Free streaming radio stations, tailored made to your exact musical taste
If you have never heard of the music genome project, or have never been to Pandora.com, you HAVE to go right now!!!

This site will help you find music that you will like. Tell pandora what artist, or what song you like, and it will create a streaming station for you that plays music that is like what you suggested. Do you like Coheed and Cambria? Create a Cohed and Cambria stattion, and you can hear music 24/7 that is simular to the music Coheed and Cambria plays. Try TMBG, or any artist, and song. Has to be experienced to be appreciated! Streams are further tailorable (is that a word?) by giving the current song being played a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Do yourself a big favor and go there now! Thank me later :-)

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-262-1 March 12, 2006

Ubuntu 5.10 installer vulnerability

https://launchpad.net/bugs/34606

===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

base-config

passwd

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 2.67ubuntu20 (base-config) and 1:4.0.3-37ubuntu8 (passwd). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Karl Øie discovered that the Ubuntu 5.10 installer failed to clean passwords in the installer log files. Since these files were world-readable, any local user could see the password of the first user account, which has full sudo privileges by default.

The updated packages remove the passwords and additionally make the log files readable only by root.

This does not affect the Ubuntu 4.10, 5.04, or the upcoming 6.04 installer. However, if you upgraded from Ubuntu 5.10 to the current development version of Ubuntu 6.04 ('Dapper Drake'), please ensure that you upgrade the passwd package to version 1:4.0.13-7ubuntu2 to fix the installer log files.

update your systems

Not good!
Administrator root password readable in cleartext on Ubuntu Breezy

Bug #34606 in Ubuntu: "Administrator root password readable in cleartext on Breezy"

The root password from the first user registred by Breezy can be found by any user by reading the file /var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat

a quick

grep -r rootpassword /var

shows that the rootpassword is recorded in cleartext by the installer

/var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:Value: mypasswd

/var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:Value: mypasswd

/var/log/debian-installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:Value: mypasswd /var/log/debian-installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:Value: mypasswd

let's hope this is fixed soon!
