domain name system - DNS service discovery and SRV record format conflict

In the rel="nofollow noreferrer">RFC 2782 for SRV record type we can
read:



The format of the SRV
RR

Here is the format of the SRV RR, whose DNS type code is
33:

_Service._Proto.Name TTL Class SRV Priority Weight Port
Target


(There is an example near the end of this
document.)

Service
The symbolic name of the desired
service, as defined in Assigned
Numbers [STD 2] or locally. An underscore (_)
is prepended to
the service identifier to avoid collisions with DNS labels
that
occur in nature.
Some widely used services, notably POP,
don't have a single
universal name. If Assigned Numbers names the
service

indicated, that name is the only name which is legal for
SRV
lookups. The Service is case insensitive.


Proto
The symbolic name of the desired protocol, with an
underscore
(_) prepended to prevent collisions with DNS labels that
occur
in nature. _TCP and _UDP are at present the most useful
values
for this field, though any name defined by Assigned Numbers
or
locally may be used (as for Service). The Proto is case

insensitive.


Name
The domain this RR refers
to. The SRV RR is unique in that the
name one searches for is not this name;
the example near the end
shows this
clearly.



On
the other hand in the RFC 6763 for DNS-Based Service Discovery they are using SRV
record in such format:




Instance._Service._Proto.Name
TTL Class SRV Priority Weight Port
Target


where
Instance may contain almost all
characters:




It MUST
NOT contain ASCII control characters (byte values 0x00-0x1F and
0x7F) [RFC20]
but otherwise is allowed to contain any characters,
without restriction,
including spaces, uppercase, lowercase,
punctuation -- including dots --
accented characters, non-Roman text,

and anything else that may be
represented using
Net-Unicode.


As an
example we can get such record from
dns-sd.org:



$ dig +noall +answer
SRV
"Service\032Discovery._http._tcp.dns-sd.org."
Service\032Discovery._http._tcp.dns-sd.org.
60 IN SRV 0 0 80
dns-sd.org.


So my
question is: does this SRV record format valid accordingly to RFC 2782? And if it is
valid why, for example, cloudflare doesn't allow to add such
record?

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits,

apache 2.2 - Server Potentially Compromised -- c99madshell

So, low and behold, a legacy site we've been hosting for a client had a version of FCKEditor that allowed someone to upload the dreaded c99madshell exploit onto our web host. I'm not a big security buff -- frankly I'm just a dev currently responsible for S/A duties due to a loss of personnel. Accordingly, I'd love any help you server-faulters could provide in assessing the damage from the exploit. To give you a bit of information: The file was uploaded into a directory within the webroot, "/_img/fck_uploads/File/". The Apache user and group are restricted such that they can't log in and don't have permissions outside of the directory from which we serve sites. All the files had 770 permissions (user rwx, group rwx, other none) -- something I wanted to fix but was told to hold off on as it wasn't "high priority" (hopefully this changes that). So it seems the hackers could've easily executed the script. Now I wasn't able
