KInfoCenter Network Interfaces doesn't show all active interfaces
In kinfocenter, all three amd64 machines I have access to fail to
display network interface information about eth0 and eth1, while lo and
vmnet1 are shown. On i386, all interfaces are shown correctly. I
reported this bug upstream at
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125263. Strace shows eth0 is
detected, but the loop exits before the device is added to the list.
Helge Deller, the upstream maintainer, pinpoints the problem to
kdebase/kcontrol/nics/nic.cpp around line 169:
for (char* ptr = buf; ptr buf + ifc.ifc_len; )
{
struct ifreq *ifr =(struct ifreq *) ptr;
int len = sizeof(struct sockaddr);
#ifdef HAVE_STRUCT_SOCKADDR_SA_LEN
if (ifr-ifr_addr.sa_len len)
len = ifr-ifr_addr.sa_len;/* length 16 */
#endif
ptr += sizeof(ifr-ifr_name) + len; /* for next one in buffer */
However, he doesn't have amd64 hardware and I would rather not fly
blind. Can someone confirm amd64 will fail at this location and suggest
a fix?

ProFTP segfaults.
Hi. I've run into an issue of ProFTPd segfaulting whenever mod_delay kicks in, but as it was on a critical production server, I've had no chance of doing any serious debugging. We had to get it back up ASAP, and that meant reverting to 32 bit Sarge, on which proftpd doesn't segfault. I haven't got any AMD64 boxes to do more testing on, but if anyone feels like having a crack at finding the cause of the segfaults, here are the details of the system we used: AMD Opeteron 242 Tyan Thunder K8QS Pro (S4882) Debian 3.1/AMD64 (Sarge) Base install with apache and proftpd running. If I get access to another Debian/AMD64 box I'll have a look at the problem again, but unfortunately I've got no idea when that would be. -- Regards/Thomas A.
