  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) Right now, it's restricted by IP address to just BU campus.

  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) I don't think zsh is 100% backwards compatible with sh, so it's not an ideal replacement. Might be reasonable to add though. (...) Yeah, gaim is what you think it is. If I get requests for licq, I'll put it in. (...) We're looking at coda. But (...) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) *hide*. I am getting better though - the other day, I removed netscape from my computer, and did it with rpm -e :) (...) do you also check for space while choosing?

  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) Didn't I lecture you about this before? *grin* (...) Hmm; I wonder how the 6.0 installer deals with that case. (It's generally better about error conditions. (Although, one of the improvements I've made is that it auto-retries once if an ftp (...) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)  
 
  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) How are you dealing with export issues for Kerberos, gnupg, and netscape? Do you offer bones and slimmed down netscape/gnupg encryption? Or do you just restrict access with FTP banners and the like? If you don't mind, I might like to pick your (...) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) yah, true... but I'm bad about using rpm anyhow, I end up compiling my own stuff most of the time... I know I shouldn't, but it's a habit I'll have to un-learn...

(...) Oh yeah: those major differences are RH 6.[01] -> RH 6.2. RH 6.2 -> BULinux: - includes nqc :) - uses bash version 2; none of this bash w/ optional "bash2" silliness - kerberos4 (via a pam module -- much nicer than needing every app to be made (...)

(...) bah! (dan already explained what it is)... (not that we play anymore... we'd have no time for lego, and that's just unreasonable) :) (24 years ago, 7-Apr-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: NQC in Boston University Linux :)
 
(...) Yeah -- disabling unnecessary servers is good, but not even installing them is better. Before, if you wanted the finger client [1], uou had to install the finger server, which is kinda silly.
