Hi!
I'm the admin of rsync5.de.gentoo.org.
For quite a while now (over a year, maybe even two or more), the
gentoo-x86-portage rsync module has been deemed deprecated. Yet
still the manual for setting up an rsync server says that it
should be configured.
I see about 1700 connections on my serve
Hi!
I've cleaned up the source of my logfile analyser (and delinted
it alot). Also, it's now a Python distutils compatible
distribution and I've even included an Ebuild for gentoo systems
(in the unlikely case any of you has use for that ;)).
It's available here:

Hi,
glibc 2.9 uses a different way to implement getaddrinfo() which
triggers a race condition in most (if not all) Netfilter
firewalls that use connection tracking. glibc does nothing wrong
per se, it just triggers the condition. (technical details here:

As some of you know, xorg-1.5 abandoned the "classic" way of
interfacing with PCI and AGP cards in favor of using
libpciaccess. That, in turn expects support from the kernel in
the form of /sys/devicesresourceN files.
