---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 05 Jun 1997 18:49:00 -0400 From: David Farber <farber(a)cis.upenn.edu> To: ip-sub-1(a)majordomo.pobox.com Subject: IP: Attack on California's electric power infrastructure from risks for those of you who drive south of San Jose on Route 1-1, note the very large interconnect power station a few 100 ft off of 101 and easily damaged with a rifle or a granade. Maybe that is why they increased security at the US Power Dams several months ago. Do you sleep better at night? Dave Date: Wed, 04 Jun 1997 17:35:47 -0400 From: "Betty G.O'Hearn" <betty(a)infowar.com> Subject: Attack on California's electric power infrastructure This morning's IWAR Situation Report contains information about an attack on the electric power infrastructure in California. Although the attack used conventional weapons, it is one of the first attacks on the power infrastructure possibly linked to a political situation.

Sone will argue the "proper" was of doing this is: "make config", and keep hitting enter and take all the defaults (actually the .config current entries) until you hit "Network device support". Carefully make your way to "Radio network interfaces (CONFIG_NET_RADIO) [N/y/?]" and of course hit "Y". Then 2 more questions to " WaveLAN support (CONFIG_WAVELAN) [N/y/m/?]" and hit "Y". Hit enter for all the rest of the questions until you hit "The linux kernel is now hopefully configured for your setup", and then follow the "make depend ; make clean ; make zImage" routine. rob.

RFC for well-known admin email addresses?
by Eric Kozowski 05 Jun '97

05 Jun '97

Can someone point me to the RFC (I think there was one) that outlined the "well-known" admin email addresses (i.e. noc@, abuse@, security@, etc.) I did an AltaVista search and a WAIS RFC search @ InterNIC, but couldn't find anything. I know something like this exists...... -- Eric Kozowski VP Internet Services eric(a)structured.net Structured Network Systems, Inc.
