6/29    Please allow public key authentication since it is more
        secure than plain password.  If you see this posting, it
        means anybody could have posted the annoucement.  Because
        the official csua web site is still down., this makes it a
        little suspicious to the truly paranoid.
        p.s.  this web entry format is counter intuitive.  And how come

2/10    I have an sh file that does a mount.. the mount does an
        authentication. I previosly stored the username and password
        from zenity prompts. However, I can't get a return on the password
        field. The following only works on the username:
        mount -t davfs "http://blahblah.com/BLahUser11" /mountdir << EOF
        ${username}

9/27    Does anyone have experiences with OpenId and/or TypeKey as to
        minimize the effort spent on your web app authentication? How easy is
        it to integrate these 3rd party components into your web apps?

8/23    how do i view a private livejournal RSS feed in Google Reader?
        \_ I've tried this, and I don't think you can.  Livejournal provides
           a couple of (pretty poor) mechanisms for feeds, but Google
           Reader does not (last I checked) support any form of authentication.
           I had a script set up to screen-scrape LJ, log in as me and spit
           out an rss feed, but it broke and I haven't had the energy to

8/24    Anybody experiencing login authentication problems?  I cannot login
        with unix passwd thru ssh, although I was able to login using my ssh
        auth keys/cert.  Then when I type passwd to change the passwd,
        I'm getting an LDAP passwd change prompt--but only once: if I type
        passwd again, I get the Unix passwd change prompt.  In any case,
        it won't accept my old passwd nor allow me to change the passwd.

8/24    Anybody experiencing login authentication problems?  I cannot login
        using my login and passwd thru ssh on the SECOND attempt and on:
        ie, when I do ssh csua, it works once, but not afterwards.
        Then when I do ssh http://csua.berkeley.edu, it works once, but not afterwards.
        I can STILL login when I use a machine that use ssh authorized public
        keys (with the ssh passwd), but not the unix login/passwd.

8/7     I'm trying to figure out whether it's possible for get wget to
        authenticate to a web page protected by a login form ('post'
        method to send username/pass, and cookies.)  Cookies don't seem
        to be the problem, with --save-cookies and --keep-session-cookies
        but getting the username/password submitted isn't doing it.  On
        this particular page, getting to a link, let's say 'example.aspx',

The project would involve revamping the email system by building a worldwide database of digital domain name "keys" - a string of characters associated with a domain. Under the proposal, email messages would be automatically signed by the email server from which they are sent. Using a cryptographic scheme known as public key cryptography the receiving server could then check to see if the message really came from a valid system. However, the plan is provoking a mixed response from internet experts. Similar schemes have been suggested in the past but Yahoo is the first major email provider to endorse such an approach. But technical experts were also cautious about its chances of success.

But he adds that MessageLabs would be willing cooperate because it could at least reduce such forgery. Missives advertising everything from Viagra to stationery have become an enormous nuisance for internet users around the world. Up to half of all email messages are now thought to be spam. There is also strong evidence that spammers are using computer viruses to send out spam and also attack anti-spam servers with floods of bogus network traffic.
