The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

RE: Security bugfix for Samba (fwd)



Since I do have severe time constraints myself I would prefer to give
away sambades, too. Eloy, how's you're time situation? 

Andrew, here's my todo list for a samba package. What do you think?

1) Add a /etc/init.d startup script. IMO file servers should be run as
daemons.
2) Add /etc/lmhosts as config file.
3) Make both packages from the same source tree. Since the only
difference are some flags in the Makefile that shouldn't be a problem.
Also when I try to compile and link samba with DES on my system I get a
binary dynamically linked against libcrypto (from SSLeay). Since the
library is not included there shouldn't be a problem uploading this
package to the US based master site.

However, what I'd like most is one package configurable to do DES or to
not do DES. But that would mean creating a dummy crypto library for
those who can't use the correct one.

Michael

P.S.: The non-maintainer upload fixed several bugs. Do we have to close
them? In particular 13388 and 8282 got fixed by simply using a new
upstream version.
