  Talk:Paul Vixie - ICANNWiki
Vixie, a high-school dropout, was a precocious programmer, helping while still in his mid-20s write the domain-name software now used on most servers.
Vixie is turning his attention to what he feels is an even greater threat to how the Internet works: fragmentation.
Vixie that he set up ORSN in February 2002 because of his distrust of the Bush administration and its foreign policy.

 LinuxWorld | Paul Vixie: Open source the only way forward
Vixie says that while outfits like MAPS and RBL filled a need by making the public aware of the extent of the spam problem as well as providing a tool to prevent email abuse, it was mainly a behavior-modification solution that can only go so far.
Vixie believes a technology-based solution will have to be devised, one which turns the current policy of "anything is permitted that's not expressly prohibited" around.
Vixie is keen to see ideas like free registration for charities and religious organizations come true, as well as a free certificate authority for.org holders.

 What will stop spam?
Paul Vixie wants everyone to know that he is angry.
Vixie: The reason I said it's a little bit difficult to say just how many people we have on the RBL is that there are now three different ways to get it.
Vixie: At this point, I think that they are afraid to sue me because this is an extremely popular cause and giving me a forum on which I can wage public debate is not in the interests of the people that are losing money because of what I'm doing.

 ISS X-Force Database: vixie-crontab-bo(6098): Vixie crontab buffer overflow
Vixie crontab is a scheduling daemon that ships with several Linux distributions.
Vixie crontab version 3.0.1-56 is vulnerable to a denial of service attack caused by a buffer overflow in the strcpy function.
Due to insufficient bounds checking of the login name in the strcpy function, an attacker can run crontab with a username containing more than 20 characters to overflow the buffer and cause the program to crash.

 Vixie Syntax - mcron 1.0.3
This section is also copied verbatim from Paul Vixie's documentation for his cron program, and his copyright notice is duly reproduced below.
Looking at the Vixie source code, it seems that if this date appears as part of a list, it has no effect.
Somewhere it says that cron sets the SHELL environment variable to /bin/sh, and elsewhere it implies that the default behaviour is for the user's default shell to be used to execute commands.

 Akamai Outage Raises DNS Questions
Paul Vixie, a leading authority on DNS, and the founder of Internet Systems Consortium (ISC), said he thinks there is a weakness in Akamai's approach to the issue.
Vixie told internetnews.com he suspects that Akamai doesn't use BIND, an open source DNS implementation that ISC maintains, because of a patent Akamai holds on its own DNS technology.
Vixie contends that Akamai's approach to its DNS puts too many eggs in one basket.

 Paul Vixie on Verisign :: Tucows Farm
O'Reilly's OnLAMP site has an interview with Paul Vixie on VeriSign's redirection of nonexistent URLs (as well as URLs with illegal characters -- try going to an URL with commas, such as http://dev,r,tucows,com).
Vixie is the chair of the board of directors for the Internet Software Consortium (ISC), a non-profit corporation that develops open source reference implementations of core Internet protocols.
VeriSign's servers don't actually emit the wildcard data onto the wire; the DNS protocol allows for "synthesis" if there is no match in the zone but there is a wildcard in the zone.

Independent Paul Vixie (Ed.) Request for Comments: XXXX Category: Experimental June 6, 2002 Repudiating MAIL FROM Status of this Memo This memo describes an experimental procedure for handling received e-mail.
What's needed is a way to guaranty that each received e-mail message did in fact come from some mail server or relay which can rightfully originate or relay messages from the purported source/return address.
For example if VIXIE@NETBSD.ORG's account has a Vixie Experimental [Page 4] RFC XXXX Repudiating MAIL FROM May 26, 2002 ".forward" file pointing at VIXIE@ISC.ORG, then e-mail sent to the former will be received by the latter, but with no change in the payload of SMTP MAIL FROM.

I happen to think that the rest of the WG ought to want to hear the answer just as badly as I do, but that's something I'll address at a later date.
Paul, Perhaps to the surprize of many, I agree with the general thrust of your statement, i.e., that PEM may not be a good precedent for adopting RSA for the DNS, but for different reasons.
When we initially developed PEM, we were quite concerned about the issue of using technology that was patented in the US.

I am surprised that Paul Vixie did not seem to exhibit much emotion regarding the Sitefinder situation - for someone who's been at the core of what we now know as the DNS for so many years (you would think it's like his own child:).
Vixie also mentions that there are smart people at Verisign, reminding us that the Sitefinder "service" is the brainchild of but a handful of people, maybe even just one or two.
