This is my second attempt to forward this announcement to the Leaf User list -- the first one is being held for moderation and my experience with this list is that posts held for moderation sit for a week and then are rejected without comment....
-Tom -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Shorewall-users] WebGUI Scripts announcement Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2005 16:25:58 +0100 From: Andrea Galmacci - awd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Mailing List for Shorewall Users <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Shorewall Users Mailing List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Dear Shorewall Users, having noticed that the request for a WebGUI is growing, after a very short conversation I've had with Tom, I'd like to let you all evaluate the Web interface to Shorewall I've written, integrating the original weblet package made available for the LRP project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preamble Thank you Tom for every nice thing - Shorewall included - you have taugth and given us ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Features (or limitations: it depends on your point of view...) * the GUI is made of shell scripts -- no other programming language, no extra software to install (well, system utilities only) * runs on almost any httpd server - tested on many LRP specific servers such as sh-httpd (shell based as well), mini-httpd, thttpd, and - of course - apache * the web server doesn't need to be root in order to get write privileges to Shorewall files * .htaccess ready * edit Shorewall main configuration files, executes Shorewall commands (start, stop, restart, status, ...) * shows system/Shorewall logs * multi-language ready (english/italian) * IE/Firefox compatible Hosting system prerequisites (besides Shorewall specifics) * sudo utility (usually part of all distro, anyhow available at http://www.courtesan.com/sudo/) Curious enough? URL: http://62.110.196.251 User: awdwall Password: gogetit Any comments, critics, suggestions, opinions are more than welcome. Support Please don't even think I'll be able to react to your requests/bug reports as 'someone' ;-) else does (altough I'll try to do the best my competence - and the time available - will allow). I'm not a real guru and most of what I've done to make those script working - starting from the basic knowledge of *nix - is self-taught so please put into consideration a good profusion of patience from your side -- this is my first open source experience. Actions What you'll play with is a stable 1.4.2 code installed over a Bering 1.2 distro an mounted on a embedded system -- activities are undergoing to move the code to a 'full' distro (now testing on a RH 9 with standard RPMs). I think that after Tom stated that Shorewall will remain pretty stable in terms of structure for a reasonable long period of time, there are good chaches to make the script compatible with the current release. Depending on the number of requests I will receive, the package will be made available to the Shorewall community under the GNU GPL license -- expected release date: Mar 31, 2005 That's all, folks! Have a nice day, Andrea Galmacci _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list Post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: https://lists.shorewall.net/mailman/listinfo/shorewall-users Support: http://www.shorewall.net/support.htm FAQ: http://www.shorewall.net/FAQ.htm -- Tom Eastep \ Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool Shoreline, \ http://shorewall.net Washington USA \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public Key \ https://lists.shorewall.net/teastep.pgp.key ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
