When it Rains, it Pours
No, I’m not talking about Hurricane Isabel. Yesterday, it was OpenSSH. Today, it’s Sendmail.
Now, I have things pretty automated: download the distribution, check the PGP signature, unpack, configure, compile and install — all scripted. Should be a breeze.
But nooo! This time I discover that Sendmail won’t compile with the, recently installed, Apple DevTools Update (gcc 3.3).
So I added
define(`confCC', `gcc2 -traditional-cpp -pipe ${Extra_CC_Flags}')
to my site.config.m4 file — switching the compiler to gcc2 — and it compiled just fine. Whew!
Now all I need, to round out my week, is a security hole in Apache 2.0.47.
Update (9/22/2003): MacOSX 10.2.8 was just released, which deals with various security issues , including this one and the OpenSSH issue mentioned previously. And it “only” took a week!
