it's too bad openSSH hasn't implemented forcing password AND key
authentication ala SSH2. I'm waiting for the day they do (but not

That's because LaTeX's defaults look better than Word's defaults, and
it's tougher to change them. So when people don't bother to change them,
their papers look good.

To be honest, I'm not convinced it is necessary.
RSA keypair challenge checks:
Is the client connecting from a approved machine (as proven
by reverse dns at the server, which the server can check
against it's $USER/.ssh/known_hosts)?
Is the client is using a valid key (again, compare
against entries in $USER/.ssh/known_hosts)?
and did the client successfully completes the asymetric key
challenge (ie: does he have the correct passphrase for the
secret key)?
If all three steps are sucessfull, then the client has both
identified and authenticated. I don't see how you need any more
than that.
Adding an 8-character password does not add very much security
anyway. If someone managed to brute force his secret key, then
they have sufficient resources to make short order of an
8-character unix password.
Check out the diceware homepage (I can't remember the url, check
your favorite engine), for a long drawn out discussion of
passphrase/password entropy.
- From a pure security standpoint, yes, RSA + password is better,
but I'd argue that it's redundant.

Subject: Re: Corel Install Just Dies
Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 11:51:15 GMT
Lonni,
Thank you for your response, but to tell the truth, the last thing
I expected to be the cause of the problem was my hardware and figured
the problem was probably software related.
I used partition Magic to set up an area of free space on the drive
as recommended by Corel and I thought another cause of my problem may
have been that I had set up the partition wrong. That said, Windows
boots nicely and when I use Partition Magic to look at the drive all
looks well.
In any case, I have a Gateway 2000 with a 266 mhz Pentium II which
I bought directly from Gateway and have added no additional hardware.
With regard to getting help, I figured that with Corel being a
fairly popular distribution of Linux someone else probably had the
same/similar problem and has already gone through the misery of
finding an answer. I am now on day 4 of waiting for an answer from
the Corel help desk. Interestingly, I bought Corel because of their
proposed merger with Borland, a compay who's products I have used for
many years. It now seems that merger is off and if help doesn't come
soon I'm also out a couple of bucks as well. Such is life.
Thanks,
Tom

When people hear "server", they think "something running on a remote
computer." This is often true, but not in this case. The X-server runs
on your local computer and handles things like drawing lines, text, and
points on your screen. An X client can be running almost anywhere (on a
remote computer in Paraguay, on the machine 50 feet down the hall, or on
the same machine as the server) as long as it has a connection to the X
server and can tell the server to draw things on the screen. The only
special software that's required is an X server (Xfree86, AccelX, MiX, and
5 or 6 others), an X client (too many to list), and a fast network
connection if those 2 aren't on the same machine.

I did a update from 7.0 to 7.1 and the results were mostly painless.
The upgrade process is significantly slower than an entire install.
The upgrade on a PIII-450/128M took a bit over 3 hours, while an
entire install on a Celeron 433/64M took little over an hour.

The installer seems to ignore release numbers on RPM's, but uses the
packaging date of the RPM instead. What happened to me was that the
installer "upgraded" pan-0.8.0 to pan-0.8.0beta2, since the beta2 rpm
was packaged after the official 0.8.0 release rpm that I had built
myself. This was the only error that I could find with the upgrade
process.

The only thing I had to tidy up had to do with the KDE menus. Mandrake
has gone with the Debian style menu updating with release 7.1, this
has the advantages of keeping all menus the same across all window
managers & desktops. The downside was was that all the settings that I
had configured were lost. It took a few hours to get things back to
the way things were before, but this was a fairly minor issue. Anyway,
I like things the new way much better, even if the menu configuration
process is now a bit awkward.

Glimpse (which stands for GLobal IMPlicit SEarch) is a very popular
UNIX indexing and query system that allows you to search through a
large set of files very quickly. See the glimpse home pages
in http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/
Glimpse is also available for web sites, as a set of tools called
WebGlimpse. See http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu/webglimpse/ for more

You'll have to be more detailed: what kind of memory (RAM or drives)
and how remote (on a fast network or not)?

Windows does not understand the partition type for Linux, so it just
ignores it.
Linux can understand the Windows partition type, and can bothe read
and write to it.
There is some windows software out there called explore2fs or
something similar, that can read but not write to the Linux partition.

I don't knoiw why I didn't see the thing in the MAN page earlier. I
must have been through that page about a dozen times. I guess it was
farther than I had looked.
Anyway, I can't see anywhere in there about how to specify the
resources when I start xterm. I saw the -xrm option but I'm not sure
how to present the resource string. Would it be "xterm -tn vt320 -xrm
printerAutoClose=true"? I tried that and it didn't fix the problem. I
there a xterm configuration file where I can set resources? A good book
on this would be helpfull.
Thanks,
Steve
