No. Slurpd uses a date contained with the file, not the date of the file itself, which you'd know if you actually cared and weren't just being a weenie.
We came into work this morning to find that we had this same problem. We also found that you do not have to patch your code immediately to work around the bug.
The quick fix is to delete the slurpd.status file, which is then replaced by a slurpd.status with a 1G+ time which will compare properly using openldap's strcmp expression until we hit the S10G threshold.
We do plan to upgrade at some point before then, since we will all have moved on or retired, and nobody will be left who remembers S1G *grin*
All the internet gives people is an edge, a means of many-to-many communication and distribution which makes an end run around the one-to-many monopolies of corporate media. We have to use this tool with courage and intelligence. And, the masses of people currently hypnotized by the media need to wake up (perhaps they'll need our help). Of course the corporate world is turning on the internet now that it has finally given up on turning it into another television. Technological innovation can create opportunities, but WE have to assert our freedom.
Mr. Katz could be a bit less histronic about the whole thing.
Bryce's Xbase Fan Club page at http://www.geocities.com/tablizer/xbasefan.htm gets to the core of his mentality. He states "Many allege that I like XBase simply out of familiarity and habit." Well..., duh! Later in this article he blames OOP for the demise of Xbase.
I once programmed in Clipper, a compiler that offered the most sophisticated extension of the xbase "language". What Bryce doesn't tell you is that from the early nineties on there was a very excellent Clipper library called Class(y) that allowed you to code in OBJECT ORIENTED XBASE. It offered such nice features as multiple inheritance and delegation. Though it goes against all of Bryce's tortuous logic, OO xbase actually enabled me to reuse components and increase my productivity! It also helped me prepare to move to c++, objective c (OpenStep) and Java when the xbase market fell flat in '94.
The most annoying thing about Bryce is that he's never bothered to learn in depth any of the things he criticizes. Rather than putting his energy into the investigation of new languages and paradigms, he wastes his time and ours with this weak and paranoid rant that blames a Communist OO conspiracy for the fruits of his own laziness. He should grieve the death of xbase and move on.
If you had ever seen and used NeXTSTEP, of which Bud Tribble of Eazel was the key architect, you would know that power and usability don't have to be at cross purposes when they are united by strong design work. NeXTSTEP featured a beautifully designed GUI with a cohesive OO architecture running on top of BSD with a Mach kernel. It also had the best software development environment that has ever existed. If only Steve "These are my toys and you can't have them" Jobs had given back to the GNUSTEP project after taking heavily from GNU for NeXT's utilities, tools and compilers, we would not have to be doing this again. GNUSTEP has never had a chance because it looks backward toward a NeXT future that almost was but never will be (The sense of pathos that pervades the dedicated OpenStep / Cocoa developer community is truly heartbreaking). Last year, despite a healthy market for WebObjects development, I quit my involvment with NeXT/OpenStep/MacOS X Server because I felt that it was time to look to the real future of computing, which for me is Free Software / Open Source / Linux. Although the new environment and its tools are a lot more chaotic, their potential is becoming clearer to me every day. The presence of this team of people working on a breakthrough user interface for Linux fills me with hope. I'm rejoicing - you should be too.
Unfortunately the mainstream press, Microsoft, and wintel corporate IT managers protect each other because they are all culpable in the huge confidence game that is mainstream corporate IT. Do you really think trade journals that have been lying to us or the IT goons who force most of us to live with Microsoft products are going to scream out in indignation at their benefactors?
In my opinion, one of the worst fallouts of Microsoft's monopoly has been the intensification of the corruption of the commercial journals and thereby of IT departments run by executives too lazy to do their own research.
Lazy people who do not think for themselves (all of the above) are simply incapable of taking responsibility for the situations they create.
