Aren't you giving up the the open source community help/experience too 
quickly? I do not know what your plans are but what about having it run on 
other HW architectures? And assuming that zope works on other OSs (does it?), 
are you going to test that too? Is your proj that good that it will be kept 
inside zope by the core zope developers without someone to make sure it will 
stay there?

Since you will not tell us all what is it about, can you reveal your 
estimation for the time the programmer will have to work on the proj? Will he 
be the only programmer working on this?

RH7.1 permissions on SWAP file

2001-04-21 Thread Eran Tromer

Hi list,

If you've upgraded to RedHat 7.1 and told the installer to increase your
swap space using a swap file (as opposed to swap partition):
Check the permissions on your swap file (e.g., '/SWAP'). 
If it's world-readable, you really want to 'chmod 600 /SWAP'

Please send me your results (off list), so I can add a report to the
relevant Bugzilla bug
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36992).

  Regards,
Eran Tromer

Re: Zope programmer STILL needed.

2001-04-21 Thread Reuven M. Lerner

Good programmers, no matter what the platform or language, cost a lot
of money.  This doesn't mean that the most expensive programmer is
necessarily the best one, but it's probably safe to say that someone
who charges $15/hour isn't as good as someone who charges $150/hour.

Also: The more unusual or advanced the platform, the harder it will be
to find people, and the more those people will charge.

Finding good, experienced Zope programmers for $15/hour thus strikes
me as laughably out of touch with reality.

There isn't any reason to think that free software is incompatible
with highly paid software engineers.  The "free" refers to what
happens after the software is written, not to the cost of producing
the software itself.  There are some open-source projects that run on
good faith and volunteerism alone, but most do not.  Who pays the
bills?  The folks who realize that programming is hard, and that good
programmers are expensive.  (And that bad programmers might seem
cheap, but will cost you so much in maintenance and instruction that
it's not worthwhile.)

Finally, a company that publicly promises to pay programmers under the
table doesn't strike me as one with whom I would want to do business.
(And yes, I contacted Nimrod about working with him on this project
when he originally wrote to linux-il.)

This is a major version upgrade. Isn't there any UPGRADE document or
something in the README about upgrading?

If not, then you can use the sample config files as a form of
documentation (at least the ones from samba are well-commented).

Actually you probably should somehow merge your old config into that
sample config (lasttime I upgraded squid I used emacs's ediff to merge my
config with the .rpmnew config)

(see below more about .rpmnew)

Did you give it SIGHUP again, or is this the kill -HUP you mention in your

This means that you have uninstalled all the packages, and then istalled
them. Also, if you had any package that depended on samba, it had to go as
well.

But you can Upgrade rpm packages, and keep part of your config.

  rpm -Uv samba-*.rpm

(or any other way. The thing is that you have to upgrade all the packages
in one rpm command, because rpm must keep the all the system's
dependencies after the command is excuted.

If you have changed any files of the package then they won't be lost
(unlike the case of rpm -e). If the files you have chaned was marked as a
config file, then the file replacing it from the new package will have a
rpmnew extention. 

If the file is not marked as a config file then then new file from the 
package will override your old copy. But your copy won't be lost: it will
be saved with the extention .rpmsave .

It is a good idea not to leave .rpmnew and .rpmsave files lying around in
your system, but to handle them immeditely (delete them, merge them,
whatever). It is also a good idea to run 'slocate rpmnew' and 'slocate
rpmsave' once in a while to see if you left such files.

huh?? I like KDE (and sometimes, depends how weak is the machine - Window

the most unstable thing in the Linux history. Sorry, it's from past 
experience, so don't start flame wars please.

I'll take Redhat 7.1 any day for both as a workstation or as a server. If I

That's bull. If you ask somebody to participate in OSS initiative, that's
one thing. If you ask somebody to be a paid employee, that's another
thing. I can donate some of my valuable time to worthy cause, like writing
OSS software, on the terms that I can do it whenever I want and whatever I
want and leave any moment. But that in no way means I want to work (be
employed) for free or will work on the wage that I consider not enough
compensation for my efforts. When I'm employed, I enter contractual
relationship and take on myself some responsibilities. It has nothing to
do with the fact that my employer gives away the product. Microsoft gives
away MSIE too, so do you expect MSIE team to have their wages halved
because of that?
