Neither the official websites for Gnome or Gnu give any hint, although I
saw one post to claim an "official" pronunciation. Presumably, the
"g" is silent, as normal pronunciation of these words. Several of the
"cute" usages would not work if gnu did not refer to the animal--
"hurd (sic) of gnus", for example.
That said, I'll have to admit that when teaching, it's handy to add the
hard "g" so that the listeners don't think you're saying "new".

Yeah, this is what I was getting at; the Bootdisk-HOWTO didn't help me much.
Here's what I did according to what I could extract from the howto (btw,
this mini-distro doesn't use lilo):
#copy all files from the original boot disk to the HD
cp -r /mnt/floppy/* /tmp/olddisk
#format the new disk
fdformat /dev/fd0u1680
#copy the kernel to the disk
dd if=/tmp/olddisk/vmlinuz of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k
#set the root device
rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/fd0
#set root R/W
rdev -R /dev/fd0 0
#set the RAM disk word
rdev -r /dev/fd0 16819
#copy the root fs
dd if=/rmp/olddisk/initrd.gz of=/dev/fd0 bs=1k seek=435
At this point, I assume I should be able to mount the disk and see the
files. Either I've missed something, or my assumption is plain wrong because
when I do, I just get a list of garbage files and directories.
An obvious and basic question; what about a fs on the diskette? The distro
uses dos so that it can be edited from a M$ machine, so, when should mkfs be
executed? I've done it both before and after dd'ing the kernel and initrd.gz
and it doesn't help the outcome.
Thanx for reading; any advice appreciated.

I have never used GnomeICU and I know that I never will, but I had no

YES! there is no reason to create other 'root' users. If they are trusted
enough to use root privelages, they should have root's password etc...
I trust YOU are not logging in as root? Always SU...
So, yes, give permissions accordingly via a separate group. disable the files

If you write your temp files to /tmp or /var/tmp, it's extremely unlikely
that it would be shared.

Andrew!
I'm new to Linux and even newer to sendmail, but figured aliases were
the solution to this issue - it's nice to know the "right" answer every
once inawhie. :) Per what I've read, and your comments
above, I'm wondering if I can use aliases for an e-mail I send out
monthly. It's not spam as everyone who receives it has requested it
and we follow the mass-mail guidelines. But, this e-mail goes to
between 6,000 and 7,000 addresses. Would it be possible to create an
alias (as in one) for blocks of 1,000 or 500 addresses? Since I'm new
to Linux, I don't know what optimization would be needed to handle a
load like that. Are there better solutions? We maintain the database
manually (it's in access right now) so we don't need automated
subscribe/un-subscribe, and it's just a one way mailing once a month--
not a discussion.
Thouhts?
Thanks!

Does SGI sell OpenGL on their linux servers?
I'm noticing that even tho intel/amd smokes mips in pure cpu
performance, opengl smokes mesa even if opengl is on a much slower
processor.
Is it possible SGI's opensourcing of GLX will eventually make mesa
more competitive with opengl? That is, will free GLX make it so mesa
can use hardware acceleration in video cards, and if so, will that be
enough to make mesa a comparable performer?

The only thing I have to add to Bill Unruh's excellent advice is
the following. You can't count on the amateur status of the
intruder to save you. Amateurs use cracking kits they find on
the web, and such a kit could easily make changes in your
file system or plant trojan horses you might not find. Follow
Bill's advice and wipe your disk clean and reinstall.

Subject: LILO Died - Partition Not Found
Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2000 09:40:10 -0700
I've just given Windows the boot. I installed the new Linux Mandrake 7.1
and decided to repartition my whole IDE drive. (6.5 and Windows
coexisted well). I now have one Linux partition from 0-760 sectors
mounted as '/'. When I try to install LILO to the MBR on /dev/hda it
bombs with the message that the partition isn't found. If I look at the
partition table with DiskDrake, it shows the partitions I expect, hda1
is bootable but it notes that it is MS-DOS bootable. What do I have to
do to finish expunging MS-DOS?
My lilo.conf file looks like this:
boot=/dev/hda1
vga=normal
default=linux
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda1
vga=normal
read-only
...
other=/dev/fd0
label=floppy
tables=/dev/hda
The floppy part fortunately works. Any suggestions?

I would actually _not_ recommend this from a commercial point of
view. When you consider how cheap web space is you would be far better
off IMO letting someone else do that for you. Do you really want to be
dragged out of bed at 4 in the morning after a mains spike or
whatever? �150-�200 a year gets you some nice web space with someone
else to do the donkey work. Compare this to �4-500+ to set up your own
box on a shoestring and doing all your own support.
On the other hand if you want to set up a web server for the fun of it
and you're prepared to learn a lot then go right ahead.

You just need a central database (MySQL/Postgresql) with all the
bookings on it.
IMHO the most sensible course of action would be a web based solution
with PHP. Chances are something like this has already been written and
would just need a bit of tarting up. In any case it wouldn't be so
hard to write from scratch. Just needs reasonable planning and all
that.

Yes, I too believe that a full reinstallation is the only
way to calm my nerves.
However, in my post I was sort of groping, in an offhanded way,
for some insight as to exactly how one installs a "backdoor"
once they get into the system. Can this be done in an effectively
infinite number of ways, or are there typical tricks that I might
be able to look for?

Thanks for the suggestion.
Any way, my understanding is that if I can list some files
in the /dos directory, it means that the file system is
mounted.
I checked xvmount which directs to /etc/xvmounttab ( Debian
2.2 Linux Kernel 2.2.14 ). It shows:
#
# Config file for xvmount (v3.5)
#
# name device directory type options
Floppy0: /dev/fd0 /mnt auto defaults # floppy A
Floppy1: /dev/fd1 /mnt1 auto defaults # floppy B
CD-ROM: /dev/cdrom /cdrom auto ro # CD-ROM
DOS-HD: /dev/hda1 /dos vfat defaults # first DOS partition
---
I also checked into /etc/mtab:
/dev/hda3 / ext2 rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hda1 /dos msdos rw 0 0
---
I can list part of the files available in the /dos partition
of the hard-disk. But not all of them. I think the question
in fact is more Linux related then Wine.
Any way, any suggestion are welcome.
Thanks,
Jose

I'm a big fan of "tempfile.`hostname`.$$.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`",
which shouldn't be affected by sharing, and when used in scripts that aren't
called from cron jobs does a pretty good job of preventing people from
predicting the tempfile name and attempting ugly race condition attacks.
When I'm feeling really paranoid, I do something like
TEMPFILE="tempfile.`hostname`.$$.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.$COUNTER.`netstat -an | cksum |
tr -d ' '`"
while [[ -e $TEMPFILE ]] ; do
TEMPFILE="tempfile.`hostname`.$$.`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.$COUNTER.`netstat -an | cksum
| tr -d '[:space:]'`"
done
. Once I'm feeling that paranoid, though, I usually just
write the script in perl and use the POSIX random filename function.
