Re: [SLUG] Code Management Database
Hi Maybe it also depends on your IDE. CVS and Subversion doing very well with Eclipse. Cheers, Thomas Am Freitag, 9.

Re: [SLUG] Switching a website to ssl
Hi To create the cert it is maybe a good idea to look at http://www.cacert.org/ There you can create signed certificates for free. Cheers, Thomas Am Mittwoch, 17.

Re: [SLUG] dual authentification
Hi What about splitting the password in two parts?? The application guru will only know the first 4 letters and the admin only the last 4 letters... Does that makes sense??

Re: [SLUG] Company rebranding FOSS and selling it
Hi In the issue 07/2005 of the Linux Magazin (German issue) there is a story about Harald Welte who developed some stuff of the netfilter (netfilter.org). He sued a lot of companies which violates the GPL when they put the netfilter in their router. He started gpl-violations.org ; maybe there are some hints. Cheers, Thomas Am Dienstag, 26.
