Perhaps, in the natural world, an organism claiming it was reasoning correctly, as SCO has, would in short order logically find its proper place in the food chain as a dietary supplement.

Their most recent charges that IBM is orchestrating the opposition is about the most ridiculous thing I've heard in ages.

Perhaps, however, the recent lunatic ravings of Darl McBride to the SCO forum members that IBM is orchestrating the open source response to the SCO -v- IBM suit may have a less obvious purpose - a first strike to divert attention away from the puppeteers at Microsoft who are pulling SCO's strings, i.e. lie first, lie loud, lie often and repeatedly, and chances are good - well, you get the picture. Out of curiosity, except for a few reports of cash infusions for useless licenses and outdated tech, there seems to have been a fair amount of silence on the MS/SCO connection.

Re: What was it about eD 2.4?

Was it the file layout? The installer? The GUI tools? What? I used and loved eD, but find it hard to say why I felt it was so nice. I *think* a lot of my fondness has to do simply with familiarity... once I learned the Caldera way on OpenLinux, eD was such a natural progression that I think a lot of my 'it was so great' is simply because I *knew* it.. however, I now 'know' SuSE, but don't have the same warm fuzzy when talking about it as I do when talking about eD snip From my perspective eD was great simply because it worked. It worked each time I installed it, it continued to work, and it, in fact, still works on at least one machine. The installer worked, the combination of executables and libraries and such worked on any piece of hardware I threw at it ... in short, it all worked, all the time. I'm currently using RH9 for production stuff, but have used TurboLinux and SuSE. eD was never bleeding edge and perhaps that is part of the it worked, but I'd rather have it worked any day than it works, but I need to fiddle, or deal with this or that, or muck about with a dependency issue, etc. on a fairly regular basis as I do with RH9.

Re: OT July 6 - upcoming hackers contest
Interesting ... but, pardon me, what a crock. Even if it were true ... 6000 web sites? How many web sites are there out there? And probes? A day without probes would be a day without the internet. Oh, yeah, and the final solution is to apply the latest software repairs from vendors such as Microsoft Corp. ? Looks like more Department of Homeland Insecurity self promoting FUD, but that's just my opinion.

Re: Some help with BIND9 settings!
I'm struggling with bind as well, but for what it's worth - check the IP
in your allow transfer statement against the IPs everywhere else.

Hiii,
Im trying to get my Bind Server to work. I followed the tutorial by
Doug Hunley from here : http://www.linux-sxs.org/bind9.html . Im a
newbie soo sorry if my questions seem kind of off :) Here is what i
im trying to set it up on (Redhat 7.3-2.3.20, BIND-9.2.2rc1)
I followed each step exactly and things went smoothly. The only thing
i changed was in the /etc/named.conf file
1 // whom do we allow to do zone tranfers
allow-transfer { 192.168.1.0/24; }; # to my internal
interface ip addy(eth1)
# 192.168.0.1
2 // tell Bind to check the names in zone files
// since it no longer does this by default
// (currently unimplemented)
//check-names master warn; //---commented this line out
3// specify what interfaces/ips to listen on
// as the default is all of them
listen-on { 192.168.1.10; 127.0.0.1; }; //changed to
my LAN interface 192.168.0.1
4 And i changed the KEYS to the keys in the files /etc/rndc.key and
/etc/rndc.conf to the keys that i have.
And then i went to my windows machines and changed thier DNS addresses
to 192.168.0.1 -eth1
Here is my setup soo you have a better idea!
I have 1 LINUX machine acting as my Firewall/ROUTER and DNS server
and 2 windows machines behind it. I was using my ISP's DNS server for
the windows machines but now i want the linux machine totake care of
it.
If anyone can help me from here on some steps to make sure everything
is working. Casue when i run NSLOOUP from my windows machine i get
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Timed out
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.0.1
And that is even after i trun my firewall off on my LINUX machine.
Thanks guys :)

Solved ... DNS problem
But I don't know how just yet. I simply went back and re-wrote everything from scratch.

DNS newbie question
I'm working on creating DNS for my lan and I've managed to wrap my brain around it enough info to get named running, but I can't quite grasp what is causing the NS SOA records errors. I've Googled some, but I'm afraid a lot of what I saw was still pretty much beyond me. I could supply the zone records if necessary, but I'd rather figure it out from helpful hints than have the answer dropped in my lap. Anyone?

I make it perfectly clear that I have no intention of changing my family's life to accomodate your grand vision of pan-asshole-unity. I have no intention of trying to bully anyone into protecting my wheat at the expense of theirs, but I will be working with our neighbors to insure that you don't get any matches. You need to know that I cherish the the freedoms I have to pursue my dreams, just as I cherish the right of others to pursue their dreams in a manner that makes sense to them. You should also be aware that I care deeply how my neighbors, including you, feel and what they worry about and I am being as honest about this with them as I am with you. But there's one more thing I need to be honest with you about while you're finishing that last cup ... I really, really do not want to send my sons and daughters to your house to blow out the match you lit, but if you light it and a single innocent gets a blister I will erase you, your farm and your every dream, hope and aspiration from the face of history and salt the earth on which it all once stood.

This is a {bad_thing}. Still, we colonials are diligently attempting to
keep pace - our President has decided to begin locking up American
citizens without benefit of trial, council or grand jury indictment,
citing a edict pronounced in a declared war that occured half a century
ago. Kinda makes me wonder why we bothered fighting you lot in the
first place. Gotta do a hats off to the Pres, though. This sure
showed the American public that he isn't just some dangerously insecure
Tejano FDR wanna-be, but is instead firmly in control of the war on
terror.
