lladdr in ipconfig - what's the story?

2005-06-06 Thread Steffen Kluge
Hi all, I'd like some clarification on the support or non-support of the lladdr option in ipconfig. I'm getting conflicting evidence from various sources: on-line man page (+), man page of my brand new 3.7 install (-), various forums (mix of + and -). It looks as if the ipconfig that comes with 3.7

Hi all, I recently moved a web server in my domain to OpenBSD 3.7. Out of curiosity I looked it up at netcraft. While they correctly identified the web server software, the OS was listed as "unkown". Not that I really care about this, but I'm curious as to what prevented them from fingerprinting t

sudo vulnerability

2005-06-20 Thread Steffen Kluge
Hi all, I was wondering whether sudo 1.6.8p8 as found in -current has the pathname validation vulnerability reported recently (e.g. at http://www.auscert.org.au/render.html?it=5193). Its version number would suggest it does, however OBSD might contain patches that are not included upstream, or oth

DST oddity in Australia/NSW timezone

I just noticed that a fresh 3.8 install doesn't contain the DST exception that has been declared for Australia (NSW and ACT) this year, apparently to accommodate the Commonwealth Games. This year, daylight savings won't be turned back on the last Sunday in March, as usual, but a week later on the
