printer feeds the paper in, prints a little, then hangs with the paper halfway in. After a bit I push the paper feed button, and the printer has printed 'unknown device: escp2'. Should I be using the lpr command or something else? What else can I check? I'm pulling my hair out, here, guys. TIA... :) It sounds to me that you didnt restart lprng after you configured your printer. I'm using lprng, and apsfilter and my setup looks very similar to yours. Check the paths for all the print filters, but what you have looks very similar to what I'm currently using.

xntp
I wish to keep time synchronised by using my ISP's timeserver. This box is a stand-alone one, and I connect using a modem. After installing xntp3 and xntp3-doc packages, I find the docs far too complex to fully understand, and the program aims for far greater accuracy than I need. /etc/ntp.conf allows for an xntpd logfile, a directory for ntpstats (loopstats, peerstats and clockstats) and a driftfile. I have edited the file to include the server (tick..net). When I run /usr/sbin/xntpd, I appear to connect and the program seems to start, but I cannot tell from the log if it has been successful. (Before starting, I ascertained from timeticker that the clock was out by some 52 secs). /var/log/xntpd shows the following:- 20.19.55 xntpd [171] synchronized to time server, stratum =2 20.20.29 xntpd [171] time reset (stop) 33.461355 s 20.20.29 xntpd [171] synchronization lost 20.27.00 xntpd [171] synchronized to time server, stratum =3 20.30.13 synchronization lost 20.32.20 synchronizsed to time server, stratum =2 20.35.33 synchronization lost I can't understand the /var/log/ntpstats files (loopstats and peerstats) as the columns seem not to relate to what /etc/ntp.conf suggests to me they should. At the same time, one column which could refer to time differences in seconds could indicate an attempt was made to synchronize - the first entries 53.xxx, the next 0.xxx and the last lot -1.xxx. Are there any explanatory notes (preferably in simple terms) for the contents of the ntpstat log files? Can anyone offer any ideas as to where I should go from here? Grateful for any assistance, John.
Re: Making my vt320 useful
TERM was set to vt320. I have switched my inittab to say: T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -Lhwi ttyS1 38400 wy185 now though, so not TERM is wy185 (which is the model of my terminal). i don't think the /etc/gettydefs is necessary anyways since i specify my terminal type as an argument to getty. having switched terminal types, my situation has changed a bit. i now have a few different problems (but things are a bit better in general): 1. if my terminal is on while i boot it gets all sort of ugly weird characters on it. 2. the arrow keys don't function as arrow keys in the shell (instead of getting my history when i hit up i get a listing of tab-completions and a trailing 'A'). the arrows do work, however, in jed (emacs like editor). 3. i can only run jed once. it works perfectly the first time, arrows, escape, all the Control-key combos i want. however, the second time i run it i just get junk on my screen...a whole bunch of weird escape sequences and a lot of beeping from an unhappy terminal. any ideas on how to fix these? eric.
