Radio Facts

I've started an ongoing story in the index section of s l a m to expose the features of Radio as I gradually discover and understand them.

OpenSSH Alert !

LinuxSecurity: "A bug exists in the channel code of OpenSSH versions 2.0 - 3.0.2 Users with an existing user account can abuse this bug to gain root privileges. Exploitability without an existing user account has not been proven but is not considered impossible. A malicious ssh server could also use this bug to exploit a connecting vulnerable client."[Newsforge]
The portable OpenSSH 3.1 tarball is downloadable from the OpenBSD main repository or any number of mirrors.

As of now, cygwin's latest version is still 3.0.2, the latest MacOS X packaged version is 3.0.1, MacOS X 10.1.3 ships with openSSH 3.0.2, and Stepwise published yesterday a tutorial on compiling the 3.1 release on a MacOS X system.

RedHat rpms of release 3.1 have just been released.

Linux commands at your command

O'Reilly Network: Linux Command Directory [Linux Today]

I'm already using Google more than man or info when I find out my idea of the correct syntax of a given Unix command slightly differs from reality.

Well, O'Reilly now has it all organised for me in clear alphabetical order, with references to the related books in Safari. Saves time for sysadmins in a hurry.

An even greater idea would be to extend the directory to other Unixes besides GNU/Linux, and point out the syntax differences between System5 or BSD derived systems. Used ps or date lately ?
