[Haifux] Lecture Suggestion: Trust and Open Source
Hi, I want to propose a lecture/discussion on the notion of trust and security in open-source software development. The core of the lecture will be based on Ken Thompson's well-known paper Reflections on Trusting Trust - http://www.acm.org/classics/sep95/ and will relate to ESR's bazzar philosphy and the many eyeballs assumption. The proposed lecture will be quite short, leaving most of the time for discussion. Anyone interested?

Sounds great, but won't it be preaching to the converted? or are you going to attack the proposition that open source is good for security?

Re: [Haifux] Errors when Compiling 2.4.22 with modules (fwd)
i would try to break the problem into two problems. first, disable the automatic mounting of the ntfs file-system(s), and see if you can boot into the new kernel with the ext3 partitions only. by the way, i assume that ext3 is compiled directly into the kernel, and NOT as a module. if this is not the case, change it to be compiled into the kernel, and re-compile the kernel (re-compile means 'make clean' and only then 'make') and then try again. if you got ext3 mounting to work with the new kernel, then try to _manually_ load the ntfs.o module, and manually mount _IN READ-ONLY MODE_ an NTFS partition - see if that works. only after you manage to get this working - try to handle automatic mounting during boot. --guy -- Forwarded message -- Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2003 11:07:02 +0200 From: yacoub [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Haifux] Errors when Compiling 2.4.22 with modules [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Baruch, Yacoub could not read your question, I expect, because he is not subscribed to haifux.
