A long digression on packages
Hello again, First, thanks for the help that got the latest plotrix package finished. I had been planning to write something about packages since Scott Waichler offered the gantt.chart function. Then Ben Bolker (who helped me to write the axis.break function) asked if I would be willing to include some of his plotting functions and almost immediately after that Sander Oom kindly donated the

Possible Security Hole (Bug?)
...ill still be assigned an arbitrary UID from the 3000000-4000000 range via idmap.ldb, no? So either way it's going to have a UID assigned... But thru idmap.ldb this may not be consistent between samba DCs as per the Samba wiki... Which brings me back to why I assigned a UID via RFC2307 :) But I digress... I still don't see A. Why samba/winbind would see DOM\administrator and local "root" as the same account, and B. How DOM\administrator having a UID assigned via RFC2307 makes any difference, as it will have SOME UID assigned anyway (by idmap.ldb if not by me), and in either case it...

Can I kill... 'add user script' behaviour in adding users during logon?
...ell into the HEAD authenticiaon setup anyway. Could these be killed in the auth context? This would leave them as SAMR commands, for when users are really added to the system. If we still need the capability to add users to the system on a dynamic basis (this is really the job of winbind, but I digress) could we at least use a different option? Like 'dynamic login user add script'? Or keep these but rename the SAMR meanings? What do you think?

"Out the box" solutions?
...ux install. Not to start an OS war, here, but linux is ... difficult ... for an old unix hand to get his mind around. It's a completely different landscape! And why is it that /etc/modules.conf in one release is /etc/modprobe.conf in another? Is this beast not based on standards? But I digress. I chose FC3 (Fedora Core) for the install, and now I'm sorry that I did. At least with unix I was able to get a dial tone! Not so much with this flavor of linux. Each time I run "modprobe wcfxs" I get the following errors in /var/log/messages: Jan 5 17:57:59 asterisk wait_f...

Either it's a regression, or the behaviour of 208, although logical, is buggy. I'm not entirely certain, but "After=" is independent of "Requires=", as documented

k-means with euclidian distance but no coordinates
..., I'm trying to build a thesaurus that will sensible values for rare words. I suspect the best algorithm to use is k-means although I'm not sure about that -- I would have preferred a k dimensional space with a binary cluster in each dimension so a word can belong to 0..k clusters, but I digress... I can measure the strength of correlation between words fairly easily by counting cooccurance divided by frequency of each word, giving a euclidian distance, although this doesn't work especially well for rare words. However I don't have coordinates as such, and deriving them given di...

[patch 00/12] ipconfig and nfsmount compatibility with glibc
...t.txt kernel documentation, does a fallback from TCP to UDP to NFSv2 if needed, and handles only NFS: no mounting of /sys, no pivotroot, no searching for root file systems other than NFS. This should make it play nicer with the rest of the initrd; I can post it if anyone has a use for this. But I digress. The following patches need extra attention: ** avoid exit on valid usage in nfsmount This one makes it possible to do a retry with UDP in kinit if TCP is unsupported. It also makes sense in a pure klibc context. ** new include file net/route.h This one touches library code...

thunderbird and subscriptions with sieve
...ently testing spam, and if sieve created the folder with the first message, the thunderbird user does not see the new folder. Even more interesting, if the user then tries to create the Spam directory it thunderbird seems to quietly ignore the request and the user still cannot see the folder, but I digress... I can manually subscribe with thunderbird, but this won't scale for more complex sieve later by making the user responsible for finding everything. I can turn off subscription view in advanced settings on thunderbird, but we are trying to wean ourselves of of individual mail clients and I...

[RFC] One or many git repositories?
...n update libunwind and libc++ on a different schedule. We’ll probably want to keep roughly the same versions of these for an entire major release series (modulo bug fixes) for stability and we will want a new clang, lld, and lldb to work with the old ones. My problem, and I'll be quick not to digress too much, is that --rtlib=compiler-rt is slightly broken. I can't assume libunwind or libc++abi are there, so for rtlib=RT, I don't add -lunwind and -lc++abi "as needed" like we do for libgcc's counterparts. This breaks expectations more than implementations. To use compiler-...

[LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] costing optimisations

Flow Control and Port Mirroring Revisited
...of the last one. In my case the result was that eth1 "paces" the flow, and things work reasonably nicely. Well, sort of. Things work well for non-GSO skbs but extremely poorly for GSO skbs where only 3 (yes 3, not 3%) end up at the remote host running netserv. I'm unsure why, but I digress. It seems to me that my hack illustrates the point that the flow ends up being "paced" by one interface. However I think that what would be desirable is that the flow is "paced" by the slowest link. Unfortunately I'm unsure how to achieve that. One idea that I had was to s...

Testing Best Practices/Goals (in the context of compiler-rt)

Dovecot under daemontools
