md5sum on web page is not correct with download from anduin site.

Book says .. Download (HTTP): ​http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/ethereal-0.10.12.tar.bz2 Download (FTP): ​ftp://ftp.ethereal.com/pub/ethereal/all-versions/ethereal-0.10.12.tar.bz2 Download MD5 sum: 372b60e6eca14b7e1cf3e789207027f7

anduin site says: 681080b2d3478b68929db360a13fd975

And that is not the same I guess

The MD5sum listed in the book is correct. Not sure why the one listed on Anduin differs. Downgrading the bug as one can always get the 'official' MD5sum from the Ethereal site: ​http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/all-versions/SIGNATURES-0.10.12.txt

I think also that the files on aduin are corrupt, together with the MD5 sum. The file that I see is 128 Kb

Maybe it is just a problem on my systems, but I can't download the file from ftp.ethereal.com on any system I have. I tested using firefox and wget, from my home system, from ssh account on rsync.osuosl.org, from lfs-matrix.net and lfs-matrix.org, it downloads exactly 104KB and stops and never finishes. Does anyone else have this problem downloading this file?

​ftp://ftp.ethereal.com/pub/ethereal/all-versions/ethereal-0.10.12.tar.bz2

All I get to is here:

So my scripts seem to have downloaded the file, waiting however long the time out is, and gave up. I'll look for a mirror somewhere else to download the file. Thanks for the report.

Try using the HTTP version of the file. This is precisely why we try to find an HTTP and an FTP version for downloading. Note:

Ok, fixed. Thanks for the report.

I'm going to leave it open for now. Could you relay this issue to Jeremy H. and see if there is something he can do about this? Perhaps if the owner has a linuxfromscratch.com address, he could be able to close it. Or something like that.

I don't know what the algorithm is for determining who can and cannot close bugs. Maybe they can only be closed by someone with admin access to the particular branch (in this case, BLFS) of Trac the bug is listed in.

[Justin R. Knierim]

I use my Justin R. Knierim email for email (with a .forward to my private email) and for my login here. So it might be that only admins have the privs to do that, or in trac-admin anonymous users need to be given other rights. Anyways, not a big deal, the bug is fixed now and will be correct when all the servers rsync.

Being that I'm not subscribed to blfs-book, it wasn't clear to me at first what you wanted me to do. But I gather the problem is that Justin doesn't have permissions to close a ticket?

This is something that requires a policy decision, so Bruce, your help would be a appreciated. Justin wasn't ever given any explicit permissions to the BLFS Trac environment. I only added BLFS editors and those Bruce asked me to add. However, any authenticated user may open or append a ticket, thus Justin is able to comment with his account.

We basically have two options here:

1. Increase the abilities of all authenticated users by switching "TICKET_APPEND" to "TICKET_MODIFY" which allows any authenticated user to close tickets as well.
2. Explicitly add new users on a per need basis with the proper permissions

Either can be handled by those with the "TRAC_ADMIN" permission via the "Admin" menu item available after you've logged in.
