Hi, Has anyone gotten the "roughcuts" of the Ruby and Rails cookbooks? If you have the Pragmattic Rails Cookbook is the O''Reilly worth it? Also can you download PDF''s of their "roughcuts". The website is kind of vague, it just mentions online access (whatever that means). Thanks in advance.

Not sure if this is old news or not, but it would appear that both the Ruby Cookbook and a Rails book are now available for purchase at O''Reilly Rough Cuts (something akin to PragProg''s beta book program): http://rubyurl.com/nHz http://my.safaribooksonline.com/?mode=roughcuts&srchtext=ROUGHCUTS I haven''t tried them yet, but it definitely seems worth checking out.

Subject says it all. Anybody taken a look yet? http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/railsckbk/?CMP=ILC-GG7423313304&ATT=railsckbk After buying the Ruby Cookbook and the other Rails book, I''m pretty gunshy about another Rough Cuts purchase. Sean

Please excuse me for mailing you directly instead of using the 'sendbug' facility; it seems to be an OpenBSD-only facility, and I didn't see a bug-tracking interface on the web site. I know the "UseLogin" feature is deprecated (to some degree, at any rate), however, on a Red Hat 6.2-based system, it is broken, because ssh.h statically defines LOGIN_PROGRAM as /usr/bin/login,
