schestowitzIt's in the blog's front page. MS uses LikeWise with its recently Linux "patent deal" (LikeWise are former MSFT employees) to stomp on Samba.Oct 19 13:00
schestowitz> I'm seeing Likewise turning up in a few posts over at Ubuntu Forums.Oct 19 13:40
schestowitz> The project is unprepared (and unwilling) to deal with astroturfersOct 19 13:40
schestowitz> and shills.Oct 19 13:40
schestowitzThe role of Likewise, IMHO, is to replace Samba with Microsoft's proxy, which will pay Microsoft the fees that Samba got exemptions from after the European Commission's ruling. TBH, Samba seems too shy to nag about it, but there was an article in ZDNet (IIRC) over a year ago where Allison gently raised the issue. I haven't spoke to him in years and I would resiste to ask him about it.Oct 19 13:40
abeNd-orgso the fix for microsoft users, is to use a microsoft product emulator, that actually doesnt do as much as the product it is trying to emulate? (in a large university/corporate environment there is a lot of issues with samba)Oct 19 13:48
MinceRthey should instead use some sane file transfer protocol or network file systemOct 19 13:49
abeNd-organd when you can start getting large vendors to support linux clients, openldap auth, etc that would be greatOct 19 13:51
abeNd-orgdoes clamav have realtime scanning yet, or still just scheduled?Oct 19 13:51
MinceRdunnoOct 19 13:52
MinceRi have no reason to fear malware that muchOct 19 13:52
abeNd-org*you* noOct 19 13:54
abeNd-org*users* yesOct 19 13:54
abeNd-orgthink a bit outside of your own little box, about large companies where the average worker thinks the latest harlot has sent HIM DIRECTLY the latest nekkid photos of her!!! OMG HES SO SPECIAL. Now why someone would open material like that at WORK for 1 I don't get....but 2 the idiot should know by now it is a virus!Oct 19 13:55
MinceRyou do realize clamav supports email scanning, right?Oct 19 13:56
abeNd-orgits a 0 day threat, so it got past av/antispam/etcOct 19 13:56
MinceRit got past av, so naturally "realtime scanning" will catch itOct 19 13:56
MinceRit got past av, so av will catch itOct 19 13:57
MinceRyes, logicalOct 19 13:57
abeNd-orgno, not saying that, don't mix up my previous question with what i am talking about nowOct 19 13:57
MinceRwhat are you talking about, then?Oct 19 13:57
abeNd-orgreferring to your more or less "linux got no virus problems" statementOct 19 13:58
MinceRi did not say thatOct 19 13:58
MinceRi said i have no reason to fear malware so much as to use "realtime" (which i assume means on-access) scanningOct 19 13:58
MinceRthis isn't windows so executables don't get continually clobberedOct 19 13:59
MinceRespecially not by non-root processes :>Oct 19 13:59
MinceRalso, gnu/linux systems that simply won't let you change/run a new/changed executable until the security officer allows that file to be run have existed for agesOct 19 14:01
MinceRthere are countless better ways to defend a corporation's systems against malware than slowing down file reads by orders of magnitudeOct 19 14:01
MinceR(probably writes also)Oct 19 14:02
MinceRi've heard there are efforts to implement on-access scanning, i just don't see the serious need for itOct 19 14:02
abeNd-orghow much do you actually deal with users? they do amazing things to get around system/network/internet lock downs in order to not do their job, not caring about security at any point (be it their own identity or the company's data)Oct 19 14:04
MinceRi've dealt with corporate systems, i'm very well aware that they can lock their computers down against tampering if they want toOct 19 14:05
abeNd-orgoh, they can, they try, and do, but never underestimate the stupidity of a user, or school kidsOct 19 14:06
MinceRit's not about stupidity, it's about how secure the platform isOct 19 14:07
schestowitzschools kids are sometimes smarter than the formerOct 19 14:07
schestowitzesp. those that grow up on unixOct 19 14:07
MinceR(and how secure the actual deployment is)Oct 19 14:07
abeNd-orgyea, those little buggers will find any way they can around even the most secure systems to screw things up, or surf pr0n, etcOct 19 14:08
*abeNd-org has quit (Quit: work! work!)Oct 19 14:08
MinceRyes, because all systems are so insecure that stupid kids can break themOct 19 14:08
*MinceR suspects abend-org learned what he knows about IT from hollywood moviesOct 19 14:08
MinceRperhaps that's where the attitude comes from, tooOct 19 14:08
MinceRgood thing there's one thing they can't disable: on-access scanningOct 19 14:10
MinceRoh waitOct 19 14:10
schestowitzthere is always some fancy "enter your password" screenOct 19 14:33
schestowitzwith big charactersOct 19 14:33
schestowitzmaybe ubuntu should make it "just like in the movies"Oct 19 14:33
