Hmm, I didn't think of that. I will check the docs some more and see if
there's a way to recreate the links.

Thanks for the input.

I encountered similar problems with a different (Ralink) card, that
works fine under Windows. In addition to a very poor data rate,
disconnects and so on, my system tended to crash every now and then. It
seems to be a driver problem, at least all the problems disappeared
after I disabled the wireless device and connected my router by wire.

yes, booting windows (XP) is not a problem. I decided to use wingrub
so that MBR would stay intact.
but booting Solaris is a problem. I did, however, manage to boot into
it by typing commands in grub console.
the Windows (SATA) HDD is set as primary in bios.

here is how it should look:

NTLDR MBR on SATA: xp|wingrub
wingrub: chainload Solaris grub


so, the problematic wingrubs menu.lst should contain only one entry
(for now) and that is "chainload
Solaris"

hardening Linux

The *simple* answer is don't install things you don't need, like "Do you
really need gcc on an Internet-facing web server?" Actually figuring
out what you don't need can be a challenge.

SANS (www.sans.org) is an organization devoted to secure system and
network administration. It has an extensive reading room of contributed
materials, which are free. It also *sells* a pdf on hardening Linux
step-by-step, which may be a bit out of date by now, although they do
update it from time to time. Note that SANS is *not* Linux-specific.
You'll find stuff there on Windows, Cisco, etc., too.

There's Bastille (aka Bastille-Linux.org or Bastille-UNIX.org). It's a
set of scripts that will either do a bunch of stuff to harden your box
or just run a report to tell you what it would do if you let it. I
recommend the second option. It doesn't work on every distro, though.

There's Armor (www.spitzner.net/armoring.html) and Titan (which became
Sun JASS), which are for Sun Solaris and are kind of old by now, but the
ideas still apply.

Then there's SELinux, on which folks have already commented. It keeps
processes from doing things they're not allowed to do, even if they're
running as root. I think it's actually become quite usable under
Fedora. YMMV on other distros. It's definitely not for beginners, but
you don't have to be a 10-dimensional chess grand master in your spare
time, either.

How do you use Emacs to sort RMAIL email based on SpamAssassinheaders?...

Such as Gnus, which runs under Emacs and does much more than Rmail ever
did. It can easily do the sorting you want. Sample .gnus entry:

(setq nnmail-split-methods
'(("spam" "^X-Spam-Flag: YES\\|^X-Spam-Score:")
("debian-announce" "^X-Mailing-List: <debian.org>")
("debian-user" "^X-Mailing-List: <debian.org>")
("debian-devel" "^X-Mailing-List: <debian.org>")
("debian-changes" "^X-Mailing-List: <debian.org>")
("debian-devel-announce" "^X-Mailing-List: <debian.org>")
("debian-amd64" "^X-Mailing-List: <debian.org>")))


I use Mailagent to presort our mail, deleting high-scoring spam.

You are right. I plugged the thing in and it worked. I got 4 out of
the 5 resolutions I asked for in xorg.conf.

Thanks for responding.

But still not a bad precaution.

I generally find win2k corrupted registries are cause by RAM or HD problems

before you do a lot of trouble-shooting it's good to confirm that your
hardware is OK
