AMaViS-ng 0.1.6 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256297
AMaViS-ng is a modular rewrite of amavisd and amavis-perl. It scans
email for malicious code inside attachments and archive files, stopping
delivery if malicious code is found. It supports integration of several
third-party virus scanners and integrates nicely into several MTA
setups. Unlike amavis-perl and amavisd, there is no need for build-time
configuration. Changes: Support for Courier-MTA, CLAM Antivirus daemon,
F-Prot daemon ("enterprise") version, INOC, NOD32 daemon, RAV, Trophie
daemon, and drWeb has been added. The main documentation is now
provided in Texinfo format.
Crystal Space 0.96r003 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256365
Crystal Space 0.96r003 has been released. This release fixes a number
of the problems and issues discovered in the 0.96r002 release. Crystal
Space is an Open Source 3D SDK for Unix, Windows, MacOS/X. It renders
with OpenGL or software and features curved surfaces, volumetric fog,
dynamic colored lighting, terrain engine, LOD, procedural textures,
portals, etc. Here is a brief overview of some of the problems
addressed by this release: * On some drivers OpenGL incorrectly reports
the maximum texture size. CS now detects this case and uses a
reasonable default. * Several bugs were fixed in the ensocket
networking plugin. * PNG image loader now works on platforms with
different structure sizes. * Map2CS outputs directly usable XML now.
levtool is still needed to improve performance. * Bug fixed in OpenGL
which could causes objects to disappear. * Fullscreen in Windows/OpenGL
works better now. * Fixed memory leak in OpenGL. * Fixed memory
overwrite bug in Dynavis. This could cause crashes at exit. * Fixed
several culling errors in Dynavis. * Fixed dynamic ambient for objects
using DrawPolygonMesh. * Fixed ref counting problems in the DirectSound
renderer. * Fixed a bug in the AWS notebook. * Fixed bugs in the
sequence manager to ensure that operations are fired in the right
order. * Added new csArray class. * The localshadows flag for genmesh
now works. * 'ball' mesh object now implements iPolygonMesh (can be
used for collision detection). * Static and pseudo-dynamic lighting
recalculation is now a LOT faster (several factors). * Updating the
color of a pseudo-dynamic light is also faster. * Fixed several bugs in
the console. * Several smaller performance improvements. * Several
smaller bug fixes. * Several configure/autoconf changes. Check out
http://crystal.sf.net for more information.
tcpdump 3.7.2 released

tcpdump 3.7.2 has been released. As described in the ChangeLog, a
handful of security problems have been addressed. In particular,
iDEFENSE Security Advisory 02.27.03 (a vulnerability in the isakmp
parser) has been addressed, and we recommend upgrading to this release.
The MD5 of this release is: MD5 (tcpdump-3.7.2.tar.gz) =
1e44b59abba39a48e3680bc2cffb8a6a In addition, a PGP signature is
available for download.
POPFile v0.18.1 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256338
POPFile is an email classification tool with a Naive Bayes classifier,
a POP3 proxy and a web interface. It runs on most platforms and with
most email clients. Release 0.18.1 fixes bugs found in the major 0.18
major release and has significant accessibility enhancements (Bobby AA
rating). INTRODUCTION v0.18.0 was a major update and inevitably some
bugs crept in that we didn't detect prior to shipping. Happily they
have been fixed, and even more happily the regression test suite now
has tests for many of them so that they will never reoccur. v0.18.1
fixes these bugs (see THE GORY DETAILS below for the gory details) and
also has two significant changes: the caching code associated with the
History page has been totally rewritten by me so that the History
barely slows down as the number of messages in the History increases;
the Windows installer can now configure Outlook and Outlook Express
Internet email accounts for you (and undo the changes if you uninstall
POPFile). POPFile v0.18.1 is also the first version where the UI meets
the Bobby AA rating for accessibility. This means that not only does
POPFile not discriminate against particular operating system, or
natural languages, or ways you want to sort your mail, but it is also
accessible by everyone regardless of the specific challenges they face.
(FOr more details on this drop by
http://bobby.watchfire.com/bobby/html/en/about.jsp) Aside: If you are
young, fit, and computer literate you might wonder why I bothered to
make Bobby-level accessibility a requirement. Early on in POPFile's
development a user told me that POPFile was a life changer. For him,
sorting mail had been an arduous, frustrating task. ESSENTIAL READING
IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM v0.17.x 1. BACK UP YOUR OLD INSTALLATION:
POPFile makes this really easy, just copy the entire POPFile directory
somewhere. You can then safely install POPFile v0.18.1 on top of your
current installation; I just think a back up is a sensible precaution.
2. YOUR HISTORY WILL CLEAR: I have changed the format of the History
files used in this version which means that the old History files will
not be read by POPFile and will in fact be deleted to save disk space.
If you need to do any reclassifications prior to installing v0.18.1 do
them! POPFile does NOT clear buckets, statistics or anything else on
install of this version, just the History files. To refresh the History
view click the History tab at any time; POPFile will check disk for new
messages. 3. IF YOU HAD BROKEN MAGNETS: I have added automatic update
of broken magnets. If you had a magnet like [foo] which POPFile
mistakenly changed to \[foo\] it should get magically fixed and start
working. 4. ACCURACY MIGHT DROP FOR A SHORT WHILE: because of some
changes made in the mail parser it is possible that you might see
accuracy drop initially and you may find yourself reclassifying a few
messages that used to work. This is unfortunate but necessary to make
POPFile even more accurate than before and v0.18.1 incorporates changes
that make POPFile's classification accuracy better; however old
corpuses might need a little retraining. DOWNLOADING You can obtain the
latest release of POPFile by visiting
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=63137 UPGRADING
Just install POPFile on top of the currently installed version. But did
you read the ESSENTIAL READING above first if you are upgrading from a
pre v0.18.0 version? FAQ zonk3r has spent a great deal of time on a
POPFile FAQ. Please check it out as it covers many questions that you
might have:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14421&group_id=6313
7 THE GORY DETAILS 1. Fixed a serious bug that could cause POPFile to
stop responding to POP3 and HTTP requests in the middle of downloading
mail when the mail message containing a MIME encoding that used certain
characters that were special in a Perl regular expression. (Reported by
ecarlseen, gilesjuk, panther757, szkaroly and fixed by sschinke) 2. The
skinning system continues to evole with kraelen, stanley_krute and
kinematics working madly to make everything skinnable, make everything
comply with HTML 4.01, CSS1 and Bobby AA guidelines. 3. The code that
handled the History cache that was meant to speed the loading of the
History pages and that I originally wrote was pretty lame and some
people (including me!) were ending up with 1000 message in the history
and the load time sucked. So I fixed it. The new cache will load ONCE
and ONLY ONCE per file and caches everything in memory. When new
messages are received they get loaded once per new message as well.
When a History page needs to be generated everything can be loaded from
the cache without doing any disk access which means that you should see
little difference between 10 messages and 1000. 4. To magnets would not
work correctly if the To line in the email header contained multiple
lines. (Reported by drunin and fixed by kinematics) 5. There was a
nasty problem where sometimes the statistics would not update correctly
which typically happened when you downloaded a large number of emails
in one batch. This was caused by the fact that we weren't flushing the
pipe between the child POP3 process and the parent regularly, this has
been modified so that this can never happen and statistics update in
real time even as mail is downloading. (Reported by burale, ct85711) 6.
The Windows installer has been much improved with the assistance of
xuesheng to make it reconfigure Outlook and Outlook Express for you and
include a number of new screens. 7. Quarantine had a couple of bugs
where it would show the incorrect date (reported by thejcab) and the
wrong to address (reported by dyoungmciwcom) under some circumtances.
8. When the From or Subject was encoded using base64 or quoted
printable weird things would show up in the History. (Reported by
goulduck and fixed by williamxp) 9. spf and I went back and forth
discussing line endings in the files saved to disk so that all the MSG
and CLS files could be loaded into an editor on any platform without
extraneous characters. 10. People who live on the Bleeding Edge were
getting update warnings from POPFile even though they were on the
latest version. This has been fixed on the update server. 11. Magnets
containing the & character could not be deleted. (Reported by the
infamous stanley_krute and fixed by helphand) 12. There was a bug
associateds with invisible ink detection that could cause POPFile's
HTML engine to think invisible ink was in use when a font tag spanned a
table. (Reported by mfichtner) 13. If POPFile didn't exit gracefully
then statistics were not being saved to disk and would not be up to
date. (Reported by daemon72) 14. The Shutdown page had no CSS because
POPFile was shutdown, we now have a simple SSI solution just for the
shutdown page. (Fix and report by helphand) 15. There was a problem
with Subject Line Modification where if it was turned off every subject
line got an extra space in it. (Reported by and fixed by helphand) 16.
There was a bug where you couldn't look up words that had # in them.
(Reported by adammc and fixed by helphand) 17. Viewing base64 encoded
messages in the History resulted in little useful output. (Reported by
biljir and fixed by pkarlin) 18. sschinke whipped up a new -archive
option that causes message removed from the History to get saved away
on disk. 19. sschinke made POPFile behave better when a POP3 server
suddenly stops responding in the middle of a conversation. DONATIONS

definitive answer, or at least make a reasonably intelligent guess?
Looking at the amount of movie clips and entire flicks posted to the
'*.erotica.*' newsgroups on a daily basis, I have to believe that porn
is a significant percentage of the traffic, but is it 10%, 20%, 50%?
More? I've tried to research this on my own, but Google keeps sending
me to sites with porn, not site about porn. (No, really!)"

Minimum Seek Hard Disk Drivers for Unix?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/03/213254
[0]Jonathan Andrews asks: "I remember back in the old days reading
about a filesystem/device driver that had alomost no seeks of the
physical disk. It worked by scanning the heads of the disk from track 0
to the end then back again in a constant motion. Disk reads and writes
where cached so that they got written to disk only when the heads where
on that part of the platter. My question is simple, now that disks are
IDE, have lots of heads and even worse differing Heads/Cylander/Sector
translation scemes is this type of system even possible? Would you have
to fight the disk cache on the drive? I seem to recall it giving real
throughput advantages, if the cache was large enough to hold 'one sweep
times worth of data' then the cache almost never blocked and disk
writes/reads sustained at the max throughput all the time. Best of all
it gets rid of that blased seeking, chewing, seeking noise!"

Slashcode
Sectionindexd
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/03/1722202
Hi, I'm running slash 2.2.5 on OS X 10.2. Everything has been running
fine for two months and I was using only one main section for all my
topics. Eventually, the need for multiple sections appeared. To keep my
users abreast of what's happening in the new sections, I would need to
replicate the nifty Section box as seen on Slashdot with a Story count
per section. I can't find any way to have it generated automatically. I
searched slashcode and google for answers and found nothing. Finally I
noticed a template called sectionindexd but I can't figure it out. Any
will be help appreciated...
Email Plugin not installed
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/28/1728229
I'm a relative slash newbie. I've just installed 2.3.0. During the
install, I chose "Email Plugin" (I think it was item #6 on the list),
but when I click on the email icon for a story, I get a page that says:
The plugin you have requested Slash::Email, was not
properly installed. I tried restarting both slash and apache, and I
tried using the install-plugin tool (again, I chose Email, and said yes
to using symlinks), but the page continues to state that it's not
installed properly. I do have an Email directory in the plugins
directory, and everything there looks good (to my untrained eye). I
also looked in the logs, but there was no mention of the Email plugin
in the slashd.log file. I seem to have the perl module installed
correctly. I find these three files:
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread
-multi/auto/Slash/Email
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread
-multi/auto/Slash/Email/.packlist
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Slash/Email. pm Any ideas
what might not be installed properly or how it is determined that a
plugin either is or is not installed?

freshenup.pl / prog2file hanging (again)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/27/1717234
I know this has been asked before, but I've been doing some digging and
I can't see any answers to the problems that quite a few people seem to
have been hitting. The issue is that slashd stops working, and it
appears to be when it calls prog2file(), and I'm assuming that the line
in prog2file() is the backticked execution of the command passed. There
are previous threads regarding this here and here, and I've seen other
discussions away from SlashCode too. These threads all just seem to
peter out without any resolution. Here's my question: I've removed the
last two calls to prog2file from freshenup.pl, and slashd now keeps
going fine, and my site still seems to be working... what have I broken
by removing these calls? Is this wise (I suspect not) :) And has anyone
resolved this issue???
Slash not emailing Daily Headlines / Stories
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/176227
I have got a basic install up and running and so far everything is
behaving as expected in terms of the web ui. My previous post regarding
external authentication is being followed up with the developers of our
current community software, I will post whatever developments come from
that should others find it useful. One oddity I am noticing is that the
website is not emailing me like it did the very first day. I received a
report on the activity along with the news headlines. The next day and
from then on in I have not received any mail. The system is mailing
correctly. New registrations and password requests come through without
any problems at all. It seems limited to the cronish sort of things. I
can not find any errors in the logs to help guide me here, has anyone
else experienced this? One thing I did do that may have broken
something was change my slash install from on domain to another by
going through the install process again. Any pointers would be most
appreciated, Mitchell
Installing Slash article on Linux Journal website
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/176200

are writing modules you may find it useful for your own applications.
Feedback is welcome.
Link Tag to Enable Auto-Discovery of RSS Files
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/21/1652216
Recently, I have been making small changes to my Slash sites to make
them integrate better into the weblog communities dominated by Blogger,
Radio from Userland, Movable Type, and similar tools. I found out that
some of the weblog aggregation tools look for a specific link tag in
the head portion of a site's home page in order to locate that site's
RSS file. This is the kind of thing that can be added to a template
without changing any code. Here's the code itself: <link
rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"
href="__YOUR_RSS_URL__"> For more information about the research I
did to arrive at this conclusion, see the article How Weblog Monitors
Automatically Discover RSS Feeds on CTDATA.com.
