IPFW
Here's the situation. I run a low traffic family history/genealogy website on my local box. My "customers" are family members who access the site from their home machines, all of which - so far as I can tell - use dynamic ip addresses. My current firewall policy is "accept all", with daily additions to my bad guys (block) list. It's becoming tiresome, however, and I'd like to change policy to "deny all" while still allowing my present "customers" and any future additions relative ease of access. I'm fairly comfortable with IPFW confi...

Changing iptable policy
All, I am trying to use set up a syslog server to capture syslog events outside a firewall. So, I am using Redhat 9.0 (Linux version 2.4.20-8) and IPTABLES to prevent unwanted access. The issue I am having is changing the policy. I want to create a new chain and have the policy to changed to DROP. Each time I enter the command iptables -P FIRE DROP, I get the following error message: iptables: Bad built-in chain name However, if I change one of the default chains of INPUT, FORWARD or OUTPUT with the command iptables -P INPUT DROP, the command is accepted. What am I missing? tjcreek55@y...

Second problem is that when i give shutdown command my system goes down but gives me a message of "power down" or "system halted" and then i have to manually switch the system...

ALLOCATE and contiguous memory
Are ALLOCATABLE arrays stored in contiguous memory, as regular arrays are? There is a post in another thread which involves an array that seems to be passed to a C program that expects an array contiguously stored in memory. The user is calling it with an ALLOCATABLE array, but then the documentation doesn't say not to do that. -- glen "glen herrmannsfeldt" <gah@ugcs.caltech.edu> wrote in message news:AmMad.351665$mD.221142@attbi_s02... > Are ALLOCATABLE arrays stored in contiguous memory, as > regular arrays are? > "A non-pointer array occupies a seque...

Is string allocation contiguous?
We know that vector<T> is required to be contiguous, that is, &vec[i] == &vec[0] + i if i < vec.size() But what about basic_string? Originally, it was specified that str[i] == str.data()[i] if i < str.size() This of course can't happen in the non-const case, but I assume that implementations use a non-const "_internal_data()". Anyway, the above statement implies &str[i] == &str[0] + i, which is the same as for vectors. The current working paper modifies this paragraph (21.3.4) as: str[i] == *(str.begin()+i) if i &...

Sun changes patch policy
As announced on SunSolve, there will be further changes to Sun's patch access policy. Access to the anonymous FTP server to download patches will cease from August 2006. Additionally, any access to Sun patches without a Service Plan will require a "Sun Online Account" and the acceptance of the Software License Agreement from mid July 2006.

[Newbie] changing allocated memory
the only arg to a class is a string : VALUE target_path internally i redefine this input var sometime, not always. if it's redefine i get something like that : /Users/yvon/Desktop/raliasrecord-0.0.1 <= input /Users/yvon/work/Ruby/Native/raliasrec <= output where the output should be : /Users/yvon/work/Ruby/Native/raliasrecord-0.0.1 this string being passed by a pointer, how do i reallocate memory for it ? using another internal var ? is their a cleaner/clever way ? -- une b�vue Une b=E9vue wrote: > the only arg to a class is a string : > > VALUE target_path > &...

Apple change their notification policy?
Okay, I ordered a 24" iMac and the new airport router. I got to wondering why I got no notification of them, not even a confirmation email on the order. I *know* they have my address, but it has worked in the past for other orders, and I get the little marketing blurb stuff from them periodically. (Yes, I could turn it off probably). Well anyway, luckily I had printed the order page when I submitted it, so I went and the order status lookup on the web and sure enough not only is the order in the system, but the iMac itself has already shipped, the base station is supposed to ...
