I am running JewishBannerExchange.com on a RAQ2, and it works well. The
software I use if from TRXX scripts, as http://www.trxx.co.uk/. The
programmer is a really nice person in Russia. I purchased the software for
$200 and he installed the software for me for at no additional charge.

I was originally weary about sending money to someone who I didn't know via
Western Union, since the mail to Russia is slow, and giving him access to my
RAQ2, but he is very reliable and trustworthy. I recommend him for all his
products.

He also included free upgrades for life with the purchase, and he has kept
his word. He has also helped me get past problems for no money at all.

Reply-To: cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have a client with a RAQ2, and we want users to be able to FTP files up to
the server, but we don't want anyone else to see them, except the admin.

By default, the /home/users/username/private directory is:
drwxr-s---   2 username httpd
The problem is that admin can't get to it, only the user. We want admin and
the user to see it.

Has anyone had any luck with chgrp or other methods of resrticting access? I
would like some ideas please.

How are you going about running it?

The reason I as is because technically, PHP is a preparser language, not a
scripting language.  PHP doesn't have an interpreter on a command line type
basis--it requires Apache to parse the file with mod_php.  I suppose if you
have PHP installed as a CGI you could probably get it to work on the command
line, I guess.

so, if you are doing somthing like (in your crontab);
0 0 * * * * /home/sites/home/web/myscript.php3
its definitely not going to work.

0 0 * * * * curl http://www.yoursite.com/myscript.php3
0 0 * * * * lynx -dump http://www.yoursite.com/myscript.php3
will every night at midnight will execute cURL (a killer command line stdout
web browser/tool) or use Lynx to essentially do the same thing,
respectively.

Several steps should be made:

1) Firewall.  Ignore all ports that aren't neccessary.  Or use like ipchains
to put a firewall directly on the server.
2) Unneccessary ports.  Turn off all the ports you aren't using

Portsentry can also help you by automatically ignoring packets from someone
who is port scanning you.

that character does not appear in the original script; it`s part of
the error message.

the script (mine at least) is as follows :

#!/bin/sh

# NTPdate cron event
# Configured through the administrative web interface
# Copyright (C) 1998, Cobalt Networks, Inc
# All rights reserved

sleep 585
/usr/sbin/ntpdate ntp2.fau.de >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1
/sbin/clock -w -u >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1
unlink()
/sbin/clock -w -u >>/var/cobalt/sauce.log 2>&1


it is interesting that after pressing "save changes" in the time control
panel the sleep argument (585) increased (from 420)...

i even don`t understand the stout redirection to /var/cobalt/sauce.log,
as hwclock (linked from clock) with the params -wu has no output when
entered in the shell.

it seems that the shell interprets the last line as a parameter for the
unlink (huh?) command because of a syntax error.

and, hwclock expects the date as a parameter for the -w option...

seems to be a mess :-(

if you have not disabled the cgiwrap debug function (enabled by
default),
you could let them type the following url :

http://SITEURL/cgiwrapDir/cgiwrapd/SCRIPTNAME

refer to http://www.unixtools.org/cgiwrap/faq.html

that gives the script output, normally html or errors, but some system
information,too (which i don`t like at all)...

You'll have to compile PHP as a stand alone cgi if you want to use cron tab.
You can't use the apache module for it.

Subject: [cobalt-users] purchasing a secure certificate from Thawte
Reply-To: cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm following the instructions in the RaQ3 manual for setting up SSL using
an externally authenticated digital certificate and I don't see any mention
of my private key.  However, Thawte makes it sound like my life will end if
I don't have a secure back up of this thingy.  Quote from Thawte's site,

"Please make sure that you have a backup of your private key, and that you
know the passphrase that protects it. Your certificate will not work without
the private key, and we cannot simply reissue your certificate if your key
is lost or corrupted, or if you can't remember the passphrase. Protecting
your private key is your primary responsibility if you want to conduct
business online. Your private key is like a company stamp."

I assume that this is all handled under the covers by the RaQ3's GUI program
and Cobalt doesn't mention it because they want to keep things simple (on
the surface anyway).  Should I just press on with the instructions from the
RaQ's user manual or should I be more concerned about finding and backing up
my private key?  Is it secure enough in the default location?

Thanks in advance,
Brian

*Beep* You're wrong.

PHP _does_ have a interpreter on a commandline. The command is called
"php" (just like perl is called perl).

You'll have to select it when you compile PHP, but it works perfectly
thereafter.

Sorry about that -- I have not been able to figure out how the GUI actually
interfaces with the config files. In other words, what does it see and what
will break it.

In Apache, here's all you "should" need:

# point www.somesite.com to subdirectory somesite
<VirtualHost www.somesite.com somesite.com>
ServerName www.somesite.com
ServerAdmin admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx
DocumentRoot /home/sites/home/users/somesite
</VirtualHost>

This is the standard way in Apache. You can also add other things like:
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .cgi
AddHandler cgi-wrapper .pl
Alias /icons/ /where ever these are/

Again, I have no idea what the GUI will do with this.

sends and receives email within and outside the domain.  The other stations
in the network can receive all email, but cannot send email to recipients
outside of our domain.  I have tried to find the difference between the user
accounts, but I can find none.  When one of the other stations attempts to
send email to a recipient outside of our domain, the message comes back:

"The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by
the server. Server Response: '550 joeblow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx denied'.
(Account: 'user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx', SMTP Server: 'www.ourdomain.com', Error
Number: 0x800ccc79)."

As these other users have email accounts and aliases on the site, I
shouldn't need to list any domains in the "Relay email for the following
hosts/domains" box, but I put "ourdomain.com" there anyway.  Still nothing.
I even tried putting the IP blocks for our network, as well as the IP blocks
put out by our firewall, also to no avail.  Their email works great as long
as they send to someone within our domain.  Fat lot of good that does.  Why
is relaying being denied for these users and what do I have to do to enable
their relaying?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Mark G. Castillo

Dialtoneinternet connections seem fast -- and I considered them for a while
but ultimately decided it would not be smart to go with a company that
doesn't offer a 30-money back guarantee and expects you to sign a 6-month
service contract.

	I believe you need to either set the sendmail daemon on
gateway machine to masquerade for the other machines or set
the gateway machine up as a Smart Relay Host. Masquerading is
the easiest solution however the problem is that I don't have an
RaQ3 here so I don't know if the necessary function was compiled
into your sendmail.cf but I'm guessing they were not as they're
certainly not installed on our RaQ2s.

	But you can configure the sendmails on the other machines in
the network to use the gateway machine as a 'smart relay host'. This
is pretty easy to do. Just open the /ect/sendmail.cf file and scroll
down till you see the line that reads:

	# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
        DS

	And put the domain name of the gateway machine right there
after the DS, ie: DSfoo.com

	I'm guessing the GUI might break this during some
configuration changes (I've only been playing with these things a
couple of weeks). While there is a master copy on my RaQ2s
which I'm also guessing the GUI uses as a template which could be
edited thereby eliminating this problem, doing so will probably
break the warranty.

	Quite simply, what is going on here is that nice tight email
servers are seeing the messages as being relayed because they are
being relayed. They're ordinating on one machine but being processed
by a second machine. Thus you either need to use the gateway machine
as a Smart Host (like ISPs do - which is pretty much exactly what
you are doing) or Masquerade the mail in such as way as to, well,
masquerade the relay enough to where it won't be seen as a problem
by the recipient machines.

	Peace be with you,

	Brent
