MS patches pushed down through Zen
I need a solution for pushing down the constant stream of Microsoft updates and critical patches. I am considering a SUS box but already have Zen 4 deployed and wondered if anybody is using it to push these updates down and if so how easy have you found it to manage? I am leaning towards the SUS box because it will automatically locate the updates while it seems to me I would have to be the one constantly monitoring and downloading them if I was using Zen, is that a correct assumption? Thanks in advance Hazel On Wed, 14 Apr 2004 15:24:29 GMT, rodriguezh@coastal.cc.nc.us w...

Ilfak vs MS patch
I'm a little confused. I installed the Ilfak patch on a Win2k system. I used the checker which said I was protected. The message came out that the MS patch was available, so I used the Win2k update feature to get all the updates for my system. I then used the Control Panel to remove the Ilfak patch. I used the checker again which said my system was still protected. BUT Steve said the Ilfak patch was the same as the MS patch. So... a. Wouldn't using the update feature potentially cause a problem with the Ilfak patch? b. Wouldn't using the Control Panel to remo...

Patchlink vs Zenworks Patch Management
Like most you I quickly found out that ZPM was just a lite version of Patchlink. I then contacted them and after some review I can assure you all that Patchlink is better: -better support -more up to date product and definately CHEAPER (not going to go in details on that, ask your Patchlink rep) I really dont see any valide point at going with ZPM over Patchlink Interesting.. How did you come to the conclusion that ZPM is a lite version? Pricing: If you are an existing Novell customer then the price is usually less expensive from Novell. MLA, CLA, VLA, ALA discounts ...

5.8.8 vs. 5.10: encoding.pm vs utf8.pm
I'm wondering if anyone on this list can help with answering the question(s) raised in the following thread at perlmonks: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=752220 The basic issue is the difference between 5.8 and 5.10 with regard to this one-liner: perl -Mencoding=utf8 -le 'printf "%x\n", ord(chr(193))' On 5.8.8 (encoding.pm v2.02, utf8.pm v1.06), that produces "c1" (hex for 193.) On 5.10.0 (encoding.pm v2.06, utf8.pm v1.07), it produces "fffd" (unicode replacement character.) I'm assuming it has to do with how utf8::up...

perlio.pm vs PerlIO.pm in the perl@9359.pm
Hello. perl@9359.pm distribution have following files in "lib" subdir: perlio.pm and PerlIO.pm. They have different content, and their filenames differs only in case, which is not acceptable for OSes that do not aware for filename case. Is this naming is intentional?

ZEN Patch Management vs. SMS Server
Hi, do anybody know if there is somewhere a test report between SMS Server and the ZEN Works Patch Management Server. We are using ZEN Works and I have licenses but the M$ guys still going on my nerves to use the SMS server and NOT ZenWorks for deploying patches. For them it seems to be a question of honor, for me it is only interesting what makes more sense and what will be the best solution the SMS or the ZEN Patch Management server. Because I have to administrate the box. We only need this at first for the MS security patches. If you have any information about a compare ...

Patches, patches, patches...
To forestall potential incidents of Warnock's Dillemma... I'm about to apply a whole heap 'o patches to Parrot. (With appropriate [APPLIED] responses, I hope) If, at the end of the day, I have *not* applied or commented on a patch you've sent, it means I've Officially Missed It, so give another try. Sorry 'bout this. Too much mail in the mailbox, and going back in time is tricky, as it can miss subsequent discussions on patches 'n stuff. -- Dan --------------------------------------"it's like th...

[PATCH] require Carp; vs. use Carp; in warnings.pm
--Boundary-00=_T0GVBkfpkYsNHn6 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Moin, (the attached patch triggers an error I do not yet understand, please don't apply yet!) today I patched a lightweight module (Linux::Cpuinfo) to require Carp instead of using it to save a bit of memory for the common case. However, I was quite surprised to see that this didn't make any dent in the top stats. Hm. Linux::Cpuinfo only uses strict and vars (after removing Carp). Aha! Turns out that vars.pm avoids...

Zen partition and Kernel not getting updated after ir5 patch to Zenworks 4
Hey, We just updated our Zenworks 4 from ir4 to ir5. When we updated to ir4 in the past the zen partition and the kernel got updated as well. When we updated from Zenworks ir4 to ir5, the zen partition and the kernel did not get updated. The kernel should be updated from 2.4.18 to 2.4.22 but it's staying at 2.4.18. I verified the kernel by typing in uname -r at the zen partition bash #. Also at the No Work To Do list it should say 4.01.05 for the interm release 5 update but it's saying 4.01.01 which indicates the zen partition is not being updated as well. ...

Free DOS vs MS DOS vs DR DOS vs etc... confusino
Steve, I have trying to follow the SR6 development from day one and knew you had issues some issues with FreeDOS, but it seemed like half the time you just needed to have them use Himem.sys from MS DOS and things were done. Is there not much hope for just getting FreeDOS and if Himem.sys and/or emm386 working for SR6? From what I have seen Himemsys is fairly good with memory. ftp://ftp.devoresoftware.com/downloads/ just currious......... ...
