Meeting Notes Feb 2006

ByT.K.

Topics discussed were:

finding hackers:
RKHUNTER appears to be better at finding problems then stuff like chkroot kit, which is older. fixing hacked machine permissions with the he chattr command.

Embedded Linux
Linux devices
 admin tools

New Directory Services that help link Linux and Unix with Windoze.
RHDS (Red Hat Directory Server)

Package managers for managing and creating repositories.
YUM
apt-get cfengine for managing servers.

Ubunto and how it can be used to run Quake 3 on Linux. Also, how it does not have many of the developer tools needed. Ubunto seems good for a desktop distro if you dont need make and GCC.
