Glad to hear that fwknop is working properly on Ubuntu 11.10 - if you make any patches to make it into and upstart job please send them over. > My question specifically addresses the knockwatchd program.

Is this still included in > the current package? knopwatchd was part of the older perl fwknop distribution, and it wasn't promoted to the current fwknop C release. The reasoning was that there are other programs that are designed for this (such as monit, etc.). However, after thinking about it a bit, with fwknopd potentially deployed on small embedded systems where these other programs might not run, it seems like knopwatchd should be included in the extras/ directory at least. knopwatchd is extremely lightweight, and includes a feature set that is something controlled by the fwknop developers. I'll add it into the extras/ directory for the next release - thanks for the email. The original code should still work too if you want to try it out. You'll need the following files if you check out the code from git: $ git clone http://www.cipherdyne.org/git/fwknop.git perl/legacy/fwknop/Makefile perl/legacy/fwknop/knopwatchd.c perl/legacy/fwknop/fwknop_funcs.c perl/legacy/fwknop/fwknop.h > As a quick followup to some other issues on the mailing list I found > The fwknop client with gpg functionality can be used on windows with a > cygwin installation.

Perhaps I'll try to jump in and help with this, but I'm not much of a Java developer. --Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
