osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=292698
We proudly present the immediate availability of the second milestone
release of osCommerce 2.2, which is on demonstration at the LinuxTag
2003 event in Karlsruhe, Germany. The Milestone 2 release contains
numerous updates to strengthen the security on both client and server
side of operations. osCommerce, formerly titled The Exchange Project,
is a feature packed out-of-the-box online shop ecommerce solution for
both PHP3 and PHP4 web servers. Maintenance is made easy with a
friendly GUI thats given to the Administration Tool. The "Security and
Privacy Proposal" was realized to strengthen security on the client
side, whos main purpose is to protect the clients session ID. This
includes a 'force cookie usage' feature which prevents the session ID
from appearing on the url, a feature to prevent search engine spiders
from generating session IDs which were stored as part of their index,
and client IP address, browser (user agent), and secure session ID (for
SSL servers) verification. The "Strip and Parse Proposal" and security
audit updates were realized to strengthen the security on the server
side, which includes parsing all user input for storage and display
purposes, and having removed most PHP notice messages when error
reporting has been set to 'E_ALL'. Numerous layout changes have also
been made throughout the Catalog to improve the user interface and
experience for the customer, and the Installation and Update module has
been updated with a new theme layout for a more simplified procedure
for store administrators. Shared SSL servers are now properly
supported, with the possibility to fine tune session and cookie related
parameters for both normal HTTP server and secure HTTPS servers. We'd
like to thank the community for the continuing support, with each
Milestone release more exciting than the last release, we look forward
to bringing you the remaining Milestone releases that will lead to a
finalized and rock solid 2.2 release. A complete feature guide for
osCommerce 2.2 will be presented when osCommerce 2.2 is finalized and
released to the public. The latest milestone releases can be downloaded
at: http://www.oscommerce.com/downloads/milestones The public Workboard
is available at: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/workboard Keeping
up to date with the projects progress can be done via the Weekly
Summary reports at: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/weekly This
announcement can be discussed at the community support forums here:

UCB Researchers Critique DRM, Compulsory Licensing
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/14/2312227
An anonymous reader writes " In [0]this paper, Berkeley researchers
critique a host of cockamamie DRM schemes, and they also question the
[1]compulsory licensing approach recently being promoted by the EFF.
They get into some of the practical details about compulsory licensing
that no one else seems to be talking about like technical feasibility,
incentives to cheat, monitoring for compliance, efficiency of
collection and distribution of funds, privacy, fair use, feasibility of
legal enforcement... Anyway, it's worth a read and is a useful
contribution to the debate, whatever side you're on. "

Funding Open Source?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/13/2040241
One of the beautiful things about Open Source is that the barriers to
entry are next to non-existent, and the adage "have compiler, will
travel" embodies this fact well enough. However, as projects grow in
size, they will soon face financial stumbling blocks, not to mention a
need for increased visibility. How does one best market an Open Source
project? What can Joe (or Joni) Coder do to increase their project's
financial stability? Have the financially minded people of the Free
Software community thought out the possibility of an Open Investment
firm? Read on for Slashdot readers who are asking these exact
questions!
The Near-Term Future Of Open Source Desktops
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/14/2151256
[0]securitas writes "eWEEK has two related articles on the growth of
open source software. The first article is about the [1]growth of
desktop Linux, featuring Lotus and the [2]Open Source Applications
Foundation (OSAF) founder [3]Mitch Kapor, who says (among other things)
that call centers will be where the next wave of growth for desktop
Linux happens and that 10 percent of global desktops will be Linux in a
few years. He bases his statements on a report by Eazel and GNOME
Foundation co-founder Bart Decrem entitled [4]'Desktop Linux Technology
and Market Overview' (PDF) mentioned [5]last week. The second story is
about [6]open source software growth in the government sector where
government agencies like the U.S. Census Bureau have embraced OS
software for projects like the [7]State and County QuickFacts site.
Based on Perl, Apache, MySQL and Linux, the site gets 200,000 page
views a day."

Low Power FM Report Rejects Interference Concerns
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/14/1657225
[0]akb writes "Back in 2000, Slashdot covered [1]the Low Power Radio
setback by Congress, detailing a law which gutted an [2]FCC initiative
that would have created thousands of Low Power FM radio stations
(LPFMs). Congress overruled the FCC, ostensibly because of interference
concerns, and cut the number of stations from thousands to a few
hundred, with hardly any in urban areas. A concession was made to allow
a study of the interference caused by LPFMs, and that report has
[3]been released. The verdict: 'Based on the measurements and analysis
reported herein, existing third-adjacent channel distance restrictions
should be waived to allow LPFM operation at locations that meet all
other FCC requirements, [with the exception of several minor technical
requirements]'. There's [4]more coverage at [5]DIYmedia.net"

Filesharing Traffic Drops After RIAA Threats
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/14/2046241
[0]bryan writes "According to CNN, facing the threat of lawsuits from a
music industry trade group, [1]fewer people are using online
filesharing applications to swap songs. Internet audience measurement
service Nielsen Net Ratings said traffic on Kazaa, the leading
filesharing platform, fell 15 percent in the week ended July 6 from the
previous week. It was during that prior week, on June 25, that the
Recording Industry Association of America said it would track down the
heaviest users of "peer-to-peer" services like Kazaa and sue them for
damages of up to $150,000 per copyright violation." This follows
earlier reports, from the filesharing companies themselves, that
[2]traffic was actually increasing.

Funding for TIA All But Dead
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/07/14/1836247
Shackleford writes "Wired has an article saying that the Terrorism
Information Awareness program, which would troll Americans' personal
records to find terrorists before they strike, may soon face the same
fate Congress meted out to John Ashcroft in his attempt to create a
corps of volunteer domestic spies: [0]death by legislation. The
Senate's $368 billion version of the 2004 defense appropriations bill,
released from committee to the full Senate on Wednesday, contains a
provision that would deny all funds to, and thus would effectively
kill, the Terrorism Information Awareness program, formerly known as
Total Information Awareness. TIA's projected budget for 2004 is $169
million."

2.0 with fixes. It was made to create RHIDE, a nice IDE for gcc and
other GNU compilers. The library supports /dev/vcsa devices for fast
access to local consoles, and it uses ncurses to run from telnet and
xterm. This port, in contrast to the Sigala's port, doesn't have
"100% compatibility with the original library" as goal.
Instead, many modifications were made for the sake of security
(especially buffer overflows). This port is also available for the
original platform (DOS).
uClinux 2.5.75-uc0 (2.5.x)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/129203/

It brings a full featured operating system onto platforms that would
otherwise run less advanced, simpler operating systems. uClinux gives

of MMU (Memory Management Unit), and in terms of code size and
efficiency it has an advantage over standard Linux.

Slashcode
So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1816237
All things come to an end and its been a wonderful ride. Today is my
last day at OSDN and this will be the last thing I will be posting on
Slashcode. It has been fun working on Slash for the last few years and
I have enjoyed working with the Slash community (tf32, ACS, vladinator,
ericdano, and many more that I am forgetting). On Monday I start work
for MySQL so I will be a bit busy for a while but I expect you will
still see Slash stuff coming from me in the future. I will continue to
be in #slash for a while, and you can still always reach me via email.
The best of luck with you and your sites, it has been great!
Spottedrabbit.com
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1756251
After much kicking and screaming, yet another Slash Site! The Spotted
Rabbit with news and events for Sussex County NJ, and Orange County,
NY. It still looks a lot like basic slash, but I'm new to this, and
we're working on it! --Ken Hall
Multiple Instances
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/10/1543202
Please indulge a beginner. I currently have slashcode setup on a single
domain with its own IP address (wwwntm.biz) for testing purposes. Here
is my dilemma. I am setting up a community similar to yahoo/geocities.
It will be www.newthoughtcommunity.net and the individual communities
will be sub-domains of this domain ex;
community1.newthoughtcommunity.net, community2.newthoughtcommunity.net
etc Residents of the communities will be set up as users ex;
http://community1.newthoughtcommunity.net/user1,
http://community1.newthoughtcommunity.net/user2 etc. Directory is:
/home /newthoughtcommunity /community1 /community2 I know that slash
can be setup with virtual domains, but can sub domains have there own
instance. I need each community to have their own slash. Also. When I
set up a new instance of slash for a virtual domain, do I use the same
database and administrator with a new virtual user when I run
DBI::Password? Thank you for any help you can offer John --John Macuga
section as subdomain (2.2.5 based install)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/06/1444236
Hello, I have a slashcode version 2.2.5(*) based site under my command,
for which an extension is planned, that would fit well in an isolated
(isolate=1) section with a few modified templates put in the
section-page (like header;etc;default). I managed to configure a second
virtual host that uses the same SlashVitualUser directive as the
main-server with the sectionname as subdomain (etc.myslash.company),
overriding the rootdir-variable using SlashSetVar and enforcing the
section using SlashSetForm: SlashSetVar rootdir //etc.myslash.company
SlashSetForm section etc Everything works fine so far... I just
wondered if it is safe to use the same slash-site (db and all) within
two virtual-hosts. And I wondered the more if there isn't an easier way
to accomplish this. As far as I understood mod_perl there shouldn't be
any problem, but asking the masters seldom hurts but the professional
pride... * I did fix the released security-holes!. tia,kind regards
tomte
Barrapunto.com see the light with 2.2.6
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/03/150251
It has been hard, but after playing a little with all the
configuration, we have reached a good balance in Barrapunto.com and now
our users are very happy, the journals start to be filled with contents
and the editors now are more active. We feel that the key was to serve
the images from a differente machine, something that points to
saturation in the connections for our main machine. Now the performance
is very good with 70.000 pages/day and a PIII with 1 GB RAM with Slash
and MySQL and a simple PC serving the images.
Translation Guide?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/01/198224
Is there any guide on how to translate slashcode (interface, at least
the one seen by the users) to some other language? Is the slashcode
written so that can be easily translated to some other languages (UTF-8
not required) ? Thanks!
Yet Another Security Site
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/26/174230
YASS should probably stand for "Yet another Security Site" LOL. I've
been playing around with slash for about a week now, and finally have
the beginnings of a site running. Feel free to pop in, drop some
comments, break stuff and generally see what goes. The more
participation I see, the more work I'll put into making it a nice site.
A good name might help... now there's an idea for a poll.
Democracy Now!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/22/176211
Democracy Now! a U.S. based morning TV and radio news program launched
it new site, based on a heavily modified cvs version of slash. (Hacked
together and hosted by openflows.) As they become more comfortable with
the system, and people on staff there get the hang of how slash works,
we hope to add in the more community/interactive features of slash. For
now it is simply a content management system, in the future it will
become much more. In just the first few days the traffic and audience
response has been overwhelming. stats from the second day the site was
live: IPIDs Pages 11193 55190
Advice on setting up a new site
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/20/1512203
I am trying to use Slash to set up an events-based discussion forum.
Ideally I'd like it to be hosted by a turn-key hosting company with
fairly punctual customer support. My internet connections are either
behind a firewall or 56k modem, so speedy shell access is out of the
question. Ideally the host would be friendly towards freedom of
information and healthily disrespectful of authority (the site will NOT
contain anything illegal, links or insight to anything illegal, but
will be acting against the policy of a well-funded British institution
whose ground-floor members support and are behind it). I would rather
the host didn't drop me just because 'someone' asked them to. Who would
you recommend for this? I'd like to modify Slash slightly by arranging
it around the date of the event, rather than the posting date. Would it
be as simple as an extra data entry and changing a couple of lines of
code, or would that go against everything Slash is designed to do?
Thanks for your help.
Request for BLOB/Image Modifications
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/11/2227225
I'm really happy with how the BLOB support in slash is working. I can
now add images and files, and I move the select level up so registered
users can only access files. It's great. I'd like to see how hard it
would be to have Krow or someone add in placement tags for images. So
you can "ALIGN=LEFT" or Right images and the like. Thanks!
