I wonder if this has any relation to the recent proxy server issues that some people have been having or if it is completely unrelated. Are you sure it wasn't wiki.squeak.org? Ken

Hacked?
by Michael Rueger 12 Jan '07

12 Jan '07

Hi all, when going to the squeakfoundation server Kasperski pops up with Instrusion.Generic.format-string.exploit warning. This is reproducable. Any way to check, if something on the server got hacked? Or simply a hacked .png or so? Michael

Unlimited transfer at hetzner
by Marcus Denker 08 Jan '07

08 Jan '07

Hi, I only realised some days ago that Hetzner changed the traffic policy since a while: http://www.hetzner.de/rootserver_en.html Traffic Usage is for free. We will restrict the connection speed to 10 MBit/s if 1000 GB/month are exceeded. You can request an activation for 250 GB at a time free of charge in your Hetzner administration interface. This means we can put with no problem stuff like the CD image and the Squeak/Smalltalk Videos on ftp.squeak.org. Marcus

Dead mailing list subscriber processing policy
by Ken Causey 05 Jan '07

05 Jan '07

For some time now the standard backlog of qmail requests on the server has been increasing (it seems to average 2500-3000 or so currently) and I suspect that at least some portion of this is related to mailing list subscribers whose addresses no longer work. For some time now most mailing list notices have been going to this mailing list (I've never yet figured out why) and I've simply been deleting them from the moderation queue rather than have everyone flooded by them. But really the ones that are due to dead subscribers should be handled at some point. I'm really not sure who or how this has been processed in the past and I'm wondering if anyone knows or has an opinion on a policy for this. For example do I drop someone on the first bounce that seems to indicate something that won't be quickly fixed? Do I wait for response X or period of time Y? What about weeks and weeks of transient problems like full mailbox? I think you get the idea. Of course I also cannot handle these myself (for the most part) since I handed off overall mailing list admin duties to Marcus. So somehow he and I will need to work out an interface for this. Ken

Box-Admins Team Report for December, 2006
by Ken Causey 04 Jan '07

04 Jan '07

The box-admins team is reponsible for seeing that the community shared server is maintained and setting up any new features to be hosted on that server. For December 2006: The biggest news of the month is that thanks to Jochen Rick the Squeak Wiki is now hosted on the community server. Thanks Jochen! In other news I investigated reports of double message traffic which appears to be the result of some sort of gray-listing attempt gone wrong. I want to thank the community for the monetary support needed to fund the box and remind them that the bills continue to appear and that you can currently contribute to the hosting bills by going to http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/ and clicking on the 'donate' button at the top right. Note that a donation here may be used for other Squeak Foundation services including but not limited to development, development infrastructure, and promotion of Squeak. The services being hosted have continued to grow and include (but are not limited to): http://www.squeak.org/ SqueakMap - http://map.squeak.org/ http://ftp.squeak.org/ http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/ http://discuss.squeakfoundation.org/ http://source.squeakfoundation.org/ http://map.squeak.org/ https://svn.squeak.org/ http://update.squeakfoundation.org/ http://wiki.squeak.org/ and DNS services for squeak.org and squeakfoundation.org domain names.
