Why FTP sucks

First of all I want to make clear that I always liked FTP. And I still prefer it over uploading my files through a web-interface, but I now have found quite a big reason why FTP really really sucks. And here it is: FTP has clearly not been designed to upload 7000 files. Right now […]

ACLs: Extended file-permissions

Warning: WP_Syntax::substituteToken(): Argument #1 ($match) must be passed by reference, value given in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/wp-syntax/wp-syntax.php on line 383

In Windows they are used for a long time already, but most Linux-users probably don’t even know that their system supports them too. Access Control Lists (ACLs) extend the regular permissions we all know with the possibility to give permissions for specific users/groups. With a little example I want to show how to use ACLs […]

Suspend to disk – does it still make sense?

I just ran into this question and thought I’ll post it here to see what others think. My personal opinion is that it doesn’t, and here’s why: I have 8GB of RAM, and although most of it usually is free (or just used by the cache and thus free-able in case of suspension) I have […]

Now do I have 3D-Acceleration or not?

Until this weekend I happened to think that when glxinfo tells you “Direct Rendering: Yes” you can actually enjoy accelerated 3D. Well, it seems that I was wrong, and that this indicator alone does not give you fast 3D. A bit of history: I was playing around as in KDE I was still using 1024×768, […]

POSIX Capabilities Vs. Set-UID

I’ve been mentioned the POSIX-capabilities in my post about EasyLFS 0.5 and promised another post to clarify what they actually are about. This is the promised post. POSIX-capabilities are actually nothing new, but haven’t been given much attention so far. This now has changed, they are now supported by the kernel and the necessary library […]

Recording your Ekiga-calls with Wireshark

If all application would use sound-systems like Arts things could be so much easier. But since some tools insist on going directly to Alsa or OSS there is a problem when you want to record what you’re playing. Especially when it’s two-way-communication as it is with Ekiga. After trying to record a conversation with Audacity […]

SELinux nightmare

Well, it’s actually not a real nightmare, I just thought this would be a cool title. As some of you might know I really favor SELinux over AppArmor, although it’s quite hard to use. Now that EasyLFS is mostly done I am working on it’s SELinux-policy, which is based on the Reference Policy by Tresys. […]

More stuff on less space – Shrinking the EasyLFS-LiveCD – Part 2

Before I could already save around 100MB by removing the kernel-sources from the Live-system. Now I have decided to remove GCC 3.4 and 4.0, and could save another 50 to 60MB. If I would give out funky codenames for the EasyLFS-releases I guess 0.4 would probably get the name “Shrinkhead”. The current test-CD is about […]

Is it over for AppArmor?

Novell seems to have come to the conclusion that AppArmor might not be worth it’s money. At least they have dissolved the project and, as it seems, fired the team that has been working on it. The team around Crispin Cowan, one of the AppArmor-developers, said they won’t give up AppArmor, but it seems they […]

Novell’s comparison of AppArmor and SELinux

After my previous two posts about SELinux and AppArmor, “Stupid advice and some of my own ideas” and Rusty AppArmor?, another post of the same topic. I had another look around for information on AppArmor and of course also followed a link leading directly to Novell where I found a Novell’s AppArmor and SELinux comparison. Well, […]
