De rampweek van XS4ALL

Was het eerder deze week de grote DSL (ATM) storing van het KPN (Bitstream) netwerk, zo hebben ze net aan het eind van de week alle abonnees een feestelijke mailing toegestuurd waarbij de abonnees oa. een T-Shirt kunnen aanvragen met een code die bovenaan het adresveld vermeld staat.

Net als ik zijn er honderden, zo niet duizenden abonnees (ik ben al jaren lid sinds het UUCP tijdperk) weer de dupe dat deze ‘unieke’ code niet zo uniek blijkt te zijn als dat het zou moeten.

XS4ALL, vertellen dat elk lid een leuk kadoo krijgt en je met deze ongein opzadelen is niet leuk!

We added/modified support for users and groups. The following does apply:

under samba, user can see “ALL” folders which he has the right to access.
under ftp, user only can see “the last mentioned” folder which he has the right to access.

  • Workgroup can support any characters following the MS rule
  • The UPnP Server is supporting new additional formats like: FLAC, IFO, ISO, MKV, M2TS, VC1, DIVX, AAC, M4A, SUB, APE, FLV, DV.

Please test and send me updates about the instant update of the UPnP Database, there is no refresh or crontab anymore as content is instantly updated. But I need feedback if this is working properly.

  • Email alerts are now sent with valid hostname. Some SMTP servers did not accept the e-mails as a not valid hostname was sent.
  • Add support for RFC3834; the e-mail New mail header “Auto-Submitted: auto-generated” is added to the message header.
  • Add new function : clear printf queue, available at the menu optin Status -> Print Info
  • Fixing DNS name of NTP server like: 1.conceptronic.pool.ntp.org” it was wrongly treated as IP string
