Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2005 22:11:15 -0500 (EST) To: mouseware Subject: livebackup update (The first time I've touched livebackup in nearly seven months!) lbd now tries to prevent hammering client disk spindles which contain multiple being-backed-up partitions. See the new lbd.8, in particular the description of the optional fifth field of the config file. Unfortunately this works only when the partitions are all being backed up to the same server. I considered putting it into lb instead, but that looked uglier, even though that really is where it ought to be. Suggestions welcome. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse@rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B From mouse Sun Dec 18 02:26:37 2005 Return-Path: Received: (from mouse@localhost) by Sparkle.Rodents.Montreal.QC.CA (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA29310; Sun, 18 Dec 2005 02:26:37 -0500 (EST) From: der Mouse Message-Id: <200512180726.CAA29310@Sparkle.Rodents.Montreal.QC.CA> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Erik-Conspiracy: There is no Conspiracy - and if there were I wouldn't be part of it anyway.

I also added a new one. Updated: compare, count, libparsedate, libsha, makefiles, moussh. New: trunc. Go stick your head in a pig!

Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2005 03:33:01 -0500 (EST) To: mouseware Subject: more udpates Inspired by the recent sweep of local/, I checked the stuff in hacks/ to see if there were anything out of date there...and found a bunch. Updated: ab addr buffer calc csplit cvtbase findproc msh ppmplot should-set-TERMCAP wav wi. I also got rid of hacks/ssh/, which was never documented and shouldn't've been there (it was where the earliest versions of what's now in local-src/moussh lived). /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse@rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B From mouse Thu Dec 29 02:27:00 2005 Return-Path: Received: (from mouse@localhost) by Sparkle.Rodents.Montreal.QC.CA (8.8.8/8.8.8) id CAA19715; Thu, 29 Dec 2005 02:27:00 -0500 (EST) From: der Mouse Message-Id: <200512290727.CAA19715@Sparkle.Rodents.Montreal.QC.CA> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Erik-Conspiracy: There is no Conspiracy - and if there were I wouldn't be part of it anyway.

Changes in this version: - moussh -add with no further arguments given now iterates over the supported algorithms, looking at each one's default file, rather than erroring out. - The known-hosts database has been changed around. The file format is completely different; it now supports multiple keys per pair, uses the port number as part of the database lookup key by default (overridable by the config file), and has more flexibility available when prompting the user in the case of a missing or mismatched host key. - There is now a way to remove a variable's config-file setting. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse@rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B From mouse Fri Dec 30 01:02:17 2005 Return-Path: Received: (from mouse@localhost) by Sparkle.Rodents.Montreal.QC.CA (8.8.8/8.8.8) id BAA01156; Fri, 30 Dec 2005 01:02:17 -0500 (EST) From: der Mouse Message-Id: <200512300602.BAA01156@Sparkle.Rodents.Montreal.QC.CA> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Erik-Conspiracy: There is no Conspiracy - and if there were I wouldn't be part of it anyway.

Changes this time around: - Fixed EPIPE bug in the server (this made the server die when sending data client->server into a command and the command exits with enough data unread - provokable with "tar ... | moussh ... tar ..." when the archive ends with enough blocks of NULs). - Authentication agent sockets in /tmp are now in per-user mode-700 directories (by default - the directory name can be set in the config file, and the directory can have a different mode if it is pre-set-up). In support of this, -- New config file variables "agent-dir" and "uid". - Fixed bug preventing the chroot facility from working when the user logging in was not a super-user. - Fixed bug that led to leaving old authentication agent sockets lying around under some circumstances. - Assorted minor typos fixed in documentation. Fetchable copy updated. der Mouse
