  5. Re:RioSport S35S on SONICblue Hits the Auction Block · · Score: 1

    Yeah, we might want to order replacement cables while they are still available. I just ordered a 256MB SD-MMC card and specified 2-day shipping. After 4 days I contacted UPS, which said they had no further information, but there was something wrong with the bill. I contacted Sonicblue and they said they had a problem with shipping where _all_ their packages received the same UPS tracking number but they were going to have it all resolved by that night.

    I finally received my order 8 days after the original order was placed. BTW the box on the S35S says it is only expandable to 256 MB, but if you look at the website, there is a firmware upgrade that allows it to take the bigger cards. I updated my firmware and now am running 384 MB on that little Rio!

    It rocks, so I hope someone buys the product line and continues support. It would be a shame to lose a product that delivers what it promises.

    Y'know, the box said it was upgradable to 256 MB but the website says it will take up to 640 MB. I just ordered another 256 for $99, which would make it 384.

    Weird. I bought mine yesterday and walked four miles wearing it last night. Not a bit of trouble. My only desire is to get some headphones that will reproduce bass better.

    I would guess your problem is static. That is not an issue here in South Florida because it is like 80 deg. and 115% humidity.

  12. Re:Arghh.... on Sonicblue files for Chap 11 · · Score: 1

    I feel the same way. I bought a Rio S35S yesterday and just before seeing this story I bought the 256 MB MMC expansion card. This little thing is so cool and small I hope they continue to produce and support them. The iPod is really cool too, but I wanted something _tiny_ as possible and with 384 MB in such a small package I am happy.

    I realize it is not the same thing but the OP asked for unpatched MS holes and there are several. I don't know the time line between vendor notification and patch release for IIS holes, for example, but I bet it wasn't as fast as the open source community's response to this sendmail exploit and many others.

    V. Solution
    Do one of the following:
    1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 4-STABLE; or to the RELENG_5_0, RELENG_4_7, or RELENG_4_6 security branch dated after the correction date (5.0-RELEASE-p4, 4.7-RELEASE-p7, or 4.6.2-RELEASE-p10, respectively).

    [NOTE: At the time of this writing, the FreeBSD 4-STABLE branch is labeled `4.8-RC1'.]

    2) To patch your present system:

    The following patch has been verified to apply to FreeBSD 5.0, 4.7, and 4.6 systems.

    a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

    ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/patches/S A- 03:04/sendmail.patch
    ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/Fr eeBSD/CERT/patches/SA- 03:04/sendmail.patch.asc

    # make obj && make depend && make
    # cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail
    # make obj && make depend && make && make install

    3) For i386 systems only, a patched sendmail binary is available. Select the correct binary based on your FreeBSD version and whether or
    not you want STARTTLS support. If you want STARTTLS support, you must have the crypto distribution installed.
