I'm reading the man page for syslogd
when I come across the
following under the security threats section:
4. Disabling inet domain sockets will limit risk to the local
machine.
5. Use step 4 and if the problem persists and is not secondary to
a rogue program/daemon get a 3.5 ft (approx. 1 meter) length of
sucker rod† and have a chat with the user in question.
†Sucker rod def.—3/4, 7/8 or 1in. hardened steel
rod, male threaded on each end. Primary use in the oil industry in
Western North Dakota and other locations to pump “suck” oil from
oil wells. Secondary uses are for the construction of cattle feed
lots and for dealing with the occasional recalcitrant or belligerent
individual.
That's just darned amusing …
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.
