Sep. 19th, 2011 01:26 pmTrinity College Dublin says it is taking seriously an incident in which a profile page, complete with image, was inserted on its website for a fake staff member named “Dr Conan T Barbarian”.
His full title and academic qualifications were given as: “Dr Conan T Barbarian, BA (Cimmeria) PhD. (UCD). FTCD (Long Room Hub Associate Professor in Hyborian Studies and Tyrant Slaying).”
The profile went on to say Dr Barbarian completed his PhD, entitled “To Hear The Lamentation of Their Women: Constructions of Masculinity in Contemporary Zamoran Literature” at UCD and was appointed to the school of English in 2006, “after successfully decapitating his predecessor during a bloody battle which will long be remembered in legend and song”.

Unfuckingbelievable.
Sep. 19th, 2011 02:51 pmI hate computers.
Running an IDS. Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server machine, two NICs, set up with one "normal" NIC and one promiscuous NIC for packet sniffing, attached to a port-mirrored switch so it sees all the traffic(tm).
Problem: As soon as eth1 is "up", the machine drops my console session. It disconnects me. I can reconnect, and I've got between 2 and 15 seconds to get logged in and get out a "sudo ifconfig eth1 down" and the password before I get dropped again. If I beat the clock and drop eth1, I'm fine until I restart it.
What the hell could be causing this? I WAS getting log messages about a duplicate IPv6 address on the network, so I disabled IPv6 completely.
Difficulty: The machine's in another country, and the only on-site person can be most generously described as "non-technical", and perhaps more accurately described as doesn't read or follow instructions or answer questions.
EDIT oh holy crap what are both NICs showing the obviously-fake MAC address "HWaddr aa:00:04:00:0a:04"? Won't that pretty much cause this EXACT thing? And how the fuck can I fix that shit?
EDIT2: "List of interfaces to set MAC address to DECNet node address: All" Fucking DECNet, what the living FUCK is that doing in a fresh Ubuntu 10 install?4
EDITLAST: Fucking DECNet. Remove that reboot, suddenly I have real MACs, and problem solved.
