As everyone else I have a lot of accounts on the web, and I know that I shouldn't use
the same password everywhere. Seriously, don't do it. So, some years ago I started using
password managers. I didn't select one of the many desktop applications - mostly because
it would have been hard to keep the password database files in sync between all my
computers. I selected Passpack - one of the better
online password managers. Because it didn't support HTTP Basic Auth, which I had to use
a lot, I switched to Clipperz - another great
online password managers.
I have used Clipperz until today - more or less happily. Today I switched to
Password Safe - a desktop password
manager. I know, moving from the cloud to the desktop is kind of against the trend.
However, the reasons I did it now are:
- Easy syncing with Dropbox - even to my phone using the Android Dropbox App.
- The Android Password Safe App is much easier
to use than the mobile version of the Clipperz website.
So you could still say I'm using the cloud, but I have switch from the browser
to native programs.

SSHGuard is my favorite program for protecting my servers against brute force attacks. SSHGuard isn't limited to SSH, but that is what I use it for. I'm running SSHGuard on FreeBSD with the pf firewall and on GNU/Debian with the iptables firewall.

Disclaimer: The following tip was written for FreeBSD 6.2, running Cyrus IMAP 2.2.13. It worked for me, but maybe not for you.
Prelude
Some days ago the web mail on my server stopped working - it couldn't save some settings file. I immediately guessed that my /var partition was full again. (It's not the first time... Very long ago, when I didn't know better, I selected a too small /var partition. Since it normally goes OK, it's 65% full, I haven't fixed it yet.) I decided the quickest solution was to delete the content if the biggest Trash mailbox. It worked OK, the /var partition was down at 70% and the computer usable again. However, I expected the Trash mailbox index to rebuild successfully automatically, but no such luck. I then decide to copy the (cache, header, index) files from another empty Trash mailbox. Unfortunately, I screwed up even more, because I copied the file into the inbox... I tried running the normal reconstruct command in cyradm, but it just didn't fix anything.
The solution

Take care when sending URLs in plain text to Hotmail users - it might get wrongly parsed. The problem is HTML entities. This has been reported earlier for Microsoft products as IE and Outlook, "®ion" turning into "®ion" for example, but finally we can experience it in all browsers because Hotmail is doing something similar...
