Re: Linux infected ?

2009-01-29 Thread Ralph Jenkin
Am I the only one thinking; "Wine can actually manage to get infected by 
malware now? Cool." Props to those guys for their hard work implementing the 
Win32 API so completely. Last time I tried testing that (in a quarantined 
sandbox) it was an insta-crash. That was a few years ago, admittedly.

Mind you, it because of users like this that I run ClamAV on all incoming 
email. Haven't had to berate anyone for trying open something 
like "britney.zip" or in this case something that ends in .com because it 
sounds like it's probably a website for years. Props to the ClamAV guys too.

Re: cflows and debian

2004-02-08 Thread Ralph Jenkin
I don't know of any cflowd packages, but from what I can tell cflowd is dead 
(or at least quite dormant) upstream (last release Oct 2000).

When I was last monitoring flow data we changed over the software from cflowd 
to flow-tools, which is packaged in sarge/sid these days. This was mostly 
because cflowd had some bugs which presented themselves when used in 
combination with flowscan (a nifty flow analysing tool which is packaged for 
sid), and in lieu of any kind of fix in cflowd, flowscan's author recommended 
using flow-tools.

That said, I'm not sure if flow-tools can be made to do the flow aggregation 
that cflowd performs, so this may not be of much use to you.

Googling about it looks like Chris Cheney was talking about packaging arts++ 
and cflowd, but given he's now up to his armpits in maintaining KDE packages 
I guess that's probably not going to happen.

I'll stop rambling now I think...
