SATA Controller

by Eric Dondelinger

Hi, I've lately been thinking about adding a PCI (< 2.2) SATA Controller to one of my current machines (5 year old Athlon 800 on a VIA KT133 board), for future use as a fileserver (relegated to some place where the noise won't disturb anyone). Of course I'd add in something like 2-4 large (> 200GB apiece) SATA disks for that task. The boot drive would remain on the current SCSI-based setup, so there won't be any issues with bootability from that new drive system. Obviously, that thing must be able to work with Linux, using free drivers. I don't necessarily need RAID functionality, as that can be covered by software RAID. I *do* want that tagged command queueing functionality, which is still only optional in SATA (unlike SCSI), but which makes all the difference in performance for concurrent access to the disks. So, can anyone recommend any specific products, preferrably not overly expensive, but reliable ones? TIA, Eric P.S. No, I'm not going to shell out big ¤¤¤ on huge SCSI drives ;-)

ncpmount

by Alex Loes

Hi I have difficulties to mount my home on novell server. ncpmount works fine, Whats my Problem is the passwdfile=... option. This doesn't work. I try the command: incpmount -o passwdfile=/home/alex/.pw -A <server>... .pw is Server/al:password but I get the error message: ncpmount: Unknown user (0x89FC) in find_conn_spec. When I try directly with the -P and -U options, all works fine, even in fstab. But I won't use it, since my password is clearly visible for everyone. I don't know what to do next. Any ideas?? Thanx Al

for a depressing read in german...

by Eric Dondelinger

Hi, http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/technologie/0,1518,347080,00.html http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/technologie/0,1518,347074,00.html I just got to read these in Spiegel Online. It makes one wonder... I sure found a lot of factual errors in there. Somewhat better: http://www.manager-magazin.de/it/cebit/0,2828,344582,00.html Greets Eric

Request for help

by Pascal Steichen

Hi all, As most of you might know I'm working at the mineco where we have a very nice project called CASES (http://www.cases.lu/) about awarenesss raising in IT security. We want to be vendor independant (legal obligation as government) and as such attach our best practices with "real life" examples. However at the moment we only have the M$ world represented (see http://www.cases.public.lu/pratique/solutions/index.html) still seeking for people providing use with screenshot procedures from the GNU/Linux world. For this we thought of using SUSE and a Fedora as model GNU/Linux systems. If anyone (or his company) here on the list would be interessted to do this job, we would be very glad ;) N.B.: However this will be a no-remuneration job, all we can provide is "advertising" via a CASES-partner thing ! So if one could do this on behalf of LiLux it would be great, cause then we (LiLux) would be linked on one of the biggest gov sites here in Lux ;) Hope you could tease some of you and I'm looking forward for proposals ;) ciao, -- Pascal Steichen pascal.steichen(a)lilux.lu Lilux ASBL http://www.lilux.lu/

GPL questions

by Paulo Ribeiro

Dear all, A collegue of mine came accross an application that uses openssl/gnupg (that's what the commercial told him). But on their website, we couldn't find anything related to the GPL or to openssl/gnupg. Also, the application isn't available for download. I have a few questions in regard to this. - Is this in agreement with the GPL? - Don't they have to mention they are using openssl? - In what extend can they use it and no more need to tell people about it? For example, if they modify the source can they redristibute without making their product availbe for download? Thanks for your answers :) Paulo __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
