Sourceforge
AMaViS-ng 0.1.6 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256297

    AMaViS-ng is a modular rewrite of amavisd and amavis-perl. It scans
    email for malicious code inside attachments and archive files, stopping
    delivery if malicious code is found. It supports integration of several
    third-party virus scanners and integrates nicely into several MTA
    setups. Unlike amavis-perl and amavisd, there is no need for build-time
    configuration. Changes: Support for Courier-MTA, CLAM Antivirus daemon,
    F-Prot daemon ("enterprise") version, INOC, NOD32 daemon, RAV, Trophie
    daemon, and drWeb has been added. The main documentation is now
    provided in Texinfo format. 

Crystal Space 0.96r003 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256365

    Crystal Space 0.96r003 has been released. This release fixes a number
    of the problems and issues discovered in the 0.96r002 release. Crystal
    Space is an Open Source 3D SDK for Unix, Windows, MacOS/X. It renders
    with OpenGL or software and features curved surfaces, volumetric fog,
    dynamic colored lighting, terrain engine, LOD, procedural textures,
    portals, etc. Here is a brief overview of some of the problems
    addressed by this release: * On some drivers OpenGL incorrectly reports
    the maximum texture size. CS now detects this case and uses a
    reasonable default. * Several bugs were fixed in the ensocket
    networking plugin. * PNG image loader now works on platforms with
    different structure sizes. * Map2CS outputs directly usable XML now.
    levtool is still needed to improve performance. * Bug fixed in OpenGL
    which could causes objects to disappear. * Fullscreen in Windows/OpenGL
    works better now. * Fixed memory leak in OpenGL. * Fixed memory
    overwrite bug in Dynavis. This could cause crashes at exit. * Fixed
    several culling errors in Dynavis. * Fixed dynamic ambient for objects
    using DrawPolygonMesh. * Fixed ref counting problems in the DirectSound
    renderer. * Fixed a bug in the AWS notebook. * Fixed bugs in the
    sequence manager to ensure that operations are fired in the right
    order. * Added new csArray class. * The localshadows flag for genmesh
    now works. * 'ball' mesh object now implements iPolygonMesh (can be
    used for collision detection). * Static and pseudo-dynamic lighting
    recalculation is now a LOT faster (several factors). * Updating the
    color of a pseudo-dynamic light is also faster. * Fixed several bugs in
    the console. * Several smaller performance improvements. * Several
    smaller bug fixes. * Several configure/autoconf changes. Check out
    http://crystal.sf.net for more information. 

tcpdump 3.7.2 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256312

    tcpdump 3.7.2 has been released. As described in the ChangeLog, a
    handful of security problems have been addressed. In particular,
    iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.27.03 (a vulnerability in the isakmp
    parser) has been addressed, and we recommend upgrading to this release.
    The MD5 of this release is: MD5 (tcpdump-3.7.2.tar.gz) =
    1e44b59abba39a48e3680bc2cffb8a6a In addition, a PGP signature is
    available for download. 

POPFile v0.18.1 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256338

    POPFile is an email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier,
    a POP3 proxy and a web interface. It runs on most platforms and with
    most email clients. Release 0.18.1 fixes bugs found in the major 0.18
    major release and has significant accessibility enhancements (Bobby AA
    rating). INTRODUCTION v0.18.0 was a major update and inevitably some
    bugs crept in that we didn't detect prior to shipping. Happily they
    have been fixed, and even more happily the regression test suite now
    has tests for many of them so that they will never reoccur. v0.18.1
    fixes these bugs (see THE GORY DETAILS below for the gory details) and
    also has two significant changes: the caching code associated with the
    History page has been totally rewritten by me so that the History
    barely slows down as the number of messages in the History increases;
    the Windows installer can now configure Outlook and Outlook Express
    Internet email accounts for you (and undo the changes if you uninstall
    POPFile). POPFile v0.18.1 is also the first version where the UI meets
    the Bobby AA rating for accessibility. This means that not only does
    POPFile not discriminate against particular operating system, or
    natural languages, or ways you want to sort your mail, but it is also
    accessible by everyone regardless of the specific challenges they face.
    (FOr more details on this drop by
    http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/about.jsp) Aside: If you are
    young, fit, and computer literate you might wonder why I bothered to
    make Bobby-level accessibility a requirement. Early on in POPFile's
    development a user told me that POPFile was a life changer. For him,
    sorting mail had been an arduous, frustrating task. ESSENTIAL READING
    IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM v0.17.x 1. BACK UP YOUR OLD INSTALLATION:
    POPFile makes this really easy, just copy the entire POPFile directory
    somewhere. You can then safely install POPFile v0.18.1 on top of your
    current installation; I just think a back up is a sensible precaution.
    2. YOUR HISTORY WILL CLEAR: I have changed the format of the History
    files used in this version which means that the old History files will
    not be read by POPFile and will in fact be deleted to save disk space.
    If you need to do any reclassifications prior to installing v0.18.1 do
    them! POPFile does NOT clear buckets, statistics or anything else on
    install of this version, just the History files. To refresh the History
    view click the History tab at any time; POPFile will check disk for new
    messages. 3. IF YOU HAD BROKEN MAGNETS: I have added automatic update
    of broken magnets. If you had a magnet like [foo] which POPFile
    mistakenly changed to \[foo\] it should get magically fixed and start
    working. 4. ACCURACY MIGHT DROP FOR A SHORT WHILE: because of some
    changes made in the mail parser it is possible that you might see
    accuracy drop initially and you may find yourself reclassifying a few
    messages that used to work. This is unfortunate but necessary to make
    POPFile even more accurate than before and v0.18.1 incorporates changes
    that make POPFile's classification accuracy better; however old
    corpuses might need a little retraining. DOWNLOADING You can obtain the
    latest release of POPFile by visiting
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63137 UPGRADING
    Just install POPFile on top of the currently installed version. But did
    you read the ESSENTIAL READING above first if you are upgrading from a
    pre v0.18.0 version? FAQ zonk3r has spent a great deal of time on a
    POPFile FAQ. Please check it out as it covers many questions that you
    might have:
    http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14421&group_id=6313
    7 THE GORY DETAILS 1. Fixed a serious bug that could cause POPFile to
    stop responding to POP3 and HTTP requests in the middle of downloading
    mail when the mail message containing a MIME encoding that used certain
    characters that were special in a Perl regular expression. (Reported by
    ecarlseen, gilesjuk, panther757, szkaroly and fixed by sschinke) 2. The
    skinning system continues to evole with kraelen, stanley_krute and
    kinematics working madly to make everything skinnable, make everything
    comply with HTML 4.01, CSS1 and Bobby AA guidelines. 3. The code that
    handled the History cache that was meant to speed the loading of the
    History pages and that I originally wrote was pretty lame and some
    people (including me!) were ending up with 1000 message in the history
    and the load time sucked. So I fixed it. The new cache will load ONCE
    and ONLY ONCE per file and caches everything in memory. When new
    messages are received they get loaded once per new message as well.
    When a History page needs to be generated everything can be loaded from
    the cache without doing any disk access which means that you should see
    little difference between 10 messages and 1000. 4. To magnets would not
    work correctly if the To line in the email header contained multiple
    lines. (Reported by drunin and fixed by kinematics) 5. There was a
    nasty problem where sometimes the statistics would not update correctly
    which typically happened when you downloaded a large number of emails
    in one batch. This was caused by the fact that we weren't flushing the
    pipe between the child POP3 process and the parent regularly, this has
    been modified so that this can never happen and statistics update in
    real time even as mail is downloading. (Reported by burale, ct85711) 6.
    The Windows installer has been much improved with the assistance of
    xuesheng to make it reconfigure Outlook and Outlook Express for you and
    include a number of new screens. 7. Quarantine had a couple of bugs
    where it would show the incorrect date (reported by thejcab) and the
    wrong to address (reported by dyoungmciwcom) under some circumtances.
    8. When the From or Subject was encoded using base64 or quoted
    printable weird things would show up in the History. (Reported by
    goulduck and fixed by williamxp) 9. spf and I went back and forth
    discussing line endings in the files saved to disk so that all the MSG
    and CLS files could be loaded into an editor on any platform without
    extraneous characters. 10. People who live on the Bleeding Edge were
    getting update warnings from POPFile even though they were on the
    latest version. This has been fixed on the update server. 11. Magnets
    containing the & character could not be deleted. (Reported by the
    infamous stanley_krute and fixed by helphand) 12. There was a bug
    associateds with invisible ink detection that could cause POPFile's
    HTML engine to think invisible ink was in use when a font tag spanned a
    table. (Reported by mfichtner) 13. If POPFile didn't exit gracefully
    then statistics were not being saved to disk and would not be up to
    date. (Reported by daemon72) 14. The Shutdown page had no CSS because
    POPFile was shutdown, we now have a simple SSI solution just for the
    shutdown page. (Fix and report by helphand) 15. There was a problem
    with Subject Line Modification where if it was turned off every subject
    line got an extra space in it. (Reported by and fixed by helphand) 16.
    There was a bug where you couldn't look up words that had # in them.
    (Reported by adammc and fixed by helphand) 17. Viewing base64 encoded
    messages in the History resulted in little useful output. (Reported by
    biljir and fixed by pkarlin) 18. sschinke whipped up a new -archive
    option that causes message removed from the History to get saved away
    on disk. 19. sschinke made POPFile behave better when a POP3 server
    suddenly stops responding in the middle of a conversation. DONATIONS
    Thank you to everyone who has clicked the Donate! button and donated
    their hard earned cash to me in support of POPFile. Thank you also to
    the people who have contributed patches, feature requests and bug
    reports and big thanks to the two POPFile team members Stan and Sam for
    their continued efforts. Keep the ideas and bug reports coming. John.

First release of FreeDOS 32
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256255

    The first release of FreeDOS 32 is finally available through the
    SourceForge.net download area. FreeDOS 32 is an operating system under
    development which aims to extend the DOS concepts to work in a 32 bit
    environment natively. The release is named 0.0.1 (unstable), and
    includes a floppy image for testing (with GNU GRUB, FD32 kernel and
    drivers, and a COMMAND.COM replacement) and a package for sources,
    based on the latest CVS. 

netrik release: 1.3.0 (alpha)
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=255645

    Netrik is a fairly complete text-based web browser; it is useful both
    for browsing local documentation and web sites. After another longer
    pause, a new version of netrik is now out. There is a fairly simple,
    but very convenient new feature: If you go back to a page from history
    (or reload the current one), the link which was active when leaving the
    page is not only reactivated when it's still in the same place, but
    also if the page is somewhat different than it was. This is especially
    useful when reading newstickers or other dynamic pages. But even
    changing ads can cause layout changes, so this can also help with
    otherwise static pages.

Where To Find Linux 802.11g Support Resources?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/02/0221230

    [0]Matey-O writes "I just purchased a Linksys firewall/switch router
    (WAP54g) and two of their 802.11g cards for home use. Like MANY things
    linux, I found out after the fact that Linksys' 54g products use a
    different chipset (broadcom) rather than the intersil Prism chipsets of
    their linux supported 11b products. So my _main_ question is: does
    anybody know if/when the broadcom chipset will be supported? Google
    wasn't very helpful, it came up with an online petition to another
    Broadcom product, but neither Broadcom, not Linksys plan support for
    linux soon. My secondary question is: Just where does one go to get
    info on 'cutting edge' linux development? I've used Linux off and on
    for years, but never needed to see what was going on this deep into the
    kernel, nor do I know where to look to see if any development is
    occurring for this chipset. (meanwhile, RH8 is dormant on the laptop as
    the XP support is adequate.)"

LCD Displays That Fit In A 5.25" Drive Bay?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/01/1953240

    An anonymous reader asks: "Several years ago, I saw several
    manufacturers that sold LCD displays that slid out of the 5-1/4" bay,
    flipped down, and allowed you to have a minimal monitor that stored in
    the case. Since it slid out and flipped down, that meant it easily fit
    into 1U and 2U rack mounted hardware. Now that I'm about to get charged
    beacoup bucks for having a monitor at the CoLo where I have my servers,
    I'm looking for something like this again. (SSH doesn't help with

Getting Hacked Through Your Terminal
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/01/2144223

    [0]hdm writes "My company recently published a paper on security issues
    with common terminal emulator applications. The interesting thing about
    these vulnerabiltiies is that many of them only require the victim to
    be running tail on their log files (apache, syslog, etc) for the attack
    to be successful. The [1]paper (TXT) can be found here."

    corresponding to the fieldnames designated in the HTML form; searches a
    database to determine the name of the script to be executed to process
    the form data; spawns the script, after appropriate headers are
    emitted; and prints out footers after the return of the script. The

Slashcode
Email Plugin not installed
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/28/1728229

    I'm a relative slash newbie. I've just installed 2.3.0. During the
    install, I chose "Email Plugin" (I think it was item #6 on the list),
    but when I click on the email icon for a story, I get a page that says:
      The plugin you have requested Slash::Email, was not
    properly installed. I tried restarting both slash and apache, and I
    tried using the install-plugin tool (again, I chose Email, and said yes
    to using symlinks), but the page continues to state that it's not
    installed properly. I do have an Email directory in the plugins
    directory, and everything there looks good (to my untrained eye). I
    also looked in the logs, but there was no mention of the Email plugin
    in the slashd.log file. I seem to have the perl module installed
    correctly. I find these three files:
      /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread
    -multi/auto/Slash/Email
      /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread
    -multi/auto/Slash/Email/.packlist
      /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Slash/Email. pm Any ideas
    what might not be installed properly or how it is determined that a
    plugin either is or is not installed?

    I know this has been asked before, but I've been doing some digging and
    I can't see any answers to the problems that quite a few people seem to
    have been hitting. The issue is that slashd stops working, and it
    appears to be when it calls prog2file(), and I'm assuming that the line
    in prog2file() is the backticked execution of the command passed. There
    are previous threads regarding this here and here, and I've seen other
    discussions away from SlashCode too. These threads all just seem to
    peter out without any resolution. Here's my question: I've removed the
    last two calls to prog2file from freshenup.pl, and slashd now keeps
    going fine, and my site still seems to be working... what have I broken
    by removing these calls? Is this wise (I suspect not) :) And has anyone
    resolved this issue??? 

Slash not emailing Daily Headlines / Stories
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/176227

    I have got a basic install up and running and so far everything is
    behaving as expected in terms of the web ui. My previous post regarding
    external authentication is being followed up with the developers of our
    current community software, I will post whatever developments come from
    that should others find it useful. One oddity I am noticing is that the
    website is not emailing me like it did the very first day. I received a
    report on the activity along with the news headlines. The next day and
    from then on in I have not received any mail. The system is mailing
    correctly. New registrations and password requests come through without
    any problems at all. It seems limited to the cronish sort of things. I
    can not find any errors in the logs to help guide me here, has anyone
    else experienced this? One thing I did do that may have broken
    something was change my slash install from on domain to another by
    going through the install process again. Any pointers would be most
    appreciated, Mitchell 

Installing Slash article on Linux Journal website
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/176200

    Linux Journal have just published on their website an article of mine
    called "Installing Slash for a Private Project". Rather than a
    definitive HOW-TO, it's more of a description of what I went through to
    get things working. --Paul Barry

Slash::Blob
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/21/2044216

    I've added Slash::Blob to the main dist in CVS. Its a module for
    storing binaries and serving them up on the web. It will be the
    foundation for most of the new features we are adding so that we can
    use images and pdf files with stories (and other subsystems). If you
    are writing modules you may find it useful for your own applications.
    Feedback is welcome. 

Link Tag to Enable Auto-Discovery of RSS Files
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/21/1652216

    Recently, I have been making small changes to my Slash sites to make
    them integrate better into the weblog communities dominated by Blogger,
    Radio from Userland, Movable Type, and similar tools. I found out that
    some of the weblog aggregation tools look for a specific link tag in
    the head portion of a site's home page in order to locate that site's
    RSS file. This is the kind of thing that can be added to a template
    without changing any code. Here's the code itself: <link
    rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"
    href="__YOUR_RSS_URL__"> For more information about the research I
    did to arrive at this conclusion, see the article How Weblog Monitors
    Automatically Discover RSS Feeds on CTDATA.com.

SuSE8.1 installation test failures for Mysql modul
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/2151208

    I have installed slash test sites on debian a few times before, but now
    I'm trying to install a permanent site on SuSE8.1 I'm having problems
    installing Bundle::Slash - MIME, Mysql modules & libapreq are all
    failing their tests. I'm installing Bundle::Slash within a perl shell.
    I'll concentrate on Mysql module here. I'm no perl expert (not even a
    perl beginner), but it seems to be a problem with lib.pl in testing the
    Mysql module. At line 253 & 254, my build complains about these 2
    lines with "Illegal character in prototype for main::ErrMsgF : @_ at
    t/lib.pl line 254" Here's the lines, what's wrong with them ? If
    they're wrong, how come they're in the bundle ? sub ErrMsg (@_) { print
    (@_); } sub ErrMsgF (@_) { printf (@_); } There's also a warning during
    the "perl Makefile.PL" phase about CAPI & PL_FILES which I don't
    understand either. " WARNING: CAPI is not a known parameter. WARNING:
    PL_FILES takes a hash reference not a array reference. Please inform
    the author. " Again, if the code is wrong, why is it bundled as a
    stable release ? I suspect that my problems are just a side effect of
    something else....can anyone out there point me in the right direction?
    I have a build log if anyone needs to see it. thanks!
