00:22.54highburywell it appears to work
00:22.59resuDaedwhat does?

00:23.08highburyLinux version 2.4.20-64GB-SMP (root@SMP_X86.suse.de) (gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)) #1 SMP Tue Mar 11 16:50:31 UTC 2003
00:23.22resuDaedah
00:23.47its-formihighbury: I was meaning what can you read from the info of your script on my machine?
00:23.57highburyI installed the latest prepackaged .rpm version of SuSE's kernel, prior to trying to patch the ftdi driver
00:24.29resuDaedhow much does anyone know about ARP and DNS and MAC Masquading?
00:25.41resuDaed(I am wanting to combine the 3 in a very obscure way)
00:25.42highburyresuDaed: that you sometimes need to edit /etc/ethers to map MAC addresses to IP addresses, I'm not sure if DNS handles MAC addresses
00:26.16resuDaedhighbury : what I am trying to figure out is a way to redirect ports based on the hostname requested
00:26.55resuDaedie, more than 1 computer sharing a single IP, but all able to accept incoming connections from internet
00:27.38resuDaedbehind NAT/IP Masq, connections are only possible with the computer on the internal network initialising the connection, I am trying to make the reverse possible
00:27.56highburynot sure that's strictly legal. You'd have to kludge something to intercept the traffic and redirect it to two different ip addresses
00:28.27highburybut masquerading might help, I'm just not expert enough on that
00:28.46highburyyou may need to try on the list, if you get no replies here
00:29.35resuDaedlegal?
00:29.52highburyits-formi: you've probably got 3 mbr's installed, in old parlance on /dev/hda, /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2
00:30.12resuDaedall I am trying to do is the equivilant of port forwarding, but based on different hostnames as opposed to port numbers
00:30.18highburyyou cant share IP addresses on a single network
00:30.53its-formii had windows in a previous reincarnation in that disk, well the previous owner had it
00:30.55highburybut, the receiving end doesn't see 'hostnames' only 'ip-addresses'
00:31.18its-formisince then i have wiped out the disk completely several times
00:31.20highburyits-formi: what does fdisk -l return?
00:31.31resuDaedno, but using a gateway with masq' means all computers on a network can use the internet sharing the same IP
00:32.10murbleoh blah Linux version 2.5.64 (root@greg-lnx) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030309 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Wed Mar 12 13:59:20 CET 2003
00:32.55resuDaedwhat I am thinking is for a way for ARP to resolve a MAC with the NIC listening on multiple MAC addresses (say the addresses of NIC's on the internal network)
00:33.02resuDaedbut based on hostname
00:35.10highburysounds like you may need to get into the masquerading stack :-/
00:35.56highburyyou need to speak to an IP expert.... perhaps Bruce Richardson, anyway its beyond me, sorry
00:36.04resuDaedthanks anyway
00:36.42resuDaedThis is all because I got annoyed at how difficult it was to run severs on an internal network without port forwarding
00:37.54eye69resuDaed: The problem with that is that the hostname isn't supplied with the request
00:38.05eye69That only happens with HTTP/1.1
00:38.13resuDaedeye69 : I know, that is waht I am trying to figure out how to resolve
00:38.58eye69If it was doable it would already be done
00:39.02resuDaedI am talking about general open sockets, but only the IP:PORT is requested as standard
00:39.52eye69Would require a rewrite of both client and server stacks, and in that case a much easier solution can be done
00:40.10resuDaedI am still trying to figure a way around it
00:40.30eye69Would it need to be accessible from any client?
00:40.37eye69Ie. with no preconfiguration?
00:40.40resuDaedeye69 : yes, thats the prblem
00:41.10murbleresuDaed: you want to do selective bridging?
00:41.20resuDaedmurble : define?
00:41.33murbleresuDaed: you were talking about doing weird netwrky stuff.
00:41.46eye69I would say that it's a no-go
00:41.50resuDaedmurble : yes, what I am after is wierd networking stuff
00:41.55eye69It's just too weird
00:42.22resuDaedeye69 : if it was only on a local level, I could write a module to deal with it or something
00:42.30eye69You'd have to go with port forwarding and use different ports or different external IP's
00:42.36resuDaedpossibly add a network layer
00:42.50murbleeye69: forwarding wouldn't help you, since that is layer somthing high.
00:42.56eye69If you can preconfigure the clients a VPN is the easiest
00:43.23resuDaedanyway, I must go now
00:43.35resuDaedeye69 : are you running kde3 on testing/unstable?
00:43.46eye69I'm not running KDE at all. I only run Openbox.
00:44.04resuDaedI installed kde3 to have a look ...
00:44.08eye69I've never run KDE. I ran Gnome until a few months ago.
00:44.10resuDaednow kmail is 'broken'
00:44.23resuDaedwould removing kde3 fix it?
00:44.36eye69Not a clue.
00:45.58resuDaedlaters all anyway, I am going to bed
00:48.08its-formiI bloody wonder why people keep using kmail
00:48.30its-formimost output from users is negative
00:48.54TarragonEasy to use. We can look at the colourful pictures while waiting for all the spam to download.
00:49.41its-formii have bad memories form kmal 0.X
00:49.54highburyI'm happy with it. PLUS I know if all goes totally to crap, I can revert back to pine easily
00:50.34highburyIt now handles some of the digested mails I get far more elegantly.
00:51.01highburyits filtering is pretty good too, pretty easy to do
00:51.49its-formii do prefer to have filtering done by a separate program
00:53.03its-formiif i were a malicious user trying to send emails to screw up mail programs, the ones with inbuilt filter would be the most accesible
00:58.41TarragonWhile modular is better as programs can then usually concentrate on what they are doing, surely once you are passed the filtering you would be in the mail system anyway so would not make much difference.
01:03.22pdrlo
01:03.34Huhnhi Pet
01:03.36Huhne
01:03.38Huhn:)
01:05.51its-formiTarragon: kmail is more attractive to newbies, which probably have a less secure system than expert people
01:06.13its-formihey pedro
01:06.54its-formi:->
01:10.32TarragonVery rare to get security vunerability noyices about Mail clients. Lots on the MTA's which are more likey to be on expert systems. That could be down to the experts knowing what weakness to look for though.
01:12.54its-formiif you want maximum effect, you'd go for a widely deployed mail app, for ie you have more victims running kmail, than procmail + pine,mutt,emacs...
01:15.12highburymost problems, would arise from people configuring kmail to display html mail in html format rather than text style
01:16.57its-formi<PROTECTED>
01:17.13its-formii clean up before procmail reads it
01:18.10its-formireasoning being that links is more feasible to handle html errors than procmail

11:50.57dank_workSo I then run it through procmail, which adds another header, which I then filter on
12:15.51Davilionheh im on the phone to bt again
12:16.01Davilionand i can hear the critical exclaimation sound in the bacground again
12:16.12dank_workBONG!
12:19.30Davilionhmm they have lost my address completely now
12:19.36Davilionapaprently i phoned up to cancel my order last night
12:19.38Davilioni most deifnatly didnt
12:19.50Davilionso i asked them how somebody could phone up and cancel and they said they couldnt
12:19.59Davilionso i said what time was it canceled and tehy couldnt tell me
12:20.06Davilionso i asked to speak to amanager and they were busy
12:20.34Davilionso said i was a bit alarmed that somebody could phone up and pretend to be me with no access to my personal details and not get vetted by any sercurity quuestions.
12:20.40Davilionand that didnt get me anywhere
12:20.52Davilionso what im finding strange is now they can't find my address on the sysytem
12:20.58Davilionbut i gave them a work number and it came up as cancelled
12:21.12dank_workOdd
12:21.22Davilionso what i want to know is why they can't un cancel it, or at least get trhe information from that job and create a new job
12:21.42Davilionand now im back on hold whilst he finds somebody who can find out if there has ever been a line active in the building
12:21.49Davilionbut there are 3 lines already active in the building
12:21.52dank_workThis is BT customer disservice you're talking about...
12:22.05Davilionyes thats right, theyr' customer ooptions team whatever that is
12:22.23Davilionand it might cost me 79 pounds to get a line in.
12:22.26Davilionwhich strikes me as odd.
12:22.44dank_workyeah
12:23.26Davilionsoothing music on their holding system though
12:23.32dank_workYou need it
12:23.33dank_work:)
12:23.34Davilionbut this is just totally stupid
12:25.07dank_workWhat music is it?
12:25.26Davilionwhat i find amusing is yesturday it was (After they found my ?house) 'no preoblem sir, active by 5pm sir, tennerish a month sir, ex directory sir' now its, who are you? kenilworth
12:25.30Davilion?
12:25.37dank_work:)
12:26.14Davilionapparently since they can't find my line its going to cost 79 quid
12:26.15Daviliongrrr
12:26.23dank_workThat sucks.
13:01.02Davilionright
13:01.05Davilionim off to nottingham
13:01.07Davilionlater
13:01.14dank_workLater
13:01.17dank_workEnjoy :)
13:02.42dank_workhi Huhn
13:03.26Huhnhiho
13:05.27dank_workHow goes?
13:06.04Huhn*cough*
13:06.09Huhnnot too bad
13:06.27Huhnbetter then yesterday :) how are you, dank_work?
13:06.37dank_workMuch better.
13:07.24Huhnthat's good ;)
13:07.26dank_workNot feeling depressed or anything any more
13:07.31dank_work(at least not yet)
13:07.35Huhncool
13:07.42dank_work:)
13:07.45dank_workThanks :)
13:08.14dank_workBut I think I'm going to end up keeping a hatred for zimm, and a dislike for Jenson
13:08.51dank_workOther than that, I'm good :)
13:09.13Huhnmh, give it some time, "hate" is maybe a bit too strong.. see how you're feeling in one week
13:09.36dank_workHopefully in one week I won't be in the country
13:11.36HuhnCanada?
13:11.39dank_workBut it's one of these feelings that isn't going to shift. Not that I mind.
13:11.41dank_workYeah :)
13:11.53Huhncool.. skiing?
13:11.59dank_workI have far better and more worthwhile friends around.
13:12.03dank_workYup.
13:12.11dank_workHopefully in Quebec - Mont Tremblant
13:12.18dank_workIt's a really nice place
13:12.18HuhnI'd love to go to Canada
13:12.25dank_workYou should come, then :0
13:12.26dank_work:)
13:12.42HuhnI'm going to Tux, remember?
13:12.45dank_workTrue.
13:12.46Huhnmaybe next year
13:12.48dank_workMaybe next year
13:12.48dank_work:)
13:12.52Huhn:))
13:13.19Huhn*patsch* ;)
13:13.20dank_workTremblant is only one mountain, but lots of ski trails
13:13.36dank_workOf all difficulties
13:14.26Huhn:)
13:14.28Huhnsoudns nice
13:14.34dank_workIt's very nice
13:14.43dank_workAnd they even have a micro-brewery in the village there
13:15.04dank_workhttp://www.tremblant.com
13:15.45Huhnwill have a look, thanks, but now: coffeeeeeee
13:15.55dank_workHeh :)
13:45.22*** join/#gllug highbury (~steve@sc-gw4.homechoice.co.uk)
13:45.35dank_workHi highbury
13:45.45highburyhi guys
13:46.46highburywell today, was a day I was happy to be not working :-)   laaaaze in bed, ignore phones, just chill :-)
13:47.02dank_workNice :)
13:48.44dank_workQuick coffe
13:48.46dank_work+e
13:48.57Huhnhi highbury
13:49.01Huhndank_work: yes..
14:04.25highburyhi Huhn
14:04.27murblehighbury: how is the job looking for market?
14:04.30highburyHi dank_work
14:04.59highburyvellly velly slow murble :-(
14:10.26murbleoh :(
14:10.55eye69Anybody experienced in soldering?
14:11.07eye69Especially SMT.
14:12.25Tarragoneye69: Done a little. Why?
14:13.58eye69Tarragon: I need to change one or possibly two chips in a Sony 21" monitor. It was struck by lightning a few months ago and it's probably the first chip on the input pipeline that took the blow.
14:14.20eye69I know.
14:14.32eye69The tube is fine. I'm going to contact Mitsubishi and see if I can get hold of the chip(s) in question.
14:14.55eye69Tarragon: Have you done any SMT stuff?
14:15.25eye69If it wasn't for the surface mounting I wouldn't have any problems in doing it myself.
14:16.40TarragonEasiest way to desolder is to use a heatgun, Actually if replacing chips just cut them then you need a very good needle point 12V iron. Absolute pain to do. Commercially they use a microwaveable solder paste as you don't want too much heat on the chip for too long.
14:17.03eye69I've got a professional 24V 150-480C iron.
14:17.09eye69Digital thermostat
14:18.03TarragonYes - forth site?
14:18.10dank_workYeah
14:18.23dank_workThe assembler code looks really quite nice and clean
14:19.53TarragonOK cut chips away. tin new chips will be easier than trying to apply on board. Heat at tip. In lab we would cool a chip while soldering by putting a cut piece of potato on the chip. I was never sure if this worked or just a stupid routine we did.
14:21.43eye69Yeah, it seems to be cuttable
14:23.44eye69I guess I'll solder two corner legs on opposite sides so that it stays in place?
14:23.44dank_workTarragon: Is it worth learning Forth?
14:24.06TarragonSMT solder is 188 but flux activation needs 200 Set your iron to about 280 so the tip area will melt and max 4s heating
14:24.34eye69Solder one or a couple of legs at a time and let the chip cool in between?
14:24.49Tarragondank_work: Commercially these days no. Very specialized. For fun - yeah. cool stuff.
14:25.04eye69I'm going to get hold of a 0.4mm tip for the soldering station.
14:25.06dank_work:)
14:25.07dank_workCool
14:25.19TarragonI would step solder. pin 1, pin 5 pin 10...
14:25.31eye69Ok.
14:26.22eye69When it comes to fault localisation I'm guessing that the input logic took the blow, since it still displays "no input" when it is plugged in. It happened during a thunderstorm.
14:26.44TarragonThe problem is smt is a real pain. A commercial through hole iron is 5K+ and even then errors will occur.
14:27.08eye69Tarragon: http://www.velleman.be/Product.asp?lan=1&id=18582
14:27.55TarragonDon't know. you really need to scope out the boards. monitors are such a pain to do.
14:28.02TarragonNice iron
14:29.00eye69Good enough I guess.
14:29.23eye69I can get 1.6, 0.8 and 0.4 tips.
14:30.12eye69Anyway, I'm going to ring Mitsubishi and see if they can supply chips.
14:30.21Tarragon.4 will probably need about 285 temp setting. Let it warm up and stabilize.
14:30.52eye69Thanks very much for your kind support.
14:31.07eye69Don't think I'll be placing any spuds on it though. :)
14:31.21TarragonMight be easier to ask Sony to repair it. They will just swap board and then claim they changed the chips but you would know it works.
14:31.51eye69I've checked with TS Electronics in Lakeside...they want around £200...
14:31.55eye69It's not worth it
14:32.25eye69I've got a grounding wrist strap too.
14:36.32eye69Mitsubishi directs me to Sony.
14:53.22eye69Tarragon: Chips ordered
14:53.34eye695.75 for the first one and 29 for the second one
14:53.35Tarragoncool
14:53.44eye69Sonys service center in Heathrow
14:54.33eye69Would take about 8 weeks to get one of them, but since the monitor has been broken since last summer it's not that big of a hassle... :)
15:42.31Clyphoxre
15:42.46ClyphoxI just woke up at 2
15:43.32dank_workhey Clyphox
15:43.36dank_workWhat's the matter?
15:44.23ClyphoxJust generally fscked
15:44.28dank_workAh :-/
15:44.29ClyphoxNeeded sleep for one.
15:44.36dank_workAlways good
15:44.54ClyphoxThis box is going dodgy on me..
15:45.18ClyphoxX wouldn't start and I had to actually "cold" boot it to get it going..
15:45.23dank_workBwah
15:45.31ClyphoxMust just be the 2nd hand Nvidia I nicked at work I think
15:45.36dank_workyeah
15:46.04ClyphoxI'm gonna nick a Matrox 400 thats been kicking around for over a year tomorrow and try that
15:46.09dank_work:)
15:46.11dank_workFar better.
15:46.19Clyphoxwhy not.. else it gets wasted after all
15:47.21dank_work:)
15:47.31ClyphoxI'm trying to get some life out of an all TX-pro mobo and setup netBSD on it to be my new server when I go to Aberdeen
15:48.17ClyphoxI'm not sure if I want to or not but I've said I'm going to go round to a guy who lives 2min walk from my place this evening..
15:48.26ClyphoxGonna install something on his Sparc
15:48.37dank_work:)
15:49.17ClyphoxGot a Solaris 2.6 and netbsd and Splack on CD now..
15:49.38ClyphoxHe's so passionate about getting into "unix" (he didn't even know you can run "unix" on x86 hehe) that I don't think I'm gonna be able to buy is sparc off him hehe
15:50.38ClyphoxI'm tempted to throw him in the deap end with Solaris...
15:50.58ClyphoxBut the portstree seems like a good thing to show off..
15:51.26ClyphoxHope he's got net so I can irc and get help.. (Never touched Sparc or Solaris before hehe)
15:52.29dank_work:)
15:52.37dank_workBoth are cool
15:52.51dank_workI should be callable if you want - not sure if I'd be much help though
15:53.18ClyphoxGonna be fun.. Just that I'm not in the mood atm.. wanna tidy my room and get my netBSD boxen doing postfix
15:55.38murbledoes DJB pay you to say that every hour?
15:55.56dank_workIt's a bit of extra beer money
15:56.08dank_work:)
15:57.52ClyphoxI like postfix
15:58.04ClyphoxIts such a small worls
15:58.17dank_work:)
15:58.17ClyphoxThen on Thu last week had a guy come into our shop asking for a copy of Solaris
15:58.27dank_workYeah
15:58.30ClyphoxThen it turn out he lives 2min down the road from me. Now I'm going round his pace tonight maybe to install netbsd/Splack or Sol2.6
15:58.43ClyphoxAnd there is another GLLUG member who started dating my sister and he only lives 3min down the road form me
15:58.55ClyphoxAll in all there must be 4 of us now within 3 block radius..
15:59.01ClyphoxAll within the last 2 months.. (as I'm leaving as well :(( )
15:59.05Clyphoxsucky
15:59.10ClyphoxMake friend then leave..
15:59.24ClyphoxI would have stayed had I gone to GLLUG earlier.. :(
15:59.25dank_workC'est la vie
15:59.31Clyphoxwell.. maybe..
15:59.45dpashibot: lart qmail
16:00.01Clyphoxdpash: lart ibot
16:01.17Clyphoxfuq
16:01.31Clyphoxjust got burned by a CPU heatsink
16:01.42ClyphoxIt shouldn't have been on.. :( my bad..
16:01.49dank_work:(
16:02.11ClyphoxLets home the cpu survived..
16:10.02ClyphoxI'm not sure if I'm gonna flog my duely now.. having conscidered the joys of ripping a dvd->divx at 2000 in realtime
16:10.11*** part/#gllug Huhn (~huhn@guru164.netsonic.fi)
16:10.23dank_work:)
16:10.34ClyphoxPlus I'm gonna be starting a Linux UrbanTerror Clan sometime..
16:10.47dank_workYou're addicted to that game
16:11.02Clyphoxdidn't I mention that?
16:11.06Clyphox;-)
16:11.08dank_work:)
16:11.22ClyphoxLook at the screen shots at urbanterror.net
16:11.57ClyphoxI have had the luxury of taking something like 40% headshots in the last week.. thanks to learning how to get some cool FPS outta a second X
16:12.06dank_work:)
16:14.10Clyphoxis it true that you HAVE to list your street address now ehnever registering a domain now?
16:14.58murblein theory
16:15.36ClyphoxI was hoping to use a PO box :(
16:15.54dank_workUse a different Registrar, then...
16:16.11ClyphoxIts internic afaik
16:16.26ClyphoxI don't care I just heard it somewhere..
16:16.47murbledank: it is an ICANN thing.
16:16.57Clyphoxgtg.. bbiam

16:17.13dank_workah
16:25.52Clyphoxgood good
16:36.41ClyphoxOhh.. down time.. need some RAM
16:36.47dank_workHeh
16:36.49dank_workWhat fun
16:36.59ClyphoxJoyous Rapture!
16:37.51ClyphoxI got a bag full'o EDO
16:38.05ClyphoxBut no matter what I can.. I have no SD-RAM
16:46.05eye69I need EDO
16:48.25Clyphox|no-rameye69, Speek to resuDead.. I've got a big bad of EDo.. he's got it atm
16:48.48ClyphoxI/he will bring it to the next meeting and you can raid it ok?
16:49.35Clyphoxbeing the typical "monkey" I am.. I've only got one keyb and have to use in on another box atm (last AT died ok..)
16:50.04dank_work:)
16:50.12Clyphox|nokeybOK:)
16:53.06Clyphox|nokeybOKwhat do you know.. after burning that CPU without a fan for 30min (mistake) it still works..
16:53.20Clyphox|nokeybOKdo that with a Athlon
16:57.54eye69Actually, what I need is a small ATX case. I've already got a PSU.
16:58.03eye69Got a mobo with CPU lying around.
16:58.26ClyphoxI can get you new stuff retail if you need..
16:58.37ClyphoxOnly have an AT box spair.
16:59.11DavilionAnother satisfied customer
16:59.12Clyphoxwb.. I tihnk
16:59.38ClyphoxAnd some girls think "their" sex is too fast
16:59.59Davilionlmao.

17:02.32ClyphoxWhen asked what she said he responded :
17:02.51ClyphoxShe said this morning :
17:02.54Clyphoxdon't stop.
17:02.59Davilionheh
17:03.00Clyphox</lame joke>
17:03.03dank_workHeh
17:03.04dank_work:)
17:04.20Davilionhmm, flowers havent arrived :(
17:05.11dank_workWhen did you send them?
17:06.38Davilionordered them on tuesday supposed to arrive today
17:07.49ClyphoxWhat's she like?
17:08.00Clyphox(assuming its a she)
17:08.22Davilionshe's nice :)
17:08.36dank_work:)
17:08.37Davilionknown her for years, but just got in touch again in feb.
17:09.32ClyphoxThats nice :)
17:09.45dank_workibot insult David Damerell
17:09.59Clyphoxlol
17:10.27Davilionheh, nice insult.
17:11.55Davilionibot insult british telecom
17:12.05Davilionibot kill bt
17:12.07ACTION slits bt's throat
17:12.31Davilioni couldnt have said it better myself.
17:12.36dank_work:)
17:13.52dank_work:)
17:14.23Davilionthey are just so useless, they couldnt organise a shag in a brothel let alone my internet access
17:14.25Daviliongrrr
17:14.39dank_workDon't worry about it too much
17:14.43dank_workIt's only 'net access
17:14.53Davilionits easy for you to say, your not the one without net access
17:15.13dank_workOne quick firewall rule, and I can be without it
17:15.21Davilionif i'm away from the internet for more than a few hours i get withdrawn and very crotchety
17:15.33dank_workCrochet?
17:15.37dank_workThat's a nice hobby, dear.
17:15.40Daviliondankwork has quit (no route to host)
17:15.48dank_workHmm..
17:15.49Davilionperhaps its a scottish thing...
17:15.56dank_workirssi highlighted that
17:16.00Clyphox|nokeybOKibot insult ibot
17:16.24Davilioncrotchety like crotch with the latter half of yetty on the end.
17:16.42Davilionmeans crabby, or grumpy, or the result of david without broadband.
17:16.48dank_workI know.
17:18.30ClyphoxShould I use Obsd of Nbsd?
17:18.36dank_workOpen
17:18.46ClyphoxIs netbsd not as secure?
17:18.59dank_workNot quite, I don't think.
17:19.03dank_workPlus I like Open :)
17:19.14Clyphoxlol
17:19.28ClyphoxI'm just thinking about making a floopy and sticking it in..
17:19.42dank_workOooh. Suits you, sir.
17:20.26Clyphox:(
17:20.46Clyphoxwhats the point of dual CPU if bzip2/gzip still only use one..
17:20.58ClyphoxSurely I don't have to recompile my entire userland
17:21.16ClyphoxWonder how netBSD's smp support it comming along..
17:21.58dank_workBecause bzip2/gzip are only single threaded?
17:22.38Clyphoxprolly.. don't understand it all myself..
17:22.50DavilionClyphox: use debian.
17:23.08dank_workibot lart Davilion
17:23.17dank_workSlackware!
17:23.19ClyphoxDavilion: hehe
17:23.35ClyphoxDavilion: as long as Slackware boots I'll use it
17:23.52ClyphoxDavilion: plus there is a quake3-smp *8-)
17:23.58Clyphoxso the important things are ok
17:24.29dank_work:)
17:25.42ClyphoxI love the structure of netBSD
17:26.08dank_workOpenBSD forked off from NetBSD, so they share quite a bit of codebase
17:26.11ClyphoxIts so modular.. The driver for a NIC for example entirely excludes coe for the BUS as after all.. that is separte..
17:26.42Clyphoxmeans they can port to new arch's quite easily :-)
17:26.53dank_workThat's the idea.
17:26.58dank_workAt the expense of some speed
17:27.11ClyphoxStill better than NT I'm sure :-)
17:27.21ClyphoxThere seems to be a new IIS worm out
17:27.32ClyphoxMy webserver got attacked over 212 times on 4 hours
17:27.36dank_workThe original design for NT was really nice and solid. But not overly fast because of it.
17:27.53dank_workSo the marketing people told the designers to move things around a bit, stick more stuff in kernel space.
17:27.59dank_workWhich made it less stable
17:28.01dank_workBut faster

20:29.19dankolbRight.
20:29.39dankolbCan you copy the .tgz file off the floppy into your home directory?
20:30.05marko85_uki can not seem to be able to find an icon that will give me access to my floppy drive
20:30.15dankolbDo it from the command line, then
