[tslug] Meeting InstallFest
Hello all, Our next meeting will be tonight, (Wednesday) at 6:30 in VH1232. Peter and Bill are working on the Linux security talk and hope to have it ready in time for this meeting. Don will also be giving an introduction to gpg, so come and enjoy the paranoia. I know I will. I'll also be mentioning the details for the InstallFest, so don't miss the meeting! Speaking of the InstallFest, it will be this Saturday from 12 noon until we get done - hopefully by 7ish. You don't have to be there the whole time, and if you partition/format your box (please!) beforehand, the install will probably be done before dinnertime. In preparing your box for the install, you should backup any important data and have an empty partition into which we can install Linux. Also, bring all of the hardware you normally run with, including monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc. It makes things easier. We're working on getting an InstallFest web page put together; until then, I'm mirroring an old page from another LUG at http://www2.truman.edu/~c2467/installfest_mirror.html in case you're getting antsy. Some of the details don't apply for TSLUG, but it's got a lot of good info. Watch http://tslug.truman.edu/ for a link to the TSLUG version of the InstallFest page coming soon (I feel like a commercial). Be thinking about T-shirt ideas, and whether we want them or not. Failing that, it might be cool/fun/dorkish to get some other small/cheap product customized for us like ... bumper stickers or mugs or ... vitamins (wouldn't you love to chomp on little Tuxes? Besides, geeks need dietary supplements) or something. Nate PS - I thought I sent this on Monday, but it never showed up in my inbox. Sorry it's so late. -- To unsubscribe or change your membership options to this list, please use the interface at http://mtcs.truman.edu/cgi-bin/listargate.cgi. --
[tslug] Local Security Outline
To those who are interested, you can find a bit more information on local system security in my outline, available at http://www2.truman.edu/~pas577/Linux%20Security/security.html. Hopefully this will be a little better than my talk. Also, I will probablly update it after I get a chance to try out some of the kernel security extensions (which may be awhile, I decided to upgrade from gcc2.95 to gcc3.2 and am in the process of rebuilding nearly every program on my system.) With luck I should have that update within a week. Also, I may add something about working with RAM disks.

Sorry all, I'm not really awake right now. I just assumed it was on your personal machine. Given that it's on gold I stand by my initial claim.

[tslug] Spam Assassin
Hi all, I've been having problems with my e-mail account being choked with University Diplomas, ways to make body parts bigger and quick ways to get rich. This sent me on a crusade to get a spam filter besides my manual procmail recipes. I stumbled across a program called Spam Assassin at http://spamassassin.sourceforge.net that works for me and thought you might be interested in it. -- -- Benjamin Story () Join the ASCII ribbon campaign against HTML email and Microsoft-specific /\ attachments.

[tslug] Re: Local Security Outline
Speaking of RAM disks, someone mentioned encrypted filesystems. If such a thing interests you, I would recommend that you check out BestCrypt ( http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/linux.htm ). It is the most straightforward of all the encrypted filesystem products I have looked at. There are fully-functional no-cost downloads of the software which for Linux come with full source. The license requires you to purchase the software after a 30 day trial period (I believe this is relatively new for the Linux versions which were no-cost at one time). A single user license is: $49.95 for Linux and $89.95 for Windows. As I understand it, they use compatible file formats so a filesystem can be moved between them. -- Don Bindner [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe or change your membership options to this list, please use the interface at http://mtcs.truman.edu/cgi-bin/listargate.cgi. --
