FEDORA-2011-2890

QLogic has new firmware updates out for their ql2400 and ql2500 devices, version 5.03.16!
They still won’t tell me (or anyone) what this update does, much less share the code. So, without further ado, here is my top ten list of things I think are hidden in the 5.03.16 firmware update:
- Jimmy Hoffa
- Copies of the ET Atari 2600 video game.
- Snakes. Lots and lots of snakes.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- Stuxnet
- Duke Nukem Forever
- Styrofoam Packing Peanuts
- Vermeer’s “The Concert”
- Charlie Sheen
- The Holy Grail
Feel free to email all complaints and bugs to support@qlogic.com. While you’re at it, feel free to ask them why they are afraid to show the code for their device firmware to anyone.
For more information about this update please visit this website:

10. Jimmy Hoffa 9. Copies of the ET Atari 2600 video game. 8. Snakes. Lots and lots of snakes. 7. High Fructose Corn Syrup 6. Stuxnet 5. Duke Nukem Forever 4. Styrofoam Packing Peanuts 3. Vermeer’s “The Concert” 2. Charlie Sheen 1. The Holy Grail
Ubuntu/Apache2/AWSTATS Browser/OS Data Missing
by dervish on Feb.22, 2011, under Linux
Edit awstats.*.conf in /etc/awstats and verify LogFormat equals 1, and not 4.
# Examples for Apache combined logs (following two examples are equivalent):
# LogFormat = 1
# LogFormat = “%host %other %logname %time1 %methodurl %code %bytesd %refererquot %uaquot”
#
# Example for IIS:
# LogFormat = 2
#
LogFormat=1
To regenerate information, rm *domain* from /var/lib/awstats. AWSTATS will then recreate all data in the access logs the next time the web forms are created.

#!/bin/bash
# randomize website youtube videos created by Jamey Hopkins
# site then uses PHP to display the selected video on the site
# 20100427 jah - youtuberand.sh -> yt2.sh
# conversion to 0 byte file use
# cut out email
# 20100527 jah - create a .selected file for reference
# 20110214 jah - use /bin/bash since ubuntu uses dash for sh which is not compat. w/ FILE=($FILES)
#
# NOTE: use vid.1.yt2, vid.same.yt, etc, to specify the same video more than once (increase odds)
# move *.yt to *.yt.off (or some other extension) to disable selection

echo
cd /root/Scripts/yt2.cm

Which application is using a Linux network port?
by dervish on Feb.01, 2011, under Linux, Networking
Use: netstat -tlnp | grep port
Example using netstat:
[root@trioxin2 jhopkins]# netstat -tlnp | grep 80
tcp 0 0 :::80 :::* LISTEN 4246/httpd
The above example reveals that the httpd process with a PID of 4246 is running on port 80.
To verify, you can run the ps command and grep for the application name or PID:
[root@trioxin2 jhopkins]# ps -ef | grep 4246
root 4246 1 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 4249 4246 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 4250 4246 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 4251 4246 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 4252 4246 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 4253 4246 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 4254 4246 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 4255 4246 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache 4256 4246 0 13:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd
Example using fuser:
# fuser 80/tcp
80/tcp: 3130 7057 11956 11957 11958 26771 26801 30170 32433 32434 32766
# ps -ef | grep 3130
root 3130 1 0 Mar02 ? 00:01:19 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
