qmail vpopmail smtpd auth ssl on freebsd

This assumes you have the qmail port (/usr/ports/mail/qmail) installed with the SMTP_AUTH_PATCH option set. If not go back rebuild and reinstall the port, it wont disturb any of your config files. Some version of openssl would be helpful too.

In this example im also using self signed certificates, later on i might post a howto generate your own ca and certs. This server will only accept ssl connections on port 465.

Now install ucspi-ssl-tls (/usr/ports/sysutils/ucspi-ssl-tls) then ca_root_nss (/usr/ports/security/ca_root_nss).

Android OpenVPN HTC Evo (Supersonic)

I started with CyanogenMod nice rom, openvpn works out of the box however on the evo theres no 4g, FM, hdmi, and the voicemail notification is messed up.

Heres how I made OpenVPN work...
Obviously you must have root to do this. You will probably want to put all this stuff on your sd card first.

StarCraft II.. Meh

No! I'm not buying it for the following reasons.

1. Price. $60
2. This game isn't complete you have to buy 2 more expansion sets so $180 total.
3. No LAN play. Sorry but the internet doesn't revolve around battle.net
4. No single player without internet connectivity.
5. One key one account.

How long until the monthly fee like wow? I'll wait until it hits the $5 bin.

asterisk freebie callerid

dont want to pay for cnam callerid lookups? try callerid_shell.agi. this script queries google, whitepages, 411, anywho and finally nanpa, then caches the results in a sqlite database. the script is a little old so remember to swap ${CALLERIDNUM} for ${CALLERID(num)} in newer asterisk versions otherwise you'll see some stuff like this.

Office 2007 to Office 2003

I recently noticed that people sending me doc files without the compatibility mode set in Office 2007 wouldn't open in Office 2003 and give you the File Conversion dialog with a bunch of non-viewable characters. Despite installing the compatibility pack and the compatibility service pack 1.

Google Earth kmz files

Google earth has two typical file types .kml and .kmz
We can use an application like GPSBabel to convert .kml into nearly any format. However .kmz isn't recognised by this application so you have to load your .kmz up in google earth then save the 'Places' into a .kml file which you can load into mapsource or any other format.

Airlink 101 Bluetooth 2.0 USB Adapter ABT-U200

Picked one of these up for $6 at the local computer store. Apparently there's no driver for windows xp x64 for this device listed on the manufactures site. However the Vista 64bit driver works. The path on the cd is \Utility\Vista\Win64\brcm

compat6x

Running freebsd 7.x noticing problems with /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 ?
Maybe something like these?
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libwrap.so.4" not found, required by ...
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgd.so.4" not found
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.6" not found
Trying installing the compat6x port:
# cd /usr/ports/misc/compat6x
# make install clean

yes its a crutch, the real solution is to recompile everything.. however sometimes you just need stuff to work...
