Robin, I post this for two reasons, the first is that I think I know the
answer, and the second is that, if I do, then it helps you, if not, then
I learn something new ...
... so, verify I am correct before trusting this as accurate.
startx will always start an X window manager on the Linux machine.
Remember, the X server *always* operates on the *client* machine. So, if
you want an X window session on an NT box, then the X server must run on
the NT box. The Application server is the Linux box. MI/X *is* the X
server. If you are at the Linux console, then Xfree is the X server. The
trick is that you can tell any X aware app which server to display
itself on. So, the DISPLAY environment variable indicates to the
application which X server to communicate with. It will default to the
linux machine, but this can be changed by setting the DISPLAY variable.
So, From your NT box, start MIX. Then telnet to the Linux box and log
in. Set the DISPLAY variable to "export DISPLAY=<NT-IPAddress>:0.0
Then, do something like "xterm &".
At no point have you said "startx". There is no need.
My only concern is that IIRC, MIX does not support the "qt" libraries or
something, so KDE does not run correctly.

Sure you can, put the decryption in the
hardware. Hell, even the CPU could
do it just fine:
Encrypted RAM ->
Encrypted L2 Cache -> *magic* Decrpyted L1 Cache
Of course, the Caches are
welded to the CPU (ala Pentium II), in a nice
pretty, black box.
Somethings
going to have to be done to eat up all those idle instructions
in the
gigahertz processors. You could also put it on the motherboard
in different
places, use your imagination.
Here's another idea: A 2-part decryption on
the medium. You make a phone
call to the company, they ask for a number
(which is generated using the
medium's ID and some determined function of the
PC) and compute a hash. You
put the hash in and it is written to the WORM
portion of your medium, which
in turn reads the number back and computes a
new challenge -- you give it to
the other end and then they give you the
final hash which will decrypt the
software _only_ on your machine _only_ with
that processor ID.
If you somehow copy the medium before any of this
happens, the second
person to attempt an installation would be rejected by
the other end.
Making portions of this into black boxes (ala DiViX) would
make it neigh
on impossible to break. So until I hear of a good hack for
DiViX, I will assume
that they have the means and the motive.
(and I will
purchase an AMD chip instead of the abominable Pentium III)

Still not convinced. It reminds me of those fonts that were
RSA-encrypted (or somesuch) in .pdf files, yet someone figured out that
the key was embedded in the reader, and just extracted it.
Think about the sheer value of finding the way to break such a thing; if
it actually was too hard for random hackers to do, it would be
worthwhile enough that entire companies could spring up and
reverse-engineer enough of the hardware. And that would be completely
legal.

I would have thought MS would have the funds to build a stable server
system, yet they haven't, and not for lack of trying.
I would also have thought Netscape Corp. capable of getting their
security right, yet new JavaScript holes keep getting discovered every
few weeks.
Oh, and I wouldn't have guessed that the public of tech geeks would have
the ability to collectively build a computer OS, let alone a really good
one. Yet we have Linux (and GNU/Hurd; I'm not counting the BSD's here
because of their state-funded BSD heritage).

It's a whole different kind of problem altogether! Flying machines
aren't flying against the will of an attacker as smart as their builder.
Protection systems that run on the user's computer, yet work AGAINST the

So how does anyone encode software for use on that CPU?
If vendors know the key to encode, then you do too (unless you posit
secret channels between Intel and every software vendor, which wouldn't
remain secret very long anyway).
Or if they use public key crypto, you could create your own key pair,
give one key to the software vendor, and decrypt with the other.

Subject: Problems with dialing in
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 09:51:42 -0700
Hello,
I have Redhat 5.2 installed and the system is connected to the net via
the university where I work. Everything (telnet into and out of the
system, ftp, etc ) works fine.
I have tried to setup this linux system as a server to accept dial-ins
from another linux system (my home system). I set things up for PAP and
auto-ppp. Mgetty answers the modem and I believe the kernel is
appropriately configured. I can dialin and the modem is answered and the
client is assigned an IP address. After the login is completed I can
telnet to the server but not by telnetting to its hostname.domainname
but rather by telnetting to its IP address. However, I cannot telnet,
ftp, etc. except to the server.
The IP address I chose to assign to the client is a bogus IP address. By
this I mean that it is not a valid IP address on the University's net.
After reading various HOWTO's I thought this was OK but apparently it is
not. It seems that the client cannot access the University's
nameservers (the IP address of the nameservers is in the clients
resolv.conf file).
Any suggestions (short of getting a valid IP address from the
University)?
Thanks,
Eusebio Garate

Pete, here are some 'basic' suggestions. I use TCI@Home but I have a
static IP with them.
Do you need to use DHCP? If so, upgrading to the latest 2.2 kernel and
updating several packages associated with it is *strongly* recommended.
Are you running a RedHat distro?, Debian?, Slackware? I'm running
RedHat 5.2. Before upgrading the kernel to 2.2x there were several
updated packages that I had to load. Check out the RedHat support site
for more info.
You'll need something to browse the web, look at email and browse the
newsgroups... I use Netscape Communicator 4.51 for that. It works fine
for me. Get it from Netscape's site, expand it into a temp directory
then run the install script. Once Netscape is up and running do an
'edit/preferences' and set the smtp, mail and news servers up acording
to the instructions you *should* have received when you were first set
up.
Good luck.
