Security hole in CVS 1.9 when using pserver method

I was just reading on http://www.cyclic.com/cyclic-pages/news9706.html that CVS 1.9 has a security hole. Redhat might want to consider updating to version 1.9.10. I checked the updates dir on redhat's ftp site and there wasn't any update available. From the webpage: --- If the machine running

Required recompile of pam when configuring SMB

1998-04-07 Thread Fred Leeflang
At work I set up SMB on a Linux file server. I found out that I had to recompile the PAM stuff in order to make SMB work with user authentication again after I upgraded to glibc-2.0.7-6. The pam_unix_auth.so that's used for SMB seemed to be SEGV'ing with the new glibc. Regards, Fre

Firewalling performance

Hi, In the company I work for, we're considering setting up a Linux firewall. I do have some experience with it, know how to create firewall rules and such, but I've never been in the opportunity to see how well Linux holds up as a firewall under high loads. The system we're thinking about wi
