[KSB] Since there seems to be problems with mail delivery, at the risk of repetition, let me repeat the URL of a Wiki that went live in the last 24 hours: http://openforum.worldvista.org/~forum/index.php? title=Main_Page > > Also, when you say you have gone through 80% of the installation, do you > > mean loading the software on the PC so that it runs, or do you mean 80% > > of what it takes to get you to using VistA as an application? > > Let's just say I am almost through the OpenVista on GT.M on Linux > Installation > and Configuraton Manual. [KSB] If you are still in the process of setting up GT.M and the environment (vs. configuring VistA itself), let me suggest a much faster alternative. You will need Xdialog (http://xdialog.dyns.net) on your PC for this approach. Download an OpenVistA SemiVivA file (either OpenVistA SemiVivA 0.4 or OpenVistA SemiVivA FOIA Gold 20050212), say to /Distrib/OpenVistA. The following will install GT.M and OpenVistA (replace the filename in the second line with appropriate name of downloaded file): su - tar zxvf /Distrib/OpenVistA/OpenVistASemiVivAFOIAGold20050212.tgz Assuming your userid is "vista" as the normal user vista, execute: /usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --install /home/vista/myVistA/OpenVistA (or other desired location) and reply in the affirmative when you are prompted about creating directories. Subsequently, to run it, just execute: /usr/local/OpenVistA/vista --run /home/vista/myVistA/OpenVistA The above really belongs in the Wiki, doesn't it? > > By the phrase "Internet exposed", do you really mean that you are > > running VistA on a system that is not behind a firewall (i.e., your > > firewall is on the same machine that VistA is on)?

[KSB] I recommend against this. Not that I know of any specific vulnerability in GT.M/Linux, or your firewall, but rather that I believe in the principle of layered defenses. Oracle, for example, recommends against putting a database server on a machine that is not behind a firewall (as opposed to being the firewall). > > I hope you will be able to make it to the next VistA Community Meeting, > > in Cambridge, MA, April 7-10 > > (http://worldvista.org/meetings/calendar/index.html). > > I wish..... ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
