Well of course you'd be absolutely insane to try to put sendmail and Apache in the same address space. In fact, sendmail forks (or at least used to fork when I last looked at it 10 years ago) to serve each incoming connection, so it's insane to try to restrict sendmail on its own to only one address space.

I thought my mention of kdaemonhostd (sendmail in the kernel, yay!) plus the fact that daemonhostd is derived from svchost(.exe) would be enough to show the post is not entirely serious.

I did do a quick scan of the web site to make sure the idea is not real. However, it's possible that I missed it.

Not sure about that, but they are inventing a new way to run services. They will have a new program called daemonhostd which can host multiple services. All you have to do is recompile sendmail and apache as shared object libraries and daemonhostd will dynamically load and run them in the same process to save resources.

As a further refinement, they are also writing kdaemonhostd which is exactly the same but it all runs in kernel space to improve performance.

But also,

A d too many.

Because systemd now has a replacement for ntpd.

The systemd people are (as far as I can tell) writing replacements for almost all the standard services that run on Linux because they want to take over the World bwahaha!

Why should short people subsidise tall people? That's an alternate way of looking at it. If you move all the seats further apart, prices go up and short people are effectively paying for leg room they don't need.

The answer to a security question is just another password that's easy to guess.

How do you propose getting an ssh connection to fix the issue with the CLI equivalent?

The X server runs on your client PC.

That's how X works.

No it doesn't. You need the X client libraries installed, but no X server needs to run on the server.

Heartbleed could expose server side private keys to the attacker. I seriously doubt that any IE bug could possibly be that bad.

That's pretty insulting.

Wrong on both counts.

I hear we've already tried nuking Manure's home ground but nobody could tell the difference.

It's a bit presumptuous of him to be setting out policy for the first government of independent Scotland. Is it not going to be a democracy?
