Re: Nvidia bug
nVidia hardware goes to /dev/null, i.e. recycle bin! I am closely watching all our suppliers for ANY new hardware with built in nVidia components (including Sun hardware with built in nVidia NICs). They will not pass the tendering stage. User base around 1500 heads. Number of servers around 50 (including DR), half Micro$haft half *NIX. We soon will be nVidia free!

I'm looking for recommendations on what to buy given the following requirements : o MUST have two DVI outputs o MUST be able to drive X with 2x 1600x1200 o MUST be PCIe-16 o SHOULD be passively cooled An (obvious) non-requirement is fancy-smancy OpenGL support and other look-at-me-mom-i'm-being-cool-features. Many xterms, some firefox and a couple of mplayer'ed or VLC'ed video's is all I need. Of course, the biggest requirement is that it MUST be supported in OpenBSD/xenocara (-current is OK). An Open Source-friendly vendor is preferred but I'm afraid the market is in quite a bad state at the moment. I had an ATI X1300Pro. It was everything I wanted except for the OpenBSD-supportedness - I had to pass it off to someone else. I rather not make the same mistake again, any suggestions ? First-hand experience much appreciated. Thanks, Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd PS: The machine will probably run amd64 but I'm hoping that the 'supported by OpenBSD/xenocara'-requirement gets me hardware that is pretty much arch-agnostic.

I've worked for quite a few big companies in the USA and the most disturbing trend I've seen is the compartmentalization of operations into discrete groups that rarely communicate and are often at odds with one another.

Re: Banking with OpenBSD
My suggestion to you is to CHANGE banks - urgently, as I did! And tell them that you are NOT willing to use that `security hole` to compromise your own systems! Ioan >>> Austin Hook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/01/2006 01:29:58 pm >>> Here's a different kind of technical question -- who out there can recommend a Euro zone bank with Internet banking service which does a good job with OpenBSD and Mozilla-Firefox? North American banks generally work fine with Firefox and OpenBSD, but our current account with Bank of Ireland really requires Microsoft. Hopefully, also, it would be a bank that communicates well in either English or French, and is not the worst in the extra little charges and fees problem. Thanks, Austin http://www.netcleanse.com

I should have been more specific - if I have a failure, it does its thing, great. But, I'd want to replace the failed drive so I'd have a hot spare again. That's the part I was asking about - you'd have to shutdown to replace that failed drive when it's convenient. Right? I've never touched a SATA anything in my life. If one of the drive fails in a RAID configuration, the system should automatically start using the hot spare, until you replace the failed drive. Once the failed drive is replaced, the hot spare should be available again. If your system can do hot-swap you are in business, if not a system stop and restart is needed. Ioan

I have no experience with Oracle, but if you are going to be running insecure software, why not choose a better-performing platform? Oracle will require extensive filtering anyway (see: full-disclosure postings on Oracle, for instance), so you might as well choose the platform that will give you the best performance, which is unlikely to be OpenBSD. FreeBSD will be OpenBSD-ish enough not to kill you, and likely give you better performance and better compatibility; and it's secure enough that it will not add much to the hole that Oracle already is.

Well, you're doing it now! I've seen the emails that you and some of the others have sent my Mother, Sophia, in her inbox. Remember her, or have you pickled your brain to such a degree with alcohol that you can't remember? Since swearing is obviously accepted in these lists and you yourself has set the precedent, don't mind if I swear myself. Listen you sycophantic little prick! She's a wheelchair bound 65 year old woman who only wanted your help and instead, all she got was verbally assaulted by you and some of the others. She did nothing wrong and you intentionally misinterpreted what she said just so you could take the opportunity to abuse her. You used her for an opportunity to take out your frustrations. Get a life sicko. Remember the USB ports on a Toshiba Satellite A60 - All she wanted to use was an external mouse What you and some of the others did was disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourselves you gutless wonders. I don't give a shit if you volunteer your entire pathetic little life doing free shit for people - either do it and shut up or don't do it at all, but don't do it and then act like the martyr, and don't EVER take it out on my Mother again. Fuck knows why but she likes (liked) you. i personally don't give a shit about you. You may think your God in your little insignificant world, and suck arses may treat you like that, but to me you're nothing but an ugly, sad single twisted little individual - a little boy who never got over throwing temper tantrums, flying off the handle and never grew up properly, who never grew up properly. You're not a very well adjusted person and if you're pissed off with your own pathetic little life, don't take it out on my Mother or I'll take it out on you. You have no idea how you've upset her. I knew somthing had happened to her because she was crying several weeks ago and her mood hasn't been the same since but she wouldn't tell me what was wrong. Apart from me, her only other contact with the outside world is by email so I checked her inbox and found yours (and others) cruel emails. I hope you're all proud of yourselves. She has never used language like that in her entire life (I'm a bit different to her) like several of you used on her in both public & private email returns. Neither did she deserve your attitudes or your foul mouthes or your barage of rude insults. theo, you're a spoilt, high strung, foul tempered, disgusting little individual. You have no idea who you're writing to and you should be more careful in future you bastard. On the other hand, I know all about you. I've even got a picture of your house. I got my Mother into computers many years ago because I thought it would be good for her mind but because of you, i'm sorry i did. Between me and her, you're going to miss out on a lot of money in future because of your childish attitude and disgusting temper (I reiterate, you have no idea who you're writing to - or who's watching the list). And I don't give a shit about all you nerds and geeks (nice ones excepted) and your little rules about what's appropriate to post and where. I'll post it anywhere I God damn like and I'll say what I God damn please and you can take it any way you like - so take this email and stick it... in any list you think it belongs in - so ask me if I give a shit. Well, I'll tell ya, "I don't give a shit!" You can stick it up your arse for all I care you sad little boy. Personally, i'm disgusted that she grovelled to you but i'm even more disgusded with your crewl and calous response to her you gutless wonder. Just know this theo. Don't dare upset my mother again. I visit canada from time to time on business. you ever speak to my mother like that again and i'll personally come over to canada and see you personally appologise to her in writing you ugly, weedy little poor excuse for a man. You've got a lot of growing up to do boy. It's a pity you're a sad middle-aged man who's made it this far in life but have failed to mature mentally past the 12th grade. I don't think there's any hope for you.

Re: Telnet daemon retired in 3.8 ?
It in not the question of sshd works or, not! In large environments, where you have a large number of legacy hardware (like Apollo 700, HP 3000, HP 7000, Solaris 2.5.1 etc., etc.), and the purpose of a UNIX box is other than to run a firewall, a webserver, mail-server, or MySQL, plus you have thousand + users, and clients (internal/external on different client platforms), yes it is bad not have telnetd running. Matthew is quite right, telnet is live and will be for very long time. It was a bad choice to be removed from the source tree. You reduce your options. Above, I am not arguing pro/contra telnetd, or sshd! Ioan >>> Jason Crawford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/11/2005 11:55:55 am >>> telnetd was completely removed from the source tree around the end of may, soon after 3.7 was released. As far as an alternative, why does sshd not work? There are ssh daemons for almost all other operating systems, unless maybe you're using OpenVMS or Plan9 (although I think there is at least one for those as well, just not OpenSSH).
