Firewall Rebooted
Rebooted goalkeeper after 66 days of uptime in order to use kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4, which fixes a remotely exploitable bug in ICMP (CVE-2006-0454).

Updated to version 1.5.2 of moin. My package now includes a link to the dictionary from the words package for the spellchecker, so I removed the old link that I made manually and also the cache file.
# service httpd stop # rpm -Uvh moin-1.5.2-1.fc4.noarch.rpm # cd /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/MoinMoin/dict # rm linux.words # cd /var/www/tips/data/cache # rm spellchecker.dict # cd ../.. # rm -rf underlay # cp -r /usr/share/moin/underlay . # chown -R apache:apache underlay # chcon -R -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t underlay # service httpd start
Rebuilding the spellchecker.dict (at the first spellcheck request) took around two and a half hours on my humble Celeron 600MHz. On the server at work, it was rather quicker (well under a minute).
