7/1 Sorry to bring another ssh question to the motd, but I thought
others might be interested. So my company doesn't have ssh
installed, but there *is* a machine I can telnet out of without
going through the proxy. I compiled ssh over there, and I can't
get it to connect to soda. I checked man pages, and the ssh url
above, but it still dies. Here's the command line and result:
> ssh -a -v -l emarkp http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu
SSH Version 1.2.27 [sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4], protocol version 1.5.
Standard version. Does not use RSAREF.
host183: ssh_connect: getuid 27243 geteuid 27243 anon 1
host183: Connecting to http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu [128.32.43.52] port 22.
host183: connect: Connection timed out
host183: Trying again...
Any ideas on how to fix? -emarkp
\_ ssh on outgoing port 22 on your firewall is blocked,
as in not open.
\_ but emarkp was able to get "ssh-1.5-1.2.26" from telnet pt 22?
\_ woah, they have suns at intel?
\_ ssssh! Don't let anyone else know. :) I don't know how
long this system has been in place. --emarkp
\_ suns are better than intels. and for that matter, so is
everything else. but intels are cheap which is good
enough for my purposes.
Any ideas on how to fix? -emarkp
\_ Hint: try "telnet http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu 22" first.
\_ try it again now that the campus network is back up...
\_ I did. There wasn't even this much when the network was
down. --emarkp
and say hello to mister firewall.
\_ Actually, I got through. That is, it said:
Connected to http://soda.csua.berkeley.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-1.5-1.2.26
-- emarkp
\_ Now remove the setuid root bit from ssh. |

7/1 Go see the South Park movie. It crushes all other movies.
\_ How ironic: Theaters had to turn away children trying to sneak
into a vulgar movie about children who sneak into a vulgar movie.
\_ A movie with a recursive procedure, Harvey will be pleased.
\_ incredible, matt stone and trey parker appear to have just
about out-smarted someone
\_ gosh i'm sure trey and matt never considered that, huh?
\_ Well gee, what's its competition right now?
\_ Wild Wild West
\_ Which got horrendous reviews from just about
everyone except the Chronicle, which isn't much of a
paper anyway.
\_ Hey ignorant one, I work at a media outlet and
\_ Reviews? Those are just opinions of random strangers.
knowledgeable. Movie reviewers aren't just
Roger Ebert or Rex Reed.
Why do you read reviews? They're mostly 50+ year old
bald guys you hopefully have nothing in common with.
\_ Please, I work at a media outlet and
interact with reviewers who are young and
knowledgeable. Wake up, movie reviewers aren't
just people like Roger Ebert or Rex Reed.
\_ I'm quite awake. I read the reviews. They're
fucking way off base for the most part especially
and particulularly concerning movies for younger
(under 35) people. The very idea that a movie
reviewer could be "knowledgeable" is stupid.
It's a _movie_! It's just their _opinion_!
You're the one who needs the no-doze. I think
your closeness to such "greatness" has turned
your brain and ability to make simple value
judgements (good movie/bad movie) into mush.
\_ Get some reading comprehension skills.
When 90% of the reviewers are saying
that movie sucks big time, then odds
time. When did I ever say that I blindly
follow a particular reviewer's opinion?
And I guess by your logic, pretty much
all reviewers are not worth taking
seriously, regardless of what they're
are that it probably sucks big
time. Are you saying that "Wild Wild
West" is a great movie? And when did I
ever imply that my judgment comes from
blindly follow a particular reviewer's
opinion? I guess by your logic, pretty
much all reviewers are not worth
listening to, regardless of what they're
reviewing because it's "just their
opinion."
\_ That's exactly what I'm saying. Their
opinions are just opinions. Do I need to
say that a few more times before it sinks
in? They're not skilled at reviewing
movies. It isn't a skill. Those who
can, do. Those who can't, review. Why
do you find this so hard to understand?
Mushy brain syndrome.
\_ When's the last time a summer action flick got good
reviews? Face/Off? Die Hard?
\_ Face Off sucked. |

07/01 Shit! OutlooExpress 5 just deleted 4 years of crucial personal
files/data on my computer! Since soda doesn't allow telnet anymore
I figured I should configure Outlook...I directed the program to
save the mailspool under d:\xyz\mailspool, all of my stuff was in
d:\xyz, instead of creadting a subdirectory under d:\xyz, outlook
overwrote everything else and it's all gone. What can I do? is
there a way to retrieve anything at all? Please please help!!!!
\_ Restore from backups.
\_ Programs do exists that try to undelete deleleted files..
Just don't write anything more to disk and look at symantec
or norton or something for one of these programs. Just make
sure you don't write anything else to disk until you do that
or the bits that were your email may be over written and lost
forever.
\_ this is a troll, yes? Outlook Express 5 just creates .mbx and
.idx files and does not overwrite as far as I know. What file
format were your existing e-mails stored in? If this is a
legitimate plea for help, post up your e-mail and I'll send you
the 600K undelete program.
\_ No this is NOT troll. Anyway, i just tried a recover program
but was not able to recover anything. Yes outlook saves in
.mbx and .idx files...but I told the program to place the mail
in d:\xyz\mailspool. D:\xyz is wher all my important stuff
from the last 4.5 years are stored. Since the subdirectory
"mailspool" didn't exist, i just assumed that it would create
a subdirectory under D:\xyz. Well for some reason when I
finished d/l'ing the pop mail, all that was left was
d:\xyz\mailspool, everything else under d:\xyz was wiped out.
I kid you not! try this yourself and create configure outlook
as i've said. Even the date on D:\xyz was stamped 7/1/99
instead of 1995 when it was created. send me undelete program
if you have one that works -hitran
\_ it's called "restore".
\_ what OS are you running? I know Outlook Express (v4, and v5)
Win95 doesn't allow you to choose a non-existent directory as
your mail folder, since it brings up that directory tree for
you.
(default C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook Express) |

07/02 What is the difference between a "PCI Ethernet Controller" and
an ethernet card? MediaOne says I need an ethernet card if I want
to use a cable modem, but I'm running low on IRQs. Can I remove
the "PCI Ethernet Controller" and replace it with an ethernet card?
Thanks.
\_ It's the same thing.
\_ yur isp is full of shit. you need a cable modem to use cable
modem. if the cable modem has an ethernet interface just get
an ordinary 10/100 ethernet card and make sure it's pci since
they're only $2 more expensive. problem solved.
\_ help, I have a computer but AOL says I need a "PC" to use it.
\_ ethernet controller == ethernet card,NIC,network
adapter,network interface,network interface card
\_ I don't think the statement above is true. On Windows 95
my "PCI Ethernet Controller" shows up under "Other Devices"
not under "Network Adapters". Also on LINUX, no etherent
card is recognized when I boot. Once again, what the heck
is a "PCI Ethernet Controller" and how is it different from
an ethernet card? Thanks for any clues.
\_ ok. There's a question mark next to "PCI Ethernet
Controller" yes? What this means is that Win95 knows you
have the network card, but Win95 is telling you you haven't
installed the drivers for it, yet. Select "PCI Ethernet
Controller" and remove the device. Get the driver disk
ready. Reboot. When it asks you for drivers, put it in
the drive and there you have it.
\_ That makes sense. Since I got my computer second hand
I don't have the drivers, but I'll try and find out
\_ if you have more trouble, post to the motd again
who makes my card and download drivers. Thanks.
\_ if you have more trouble, post to the motd again, or
wall, because this is a potentially lengthy topic
\_ I always thought ethernet controller was just marketing bs
just like they say scsi controller, but its formally called
a host adapter.
\_ technically, a "scsi controller" and a "host adapter"
are two separate things. It's just that they both come
on the same card. And it makes things more confusing that
typically in the PC words, a card like that is called a
controller.
\_ technically, scsi is a peer-to-peer shared-media
network w/ a statically-defined arbitration policy.
there is no controller.
\_ what is the term for the computer "peer" that is
usually at ID 7?
\_ host adapter |

7/02 Does anyone know how to find out the clock speed of a processor?
For example, you can find out how much memory a computer has by
using top, but how do you find out how fast a processor a computers has?
\_ reboot and check the bios.
\_ On SunOS 4.1 there's a "sysinfo" utility. Don't know about other
\_ dinfo
versions of UNIX. -- yuen
\_ sysinfo is a freeware program, not part of SunOS
http://www.magnicomp.com/sysinfo
\_ http://home.earthlink.net/~bhami/rosetta.html
includes: lscfg, uerf, dmesg, ioscan, hinv, prtconf
\_ On Irix, "hinv"
\_ Many PC Unices (FreeBSD, Linux), that stuff will be somewhere in
\_ The only thing in dmesg which looks relevant is the following:
/proc, but just running "dmesg" and reading it is usually easier
does that suggest I have an 80 Mhz Machine or something
completely different?
\_ bogomips are different functions f(clock) for each cpu type,
e.g. pentium, pentium II, 486, alpha, sparc, are all computed
differently. check /proc/cpuinfo on linux for real measured
MHz.
--dbushong
\_ The only thing I found in dmesg which seemed appropriate was:
Calibrating delay loop.. ok - 79.67 BogoMIPS
does this mean my machine runs at 80 Mhz?
cat /proc/cpuinfo --dbushong
\_ Sounds like you're on a Linux box (mention this next time,
will save everyone a bunch of time).
"cat /proc/cpuinfo" will tell you the clock speed, and no,
bogomips do not correspond in any way to MHz --dbushong

7/02 Does anyone know if it is possible to get ms internet info server 4.0
running on a regular NT 4 workstation (not server) without a great
big hassle? My apologies for the ms factor; the office is
entirely NT.
\_Gee, wouldn't you violate your "workstation license",
10 connections, yadayadayada?
Besides, just install apache.
\_ It's easier to install server than fuck around with WS. So, no. |
