Dunque la cosa e' abbastanza lunga e non del tutto immediata, il mio consiglio (per quanto non sia adattissimo se sei un novellino di linux) e' di scaricare dal sito (rpmfind.net o direttamente da ftp.it.kernel.org) i sorgenti del kernel (kernel-source e kernel-headers se in formato .rpm; oppure linux-x.tar.gz o linux-xx.tar.bz2 negli altri casi). Il procedimento e' abbastanza lungo, quindi ti consiglio di dare un'occhiata al Kernel-HowTo (che, per inciso dovresti trovare anche installato nella directory /usr/share/doc/HOWTO) Salut, Lk -- LU #210970 LM #98222 / MDK 8.2 -Cooker- su 2.4.13 [Chi e' pronto a dar via le proprie liberta' fondamentali per comprarsi briciole di temporanea sicurezza non merita ne' la liberta' ne' la sicurezza - Benjamin Franklin]

Netscape is perfectly welcome to create their own OS and compete with Windows if they want to, same with anyone else. MS has every right to use their internal advantage against their competition. Re: MS has every right to use their internal advantage against their competition. Matt, I don't want to start a flame war, but I think everyone who reads this should recognize that is your opinion, and there are other opinions, as is clear from the antitrust cases against Microsoft. I don't know the law well enough to state this clearly or correctly, but the government somehow reserves the right to limit the behavior of monopolies (or almost monopolies) under certain circumstances -- maybe when that monopoly severely restricts competition, or maybe depending on the methods used to obtain and maintain that monopoly, or maybe both. I won't go any further except to say there are quite a few people that believe that some of the methods used to obtain and maintain their monopoly were unfair and possibly illegal. Point taken. But I think the problem I and a lot of other people have is this silly notion that Microsoft MUST make its source code and APIs open to anybody. I say that's crap. Not every OS can be like Linux, and that's not what the government's case is about. You *CAN* close off your product to outside developers who failt to attain your expressed permission. It *IS* legal. This was a battle largely fought and lost in the 1980s. Once again, you are confusing source sode with APIs. It is perfectly possible to have a closed-source OS with open APIs. In fact, Microsoft seems to be the _only_ major closed-source OS provider that is closing its APIs. Microsoft are perfectly welcome to put whatever license they want on their code - nobody is disputing that. However, the playing-field must be made level so as to promote competition and 'innovation' (to use one of MS's favourite terms). This can be done through open APIs. Microsoft may still have a head-start since they designed the OS, but this lead shall erode as other programmers become more proficient with the open APIs. Do you really think that Microsoft managed to come from being a tiny insignificant company to beating IBM, Lotus, Wordperfect and Novel in all their main markets by _not_ being anti-competitive? Secret APIs (again, _not_ to be confused with closed-source) allowed MS to leverage their special knowledge of the OS into dominance in numerous applications markets. This is *NOT* legal, and nor should it be, for it is anti-competitive. The US courts have found that to be the case. I think if you're going to make a case against Microsoft, you should focus on the more tangible legal aspects such as price-fixing and bundling. AFAIK, this is what the Justice Department's case is largely about. Actually the Justice Department didn't really focus on the root of the problem at all. There is nothing wrong with including a browser with an OS, but the problem was that MS never give the user the _option_ of whether they wanted it or not. The main problem, among others, is Microsoft's behind-the-scenes bullying of companies (including heavyweights like IBM and Compaq) in regards to licensing. MS tell their resellers and OEMs the equivalent of if you bundle with a computer or sell any application that competes with Microsoft products, we shall revoke your license to sell Microsoft products altogether. Resellers and OEMs have no choice in this 'all-or-none' threat, since few people would buy their products if they didn't include Windows. Hitachi, for example, tried to make their systems dual-bootable into Windows and BeOS. Just before their systems were about to ship, Microsoft reminded them of this license clause. With the shipping date nearing, Hitachi didn't have time to fully remove BeOS from their machines, so they simply removed the BeOS boot option in the bootloader. BeOS was hidden on the hard drive, and consumers were forced to visit the Hitachi website to find out how to activate it. Nevertheless, even without focussing on the major issues and instead concentrating on rather mundane topics like bundling, the DOJ still won the case. - John -- Sridhar Dhanapalan We will get the source code up on the Web - anybody who specifically wants a copy can just ask. -- Bill Gates Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Help with Telnet
Have you set up your /etc/hosts.allow /etc/hosts.deny files. The linux box when it recvs a connection attempt, the inetd deamon checks these files for access rights. You must have something in there to allow the IP addresses of your client machines. For example: 192.168.0.1 which is linux box 192.168.0.2 which is your windoze box /etc/hosts.deny would have the entry like 'ALL:ALL' to deny all access. /etc/hosts.allow would have 'AlLL: 192.168.0.2' (Both of these on your Linux box) The inetd deamon would disallow all connections except those listed in the allow file. Maybe OK to use telnet on your local NET, but would suggest you use SSH for all other comms. Regards, Dave On Thursday 25 October 2001 10:11, you wrote: I have a similar problem.

Thank you for letting me know that I was not the only one fooled. I will give them a call sometime about this.

'startx gnome' does not work!
I don't have a ~/.Xclients-default files at ~!
Can I make it?
tia
Type 'startx gnome'. If you want to load GNOME by default when you run
'startx', open your ~/.Xclients-default file in an editor and change exec
startkde toexec gnome-session.

RE: [newbie] Security for Mandrake
Ipchains and or socks can be set up so that no client information is reported back. Since most NAT implementations vary, it's extemely difficult for a single technique to detect Masq'd packets. Rather most of these things rely on information passed by the host itself to the remote. Web Browsers, etc. can report things like IP address, hostnames, etc. if queried or sent by the client. Squid can be configured to report itself as a simple browser. Once done remote systems relying upon the characteristics of the requestor are unable to tell the difference. BTW: If you got to the point that the Mac list (as in Apple?) could tell your IP, then your provider does not seem to be blocking proxies and NAT at all. Check out MSN's new web page. It determines the browser you are utilizing based upon initial info sent by the client.

RE: [newbie] Internet Explorer for Mandrake 7.2?
in reply to: I realized after I sent that I worded my post poorly. I do believe MS has an unfair monopoly and probably got there with the help of some illegal practices. But I don't think MS having more knowledge of the workings of Windows is necessarily unfair. If they use that knowledge to shut out competition or do clearly malicious things, then that's definitely a problem. If they use that advantage to create better programs than what their competition is making, that's fine with me. MS wasn't just handed Windows. Illegal activity aside, it took them a lot to become the monster they are today. If they're willing to take that risk, then I see no problems with them gaining some benefits from the reward. If they did get where they are illegally, then that's a separate issue. It's possible to become successful legally. That success would have required just as much risk, and should have just as much reward. Matt If that were the case, and forcing everyone to use the API while they embed everything they write into the OS is acceptable.. Then no company other then M$ can write a better app for windows then M$ M$ is adding stuff into the OS all the time to cut our their competition, thinks like Office2000 and XP, Mediaplayer, Internet Explorer, and all the new freebie thrills you get with XP, can't be competed with for speed because regardless of how got the competing app is, it has to use the windows API and as such can never compete for speed and integration with M$'s own apps. The result being something like this: Why download Mozilla if IE is faster? Why download Staroffice if Office2000 does it all faster? (apart from the price which is sad if its the only factor in Staroffices favour.) Why download ICQ when MSN messanger is faster? and so on and so forth... by including their applications in the OS, (read NOT free, they up the price on each OS to pay for the new free apps they include so they are NOT free.) XP is about 3 or 4 times the cost win95 was when it came out, possibly more. All I wish to say is that the reason the US Judge wanted to split M$ into two or more companies was to split the OS off from the rest of their offerings. So that the application M$ would be on even ground with everyone else writing software so that we continue to have lots of competing software companies out there developing software for the windows platform. Do you really want M$ to be the only company developing apps for windows? Do you think the pricing would stay the same if they were the only ones? (I'd be suprised if when it happens, the price of M$ software didn't double.) 1. Prices are where they are now from competition, IE would never have been a free download were it not for Netscape. 2. If M$ were the only show in town, software would be alot buggier, because with no competition around, M$ would have no competing versions to make them look bad.

In the past I used to have Bastille on my system, now I prefer pcx, though I haven't seen the last 'editions' of Bastille! []s Hi all, This is probably a FAQ, but I can't find the answer in the e-mails I have so far Some background is needed. In common with quite a few people, I would expect, I'm a long-time Windows hack trying out Linux because of Borland's Kylix, aka Delphi for Linux. I'm starting from as near zero knowledge of Linux as makes no difference. Living in a very rural area of Pennsylvania, I have a choice of exactly one cable access provider, and they're a bit paranoid, to put it mildly. They've managed to configure their access systems in such a way as to (deliberately!) prevent use of a router as a hardware firewall, unless you buy their much more expensive commercial access. Now, when my machine is booted in Windows, I see an average of something like 30 unauthorised access attempts a day (the 24.x.y.z IP address of most cable modems is an open invitation). So far as Windows is concerned, I use Zone Alarm as a software firewall, and everyone is reasonably happy (even if I'm still a bit annoyed about having a perfectly good router sitting on my desk doing nothing). I have two questions. 1) Is there an equivalent to Zone Alarm for the Linux world - a software firewall that will work out of the box? 2) If there isn't such a firewall, I'm being swamped by the amount of documentation that I need to read - is there a Newbie's guide to Linux security out there somewhere that will mean that I can block out the hackers while I'm learning the rest of the OS?
