Re: IPv6 Support in Owl

Simon,

I've included your patch into iputils-ss020927-owl7.  Thank you!  We'll
need to update the package to a new upstream version later.

This is good to know.

Thanks again,

Alexander

I've just made the above rename official - that is, we will be using
all-lowercase "owl" in our OpenVZ template filenames such that vzctl
uses owl.conf for them by default.

If anyone is curious, this works due to partial template name matching
implemented in vzctl-3.0.23/src/lib/dist.c: get_dist_conf_name().
With owl-current-20091129-x86_64, it will look for
owl-current-20091129-x86_64.conf, owl-current-20091129.conf,
owl-current.conf, and finally owl.conf - in that order.

I am not aware of a mailing list engine I would fully recommend, but of
those I've seen ezmlm-idx is a good choice, in my opinion.  The other
popular alternative is Mailman, but I dislike that one for a variety of
reasons.

http://www.ezmlm.org

ezmlm-idx was designed to work along with qmail, which is a drawback
these days.  Yet installing netqmail would probably be the easiest way
to get ezmlm-idx working:

http://www.qmail.org/netqmail/

You could install these, say, to /opt/ezmlm-idx/VERSION and
/opt/netqmail/VERSION (substituting the current version numbers for
VERSION), then create "current" symlinks under /opt/ezmlm-idx and
/opt/netqmail, and maybe create some symlinks under /usr/local/bin.
This is the approach we're using for installs of locally-built software.

If you can dedicate more time to this, you could want to try getting
ezmlm-idx to work with Postfix.  Apparently, some people got it working:

The Postfix qmqpd(8) man page refers to:

new Owl ISOs, OpenVZ container templates

Hi,

Fresh ISO images and pre-created OpenVZ container templates of
Owl-current for x86 and x86-64 (generated a few hours ago) are available
on our FTP mirrors (maybe not on all yet, but should be by tomorrow).
There are also direct download links for the ISOs on the Owl homepage:

http://www.openwall.com/Owl/

Yes, we're now generating not only ISOs, but also OpenVZ container
templates of the Owl userland.  These may be used on Owl and/or on other
Linux systems with OpenVZ.  The templates are found under
/pub/Owl/current/vztemplate on our FTP mirrors.  The size of an Owl
template file is around 120 MB, and a container instantiated from it
occupies around 400 MB of disk space.  This compares favorably with
pre-created templates of other Linux distros found on openvz.org
considering that our template is actually an almost-complete install of
the Owl userland, including all development tools and libraries, so it
is capable of (re)building our and third-party packages from source.

The "make vztemplate" target has been added to the Owl build
environment, making it easy for us and for Owl users to generate new
OpenVZ container templates of the Owl userland.

The 32-bit x86 userland is now being built for "i686" (Pentium Pro and
above) by default.  With the previous ISO snapshot for 32-bit x86, we
made this move for the kernel.  Now we also made it for the userland.

The packages of JtR, Nmap, and pciutils have been updated to new
versions (yes, this means Nmap 5.21, which was released yesterday),
