Scratchbox: You must close your other scratchbox sessions first
after playing around a little bit with maemo inside scratchbox, i managed to break the packetsystem beyond repair... so i wanted to start again, but the maemo-sdk-install_4.0.sh
told me:
E: You must close your other scratchbox sessions first

Scratchbox: Inconsistency detected by ld.so
As i blogged before i'm going to be the happy (?) owner of a Nokia N810. On this device runs a Linux with a special distribution and there is also a Development SDK, which can be run on ia32-machines.
This SDK relies on Scratchbox, so i just downloaded and tried to install it. This works smoothly, they provide a shellscript, which downloads all needed components and feeds them to dpkg.
But, when i try to start Scratchbox i get Inconsistency detected by ld.so: rtld.c: 1192: dl_main: Assertion `(void *) ph->p_vaddr == _rtld_local._dl_sysinfo_dso' failed!
after some g00gleing, i finally found the solution here: [Scratchbox-users] Re: scratchbox doesn't works any more.
and the answer is: The kernel needs VDSO. This option is in Linux-Kernel-menuconfig in the 'Processor type and features' submenu.
The help on that item shows:
Say N here if you are running a sufficiently recent glibc version (2.3.3 or later), to remove the high-mapped VDSO mapping and to exclusively use the randomized VDSO.and so i switched it off. Ok, with on again now, lets find the next obstacle.

mutt: autoviewing text/html
it sometimes funny, i'm working with mutt since about 10years, (the 5years before i was using elm) and just found out how i can view pure text/html-Mails without fiddeling with piping and things.set implicit_autoview
in .muttrc does the trick.
but now mutt also prefers the text/html-part of multipart/alternative-mails, this is going to far for me. i want the text/plain-part if available. mutt has also a solution here:alternative_order text/plain text/html
and done. no more piping to html2text. One day i'll read through the whole manual again...

sendmail uses ident be default
I have no idea how the other major MTAs handle this, but sendmail seems to issue an ident-auth-request on each connect it gets.
As i think this is rather useless, as most hosts don't answer it, and, even if they would, the answer is easily fakeable, i switched it off.
adding define(`confTO_IDENT', `0')dnl
to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc disables this. Sadly this isn't documented, for confTO_IDENT it only states
The timeout waiting for a response to an IDENT query.

Analysis of subscribed Domains on Debian-Listserver.
From time to time we have the problem that a mail posted to a list triggers an autoresponse (vacation, bounce, tdma) from an unexpected source. Sometimes it isn't possible to identify the subscriber who is causing this. One example for this was 'petsupermarket'.
So i wrote a small tool, which takes Mailadresses as input and resolves the domains until it reaches IP-level, so it is possible to identify 'related' addresses to such an incident.
I now ran this tool for all 38656 domainparts mailadresses that are currently subscribed to some list at our listservers:
Unresolveable Domains : 443
Grounded Domains : 3
Domains with A : 1058
Domains with CNAME, A : 59
Domains with CNAME, CNAME, A : 3
Domains with MX, A : 36202
Domains with MX, CNAME, A : 1199
Domains with MX, CNAME, CNAME, A : 22
Domains with MX, CNAME, CNAME, CNAME, A : 5
Domains with MX, PTR : 36
Domains with unresolvable Hosts : 361
Domain names in RRs which point at another name should always point at the primary name and not the alias. This avoids extra indirections in accessing information.
3.3.9. MX RDATA format

where:
PREFERENCE A 16 bit integer which specifies the preference given to
this RR among others at the same owner. Lower values
are preferred.
EXCHANGE A <domain-name> which specifies a host willing to act as
a mail exchange for the owner name.
MX records cause type A additional section processing for the host
specified by EXCHANGE.

I'm a criminal
The German parliament changed the law on 25th may 2007.
It's now forbidden to build, program, give, distribute or get software, which can be used to attack computers. that's something i do on a daily basis. (think nmap)
so it is only a question of time that i get caught.
