Running proftpd with tls

Under woody:
$ openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out ftpd-rsa.pem -keyout ftpd-rsa-key.pem
With sid/sarge you also need those in proftpd.conf:
#TLSCACertificateFile /etc/proftpd/ftpd-rsa.pem
TLSRSACertificateFile /etc/proftpd/ftpd-rsa.pem
TLSRSACertificateKeyFile /etc/proftpd/ftpd-rsa-key.pem

Making linux reboot on panic

Suppose you're running some unsafe kernel in remote location, you wouldn't like your machine to freeze waiting for you to power it down in case of panic. So what do you do?

echo "69" > /proc/sys/kernel/panic
this will make it wait 69 seconds and then reboot in case of panic ( unless of course, like with my problem with audio half of panics loop infinitely )
