We are curious whether anyone else is seeing the sorts of issues like the one with Symantec we just reported. Have you seen problems with the change from 200* to 20**? UPDATE: Johannes mentioned that DShield actually had problems due to a regex on incoming logs looking for 200[0-9], to prevent ridiculously future dates being sent in. He ended up fixing it early in the morning on Jan 1. Anyone else have stories to share? UPDATE: We've had two interesting issues pointed out.

Spamassassin had a similar regex looking for dates too far in the future: http://lwn.net/Articles/368396/

Do you have any pointers to the CSM load balancer issue? The documentation I've found indicates that the default is for the cookie to be a session cookie without a defined expiration.

A brief excerpt from Marcus Sach's Spamassasin post on 1/2/2010 reads "I thought we fixed all of these problems ten years ago when we went through the Y2K transition. " http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=7858
Unfortunately not, a lot of people made a lot of money delaying the problem by 10 years or more. Other common dates of 2030, 2031, and 2050 were used by coders who instead of changing years to 4 digits or more, simply used a slider window of if greater than xx then "19xx", else "20xx". I railed against such short sightedness more than 10 years ago when I was coding. Those who disagreed said, the code will be obsolete and replaced by then. Hmm, isn't that why y2k was such a concern, code that was obsolete yet not replaced, in fact it had been replicated and ported into increasing numbers of application. Code reuse as it were. |

* Home
* Trial Copies of SAP Software * About SAP Spool issue – affects all Releases January 4th, 2010 Posted in Management, Monitoring, OSS, Support Pack SAP have detected a problem in the spool area which affects all customers in the world regardless of the SAP release and any support package level. As soon as the retention time of a spool request exceeds 2009/12/31 a wrong date 2100/01/01 is entered during creation of the spool request. As a consequence these spool requests will not be deleted anymore from the spool reorg jobs. Using the default retention period this affects all spool requests on each SAP system in the world created since 2009/12/23. http://www.basissap.com/2010/01/sap-spool-issue-affects-all-releases/ |

These may not be 2010 related and just AT&T being AT&T:
http://forums.e71fanatics.com/topic/at038t-new-years-crash http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=842481 If it was just network congestion, the one person's query in the second link about what would happen in a nationwide emergency is a bit sobering, particularly in light of AT&T's request to discontinue wired phone service altogether. It's effectively a DDoS from authorized users. http://gigaom.com/2009/12/30/att-to-fcc-let-my-landlines-go/ |

I read on a Danish website that Siemens park meters in Copenhagen haven't been working since January 1st! Confirmed by Siemens to be a "communication problem" between 2 units
