For some time now we have been working on developing a Client email program that contains security features never before available. In order for us to make this program the best that it can possibly be, we ask your assistance by taking a few minutes to answer these important questions for us. Which of the following functions do you consider to be important or essential for an email program? For questions 1-7, please rate 1-5. (1 being the least important and 5 being most important). A client email program should have: Question 1: The ability to prevent certain attachments that may possibly be carrying a virus. (This allows you to accept only safe attachments) Importance Rating______ Question 2: Automatic searching for file attachments that have been renamed or tampered with. (Virus senders can rename vbs files to txt files hoping you will open them) Importance Rating______ Question 3: The ability to limit the size of incoming email and attachments. (Reduce time wasted downloading large files, graphics, audio files, jokes, etc.) Importance Rating______ Question 4: The ability to select the size of outgoing emails and attachments. (Saves bandwidth as large files are roughly doubled when transferred by email). Importance Rating______ Question 5: An encrypted Address Book. (This will stop worm viruses sending copies of itself to your clients and/or friends). Importance Rating______ Question 6: The ability to restrict the number of attachments and size of attachments sent or received. And the ability to the restrict types of attachments received. (Gives control to employers and eliminate privacy issues arising). Importance Rating______ Question 7: A viewable log file containing information such as; email deleted without being opened, when email was downloaded, when email was read (opened), if email was forwarded or replied to etc. (Mail management and accountability at a glance) Importance Rating______ Question 8: Has your company been the victim of a computer virus attack? Yes/No ________ Question 9: If yes to question 8, approximately how many hours did it take to fix the problem? Hours ________ Question 10: If an email program was developed with the above security features, would you be interested in trialing a free demonstration version? Yes/No ________ Question 11: What percentage of email traffic is personal email? __________% We sincerely thank you for your time in answering these important questions for us.

Actually, the Oxford Dictionary (J. Pearsall 1998) records three terms "demon" and two terms "daemon" which, furthermore, are semantically/orthographically related to one another, with one remarkable exception -- see below. Let us begin by considering the most important "demon" ("demon1"). The word has two main (or "core") meanings: 1) an evil spirit or devil, especially one thought to possess a person or act as a tormentor in hell (Oxford Dictionary, Pearsall 1998); From this "core" (ie central, most literal) meaning, other "subsenses" derive, e.g. by extension||shift||specialization: "a cruel, evil, or destructive person or thing; a forceful, fierce, or skilful performer of a specified activity(a demon cook; a demon for work), etc.; all of those meanings are described in the aforementioned Dictionary. 2)it is another term for "daemon1" (in sense 1). The word comes from Greek "daimon" (deity, genius) --> Latin (and medieval Latin) daemon --> Middle English; there was also a Latin variant daemonium (in sense 1: "lesser or evil spirit") actually deriving from the diminutive of "daimon". "Demon2" (chiefly Austral./NZ) bears no relation to our discussion; "demon3" is really a variant spelling of "daemon2" Now let us consider the words daemon1,2. "Daemon1" (also "daimon"), (core) sense 1 : (in ancient Greek belief) a divinity or supernatural being of a nature between gods and humans; subsense 1: an inner or attendant spirit or inspiring force. Sense 2: archaic spelling of demon1 :-) Please note: the variant "daimon" is identical to the Greek original spelling. Origin of "daemon1": mid 16th century: common spelling of "demon1" until the 19th century. "Daemon2" (also "demon") (Computing): a background process that handles requests for services [ quibusdam omissis ]. The Oxford definition of the technical meaning is not interesting (IMO); I prefer Grog's treatment (cf The Complete FreeBSD) :-)) The origin of this "daemon2", according to the Oxford Dictionary, is not certain. Maybe it comes from d(isk) a(nd) e(xecution) mon(itor), or from de(vice) mon(itor); or from a transferred use of demon1. I am more inclined to think of the last etymological hypothesis -- which, incidentally, is much nicer, too ;-)) Finally, let us take "devil" into account. Some meanings simply overlap with those of "demon" -- just to add to the confusion. "Devil" sense 1 ("the Devil", capital letter): (in Christian and Jewish belief) the supreme spirit of evil; Satan. A number of subsenses stem from here: e.g. "an evil spirit", " a demon"; a very wicked or cruel person, etc. The other meanings, essentially, are not relevant to our case. One final etymological remark. It may be thought-provoking to note that "devil" comes ultimately from Greek "dia(~across)+ballo(~I throw)" (ballo, aor. ebalon) whereas "symbol" comes from Greek "syn(~with)+ballo" ...

There is only one devil whereas there can be many demons. Not that either is a relevant question to FreeBSD in any case since we use a DAEMON. Notice the difference in spelling. It's a greek word which means "helpful spirit or worker." I suppose the closest english(?) word would be "genie." - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Sun Jun 18 20:11:33 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from zippy.osd.bsdi.com (zippy.cdrom.com [204.216.27.228]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D4ACF37B511 for ; Sun, 18 Jun 2000 20:11:31 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jkh@zippy.osd.bsdi.com) Received: from localhost (jkh@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by zippy.osd.bsdi.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id UAA71420; Sun, 18 Jun 2000 20:11:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jkh@zippy.osd.bsdi.com) To: Dirk GOUDERS Cc: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Translation problem In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 19 Jun 2000 03:27:14 +0200." <200006190127.DAA53541@musashi.et.bocholt.fh-ge.de> Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 20:11:33 -0700 Message-ID: <71417.961384293@localhost> From: "Jordan K.

"purple haze" is the name of a Jimi Hendrix song, ostensibly about LSD. :) > "...working on their new ``scratch and sniff'' GUI." "Scratch and sniff" is the term for odor-bearing advertisements and various books which have been published, where the reader is encouraged to scratch a little on the odor-impregnated paper to liberate some of the oils (or whatever they use for this) and then smell it. I suppose a scratch-and-sniff GUI would have you scratching on various parts of the screen to smell the windows underneath, also having preferences dialogs which let you set your desktop to "pleasant spring" or "desert wind" and such. Don't laugh so hard now guys, I just read a scientific american article about automatic synthesis of scents from 5 "base scents" under computer control - there's even a unit on sale now.

Can I suggest you contact Justin Gibbs . He's in the final throes of setting up the FreeBSD Foundation in the US, which will be a non-profit organisation that can accept donations like this -- if I understand things properly, this also means that the companies doing the donating can write the donations off against tax (or something like that anyway).

I've been working on this off and on. Rather than the approach I outline above, I've used doc.docbook.mk as the basis for a new doc.html.mk. Suppose someone's submitted a PR with some documentation in HTML (an article, perhaps), and no one seems to have the time to convert it to DocBook. In this scenario, we can still bring the documentation in to the tree. To do this, bring it in as doc/en*/articles//article.sgml. Then create a Makefile as normal. The only difference in the Makefile is that you have to include the line DOCFORMAT=html somewhere in there. Then, in conjunction with the attached doc.html.mk, and the patch to doc.project.mk, you can then do make 'FORMATS=ps pdf html html-split txt' (and all the other formats) and things work in the same way as they do for the DocBook documentation. With one caveat. Currently, doc.html.mk only supports a few output formats. If you try and do "make FORMATS=html" then it works. If you try "make FORMATS=ps" then it doesn't work, because doc.html.mk hasn't been taught how to convert HTML to PS yet. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS. I *know* that there are tools out there that will convert HTML to PS (and to sundry other formats as well). That's not what I want to concentrate on right now. Instead, I'd like people to take a look at doc.html.mk and tell me how I've screwed up. I'm sure there are easier ways to do some of the stuff, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if we can merge substantial chunks of doc.docbook.mk and doc.html.mk to make things easier to follow.

Make it more clear standard DOS/Win procedures cannot be used, just like.. 2.2.1.1. Creating the Boot Floppies First, you have to create two BSD format boot floppies. Those floppies cannot be created using standard DOS or windows tools. For more information, please read the installation boot image information.

It requires the entities in docs/19425. How do I write "Hello, world" in FreeBSD assembler? This program prints "Hello, world." on the standard output, and then exits with an exit status of 0. It is written for Intel machines, to be assembled by the GNU assembler, as. The syntax used by as is different from Intel's, but is common in the Unix world. See &man.as.1; or info as for details. This syntax is known as AT&T syntax. The most important difference for present purposes is that the order of operands is reversed: the source operand comes first, then the destination. In addition, a size suffix is appended to the opcodes. The program works by first calling &man.write.2; to write the message, and then calling &man.exit.2; to exit. 1: .data # Data section 2: 3: msg: .asciz "Hello, world.\n" # The string to print. 4: len = . - msg - 1 # The length of the string. 5: 5: .text # Code section. 6: .global _start 7: 8: _start: # Entry point. 10: pushl $len # Arg 3 to write: length of string. 11: pushl $msg # Arg 2: pointer to string. 12: pushl $1 # Arg 1: file descriptor. 13: movl $4, %eax # Write. 14: call do_syscall 15: addl $12, %esp # Clean stack. 16: 17: pushl $0 # Exit status. 18: movl $1, %eax # Exit. 19: call do_syscall 20: 21: do_syscall: 22: int $0x80 # Call kernel. 23: ret _start (line 8) is the default name for an ELF program's entry point. Arguments to system calls are placed on the stack from right to left, just as in C. Lines 10 through 12 push the arguments for &man.write.2; on the stack, and line 17 pushes the argument for &man.exit.2;. The caller is responsible for cleaning up the stack after control has returned from the call. System calls are made by putting the call's index in %eax (lines 13 and 18), and invoking int $0x80 (line 22). The kernel expects to find the first argument 4 bytes below the top of the stack, as it would be if the system call were made using the C library. Therefore, the invocation of int $0x80 is placed in its own function. The kernel puts the system call's return value in %eax. If there is an error, the carry flag is set, and %eax contains the error code. This program ignores the value returned by &man.write.2;. Assuming you saved the program as hello.s, assemble and link it with: &prompt.user; as -o hello.o hello.s &prompt.user; ld -o hello hello.o It is also possible to invoke system calls using the C library instead of using int $0x80. 1: .data 2: 3: msg: .string "Hello, world.\n" 4: len = . - msg - 1 5: 6: .text 7: .extern write 8: .extern exit 9: .global main 10: 11: main: 12: pushl $len 13: pushl $msg 14: pushl $1 15: call write 16: addl $12, %esp 17: 18: pushl $0 19: call exit Since we are linking with the C library, we must also use the C startup code, which means that the entry point to our program is now main (line 11) instead of _start. (the _start label is in the C startup code, which does some initialization and then calls main.) The easiest way to assemble and link this program is through cc, which will take care of linking in the proper startup modules in the correct order: &prompt.user; cc -o hello hello.s There is a lot of information available about assembly programming on Intel machines, but little if any of it applies to FreeBSD specifically. Most or all Intel assembly books and Web sites are about programming in an MS-DOS environment. These books can be useful for a FreeBSD programmer to the extent that they discuss general principles or the Intel instruction set, but of course nothing specific to MS-DOS or the PC BIOS will work under FreeBSD. There is some material on the Web concerning assembly programming under Linux, but even this does not always apply to FreeBSD, because Linux uses a different protocol for making system calls. Here are some Web links that you might find useful: Intel Manuals Reference manuals for Intel processors can be found here. Art of Assembly Language A well-regarded and very long (~1500 page) online textbook for assembly programming in MS-DOS. Linux Assembly Assembly programming under Linux. Some useful information for FreeBSD programmers, but be wary of the differences between FreeBSD and Linux. NASM If you prefer Intel syntax in your assembler, try NASM. It is in the FreeBSD ports system. comp.lang.asm.x86 Host page Contains links to other Intel assembly resources on the Web. Alpha Assembly Language Programmer's Guide Probably useful if you are running FreeBSD on an Alpha.

An easy example to pick on is the open(2) system call, which provides the non-standard flag O_EXLOCK. This flag is not mandated by POSIX and you run into serious trouble when you build cooperative software which uses this flag and then try to port it. I could have been saved hours of trouble if I'd seen a STANDARDS section at the bottom of the manual page. I understand that this is not something that many people can help me with, because the job requires access to the POSIX books, which are expensive. However, at this stage, I'd like to get feedback on the planned approach. Here's the STANDARDS section of the ls(1) manual page as it stands: STANDARDS The ls function is expected to be a superset of the IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') specification. I'd like to make it so: STANDARDS The ls utility conforms to the IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') specification and Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification with the following excep­ tions: · The following options are not defined in either specification: -A, -B, -G, -H, -L, -P, -T, -W, -b and -k. · The following options do not conform to the definitions found in Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification: -f, -g, -n, -o and -s. · The following options are defined in Version 2 of the Single UNIX Specification but are not implemented: -m, -p and -x. I'm focusing predominantly on POSIX, SUSv2 and ISO IEC 9899:1999 for this pass at the manual pages. I like the idea of having all the standards-related information in one section, which programmers (whether using C or the shell) can flip to and rely on. One danger in this approach, pointed out to me by Mark Murray, is that it is easy for new options to be added and existing options to be changed without regard for the STANDARDS section. While this is true, the alternative seems to be to clutter the rest of the manual page with parenthesized chirps for each option and characteristic. I don't like that idea, and I'd prefer to simply say that folks with an interest in the manual domain need to watch it like a hawk for bit rot. Some of us already do so. What I'm looking for now are either comments that suggest that my intended approach is a good idea, or comments that enlighten me by providing a much better way of achieving my stated goal. I'm _not_ looking for dismissive remarks that do not offer any kind of alternatives. :-) Thanks for your time. Ciao, Sheldon.

It would be nice to see SVID and a "BSD" spec added too. Often, when developing I just need it to run on both FreeBSD and NetBSD and occasionally, there are differences. With Apple having gone their own way, it is going to get complicated. Setting the BSD standard at 4.3BSD or something would be doable but then you run into problems with everyone going their own way with BSD. But SVID should be included. :) Jamie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Thu Jun 22 10:32: 1 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from smtp.ufl.edu (sp28fe.nerdc.ufl.edu [128.227.128.108]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6664237B54A for ; Thu, 22 Jun 2000 10:31:54 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from bobj@atlantic.net) Received: from scanner.engnet.ufl.edu (scanner.engnet.ufl.edu [128.227.152.221]) by smtp.ufl.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3/2.2.1) with SMTP id NAA120332; Thu, 22 Jun 2000 13:31:45 -0400 From: Bob Johnson To: Sheldon Hearn , doc@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Improving STANDARDS section of the manual domain Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 13:22:05 -0400 X-Mailer: KMail [version 1.0.28] Content-Type: text/plain References: <43674.961682800@axl.ops.uunet.co.za> In-Reply-To: <43674.961682800@axl.ops.uunet.co.za> MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <00062213314401.02384@scanner.engnet.ufl.edu> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Thu, 22 Jun 2000, Sheldon Hearn wrote: > [...] > One danger in this approach, pointed out to me by Mark Murray, is that > it is easy for new options to be added and existing options to be > changed without regard for the STANDARDS section. > > While this is true, the alternative seems to be to clutter the rest > of the manual page with parenthesized chirps for each option and > characteristic.

The idea would be to set up a system to watch for changes in one that need to be investigated for their impact on the other. You obviously can't try to catch everything this way or you'd just link the entire page back to the STANDARDS section, which gains you nothing. But you could link individual descriptions of options to corresponding phrases in the STANDARDS section, so that if the description of the option changes, a STANDARDS reviewer can be alerted to check to see whether compliance has changed. -- Bob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Thu Jun 22 17: 1:18 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk (static98.conference.usenix.org [209.179.127.98]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B137237BAC7; Thu, 22 Jun 2000 17:01:12 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from nik@nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk) Received: (from nik@localhost) by nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id UAA01874; Thu, 22 Jun 2000 20:50:41 GMT (envelope-from nik) Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2000 20:50:39 +0000 From: Nik Clayton To: Christoph Sold Cc: Nik Clayton , Doug Young , freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Newbie Docs Message-ID: <20000622205038.A640@kilt.nothing-going-on.org> References: <37B38B12.A1E9D43C@gargoyle.apana.org.au> <20000620194349.A418@kilt.nothing-going-on.org> <3950F5E7.33134061@i-clue.de> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2i In-Reply-To: <3950F5E7.33134061@i-clue.de>; from so@server.i-clue.de on Wed, Jun 21, 2000 at 07:05:43PM +0200 Organization: FreeBSD Project Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Wed, Jun 21, 2000 at 07:05:43PM +0200, Christoph Sold wrote: > Nik Clayton wrote: > > On Fri, Aug 13, 1999 at 01:03:49PM +1000, Doug Young wrote: > > > One thing I would like to see in the newbie documentation area is really > > > detailed step by step info on making installation floppies.

I found a contradiction in your Doc, concerning Mitsumi's CD-ROM.

In the FAQ (http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/hardware.html#AEN1014= ), you can read :


Q: Which CD-ROM drives are supported by FreeBSD?

A: Any SCSI drive connected to a supported controller is supported.
The following proprietary CD-ROM interfaces are also supported:
     Mitsumi LU002 (8bit), LU005 (16bit) an= d FX001D (16bit 2x Speed).
     Sony CDU 31/33A
     Sound Blaster Non-SCSI CD-ROM
     Matsushita/Panasonic CD-ROM
     ATAPI compatible IDE CD-ROMs



In the handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-hw.= html), au contraire, you find :


Unmaintained drivers, which might or might not work for your hardware:      Floppy tape interface (Colorado/Mountain/Insi= ght)
     mcd - Mitsumi proprietary CD-ROM interface= (all models)

As you can imagine, I own a Mitsumi FX001D, and the kernel configur= ation program does not detect it. So, I suppose the FAQs are wrong.

Thank you for answering,

Elvio

You'd be more familiar with keeps if you were more closely aligned with the NetBSD crowd, who use it strictly. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.

Before installing Communicator 4.7, be sure to read the Release Notes, which describe known problems and installation issues: http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/4.7/relnotes/windows-4.7.html To submit bugs or other feedback, from the Help menu choose Product Information and Support. ================================================================== Installation Instructions ================================================================== * Installation To run Communicator, you MUST have a 32-bit TCP/IP stack. Both Windows 95 and Windows NT provide built-in 32-bit TCP/IP stacks that you can set up. You can also get TCP/IP software from third-party vendors, such as Trumpet Software or Ftp Software. To obtain a copy of Netscape Communicator, download one of the self-extracting executable files into a temporary directory. For Communicator Base: cb32e47.exe (standard installation with export encryption) cb32d47.exe (standard installation with domestic encryption) For Communicator Complete: cc32e47.exe (includes multimedia plug-ins with export encryption) cc32d47.exe (includes multimedia plug-ins with domestic encryption) For Communicator Enterprise with Calendar: cp32e47.exe (export encryption) cp32d47.exe (domestic encryption) To start the installation process, double-click the self-extracting file. * Windows 95 and Windows NT users: if you are using any version of Communicator prior to 4.7, you will get multiple uninstall entries in your Add/Remove program. To avoid these multiple entries, uninstall your previous version of Communicator before you install the new release. * The Netscape Audio Plug-in only works if you have a sound card installed and configured properly. This plug-in does not work with the PC speaker driver. To configure the sound card, check the documentation that came with your sound card. * If you previously installed CoolTalk Watchdog, you need to uninstall the Communicator version you have and restart your system before installing Communicator 4.7. You might experience problems running Cooltalk with Matrox MGA Millennium graphic adapters using early Windows 95 drivers. Make sure that you are running version 2.22.039 or later. * If you uninstalled an earlier version of Communicator, restart your system before installing the latest version of Communicator. Restarting deletes old Communicator files that may exist. --------------47F53AA9CF48D4F8228383FC Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=koi8-r; name="zu3000.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for zu KL Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="zu3000.vcf" begin:vcard n:;zu x-mozilla-html:TRUE adr:;;;;;; version:2.1 email;internet:zu3000@yahoo.com fn:zu end:vcard --------------47F53AA9CF48D4F8228383FC-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-doc Sat Jun 24 2:18:13 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-doc@freebsd.org Received: from bungee.lantic.co.za (bungee.lantic.co.za [196.25.208.10]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D430337BC14; Sat, 24 Jun 2000 02:17:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from akruger@lantic.co.za) Received: from akruger (kp53-01-p159.nt.saix.net [155.239.200.159]) by bungee.lantic.co.za (8.9.0/8.8.7) with SMTP id XAA25566; Fri, 23 Jun 2000 23:10:48 GMT Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2000 23:10:48 GMT Message-Id: <200006232310.XAA25566@bungee.lantic.co.za> To: eblood@cs.unr.edu From: akruger@lantic.co.za Subject: Try it before you buy it !

Free Post Launch By IvoryGee There are a number important factors that increase the chances of any net worker becoming successful. The most important of which is the momentum and excitement of actively sponsoring new members. How would you like to know that you have an existing down line and team in place to continue to help you develop a network BEFORE you ever sign up or invest a penny? With our Post Launch program you can! Post launch is similar to a pre launch with two main differences. Post launch places a large group of excited individuals into an established Marketing program instead of a Marketing plan that may only be testing the waters (80% of new MLM's go defunct in the first year of business). Secondly, our program uses a new TEAM concept to help you to build a network. There is absolutely no risk to get involved and no cost to join Post Launch. For more information, go to: Post launch http://www.angelfire.com/biz6/Ivorygee/index.html Adrian Kruger You have nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain !
