Back in June I wrote about a ruling against Sanford Wallace, who is one of the most well known spammers. As of today, the case as been settled and “California awarded Facebook $711 million in damages against Sanford Wallace”. Additionally, Wallace now faces possible jail time. Despite the massive settlement, it’s unlikely Wallace will ever show up in California again, or pay the settlement.

Instead, Sanford Wallace is probably moving from country to country, trying to avoid the authorities and living off money stashed in offshore accounts. Despite Sanford’s decision to hop around the world avoiding authorities, Facebook is hailing this judgment as a big win:

    The ruling is the result of tireless effort by our Security and Legal teams, which work to find, expose, and prosecute the sources of spam attacks. As Sam O’Rourke, Associate General Counsel for Facebook, has stated, “We’ll go to the ends of the Earth to protect our users from spam and make sure those who send it are held accountable.” These efforts complement the sophisticated technical systems we continue to develop to limit the impact of these attacks, and where possible, block them altogether.

Facebook is currently dedicated to building advanced spam fighting systems and pursuing those individuals who attempt to scam users on the site. One of the early issues with MySpace was an overload of spam which caused people to go running from the site. Facebook in contrast has aggressively pursued spammers, and while many have slipped through the cracks, most issues are resolved quickly.

This is just one more settlement against Sanford Wallace who has already filed for bankruptcy, however it’s a big win for Facebook who has been working on this case for months now.

You can check the current version of apache by running

httpd -v

If you wish to update your 1.3 version of apache to the most recent, run the following:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
./build clean
./build update
./build apache_mod_ssl

If you’re using apache 2.x, use "./build apache_2" instead of apache_mod_ssl.
This should update both the configure options and the version of apache to the most recent version. Once the update has completed, you’ll need to restart apache:
RedHat:

/sbin/service httpd restart

FreeBSD:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/httpd restart

The organization that oversees the Internet’s domain name system is going to have to find a new leader.

Today at the opening session of ICANN’s international meeting in Mexico City, Paul Twomey announced his intention to step down as the group’s president and CEO by the end of the year.

Twomey has headed the organization since 2003, following a four-year stint as chairman of ICANN’s Governmental Advisory Committee. At the request of the board of directors, Twomey said he plans to remain with the group for a transitional period after his replacement is named. During that time, he will serve in the new position of senior president.

Tributes poured in from Internet luminaries in response to Twomey’s announcement.
“I can think of no other person who has had more influence on the course of ICANN’s evolution than Paul,” Vint Cerf, Google’s chief Internet evangelist and a former ICANN chairman, said in a statement. “We owe him a great debt for long and faithful service and I owe him personal thanks for his counsel during my time on the board. The board will be challenged to find a worthy and capable successor.”

As head of ICANN, Twomey helped set the stage for the most dramatic expansion in the Internet suffixes, known as global Top-Level Domains (gTLDs), since the nonprofit’s inception.

Internet addresses have traditionally been confined to familiar suffixes like .com and .org. But in June, ICANN’s board approved a measure to allow site operators to select their own gTLDs, inviting the potential for a virtual land grab.

“The potential here is huge. It represents a whole new way for people to express themselves on the Net,” Twomey said at the time of the board’s decision. “It’s a massive increase in the ‘real estate’ of the Internet.”

ICANN is planning to open the application period for new gTLDs in the second quarter. Global TLDs are distinct from country-specific suffixes like .ca (Canada) and .au (Australia), which are referred to as country-code Top-Level Domains, or ccTLDs.

Prior to his tenure at the helm of ICANN, Twomey held a variety of tech posts in the public and private sectors, serving as the Australian government’s Special Adviser for the Information Economy and Technology. He was also the founding CEO of the National Office for the Information Economy, the Australian government’s top IT agency.

Immediately before taking over at ICANN, Twomey founded Argo P@cific, an international investment and consulting firm.

In a statement, Twomey said that he had previously expressed his intention to step down, indicating that he plans to continue work on Internet issues, but in a different capacity.

“While I am deeply and personally committed to ICANN and its success, I think this is the right time for me to move on to another leadership position in the private or international sectors,” he said.

If you reinstall DA (./directadmin i) on a live box, your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file will get overwritten and emptied of all data. You’ll need to read all of the Include lines for your users so that their sites show up (you’ll be seeing the apache pages, or the shared IP pages instead)
Type:

cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/users
for i in `ls`; do { echo "Include /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/$i/httpd.conf" >> /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf; }; done;

Note that this add the include lines for *all* users.. so if you’ve added users to DA after you ran the "./directadmin i", you’ll end up with duplicates. Make sure you don’t have duplicate Include lines.. (apache won’t restart, it will let you know)
