Update: The Debian people created a website with instructions to rollover keys. And there’s also a Perl script for testing SSH servers an other packages for vulnerabilities.

Update 2: Bruce Schneier jumped in. And here is a xkcd cartoon and some source.

Update 3: Here are some useful tips (in German).

AsteriskNow helps a lot when setting up an Asterisk server and is actually a time saver. Just download the ISO image and make a fresh installation, then access Asterisk from within the browser to setup all needed options.

This can be solved by deleting the file extensions.rdf in your account’s firefox profile directory.

The installation worked like a charme and the system installed without any problems.

Before installing the new system I did a backup of my data partition (I had ReiserFS and wanted to try ext3, so I had decided to do a clean install). This is an old Thinkpad A30 and its old USB-1.1 port is very, very, veeeery slow. I remembered my last backup, which was only about 20GB and ran the whole night to finish. That’s simply disappointing.

So I decided to do a network based backup with netcat, easy and simple. At home I have an Windows XP PC and I downloaded a windows compatible netcat. This tools helped me to copy the files from my Linux computer to the Windows box, where they manifested itself as a gzipped tarball. This was much faster!

After the installation I wanted to copy the files back to the fresh Linux box, but had trouble with Windows. Feeding the netcat with a simple cat (I tried cat from Unxutils) I thought would suffice. I was wrong! Cat died after some seconds, my backup tarball was maybe to big (only 15GB).

I decided to give the latest BackTrack a try. You know what? That worked without batting an eyelid. Now I only need to do some cleanup and install some useful tools.

Update: After some years with Gnome desktop I spontanously decided to go with KDE. The first impression is great! I do not really like the default theme… but otherwise KDE rules with this new start menu.

Unter Linux lässt sich die Taste ganz einfach mit xmodmap -e “remove Lock = Caps_Lock” bzw. xmodmap -e “clear Lock” deaktivieren. Für eine permanente Deaktivierung sollte das clear lock aber in der /etc/X11/Xmodmap bzw. ~/.Xmodmap (für bestimmte User) eingetragen werden.

Unter Windows XP verlief die Installation recht unproblematisch, das Tool selbst ist angenehm stabil. Unter SuSE 10.1 war es dann nicht ganz so leicht aber dennoch zu bewältigen. Die Installation führte ich wie beschrieben durch. Beim Start gab es dann aber ein Problem mit Firefox, das ich durch die Installation des Mozilla-Browsers löste.

Aptana unterstützt außerdem von sich aus einige der gängigsten Javascript-Libraries, wie Mochikit, Dojo, Prototype, script.aculo.us und andere.

Feine Sache!

@Markus: Sollten wir das nicht Bernhard sagen? Der plagt sich so mit Qooxdoo.

And besides that, it is really easy, download IEs4Linux, start ./ies4linux and after a few minutes of downloading you are there!
