This was your mistake. The card works great, including 3d acceleration 
with the free driver that probably comes with your distribution. If it 
does not, upgrade your distribution to current version.

Re: Webmail like Gmail + encryption

2007-08-14 Thread Kfir Lavi
Hi Danny,
I want to encrypt inside company emails.
I thought about building a mail server with webmail and a plugin for
encryption.
Most of the use of the webmail interface will be from known computers.
The amount of emails will be at a hundreds.
But I need to keep the private key at each user hand.
I'm thinking to pass the encryption, I don't want it to be a burden.

 What exactly are you trying to achieve by encrypting email - are you
 trying to encrypt business communications between employees and
 vendors/customers to protect from eavesdroppers or do you want to encrypt
 the message repository and protect it from attackers?

 Before you start applying encryption as a panacea do a little threat
 analysis first.  Ask yourself - what assets are you trying to protect, what
 are the threats and what are your vulnerabilities.

 My experience with extrusion prevention with a fair number of customers
 has shown the following:

 a. It's  better to use outgoing email in clear text because 1) you can
 monitor what people are doing  and 2) having  a business partner
 decrypt/encrypt is generally a pain in the ass that is greater than the
 value of the business transaction.


 b. If you have high-value business communications between your company and
 vendors - you are better off just encrypting  the file (for example a
 sensitive contract or product design doc) and sending  the encrypted
 attachment.  This will enable you to monitor who is sending and who is
 receiving and with the right monitoring system - you will be able to detect
 that an encrypted file was sent which is interesting information in it's own
 right.

Hi,
I would like to keep company emails secure and encrypted.
I'm looking for a webmail program that is similar to Gmail. It don't
have to own all the stuff, just to be productive.
I would also want encryption. I want all the emails be encrypted
automatically.
What is the procedure for a user? should he take with him a usb
private key?
I'm looking for your comments on the idea.
   
Tnx,

rpcbind dump and restore?

2007-08-14 Thread Ira Abramov
I have a work script on verious old machines that would use pmap_dump and
pmap_set to restart portmap without losing registered applications.
those two tools no longer come with rpcbind (which is the new rpc
registry, supporting more than just pmap, etc).

anyone knows how I can get the same functionality with rpcbind?

What is the threat,  who is  the attacker and what is the asset you are
protecting?

There is little reason to encrypt internal email in my experience. Let's say
that Mike in sales has an insider tip on company  stock options and he wants
to tell Yael in HR.  Encryption doesn't mitigate that threat. Let's say that
Yossi has a secret algorithm he wants to sell to the dark side. Encrypting
internal email won't mitigate that threat either. If there are confidential
files being sent by email to external destinations - encrypt the files and
give the key to the recipient.

BUT - If you're concerned about information leakage then your cheapest and
most effective countermeasure is monitoring email transmission for
particular data types and destinations.
