Yes, the mail came from blueyonder, and the open relay is mail.pcc.edu.cn. That host is already listed as an open relay on ORDB.org: bash-2.05b$ host mail.pcc.edu.cn mail.pcc.edu.cn has address 211.65.116.10 bash-2.05b$ host 10.116.65.211.relays.ordb.org 10.116.65.211.relays.ordb.org has address 127.0.0.2 If you feel like getting a hold of them, send them here: http://www.mail-abuse.org/tsi/ar-fix.html#sendmail_8 Funny, though... the mail server is running a recent version of Sendmail. It shouldn't be an open relay unless they cocked up the config. Maybe they just don't know how to do SMTP AUTH.

With auth, you grant explicit relay privileges only to the local network (or nowhere at all), and remote users only get the privilege if they authenticate themselves.

Your mail server identified mail.pcc.edu.cn as the previous hop, and you should be able to trust that. mail.pcc.edu.cn identified the blueyonder account as the previous hop to that.

Netstat is available in both Windows and Unix, though Linux's version provides a great deal more information than the standard BSD one (which is basically what you get with NT). Under Linux, one useful invocation is: netstat -tulnp This lists the (t)cp sockets and (u)dp sockets which are (l)istening, in (n)umeric format, and the (p)rogram that has the socket open. If a service is listening on 0.0.0.0, it's available to the world at large (unless firewall rules prevent it). On a normal desktop, which you don't need to access remotely, you can probably disable all listening services. The "p" option should help you figure out what services should be disabled. NT won't give you quite as much information, notably not the program listening to the socket. You might be able to find additional software that can give you that information, though. The problem that you were seeing is a result of NT's default setup listening to ports that it shouldn't on the internet in general. If a machine (NT or Unix) isn't listening to input from the network, there's a great deal less the network can do to it. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

In large part, I recommend that because PostgreSQL has a much more complete set of the SQL 92 spec than MySQL. Reflecting that, MySQL's documentation often uses non-ANSI standard constructs, even when MySQL supports the ANSI standard method. This leads to a lot of SQL code that doesn't port easily to other SQL servers. You might want to lay hands on O'Reily's "SQL in a Nutshell". It's pretty inexpensive, and it documents the ANSI standard, and several SQL servers implementations/deviations. As for speed: MySQL is fast for very small things. It's query compiler isn't as good as Oracle's or PostgreSQL's, so you tend to find that people doing complex projects get much better performance from PostgreSQL. > I thought PHP and Perl were html languages, but I guess they are a lot > more than that.

I think that everyone's really taking SCO's actions too far, including some of the individuals quoted in the article. The SCO group hasn't announced any intention of pursuing anyone except for some who are using the libraries from SCO Unixware. That's perfectly reasonable. If you are using their binary software without license, then they have every legal right (and moral right) to pursue you for license violation. If you're using their software, pay for it. It would be ridiculous for them to pursue violations in any GPL'd component of Linux, except possibly to have the code removed. As in the current situation with MP3 software, if patents or licenses would be imposed on the users/authors/distributors of GPL'd software, then the GPL does not allow that software to be distributed. In effect, if the SCO group were to attempt to collect license fees for any GPL'd software, they would (along with everyone else) lose the right to distribute that software. As Linux (and UnitedLinux) seem to still be a part of the SCO group's strategy, that would be a very stupid thing to do. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

When a release exists for the purpose of revenue generation or as part of a bit of demographic infighting, everybody loses. It's sad to see how prevalent MSing is becoming in the Linux namespace. Comparing Red Hat to MS is ridiculous. As far as I can tell, Red Hats latest decisions, for which they've taken so much heat, are all the result of actually listening to their customers. Bluecurve, for instance, began to solve the long lamented problem of Linux desktop apps lacking integration. This came up over and over again for *years* before Bluecurve was developed. And what did Bluecurve hurt? You can still pick your own visual themes... The new versioning seems like the ideal responce to the dual problem of new technologies taking too long to get into distribution, and old technologies being supported long enough for servers. Now Red Hat is separating their products into two lines, each one of which will address one of those two concerns. Red Hat Linux will get new technologies to users and developers quickly, while Red Hat Enterprise Linux will provide a stable platform for application vendors to target, and business customers to deploy for longer-term stability. Everyone has what they want, except for those who want the same old thing If you want the same old thing, run Slackware. It hasn't changed in YEARS. As a consequence, it's a damn pain to maintain.

I take offense to that, as a longtime slackware and redhat user, I find nothing hard about maintaining slackware in the least. This list is not the place for mudslinging. Maybe you haven't changed in years, but I would suggest you look over the software implimented in the new slackware 9.0, you might be surprised. :) I'm aware of Slackware's state. I find that people who become accustomed to a thing no longer think that it's hard. However, keeping a large farm of Slackware machines up to date is significantly more difficult than it is on any other common Linux distribution. On Debian, you can "apt-get upgrade" and be done. On Red Hat, you can do the same, or you can subscribe to RHN and get a web based view of all of your machines, discover where updates need to be applied and apply them. What has Slackware got that compares to that? Slackware's package management tool is basically the same today as it was 7 years ago (or more). Back then, it might have been acceptable, but today it is not. Package management software is expected to track dependencies to prevent you from installing something that isn't going to run (like an update to openssh that was built on a different version of openssl). Until such a thing is introduced, keeping a Slackware system up to date or installing new software on a Slackware system will be less reliable/simple than the same task on any other distribution.

That was not going to work out with the old release setup. They'd have ended up testing errata for as many as 6 platforms which would have resulted in longer time to errata (ever realize how long the non-Free Software competition takes?), and much higher costs to test and release errata. The new system makes sense from that point of view. I'm extatic. Consumers and developers will get their hands on new technology faster, and "Enterprise" customers will have a long-term stable platform. The base Red Hat product line (8.0, 9, whatever next) is no longer suitable for business or the average home user. You cannot expect a company or joe user to upgrade their operating system every year Then maybe they won't. These customers probably also aren't going to be running network services, and can afford to worry significantly less about security errata. If their systems "just work" then maybe they don't *need* to upgrade. Most of the users I know upgrade that often anyway, so I still don't see the problem the same way you do. If the new schedule gets consumers "cool" software sooner, I think that'll make most of them happy. (which is now necessary given the 12 month limit on bug/security fixes). It's not a 12 month limit. It's a 12 month guarantee. Read their policy again: Beginning with the 8.0 release, Red Hat will provide errata maintenance for at least 12 months from the date of initial release. So your average person at home now has a choice of Windows XP at $300 or Red Hat Enterprise Workstation at $300 ($60 a year after the first year for access to security fixes). Guess what, XP comes with full multimedia capabilities including MP3 and DVD, as well as a full range of software available for purchase including games, tax software, etc. Which would you choose? And by the way, so far at least Microsoft still offers free security fixes in the base price. Microsoft does not, however, provide their product for free. If Red Hat stopped offering FTP downloads, and *everyone* paid for the product, I think that free updates would be far more economically feasible. I'm happy to have one platform that I can give to my mom, Freely, and purchase for work and development use. If the free download edition disappeared someday, I'd probably use something else.

I recommended against upgrading our servers to 8.0. There's nothing wrong with that policy. I always use the last minor release of the last series (currently 7.3) on servers, so there's no pressure from any user or admin to upgrade because a new minor release was made. 7.3 is an excellent platform, and it will continue to be stable and supported for a long time coming. > If I > need to do it again for the next release, it's not gonna fly, we'll have to > either hack the hell out of the 7.3 boxes or switch distros. Why, do you operate under some sort of mandate that you must operate under the latest release? That's just a little bit ridiculous. Upgrading for the sake of the latest release, without some compelling reason only creates needless downtime. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Red Hat Linux includes redhat-config-packages, which will do what you want, but is limited to the CD's that you installed from. RHL also includes up2date, which wil ldo what you want, but is limited to networks servers that Red Hat operates. You can obtain "apt" and "synaptic" (gui for apt) from freshrpms.net, which will also do what you want. In addition to resolving dependencies among Red Hat's packages, they can fetch programs and resolve dependencies among additional apt servers. For instance, if you follow the directions here: http://gstreamer.net/releases/redhat/ you can install gstreamer and rhythmbox, and any dependencies they have from Red Hat Linux. > > I need it because I would to install the GNOME desktop manger on my linux > box, but > I think it requires a long list of rpms and I haven't any idea of which > ones are necessary > and in which order I should install them !!! :( > > Note: I have got only windowmaker as windows manager on my RH 8.0 (i386) > > Thank you :) > > > > > -- > Psyche-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

It was good enough to put a bunch of crap on one line that wasn't spaced
properly, and was otherwise completely unreadable. At the end, your
prompt would be *somewhere* on the terminal... When has it ever been
useful or acceptable to not generate newlines? Seriously, how could you
possibly make sense of this output (which you yourself suggest):
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{ARCH}"
It was never "good enough" before.

So would I... Disappointed that anyone who wrote a program that ran for
two weeks would a) write output to a terminal: the place it's MOST
LIKELY to be lost entirely, and b) didn't format the output to be
readable.
I'd probably be suspect enough to never trust the results enough to even
run the program a second time. "rm -rf piss-poor-program" :-)

Since the question was already answered, I'll suggest that when you direct your code to connect to the server, you simply do not provide a hostname. In this case, the SQL client will try to use the local UNIX socket, rather than TCP/IP. In this configuration, you do not expose the database server to remote network attacks. The default is ideal if you are running your SQL code and the server on the same machine. You should only turn on TCP/IP if you are actually querying the machine from a remote host. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

Yes, it happens when users don't log out properly, or don't log out at all. For instance, if a user is logged in on a text console, and a second user logs in to X, the second user does not get ownership of the files. Also, if a user logs in to X, and then uses a three finger salute (CTRL+ALT+Backspace) to log off, he'll maintain ownership of the files. It's not pretty.

So... why is it not working for you? I dunno. Try running "rpmbuild -bb php.spec" until it runs the configure script. Then, CTRL+C to stop the build, copy the configure line, and run the script yourself with debugging. That is: cd /var/tmp/BUILD/php- sh -x ./configure . > configure.debug 2>&1 That will run through the configure script and print all of the steps into the file configure.debug.

Re: ANSI graphics not displaying properly in 8.0
Well, where are you seeing the problem? Ncurses, for instance, works properly in a local gnome-terminal, xterm, and the system consoles. If you're seeing the problem on a remote terminal emulator, then you need to tell your terminal emulator that the RHL system is using a UTF-8 character set. When you tell your term the correct character set, ncurses (among other things) will display properly. If you're having a problem with some hokey application spitting out 8 bit characters on the system console, hoping that they'll form some fruity graphics, then maybe those applications need to be updated to UTF-8. In either of those cases, what you're seeing isn't a bug. It's a change that will be the case for future releases. The old, bad, behavior can be had by setting LANG to en_US in /etc/sysconfig/i18n.
