Vger triggering alerts

[Dale Amon]

Any one have an idea why I'd be getting these snort alerts
from vger mail transactions?

I've seen similar from a number of sites. You might want
to run the packets through ethereal or tcpdump or similar
to verify it, but the ones I've investigated have ended up
being ECN packets - seems snort isn't yet smart enough to
understand the ECN extensions to TCP...

Compressed fs's

[Dale Amon]

Does anyone know what happened to the CBD project?

Or if there is a version of the cloop kernel module
updated to work with 2.4.x?

I believe there was a thread about this a few weeks back.  At that point
there wasn't a version against 2.4 yet...

ALERT!!!! Attempt to outlaw open source Operating systems

[Dale Amon]

If you are not aware of the Fritz Hollings bill that
is going into possibly closed hearing in two days, I
think you had all better get on it:

http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=01/10/19/154624

This bill could make open source operating systems illegal
in the USA.
