Months or years to get into the centimeter range.

Days to get in the 50 ft range, weeks to get into the 14 ft range.  
That's based on measurements.  And SA does *NOT* have an average value
of 0 even if you take a month's worth of data.  Try to depend on the
average and you will be screwed.  What you do is use the worse case 
error (over a couple of days) to create an area, then take the middle
of the area.  That will give you better results then an average (the
points within the volume will not be spread evenly so taking an 
average will result in an offset).

Indirectly; the actual differential GPS corrections provide pseudo-range
corrections.  That is, the difference between what the actual distance
to the satellite is at the reference station, and the distance you
derive from the signal after it's been degraded.  These days, thats
primarily ionospheric effects.

  This is what "Differential GPS" provides: a standard time source that
  can be used to remove the SA meanderings from the GPS fix.
 
 If I'm understanding this correctly (with very little actual research into
 it) is that a DGPS station essentially transmits the difference between
 what it "hears" as it's location and what it's actual measured location
 is

So far so good.  The DGPS transmitter transmits the 'error' offsets for
each satellite, along with timestamps so that each GPS receiver can apply the
differences to the signals it receives to correct for SA.

However, it means that you must been close enough to the DGPS receiver
so that both of you are receiving the same offsets.

Another way of doing DGPS correction can be done 'after the fact' with
certain receivers.  Basically, instead of saving the measured location,
these save the location received from each satellite into a logfile, and
then at some point in the future, this information along with the same
information from a DGPS unit is fed into a program to post-process the
received information to determine where a particular GPS unit was.

This is how the State of Montana maps it's highways.  They don't need
real-time information, but they can't afford to keep a DGPS unit near
the van driving down the road that is mapping the roads.  However, the
one problem with this approach is that if the 'receiver' is far enough
away from the DGPS receiver, the satellites it picks up are different,
and in some cases there is not enough overlap in satellites to get a
good enough fix.

 to the clients, which apply this change to their local "heard"
 position.  (Assuming that both sides are within the appropriate range of
 each other that allows them to hear the same satellites.)
 
 Do I have it about right?

On the money.

That's very different from what the GPS experts at SRI tell me.  They
start to average things out in a matter of hours, and within a week can
have it almost gone.  However, they're also using multiple satellites,
which allows them to more quickly find the center.

Re: Fw: Question about RAID solutions

2000-05-04 Thread Jim Flowers

I'm just starting to look at this.  The only hardware option appears to 
be dpt and then only for almost-obsolete modules.  Raid 5 for vinum 
requires a license at present.  It may not be what you want.

I am currently configuring a Raid 10 system with 4 - 4.5 GB scsi ultra 
drives.  That's two striped (0) and the two striped pairs mirrored (1).  
That gives 100% increment in read speed (can read both simultaneously) 
and redundancy (either pair continues to operate).  Drives have become so 
cheap Raid 5 just doesn't make sense to me.  White paper suggests that 
vinum will be considerably faster than Raid 5 hardware, too.

Seems easy to set up but as I say I am just starting to do it.  First I 
have to figure out why my Adaptec 2940U doesn't work.

It seems that there are several people that are quite knowledgeable about
GPS on this list.  What I'd like to know, is there any GPS mapping software
for FreeBSD?  Searching through ports for GPS finds dgpsip, but no other

 Okay, I think I know what the bug is.  This should have been
 fixed in -current by now, let me check to see if it's been merged
 into -stable...
 
 Nope.
 
 I just pulled it over from -current, so it should be in -stable
 as of now, and hopefully show up in your next cvsup.  Let me know
 if it doesn't fix the problem.

 If you are talking about scanning incoming email for viruses/scripts that

Yes, I was talking about virus scanning on behalf of Windows users.
Anyway, most files, emails, web pages are served or pass through

 It's pretty weak these days.  People in the past would have to learn

Re: IL0VEY0U worm (fwd)

2000-05-04 Thread Joe Abley

In the interests of putting the ILOVEYOU thread to death, here's a concise
description of the worm from bugtraq.

-- Forwarded message --
Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 11:09:32 -0700
From: Elias Levy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Subject: Re: IL0VEY0U worm

A quick update with some more information and quick fixes. I am reproducing
my original message in full bellow as some people are filtering messages
with a subject line of ILOVEYOU.

There is a good description of how to disinfect a system manually at
http://www.thepope.org/index.pl?node_id=140

skyinet.net seems to be off the net. It seems they are being blackholed
by someone.

The worm has a comment that may or may not indicate the author:

  rem barok -loveletter(vbe) i hate go to school
  rem by: spyder / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / @GRAMMERSoft Group / Manila,Philippines

I did not make it clear, but the worm does infect files in mapped
network drives, so it can spread across the network via file shares
by infecting the files I reported. When someone opens those files
the worm will execute and infect their system.

It seems the WIN-BUGFIX.exe file will email any cached passwords to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

To stop the spread download updates for your antivirus product
for your vendor. They all have some type of fix by now, but most
antivirus vendor websites seems to be unavailable under the
high load. Some I could reach:

NAI: http://download.mcafee.com/extrafiles/love-4.zip
Datafellows: http://www.datafellows.com/download-purchase/updates.html
TrendMicro: http://www.antivirus.com/download/pattern.asp
Sophos: http://www.sophos.com/downloads/ide/index.html#loveleta

You should also not open visual basic attachments in email (.VBS),
not accept DCC's on IRC from strangers (or friends for that matter)
unless you known what you are receiving.

If you control your mail server you should try to configure it to
stop messages with attachments ending in .vbs. There seems to be
some patches to sendmail from when Melissa came out that does this.
You may also want to filter all email going out to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and stop the download of WIN-BUGFIX.exe in your HTTP proxy.


* Elias Levy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [000504 17:02]:
 A new VB worm is on the loose. This would normally not be bugtraq
 material as it exploits no new flaws but it has spread enough that it
 warrants some coverage. This is a quick and dirty analysis of what it does.

 The worm spreads via email as an attachments and via IRC as a DCC download.

 The first thing the worm does when executed is save itself to three
 different locations. Under the system directory as MSKernel32.vbs and
 LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs and under the windows directory as
 Win32DLL.vbs.

 It then creates a number of registry entries to execute these programs
 when the machine restarts. These entries are:

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MSKernel32
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\Win32DLL

 It will also modify Internet Explorer's start page to point to a web page
 that downloads a binary called WIN-BUGSFIX.exe. It randomly selects between
 four different URLs:

 
http://www.skyinet.net/~young1s/HJKhjnwerhjkxcvytwertnMTFwetrdsfmhPnjw6587345gvsdf7679njbvYT/WIN-BUGSFIX.exe
 
http://www.skyinet.net/~angelcat/skladjflfdjghKJnwetryDGFikjUIyqwerWe546786324hjk4jnHHGbvbmKLJKjhkqj4w/WIN-BUGSFIX.exe
 
http://www.skyinet.net/~koichi/jf6TRjkcbGRpGqaq198vbFV5hfFEkbopBdQZnmPOhfgER67b3Vbvg/WIN-BUGSFIX.exe
 
http://www.skyinet.net/~chu/sdgfhjksdfjklNBmnfgkKLHjkqwtuHJBhAFSDGjkhYUgqwerasdjhPhjasfdglkNBhbqwebmznxcbvnmadshfgqw237461234iuy7thjg/WIN-BUGSFIX.exe

 I've not been able to obtain copy of the binary to figure out what it does.
 This does mean the worm has a dynamic components that may change its
 behavior any time the binary is changed and a new one downloaded.

 The worm then changes a number of registry keys to run the downloaded binary
 and to clean up after itself.

 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\WIN-BUGSFIX
 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Start Page
 about:blank

 The worm then creates an HTML file that helps it spread,
 LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.HTM. This is the file DCC'ed to others on IRC.

 The worm then spreads to all addresses in the Windows Address Book by
 sending the file LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs as an attachment. The
 email starts:

   kindly check the attached LOVELETTER coming from me.

 Then the virus searches for attached drives looking for files with
 certain extensions. It overwrites files ending with vbs, and vbe.
 It overwrites files ending with js, jse, css, wsh, sct, and hta, and
 then renames them to end with vbs. It overwrites files ending with jpg
 and jpeg and appends .vbs to their name. It finds files with the name
 mp3 and mp3, creates vbs files with the same name and sets the hidden
 attribute in the original mp* files.

 The it looks for the mIRC

One NFS cookie question

2000-05-04 Thread Zhihui Zhang


I have one question regarding the usage of NFS cookies.  I read the
following passage in the mailing list archive:



The BSD code simpy re-reads all of the directory blocks until it
hits the right offset again whenever it gets NFSERR_BAD_COOKIE. However,
suppose you have a directory of 3 blocks. You read the first block.
Your offset is now at the end of the first block. You delete all the
files in the first block. You want to read the 2nd block. You get
BAD_COOKIE. So then you start again from the beginning, until you
are at the wanted offset. However, the first block has disappeared now,
so your offset lands you at what was originally the 3rd block. You've
missed the 2nd block entirely.

---

Is this problem solved or not in FreeBSD 4.0-Release?

~24 hours to get 1 cm accuracy with tweaked gear with SA enabled.

 He estimates that now it would take about 6-10
 minutes to do the same thing since SA is turned off.

Wow, that's even faster than I thought it would take, since you've still
got ionosphere noise, which is harder to 'average out'.

In any case, this discussion has been a refreshing and enjoyable change
from some of the others on the mailing lists. :)

Re: 3Com's all-in-one XJack modem/NIC

 I'm wondering if anyone has had luck with 3Com's new PC Card
 http://www.3com.com/mobile/pccards/3cxfem656c.html, it's feature the
 famous XJack connector along with 'autosencing technology' to determine it
 the cable is ethernet or modem, hmm.  Also it apprantly flashes or some
 for status.  I didn't see it menitoned on PAO (speaking of which, when can
 we expect 4.0-RELEASE PAO floppies?).  Thx.

I don't think there will be any 4.0-PAO floppies. We are busy merging PAO
into the main FreeBSD repository. As of recently, there have been a number
of MFPAO3's and newcard commits by Iwasaki-san and Warner Losh.

If the 3CXFEM656C is a Cardbus card (as I assume based on the last alpha
character in its name), then you'll have to wait until we have Cardbus code
in the tree (which MAY be in by 4.1, but more likely 4.2).

However, if it's anything like the other 3Com cards, writing the actual
driver will be easy (what's needed at this point is the base code for
pccard + cardbus).

So, as soon as we get done with the base code, I'm sure that if someone
loans a 3CXFEM656C card, a driver will be written.

  Nope -- it was a genuine virus copy, self-replicating through

2000-05-04 Thread Guardian Hades

FUCK OFF

One guys spams a few mailinglists, and a bunch of
shit-for-brains can't stop responding to it.
The last one was really 'insightful': sending a mail
to seven mailing lists saying that he agrees and that
the list is about linux, not about some spammer

The amount of spam on the cypherpunk list never
bothered me much, and I think most of the
cypherpunkers feel this way (hey, if you don't know
how to filter your mail, what are you doing on a
mailinglist anyway). That people are too stupid
however to even look at where they are sending their
stupid complaints to, really gets on my tits. I have
already six email addresses of people who are NOT on
the cypherpunk list, and if I get one more, I will
register him on every fucking spoofable subscription
shit I can find.

KEEP IT ON YOUR OWN LIST, MORONS!

 This was with SA. 

The difference is the "commercially available hardware." The more
seperate signals you can discriminate with a given receiver, the faster
you can zero in on accuracy.
