Re: Wilson and the Sir.CAM virus

If you use a mailer like mutt or pine, it's pretty unlikely [snip] Even us hybrids who use both m$ and *nix with have half a brain know enough not to open executables from untrusted senders. I watched the first mail from Wilson come in yesterday afternoon and merely deleted it as I braced myself for the inevitable responses from all the virus scanners out there. Stuff like this happens often enough here. I hope nobody out there was naive enough to have opened the file and became infected. Now we still haven't heard anything; does this list have an admin / moderator? Why isn't it closed to off list subscribers and why doesn't it reject all attachments? This is not a moderated list and I think D.B. is probably too busy solving *real* problems to pay much attention to these minor annoyances from one of the toys he's created. He probably is not even aware what's going on..
Re: Solaris vs. Linux vs. FreeBSD
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I understand that Free BSD and Linux are the overwhelming choices of the Internet pornography industry. That is a good technical figure of merit, because it means these servers are stable (for HTTP) when getting lots and lots of hits. Actually, Linux and FreeBSD are the systems of choice in startup porn companies because of their low cost. Once a company begins to move major traffic they find that low cost systems have too many limitations to handle what the leaders of the company want to do. This is when they use their new found wealth to buy Solaris.

I need someone to work with me to fix this problem. Please advise if you are able to assist me. al First of all, with the extraordinarily long signature, I doubt if you will receive very much help from most of this list. I seem to remember you being chastised about this in an earlier post. Forgive me if I am mistaking you for another, but use another sig file when posting for tech support. You won't appear nearly so lame. Secondly, and more to your request, this is not the best list to post that question. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is much better. For best results, include more specific information about the problem. Excerpts from the applicable log files to show what the box is doing really helps the helpers help you. Niles

Re: Log Entry question
Drew Hawn [EMAIL PROTECTED] asked: Thanks. I'll check it out. How can I decode the tai64 format? I can't tell when this problem is still occurring. There is a program called tai64nlocal that decodes the timestamps. Niles
