    Some (Dual USB) iBook users are having battery problems with 10.2.4 -- seems 10.2.4 messes up something in the power management so that when running unplugged the machine'll run till some arbitrary level of charge remaining (from 50%-90% of capacity left) and then suddenly go into sleep. Plugging the machine in starts the battery charging from 0%. Here's hoping 10.2.5 addresses that.

        Linksys definitely has a problem if rogue clients can crash their APs, but Mac OS X boxes really do do some weird wifi stuff. Quite often, when my airport card is on, linux users nearby who are on their consoles see a constant stream of kernel messages about "undersized frames". If I turn off my airport, it stops. I've seen a few macs do this, with a few different linux boxes. The common factor between the linux boxes is that they all were running (or had recently been running) in RF_MON mode. In any case, it only happens sometimes, and it's definitely caused by the presence of airport-enabled macs. Quite strange.

        There are a lot of oddities I'm really hoping this update will fix. Among them, the sometimes-forgetting to ask for my encrypted disk password upon waking from sleep: If it doesn't ask, the disk just hangs, and the machine has to be rebooted. I really hope thats fixed. Currently I have to remember to hdiutil detach -force disk1 (or whatever df shows the volume mounted as) before I close the lid, if I don't want to risk crashing.

        I can't seem to find the standalone combo update for download yet. The update is in Software Update, but I usually like to download the 10.2.x combo updater, so I can keep it with my 10.2 disks for later use. Tried guessing links from previous updates, but no luck. Anybody got a link to the combo update yet?

    According to a vulnerability report release by @Stake [atstake.com], this fixes a serious security hole.

    http://www.atstake.com/research/advisories/2003/a0 41003-1.txt [atstake.com]


    Overview:

    DirectoryServices is part of the MacOS X information and authentication subsystem. It is launched at startup, setuid root and installed by default. It is vulnerable to several attacks ultimately allowing a local user to obtain root privileges.


    Details:

    During the startup of DirectoryService, the application creates a lock file by executing the touch(1) UNIX command. It executes touch through the system() libc function. This function is inherently insecure and its use is strongly discouraged in privileged applications.
    Since this call to system() does not specify a full path to the touch(1) command, it is possible for an attacker to modify the PATH environment variable to specify a directory containing her own version of the touch(1) command. In this instance, this would cause DirectoryService to execute arbitrary commands as root.

    In order for an attacker to exploit this vulnerability, they must first cause DirectoryServices to terminate. This can be done by simply connecting to port 625 repeatedly using an automated program.

    There's a new phone on the market called P800 from sonyericsson. It's pretty cool, it does have bluetooth support (as you're aware of since 10.2.4) -but it also has these other applications called Calendar and Messages. You should check these out too. I think these two apps would go great together with iSync.

    I am still hoping for the following fix:

    Mail: Corrects problem in which Mail is REALLY FUCKING SLOW

    I can hope, yes?


  • WINS remains broken. OS X Samba can't browse across a router. At least it not longer has that annoying behavior where you can only browse the WINS server itself.
  • 10.2.5 killed my virtualhosts. It commented stuff out in my httpd.conf without making a backup. I fixed the conf and bounced the daemon, still no dice. It'll host stuff up from the default directory if I surf there via IP, but not by domain name. I checked my DNS box too, everything's just peachy there (linux x86) so it's not a resolving issue.

    This blows. I use vhosts for work.
    • after uncommenting the vhosts modules, bouncing the daemon doesn't do the trick. I rebooted and it's all swell now.

      php, perl, ssl and other mods are commented out by the installer (both load and add). I uncommented php4 before the reboot and it's still not working though, so this might not be a global fix for all non-functioning modules.
