Just to be sure, did you remember to do a

make modules_install
?
Once the modules are there in /lib/modules/release/ check that they are
listed in your /etc/modules file.

That said, you might still consider using pgp, as I believe it has the
ability to do symmetric encryption. Or, if you want *extremely* weak
security (but enough to confuse your kid sister) then check out the unix

Go to linuxdoc.org and look for a howto on ipchains. I think they gave
an example of UDP masquerading in there.

If you've got a nice network connection, you might be able to upgrade by
setting your sources list to the appropriate places and doing an
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
But I'm not an expert, so it would be good if someone who is could
comment.

Other recommendations on hardware testing appreciated.
I agree badblocks is probably the best, but you could also try bonnie
and bonnie++. If you want to check the health of sectors already
occupied by files, I suppose a
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null
wouldn't hurt.

u want to have as little on your path as possible (to avoid

You should behave in this manner anyway. A compromised user account is
destined to become a compromised root account. There are too many local
root exploits to ignore the danger.

e? Do you just want to save some time of a fsck and possible
reinstall? Then pull the IDE and power cables from your drive, wait 5
secs, then plug back in. The computer will do an IDE bus reset, and
then continue on where it left off. Worked for me once YMMV
Note: I'm not responsi
ssibility of treating some of your RAM like a
disk (hence the name ramdisk). Not sure if Linux can do this, but if
so, then just copy the binary to a ramdisk and run it from there.
Just an idea, I don't know how to do it or even if it can be done.

nt this, you
can try extracting the footer-related section from the letter class and
putting that in the g-brief class (or inputting it separately). If you
do this, just make a new class. I've done similar stuff with modifying
the seminar.cls style to get rid of borders, or modifying bib
ect yourself. If you're behind a firewall, this is less of an
issue, but layered security is still the way to go.
