Description:
I cannot register for forums. In my Arch Linux installation, "date -u +%V$(uname)|sha1sum|sed 's/\W//g'" returns the value 2bfb8120080f9f0c4cf6a3d81d13bdeb0ae67c9e8c1da223f2cc67a8 but https://bbs.archlinux.org/register.php?action=register reports "Sorry, your answer was wrong. Try again!". Additional info: date -u +%V$(uname) returns 41Linux date --version date (GNU coreutils) 8.31 sha224sum --version sha224sum (GNU coreutils) 8.31 sed --version sed (GNU sed) 4.7 uname -a returns 5.3.5-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Oct 7 19:03:08 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux Steps to reproduce: Attempt to register a new user for Arch Forums. (I've tried more than three times, double and triple checking the output I've pasted into the registration form, with no success. Which isn't to say I haven't made an error somewhere...) |
