If you don’t live near me and you have a Linksys WRT-54G, I cannot recommend the HyperWRT firmware highly enough. It allowed me to turn up the gain on my router, increasing the signal-to-noise ratio enough that my neighbors wireless networks no longer cause interference.
Take that, puny neighbor’s wireless network.

I have no idea of the cause or remedy for this problem, but it certainly is a pain. I have two boxes running Debian GNU/Linux that are set up solely as SSH gateways. They use RSA token authentication. So far, so good. Now the weird part - I am unable to enter a capital letter c in the shell while connected to the boxes. If I cut and paste a string with a C in it the C gets stripped out, e.g. pasting Chris would result in hris showing up in the shell. If I launch vi or another editor I can paste the letter C or type it.
Any ideas?
Update: The problem seems to spring from having the following set in .bashrc
bind "set completion-ignore-case on"

Lately I have noticed that several packages in the Darwin Ports distribution fail to build properly, with the “port install” command either complaining about being unable to open the file or reporting a checksum mismatch. All of the ports in question (txt2html, nethack, rxvt) were hosted at SourceForge and when I followed the actual build process it appeared the source downloads were not completing and the errors were misleading.
Until DP gets their ports tree fixed, you can download the correct file from SourceForge manually and place it in /opt/local/var/db/dports/distfiles/
