Good afternoon to everyone, I hope the end of the week is going well.
Hurderos 0.1.1 a GPL/OSS identity and services authorization
management solution was released on Friday, July 30th. Source and
patches are at the following location:
ftp://ftp.hurderos.org/pub/Hurderos/src
With this release binary distributions in RPM and tar format are
available as well at the following location:
ftp://ftp.hurderos.org/pub/Hurderos/binaries
There have been a series of updates to the web-site as well. Of most
interest may be screenshots of the graphical user interface. This can
be found at:
http://www.hurderos.org
The most significant changes have been to the build and install
process. The most notable change being with respect to the Kerberos
internal headers needed by the service provisioning plug-in.
Sam and the boys at MIT are cogitating on the best way to deal with
this problem. Until that solution comes forth we have implemented an
abstraction tool which will grovel through a compiled MIT source
distribution and abstract the necessary headers into the Hurderos
source tree.
This has been integrated into the build process so the only
requirement is to plop a 1.2.8 MIT source distribution alongside the
Hurderos source distribution and type ./configure and make in the
Kerberos source tree. Followed by make in the Hurderos tree of
course.
The goal of the Hurderos Project is to provide a GPL'ed identity
management, SSO and service provisioning solution which is a superset
of the functionality provided by products such as Active Directory and
NDS. It features a novel authorization scheme predicated on the
genetic identity generation model which Hurderos is based.
Please contact us if you are interested in being added to the
low-volume 'Friends of Hurderos' announcement list.
I'm off to the lake, best wishes to everyone else for an equally
enjoyable weekend.
As always,
GW

Subject: Bogofilter-0.92.4 - new stable release
Bogofilter is a mail filter that classifies email as spam or ham
(non-spam) by a statistical analysis of the message's header and content
(body). The program is able to learn from the user's classifications
and corrections.
The statistical technique is known as the Bayesian technique and its use
for spam was described by Paul Graham in his article "A Plan For Spam".
Gary Robinson, in his weblog Rants, suggests some refinements for
improved discrimination between spam and ham. Bogofilter's primary
algorithm uses the f(w) parameter and the Fisher inverse chi-square
technique that he describes.
Bogofilter is run by an MDA script to classify an incoming message as
spam or ham (using wordlists stored by BerkeleyDB). Bogofilter provides
processing for plain text and html, supports multi-part mime message
with decoding of base64, quoted-printable, and uuencoded text and
ignores attachments, such as images.
Bogofilter is written in C. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD,
Solaris, OS X, HP-UX, AIX, RISC-OS, OS/2, ...
******* ******* ******* ******* *******
Bogofilter-0.92.4 has been been promoted from "current" status to
"stable" status. Since the last stable release there have been
documentation updates and minor enhancements and bug fixes.
The files are available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bogofilter
for download.

BOGOFILTER NEWS
=================
0.92.4 2004-07-29
* Warn on invalid options, rather than exit.
0.92.3 2004-07-27
* Revise enums and regression tests for new format characters
%A, %I, %Q.
* Strip bogogrep_static executable to reduce binary rpm size.
* Remove initialize() function in bogoconfig.c and use
lexer_init() in lexer.c, which provides same functionality.
0.92.2 2004-07-11
* Use an explicit inputs/outputs directory list to avoid shipping test
files in those directories.
* Miscellaneous cleanups, removed 'degen' code remainders.
* Formatting character changes:
'%A' is now the message's IP address.
'%I' is now the Message-ID.
'%Q' is now the Queue-ID.
* bogofilter-faq.html:
corrected editting error that deleted "asian spam" question
added answer to "multi-user" question.
* Fix self-test suite ("make check") when bogofilter is compiled
with QDBM or TDB as the data base engine.
* Remove obsolete '-f' from t.valgrind, too.
0.92.1 2004-07-01
* Remove 'g', 'r', and 'f' from bogofilter's OPTIONS list as
there's only one scoring algorithm.
* Removed obsolete occurrences of '-g' and '-f' from
regression tests.
* Revised README file.
* French version of FAQ updated.
* Rewrote code for identifying message's originating IP address.
* Changed name of variable 'ipaddr' to 'msgaddr'.
* Added t.msgaddr to regression test.
* Fixed db_init/db_cleanup problems encountered with multiple
wordlists and concurrent data stores.
0.92.0 2004-06-26 - Stable Release
* Fixed problem recognizing empty line ending of header in
files with CRLFs and X-Bogosity line as last header line.
* Added ESF options to bogofilter's and man page.
* Revised man pages' description of multi-parameter options.
* t.lock3 regression modified for solaris shell compatibility.
0.91.4 2004-06-20
* Fix abort during db_open (ds_open wasn't first calling
ds_init).
* Added regression test t.lock3 for this fix.
* Revise datastore and database levels so that each level
calls its own init() and cleanup() routines.
0.91.3 2004-06-15
* Added format specification '%I' to allow logging of the IP
address from which an email was received.
* Avoid "Invalid buffer size, exiting." problems by discarding
text from an excessively long html tag.

* FAQ updated with info on multiple wordlists and ignore
lists.
* FAQ updated with info on building as non-root user.
* Bogofilter's creation of new wordlists now includes
.WORDLIST_VERSION token.
* Fix erroneous double opening of wordlists specified on
command line.
* Corrected tests so that "make check" passes with qdbm and
tdb.
* Fix included GSL compile for compilers that do not support
"extern inline", such as Compaq C V6.3.
0.91.1 2004-06-04
* Use named constants for wordlist 'type' attribute to
distinguish open modes of READ, WRITE, and CREATE so
bogofilter will include .WORDLIST_VERSION in new database.
* Add DS_LOAD flag so bogoutil won't add .WORDLIST_VERSION
* Modify regression tests to use bogoutil to create empty
wordlists (as needed).
* Fixed registration. When multiple wordlists are specified,
registration is to first regular wordlist.
