It was a good 2 years and 10 months for me at ConSentry Networks. It seems like the time just flew by.
My kids liked to visit me at work and they would always first make a beeline for the whiteboard. I started keeping a height chart and added Max once he was standing on his own.

Pay no attention to the ConSentry Networks proprietary/confidential information on the whiteboard. 
I had a blog at blogs.sun.com. It still exists, but it appears that they no longer allow ex-employees to edit their blogs.
So I’m setting up this new one. I have a few items that I had posted in other places that I might retroblog here. Maybe I should migrate all the Sun blog entries… I don’t know.
I have installed OpenSolaris (specifically, Solaris Express Community Edition build 91) on my new home server which will consolidate three existing (rather old, noisy, and underpowered) machines.
I am installing Postfix as my mail server software. I created an smf(5) service manifest for postfix so that I can have smf start it. Contrary to the (IMHO misguided) common practice, I install manifests in /lib/svc/manifest/. So I installed the above file as /lib/svc/manifest/network/postfix.xml and used svccfg import to create the svc:/network/smtp:postfix service instance.
[Update: Normally I would have offered this file to the smf community and/or the Postfix author/maintainer, but before I posted this others had already beat me to it.]
Several people have observed a problem on their networks where various web sites, apparently at random, would be replaced by www.myfamily.com. The problem comes and goes without obvious cause, and affects different web sites at different times. I started encountering this problem a few days ago and tracked down the cause.
I clicked on a link to, say, www.imdb.com, and found myself looking at the home page for www.myfamily.com. My browser’s URL bar indicated http://www.imdb.com/ but the contents of the page were obviously not from that site. Read the rest of this entry »
