Bug#623856: String overscan issues in ssmtp (potential for memory corruption)

2011-04-23 Thread Wayne Davison
Package: ssmtp Version: 2.64-4 I have a patch that fixes several issues with the parsing of the From line where a string scan could go off the end or the beginning of the string.  For instance, if it finds a '(' (on a From line w/o a '<'...'>' bounded addr), it will scan past the end if no ')' is

Bug#370799: rsync: [manual] option names should be listed alphabetically

2006-06-06 Thread Wayne Davison
Alphabetical order only helps someone to scan by eye for a known name, not to find a useful option by what function it performs. The current idea is to group options together that perform similar functions, which (hopefully) helps people to find options by their concept (however, the list could ce

Simply edit the /etc/pop-before-smtp/pop-before-smtp.conf and look for the commented $grace assignment: # A 30-minute grace period before the IP address is expired. #$grace = 30*60; Change the second line to be uncommented and have whatever value (in seconds) that you desire. For instance, this

This must be a change in behavior on the part of a library or something. I've just checked in the attached change so that it will come out in the final 2.6.7 release (this patch is relative to 2.6.7pre1). ..wayne.. --- main.c 5 Feb 2006 04:52:11 - 1.293 +++ main.c 11 Feb 2006 0

Bug#166183: rsync: doesnt work if there are spaces in filenames

2006-02-10 Thread Wayne Davison
This is not really a bug, but the documented way rsync currently works. It uses unescaped spaces to allow the user to ask for multiple arguments from the remote host, and thus requires that filenames with spaces be escaped in some shell-compatible manner. Another way to avoid the problem is to use

Russ: your strace output didn't list the 3rd rsync process (there are two processes on the receiving side and one on the sending side). Also, the "issues and debugging" page of the rsync website has some hints to help debug problem scenarios, such as including what "netstat" says about active soc

Bug#23626: #23626 - rsync mingles stdout and stderr

2005-02-20 Thread Wayne Davison
I believe that this bug was fixed in 2.6.3: ssh was setting stderr to non-blocking, so if stderr was combined with stdout (whether redirected to a file or not) they both got set to non-blocking, resulting in the corruption of the output. ..wayne.. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
