6/6     imap via ssl on csua is down: ports 585 and 993 both refuse connection.
        Why does csua require ssh when we are only allowed to use nonsecure
        imap?
        \_ You could always do IMAP over SSH like what I do.
           ssh -g -l jondoe -L 20143:csua.berkeley.edu:143 http://csua.berkeley.edu
           then connect to localhost:20143 from your client. -jeff
           \_ Works great, thanks so much for the great tip!!!  Now I
              don't have to badger our sysadmins about this any more, they
              have resisted installing imap/ssl...
        \_ You are a moron.
           \_ well, no.  this has been happening all too often lately.
              root has been pinged about putting ssl+imap into inetd, but
              as yet nothing has been done about it.  They could get the
              complaints and the security concern out of their hair
              very quickly...  Granted, the person could ssh tunnel
              themselves, but changing your config when it's soda's config
              that's broken is a time sink.
              \_ Or they could *GASP* read mail on soda!
                 \_ If we offer a service, we should do at least the bare
                    minimum to keep it running.  it's not that hard to put
                    it into inetd...
                 \_ that's not the way of the true alumni!  POP YER MAIL!
                    \_ Fuck off, paolo.
                       \_ That's no way to talk to an Dept Honored Officer!
                          \_ Heh.
        \_ IMAP/SSL is now available.
           \_ how about POP/SSL?
           \_ how about SSH/SSL??  I want my secure link to be totally secure!

9/20    How do I change my shell? chsh says "Cannot change ID to root."
        \_ /usr/bin/chsh does not have the SUID permission set. Without
           being set, it does not successfully change a user's shell.
           Typical newbie sys admin (on soda)

8/6     Amazon and Apple have lame security policies:

        "First you call Amazon and tell them you are the account holder, and
         want to add a credit card number to the account. All you need is the
         name on the account, an associated e-mail address, and the billing
         address. "

5/8     Hello everyone!  This is Josh Hawn, CSUA Tech VP for Spring 2012.
        About 2 weeks ago, someone brought to my attention that our script
        to periodically merge /etc/motd.public into /etc/motd wasn't
        running.  When I looked into it, the cron daemon was running, but
        there hadn't been any root activity in the log since April 7th.  I
        looked into it for a while, but got lost in other things I was

        version of Firefox will soon be vulnerable to online attacks."  Are
        they planning to turn off some security feature in my version of
        Firefox?
        \_ Not as such, no, but they're no longer developing this version,
           so if a 3.6.x-targeted hack shows up, you're not going to get
