Build it in your user account. With a lot of software, you don't need to
run "make install" to install it, you just find the right executable and
run it ( though you may need to set an environment variable or too to
get this to work )
Another thing you can do is do something like this :
make PREFIX=test install
and it will install the software under a directory called "test".
Then you can test it until you are ready.

You can. Just install under your home directory ( eg in
${HOME}/software) and then other users can access it by setting their
environment appropritely. Of course, this is pointless if you have root
anyway.

Have you checked the registry? (See below)
Q. How can I disable the "Save Password" option in dial-up
networking?
A. When you connect via RAS you can cache the password. If you feel
this is a security problem then you can disable the option to
enable the password to be saved.
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RasMan\Parameters
>From the Edit menu select New - DWORD value
Enter a name of DisableSavePassword and press ENTER
Double click the new value and set to 1
If you disable the "save password" make sure "redial on link
failure" is not activated as one redial attempts as it does not
save user information it will attempt to connect as Administrator
which will not work (unless the ISP has very poor security :-) ).

Subject: Netscape (glibc2) hangs on startup when not connected to the net!!!
Date: Thu, 8 Apr 1999 12:49:17 -0500
Netscape (glibc2) hangs on startup when not connected to the net!!! The
window never appears under X, but it shows up using ps or top.
Here is my setup. Behind the firewall I have a linux box (Slackware 3.6
upgrade to 100% glibc-2.1) which is running Netscape-4.51, glibc2, 128-bit.
The linux box is using my FreeBSD box (firewall, gateway) as a DNS server
also (yes, it is properly configured). The DNS server is configured for my
internal domain (not recognized beyond my LAN). I am running a
gateway/firewall (FreeBSD-3.1-STABLE) that is my interface to the net. The
two boxes are networked together through a 10baseT hub. The
gateway/firewall has a second NIC which connects to my cable-modem.
The funny thing is that my linux box used to be a FreeBSD-3.1 box and
Netscape worked just fine on that one, with the same essential
configuration. This seems to be a problem with Netscape and its
"dns-helper" under linux. I have made sure my /etc/hosts file is empty
except for 127.0.0.1 localhost. I have also tried placing my computer in
/etc/hosts. There should not be a lookup problem at all, because the
computer is a registered member of my domain and it shows up with an
nslookup on the firewall/gateway box. One thing to note is that I DON'T
have bind installed on the Linux box where the netscape problem is
occurring.
So, it seems to me that Netscape is trying to connect to some site external
to my LAN that it can not get to, so it just hangs. I have the mail client
the default window to open, and it connects to an external POP3 server, but
it should not be trying to connect before the window is even instantiated.
It doesn't even have a password to work with anyway.
Any ideas?

Linux is becoming a very important Operating System both on servers and on
desktops. From several thousand users a few years ago, to more than
12 million today. Last year commercial support companies were created to
provide the same level of support that commercial Operating Systems like
Solaris and Windows have. An area was still missing: affordable Linux
support for home users and small companies.

No, Linux is not virus proof. However, when a program (a virus or a macro)
is run, it is run under the users permissions. So if the user does not have
sufficient privileges to damage the OS, then you should be safe from viruses
introduced by that user. The most likely causes of infection would be to
run a virus while under the permissions of a privileged user. If you do all
you work as a non-privileged user and save root for administration tasks
only, then you should be safe.

With one important caveat -- if, and only if, your machine is not
connected to a network.
Any application you run as root potentially exposes you to a security
risk. If you are not connected to a network, this is not a big deal.
But if you are, it is one more potential target for a 'sploit.
Remember all those Java and Javascript security bugs? They are really
no big deal if you are running as a user. But if you are running
netscape as root, your system can be compromised. Just one example of
many.
Ok, so you have your data backed up. It is no great loss to *you* if
your system is compromised. However, you have exactly the type of
system that hackers love and security managers hate. A hacker will
break into your system quite easily, and in most cases, unnoticed. He
will then use your machine as a springboard to hack into others. But
because you are probably not doing any tracking or security logging,
it becomes very difficult to trace the hacker back to the source.
A good systems administrator will run as root only when absolutely
necessary, and will even install system daemons w/o root privs. That
way, if someone does fine a 'sploit in the program, damage control
will be limited to a user broach instead of a systems broach.
Let's put it another way. Unix has been arround for 30 years. Unix
existed long before networks, back in the days when there were no (or
almost no) malicious hackers or security threats. The root account
was created for a reason -- A good reason that works.
It is quite sad that Microsoft fucked things up and set the industry
back a decade or more. It is also unfortunate that your attitude
towards security is shared by so many. It is an attitude born out if
ignorance (i.e., lack of knowledge) and nothing else. Now is the time
to send out the deprogramming squads...
> I ran

Personally, I have a problem running Winblows for the very same
reason -- It bothers me to run all the time with administrative
privs. (I don't wanna be root. Don't wanna, don't make me,
please!)

I'm not sure what makes you think this is the case. Typically when
I've installed emacs (which I've done numerous times under different
linux distributions), I'm given the choice between the X and the non-X
version. I always take the X-version.
It runs under X, using the mouse, colors, pull-down menus, etc. in a
nice way. If I type emacs when I'm at the console though (without
Xwindows running) then emacs works fine in the console. In addition,
if I start emacs with emacs -nw while using X, it runs in console mode
inside the xterm I started it from.
This is all with GNU Emacs, not with Xemacs, which I know less about.
There are several machines at work that I've installed both GNU Emacs
on, _and_ Xemacs without any interference, as well.

Actually, there is an experimental version of the NTFS driver that is
read/write for the linux-2.2.x kernels. Just enable experimental options
when configuring the Kernel and you will see it. Apparently FreeBSD has
support for NTFS too, and I believe that it is read/write, at least in 3.1

The most interesting story that I heard about someplace being
shutdown was Eielson AFB near Fairbanks, Alaska. The senior
operations officer (a colonel who is Wing Commander of the
fighter squadron) was one of the first people to blunder into
Melissa and pass it on. "An important message from
Col. xxxxx..." has a little more effect, in that environment,
than the average message. It shut down the email system on the
base for the weekend apparently. (Just imagine who the first 50
addresses in his email list would be. :-)
But as suggested, the newspaper articles are way out of
proportion to the significance.

Not really.
I created another use "staff", which owns e.g. /usr/src as well as
/usr/local.
Whenever I compile the kernel or install another program I'll do it as user
staff. So even the most malicious install routine can not damage the core OS
(in the worst case I would have to restore just /usr/local and /usr/src;
pretty easy if the OS is still up and running).
Only for tasks, which really require very special permissions like writing a
new MBR after creating a new kernel, I go for root.
