This year, for my birthday I have a very nice Media Player M3100. This stuff is really usefull, no need to use a noisy computer to watch recorded Divx. It’s pretty kool to watch films from beds you know..

While running my access point in public mode, i want to know when people log in. This can be a good way to find intruders too, but not my purpose.
I decided to run arpwatch on my linksys access point, but this is not so easy ..
1) Mail
First you need to have sendmail on the WRT. [...]

Tcpdump is clearly one of my favorite tool. Here a little example to filter the traffic of my OSPF router.
tcpdump -i eth0 ip[9] == 89
And the result:
12:43:48.219432 IP p2b.soif.fr > OSPF-ALL.MCAST.NET: OSPFv2, Hello (1), length: 48
12:43:48.560817 IP wrt.soif.fr > OSPF-ALL.MCAST.NET: OSPFv2, Hello (1), length: 48
Wonderfull no ? :)

I’m using spambayes for a long time now. But when i decide to install it for all the curent users of my setup (w/ some virtual domains..), i just discover that spambayes don’t have a system-wide deamon like spamassasin (spamd).
So the first try:
install spamassassin :) .. This mail filtering is just a bulshit ! Even [...]

Since i totally switched my mail system to imap, i’m looking for a way to keep the folders ’small as possible’. I talked w/ Phil about this, and he (http://base-art.net/wk/Article/3.html) hacked a existing python script. The main difference between his hack and the orginal one, is that now the folder are archived in a ‘normal’ [...]

I spent part of the day to install a virtual mail server, and i discover that there is a really simple way to secure courier-imap. By defaut when you use this kind of server the auth is made against the standard pam module. This is really simple, but what happend if someone is able to [...]

I get it! I managed to use mutt w/ my imap folders, with hooks and everything fine. This is not really hard, but :
libsas-modules break the SSL certification (without any error message)
mutt really lack of header cache for imap (there is a patch for Maildir but no for imap)
