We've added a Thawt Certificate to a virtual on our RAQ3,
following the printed directions in the Cobalt manual. However,
it appears that the server is still using the old, self signed
certificate. Even after a restart and save changes.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried manually deleting the certificate in your browser, or using a
different browser to see if it receives the new certificate?

This seems a bit strange to me... my raq3 is somewhat underused (only 20 or
so web sites, 200 usernames) and I use the adduser script regularly to add
blocks of like 10 users. It takes probably less than a minute to add that
many. Do you have some huge kind of load on this server??

This is because each time cadduser is invoked it does a use on a bunch
of Cobalt's (autoloading) perl modules. So to add one user it needs to
allocate and deallocate about 10 MB of memory, which really sucks on RaQ2's
60ns RAM. For it taking longer on each pass, this is because with more users,
it has to check more possible conflicts. Since none of this is store in a
database on RaQ2 (postgres) it take much longer verify and add.
You might want to try adding all of the use Cobalt::* in cadduser
into the script that is calling it.
*Warning* This can cause problems where vars contain bad info because they are
not initialized on each pass.

Yes, it should add the user to the UI that is what is happening when you

I am pretty sure that password code has been fixed in 1.1-13. What type of RaQ

Dominic,
The Half-Life server will only run on i386 (intel) architecture boxes.
Since the server is distributed as a precompiled binary, it will not run on
the Qube2 (MIPS architecture).

Shawn,
If you do not have FTP enabled in php (it is not by default), then you need
to install it from the source. When configuring, make sure you use
the --with-ftp option.

I'm going from an <leased> RaQ3i to an <own> RaQ3. They both had 1.1-09 org
installed. But I've updated them both to 1.1-13. It updates the passwords in
shadow about 30-35% of the time during a single site migration. Not sure why
it doesnt the remainder? I can see the passwords <the correct ones> in the
XML files, but they don't carry over to the shadow file correctly.
GREAT LITTLE PROGRAM BTW!!!
Thanks!

We're low-priced because our customers are primarily people like you
(other IPPs and ISPs) who can then afford to resell our services. Going
rate out there in the real world is about $150/hour for contract

No, I've got some in work; you may read me mentioning "DNS for Dummies"
over and over again, but it'll never be published as a Dummies book; it
just won't sell enough for them.
I'm currently promoting a "nobaloney guide to ...(insert subject here
<smile>)" line, but haven't gotten a publisher interested in it yet
<frown>.
I used to write columns and magazine articles, but it's been a few
years. One (unpublished) novel.

I seem to recall some ISPs used to bring in people as apprentices for
free, to learn. Don't know if anyone is still doing that, though. Too
many liability issues.

Though I've not used "Linux for Dummies", in general I think the "for
Dummies" series quite good, and not really for Dummies <smile>, but
rather for people who do better when starting at the beginning

Reread my post. I NEVER said it was slower by nature. I said there
were things that can go wrong with the connection. Without a traceroute
you'll never know where the problem is, only that there is one. With
traceroutes to and from you can often find a specific router or network
segment and know exactly who to contact.
Is there something simpler that I'm missing?
