7/16    Anyone has experience with transaction control in LDAP?  How
        is that generally accomplished programtically, if possible?
        Looking at the log and rollback the transaction manually is not an
        option.

5/17    Damn Evite changed their format and now scores 14 on our spamassassin
        scale.  Evites are being filtered, check your spam folder if worried.
        \_ Evite is spam.
        \_ Can't you just whitelist evite?
        \_ Consider for a moment that there is a reason evites are filtered.
           \_ I've been blocking evites globablly on my home server since I
              got my first evite and tried to find a way to remove myself from
              their database.  There isn't.  I'm very unhappy with the idea
              that evite is going to sell my address as a good/known-valid
              address to every spam house in the universe when they go under.
              Fuck evite.  I can't believe any real geeks would fall prey to
              their obvious email address harvesting crap.
              \_ Evite is owned by Ticketmaster.
                 Ticketmaster is owned by Paul Allen.
                 I doubt they're going under anytime soon.
                 [moved.  interupting is rude]
                 \_ because paul allen will float it forever.  bullshit.
              \_ what's your email address?
                 \_ csua@csua.berkeley.edu
              \_ Exactly. I never understood the need to go through a 3rd
                 party to send out invitations.  What's the point of giving
                 them your emailing list so you can have them send out
                 invites to your friends instead of sending them yourself?
                 More work for no gain.
                 \_ Not that I like using or receiving invitations from Evite
                    or similar services, but it keeps track of who are and are
                    not attending and their short responses.  Less work for the
                    inviter.
                    \_ take a minute to write up your own..
                    \_ Nice service, but it's still despicable.
                    \_ Because I'm an idiot and can't figure out if someone is
                       showing or not from their reply?
                       \_ Evite is an "e-solution". "e-solutions" are cool
                       \_ If you're inviting 100 people and their family and
                          man. I bet it took a lot of hard core Perl coders
                          to do Evite.
                       \_ If you're inviting 50 people and their families and
                          people keep on changing their minds, Evite probably
                          makes the job easier.  I think it's too impersonal so
                          I don't use it.
           \_ No one invites me to anything because I spend all night
              filtering my email.
              \_ No one I know is stupid enough to use a spam agency like Evite
                 to invite me to something.
                  \_ You have an odd definition of "know" and even then you
                     don't know too many people do you.
                     \_ If you made any sense I'd respond with more than this.
        \_ EVITE IS 100% FREE!!!! ORDER NOW!!!1!!!! SO WE CAN PUT YOUR NAME ON
           LISTS D00D AND SHOW YOU ADS AND TRACK YOU WITH WEB BUGS!!!1!! CMON!

7/16    My CGI stuff on soda is failing with "premature end of script headers"
        What the deally, yo?
        \_ Did you edit the files on Windoze and are now trying to run
           them on Unix? They treat <CR> and <LF> differently.
        \_ Is this the suexec problem?
        \_ I mailed www, and was told it was because they were working on
           getting suexec working.  At the time, even trivial CGI stuff wasn't
           working.  It appears to be fixed this morning (7/17).
           \_ Looks OK now.  Thanks for looking into it.
              -OP (original poster, i just invented a new motd-ism!)
                \_ uh, people have been using -OP for years.

5/17    Is sudo always setuid root?
        \_ how else would it do things as root? -tom
           \_ it wouldn't. but aren't a very large number of root exploits
              found because of problems with setuid?
                \_ what does that matter?  If you need to do things as root,
                   you need something that's setuid root.  sudo should in
                   general be safer and more secure than su.  -tom
                \_ i suppose if you wanted to only run things as daemon you
                   could make it suid daemon instead.

7/16    My CGI stuff on soda is failing with "premature ejaculation"
        What the deally, yo?

                   \_ I've been using that since 3rd grade!  You
                      got molded!!!
                      \_ Um.  Isn't it "moded," short for "outmoded"?
                   \_ Well no for a year or so maybe.  And *I* invented it.
                      Or coined it, actually.
