Hey Everyone,

Lots of changes this round to TrinityOS.  Check it 
out.

Also, I think I'm going to give up on the SGML port
idea just because there just aren't any good GUI 
SGML editors for Linux or for Windows that support 
spell checking, the LinuxDoc format, etc that is
AFFORDABLE.


So.. a question to you:  

What good word processor for Linux has GOOD export
abilities to HTML?  I would prefer something that
can output HTML code like the LDP's HOWTOs but 
its not critical.

The only WPs that I can think of that might
fit the bill is:

        Corel's WordPerfect
        Sun's StarOffice
        Applix's Applixware

Additional ideas, thoughts, experiences, etc is
welcome.


PS. 291 users on the list now!  I gotta get this
thing on a list server now.  Any preferences?
MajorDomo, BeroMail, etc?  This will then go
into TrinityOS.

N                       - removed the blurb:
                                  "I've been informed that Netscape 
                                  Navigator and Communicator rely on 
                                  "rpm" to determine what version is 
                                  installed.  Unless "rpm" can be 
                                  executed, Netscape will NOT run." 
                                  as it isn't true."
                        [Section 7]

G                       - Added a blurb on about Slackware's boots 
                          process.  There was already a blurb for 
                          Redhat 
G                       - Cleaned up the Redhat SYS-V section and 
                          added verbage on what runlevels are.
G                       - Updated the verbage in the GUI notes 
                          and greatly expanded on the "chkconfig" 
                          section to enable/disable system daemons.
G                       - Fixed a mistake where loading inetd 
                          changes was done by "init q".  This is 
                          wrong.. you should HUP the inetd process.
                          Heheh.. this is an OLD mistake!
G                       - Removed the entire section about deleting 
                          lines out of /etc/services.  Not only did 
                          this NOT give anyone more security but it 
                          broke a lot of things too.  There ya go 
                          Andy!
                        [Section 8]

N                       - Deleted all references to the old 
                          "log.to.ttys" script file.  This included 
                          the scripts: "recycle" and "sendlogs".  
                          "log.to.ttys" has been replaced by logging 
                          directly from syslog.  Thanks to 
                          [EMAIL PROTECTED] for catching this.
                        [Section 9]

G                       - Updated the firewall flow diagram to 
                          reflect possible MASQing and that the 
                          OUTPUT ruleset is run after the FORWARD 
                          rule. Thanks to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for 
                           making me clarify this.

I                       - Consolodated the weak IPFWADM and IPCHAINS 
                          MASQ rulesets into one.  Also, I added 
                          the setup of the initial firewall policies 
                          and to flush any old rulesets.  I also 
                          gave this weak ruleset a version number 
                          of 3.00. Thanks to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
                          for the heads up.     
I                       - Reordered the initial ruleset to set the 
                          policies FIRST and then flush the rules.
I                       - Updated the strong IPCHAINS ruleset to 
                          turn on ip forwarding at the very end.
                          Thanks to Rob Hutton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 
                          for the thoughts above.
G                       - Changed the URL to directly download 
                          the TrinityOS firewall ruleset file to 
http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~dranch/LINUX/TrinityOS-files/rc.firewall-TrinityOS
-3.30
                        [Section 10]

G                       - Changed the TCP R-WIN window size from 
                          8192 to 16384
                        [Section 16]

G                       - Added a pretty comprehensive blurb on 
                          how to get your own domain name.  This 
                          covers new legal changes in the US, 
                          trademark issues, and how to secure 
                          chamges for your domain name by evil 
                          remote people.
                        [Section 24]

G                       - Updated the SSH1 config to not allow 
                          ROOT logins too.  Thanks to 
                          [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the pointer.
                        [Section 30]
