This blog + imap security change

January 6th, 2006

Greetings.

This morning i noticed that we had an unsecured imap daemon listening on a publically accessible port. This has now been fixed so that it only listens on localhost (this is needed to allow the webmail clients to work). I don’t think this will affect anyone as no-one should have been using it anyway, but if it does, then now you know why ,-)

Also, i’ve just figured out how to get proper author attribution for posts on this blog. ‘Users’ -> ‘Authors & Users’ -> ‘Add user’. I typed in ‘diamond’, and it’s grabbed my existing blogs.nonado.net account, so all i have to do is select ‘diamond’ from the ‘post author’ options on the ‘write post page’ and all should be good. This counts as a test entry for that -)

*Update*

Damn. The username shows up fine in the blog admin pages, it doesn’t show at all on the actual blog, which is, well, useless.

– diamond
