2012/9/24-11/7 [Computer/SW/Languages, Computer/SW/Unix] UID:54484 Activity:nil | 9/24 How come changing my shell using ldapmodify (chsh doesn't work) doesn't
work either? ldapsearch and getent show the new shell but I still get
the old shell on login.
\_ Scratch that, it magically took my new shell now. WTF?

2009/10/1-21 [Computer/SW/WWW/Browsers] UID:53417 Activity:moderate | 10/1 I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
Will this make me a hozer?
\_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
but our login server is not.

2009/4/22-28 [Computer/SW/Security] UID:52894 Activity:nil | 4/22 ok, here's a little networking puzzler. I haven't been able to access
youtube for a couple weeks. Couldn't figure out why. Happened on all
browsers. traceroute did weird stuff and then timed out. Finally I
got so frustrated I setup firefox to ssh tunnel through soda.csua,
which worked great. Then, I kill the ssh proc, quit FF, and now,
I can access youtube just fine from any browser. wtf? any

2009/3/8-17 [Computer/SW/Unix] UID:52685 Activity:kinda low | 3/8 I'm reading about an old exploit where someone used a buffer overflow
in a printer daemon to get "daemon privileges," which allowed them
to use another exploit on the mail delivery program to get root. I'm
not sure what daemon privileges are. Is there some set of priveleges
that most daemons run on that is higher than user but lower than root?
What are they? I've never heard this before.

2009/1/2-8 [Computer/HW, Computer/HW/Drives] UID:52310 Activity:low | 12/31 SOMEONE PLEASE FIX KEG! Why does it keep crashing?
\_ It's hard to tell. The risk of crashing seems to increase with
disk activity, or so it seems, but debugging the kernel doesn't
seem to yield much info. Email root for detailed info; I don't
have a deep understanding of the problem --t
\_ How about a backup LDAP server? I don't need files as much

2008/12/4-10 [Computer/HW/CPU, Computer/HW/Drives] UID:52163 Activity:nil | 12/4 A question to you old crufy alumni: So lately we've suggested
VMs, and been asked why it's necessary. We've suggested top-of-the-line
hardware and been told we don't need that much power. So I'd like to
ask -- what exactly do you think the CSUA is supposed to _be_?
\_ Noone said VMs weren't needed. They suggested you use the
