Attended Linuxfest Northwest again. Helped at BSD booth. Ran my company booth. My photo is here. And gave a presentation on "pkgsrc".

My Apache logs has "SEARCH /" followed by many bytes of junk. Some worm maybe trying to exploit an WebDAV issue. Apache returns a 414 error because request too long. I think this can not be stopped with Limit directive because this (too long of request) is happening before that is checked.

I used chattr to set all my /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/bin immutable, for example:

chattr -R -V +i /usr/bin
