Today i updated my securemote/secureclient to version R56 Build 619. After the upgrade my ethereal stopped working. The problem was with the winpcap driver. It didn’t return me any interface for capture. Upgrading the winpcap from version 3.0 to version 3.01a solved my problem.

Do you remember those funny days 8 years ago, where you could crash your win95 colleague pc with a nice Blue screen of Death ? Microsoft hasn’t forgotten you.

Firefox 1.0.1 released to fix a lot of security problems. The good think is that it appears that they corrected (a bit) the problem with rendering the slashdot pages

I use dspam for its speed and accuracy, for it’s web interface and statistics. I miss one feature. Retrain via History. Why ? Cause i don’t like to bounce messages. Cause you cannot convince your users to do it, and do it properly, cause i use the signatureLocation=headers, and the only MUA that works is…

Yes sendmail DOESN’T support maildir format. But if you use procmail here is the solution: Create a Maildir directory on your home folder using maildirmake. If you don’t have it you can try the following: mkdir $HOME/Maildir mkdir $HOME/Maildir/cur mkdir $HOME/Maildir/new mkdir $HOME/Maildir/tmp And create a .procmailrc using only that rule: :0 /home/yourhomedirectory/Maildir/ If procmail…

My DNS server (bind 9) was writing on the syslog quite often the common error message: [b]lame server resolving[/b]. A server is marked as lame when either an NS record points to an incorrect host, or the authoritative server is not giving authoritative anwers (that means is responding from his cache). Solution: You can turn…

I have about 5-6 installation of firefox 1.0 on win32, most of them on windows xp. All of them with the same settings, same extensions and theme. From time to time i get a lot of crashes with the following error: [b]AppName: firefox.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.0 ModName: js3250.dll ModVer: 4.0.0.0 Offset: 000084f7[/b] Especially when i try…

Finally after many many versions slimbrowser now can be closed before a file is completely downloaded. Slimbrowser is my second option after firefox (even if it uses the IE engine) [url]http://www.flashpeak.com/sbrowser/[/url]

Today i found some time to update my asterisk installation. I used for a long time the 0.9. Now the latest version is 1.0.3. The update was less than ten minutes and everything work as expected, including my Zaptel interface. I removed also the oh323 support since i am switching to IAX. More on IAX…

Did i say how much i love the ability to do a port forwarding with ssh ? The problem: My router has a web interface which it is acceptable only from my internal network. That mean that i cannot change anything if i am not home. OK i can use a lynx from one of…

I tried to upgrade my WRT54GS firmware to Alchemy 6.0 RC3 from Alchemy pre5.4. Result: iptables didn’t load the rules. Restore to defaults didn’t solve it. I download the RC4 and everythink is back to normal. Thanks sveasoft guys.

I was reading slashdot and drinking the first coffe of the day, and i came across to this “Secunia is reported about a new vulnerability, which affects all browsers. It allows a malicious web site to “hi-jack” pop-up windows, which could have been opened by e.g. a your bank or an online shop” [url]http://secunia.com/multiple_browsers_window_injection_vulnerability_test/[/url] The…

First time that somebody told me i don’t use the vi the way i should. There was something like 0,10,20,30,40,50 and i should switch it to all zeros. I did it with dw and insert a 0. And the other guy said “Why you don’t use the repeat command” 🙂 cw changewhatyouwant for the first…
