We all wonder about the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything. Maybe in october we’ll get it as clear as it can be:

$ echo $((2#$(date -d '10 oct 2010' +"%d%m%y")))
42

Be prepared!

Hi there DNS guys!

On IRC or mailinglists I frequently see people not understanding the idea and concepts behind glue records. Many have no clue about it. It’s always the same, some people don’t get it and thus make their sites unavailable – when you explain it, they don’t understand.

Hence, I suggest a name change, just name them

The clue records

Hi folks,

I have a small LDAP setup running for centralized Linux authentication since years, using the NSS and PAM modules from PADL Software Pty Ltd.

A few weeks ago I found the nss-pam-ldapd from Arthur de Jong and found the architecture is promising and fixes some problems with the design of the PADL modules.

This project needs contributors, so if you

• have time
• know some C
• like LDAP
• have ideas
• can test

it would be nice to see you there.

I also contributed a line or two.
