Change Log:

2002-04-09  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Release 2.0 stable, test release.

2002-04-09  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * vm-pop3d-1.1.4.patch: Create patch for VM-POP3D 1.1.4 which
        handles VishwaKarma authentication, accounting info printout and
        the broken RH LDAP development system.

        * kandalaya.schema: Ensure all notify* attributes correct and
        accounted for.

        * notifyForm.cgi (sortOptions): Change if defined array to just if
        array.

        * changepassword.cgi: Don't send notification if server owner
        changes her own password: if she doesn't know it herself no need
        to tell her.

        * ISPlib.pm (Sendmail): New Sendmail function to call mailer and
        send message.  Need to change List CGI's to use this function
        now.

        * Notify.pm (Format): Create Format function to output nicely (I
        guess).
        (notify): Write the notification routine completely.

        * system.pl: Remove carp messages from all over the place.
        Sanitise the ones which remain.
        (doSmartList): Don't die if SmartList not found.

        * FAQ.sgml: Note that we support RH 7.x now.

        * INSTALL: Change REDHAT 7.1 to REDHAT 7.2.  It works on RH 7.2
        now.

        Add instructions for getting, patching and compiling VM-POP3D.

        Change the ACL's for OpenLDAP to permit (nearly) anyone to access
        the notify settings and mail addresses.

2002-03-25  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Notify.pm: Completed the Notify code, ready for testing.  Still
        need to add the appropriate ACL's in slapd.conf.

2002-03-03  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * ISPlib.pm (Sendmail): Add Sendmail function

2002-01-25  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * system.pl: Fix list handling so that only members are allowed to
        post by default.

2001-12-14  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * run-webalizer (DNS_CACHE): Let the Webalizer DNS be owned by
        root and writable by all, otherwise it grows too big and causes
        quota problems with domains which are near their quota limit.

2001-12-13  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * FAQ.sgml: Added link to screen shots by Jason Klein.

2001-12-12  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * report.cgi: Fix problem in server detail report where the HTML
        tags got out of alignment if a reseller didn't have any domains
        under him/her.

        * FAQ.sgml: Added instructions for SSI.

2001-11-24  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * system.pl: Set umask to 022 since we can't tell what the system
        umask would be.

2001-10-15  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Makefile (bin): Install vm-pop3d instead of gnu-pop3d.

        * kandalaya.schema: Got OID (10941) from IANA and implemented it
        into the schema.  I hope I got it correct this time.

        * INSTALL: Changed instructions for downloading and installing
        vm-pop3d instead of gnu-pop3d.

        * system.pl (doApache): Fixed a potentially serious bug in the
        regexp used when deleting an entry from httpd.conf.  Now the
        regexp will ONLY match lines which contain the EXACT hostname
        specified, not any lines which have sub/supersets of the
        hostname.

        * pop3d: Patched VM-POP3D to accept VishwaKarma authentication.
        Now we have (a) a proper patched POP3 daemon which will allow
        autoconf to run on different platforms, (b) UIDL support and (c)
        support for one or more POP-Before-SMTP schemes since the new POP3
        daemon will output informative lines when a user successfully logs
        in.  GNU-POP3D will be neither supported nor distributed by
        VishwaKarma from now on.

2001-10-04  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Server.config (FPExe): Fix typo in executable name.

2001-09-23  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * addDomain.cgi: Make all empty values into spaces since the ASN1
        encoding on perl-ldap-0.2401 barfs on empty strings.  Or maybe
        it's an LDAP 2.x problem.  Or even with my wonderful schema ;-)

        * system.pl (doQuota): Different setquota invocation syntax for RH
        6.2 and 7.1

        * kandalaya.schema: Created a minimal schema for OpenLDAP 2.x.

        * ISPConfig.pm (ReadConfig): Added configuration variables
        Distribution and DistributionVersion.

2001-09-21  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * INSTALL: Distinguish between Red Hat 6.2 and Red Hat 7.1 install
        process.

        * domainDetails.cgi: Instead of undefining extrastr and extraargs
        make them empty string and list instead.

        * resellerDetails.cgi: Instead of undefining extrastr and
        extraargs make them empty string and list instead.

        * Makefile (WWWHOME): Make HTTPD Document directory configurable
        through a parameter.

2001-07-19  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * report.cgi: Check if explicit domain name has been passed in the
        parameters to the report and use that if it is as the domain.

        * ISPlib.pm (disconnect): Explicitely undefine $ldap otherwise it
        doesn't seem to tear the connection down on exit.

        * changepassword.cgi: Make domain name in Find a Domain a
        clickable link to the domain's menu login.  Add link to domain
        summary by passing explicit domain name.

2001-07-10  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Borders.pm (top): Remove button for Domain detail report.  The
        summary report is detailed enough.  Need to include mailing list
        report -- who's gonna bell the cat?

        * report.cgi: Reports for Reseller summary and detail, Domain
        summary.

2001-07-08  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * report.cgi: Reseller summary report.

        * system.pl: Fix problem with passing 3rd argument to
        Quota::query.

        * ISPConfig.pm: Change default location of Help URL, -do- in
        Server.config.

2001-07-07  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * report.cgi: Fix typo in assigning quotaUsed to variable.  Quotas
        display properly now.

        * Reports.pm (reseller): Change calling form for system.pl with
        --quota argument.  Add --group option for resellers.
        (domain): Change calling form for system.pl with --quota
        argument.

        * system.pl: Change calling sequence for --quota to allow getting
        of group quotas.  Add mandatory action argument (--get).

2001-07-06  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * listMod.cgi: Rename Delete button to the actual name on the
        button (sic!).

        * domainDetails.cgi: Enabled buttons for FrontPage and JSP on
        domain details page.

2001-07-05  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * ISPConfig.pm: More configuration parameters for JSP home,
        location of chown, etc.  Ditto Server.config.

        * system.pl: FP and JSP management are now independent calling
        tasks.

        * subsystem.cgi: Manage FP and JSP through system.pl as
        independent tasks.

        * Borders.pm (top): Print domain menu if in domain, owner/reseller
        menu otherwise.  Earlier it was printing the owner/reseller menu
        in a domain too, which was meaningless.
        
        Uncomment some of the icons (which may not necessarily work right
        now).  Change calling URL for FP and JSP admin and move them to
        domain menu rather than owner/reseller menu.

        * report.cgi: Incorporate server owner summary and detail
        reports.  Seems to work.

        * Makefile: Need to use $$i instead of $i in chmod command *slap
        self on forehead*

2001-06-30  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * addDomain.cgi: Fixed nasty bug in domain modify where we weren't
        trapping messages from doFP (system.pl) causing output to get
        scrambled.

2001-06-14  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * fpinstall.pl: Manual installation of FP for a domain.  Handled
        from within VishwaKarma now.

        * addDomain.cgi: Call system.pl in a pipe and display output from
        that to handle FrontPage password.

        * ISPConfig.pm: Change default value of fpsrvadm.exe.
        Change default path to mkpasswd.

        * system.pl (doFP): Fix to handle FP 4.0 syntax and arguments for
        enabling/disabling FP extensions for domains.

        

2001-06-13  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * listDetails.cgi: Fix test for new list already existing.
        Add display of number of subscribers in list on list display
        page.

2001-06-08  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * owner.cgi, ownerMenu.cgi, changepassword.cgi, Borders.pm: Add
        quick code and icon to enable server owner to find a specific
        domain (owners were not able to figure out which reseller a domain
        was under).

2001-06-07  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Utils.pm: Convert Uppercase to Lowercase in most user inputs.

2001-06-06  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * listDetails.cgi: Change new subscribers address textarea to 10
        rows.
        Warning on Delete list button.

        * domainDetails.cgi: Only check max domains exceeded if adding a
        new domain.

2001-06-04  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * ISPlib.pm (ModifyFile): Make backup copy in /tmp of any file
        changed.

2001-05-27  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * ISPConfig.pm: Add options to control customisation of position,
        appearance/non-appearance of server home, help and package URL's.

        * Borders.pm: Permit customisation of position and
        appearance/non-appearance of server home, help and package URL's.
        Undo last change to showResellerLogo (do not show Owner Logo
        instead).

        * system.pl (Reseller): Create minimal HTML for reseller
        branding when creating reseller.

2001-05-24  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Borders.pm (showResellerLogo): Show owner logo/HTML if reseller
        logo/HTML not available.

2001-05-23  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * domainDetails.cgi, addDomain.cgi: Do not prompt for domain
        owner's home directory anymore, just make it
        /home/reseller/domainowner.

        * userMod.cgi: Seperate call to system.pl to change domain owner's
        password.

        * domainDetails.cgi: Comment out JSP, FrontPage and MySQL stuff in
        domain form until they're implemented and some use.

        * system.pl (doSendmail): killall -1 sendmail after updating
        relaydomains file.
        (doPasswd): Add seperate user flag to change password.  Due to
        changed authentication system system.pl would not be able to auth
        when domain owner password is changed.

        * All CGI's: Replace VishwaKarma with configurable package name.

        * Borders.pm (top): Comment out left border functions which are
        not implemented yet.
        (bottom): Add optional (configurable) link to Package home.

        * Makefile (iconfiles): Copy local icons to icons directory before
        installing.

2001-05-19  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Utils.pm: Eliminate uppercase letters from valid*Chars strings,
        since LDAP binds case-insensitive and other programs have problems
        handling upper-case inputs where the actual ID is lower-case.

2001-05-12  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * addReseller.cgi: Remove ``don't forget to add... to
        /etc/ftpaccess'' message.

        * INSTALL: Change details for customisation of /etc/ftpaccess.
        Use restricted-gid and unrestricted-uid clauses now.

        * system.pl (doDirectories): No need to copy ~ftp/{lib,bin} to
        user's home directory.

2001-04-23  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * All: Clean up all user-submitted parameters through functions in
        Utils.pm.  No spaces in userID's, no shell metacharacters
        permitted, etc.

        * All: Add borders to all CGI's.

        * system.pl: Incorporate list setup and web management using
        rconfig.

        * vk.css: Alignments and colours for tables and other text.

2001-03-26  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Borders.pm: Start work on Icons and all that snazz.  Need to
        update the CSS too.

        * Makefile (LIBRARIES): Add Borders.pm to list of libraries.

2001-03-12  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * system.pl (doApache): Add User and Group to virtualhost
        directive.

2001-01-10  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * system.pl: Add -U switch to #! command line since
        Apache::Session::DB_File was failing on suidperl programs with
        fatal taints enabled.  Sucks, but no option.
        (doDirectories): Change ownership of home directory (in case we
        are dealing with an existing directory from a deleted/re-created
        domain).

2001-01-06  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * Makefile (LIBRARIES): Add new libraries.

        * INSTALL: Instructions to make session lock directory.

        * ISPConfig.pm (ReadConfig): Add config parameters CookiePrefix,
        SessionFile and SessionLockDir.

        * VK.pm: Add get method to VK::LDAP.

2001-01-05  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * VERSION: Check in version 1.1.
        Start version 2.0.

        * INSTALL: Change order of hostMap ACL's in slapd.conf.  The
        original order doesn't work.

2001-01-03  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * system.pl: Change all hardcoded program and directory paths to
        values defined in %Config.

        * ISPConfig.pm (ReadConfig): Add various programs and directories
        needed by system.pl to %Config.  Corresponding changes in
        Server.config.
        Add Hostname (for local host name) and URI's for utility web
        pages.

2000-12-07  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * system.pl (doProcmailrc): Fix so autorespond won't reply to
        mailer-daemon and bouncing addresses in procmailrc.

2000-11-21  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * userMod.cgi: Add check for valid user name.

        * VK.pm: Destructor of class VK::LDAP should check for validity of 
        self -> {LDAP}, not self -> LDAP before trying to destroy it.

        * system.pl (doQuota): Add --reseller flag.  Group quota shall
        only be changed (deleted) if the reseller flag is present.
        Changed call to doQuota in reseller handling to pass --reseller
        flag.

2000-10-31  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * SUPPORT: Added commercial support list.

2000-10-25  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * system.pl ([reseller]): Copy ~ftp/{bin,lib} to reseller home
        directory when creating him so he has restricted FTP access.
        (doProcmailrc): -f flag to sendmail has to have complete address,
        $RECIP1 instead of $RECIP (which is only the user name).

2000-10-22  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * README: Added copyright and license sections.

2000-10-21  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * ISPInfo.pm (getDomainInfo): Change calling parameters to just
        VK::Domain.  Changed other routines to use this calling sequence.

        * INSTALL (Net): Include Crypt::PasswdMD5 in list of Perl modules
        to be installed.

        * userMod.cgi: Use Crypt::PasswdMD5 instead of md5_passwd.pm.

        * changepassword.cgi: Use Crypt::PasswdMD5 instead of
        md5_passwd.pm.

        * addClient.cgi: Use Crypt::PasswdMD5 instead of md5_passwd.pm, of
        which we weren't sure of the license.

        * Makefile (LIBRARIES): Removed md5_passwd.pm from list of
        libraries.

2000-10-20  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * run-webalizer (WA): Use stat to get user ID's instead of ls -l
        since ls -l chops off everything after 8 characters.

        * system.pl (doPasswd): untaint $user and $passwd before sending
        them off to usermod, and use usermod instead of ModifyFile to
        change passwords.  Need to implement usermod path in Server.config
        and ISPConfig.pm.

        * ISPlib.pm (ModifyFile): Don't eval $replace at all.

2000-10-19  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * ISPlib.pm (ModifyFile): Untaint $replace before eval'ing it.

2000-10-16  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * ISPlib.pm: Added feature for logging all successful and
        unsuccessful logins by IP address.

2000-10-14  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * toplevel.cgi: Increased size of scrolling list to 10 lines.

2000-10-08  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * ISPInfo.pm (showOwnerInfo): Display for disk space
        available/used should be GB, not MB.
        (quotaDomain): Cannot afford to get quotas for each domain since
        the fork/exec is too expensive.  Disabled for the time being,
        until I come up with a better way of doing things.

        * Makefile (config): Make system.pl group nobody and only
        executable by root or nobody for some measure of security.
        (config): Do not overwrite existing Server.config, since that may
        contain the new Manager password.

        * ISPlib.pm (multiple places): Remove debugging carp's.
        (multiple places): Removed old code within if ( 0 ) {...}

        * toplevel.cgi: Removed logging of auth information through carp.

        * system.pl (doPasswd): Will work with both MD5 and DES passwords,
        since we added the md5_passwd.pm module.
        (multiple places): Removed old code within if ( 0 ) {...}

2000-10-07  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * system.pl (quota): Use internal quota package to get user
        quotas instead of a fork/exec for /usr/bin/quota.  The Perl Quota
        package seems to handle getting quotas just fine, seems to have
        problems with setting them.
        (doDirectories): Need a space between the ! and the ` in
        procmailrc forward rules, otherwise sendmail barfs.

2000-10-06  Raju Mathur  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

        * toplevel.cgi: Added form to handle changing of Manager's
        password and call changepassword.cgi to actually do it.

        * system.pl (doDirectories): Changed default procmailrc location
        from $HOME/$DOMAIN-mail/.procmailrc to /etc/procmailrcs/$DOMAIN.
        Now procmail will (is supposed to) create user mail files with the
        user as owner, rather than root.  Heh, I hope this works :)
        (doDirectories): procmailrc must contain SHELL = /bin/sh line
        otherwise procmail dies a horrible death.
        (doSendmail): mailertable will now point mail for domain to
        /etc/procmailrcs/$DOMAIN, which doDirectories (above) has set up.
        (main): Incredibly ugly hack to change the Manager password in
        System.config when the manager chooses to change it through the
        web interface.  Reasoning is, system.pl needs to be able to access
        the LDAP database independent of any authentication which has been
        done by the CGI which called it.  If I could figure out a way to
        pass the ldap object from the calling CGI to system, I'd do it
        like a shot -- suggestions, anyone?  Until I can, however, I need
        to be able to bind as God to the LDAP database, which means I need
        to have the LDAP Manager DN and password around in plain-text.
        Yecch and double-Yecch.

        * addClient.cgi: Add code in delete to check if the reseller has
        any domains and refuse to delete if so.

        * Makefile: Add changepassword.pl to MAINMENUPROGS files.

        Do not install slapd.conf as part of install.

        * LOG-NEW.txt: Use RedHat standard /var/lib/ldap directory instead
        of /var/tmp/ldap which we had chosen.

        Add record for dn: cn=Manager,$Config{BaseDN} in MYLDIF so that we
        can change the owner's password with (relative) ease.  See entry
        for changeOwnersPassword and system.pl below.

        Instructions for changing pop3 entry in /etc/inetd.conf.

        Instructions for mkdir /etc/procmaillrcs (see entry for system.pl)

        * ISPInfo.pm: Exported getOwnerInfo, getResellerInfo and
        getDomainInfo instead of the quota functions.  Need
        getResellerInfo to determine number of domains a reseller has and
        refuse to delete if > 0 (addClient.cgi IIRC).

        * ISPlib.pm(changeOwnersPassword): Added sub changeOwnersPassword
        for modifying cn=manager,$Config{BaseDN} userPassword attribute.
        Also call system.pl to change the password in
        /usr/local/vk/etc/Server.config (yecch!) -- this MUST change.
        (connect): Modified the function to check the return code from the
        LDAP bind call for success rather than try to bind and then read a
        record to see if we were successful.

As always, feedback welcome.

Regards,
