<p>00:08 < {Due}> oka
<p>00:09 <@nop> ok
<p>00:09 <@nop> 3) Security Advisory
<p>00:09 <@nop> accidentally came upon some weaknesses in Adelphia's PowerLink Network that is crucial to privacy
<p>00:09 <@nop> so I felt the need to send them an advisory
<p>00:09 <@nop> and post it to iip-dev list
<p>00:09 < Debrys> Due: http://www.invisiblenet.net/iip/aboutMain.php take a look at this page....... and also the interview and docs....... most of the things you're asking yourself get answered there :) they're really no nonsense page..... pure info and straight to the point
<p>00:10 <@nop> anyway
<p>00:10 <@nop> if any users use adelphia
<p>00:10 * {Due} reading ;)
<p>00:10 <@nop> that is the reason I posted it
<p>00:10 <@nop> for the benefit of our users
<p>00:10 <@nop> as they host 5.5 million customers
<p>00:10 <@nop> so we might have a few
<p>00:11 <@nop> hopefully they will adhere to the advisory and fix it
<p>00:11 <@nop> if not
<p>00:11 <@nop> it will be publicized 30 days from the date
<p>00:11 <@nop> which will apply a bit of pressure to fix the problem
<p>00:11 <@nop> moving on
<p>00:11 <@nop> Connection issue
<p>00:11 <@nop> with the upgrade
<p>00:11 <@nop> a lot of people probably have been shutting off their previous rc2 relay
<p>00:11 <@nop> and turning on rc3
<p>00:12 <@nop> this probably will happen over a span of a couple weeks
<p>00:12 <@nop> most people aren't consistant with keeping track of upgrade day
<p>00:12 <@nop> also
<p>00:12 <@nop> there were a few times this past week that the colocation facility of the ircd server had some network maintenance
<p>00:12 <@nop> this caused a few hiccups
<p>00:12 <@nop> and it may have beend difficult to get on
<p>00:12 <@nop> this is over
<p>00:13 <@nop> and it should be pretty clean (other than relays dropping from time to time)
<p>00:13 < jeremiah_> will a relay notify the admin when it should be updated?
<p>00:13 <@nop> as in the IIP software notify?
<p>00:13 <@mids> currently, no
<p>00:13 <@nop> the relay admin?
<p>00:13 <@nop> that should be optional
<p>00:13 <@nop> for debatable anonymity reasons
<p>00:13 < jeremiah_> yeah, but it isn't an option right now, correct?
<p>00:13 <@codeshark> nop: maybe a simple version check would help
<p>00:13 <@nop> correct it is not
<p>00:14 <@nop> definitely an option that could appear in 1.1
<p>00:14 <@nop> stable
<p>00:14 <@nop> but I can't promise that
<p>00:14 <@nop> as we want to keep changes to a minimum
<p>00:14 < jeremiah_> ok
<p>00:14 <@mids> I suggest we dont put it in
<p>00:14 <@mids> only fix bugs
<p>00:14 <@nop> as well do I for this version
<p>00:14 <@codeshark> yes, no new features
<p>00:15 <@hezekiah> I agree.
<p>00:15 <@nop> ok
<p>00:15 <@mids> are there any bug reports yet?
<p>00:15 <@nop> I know that codeshark had one
<p>00:24 <@hezekiah> What if you just submit the email to iip-dev?
<p>00:24 <@nop> ok
<p>00:24 < Rav-> can i make a suggestion
<p>00:24 < Rav-> for the node.ref etc files
<p>00:24 <@nop> there are aspects that can be fully utilized from tarzan
<p>00:24 < Neo> nop: thanks
<p>00:24 < Rav-> store them in user home directories
<p>00:24 <@hezekiah> That would be nice.
<p>00:25 < Rav-> so its easier to secure a proxy
<p>00:25 < Rav-> and have it update noninteractively
<p>00:27 < Debrys> ahem:....... it would be nice if i could use IIP withouth installation and copied file....... i.e. copy the files on a disk......... go to someone with a pc and irc-client........ run IIP from disk withouth any files copied to the hard-disk....... so i would be thankfull if this user-home-dirs thingie would be an option
<p>00:29 <@mids> currently it _should_ look in several places
<p>00:29 <@mids> current directory, homedir
<p>00:29 <@mids> and system wide directory
<p>00:29 <@mids> I dont remember in what order that happens
<p>00:29 < jeremiah_> it would also good to be able to run the system from memory w/o config files so someoen could use it and then delete it easily (not sure how possible this is right now)
<p>00:29 < Debrys> okay, thanks for the info mids
<p>00:30 <@nop> knoppix
<p>00:30 <@nop> www.knoppix.net
<p>00:30 <@mids> Debrys: but codeshark just reported a bug on that, so it might not work :)
<p>00:30 <@codeshark> Debrys: yes, there's a problem with this feature
<p>00:30 <@codeshark> some files are stored in local directory
<p>00:30 < xcasex> jeremiah_: just mount a portion of ram to the filesystem D:
<p>00:30 < xcasex> :D
<p>00:30 < Debrys> well, i'm okay if i know it will work in the future :)
<p>00:31 < Debrys> its just a possibility i would miss if it would be discarded in future development
<p>00:31 < Rav-> from memory only the node.ref file needs to be local.. is that right?
<p>00:32 <@nop> 7and listen.ref
<p>00:32 <@nop> and
<p>00:32 < Debrys> cs: local dir is okay....... because the local dir would be the diskette?
<p>00:32 <@nop> and isproxy.ini
<p>00:32 < Rav-> yeah thats right
<p>00:32 < Rav-> 3 files
<p>00:32 <@nop> although
<p>00:32 < Debrys> the only problem would be if its run from a cd........ but thats okay to me
<p>00:32 <@mids> you can specify the file location if you run isproxy
<p>00:32 <@mids> try: isproxy -h
<p>00:32 <@mids> if will give an overview of options
<p>00:35 < Rav-> wouldnt be anonymous i guess
<p>00:36 <@mids> Rav-: the server could send a control message
<p>00:36 < Rav-> okay
<p>00:36 <@mids> atually it already sends the version I think
<p>00:36 <@mids> but then again
<p>00:36 <@mids> if I run a public relay
<p>00:37 <@mids> what should the relay do if it sees that it is too old?
<p>00:37 < Rav-> you could include it in node.ref
<p>00:37 < Rav-> dunno
<p>00:37 < jeremiah_> it could be given the option of emailing the admin
<p>00:37 < jeremiah_> or anonymail
<p>00:37 <@mids> yeah maybe
<p>00:37 < Debrys> what if clients get to know about a new version from other clients..... not the server? this could also work in a decentralized network........ since if update notification is server dependant it wouldn't work when IIP goes decentralized?
<p>00:38 < Rav-> yeah thats why i was thinking node.ref
<p>00:38 <@mids> I dont think it is possible to do it in a decentralized environment
<p>00:38 <@mids> unless you sign those messages by the IIP development team
<p>00:38 <@mids> since otherwise it would be too easy to send fake messages
<p>00:38 < hezekiah> Right
<p>00:39 < Debrys> thats true
<p>00:39 < Rav-> hmm
<p>00:39 <@mids> actually
<p>00:39 <@mids> once it is fully distributed
<p>00:39 <@mids> it could well be that there are multiple version
<p>00:39 < Debrys> but would it be THAT evil if a fake "new version" message is received? except of being annoying?
<p>00:39 <@mids> +s
<p>00:39 <@mids> and clones etc
<p>00:40 <@mids> Debrys: it would be easy to do, and make it not useful anymore
<p>00:40 < Rav-> that should be a good case for update notification
<p>00:40 < Debrys> okay
<p>00:40 <@mids> what would be better is the admins subscribing to the IIP development mailinglist
<p>00:40 < Rav-> dont know how you would dist the message
<p>00:40 <@mids> :)
<p>00:40 <@mids> maybe we should make other mailinglists in the future
<p>00:40 <@mids> like iip-announce
<p>00:41 < xcasex> dont forget the-iip-133+3
<p>00:41 * jeremiah_ has to go
<p>00:41 < jeremiah_> bye
<p>00:41 < jeremiah_> will login later
<p>00:41 < Rav-> when you say distributed, do you mean as part of a decentralised iip network or do you mean you are releasing the server daemon for use on other networks
