Over the weekend one of our servers at a remote location was
hammered by an IP originating in mainland China. This attack was
only noteworthy in that it attempted to connect to our pop3 service.

Good morning!
I know I'm on the bleeding edge, but I'm having trouble getting
the 2.6.30-rc5 kernel to boot on my CentOS 5.3 box. It's a
dual-socket Nehalem box with the Tylersburg chipset (Supermicro
board). I installed CentOS 5.3 on it with no problems - boots and
runs fine. But I wanted to take

Hi!
I'm justing in the process of setting up a new fileserver for our
