16:46.27sticksterBe careful using it against any host you don't own.  It's very easy for that to come back on you in BAD ways.

17:03.52nombytestickster: wasn't there a way to use yum to search for 10A1-832B-2D0F-0771-5D12 within a package
17:05.18sticksterWhere do you expect that to occur?
17:06.41nombytei thought you showed me a way to search for a package within rpms
17:06.53nombytei know u can list them but i thought u showed me a way to search
17:08.20sticksterWhat part of the package do you expect that string to occur in?
17:09.18nombytethe content listing
17:10.09sticksternombyte: Have you read the yum man page?
17:10.34sticksterIt says 'provides' searches for features and files
17:11.04nombyteok thanks, my man is broke
17:14.34sticksterhuh?
17:14.45nombytestickster: another one for you.  when you compile your kernel you can use the -j4 option to use both processors on a dual core.  can u do that with any command?
17:15.25sticksterYes, it's a "make" option, but because make can't guarantee ordering, it's not safe to use everywhere
17:15.47nombyteoh that makes sense
17:15.57sticksterIt will work many places,
17:16.23sticksterbut if you see weird errors, try without and if it clears up, well... don't use it there :-D
17:19.21nombytegotcha

17:46.50nombytestickster: is there something else like nessus?
17:47.43nombytei like asking u questions, u teach me to fish
17:50.05nombytewhy would gfi languard be expensive on winblows and free on linux
17:57.32nombytei took out my broadcom card and put in an intel ipw3945 card which is working so much better now that i can use native drivers
17:57.52nombytei only wish people who made the rpms wouldn't disable monitor mode saying "most people dont need it"
