Fedora Core's memory problem

; chkconfig --list autofs
service autofs supports chkconfig, but is not referenced in any runlevel (run 'chkconfig --add autofs')
; rpm -U autofs*.rpm
[...]
; chkconfig --list autofs
autofs 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

Is it too much to ask that Fedora Core remember what services Iwant and don't want running over package upgrades? Apparentlyit is, because this happens

驪歌

到達依靠走動
到達的意義
是什麼
未存在之地,虛托的歌
因為無法安心描述
我們在家中書桌上
各自寫了又寫

走過的路徑都回復空曠
灣仔海邊沒有留下我們
身上海水曾經襲擊,它們沒有料到
這改變了衣衫的物料
不再安於表面。

A SMTP implementor's conundrum

Today I ran across a good example of the sort of engineering conundrumthat bedevils people who implement things like SMTP clients:

In a multiline SMTP reply , which replycode should you use if different lines of the reply have differentcodes?

That is, in a regrettably non-hypothetical example, if you send aserver ' MAIL FROM: ' and get back:

250-There's a problem.454 please try later

Should your client go on and send a RCPT TO ,


An example of Unix's slow fossilization

If you walk up to the console of some Linux machines that have theircapslock turned on and try to log in, an interesting thing happens:

keyx login: CKSPASSWORD:[...]CKS@KEYX:~$

(This works with Ubuntu 6.06, but not with Fedora Core 6.)

Why does this happen?

Once, long ago, there were terminals that only did upper case, and therewere people who wanted to connect them to Unix systems. So Bell Labs puta

公司安排了我這顆寂寞芳心23-27號留在香港,那唯一可以做的,就是寫下這篇你正在看的blog。

總覺得傷心就像感冒一樣,吃藥過後,三兩天便會康復。當然,一星期後又可以被人惹病了。

然而,寂寞呢,就像咳嗽。

A limitation of OpenBSD bridging NAT firewalls

We put a new SMTP frontend machine in front of our core mail servertoday to handle incoming email from the outside world (for the usualreasons: dealing with spam better, shielding the core server fromsix zillion zombies all trying to talk to it at once, etc).

Rather than wait for updated MX entries for all our domains to propagatearound and for people to switch to them, we figured we could speed upthe process by having our bridging firewall send connections for the coreserver's port 25

「短歌行」——單說曹操的吧。我記得的是這樣:曹操對時間的敏感反應、印證著那個時代的滿腹憂思(魏晉能人異士極多可成人物譜,然而普遍短壽若四十左右收皮),即使對著明燈盛宴華冠杜康仍然不可斷絕,諸種的複雜,
