I will release third (more or less unstable) release ISO if nothing will prevent me from doing that :-) The latest delphijfork includes several new features, which is tend to exhibit new technologies and possiblities of FreeBSD:

• An implementation of RFC 3522 ported from DragonFlyBSD
• An implementation of Early Retransmission ported from DragonFlyBSD

Also, FreeBSD-CURRENT has several new features, including:

• In progress import of binutils 2.15
• pf 3.5. Including several new features and works better with spamd.
• better ACPI support

台湾有这么一所学校，学生年龄在15－18之间，每年三千多学生中，因违反校规校纪被校方开除的二、三百人。学校没有工人，没有保卫，没有大师傅，一切必要工种都由学生自己去做。学校实行学长制，三年级学生带一年级学生。全校集合只需3分钟。学生见到老师七米外要敬礼。学生没有寒署假作业，没有一个考不上大学的。这就是台湾享誉30年以道德教育为本的忠信高级工商学校。在台湾各大报纸招聘广告上，经常出现"只招忠信毕业生」字样。

While I believe that proactive security practice is necessary for every consumers, the most conversave ones should argue that even a security update will possibly break compablity.

Now I am in trouble. With rsync 2.5.5 installed on a FreeBSD system, we know that it is possible to overflow its heap, however, shall we patch it, or just let it as-is because it is not exploitable on FreeBSD, unlike Linux’s silly brk(9) implementation?

Finally, yes, itojun has imported pf(4) into NetBSD. Having pf(4) in base indicates that NetBSD’s recognition of pf(4) related work, and as security officer of NetBSD, itojun-san’s import have some special meanings.

I have watched spurious SYN messages and apparantly this has affected beastie.frontfree.net’s networking subsystem, namely, its mail system. The attack is from 203.81.27.11.

Whois indicates 203.81.27.11 is:

grep cgi-bin scripttime | cut -f6,8 -d’ ’ | sed -E s/\\\?.+//g | grep cgi-bin | sort | uniq -c | sort > statis

Where scripttime is a log with %T (script execution time) log. The above command line will obtain execution time, script name from log, then sort it by the execution time, then have a counted unique.

I have added some SYNFLOOD proof packet filter rules for beastie.frontfree.net. Interestingly, the filter options seems to “forge” beastie.frontfree.net to be an OpenBSD box.

marcel has finally imported gdb into FreeBSD-base. Now we can debug kernels again.
