full disk format in MR and it would take about as long to complete as a
   format as UDF.

   Users should also be aware that UDF file systems are much, much less safe
   than standard iso compilations. They are more effected by heat. Not all UDF
   file systems are equal -- especially now that various revision levels are
   out (UDF1.5 appears to be "standard recommended" while there were revisions
   up to 2.5 last time I looked). In practice I've found that using packet
   writting is tends to work only for the computer/drive you write it on and
   only for relatively short term storage.

   Note the fact that Windows XP's setup for CD writing uses a disk buffer and
   writes only a iso. It simulates a "drag and drop" random access file system
   by mapping the CDRW disk to the buffer (actually a system folder called "cd
   burning") and then just burns asks to burn a standard iso. For adding to a
   written disk it appear to load what is already on disk to the buffer adding
   to the new files then erase the CDRW disk and re-burn it. I suspect even
   good old Microsoft figured the odds of including UDF packed writing would be
   adding another can of worms to XP.

   PS: I have been testing Xandros OC 3.0.1 and I find I like it quite a bit. I
   didn't find 2/2.5 really ready for an average business user but Xandros 3
   looks to be a true MS desktop killer. A number of my clients are fed up with
   paying  through the nose for Windows "upgrades" -- some really feel MS
   tugging the chain -- so they are very interested. I even have one office
   where the practice management application will run under Crossover Office --
   and the developers have decided to commit to a Linux version for release
   next year.

Rob Tougher's article, issue 96

   Dear editor,

   Regarding:
          [39]http://linuxgazette.net/issue96/tougher.html

   This was pretty good article but it seems to leave out something. Because of
   that I've had hours of pain. Perhaps a note could be added.

   Here  is what seems to be missing: setting up AXIS_HOME, AXIS_LIB, and
   AXIS_CLASSPATH, as in

set AXIS_HOME=c:\axis
set AXIS_LIB=%AXIS_HOME%\lib
set AXISCLASSPATH=%AXIS_LIB%\axis.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\commons-discovery.jar;
%AXIS_LIB%\commons-logging.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\jaxrpc.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\saaj.jar;
%AXIS_LIB%\log4j-1.2.8.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\xml-apis.jar;%AXIS_LIB%\xercesImpl.jar
;%AXIS_LIB%\wsdl4j.jar

   I found this solution at:
          [40]http://paul.rutgers.edu/~weiz/cs541/axis.html

   Regards and keep on going,

   Bill Bruns

   Hello TLDP,

   URGENT NOTICE: Trojan LG TLDP archives alert!

   On March 25, 2005, I download some files from TLDP. My download script shows
   a time stamp of 9:10PM, which downloaded the entire ftpfiles directory at
   linuxgazette from my home LAN at 66.218.50.80.

   I have a WinXP notebook attached to a wireless access point. After
   downloading some Linux Gazette tarballs from
   [42]http://linuxgazette.net/ftpfiles, my security scanners show an active
   suspicious port open. I could telnet into port 5400 on WinXP from my
   [43]FreeBSD box over my LAN.

   Using NMAP security scan on FreeBSD `nmap -sS -P0 <wireless access point
   w/WEP encryption/router MN-700>` showed port 5400 open, which is described
