Chkrootkit finds /lib/init/rw/.ramfs on debian etch

Guillaume Rischard — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 08:17:48 +0000

If you have chkrootkit installed on debian etch, you might be getting these messages:

/etc/cron.daily/chkrootkit: The following suspicious files and directories were found: /lib/init/rw/.ramfs

This is a bug in initscripts, which puts a hidden file in /lib/init/rw but shouldn’t. Until it is fixed, you can patch chkrootkit to get rid of that message.

Update: Apparently, chkrootkit also stumbles on /lib/init/rw/.mdadm. Adapt the patch as needed.

What’s my brother up to?

“We returned to Stacy’s house for our fall retreat 2006, where we rehearsed some of our repertoire in a wine cave to hear an acoustic similar to that of Hearst Mining on the Cal campus. While there, we practiced one of our favorite pieces, Josef Rheinberger’s Abendlied”

Comment utiliser les scripts QoS de nbd sur OpenWRT avec le multiposte RTSP de la freebox

Guillaume Rischard — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 00:41:19 +0000

Ceci est ici comme référence pour google.

Il existe des scripts de QoS bien utiles pour OpenWRT. Malheureusement, le multiposte de la freebox est complètement kaput quand ils sont activés. La solution bio, douce et délicate à ce problème est de rajouter une commande à /etc/init.d/S50qos pour que ça ressemble à ça:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/lib/qos.sh firewall | sh

#Don't QoS traffic coming from the freebox
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING 1 -s 212.27.38.253 -j ACCEPT

iPod nano in stockings

Adeline received an iPod nano for her birthday and was afraid of scratching it. Unfortunately, the stores and shops in Strasbourg don’t have any cases or socks for nano yet. This is what we came up with instead. The buttons and wheel work fine and the screen is readable, which you unfortunately can’t see on the low-res pictures I took with my phone. I think it beats any iPod socks :).

You might have heard about the IDN spoof thing that has been going around. In short, because of a big company called verisign messing up, you can register domain names that look like other domain names. So to make fun of them, I registered Veriѕign.com and put up a parody of the website of NeuStar, one of Verisign’s competitors. All this was supposed to stay under wraps until Monday, to give Verisign time to react. Now Joi, ICANN’s gossip queen, sent this around and word got out. Sorry verisign, I intended to give you more time to react.

I am flying over to spend the weekend with the lovely sweet Adeline, packing right now and having dinner with the canoe club in two minutes. I’ll write more about this later, including instructions on how to register your own paypal.com or slashdot.org domain.

I am the #87 ISP in Luxembourg

Guillaume Rischard — Sun, 28 Nov 2004 19:43:38 +0000

Amusingly, that’s what FindAnISP tells me. Apparently, I used to be #43 in the top web pages for “Luxemborg” [sic], too. This is something I can tell dates and customers for IT consulting: “I single-handedly built one of the country’s top ISP’s, without even noticing!”

Thanks Frigo!

S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System

Guillaume Rischard — Fri, 05 Nov 2004 19:42:11 +0000

S⁵ is a slide show format based entirely on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. With one file, you can run a complete slide show and have a printer-friendly version as well. The markup used for the slides is very simple, highly semantic, and completely accessible. Anyone with even a smidgen of familiarity with HTML or XHTML can look at the markup and figure out how to adapt it to their particular needs. Anyone familiar with CSS can create their own slide show theme. It’s totally simple, and it’s totally standards-driven.

If only my lecturers could use Eric Meyer’s latest toy. That would make the lecture notes far more useful.
