Is there a way in dntpd.conf to specify from which hosts dntpd will accept 
time requests?

Maybe via tcp-wrappers (/etc/hosts.allow)?

It's 'probably' ok, but it isn't desireable.  It means one part of
the system detached while another part of the system was still using
it.

dntpd is client-only (though I think it would be fairly easy to have
it serve requests if someone wanted to add that).  It pulls the time
from the hosts specified in /etc/dntpd.conf.

/etc/dntpd.conf is installed by default with {0,1,2}.pool.ntp.org.

Easy way to find identify files which share some content/blocks

2011-05-01 Thread Thomas Keusch
Hello,

now that Dragonfly's HAMMER has got deduplication I ask myself if there
is a simple way to identify pairs or groups of files which share a lot
of data, i.e. are mostly identical.

I have a rather large repository of downloaded pictures, which contain
a lot of dupes in multiple locations. I have no problems finding those
given some time and a shell prompt.

I'm interested in identifying broken files. Broken in the sense that
A is an incomplete version of B (some bytes missing), or B a damaged
version of A (some additional bytes at the end).

Is there a way to get to something like this:

File A shares 1234 (98.3%) data blocks with file B
File A shares  (xx.x%) data blocks with file C

Getting a step closer helps too.

Thanks for any insights.


Regards
Thomas
