How to find new or re-activated accounts in NIS in the past week:


d=`date +%Y%m%d -d '7 days ago'`; rcsdiff -r`rlog -d$d /var/yp/source/passwd |grep "^revision"|awk '{print $2}'` /var/yp/source/passwd|sed 's/^[<> ]//; /---/d; /^[0-9]/d'|perl -F: -walne '$h{$F[2]}.="$F[0] "; END {$h{$_} =~ / ./ && print "$_: $h{$_}" for keys %h}' | awk '{ if ( $NF !~ /_[a-z]+/ ) { print $NF } }'


And yes, I know this will also pick up accounts with changed passwords, I don’t mind that.

The wiki is finally online. Had a slight legacy issue with versions of PHP between my dev and live environments that took a little while to work out.

There are still a lot of gaps in the wiki, and quite a few dead links, but they should be sorted out in the next couple of weeks as I port the content across.

Meanwhile, if you find anything that is broken or any info that is clearly wrong, please let me know.

Took this photo a while ago and thought I’d share it with people on the off-chance any of you are as sad as me.

This is what black looks like on our super cheap DVD player over our super expensive
component cable compared to how it looks over a normal video lead.

Both sides of the screen are from the same DVD via alternate inputs (DVD player has dual output, TV has more inputs than you can shake a stick at, plus split screen, obviously).

The component cable is on the left, the ordinary AV cable is on the right.

Fairly astounding huh?

And don’t get me started on colours.

Unfortunately we have spent more time watching the Wiggles than anything else since we got the new cable, and no one should have to suffer that much exposure to primary colours…
