In the last few articles, we've looked at creating users and password policies. Password policies are just one layer in the many-layered approach needed to create a secure computing environment that protects both users and resources.
Also from FreeBSD Basics:
If you recall from the article on the System Startup Daemon
init, there are three types of terminals on your FreeBSD system, as there are three different ways of accessing a computer running FreeBSD.
The first method is to physically walk up to a FreeBSD box and type in a username and password at a login prompt. The second is to dial into a FreeBSD system using a dial-up modem and a phone number. The third is to access the FreeBSD system over a network connection using an IP address.
In the next few articles, I'd like to concentrate on network connections. Since FreeBSD uses TCP/IP as its networking protocol, let's start by reviewing the basics of TCP/IP. You may want to take a few moments to skim over the article Networking with TCP/IP to remind yourself how TCP/IP ports and IPV4 addresses work.
TCP/IP applications always have 2 components: the server component, also called the daemon, "listens" for connection requests; the client component "initiates" connection requests. In order for two computers to share data using a TCP/IP application, one computer must use the client component and the other computer must provide the server component. Let's take a look at the snipped output of the following command:
apropos ftp
ftp(1), pftp(1), gate-ftp(1) - ARPANET file transfer program
ftpd(8) - Internet File Transfer Protocol server
Notice the two results for
ftp(1) is the client portion while
ftpd(8) is the server portion of the ftp application protocol. Often you'll see the letter
d after an application name; the
d represents the daemon so you know that it is the server component. If you read the manpage for
ftp, you'll learn how to use the FTP client to transfer files to and from a remote site. However, if you read the manpage for
ftpd, you'll learn how to configure server issues such as welcome screens, authentication methods, and logging.
In order for users to connect to your FreeBSD system over a network, they need to have the client component of the application they wish to use, and the matching server component must be listening for requests on your computer. For example, a user can use a telnet client to connect to your telnet daemon. However, if your telnet daemon is not listening for requests, a connection can not be created and the user will instead receive an error message.
It's important to know which of your daemons are listening for requests to ensure that network users aren't connecting to services you're not aware of, and users are able to connect to the services you wish them to connect to. One way of determining which of your daemons are waiting for connection requests from clients is to use the
sockstat command:
whatis sockstat
sockstat(1) - list open sockets
sockstat utility will show which daemons will accept IPV4 requests, IPV6 requests, and local Unix requests. If you just type
sockstat, it will show all three types of requests; to specify one type of request, use the
-6, or
-u switches with the command. Let's see which daemons on my computer are waiting for connection requests from clients running IPV4:
sockstat -4
tty comsat 8372 0 udp4 *:512 *:*
tty comsat 8372 1 udp4 *:512 *:*
tty comsat 8372 2 udp4 *:512 *:*
genisis navigato 3758 20 tcp4 22.214.171.124:4472 18.104.22.168:80
genisis navigato 3758 30 tcp4 188.8.131.52:4469 188.8.131.52:80
root XF86_SVG 3752 0 tcp4 *:6000 *:*
root sshd 185 4 tcp4 *:22 *:*
root sendmail 181 4 tcp4 *:25 *:*
root sendmail 181 5 tcp4 *:587 *:*
root lpd 177 6 tcp4 *:515 *:*
root inetd 172 4 tcp4 *:21 *:*
root inetd 172 5 tcp4 *:23 *:*
root inetd 172 6 udp4 *:512 *:*
root inetd 172 7 udp4 *:518 *:*
root inetd 172 8 udp4 *:69 *:*
daemon portmap 152 3 udp4 *:111 *:*
daemon portmap 152 4 tcp4 *:111 *:*
root syslogd 149 4 udp4 *:514 *:*
root dhclient 125 3 udp4 *:* *:*
root dhclient 125 6 udp4 *:68 *:*
Let's pick apart this output. Notice that each listening daemon is a process as it has a PID. Also, each daemon has the choice of using either the TCP or the UDP transport protocol; you may notice that
portmap actually uses both. The local address section shows either which port that daemon listens on, or the socket for a connection that has already been established.
Remember that there are thousands of TCP/IP application protocols, and each one has been assigned a port number. This number is used by the client to indicate which daemon it wishes to make a connection to. For example, the port number for SMTP is 25 and the port number for HTTP is 80. Since clients request connections by using a port number, the associated daemon listens for requests on that port number.
If you are unsure which application is associated with a certain port number, do a
grep through the
/etc/services file. For example, let's concentrate on this line in our output:
tty comsat 8372 0 udp4 *:512 *:*
^^ ^^^
To see which daemon is listening on the local address port number of 512, we could issue this command:
cat /etc/services | grep -w 512
aed-512 149/tcp #AED 512 Emulation Service
aed-512 149/udp #AED 512 Emulation Service
exec 512/tcp #remote process execution;
biff 512/udp comsat #used by mail system to notify users
Even though we received four results, only one matches port number 512 using UDP. Let's see what
biff is:
whatis biff
biff(1) - be notified if mail arrives and who it is from
comsat(8) - biff server
It's not surprising that we received two results back from our
whatis command, since we're dealing with a TCP/IP application. The client portion of this application is called
biff, and the server portion is called
comsat, or the biff server. Notice that the word
comsat occurs under the COMMAND section of our sockstat output as it is the daemon that has the PID of 8372 that is listening on port 512 of my FreeBSD system.
Now let's concentrate on this line of output:
genisis navigato 3758 20 tcp4 184.108.40.206:4472 18.104.22.168:80
This line represents an active TCP connection on my computer. You'll notice that both the local address and foreign address sections are filled in with an IP address followed by a colon followed by a port number. An IP address followed by a port number is called a socket, hence the name of the utility we are using. You may recognize the port number of 80 as belonging to HTTP; let's see what port 4472 is:
cat /etc/services | grep -w 4472
If you try the above command, you won't receive any results, just your command prompt back. To understand why, we need to look at how TCP connections are established.
TCP/IP applications actually have a choice of two transports, or the protocols used to "transport" the data between the server and the client. If an application uses the TCP transport, a logical connection is first created between the client and the server; once this connection has been established, "streams" of data can flow between the server and the client. If an application uses the UDP transport, no connection is created; instead the client sends out a "datagram" of information in the hopes that it is received by the server.
To create the necessary connection, TCP uses a mechanism known as the "three-way handshake," as three packets are required to fully establish the connection. The first packet is sent out by the client and indicates which port number or application it wishes to make a connection with. The second packet is sent out by the server and includes the socket. Since the server needs to keep the original port number open so it can continue to listen for requests from other clients, it will choose a random, high port number not being used by any other daemon. It will "bind" the IP address of the client to that port number to create the socket. The IP address of the client is important, as a daemon may actually be responding to several clients at a time; for example, an FTP server may have many clients logged in simultaneously and needs to ensure that it is sending the correct data to the correct client. Finally, the third packet is sent by the client; it contains information confirming that it knows what socket it is bound to and states that it is ready for data transfer to occur.
Returning to our example:
genisis navigato 3758 20 tcp4 184.108.40.206:4472 220.127.116.11:80
The user genisis used Netscape Navigator (an HTTP client) to access the httpd or web server running on port 80 of a computer with the IP address of 22.214.171.124. The httpd responded by choosing to bind port number 4472 to my IP address of 184.108.40.206. The reason why port 4472 did not show up in our
grep of
/etc/services is because it represents a socket or open connection, not a listening service.
If the sockstat output had shown this instead:
22.214.171.124:80 126.96.36.199:4472
it would indicate that a user on a computer with the IP address of 220.127.116.11 had made a connection to my web server using port 80. To summarize, if a port number in the LOCAL ADDRESS column is found in the
/etc/services file, it either represents a daemon on your computer listening for requests or it will be bound to the IP address of a client that has already established a connection with one of your daemons. If a port number used in a socket under the LOCAL ADDRESS column does not appear in
/etc/services, it means that your computer used a client application to connect to another computer running TCP/IP.
The last thing I'd like you to notice in the
sockstat output are the lines that mention
root inetd 172 4 tcp4 *:21 *:*
root inetd 172 5 tcp4 *:23 *:*
root inetd 172 6 udp4 *:512 *:*
root inetd 172 7 udp4 *:518 *:*
root inetd 172 8 udp4 *:69 *:*
You'll notice that this one command has one PID, but it is actually listening on five different ports. Let's
grep /etc/services to see what applications those ports represent:
cat /etc/services | grep -w 21
ftp 21/tcp #File Transfer [Control]
ftp 21/udp #File Transfer [Control]
cat /etc/services | grep -w 23
telnet 23/tcp
telnet 23/udp
cat /etc/services | grep -w 512
aed-512 149/tcp #AED 512 Emulation Service
aed-512 149/udp #AED 512 Emulation Service
exec 512/tcp #remote process execution;
biff 512/udp comsat #used by mail system to notify users
cat /etc/services | grep -w 518
ntalk 518/tcp
ntalk 518/udp
cat /etc/services | grep -w 69
tftp 69/tcp #Trivial File Transfer
tftp 69/udp #Trivial File Transfer
It looks like this one daemon is listening on behalf of the
ntalk, and
tftp protocols. Now let's see what
inetd is:
whatis inetd
inetd.conf(5), inetd(5) - internet super-server
Looks like it is the internet super-server and that it has its own configuration file. The
inet daemon was created to save resources on Unix systems. Rather than creating processes for daemons that may not be used that often, this one daemon will listen on behalf of other daemons. If a client requests a connection on a port that is monitored by
inetd will start a process for the daemon normally associated with that port so it can respond to the client's request. The configuration file tells inetd which ports to listen on; for example, if you don't want your FreeBSD computer to accept FTP connection requests, you need to tell
inetd not to listen on port 21 on behalf of the FTP daemon.
Let's take a look at
inetd's configuration file:
ls -l /etc/inetd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4859 Jan 9 09:34 /etc/inetd.conf
It looks like anyone can read this file, but only the superuser can edit it. Let's take a look at the top few lines of this file; I've snipped the output of my "more" command:
more /etc/inetd.conf
# $FreeBSD: src/etc/inetd.conf,v 126.96.36.199 2000/10/04 07:58:51 kris Exp $
# Internet server configuration database

#exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rexecd rexecd
#uucpd stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/uucpd uucpd
#nntp stream tcp nowait usenet /usr/libexec/nntpd nntpd
# run comsat as root to be able to print partial mailbox contents w/ biff,
# or use the safer tty:tty to just print that new mail has been received.
comsat dgram udp wait tty:tty /usr/libexec/comsat comsat
ntalk dgram udp wait tty:tty /usr/libexec/ntalkd ntalkd
tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd /tftpboot
#bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd
You'll notice that this file contains a line for every daemon that
inetd can listen on behalf of. If a line begins with the comment character
inetd will not listen on the port associated with that daemon. For the lines that have not been commented out,
inetd needs the following information in this order:
/etc/services and know which port number to listen on
inetd should wait for the daemon to finish transferring data to the client or not bother waiting before listening for more client requests on the port number
Notice that in my
/etc/inetd.conf file, there are five lines that have not been commented out. Not surprisingly, these lines are for the five services that showed up under
inetd's PID in the output of my
sockstat command.
Next week, let's take a closer look at
inetd's configuration file and see how it is integrated into the TCP wrappers program.

It's Over
The World Series is over, and it didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it. I guess the people at Macy's weren't psychic or magical after all.
Congrats to the Yankees, winning it last night 4 games to 2. The Yankees seemed to be able to capitalize on almost every miscue the Phillies made in the Series. The Phillies played hard, but in the end the magic ran out, and there would be no come-from-behind victory.
Surprisingly, I'm not in as bad a mood today as I thought I'd be. I'm not going to think about baseball the rest of the day (well, try not to, anyway).
I'm going to relax in front of the TV tonight, catch up on missed episodes of Desperate Housewives and CSI: New York, and not have to get a brain cramp while trying to beam positive thoughts to the Phillies. But I'll be back tomorrow with a collection of random World Series thoughts🙂.
7 Comments
From a Yankee fan to a Phillie fan, this is probably the maturest blog I've read today.
This series was great. If the Phils had a couple of key people step up like everyone expected (ie Howard, Rollins), and if Hamels was Hamels of last year, we'd be watching game 7 tonight.
I'm pretty sure you'll be back there again next year.
Now I cant believe you watch desperate housewives….and that show with NY in it…LOL I did exactly the same thing except it was NCIS and Bones….LOL
Looking forward to see the off-season moves and spring training is just a few snow falls away….
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Yeah, so much for the magic of Macy's…try again next year :O) You are gonna love the latest CSI: NY…just watched it :O) And Bones, and House and Dexter…Oh, all the TV I have missed! LOL
Thanks, thefreak. You know we're all hoping Hamels can rebound next season. And I hope you're right about the Phillies being back🙂.
Peter – DH is actually one of my fave shows. The dialogue this season is much improved, very funny and full of double entendres. I am definitely counting the days to ST!
Jenn – Watched DH last night, will be watching CSI tonight. How much longer until Lost starts back up?
I love that pic of the cat with the remote! Did you take it, Sue? I know what a pro photographer you are. Yes, it's all over now and it's back to "real life." Sigh. I haven't seen "Desperate Housewives" in so long that it would take me a whole season to catch up. I'm thinking of throwing myself into….hockey? Or maybe the Food Network?
Your guys put up a good fight Sue. The Hot Stove Season promises to be wild and crazy. I'm looking forward to it.
Jane – No cats in my house, my husband doesn't like them too much. That's just a photo I found doing a Google search. Hockey? Not for me. I'll probably watch some football, but it's just not the same.
Julia – Yes, it should be very interesting. The Phillies did not pick up Feliz's option so I'm wondering who they've got in their sights to play third.

Nude guys riding a horse are extremely sexy. Actually, horse riding was used for centuries as a symbolic image to convey the SEX act, in paintings.
Nice….. Where are the X rated versions?
The black men on the Nude Horseman & Daniel's Stable are steaming me big time.
what about a pic or two of Nacho Figueras? he's steaming hot in his polo gear. or, shots from one or two gay rodeos? REAL chaps over tight jeans on a tight butt…………….it doesn't get sexier
Yessssss!!!! I love polo. I love the look of a man in breeches and riding boots and even a guy who can pull off knee high boots in a casual and masculine way just for fashion. I have almost never seen guys in America wear them for fashion (I think I've seen it only in NY and LA) but have seen it way more in Europe. Most guys here who pull that look wear only ankle or calf high boots. I have a pair of knee high boots and have gotten some positive comments when I have worn them with a nice tweed sport coat and some jeans. I also like men who wear Hunter boots when it rains or if it snows. Mine came in quite handy this past winter. Again though, a look most often only seen in NY and LA but very popular with men in Europe.
That 24 Media has me hard…
Where's Daniel Radcliffe?
I love horses. I love men. I love men riding horses.
@Desert Boy:
I love men. I hate horses. I hate horses backing men.
Horses are ugly!
@dali: Horses are hung like a horse, and that makes them great. End of discussion.
Fun post. These guys are extra yummy!
What? I believe Putin rode his horse shirtless–I'm surprised no mention. lol
@barkomatic: Putin is completely clueless about and unaware of the fact that he acts like a butch gay man.
A feeble attempt at a catchy headline. However, horses don't bray; donkeys do. Look it up or spend some real time on a ranch or farm.
Lucky horses!
@Black Pegasus:
I agree… :-)

I've only really followed NBA basketball for a few years so don't know about the old rivalries in much depth so I'm going to go for the guys who always seem to lead their teams to wins over the Knicks by just being unstoppable offencively.
In no particular order:
Paul Pierce - No matter how well we play against Boston, he always seems to pull something out of the hat.
LeBron James - 50 point games at MSG, big shots and general dominance over the Knicks.
Kobe Bryant - see above.
Ray Allen - multiple late daggers, never seem to defend him well down the stretch when he was a Celtic.
Anderson Varejo - always outrebounds our entire team it seems and is unstoppable in the paint.

Dordt College News
Olympic-size dream turns to real internship at London Olympics
April 10, 2012
Dordt College junior Vero Visser spent last semester looking for summer internship possibilities in the field of digital media production. Her search landed a gig of a lifetime with an organization heading to the London Olympics.
Not really a devoted Olympics fan, Visser was surprised to discover that the internship wasn't just the small-scale local Olympic-type event she had thought it was. "I didn't know that it was for the London Olympics. I knew that it was in London, but I thought that it was similar to something like the Sioux Center Olympics or something," said Visser.
Now that she's going, she promises to know everything about the world-wide competition by the time she arrives in London.
Visser will be joining the Christian ministry One Sheep, an organization that takes its name from the biblical parable of the lost sheep, in London in July and August. The international event will provide a wide audience for their outreach. "We are going to be conducting interviews with different people, producing video content, a daily blog, and collecting stories to share Christ with the world," said Visser.
The internship will allow her to explore the kind of work she hopes to pursue after college. "When I graduate I want to be able to use media to reach others for Christ, and to glorify him," said Visser. "I know that this is a Christian ministry, so I think it would be a really good experience to see how they work, and to see how they talk to people who do not believe in Christ."
Visser, a native of Paraguay, is grateful for the opportunity to participate in the internship. "God has shown me that he's so faithful. When he calls us he really opens all the doors that need to be opened."
Visser is especially interested in using media to build relationships and understanding between different cultures. "I want to be able to go to different places and countries and get to know people from different cultures. And I want to be able to use the camera to tell their stories in the best way that I can."
In addition to her classes at Dordt, Visser has been involved with Prairie Grass Productions, Dordt College's production company, and spent last Christmas break in Mexico filming and interviewing people for a film for Christian World-Wide Missions. She is a resident assistant at Dordt, teaches Sunday School at Amistad Christiana (the Spanish-speaking church in Sioux Center), and leads a Bible study for Hispanic women in Hull, Iowa.

Fished all three prongs of Little River Sunday
well, my buddy had something come up and had to cancel but I decided to go solo anyway. I stopped at LRO and saw Lefty Kreh for awhile and then decided to go to Millsaps Bottoms area. Two ladies came up on me as soon as I got out of the car. They had fished for a few hours in the morning. It was now noon so I decided to fish the stretch anyway. I fished until about 4 pm and caught 6 bow's one was 11" and 2 small browns. I decided to go to Tremont for the evening which was a mistake. I have never seen so many people I fished for 45 minutes and caught two small bows and missed several. I came up on a couple of fisherman and I stopped to talk to them. They weren't really interested in talking and I kind of got the cold shoulder. Oh well, some people are just like that. I guess they thought I was going to fish ahead of them. It wasn't my intention since I knew how many more people they would encounter upstream. I said my goodbyes and went to West Prong. Fished solo again for another hour and caught 4 more bow's. An okay day but the pressure on Tremont was downright ridiculous. I fille a plastic bag with garbage again. Anyone, please help. The trash situation in the park is getting out of hand.
Thanks to LRO for another great event.
Re: Fished all three prongs of Little River Sunday
Hey sweede,
Glad to hear ya got out this weekend. i was baby sitting and mowing the yard, fixing the water heater, etc. Where is Millsaps Bottom?
Re: Fished all three prongs of Little River Sunday
I am not completely out of touch with the geography Millsaps Bottoms is below the turn off to Elkmont. If I'm wrong someone enlighten me please?
Let me know your plans for the upcoming weekends? I have a few spots in mind where I would like some company.
Tight Lines
Re: Fished all three prongs of Little River Sunday
I don't think that i have to drive everyone around this weekend. It makes me so mad just thinking about having to do that. How's Saturday sound? I'll check into it and get back to ya.
Re: Fished all three prongs of Little River Sunday
First of all I need to edit my response. I meant to say If I am not completely out of touch with the geography. I made it sound like I know every spot in the park. I need to think before I type. As for your question. Saturday is my day to go fishing this weekend. Let me know how it's going later in the week. I have one spot on the other side of the hill in mind (NC).
Re: Fished all three prongs of Little River Sunday
Hello Hans,
What is geography, that's right I took one quarter of it one summer at Ohio State i talked with my boss today about taking a long weekend during the first week or to in October and he is on board. I have some extra hours from a Saturday that I worked in early August so I plan on leaving a little early on a Thursday and start making my way towards the Smokies. I will have to setup camp in the dark, but thats no big deal. I am leaning towards camping at Elkmont so I can fish the LIttle River and some of its headwaters, plus I will be close to the West Prong, etc. Plan on fishing Friday thru Sunday afternoon, then head back to western Tn. I will be watching the weather, as I don't wanna head that way if its a rainy weekend when I only have 3 days to fish. Hope to beat the leaflooker rush hour and still enjoy some good brookie and maybe some brown fishing. I'll let you know when I decide to head that way.
Have fun, and keep teasin them Smoky trout
Re: Fished all three prongs of Little River Sunday
Sounds good. I might be able to take a Friday off in early October if I get a few days "heads up".
Re: Fished all three prongs of Little River Sunday
Hey Swede,
I needed a break and the cool weather inspired me to be a little adventurous, so I decided I needed a roadtrip. Drove up Sunday after church and stopped in LRO just in time to hear Lefty give a few casting tips. Unfortunately I wasn't blonde and curvaceous so I didn't get any personal lessons. *
I just hope when I'm 80 I still have half the fire and form he does. *I had heard it was going to rain all day Monday so I rushed off to set up camp at Elkmont with that in mind Sunday night. I managed to get 3 rainbows and a brook, right in front of my site just before dark. I fished all day Monday waiting for the rain that never came and had a great day. I think the crowds were definitely gone. * I started above Metcalf bottoms and took two browns, one was about 12' and the other was a newborn. I moved down to below the Sinks and had a great time. I even caught several nice rainbows on a pink weenie, only because I lost all of my greenies on fish or rocks. I sighted a fish that had to go 20", but couldn't get him to take. After my afternoon coffee break, thanks to the greatest invention - the jetboil - I headed up to Tremont where dries were the ticket. Right before dark I heard on the radio a storm was coming, so I headed back to camp. It rained solid from 8:00 Monday night until 7:00 Tuesday morning. I was trying out a new camping set up, a Hennessy Hammock, and I must say, I slept both nights as soundly as I can remember, and woke up with no sore back pains. I did have to get used to the sound of my tarp relieving iteself next to my head every few minutes, but for the amount of rain we got, I stayed dry and cozy. I packed up Tuesday morning, and headed home, stopping at the two afore mentioned spots, and taking a few more fish on the pink weenie, before saying adios to the GSMNP. I was trying to convince myself and my son that you could get two good days fishing in and still be back home in time for work/school leaving on a Friday afternoon (early). Making the trip on a non-weekend probably spoiled me a little with regards to the crowds, but I think the realization that there are fish in so many places in the park, most of which I never thought, like in the middle of the Elkmont campground, we will be able to find some solitude. The 8 hour roundtrip was definitely worthwhile. Thanks to LRO for giving me an excuse. Next time I won't need one.

Centranthus are long blooming and easy to grow. Flowers are produced from June all through the summer until frost. Best planted in groups. Freely self-seeds where happy.
This self seeder makes a gorgeous mass of flowers. Spring cleanup is recommended. Cut back established plants to 4" or pinch to promote sturdier well-branched growth. Remove spent blossoms to promote rebloom. Can be divided every 1-3 years in spring. Thrives in poor soil. Flowers longer in cool conditions. Fertilize every other year in late fall or late winter.
Our plants are all grown in plantable fiber pots that grow incredibly vigorous plants, eliminate transplant shock, and are 100% biodegradable. They have tremendous advantages over plastic pots.

David Karp / AP, file
Although the official selection committee for a new chief rabbi remains mum, the Jewish press has put Rabbi Jonathan Rosenblatt, the leader of a thriving congregation in the Bronx on the most recent short list. Rosenblatt denies that he is a contender for the position.
LONDON — Time consuming, costly and agonizingly difficult: No matter what the scale — from the American presidency to a local youth organization — choosing a new leader is never easy. Throw in a dose of religion, and the process only gets more complicated.
Britain's Jewish community is currently in the midst of a once-in-a-generation process to select a new chief rabbi. The candidates are numerous, the process secretive and the role wide-ranging.
Whoever follows has big shoes to fill. In a country that has become increasingly secular, the current chief rabbi, Lord Jonathan Sacks, is an internationally recognized spiritual figure. His influence reaches far beyond the boundaries of the rather small community of several hundred thousand Jews he represents. In his time as chief over the past 21 years, he has earned a reputation as a national treasure due in part to his frequent contributions to U.K. newspapers and radio programs.
Sacks, who announced he would be stepping down in September 2013, is a widely respected scholar, prolific author, and sought-after speaker. Like his predecessor, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, and appointed to the House of Lords, a post that he will hold long after he steps down as chief rabbi.
Full international coverage from NBC News
Toby Melville / Reuters, file
Britain's Jewish community is currently in the midst of a once-in-a-generation process to select a new chief rabbi to replace highly respected Jonathan Sacks.
When he was appointed, he was widely acknowledged to be the front-running candidate thanks in part to his rabbinic credentials and high-level secular university degrees from Cambridge, Oxford and King's College London.
This time around however, there are few obvious candidates and speculation in the U.K. Jewish press has been rife as to who will succeed the well-respected Sacks.
Will it be one of three London rabbis, each well respected as scholars and leaders of thriving congregations? Or will the powerful selection committee turn to a candidate from abroad — most likely the United States — and opt for a leader with little local experience, but with fresh ideas and little local baggage?
"We are only looking for the 11th chief rabbi since 1704," says Steve Pack, president of the United Synagogue, the organization spearheading the appointment process. "Out of the 10 who have served, a high proportion was born outside the U.K. While it's important that the future chief understand Anglo Jewry, being from here or born here isn't a requirement."
'No choice but to look abroad'
Jewish community insiders acknowledge that there is a very small pool of locally educated rabbis with respected religious and secular degrees.
"Britain has failed to educate a new generation of younger, well qualified rabbis," said Geoffrey Alderman, who writes a weekly column for the U.K. Jewish newspaper, The Jewish Chronicle. "The country's main yeshivot [rabbinical seminaries] that are producing Orthodox rabbis are deemed to be too far to the right. Therefore to find someone who has impeccable Orthodox credentials, who can be relied upon to stand up to the extreme right and who also has a good secular education, you have no choice but to look abroad."
Although the official selection committee remains mum, the Jewish press has put Rabbi Jonathan Rosenblatt, the leader of a thriving congregation in the Bronx, on the most recent short list. Yet Rosenblatt, who reportedly visited London in August, denies that he is a contender for the position.
"I am not involved in the CR [chief rabbi] search," wrote Rosenblatt in an email to NBC News. "Like everyone else I will be waiting with interest to learn who will fill the gargantuan shoes of my mentor and friend, Lord Sacks. I hope the next CR will be blessed in his work."
Other Americans bandied about in the press over the last few months include Rabbi Michael Broyde, a law professor at Atlanta's Emory University and judge on the rabbinical court of America, as well as Manhattan-based Rabbi Meir Soloveichik, a 35-year-old scholar who has made his mark not only in the Jewish world, but also as a GOP supporter who gave the blessing at the opening of the Republican National Convention in August.
Secret selection
Officially, the chief rabbi is the religious head of the United Hebrew Congregations of the U.K. and Commonwealth, made up of about 140 synagogues, along with schools and other community organizations. He is also head of the beit din, the religious court whose responsibilities include granting divorces, issuing conversions and settling disputes. Perhaps most importantly, the chief is an ambassador, attending state functions and taking part in interfaith dialogue. Sacks even got a coveted invitation to the 2011 royal wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
A blindfolded child's weighty task: Pick a new pope
Despite the high-profile nature of the position, the selection process itself is shrouded with secrecy. The eight selection committee members and two rabbinical advisers were required to sign confidentiality agreements - to protect the identity of rabbis that may want to keep their candidacy under-wraps, according to Pack. The committee won't reveal how many applications it received, or how many candidates it is seriously considering, only saying that there are a "significant number" of applicants from the U.K. and overseas.
"The idea that through this secret process a leader will be chosen to whom the rest of British Jewry will defer is lunacy," said a skeptical Alderman. "This is a peculiar office that was fashioned in the Victorian era when the Jews were fighting for social and legal recognition and they wanted someone to front for them. Over the years, the office evolved and matured to fulfil a certain function, but we now need to move on. The thought of a chief rabbi in the U.S. is laughable."
The notion of having a single leader for all of Britain's Jews is increasingly questioned by a growing proportion of the community. However, the high profile nature of the position forces many to accept that the role does impact their lives, if in no other way than in how British Jews are perceived in the outside world.
"Although he isn't the chief rabbi of the whole community, he is perceived as having a central role — if not the central voice — and therefore it matters to have someone who is a good communicator, who relates to contemporary issues and who has a voice of wisdom, compassion and intelligence," said Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, a leader of the left-leaning Masorti Movement and the rabbi of the New North London Synagogue.
The selection committee hopes to have a candidate in place in the next few months. It is no question that Sacks' successor will face tough challenges in the coming years, from uniting the divided community to battling anti-Semitic currents in Europe, to name but a few.
"The main challenge of the incoming chief will be to keep up the high standards his predecessor has set," said Pack. "We have good candidates, and it will be up to the individual who takes on this role to command the space and speak on behalf of Anglo Jewry."

You and me both janetfan, i love her this year and want her to medal.
You and me both janetfan, i love her this year and want her to medal.
But she is my favorite - along with Mirai.
Last edited by janetfan; 02-10-2010 at 01:12 PM.
I read a quote from Rachael somewhere in which she says her dream is for everyone to skate well and for her to still be in the top. And she said she really wants everyone to skate clean and for the Olympics to be a great competition. That is exactly the right attitude, and coming from Rachael, I believe she is being truthful. It shows she is thinking about herself and not about what everyone else is doing. Of course, that kind of attitude is a lot easier to have when you don't have the pressure of being a favorite. But that's the way it is, and that is Rachael's advantage. Theoretically, Mirai has the same advantage. But she has the disadvantage of these Olympics being her first major international competition. I just really want Mirai to have an awesome skate and land wherever she lands in the standings.
Lastly, IF Carolina manages to stay upright, I think she's the one, not Rachael. There just so many IFs...
I watched a recent video clip in which mao was referring to the nationals, olympics, and worlds as the ones to fight this season.
Regarding akiko, she seems more interested in moving the audience rather than medaling. Easier said than done, but she might be the one who can do because she seems to feel strongly about performance.
I think it will all depend on the SP how the medals might be won.
Yu Na is the favourite and if she nails a good SP, the title will be hers I reckon she would probably score in the region of 74-76 points and could have a 8-10 point lead on the rest, a nice cushion for a sub par free.
Now there is pressure on Mao to do a good short to try and match Yu Na, is she does it, she wont be too far behind and pressure would be on both Yu Na and Mao on the free, and Mao will have a slight advantage on producing a solid free.
Pressure also on Joannie to do a good SP that has been lacking this year, if she lands a good SP she should score near to 70 and have a shout at a medal.
Miki needs to do a good short, but needs to be careful on full rotation and not get a downgrade if she goes for her loop in her combination that could hurt her.
Suzuki I think will do a good SP to keep her up there, and maybe Nagasu, Leonova, Flatt to join her.
Ps, If, I know its a big IF, but if Lepisto, Kostner are on they will be up there too in with a chance of a silver or bronze.
But Yu Na, Ando and Asada are the main contenders for gold.
Its an interesting sport and anything can happen!!
It all depends on the SP and the final flight of the finals!
Who is willing to rock it when it counts under the unbearable pressure to win gold
It's a mental battle, a battle of toughness and grace under pressure!
The pressure is a lot for Yu-Na
and so is for Mao, but Mao feels like an underdog and she feels Yu-Na will get the majority of the pressure which bodes well for her
Miki could also be the spoiler! I think she has improved immensely and is on her way if everything falls into place
The same goes for Joannie! It's now or never, If she's going to be pressured by the crowd then it's gone for her. But if she is buoyed by the incredible sense of love and inspiration from the people then she is another potential gold medalist
I wouldn't count out Carolina Kostner, she is slowly peaking! She has improved a lot so watch out , the same goes for Rachael! So it's anybody's game!
If Yu-Na skates amazingly, surely she would win!
Akiko is so under the radar, that could be a good thing or a bad thing. A good thing because the pressure is less and this girl has MAGIC!!!! Or a bad thing, since she has not been as established as the later stars in the skating community! As we all know this a political sport, a super star sport! So if you've made a huge impact on the judges then they would really give you high scores! But I'm rooting for her to medal or who knows even win this!West side story on Olympic ice plus Akiko and her charismatic skating = Magic
What are people thinking Mirai will probably place here? Top 5, Top 10, lower than that? I really have no idea, she always seems great to me, but internationally her scores are not particularly strong (mainly in the PCS part). I think she's better than Flatt, Leonova, Gedevanishvilli, Korpi, Meier, and Kostner and Lepisto if they pull their usuals, but idk if the judges will agree.
I'm cheering Joannie on. She's worked so hard over the years, redoing her jumps, getting her head on straight. I really am hoping it all comes together for her.....that she has two wonderful skates this time and does what we fans know she can do.................Go Joannie!!!!!
I believe that Yu-na will take the gold. Three reasons:
1. She breaks the curse of favourite not winning by showing the vulnerableness through the season, such as losing to Raechel Flat in the LP, and a close call in the GPF to Miki Ando.
2. TarA, SarAh, ShizukA, and YunA, see the beautiful alignment of A

5 CFR Part 720, Appendix to Part 720 - Guidelines for the Development of a Federal Recruitment Program To Implement 5 U.S.C. Section 7201, as Amended 1
prev | next
Appendix to Part 720—Guidelines for the Development of a Federal Recruitment Program To Implement 5 U.S.C. Section 7201, as Amended 1
1 This section originally was section 701(b) (2nd Proviso) of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Pub. L. 88-352, July 2, 1964), codified as 5 U.S.C. 7151. Section 7151 was further amended by section 310 of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. This Act also redesignated section 7151 as section 7201, effective January 11, 1979. (Sec. 703(a)(1) of the Act.)
I. Background Information. A. In 1964 the Congress adopted a basic anti-discrimination policy for Federal employment, stating:
It is the policy of the United States to insure equal employment opportunities for employees without discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. [5 U.S.C. 7151] 2
In 1978, Congress reaffirmed and amended this policy as part of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 [Sec. 310 ofPub. L. 95-454], requiring immediate development of a recruitment program designed to eliminate underrepresentation of minority groups in specific Federal job categories. Section 310 directs the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission:
1. To establish Guidelines proposed to be used for a program designed to eliminate such underrepresentation;
2. To make, in consultation with OPM, initial determinations of underrepresentation which are proposed to be used in this program; and
3. To transmit the determinations made under (2) above to the Executive Agencies, the Office of Personnel Management and the Congress, within 60 days of enactment.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 3 is directed by this amendment:
3 This Office was created by Reorganization Plan No. 2, issued pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 901et seq. It will assume personnel management functions of the present Office of Personnel Management on January 1, 1979.
1. To issue regulations to implement a program under EEOC Guidelines within 180 days after enactment, which shall provide that Executive agencies conduct continuing recruitment programs to carry out the anti-discrimination policy in a manner designed to eliminate underrepresentation in identified categories of civil service;
2. To provide continuing assistance to Federal agencies in carrying out such programs;
3. To conduct a continuing program of evaluation and oversight to determine the effectiveness of such programs;
4. To establish occupational, professional and other groupings within which appropriate recruitment will occur, based upon the determinations of underrepresentation pursuant to these Guidelines; and
5. To report annually to the Congress on this program, not later than January 31 of each year.
Congress further directed that the recruitment program must be administered consistent with provisions of Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978. 4
4Conference Report on Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, No. 95-1272, p. 145.
B. In framing these Guidelines and making its initial determinations of underrepresentation, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (Commission) is acting pursuant to its obligations and authority under 5 U.S.C. 7201, as amended; Section 717 of title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978 (issued pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 901et seq.) and Executive Order 12067, issued under this Plan (43 FR 28967, June 30, 1978). This Commission must develop and/or ensure the development of uniform, coherent and effective standards for administration and enforcement of all Federal anti-discrimination and equal employment opportunity laws, policies and programs, and to ensure the elimination of duplication and inconsistency in such programs.
C. A review of the legislative history of Federal equal employment opportunity policy provides further guidance on the scope and nature of determinations and guidelines to be issued for this program.
The basic policy statement on Federal equal employment policy enacted by the Congress in 1964 (5 U.S.C. 7151, redesignated as section 7201) gave the President authority for implementation. Executive Order 11246 (1966), expanded and superseded by Executive Order 11478 (1969) with respect to Federal employment, required Federal agencies to develop affirmative action programs designed to eliminate discrimination and assure equal employment opportunity.
In 1972, Congress found that serious discrimination persisted in Federal employment. It found that minorities and women were significantly absent at higher levels in Federal employment, and severely underrepresented in some Federal agencies and in some geographic areas where they constituted significant proportions of the population. After a detailed review of Federal employment practices and statistics, the Congress concluded that:
The disproportionate distribution of minorities and women throughout the Federal bureaucracy and their exclusion from higher level policy-making and supervisory positions indicates the government's failure to pursue its policy of equal employment opportunity. 5
5Legislative History of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, p. 83. See pp. 82-86 and 421-425 for Congressional Findings.
Congress found that this exclusion resulted from overt and "systemic" discriminatory practices.
These findings, among others, led Congress to extend title VII coverage to Federal employment in Section 717 of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972.
The Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 clearly states, for the first time, that "it is the policy of the United States * * * to provide * * * a Federal workforce reflective of the Nation's diversity * * *" 6 The Act establishes in law as the first merit principle that recruitment should be designed to achieve a Federal workforce from "all segments of society." Among the personnel practices prohibited by the Act is discrimination prohibited under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended. 7 Therefore, the Civil Service Reform Act and its directive for a special recruitment program clearly unite requirements for basic Federal personnel policy with requirements for Federal equal employment policy.
6 Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, Section 3.
7Section 101(a) of the Act, 5 U.S.C. 2301(b)(1) and 2302(b)(1)(A), as amended.
It is clear from the legislative history of Federal equal employment policy that the legal standards of title VII must be applied to Federal employment. Thus, guidelines for a recruitment program designed to eliminate underrepresentation in Federal agency employment must be developed consistent with the framework of affirmative action programs.
D. Guided by the review of the legislative history, and the responsibilities and authorities cited in I(B) of this appendix, the Commission is issuing these Guidelines to provide a framework for development of recruitment program regulations by OPM. The Commission may later provide more detailed guidance, through consultation with OPM, designed to achieve an overall Federal equal employment program which is consistent with, and which effectively implements title VII requirements.
II. Initial Determinations of Underrepresentation. A. Pursuant to Section 7201, underrepresentation exists when the percentages of minority and female Federal employees in specific grades are less than their percentages in the civilian labor force. "Minority" refers only to those groups classified as "minority" for the purpose of data collection by the Commission and OPM in furtherance of Federal equal employment opportunity policies. The civilian labor force includes all persons 16 years of age and over except the armed forces, who are employed or seeking employment. Such a determination of underrepresentation is designated in these Guidelines as "below the Section 7201 level".
B. The Commission has examined existing data on Federal employment and the civilian labor force and has made initial determinations of underrepresentation of groups by race, national origin and sex in specific grades of the major Federal pay systems, under the legal authorities cited in I(B), of this appendix.
C. The Table which follows shows the grades at which the percentage of each group in the Federal workforce falls below its percentage in the civilian labor force. The table covers four major Federal pay systems which account for more than 95 percent of Federal employees, excluding the Postal Service. 8
8 The initial determinations are based on data for only those agencies covered by the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. The Commission will make subsequent determinations on other agencies covered by title VII, e.g. the U.S. Postal Service, TVA, Central Intelligence Agency, Federal Reserve Board.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD – (Sept. 30, 2010) The University of Maryland Eastern Shore's Frederick Douglass Library has digitized a half-century of "The Hawk" yearbooks – from the first volume in 1959 through 2009.
The conversion was made possible through the LYRASIS Mass Digitization Collaborative – a project supported by a Sloan Foundation grant that makes digitization easy and affordable for the nation's libraries and cultural institutions.
Through the Collaborative's partnership with the Internet Archive, UMES yearbooks were scanned cover- to-cover and in full color. A variety of format options exist, which allow online visitors to page through a book, download a PDF version or search the full text version.
"We are truly excited to have this archive resource online and available to the world," Interim Library Dean Shelia Bailey said. "We would like to thank the FDL Special Collections/Outreach Department for its research to prepare the collection for digitization and FDL Archive Team for its support."
"This project was undertaken to allow complete access to the yearbook collection of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore," Bailey said.
The first yearbook appeared in 1959 – when the institution was known as Maryland State College. Altogether, 44 yearbooks – including some years that are combined – have been converted to a digital format. Bailey notes many yearbook images are the work of Thomas Wiles, the campus photographer from 1951 to 1989. Online viewers, she said, should also "remember … all of the yearbook committees (that) chronicled their time here for generations to enjoy."
To view the yearbooks, visit www.umes.edu//FDL and click on Special Collections and Archives. The university's Division of Institutional Advancement, Office of Alumni Affairs and Planned Giving underwrote the conversion project. Questions about this project should be directed to Jennifer Neumyer at 410-651-7696.

Was to be used as a corner unit for atmosphere, heat and TV.Better as a straight unit than a corner unit - basically a straight unit with an additional triangle board to be attached at backQuality not as high as another unit bought at the same time from this supplier
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Subject description: rum chum #num
@ sindi (previous page)
p41x to p431, the major change (offhand, I'd have to look up to be sure) was one of using an updated .sfs (squashfile) format. Naturally they are different (why there are conversion apps or other methods like dir2sfs for rebuilding) and basically make the pups on either side of the divide use one or the other (depends on the kernel, apis as I get the gist on the deep workings of how pup does what it does. 42 was the answer to the question in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy as well as a wonderful project to rework the Official pup release. Again by memory recall (but might help you search here in the plmf), Pebble
was a quick successful search!) is something to do with boot and Pizzasgood would be the goto there (dunno if it got beyond beta, though). Dig around in the hardware section for specifics on networking/ conn and bugfixes, drivers, whatever it takes.
Keybindings in /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal look like they follow a pretty simple syntax, so it should be quite doable. By the way, if you're 'into' using the kybd interface you might take a look at the pekwm window manager as it has an elegant system for key commands built in - I'm still a novice with most anything but the basic moves (icewm gave me a few surprises early on with its take on 'standards', but it's a fine wm with some really good stuff - if you're used to it why not put it in your own pulp? probably try a few different versions out before you settle - some may fit this pup better or be more suited to your style than others).
Barebones puplets often come along sometime after an official version is released and often are tweaked like this short series by Christian (zenfunk) to suit what he particularly wanted to do and achieve as a goal. Lucky us, eh?

Post subject: pulp 0.10
Subject description: framebuffer kernel
Pebble is something to do with a fancy boot screen that requires
framebuffer kernel (or fbcon module), and pizzasgood also compiled
a kernel that does not need the module (rather than modifying
initrd.gz to load fbcon) so I emailed asking for a copy.
I have little experience with window managers as I usually
do everything CLI in a console (in framebuffer mode) and only
run one program at a time in X (graphical browser). There
are ways to start the program and X at the same time from CLI.
(Xvesa -screen 800x600x16 &); DISPLAY=:0 mplayer -ao oss -vo x11 -framedrop dvd://1-10
Typed in a console, it loads X and mplayer and no wm is needed. Saves a bit of RAM
but then you cannot tab between links in a browser, for instance.
mplayer fbdev sometimes works to play DVDs without X (using fb instead).
Depends on the video card. Or mplayer vesa (not on LCD screens).
I will experiment with jwm to bind keys so I can start programs
without a mouse, thanks.

Post subject: framebuffer console fbcon
Subject description: works in pulp
Pizzasgood made me a package of the modules and depmod and I stuck into rc.local 'modprobe fbcon', and added vga=791 to loadlin or lilo to get a situation where I boot to 30 sec of blank screen (because console mode does not display now until the console modules are loaded) then a very nice framebuffer console 1024x768 when I hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 or F2.
The same 18.104.22.168 kernel modules don't work in Pup 4.31 so I will simply
switch to pulp (and learn to make keyboard shortcuts to GUI programs to save time bothering with menus).
If I have not responded to people's helpful suggestions it is just that I don't yet understand them. I need to learn more before asking questions.
Should pulp be able to handle the same recent browsers as Puppy 431 and 5? I also give people free computers and they usually just want to use Firefox. Browserlinux works, but uses somewhat more memory. How would I get a Firefox 3 icon into the strip at the bottom instead of or in addition to Firefox 2?
Browserlinux automatically sets up networking - is there something I can do to Pulp to accomplish that? I don't want my computers thrown out because people can't remember (how) to run a Network Wizard. There is one network card per computer.
Can I add Flash 10 to pulp?

Post subject: petget and lynx pet
Subject description: did not work for me
I tried to install the lynx 2.8.7 pet (for puppy 4x) by typing (in an rxvt)
petget lynx*.pet and it looked like something was happening but lynx did
not install. It installs when I click on it in Puppy 4.31 in ROX-filer.
I then cd'ed to / and tried to unpack the package to / using
tar -zxvf /mnt/home/download/lynx*.pet
and again nothing seemed to have happened - files are not there.
I tried this on two computers. This is a frugal install of pulp.
So I did a tar -zxvf lynx*.pet (in a temporary location) and copied
/usr/local/bin/lynx and /usr/local/etc/lynx.??? over and it works, but
what am I doing wrong with petget?
The file in root is something about running lynx rxvt -e lynx and is
not needed.
On this Toshiba 3000-S353 laptop, framebuffer console appears to turn off sound
(as confirmed in Basiclinux, where the sound module won't load if I have
vga=791), but on other computers I am enjoying pulp with framebuffer console
and text browsers lynx and elinks. Much nicer text than with an rxvt.
And much more usable memory in case I do need to run Seamonkey 2 or Firefox 3.

Subject description: mplayer not set as default media player
How do I set mplayer to be the default media player for pulp, and/or
how do I set mplayer to play mp3 files downloaded with firefox
(which for some reason are going to /tmp instead of my choice /mnt/home/download)? I can download mp3 files and then, in a terminal
or console, mplayer filename.mp3.

Post subject: default music player and flash for pulp
I chose 'other' instead of default music player ,and mp3blaster, and Opera (10.70 portable) plays mp3s, but how would I set a default music player for pulp?
Can pulp (seamonkey 2.0.7 portable) work with Flash 10?
I replaced libflashplayer.so with the much larger (linux tar.gz) latest version and it still tells me at youtube that I need to update flash player.
Is there a portable Firefox 3.6 for puppy? I like the portables because I can share
them between various puppies.

Subject description: needs many more libraries
cd /usr/lib/Fire*/plugins/

The one that comes with pulp (from 2009, Flash 9?) has 14 dependencies.
The latest Flash has close to 50 dependencies, and pulp lacks:
ssl3 mime3 nss3 plds4 and nspr4
Can I use the ones from puppy 4.31, or do I need something older?

ssl3 mime3 nss3 plds4 and nspr4 should be in /usr/lib/Fire*/
you can make symlinks in /usr/lib or better yet add /usr/lib/Fire* (whatever it is) to your library paths
the only reason you shouldn't have those libs is if you are running a non-mozilla browser (opera or midori and other webkit based browsers -- the others don't support flash anyhow)
I will say that although recent 10.x flash plugins are ~4Mb+ larger, they seem to use significantly less RAM/CPU
re: portability - you can use the directory (/usr/lib/{firefox-*,seamonkey-*}) from anywhere if you use the startup script in it
to find the location of any script use "which" ... for example
which defaultmediaplayer
which defaultaudioplayer
it will tell you the location of the script to edit
or to save a step (as long as you know it is a script and not just a symlink)
defaulttexteditor `which defaultmediaplayer`

Post subject: defaultmediaplayer, mplayer, Firefox libs, Firefox broken
Subject description: gxine not found, mplayer needs script, 'Firefox is already running'
default media player appears to be gxine, which in pulp was replaced with mplayer. This should be fixed in the next pulp..
mplayer plays DVDs for me but only if invoked CLI
In an rxvt: mplayer -vo x11 dvd://1.
I made a script 'playdvd' as above. (Which I have not yet managed
to get permanently into the jwm menu but someone gave instructions).
If I click on mplayer in the menu it cannot find any DVD
What file do I edit to add the libraries needed by Flash 10 to the library path rather than symlinking them to /usr/lib?
I put libflashplayer.so (Flash 10) into the plugins directories of portable Opera and Seamonkey (/mnt/home/opera....) and will try Youtube again after adding the libraries.
I am using Seamonkey and Opera (installed from pets) partly because Firefox 2 broke -
I get the error message 'Firefox is already running....' and the solution
is supposedly to delete /root/.mozilla/firefox/..... lock and .parentlock.
I deleted the latter but cannot find the former. Help?
I have been using pulp even on computers with lots of RAM because I like the uncluttered screen, the gtk1 programs, and the framebuffer console. (Could not find fbcon for puppy 4.31). But Firefox 2 won't work at a lot of sites. And Flash 9 won't work at Youtube.
I could use a standard Firefox 3 portably (unpackage it at /mnt/home, put firefox on the library path) and set it to use mp3blaster etc. But pets are nice because they already have useful plugins and preference settings. Is there some central list of browser pets?
I may be putting pulp on someone's '15 year old' (unlikely) laptop for accessing hotmail - anyone know which browsers work with hotmail?
This instant help is amazing! Many thanks.

Subject description: Won't work despite having the libraries
ldd libflashplayer.so
The latest Flash has close to 50 dependencies, and pulp lacks:
ssl3 mime3 nss3 plds4 and nspr4
ssl3 mime3 nss3 plds4 and nspr4 should be in /usr/lib/Fire*/

the only reason you shouldn't have those libs is if you are running a non-mozilla browser (opera or midori and other webkit based browsers -- the others don't support flash anyhow)
I am running Seamonkey 2.0.7 (from /mnt/home) and even after I
copy the latest libflashplayer.so to the seamonkey plugins directory Youtube tells me to upgrade my Flash player to Flash 10.
Seamonkey does have all these libraries (in /program).
What else might I be missing? Have you used Flash 10 and Seamonkey 2 or Opera with pulp? Is there some reason for using 9 instead of 10 in pulp other than size and the fact that it existed already when pulp was first put together? My only use for Flash is Youtube.
re: portability - you can use the directory (/usr/lib/{firefox-*,seamonkey-*}) from anywhere if you use the startup script in it
I prefer to install to /mnt/home, so I can use the browsers from any puppy (and only add plugins once). I can also run programs from other linuxes in other partitions after mounting them (I copy over any needed libraries and config files). lynx for instance needs /usr/local/etc/lynx.cfg and lynx.lss - but for some reason it won't do certificates even with cert.pem added though that works in the original linux.
which defaultmediaplayer
which defaultaudioplayer
There is no defaultaudioplayer in pulp.
The default media player is gxineshell - can I simply replace it with mplayer or do I need a shell version of mplayer or a plugin?

those libs are in your SeaMonkey directory
the dirty way is to run
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/your/seamonkey-dir
but really it should be added in /etc/profile
or symlink them to /usr/lib as previously stated
to change mime type handling it depends if a. you are using rox or b. you mean opening it from SeaMonkey (it does its own handling)
BTW I made a script that will make flash9 work with YouTube and most other sites if you'd rather.

Please do provide the script for Flash 9 and Youtube.
I have no particular reason to use Flash 10.
But why does Flash 10 not work with pulp if Seamonkey has all the dependencies?

Post subject: Flash 10 in pulp
Subject description: now works with Opera 11 and Seamonkey 2
I edited /etc/profile and discovered (as you implied) that libflashplayer.so
goes not into wherever I had put it but into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins,
so I copied it there, and also to the plugins directory of opera 11.01
(which I installed by unpacking the .bz2 with tar -yxvf in /mnt/home/).
In profile I added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (at the end) /mnt/home/seamonkey/program
because that is where the latest libraries for mozilla currently are
(they came with the Seamonkey 2.07 pet package). Now Flash can find
its formerly missing libraries.
Flash 10 now works in Opera 11.01 and Seamonkey 2.07. Next I need
to install flash blocking....
I don't understand your script but it appears to be trying to fool
the browsers into thinking whatever version you have is actually 10.2.
strings /usr/lib/Firepup*/plugins/libflashplayer.so | grep - Shockwave
informs me that I have not Flash 9 but Flash 7 r68
One of the early postings for pulp listed Flash 9. ???
The latest version (now in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins - where there was not
originally a libflashplayer.so but where the mozilla browsers appear
to look first) is 10.2 r152.
I can't imagine Shockwave Flash 7 working very well at any site
even if you fooled the site into thinking it was version 10.2.
Flash 10 is over 12MB, Flash 7 only 2MB, so I understand why 10 is not
included with pulp. Perhaps someone could make a pet that installs
Flash 10 to pulp (edits /etc/profile to point to the libraries and copies
the 12MB library to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins) so it would work with
mozilla-based browsers on computers with enough memory and speed.
I prefer pulp even on my 'newer' (8-10 year old) computers.
How large is Flash 9?
Would it work with Youtube without faking the version number?

actually flash7 works fine for most of the games that my kids like to play, and it worked on most of YouTube till November (it would still work if they had not changed the interface)
flash9 is only 8mb vs 12mb+ for v10.x... but the latter is much more resource efficient... the only good reason to use v9 is if you use opera, midori, or other non-mozilla browser

Company Phone Number: (800) 988-3956
May 22, 1998
Release # 98-116
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Conros Corp., of Toronto, Canada, is voluntarily recalling about 30,000 "Summer Lights" brand fuel canisters for outdoor bamboo torches. The fuel canister assembly can cause the bamboo pole to ignite. Conros is aware of three incidents in Ontario, Canada, in which the bamboo pole caught on fire. No injuries or property damage was reported.The recall involves only those "Summer Lights" torches equipped with a refillable plastic fuel canister with a metal flame guard attached by a spring. "Summer Lights Torch...Refillable Fuel Canister," is written on the front of the plastic fuel canister. Consumers fill the fuel canisters with citronella and place them into a bamboo pole.Mass merchandise stores nationwide sold the torches from April through May 1998 for about $5.Consumers should stop using these "Summer Lights" torches immediately, and call Conros toll-free at (800) 988-3956 anytime for refund or replacement information.
