how to fix vcron/vixie-cron issues

Filed under: Linux — Hoosier @ 4:23 pm

gentoo decided to rename the package for vixie cron from vcron to vixie-cron. If you had this happen in the middle of a bunch of upgrades, you missed the info on how to fix it. So I don’t lose this link again:

emerge unmerge vcron
emerge vixie-cron
rm /etc/init.d/vcron
depscan.sh
rc-update del vcron
rc-update del vixie-cron
rc-update add vixie-cron default

imminent threat

Filed under: Politics — Hoosier @ 10:59 am

So, Rummie finally got caught in a lie.

“No terror state poses a greater or more immediate threat to the security of our people and the stability of the world than the regime of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.”
– Donald Rumsfeld, September 18, 2002

Why is this not ALL OVER THE FUCKING NEWS?

VirusScan Enterprise sucks

Filed under: Housing — Hoosier @ 10:21 am

Well, I guess I shouldn’t really fault VirusScan, this is more of a Microsoft Installer issue than anything.
A little background: We run the campus site licensed VirusScan Enterprise on all our lab machines (and all of the admin machines as well). We started the year with version 7.0, then 7.1 came out. This is when things got wacky.
First, I built a custom install package with Installation Designer that had the same settings as we used before. Some workstations got the settings again, some defaulted back to the defaults (update weekly, Friday 5 pm), and a few even lost the scanner service completely!

spongebob spam?

Filed under: Hoopeston Area — Hoosier @ 9:40 am

Seems that we have been getting lots of hits on www.hoopeston.k12.il.us from hotmail and other mail clients asking for 1 specific spongebob related picture. Seeing as that is wasting our bandwidth for someone elses purposes, I followed the lead of others and replaced the picture:

We’ll see how much mail I get….
