Today I noticed a problem with my development machine. It has been in storage for about a month. Yesterday it started processing FreshPorts emails again. Overnight, I noticed a strange error which I could not follow: Unusual System Events =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dec 31 20:33:11 ngaio FreshPorts[93781]: error executing make command for sysutils/rsyslog-mysql: This command (FreshPorts code […]

MSNPTC/1.0 appears to be a poorly written spider bot. It has no concept of distributing requests. I am not the only person that thinks this: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum11/2845.htm http://www.botsvsbrowsers.com/details/4800/index.html http://boardreader.com/t/Spiders_Crawlers_509179/MSNPTC_1_0_2849.html Let me demonstrate with an example: $ grep -c “MSNPTC/1.0” freshports.org-access.log 1975 $ grep “MSNPTC/1.0” freshports.org-access.log | head -1 219.142.53.25 – – [01/Nov/2007:16:52:00 -0400] “GET /login.php?origin=%2Fcommit.php%3Fcategory%3Dwww %26port%3Deventum%26files%3Dyes%26message_id

I was scanning the error logs this morning, looking for anything unusual. I found it: [Mon Oct 22 12:31:10 2007] [error] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 512 bytes) in display_commit.php on line 91 I have seen this before, but could not recall where.

The previous post was based on a question from Martin Wilke, who was looking for a vuxml entry against phpMyAdmin. We eventually found it. It had the wrong dates but it was found. Martin corrected the problem with a followup commit. This incident prompted me to make a couple of changes to FreshPorts with respect
