Recently I started using SmartSVN running remotely on a Solaris 10 server and displaying on my Windows XP machine via Xming (the free Xserver). I quickly ran into some performance and usability issues which I hope to have solved.
Someone currently building an internal development environment required some integration between servers using SSH and the webservd user.
He came to me when he saw that the default home directory for the webservd user is /. He didn't want to create a /.ssh/authorized_keys file and I didn't blame him. My first reaction was to change the home directory but I didn't want to break something so I opened up Google and found something incredible.
DISCLAIMER: The following is quoted from documentation at docs.sun.com (emphasis is mine). I do not recommend you actually listen to it's instructions:
Cisco ASDM recently started giving me the following error: unconnected sockets not implemented.
After checking around, it seems that this is a known issue with newer Java releases, specifically the current version seems to require JRE 1.6u7.
Downgrading is an option but it is unnecessary.
This post isn't going to solve anyone's problems but maybe someone will solve mine. I recently compiled and packaged a new release of php4 (4.4.7) for use with Sun's Apache2 (Solaris 10 11/06 patched). Unfortunately for some very strange reason, Apache segfaults whenever it tries to server a page. It segfaults even if the page has no php involved and only if the php module is loaded.
