No. In 13 years, the number of discovered and currently exploited
vulnerabilities is quite high. Your big vulnerabilities would probably
include worms and various service attacks against network services
like any Apache servers and OpoenSSH servers, which wouldn't have
gotten any patches in over a dozen years.

If you needed to play with it, you might be able ot find a virtual
machine environment in which it would run and you could seriously
isolate and firewall around it to do some playing around, but I
suspect it's really not worth your time as a modern programmer.

Though it may not heve been written in C it is very unlikely that those
programs were written directly in binary or hex. The manufacturer of
the device has the source but they refuse to release it.

You might read what I actually read - that I had been running *nix from

was not alive then, sonny.

 

Just trying to understand your point - which was not well made.
 

You no likey - you no gotta usey! Linux is all about CHOICE! Sonny.

Because this is Usenet, Sid. People come and go, and many people just
lurk.

By the way, you may never have seen TJ post, but I have, in another
newsgroup.
 

A perfect description of Sidney Lambe, also known among many others as
Alan Connor, Tom Newton, Evergreen and Bruce something.

<snip the rest of Sid's self-stigmatizing rant>
 

Well, he does frequent this one, and /comp.os.linux.setup,/
and /alt.os.linux./ And I'm in those too.
 

Talking behind my back again, huh? :p
 

Yep, a nice future awaits me. :p
 

He's too paranoid to see someone about his paranoia. Besides, the big
corporations are out to get him, because he dare stand up against the
GDE's, in which they have invested quadrillions of dollars. Or
something. :p
 

That's Alan Connor, Sidney Lambe, Tom Newton, Bruce Burhans for ya. He
does it every time, regardless of how polite and courteous you are.
And then he posts things like "Boohoo, why do they hate me?" <grin>
 

Not quite. :p
 

The man is a walking parody of himself. ;-)

Can rsync be used to back up system settings/configurations?

Not just. If you do a clean installation, in many cases, users like
'named' or 'httpd' or 'nagios' can wind up with different uid's and
gid's, so you can't just slap in the old /etc/
{groups,passwd,shadow,gshadow} files to restore the old accounts. But
a well thought out on-line backup system, such as rsync and rsnapshot,
can include '/etc/' and give you access to those files. (OK, leave
out /etc/gconf.d/: that directory should be in /var anyway, not /
etc/!)

That's partly why I like using real package management (such as deb or
RPM) and being sure to get a list of all the software packages nightly
(such as /var/log/rpmpkgs). It provides a better chance of knowing
what that system had in place, rather than having to decipher whatever
people happened to install in /usr/local/bin from goddess-only-knows
what source tree.
