bind 8.3 apparently parses differently, much to the annoyance of Mark and
I.
Mark woke me up
this morning, well, afternoon, with a problem. He upgraded to bind
8.2.3 in the wake of the recent advisory and it was failing to load his
zone files. “It's dying in the parser,” he said. “It doesn't like the
comments!”
We hashed it out for a few minutes when it hit me. “Mark, for your
SOA records, do you have the opening parenthesis on its own
line?”
“Yes,” Mark said.
“Yea, I thought so.” I do the same thing. “Just humor me. Put it at the
end of the line.” I won't repeat the litany of swearing he did when that
worked. Mark then signed off, having to upgrade his zone files.
Gee, such a nice gratuitous change there guys.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
