Open-Systems

Here are some profiles (tcshrc/cshrc/bashrc) found on my systems. Source of some of these are comp.unix.solaris,dotfiles.com etc.

I have never really liked the syslogd shipped by Sun for Solaris. Syslog-ng offeres a lot more features and performs much better IMHO.. So I ended up replacing my syslogd to syslog-ng. Read on more on how to do so:

Every user on a UNIX® system has a password associated with their account. It seems obvious that these passwords need to be known only to the user and the actual operating system. In order to keep these passwords secret, they are encrypted with what is known as a “one-way hash”, that is, they can only be easily encrypted but not decrypted. In other words, the operating system itself does not really know the password. It only knows the encrypted form of the password. The only way to get the “plain-text” password is by a brute force search of the space of possible passwords.

Note: This requires you to flash your firmware to an unofficial firmware which voids your warranty. You’re on your own. But don’t worry, if you flash your router properly, everything should go ok.

What’s needed:

Firmware – You must have the sveasoft firmware installed on your router. I’m currently using WRT54G_Wolf_W42_Alchemy_6rc1 which can be found at
