Either they planned it, or the virus got lucky and used my email address as the envelope sender, which got through mailman. For some bizarre reason, I didn't think of the ability to forge local addresses from a remote account...apparently simple sendmail configurations allow that. Forging email isn't hard, and you can't help but accept most email, but this is something that shouldn't happen in my environment. I've locked down sendmail so that this shouldn't happen again. Sorry for spreading this garbage to all your mailboxes, and please don't open that thing on a windows box...if it isn't a virus, it's probably some other bad/stupid thing.

The major one is the change to the syntax of the *subst config items. If you're using any of them, you'll need to update your config file. Sorry about that, but it's well worth it. Here's the complete list of changes in this release... version 8.1.2 (Mar 11, 2004): - better handling of client command (^Ec|) when user is bumped, conserver is reconfigured, etc - added 'initsubst' option for 'initcmd' substitutions like 'devicesubst' and 'execsubst' - based on patch by Bill Sommerfeld - modified and added to *subst (initsubst, etc) syntax to allow for flexibility and future enhancement - changed 'port' and 'portinc' minimums from 1 to 0 - it allows more flexibility and helps with 0-based counting - removed unportable sys/cdefs.h from contrib/chat/chat.c - patch by Bill Sommerfeld - added --with-extmsgs configure switch to enable entertaining messages - marked various undocumented client commands as depreciated so that they can be removed in a future version - added ability to "move" to a new console via '^Ec;' - suggested by Christopher T. Beers - added a dump of console information when -S is used twice - suggested by Todd Stansell Bryan Stansell From bryan@stansell.org Mon Mar 22 17:23:10 2004 Received: from underdog.stansell.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id i2N1N6SG006961; Mon, 22 Mar 2004 17:23:09 -0800 (PST) Received: (from bryan@localhost) by underdog.stansell.org (8.12.11/8.12.11/Submit) id i2N1N6tp006960; Mon, 22 Mar 2004 17:23:06 -0800 (PST) Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2004 17:23:06 -0800 From: Bryan Stansell To: users@conserver.com, announce@conserver.com Message-ID: <20040323012306.GW5301@underdog.stansell.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.1i X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.39 Cc: Subject: conserver-8.1.3 is available X-BeenThere: announce@conserver.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.4 Precedence: list List-Id: Conserver Announcements List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2004 01:23:12 -0000 Not many changes this time. I've cleaned up some of the allocations in the client and extended the '^Ec;' sequence slightly. I hope you all enjoy it. version 8.1.3 (Mar 22, 2004): - fixed small memory and file descriptor leak in client when using '^Ec;' - '^Ec;' now only disconnects from the previous console only after a successfully move to a new console, allowing you to abort the move - suggested by Christopher T.
