Dear friends, I've published my 3rd book! "The Complete April Fools RFCs" by Thomas A. Limoncelli and Peter J. Salus http://www.rfc-humor.com This is a compilation of the best April Fools jokes created by the IETF, the group that creates the standards for how the Internet works. It's pretty technical but fun to read for anyone that is in software development...

If you do stray your users will encounter arbitrary/seemingly random failures that will waste everyones time to debug.

...A TOP USER UIDL RESP-CODES STLS SASL PLAIN DIGEST-MD5 . 062.107.004.050.49653-128.174.246.068.00110: auth plain AG1p2YtlQBebz12YmXQ 128.174.246.068.00110-062.107.004.050.49653: -ERR Unsupported authentication mechanism. It seems to me that sending 'auth plain <MD5>' is against the RFCs (1734, 2195, 1939). What can be done about this? I'm also curious why MD5 auth is not allowed for shadow passwords whenthat has been standard on Linux for a while now. Or am I missing something?

Guys and Silvia, do come please. If this meeting is a fiasco, there will be a lot of stuff to discuss on some other meeting in what...? November? Not good. If you cannot come in time (like Silvia and Sebastian) we will wait a bit, but do come. If you cannot come at all, state your opinions on the issues at hand through the mailing lists. Your opinion is important.

I am building a mail server on Centos 6.3 and working with OpenSSL to create a self-signed certificate for mail use. Along the line of learning the 'best' options to use for OpenSSL and dealing with the default SSL virtual host for Apache, I discovered that the localhost cert created (I believe) during firstboot has the X509v3 extensions set as a CA cert (eg basicConstraint CA:TRUE).

What's your specific question? I'm planning to essentially try to build a new pass management layer that doesn't suffer from the problems the existing one does. I could describe every interface I plan in prose and email it out, but I'm not sure that's really the most effect...

Probably it would be more informative to describe which features you need that are implemented "incorrectly". Reality check: RFCs are not government-enforced standards. There are many sensible RFCs that never got implemented widely, or nearly at all, are implemented partially, or there are widely deployed not-fully-compliant software systems. If your client software requires a feature that's not widely available, you'...

Because what Mr. Gleason suggests is that you implement HTTP PUT yourself. That is: RFCs 7230, 7231, 7234, 7235, 7236, 7617, and maybe 7616. You may also want to have a look at RFCs 2817, and 2818 for TLS. > Libshout is a c++ library. Is there a wrapper for .Net or a .dll, so I can use it in...

A few questions regarding the OpenSSH support for the Diffie Hellman key exchange algorithms: (1) Are the diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256", "diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1" , "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1" "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" (as defined in RFCs 4253 and RFC 4419) the complete list of key exchange algorithms supported by OpenSSH? (2) Is there a way to configure the DH key exchange algorithms to be supported? For e.g. if we want to support only "diffie-hellman-group14-sha1", is it possible to configure it? It looks like it is pos...

...in order to better co-ordinate ongoing work between different developers. This is primarily to sync-up, share blocking issues and so on. I understand something similar was done during the aarch64/arm64 backend upstreaming. Obviously decision making takes place through llvm/clang mailing lists with RFCs as appropriate. As everyone is spread across different timezones we're going to alternate between two time slots, switching each week. Although fully open, this is really intended for those who are actively working on RISC-V in upstream LLVM projects. If you're looking for support with issu...

Hi, After a long discussion with a friend, I would like to ask here: 1.According SIP RFCs, is possible/recommended to have different values in >From and P-Asserted-Id fields ? For instance, From field showing 123456789 and P-Asserted-Id showing 987654321 (beside privacy considerations) ? 2. When Bob forwards to Cory a call coming from Alice, would expect Diversion/History-Info heade...

...ce, usable by eg postfix, which I don't see any reference to in SASL summaries online. Is that a standard interface? ie can a client like postfix talk to either dovecot or cyrus without knowing the difference? Are there others? Is there a good reference to this somewhere, short of reading the RFCs? And is there any option (current or proposed) to let dovecot act as a client, rather than a server? Thanks, Richard

Hi all, As RFCs go this is short and sweet - I think it would be nice to add an empty method to iterator_range. Something like: bool empty() const { return begin() != end(); } My motivation is to make the 'if' test at the start of this common pattern tidier: if (!collection.empty()) // initialization....

I'm not a master of the internet RFCs, but I do believe icmp messages have different types. Now to enable traceroute for IPFW, I might put in a rule like this: ipfw add pass icmp from any to me However, how would I make a rule to limit icmp messages to just those used by traceroute? Can the messages be distinguished as such? A dyn...

...e IN-USE extended POP3 response code as 8.1.2. The IN-USE response code This occurs on an -ERR response to an AUTH, APOP, or PASS command. It indicates the authentication was successful, but the user's maildrop is currently in use (probably by another POP3 client). http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2449.html In contrast to this, the POP3 login code in client_authenticate.c will send IN-USE whenever authentication was not successful because of some kind of internal failure[*].
