To: Allen You may be great at using computers but with an attitude like yours I don't blame anyone for not hiring you. Romeo Theriault On Thu, Jan 13, 2005 at 10:48:48AM +0100, David De Maeyer wrote:

To be honest, I really dislike the way people used to communicate with Riaz. Don't call people idiot nor stupid because they do mistakes. Teach them what they should do OR like in this case not do. If you are toobusy to respond or just don't care, don't pollute the mailing-list with childish and arrogant posts. Give the man a chance instead.

I told him exactly how to fix his problem after I called him an Idiot. This isn't some run of the mill newbie who needed help, this person worked for HP, one fo the largest computer companies in the World.... I would understand if he was a newbie who was new to computing, but an HP employee? Hell no. I can't even get a job flippin' burgers but that guy can work at HP and be a threat to national security at the same time.... Wait, let me re-word that, WAS a threat to national security. Last I heard the Pentagon was notified of him and he was mud. I'm not saying you can't make mistakes, but DAMN, when the whole list is telling you telnet is crap, and that you should REALLY not use it, and everyone trying to help him, hello, he works at HP trying to get into a DoD computer and we should treat him nicer? Maybe if he would have asked how to EDIT the firewall config, then, maybe, even though he was still workign at HP and should already know this crap, but OK, but no, he asked how to shut it down completely.

All of us have been dummy newbies one day, never forget that. AndRiaz... don't worry too much, according to this mailing-list idioticscale, I am probably as "idiot" as you. You are not alone!

Yes, but most of us "dummies" weren't working at HP with an actual job being an idiot while people who are in need are sitting around waiting for a job because nothing is in need of employees. The IP should be down now.

You're posting from a @hp.com address, to a security list, you mention two highly frowned upon items; "completely disabling firewall" and "enabling telnet" in you post *AND* you even put in the IP number of the target host...?!?!

You are either too stupid to work there, or you have some other agenda.

No offense @HP, but I worked flipping burgers in fast food because I'm "underqualified" because I can't afford to take the test and get my stuff from it, but THIS dude can work for HP?? OK, I'm pissed. I wouldn't be so pissed if I wasn't in need of a job so bad, but when you see things

this you just cringe.

You idiot, make sure you have the Telent server installed, and then edit the firewall with YAST2 and tell it to allow telnet.... Telnet is clear text, but after seeing this crap, I don't think you'll be able to comprehend why SSH is better anyway.
