They are not actually. The SILC Client and SILC Server code is distributed in SILC Toolkit merely as example code for how to use the SILC Toolkit. The SILC Client and SILC Server distirbutions may include different code than what is found in the SILC Toolkit distribution. You should not use the client and server found in SILC Toolkit in production environment, but treat them merely as example applications.

SILC Toolkit is a package intended for software developers who would like to develope their own SILC based applications or help in the development of the SILC. The Toolkit includes SILC Protocol Core library, SILC Crypto library, SILC Key Exchange (SKE) library, SILC Math library, SILC Modules (SIM) library, SILC Utility library, SILC Client library and few other libraries.

Yes, the reference manual which provides full reference to the libraries and programming guide is available in the SILC Toolkit package as HTML package. The online version of the manual is also available on the silcnet.org website at the Software Manuals page.

Yes, of course. You however must be careful when you mix C and C++ code. The SILC Toolkit is pure ANSI C and there are some issues when calling C routines from C++ code. Remember to include only "silcincludes.h" and "silcclient.h" (and "silversion.h") header files from the Toolkit. Any other header file will not work with C++ application, and you will end up having problems at linking time. See also these outside links for more information C++ FAQ Lite and Tech Talk About C++.

The topology of the SILC network includes SILC routers and the SILC servers (and SILC clients of course). Normal SILC server does not have direct connections with other SILC servers. They connect directly to the SILC router. SILC Routers may have several server connections and they may connect to several SILC routers. The SILC routers are the servers in the network that know everything about everything.

Yes. If your network administrator can open the remote port 706 (TCP) you can use SILC without problems. You may also compile your SILC Client with SOCKS support which will proxy your SILC session through the firewall.

Yes of course. Download the SILC server package, compile and install it. Be sure to check out the installation instructions and the README file. You also should decide whether you want to run SILC server or SILC router.

This is of course hypothetical but let's assume the entire server would be in the hands of malicious attacker and he can control everything that happens in the server. This would of course mean that the attacker has compromised the entire machine, not just SILC server. He also would have replaced the original SILC server with tampered version which the attacker can control. It would not be nice situation.

The SILC was developed by Pekka Riikonen in Finland. He also started the SILC project that now coordinates the SILC development. He has worked for years in the field of security, for example several years at the SSH Communications Security Corporation as Chief Engineer with responsibilities in IPSEC core development. The SILC Project consists of several volunteers who maintain the SILC Network, its routers and servers. Volunteers who provide the silcnet.

SILC stands for Secure Internet Live Conferencing. SILC is very much the same as IRC with the major difference being that all conversations are encrypted and much more secure then IRC. Wikipedia on SILC

Control-click on the file GenePattern/Tomcat/StartGenePatternServer (server) or the GenePatterClient/GenePattern Client icon (client). Select 'Show Package Contents' from the pop-up menu. The Contents directory should open in the finder. In the Contents directory, double-click the Info.plist file. This should open the Property List Editor program. Add the child with Class 'String' with the value -Xmx512M.

A program might act as a server for interface A, and also as a client for interface B. This is easy. The program merely imports interface B like a normal client and exports interface A like a normal server. A program might want to provide a service, and also act as a client to other servers that provide the same service. In this case, the programmer must expend more effort. The problem is that the names of the server-side functions (manager routines) clash with the names of the client stubs.

The details vary, depending on exactly what you want to identify about the client, but it all comes down to handles. The server must receive a binding handle in order receive information about the client. If there is not a binding handle in the parameter list as defined in the IDL file, then use the [explicit_handle] attribute in the ACF file to add one when building the server.

Yes. The synergy network protocol is platform neutral so synergy doesn't care what operating systems are running on the server and clients.

Clients and Servers are separate logical entities that work together over a network to accomplish a task. Many systems with very different architectures that are connected together are also called Client/Server.

Generally the answer would be no for both. However, there exist already at least one IRC client that supports SILC, the Irssi client. The current SILC client is actually based on the user interface of the Irssi client. So, yes it is possible to use SILC with some IRC clients and vice versa. You can use SILC plug-in in Irssi and have support for both protocols in one client. But, this does not mean that you can talk from SILC network to IRC network, that is not possible.

They cannot get operator status, founder status, join invite only channels, escape active bans, escape user limits or anything alike, without explicitly being allowed. The only way to get channel operator status is that someone ops you. Server and SILC operators in the network are normal users with the extra privileges of being able to adminstrate their server. They cannot do anything more than a normal user.

Ports 706/tcp and 706/udp have been assigned for the SILC protocol by IANA. Server on the network listening above privileged ports (>1023) SHOULD NOT be trusted as it could have been set up by untrusted party. The server normally drops root privileges after startup and then run as user previously defined in silcd.conf.

Reading this FAQ is a good start, but the user's manual is really the place to begin learning in earnest. API documentation for all classes and methods in the toolkit is also available. Perhaps the most useful, however, is to investigate and interact with the various demonstration applications included with the toolkit. They are located in the "demos" folder of the toolkit distribution. Feel free to copy these demos and play with various modifications to get a feel of the space of possibilities.

SEER*Stat can operate in one of two modes, "local" and "client-server". In local mode, all processing and data are local to your PC environment; that is, your PC performs all calculations, and the program and data files are stored on the PC's hard drive, your local network, or a CD. In client-server mode, the SEER*Stat software installed on your PC is the client and contacts the SEER server via the Internet to access data and perform calculations. Internet Connection Not Required.

The context handle provides this ability. When a context handle is created and passed to the client, the DCE runtime library keeps track of the connection between client and server; this may be done in the network code as in the case of TCP, or by DCE-specific ping messages if a connectionless protocol is used. When the client dies, the server is notified and executes a "rundown" function to clean up its data structures.

AdventNet SNMP agent supports master-subagent architecture that provides distributed management capability. Here, AdventNet master agent can act a proxy to other agents. Any agent that understands pure SNMP can be made as a sub-agent to the AdventNet's master agent. You can go through the "Implementing SNMP Proxy" section in the product help documentation to know more about master-subagent concepts.

This toolkit is an easy-to-use resource for health care organizations to implement a systematic method of collecting race, ethnicity, and primary language data.

It is difficult to give a specific answer to exactly when distribution will take place since so many factors are out of the control of the Public Administrator. Generally, do no expect any distribution to be for fourteen (14) months from the appointment of the Administrator. For your own peace of mind, do not plan your financial affairs upon the expectation that you will be receiving a certain amount on a certain date.

People who have worked in LAN-type environments are easily confused by the X notions of client and server. In such a scenario, one might have dozens of "client" machines, each running an X server which uses the network to connect to X clients (application programs) running on the "server" in the machine room. However, X's client/server terminology makes perfect sense if one thinks about what resources are in demand, and what program's job it is to service requests.

Communications include username-password authentication, the server letting the desktop know what databases the specified user has access to, communications of analysis parameters to the server, and results (the calculated statistics) being returned from the server. In some situations, standard population or expected rate files that you created with SEER*Prep may be transferred to the SEER servers.

The client and server are designed to work as long as they aren't more than one major release version apart. For example, any 1.X client will work with a 1.Y server. However, if the client and server versions don't match, certain features may not be available. See the client/server interoperability policy is documented in the "Compatibility" section of the Hacker's Guide to Subversion.

Olivier Onimus (July, 1998) : This is done by sending client's credentials. The server can authenticate the client and get the session key with which the communication will be encrypted. Then the communication will be encrypted, using this context. The credentials are not sent anymore, only a reference on an existing context. Jonathan Biggar (July, 1998) : [in addition to the above] The encryption is optional, depending on the Quality of Protection (QoP) you have chosen.

Yes. In the simplest case, the user may be unaware of whether she is using a program running on a central computer or a set of programs running on various computers across a network. In fact, in the wonderful world of client/server, your application can abend (reach an abnormal end) because of a failure on a computer that you did not even know existed! This presents a strong argument that client-server systems can be counted just like any other ones.
