    Spybot - Search & Destroy Can Detect and Remove Spyware of Different Kinds from Your Computer

    Description Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not cover yet. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you didn't intentionally install, if your browser crashes, or if you browser start page has changed without your knowing, you most probably have spyware. But even if you don't see anything, you may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging that is silently tracking your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile of you that will be sold to advertisement companies. Spybot-S&D; is free, so there's no harm in trying to see if something snooped into your computer, too :) Spybot-S&D; can also clean usage tracks, an interesting function if you share your computer with other users and don't want them to see what you worked on. And for professional users, it allows to fix some registry inconsistencies and offers some extended reporting features. License Spybot-S&D; comes under the Dedication Public License. Requirements Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 or XP (32 and 64 bit), 2003, Vista. Compatible with bootable PE disks (e.g. BartPE) and Wine. Minimum of 10 MB free hard disk space, more recommended for updates and backups. Usage We recommend that you continue by reading the tutorial next. © 2000-2008 Safer Networking Ltd. All rights reserved. I. Freeware First of all, the reasons why Spybot-S&D; is free: I.a. Dedication Spybot-S&D; is dedicated to the most wonderful girl on earth :) I.b.

  • Openbsd As a File Server

    Openbsd As a File Server

    OpenBSD as a File Server With Active Directory threatening the traditional SMB (Server Message Block) Windows file sharing and Appletalk/Chooser MacOS file sharing, open source Unix has an opening to become recognized as a file sharing platform that can cheaply and efficiently replace the more traditional operating systems. Although support for active directory is lacking, in the present interim where SMB, Chooser, and NFS (Network File System) still reign supreme, tools exist to make OpenBSD the perfect file server for cross-platform client networks and complex internetworks. As an example configuration for the various subsystems involved in this, let's look at my main OpenBSD server at work, which handles Appletalk, SMB, and NFS simultaneously and distributes files over a multi- platform internetwork. There are three repositories of data, which must all be accessible by Macintosh and Windows clients on the internal network: 1. /home/www (A local web-hosting directory on newboing, the server in question) 2. /deepthought (An NFS mount from deepthought, a remote server at a co-location facility) 3. /doca (An NFS mount from doc_a, a local NT server providing main internal file serving) Given this layout, there are three discernable steps involved in configuration. Step 1, configuring the mounts The NFS daemon on deepthought was configured to export only the /home directory and all its subsidiaries, and only to the correct IP address of newboing. This was done via an entry in /etc/exports reading: /home 202.56.38.123 Then it was mounted on newboing via the following command: mount -t nfs deepthought.domain.com.au:/home /deepthought Since there are problems mounting SMB filesystems under OpenBSD (it is possible, but the new smbfs- based smbmount is heavily Linux oriented), I chose to run PC-NFS on doc_a.

History of email ● Originally designed to send messages between users on the same (multiuser) system ● Simple program mail used to send & receive ● User's mail resides in /var/spool/mail – All messages in one single file; same name as user – Known as mbox format – Go look there now ● All of this is still with us today Email today: Three Agents ● Mail Transport Agent (MTA) – Transports mail from one system to another – Examples: Sendmail, Postfix, Qmail ● Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) – Often included in MTA ● Mail User Agent (MUA) – aka “email client”: pine, mutt, kmail, outlook etc. How it all works Sendmail: the original MTA/MDA ● Like Cthulhu: – An ancient daemon with tentacles coming out of its head – i.e., a Monster – Devours sysadmins & possibly small children too ● 80% of world's email transits Sendmail servers ● Don't use it unless you already know & love it ● Installed – and running – by default: 'nix needs an MTA to handle system messages The Sendmail replacement: Postfix ● 100% drop-in replacement for Sendmail – /usr/sbin/sendmail renamed to sendmail.sendmail – /usr/sbin/sendmail becomes a symlink to /etc/alternatives/mta – /etc/alternatives/mta
