Re: The Apache Question

2006-02-07 Thread Steven Day
Well as far as I know, Apache 1.3 is an openBSD modified version and not the
1.3 apache releases but the licensing on apache 2.0 is the reason I see
OpenBSD not packaging it.

http://apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0

Also search back into the mailing list archives or the site for more
specific reasons.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

 Hi everyone

 I've noticed OpenBSD still uses Apache httpd 1.3. While it is good that
 on the OpenBSD side of things, it is maintained and there's an
 additional focus on security for httpd. However, sooner or later,
 httpd 1.3 *will be deprecated* in favor of newer versions (2.0, 2.2),
 and now certainly with 2.2 released.

 Are there any plans about when 2.2 (or 2.0) will be included in the base
   fileset? Or remove apache out of the fileset and let the users install
 it themselfs with a port?

 I couldn't find anything in the misc archives, but perhaps I didn't
 really look that hard. But the biggest issue is the Apache 2.0 license.
 I'm not sure what the problem is with the license, but I believe it may
 be that Apache 2 license is more restrictive. In what way? I don't know.

That was referenced from the list reply where someone claimed there was no
problem. A quick web search will probably give the reason too.



Re: Number of PTYs

2006-01-05 Thread Steven Day
Look up the man page on
pty(4)http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ptysektion=4it
will tell you how and what is needed to increase the number of pseudo
terminals on the system, specifically kern.tty.maxptys if you need more than
992 that it says is set.

 Hello,

 users are systraced and they all use an expect script.

 I get this message when the users exceed the number of ptys (a-z. A-Z,0-9)

 The system has no more ptys.  Ask your system administrator to create
 more.

 and at my messages log:

 What can i do to increase ptys ?

 googling shows people getting the same messgae and expect/gcc being
 involved, or is it just a system message ?



Re: Theo gave an interview to Forbes Mag. about Linux

2005-06-17 Thread Steven Day
I love this part

 You know what I found? Right in the kernel, in the heart of the operating
system, I found a developer's comment that said, 'Does this belong here?'
Lok says. What kind of confidence does that inspire? Right then I knew it
was time to switch.

Just to guess.

In most of the article Linux was being criticized from a code standpoint,
both in the design and the system they use to develop.

 In the last two interviews I've read, you've made it clear that you've
 never
 used it, and had no comment. Am I missing something? Just curious.

  If the Linux people actually cared about Quality, as we do, they would
  not have had as many localhost kernel security holes in the last year.
 
  How many is it... 20 so far?

Re: speed of mac mini

2005-06-16 Thread Steven Day
i believe that the biggest bottleneck is the hard drive, I think there is a
2.5 5400rpm or 4200rpm drive in it. You can of course always pop it out but
most people using the mac mini probably aren't looking for a proformance
boost.

 It runs OS X. QED.

 (Further: I have one, running OS X with 512MB RAM. It runs World of
