=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Hello All,
We wanted to announce this offer to the Linux community before we announce
it to the press and other news outlets. We think we have put together the
world's best deal on sun Cobalt RaQ4 rental and sales. This is especially
true for those of you who live in the US or UK. If you want to expand
your hosting business, or acquire additional RaQ4 servers for custom use at
below RRP we have some eye popping offerings. Though you may have never
considered it, your
strong currency against our weak Australian Dollar makes this the bargain of
the year - we bill in Aussie dollars. Today US$1 = $0.49 Australian cents,
and 1UK pound = $0.32 Australian cents. I'm sure you can see what I mean
when we say this deal is great for you. You can now OWN OUTRIGHT a RaQ4
server for the equivalent to US$149 or 99 Pound per month over a year. You
can rent the same RaQ for only US$49/33 Pound per month too. Both of these
options include Bundled Software that NO ONE ELSE IN THE WORLD CAN OFFER at
these prices.
The RaQ 4 deal consists of a Sun Cobalt RaQ, running RedHat Linux, 64Mb RAM
and 10.2Gb HD + StoreSense + Co-location for 1 year.
We've been running Sun Cobalt RaQ's here in Australia for the past four
years and it's because of our experience we decided to expand the dedicated
hosting business on this side of the world. Our weak dollar, combined with
the presence of US and UK based telcos here in Australia, all with direct
high bandwith links into the US, Japan, Singapore, China and the UK means we
have been able to put together a world class offering which is ideal for
Australians and the US and UK markets alike. You will experience no loss of
service quality by hosting in Australia - we guarantee it!
We've also partnered with Kurant [ http://www.kurant.com ] to provide
factory direct StoreSense enabled RaQ's at NO ADDITIONAL COST. These are SUN
Cobalt RaQ's, factory certified StoreSense enabled! This means you can be
up and running selling storefronts as well as shared hosting from day one.
Plus we've done a deal to supply ENTRUST 128Bit SSL certificates for US$150
(au $300)
We have also teamed with RED HAT [ http://www.redhat.com ] to provide
technical support both here in Australia and around the globe, and Urchin
software [ http://www.urchin.com/ ] who include a full working 30 day demo
of their fantastic site Web Traffic Reporting Software, with a discount to
upgrade to the full edition.
If you are interested in our offers please visit our site
http://www.dedicatedservers.com.au. If you have any questions please ask
away, our technical support is available 24.7.365 so we are here to answer
your questions. I'd like to personally extend a warm welcome to you and if
you have any questions my team, or I, would be happy to answer these
immediately.
Thank you for your time and interest. We are here to serve!

Subject: Guarded Installation Tool 2.13
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2001 18:18:30 CST
I am glad to be able to announce version 2.13 of "Guarded Installation
Tool", which can be freely downloaded from
http://home.wtal.de/ib/freisoft
It is a bash script which allows monitoring the installation of new
software by watching the directory tree, reporting any changes and
creating de-installation scripts. Some useful functions for handling
these scripts are included.
"Guarded Installation Tool" is particularly dedicated for people who
prefer translating and installing sources by themselves instead of using
prefabricated distributions or packet managers.
It is primarily meant for use on individual computers or on servers
running in single user mode.

Subject: Network library lcrzo 3.13
Date: Wed, 13 Jun 2001 18:20:30 CST
Hello,
Version 3.13 of lcrzo is now available.
Lcrzo is a network library, for network administrators and network
hackers.
Its objective is to easily create network programs.
This library provides network functionnalities for Ethernet, IP, UDP,
TCP, ICMP, ARP and RARP protocols. It supports spoofing, sniffing,
client and server creation. Furthermore, lcrzo contains
high level functions dealing with data storage and handling.
Using all these functions, you can quickly create a network test
program. Lcrzo, which means "Laurent Constantin RéZO" (RéZO=network in
French), and can be pronounced " 'el' 'sea' 'reso'lv ", is available
under the GNU LGPL license. This library was successfully installed under
Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.
The library lcrzo provides :
- network functionnalities :
+ address conversion
+ packet encoding/decoding/printing
+ spoofing
+ real/virtual UDP/TCP clients/servers
+ sniffing
+ device(network board) dealing
+ etc.
- and general functionnalities :
+ data conversion
+ chained list
+ IPC
+ etc.
Over 200 examples of lcrzo are included in lcrzoex.

** changes **
Lcrzoex/lcrzo 3.13 includes the following changes :
Version 3.13 - 13-june-2001
++ bugs ++
- In functions lcrzo_packet_decodem_xxx, negative sizes weren't
forbidden : they were converted to big positive numbers. So, a
segmentation fault appeared when a negative parameter was used.
++ major evolutions of liblcrzo ++
- Creation of lcrzo_icmp module. This module can create and
decode various kinds of ICMP packets (rfc 792).
- When converting ip addresses to Ethernet addresses, default
spoofed addresses are the addresses of the local computer
(a new type is created : LCRZO_INTSPOOF_TYPE_CONF).
This can be reverted to old behaviour using :
lcrzo_global_set_intspoof_ip_type(LCRZO_INTSPOOF_TYPE_COMP);
With the old behaviour, problems appeared because some systems
keep in mind the false adresses used in ARP requests ; then
communicating with these systems were temporarily not possible
for other computers (the spoofed one).
++ minor evolutions of liblcrzo ++
- Type of ICMP packets is displayed by lcrzo_hdrlicmp_fprint.
- The libpcap package modified by RedHat is detected by
genemake, and the variable LCRZODEF_LIBPCAPFROMREDHAT is
defined. In the module lcrzo_sniff, this special package
is now treated separately.
- The special device "any" is supported in lcrzo_mtu_init_device
and lcrzo_ipl_init_device. It allows to sniff on all
devices of the computer.
- Update of sniff functions to sniff on all devices with "any".
- Installation on RedHat is easier because pcap.h is searched
in /usr/include/pcap/.
- Creation of lcrzo-config which permits to compile easily :
gcc -o fich fich.c `lcrzo-config -cl`
- The function pcap_freecode is now called (this function wasn't
available in versions of libpcap previous to 0.6).
++ major evolutions of lcrzoex ++
- Rewrite of tools 138 and 172 : tcp traceroute.
- Tools 244..247 : udp and icmp traceroute.
- Tools 248 and 249 : icmp ping.
- Tools 250 and 251 : tcp ping.
- Tools 252 and 253 : tcp port scanner.
- Tools 254 and 255 : udp port scanner.
- Tools 256 and 257 : icmp scanner.
++ minor evolutions of lcrzoex ++
- Creation of lcrzoex__0000i.c to separate lcrzoex.c in smaller
and faster to compile files.
