7/17    rpc.statd update for RedHat.  This came out today.  Get your update!
        fixes a potential remote-root breakin, though no exploit is known.
        --PeterM
        \_ what's a physics Phd candidate doing as a sys adm? have you lost
           passion for what you study? or have you converted to a money
           loving academic hating industry whore?
        \_ Hmm, I only see smoke but no fire. This is not listed on the
           security advisories web page for redhat 6.2. Where did you get this
           info?
                \_ http://www.lwn.net/daily/rh-nfs.php3
                \_ You can find the rpm at:
                        ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/i386/nfs-utils-0.1.9.1-1.i386.rpm
        \_ The update for this can be found at http://www.freebsd.org
           \_ You mean the fix.
                \_ I think once the linux box is fully updated, it has been
                   fixed.  Just semantics.  Either way, you get a better
                   system when you're done.
           \_ I believe you meant http://www.openbsd.org
                \_ Actually *bsd.org will do.  Even http://www.microsoft.com does
                   better in many situations.  Is there *anything* Linux
                   does better besides attract hordes of wannabes and endless
                   flamefests over pointless philosophical issues over which
                   license is "purist"?
                   \_ ILOVEYOU

12/9    Another idea for the CSUA that lets you spend money and maybe get some
    cool toys. Instead of buying a beefy server (like say, a massive server
    with 20 386DX processors), buy a few cheap machines (like the ones
    mentioned below) that have good disks and work on failover / load
    balancing. A netscaler or other piece of hardware is complete overkill,
    but maybe hacking an OpenBSD box could do the trick. The idea is that

7/13    I'm thinking about getting a Soekris 4501 to replace my the P2-400
        that is currently acting as my home firewall. Has anyone used a
        Soekris system for this purpose? If so, how well does it work? Also,
        if there are any alternatives (similar power/form factor), I would
        appreciate links to those as well. tia.

FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for x86 compatible, AMD64, Alpha, IA-64, PC-98 and UltraSPARC architectures. It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by 56 a large team of individuals. Additional 57 platforms are in various stages of development. Cutting edge features FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility 58 features today which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of the best commercial ones. Powerful Internet solutions FreeBSD makes an ideal 59 Internet or Intranet server. It provides robust network services under the heaviest loads and uses memory efficiently to maintain good response times for thousands of simultaneous user processes. Run a huge number of applications The quality of FreeBSD combined with today's low-cost, high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSD a very economical alternative to commercial UNIX workstations. It is well-suited for a great number of both desktop and server 60 applications. Easy to install FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if you have a network connection, you can install it directly over anonymous FTP or NFS. FreeBSD is free While you might expect an operating system with these features to sell for a high price, FreeBSD is available 62 free of charge and comes with full source code. If you would like to try it out, 63 more information is available. Contributing to FreeBSD It is easy to contribute to FreeBSD. All you need to do is find a part of FreeBSD which you think could be improved and make those changes (carefully and cleanly) and submit that back to the Project by means of send-pr or a committer, if you know one. This could be anything from documentation to artwork to source code. See the 64 Contributing to FreeBSD article for more information. Even if you are not a programmer, there are other ways to contribute to FreeBSD. The 65 FreeBSD Foundation is a non-profit organization for which direct contributions are fully tax deductible. USA Silicon Breeze has also sculpted and cast the BSD Daemon in metal and is now donating 15% of all proceeds from these statuettes back to the FreeBSD Foundation. The complete story and information on how to order a BSD Daemon is available from 67 this page.

www.openbsd.orgOur efforts emphasize portability, standardization, correctness, 45 proactive security and 46 integrated cryptography. OpenBSD supports binary emulation of most programs from SVR4 (Solaris), FreeBSD, Linux, BSD/OS, SunOS and HP-UX. OpenBSD is freely available from our FTP sites, and also available in an inexpensive 3-CD set. The project funds development and releases by selling 49 CDs and 50 T-shirts, as well as receiving donations.
