I use it myself for occasional tasks. It is not best thing on Earth, but

Re: Making Passwords Show Letters ?

2015-04-30 Thread Richard Falken
Crypto hashes are really powerful and are the standard way of storing
passwords in many systems.

You might now that a password hash is
$5$sdsd7f89sd7fsda89f7$9AO/NHJbfjwllqiFOOeq63ICdSDwaejGNa36IL6d4pC. You
might not use this information to find what the password that generates
this hash is. The reason is that cryptographic checksums work only one way.
You can take an input and turn it into a hash, but there is no practical
way to take a hash and find what the input is out.

 could hash, (i.e. subtract from) that with  (Decimal) to produce

 So, having encrypted my 3072, I must store the Hash, 6927, somewhere on my
 computer, so that, when someone enters a password, it's Hash can be
 compared to the stored Hash.
 
 This mustn't be how it works, as it seems to simply!!

 I really don't want to do them one at a time (over 100).
 
 1) Export as CSV, LDIF, or other format that SeaMonkey will recognize, with
 a name that doesn't match any of your existing address books or list names.
 I don't recall what options Word has, but I know Excel can do this; if need
 be, copy/paste the Word table into an Excel spreadsheet.
 
 2) From the SeaMonkey address book, do Tools | Import, choose data type
 Address books, follow the steps. You'll end up with a new address book
 under the unique name you gave it.
 
 You have the options along the way to specify import file format, match
 field names to SM field names, etc.
 
 Once it's there, you can move the addresses around by dragging and
 dropping, create a mailing list, etc. as usual.
 

Thanks. I have not tested it, but I see Libreoffice Calc has the option of
exporting the list as a CSV, so it should be an easy thing to do.

 David, I would suggest that Users can get new copies of programs from

Rebuilding a system  from zero means fetching your programs again
configuring everything again, etc. You can rebuild a system but it is going
to take a lot of time unless the original system was not very customized.

It is less effort to backup fully every now and then. You can leave your
home computer backing up while you are at work, for example, so it does not
interfere with your activities and costs you no time. If something weird
happens and the system is destroyed, you can leave the backup rebuild the
system while you are having a walk with the horses, unatended. The downside
is you must invest in storage.

The point is having more than one in order to have duplicated and separated
copies.

You need also extra room for keeping differential backups, means for
integrity checks both in the backup and the original, and keeping a history
which goes back enough in the past. The idea is that if a file is corrupted
today and you don t realize until 2017, you have a way to rebuild the data
as it was just before the corruption.

That means at least two hard drives (for having separated copies) that are
in fact bigger than the original drive.

You can create filters that apply to the whole Usenet account. Tool

I think it is not Seamonkey's fault. Probably something in the server

I have performer further tests.

I have tried to connect to news.eternal-september.org using NNTPS without 
installing the CAcert certificate. It silently drops the connection.


I have installed CAcert's certificates and retried. Then it worked.

No plugins were enabled duting these tests.

My conclusion is, as I had already told, that my Seamonkey is dropping the 
connections when there is a SSL or TLS certificate problem and gives no 
warning to the user.

I have not been able to connect to any news provider using SSL or TLS with

Bayesian filter for seamonkey/thunderbird.

2015-01-11 Thread Richard Falken
Hello.

I am using Seamonkey for browsing the Usenet. Seamonkey has a bayesian
filter for email, but it seems it is not possible to use it for Usenet
posts. I don't really need that kind of filtering, but I am wondering if
there is any way of using a bayesian filter with seamonkey (or
thunderbird, which is more or less the same) in order to kill spam.

And, before you say so, I know there are clients with better filtering
capabilities out there :-)

Cheers.

Does that mean news.mozilla.org does not support SSL or TLS?

I was already connecting to those servers with no encryption at all. It is
just that I find my unability to use encryption with servers that are
supposed to provide it... weird.

I have tested some of those services with openssl s_client, and it gives
certificate error (some related to self-signing, some to expired certs). I
wonder is seamonkey just silently fails when an invalid certificate is
presented to it. If that is the case, I would call that a bug.

Re: NNTP over SSL/TLS not working in Seamonkey.

2015-01-11 Thread Richard Falken
I think I have found the problem.

Excerpt from bug 745133:

 As of today, if a fatal connection error occurrs on a SSL/TLS socket, no
 feedback will be given to the user. This is different from we had in the
 past.

 In my opinion this behaviour is undesirable, as it gives the user the
 impression of a nonworking product.

I think the problem is I have been trying to connect to servers using
invalid certificates and Seamonkey has just decided to drop the connection
without notifying the user. It really gives the impression there is
something not working in either the client or the server.
