Hello, I have more of a general privacy rather than a crypto question. I am trying to set up "tripwires" in the various computer accounts that i have so i will know if a superuser or sysadmin has accessed them. (it should be taken for granted at this point that all sensitive or personal data is encrypted and/or stored on floppies) i of course am only concerned with doing so for accounts that i don't already have su access with. i have accounts on various flavors of UNIX, but i am most interested in tripwires/scripts for Solaris 2.4-6. so far, the best i have been able to come up with is a couple of very ineffective tripwires. 1. a few lines in .Xlogout that write the host/date stamp to a file that is hidden a few directories deep. - this of course only works if someone logs in to my account using my own login/passwd, and it doesn't work over dialup at all. 2. i have a .environment file that will write all of the relevant user info to a file if that user adds my directory with the "add" command - this will catch all superuser accesses *if and only if* they add my directory. they could simply cd into my directory to bypass it. anyone have any ideas for tripwires or any other methods i can use, having only regular user access, to monitor ANY accesses made to my account, especially by superusers/sysadmins? thanks for your consideration of this question, ken

Feds bust Inet gambling

All parties were consenting but the Fed doesn't like it. First the virtual betting parlors. Then the virtual banks and cryptocash. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/technology/wired/story.html?s=n/reuters /980304/wired/stories/gambling_1.html Wednesday March 4 4:56 PM EST U.S. authorities launch Internet gambling crackdown NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. federal authorities charged 14 people on Wednesday with running gambling sites on the Internet in violation of federal laws. In complaints unsealed in Manhattan Federal Court, the U.S. Attorney's office charged the 14 with using Internet Web sites and telephone lines to bet on U.S. football, basketball, hockey and baseball games, charging a 10 percent commission per bet. At least some of the defendants were scheduled to appear before a U.S. magistrate judge later on Wednesday. The defendants were charged with using Internet sites to open bettor accounts, usually with a minimum deposit of $500, and then accepting bets on games and game score spreads and maintaining accounts for clients. Client funds were directed to banks or addresses in such offshore locations as Antigua, Curacao, Costa Rica and Panama, where betting is legal. But the complaints alleged that the six operations conducted much of their business within U.S. borders. One defendant, Steven Budin, 27, of SDB Global (www.sdbg.com) said his business used the Internet only for marketing, not to take bets. "We don't take wagers over the Internet," he said. ------------------------------------------------------------ David Honig Orbit Technology honig(a)otc.net Intaanetto Jigyoubu "But if we have to use force, it is because we are America; we are the indispensable nation." ---Secretary of State Madeleine K.

In doing a search on the "RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AMENDMENT", Lycos popped over 2000 hits. In checking out several sites, this one seemed the most rational in discussing the issue. http://www.religioustolerance.org/const_am.htm

y2k: 37% govt computers
by Vladimir Z. Nuri 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

------- Forwarded Message Date: Thu, 05 Mar 1998 07:04:43 -0600 To: believer(a)telepath.com From: believer(a)telepath.com Subject: IP: Y2K-37% of most critical gov't computers will not be updated in time Source: Los Angeles Times Thursday, March 5, 1998 House Panel Warns of Year 2000 Computer Crisis By RALPH VARTABEDIAN, Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON--In the most dramatic warning yet of an impending computer crisis in the government, a congressional panel said Wednesday that 37% of the most critical computers used by federal agencies will not be updated in time to handle dates in the year 2000 and will be subject to widespread failure. The estimate calls into sharp question past assurances by the Clinton administration that it is moving quickly enough to avert serious outages that could undermine military forces, benefit payments to the public and the nation's air transportation system, among much else. With just 666 days left until the year 2000, a slew of reports and investigations in recent weeks have raised serious concerns that the government is not acting fast enough to avoid serious problems. The executive branch has almost 8,000 computer systems that are considered critical to government operations, and nearly 3,000 of them will not be able to read dates in 2000, according to the report issued by the subcommittee on government management, information and technology of the House Government Operations and Oversight Committee. The computers will either shut down or spew out erroneous data. California Rep. Steve Horn (R-Long Beach), the subcommittee chairman who has taken the lead in Congress in solving the problem, issued a "report card" along with the new report that gave the federal government a D-minus in its efforts to avoid a crisis. "Failure is intolerable," Horn said. The year 2000 problem results from widespread use of two digits in software to designate years. Computers assume that every year starts with "19," so when 2000 arrives, they will interpret "00" as the year 1900. President Clinton created a White House panel on Feb. 4 to lead the government's efforts in solving the problem and appointed John A. Koskinen, former deputy director at the Office of Management and Budget, to lead the effort. But Koskinen has not yet started his work, and his panel has hardly gotten off the ground after 28 days, according to Horn's staff. White House press officials did not respond to queries about Horn's report. As the scope of the government's problems become clearer, the cost to avert a crisis is also growing. The Office of Management and Budget had long insisted that the problem would cost a little more than $2.3 billion to fix, but that figure has been growing over the last year. Its most recent estimate pegged the cost at $4 billion. Horn estimated that the government is facing a cost of $10 billion.
