 A vacation notice to a mailing list?
 I mean; really?

Something to consider is that lots of folks run statistical filters that do a
great job of noting and nuking these things. However, when you copy the
effective spam in its entirety in your top-posted reply, the question arises
as to whether the reply should also be considered spam or not. Either your
reply weakens the spamminess of the original message or it is itself tossed
into the spam classifier, thus making your own messages marginally more
likely to be considered to be spam, and neither of those are great results.

In order of relevance and importance as I see it:

 1. Please don't reply to things that should be treated as spam .

 2. Please don't quote spam or things that should be treated like spam back
to the list where you saw it, to avoid the classification tangle noted.

 3. Please don't top-post.

CVE-2011-1929 Dovecot DOS

2011-08-19 Thread Mason Loring Bliss
I was wondering if there's any activity regarding this?

http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-1929

I noted it from Red Hat notifications here:

dhclient remote exploit?

2011-04-06 Thread Mason Loring Bliss
I just ran into this:

http://xrl.us/bjmp2a (Link to www.h-online.com)

I was curious about it.

DSA 2184 seems to be a fix for a different issue:

http://www.debian.org/security/2011/dsa-2184

Are there plans in the works for addressing CVE-2011-0997, or are Squeeze and
Lenny not affected for some reason?

Thanks in advance for clues.

Hm. I like that better in general. Processing doesn't have to wait for the
entirety of the command's output to be generated.

Thanks.

 Has anyone else run across a program of this nature?

My favourite method:

for foo in `find . -name something`
do
ed $foo  END
,s/something/else/g

q
END
done

This is doubtless less efficient than having find(1) drive ed directly.
It has the advantage, however, of working everywhere consistently without
requiring some new sed(1) or Perl or the like.
