...ld be nice to know how we could get those systems to automatically announce themselves correctly. The nsswitch.conf file for these machines uses files first (local host table) then dns The primary IP addresses for these systems is in the local host table as are the hostnames for the 2nd NICs (i.e. samiam .vs. private-samiam) I think the samba "name resolve order" setting of "host wins bcast" means that I use the UNIX nameservice lookup first (as defined by nsswitch.conf), then ask the wins server, then broadcast for the information. I've told samba who the wins server is...

I am new to R. I want to graph group data using a "Traditional Bar Chart with Standard Error Bar", like the kind shown here: http://samiam.colorado.edu/~mcclella/ftep/twoGroups/twoGroupGraphs.html Is there a simple way to do this? So far, I have only figured out how to plot the bars using barplot. testdata <- scan(, list(group=0,xbar=0,se=0)) 400 0.36038 0.02154 200 0.35927 0.02167 100 0.35925 0.02341 50 0.35712 0.01968 25 0.353...

I was wondering if anyone here has or knows how to implement ttysnoop w/ssh ?

RedHat broke termcap on the 4.2 libtermcap security upgrade. Until RedHat gets a chance to fix it, fixed RPMS are here: http://linux.samiam.org/blackdragon - Sam (Who is just glad that RedHat continues to keep RedHat 4.2 current with security, even though it is an older distribution. In fact, their support is the best support I have seen for a legacy distro) "That which does not destroy me, makes me stronger" -- Nietzsc...

>From http://lwn.net/#security A vulnerability present in the SSH software package can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the SSH server. To protect against this, immediately upgrade to ssh 1.2.25. Red Hat ssh-1.2.25 RPMs are available, as is the Debian ssh-1.1.25 package for hamm (Debian 2.0-to-be). There are SSH 1.2.25 RPMs here:

I''m in the process of locking down as much of my systems here as possible as to available ports. I am down to only a handful but am not sure how much of a security risk they pose and was wondering if anyone here might be able to comment, or suggest secure versions to run: 21/FTP (WU-ftpd v2.4.2 BETA 14) 22/SSH (1.22) 23/TELNET (Netkit 0.09) 25/SMTP (Sendmail

This was posted not too long ago on sci.crypt... Enjoy... I think the most relevant information is near the top, but it''s all quite good... :-) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- There is no intrinsic difference between algorithm and data, the same information can be viewed as data in one context and as algorithm in another. Why then do so many people claim that encryption algorithms

There is no known fix to the F0 0F C7 C8 bug at this time. What can be done, however, is run a program, such as the script after my signature, to locate any and all such programs. This script can be used in single user mode after a mysterious lockup on a multiuser Pentium system. I hope it is possible to come up with a software fix for this problem. - Sam "You can...turn sadness into
