Security for Network
by djgoku 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Today at work we are having problems with "Viruses/spyware/stuff" and I am wondering what I could setup in linux to say passive/active scanning a network for viruses/spyware/stuff. And stuff that looks for viruses/spyware/stuff trying to connect to ports it shouldn't be. A packet sniffer would probably be one thing, my I don't know enough about tcp/ip/udp/stuff to work it and understand what it is showing me. I guess I might have to start reading up on packet sniffing. So tools I think might be good ethereal, snort, nmap. Thanks, JtotheO -- dj_goku -www.djgoku.com- -www.tektronic.org-

RE: Flat Earther Society and Dante

Doh! I always get these two authors confused. ;') Washington Irving <> Dante Alighieri Washington Irving in 1828 published a fictional tale of Columbus' voyage. "History of the Life and Voyages of Christopher Columbus" In case anyone was gnawing in suspense. ;') > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Densmore > > I never said it was "The Divine Comedy" by Dante. > I also don't remember where I saw the story noting > the exact fiction supposedly responsible for the myth. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Dustin Decker > > Subject: Flat Earther Society and Dante > > > > > > > > If one reads "The Divine Comedy" (The work by Dante Alighieri > > cited in this > > post) you will find this is not true. >

I never said it was "The Divine Comedy" by Dante. I also don't remember where I saw the story noting the exact fiction supposedly responsible for the myth. Also, note that the "people in Columbus' time thought the Earth was flat" myth is a recent invention. Probably dates to the 19th century and the Flat Earth Society. I don't know for certain, when it came about. Might make an interesting Linux webcrawling macro. [This is not to say that in all the ages there were not proponents of a Flat Earth model, hell someone even proposed the Earth was a trapezoid. They just weren't the predominant belief, after Pliny proved the Earth was spherical that is.] > -----Original Message----- > From: Dustin Decker > Subject: Flat Earther Society and Dante > > > > If one reads "The Divine Comedy" (The work by Dante Alighieri > cited in this > post) you will find this is not true.

Got it. Chuckled. Didn't need comment. Sco isn't a caldera, it's a pimple. A very annoying persistent pimple, that will eventually be obliterated with medication.

Did anyone get my thinly-veiled humor directed at SCO and company? Sometimes I wonder. Brian Kelsay >>> "Brian Densmore" <> 10/19/04 10:46AM >>> The next time Yellowstone erupts, New Orleans will be 5 inches deep in ash. Imagine 2500 Mt St. Helen's eruptions simultaneously. But it hasn't erupted like that in 600,000 years. Last eruption was 70,000 years ago. I'd be more worried about Mt St. Helen's which is N.

Charity needs help selling off computer equipment
by Leo Mauler 19 Oct '04

I don't like spam, and I'm only mentioning this because many of you may benefit from it. The Community and Senior Service Center at 67th & Nieman Rd. (behind StoneBridge Wines & Fine Foods) in Lenexa, KS, gets a lot of donated computer hardware. I volunteer my time there testing most of the equipment they get, so I know most of what they have works. Everything I test gets a price label with information as to whether or not it works and how well it works. Anyway, they don't have a lot of space to store anything, and they have quite a lot of computer equipment which needs to go to people who need it. If any of you need things like monitors and keyboards, you should come by and check them out. Due to the lack of space most are priced to sell quickly. Used Monitors 14" and 15" go for $10 usually, sometimes a little higher but most of them are $10 right now. Used Keyboards, AT & PS/2, go for $3 each. Used Inkjet printers are $10. We're pricing all the miscellaneous cables, power, printer, whatever, at $1 each for a few more weeks. And for those of you wanting to do a little extremely low end experimenting, there are some 386 and 486 machines lying around for $3-$5 each (if nothing else, consider them a $3 used floppy drive). There's even one used Pentium 100Mhz with a CDROM! (ooooo!) Don't mind the duct tape on the cases, its crude security to keep the folks who open cases from stealing the RAM, CDROM drive, floppy drive, etc., then closing the case and walking away. Had two computers which were rendered nearly useless from that last week. So come on down, buy some hardware. All the food is free (1 sweet item per person) and sometimes they have fresh vegetables too. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: BitTorrent + INDUCE Act + Linspire 5.0

Forwarded for your viewing pleasure: Commas added, spaces killed. And again, no. It was John Bigboote and Lord John Worphin. Yoyo Ma had no connection to Yoyodyne or Buckaroo Banzai. An yes, Yoyo Ma is a cellist, and a damn good one. A cello is related to a violin, at least. I was distracted. Read on. > Oren Beck wrote: > >> Monty J.

As in, "wherever you go, there you are." The back to topic being, Yoyodyne has been used as a foo in .nix placeholder names. This lineage of humor has more grounding in objective realities than INDUCE does. The public perception sees Linspire, and the criminal aspects addressed by the misbegotten legislative FUD, as all one lump. Result being that, anti-copying/sharing legislation gets more good press than Buckaroo Banzai did. Hell folks, the logic used to assault our freedoms in ANY aspect of our mundane lives has begun to resemble the eighth dimension more than not. Sadly the unfunny part is that shite like INDUCE detracts from Linux as yet more FUD tarnishes Open Source. Every time another un-refuted salvo of FUD slimes Linux, and by extension all Open Source, it hurts our common cause. Anyone more able than I, at authoring some face-to-face verbal ammo to shoot down the fudmongers we encounter daily, is humbly begged to share it with us!

RE: Re: Help configuring procmail (was: Help configuring fetchmail)

Nope, that won't work for KCLUG mail. The "To:" field will not always, in fact hardly ever, have the proper recipient of the email. Hence, Matt's dilemma. You have to look at the crazy headers for KCLUG. I'd say he needs both of the approaches you stated. One filter by list and to by "To:". That *should* get most if not all filtered into his appropriate mailboxes. Now, I have to go to my server and play with some of these rules. ;') Brian > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremy Turner > > On Fri, October 15, 2004 11:36 am, linux(a)bizniche.com said: > > This is nearly what I'm looking to do.
