Re: [luau] Digital Video Editting in Linux
Wow, I am impressed! Thanks for the info. As I mentioned to Vince (see attached*), the purpose of my thought is not about making films, but about baby-sitting one or more of the open-sourced projects. In short, I only have a very narrowly focused goal at the present time, i.e., to try to run Jahshaka (free) or MainActor (not free) on Warren's platform (i.e., Fedora Linux). The scope of this project can expand, if I see promise--or you or someone else can branch/take over, etc. The advantage of working with Olela is that their have the front end equipment as well as a studio and tons of people to interact with, plus it operates until 9 PM. *Thanks. Jahshaka is still in the alpha stage, and we all know how raw an open-sourced program can be before it becomes mainstream. Thus, there is no need to make a big deal at present. Just need one or two volunteers, with or without Linux experience, who are willing to patiently go through the beta testing rituals and are unafraid to take abuses/ridicules from those Mac people. (Most Olelo techs are volunteers, they are very nice people but worship Macs religiously.) In order to use Olelo equipment, the volunteers must go through a set of courses and be certified. The tuitions are trivial but I will pick them up. Digital video editting seems to be one of the best hopes to get our community really really interested in Linux. But again, the available tools are still very primitive. Time is our best friend. Wayne

Vince, That's the rub, I can't figure it out. I guess I can safely ignore this one? Ben Where is the fs that is mounted ext2? Despite the warning in dmesg, they are mounted ext3. -Vince
Re: [luau] Looking for help on attempted cracking....
Vince, SSH is closed on the firewall, although it is running on my box. As far as keeping my box updated goes, I regularly run up2date among other things. While I realize that that may not cover everything, so far it has served me well (until now that is...) I'll work on a better way to verify that my firewall script is working. Typically, I check the boot logs to make sure that it loads when I do boot, and I am seeing log entries where the firewall is blocking various IPs when certain rules are matched. From that I gather that the firewall is working, but as you can see here, it appears that on at least this occasion, it did not stop a connction to my ftp directory that it should have. Reinstall coming very soon Thanks, Ben On Sunday 12 October 2003 09:09 am, you wrote: On Sat, Oct 11, 2003 at 09:47:35PM -1000, Ben Beeson wrote: 1) How did the cracker get past the firewall?
