Word has new Zero-Day attack. Microsoft warns of new Word attack. "There's now one more reason to be careful about opening Microsoft Office attachments." By Robert_McMillan@idg.com (Robert McMillan). Hmmm. Wonder how to avoid this? Don't open an untrusted attachment. There are no trusted attachments. 11:35:39 AM    comment []

HylaFAX I installed HylaFAX yesterday on a Fedora Core 4-based staging server, in preparation for installing on-site at a client. Installation was pretty easy, thanks to the clear RTFM provided on the website's documentation links. Then, I needed to test remote access to the server, so I installed PDFCreator and WinPrint HylaFAX, a Windows printer driver that prints to the HylaFAX server, on a WinXPPro workstation and confirmed I could create PDFs and "print" a fax directly out of Windows. Again, installation was pretty easy and configuration straight-forward. Now, to figure out where the errors could crop up - network disconnection, bad fax numbers, no answer - and ensure I understand where they appear and how to notify the operators about them. 9:17:52 AM    comment []
