Could you rate-limit the system to 'n' submissions 
from a given email address in a given unit of time?
That won't stop someone from creating 30
Hotmail accounts and posting 30*n PRs, 
but anyone that bored and with that much 
time on their hands is basically unstoppable 
without human intervention anyway.

:-)  ... that seems a given, but it might at least take some
of that extra time away from the submit button and
put it into reading/typing in auth codes instead..

How 'bout cookieing them...

While I understand the reason for this, keep in mind that if you make this too
complicated, you'll never get any bug reports.

 Or you could consider helping find a way to re-enable
 the www to send-pr while preventing script kiddies from
 abusing it.
 
 Why not have a pr-moderator for each category (i386, kern, doc, etc), who
 approves each incoming PR.  Basically this person would act as a front-line
 defense against spammers, but it would also allow them to assign PRs to
 developers as they are submitted, rather than letting them sit in the PR
 database for weeks/months before anyone picks them up.
 
  I believe something like this is being considered.

 Have you considered a 'confirmation' system that sends mail back to the
 originator for confirmation before actually submitting the PR?

 This way, if someone does manage to spam the GNATS database, we'll have
 their email address and can officially complain.

 Most ISPs would have
 such abuse be grounds for cancelling their account.

That is exactly what would happen at this ISP :o)

that your ISP doesn't provide DNS information via DHCP.  I've

What are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf?  You can always

Not really.  Not without making large changes to the way gnats works.
I'm not against enabling it again, but it'll take a bit of work before
it's safe to open such an easy way to fill the gnats database with
bogus PRs again.

 I've been waiting for this to get fixed to submit two ports and the
 ports guys did changes to the ports tree in the meantime :(.

You can always use send-pr(1).

 I know . send-pr(1), but
 1) I've been unable to make ppp resolv any address.

This is not enough information about send-pr(1) or about 'ppp' to help
you.  You should provide more details about *everything* that is
relevant to your mta setup and the way send-pr(1) fails before someone
steps up and helps you configure your system correctly for posting mail
(this is all that is needed for send-pr(1) to work).

Besides, you can always use send-pr(1) as a tool that spits out a
template for a new bug-report, which you later edit and post with the
mailer of your choise to [EMAIL PROTECTED].

 2) I hate vi and don't want to learn it.

That's easy to 'fix'.  Just install an editor that you like from the
ports and set your EDITOR environment variable correctly.

I'm writing this message in GNU Emacs 21.2.1 which I installed from
the ports.  I have set my EDITOR environment variable to:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/giorgos$ grep EDITOR .bashrc
export EDITOR=${HOME}/bin/edit

The 'edit' shell script in my ~/bin sets up locale stuff to let me
write Greek and attempts to fire up a range of editors, terminating
when one of them succeeds:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/giorgos$ more ~/bin/edit
#!/bin/sh
# $RCS: scripts/edit,v 1.2 2002/12/05 23:18:33 keramida Exp $

# First clear off any locale related environment vars.
__junk=
unset __junk `env | sed -n -E '/^(LANG|LC_[A-Z]+)=.*$/ s/=.*$//p'`

# Then set the preferred locale variables for Greek text.
export LANG=C
export LC_COLLATE=el_GR.ISO8859-7
export LC_CTYPE=el_GR.ISO8859-7

# Finally try to fire up some editing program.
# The first one that works will terminate this script.
test -x /usr/local/bin/emacs   exec /usr/local/bin/emacs $@
test -x /usr/bin/emacs exec /usr/bin/emacs $@
test -x /usr/local/bin/vim exec /usr/local/bin/vim $@
test -x /usr/bin/vim   exec /usr/bin/vim $@
test -x /usr/bin/viexec /usr/bin/vi $@
test -x /bin/edexec /bin/ed $@

# Fail, if we can't exec *any* sort of editing program.
exit 1

To make a long story short, if you don't like vi(1) don't use it.

If you really have a problem submitting new ports, send them per e-mail

After that, I submit them under your name.

Sure it does.  The manpage of ppp(8) includes:

 8.   Ask your ISP to authenticate your nameserver address(es) with
  the line

enable dns

  Do NOT do this if you are running a local DNS unless you
  also either use ``resolv readonly'' or have ``resolv
  restore'' in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown, as ppp will simply
  circumvent its use by entering some nameserver lines in
  /etc/resolv.conf.

 Sure it does.  The manpage of ppp(8) includes:
 
  8.   Ask your ISP to authenticate your
 nameserver address(es) with
   the line
 
 enable dns
 

I did this, and I'm not running named. 

Thanks to Alexey's hints I found the values I needed
though.

thanks,

Pedro.

OK, I'm screwed :(. It's difficult to find committers interested 
in my ports (math/cad stuff) anyway. I guess I'll just keep'em for 
myself for some more time.
Or you could consider helping find a way to re-enable the www to 
send-pr while preventing script kiddies from abusing it.
Why not have a pr-moderator for each category (i386, kern, doc, 
etc), who approves each incoming PR.  Basically this person would act 
as a front-line defense against spammers, but it would also allow 
them to assign PRs to developers as they are submitted, rather than 
letting them sit in the PR database for weeks/months before anyone 
picks them up.

I've never submitted a pr, but I've written scripts for bulk web 
submissions (GET and POST for load testing web apps).   Did the 
previous web pr-interface have any sort of verification process? (e.g. 
email to submitter)  Were there any sanity checks?  (e.g. no more than 
X pr's per Y time)

Where would I look to find the *old* web pr interface?
In the CVS tree, of course.  Specifically www/en/cgi/dosendpr.cgi.  If 
you don't have a local copy of the source or can't use CVS, you can use 
cvsweb:

ppp (was Re: The web-based bug interface is currently disabled.)

2003-03-02 Thread Pedro F. Giffuni
This definitely worked! It's too slow, maybe cause I
left enable dns, I'll get it working fine.

Thanks Alexey!

Pedro.

  What version of mustdie you use?
  if 95/98 try to run WINIPCFG.EXE while in connect
 to ISP... as i can
  remember it show's current dns-server
  or if it's NT just run nslookup ;) may be it's also
 exists on 95/98
  than just write down this ip in resolv.cfg
  and remove enable dns from ppp.conf

The web-based bug interface is currently disabled.

2003-03-01 Thread Pedro F. Giffuni
Hi guys;

Any chance that http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html
will be fixed, or FreeBSD dislikes feedback??

I've been waiting for this to get fixed to submit two
ports and the ports guys did changes to the ports tree
in the meantime :(.

I know . send-pr(1), but
1) I've been unable to make ppp resolv any address.
2) I hate vi and don't want to learn it.

cheers,

Pedro.

It was disabled because it was being abused by a juvenile who was
spamming the GNATS DB with bogus PRs.

Talk to the www team about the status of changes needed before it can
be safely re-activated.

Use your ISP's SMTP gateway.

2) I hate vi and don't want to learn it.
So?  Set your EDITOR environment variable to whatever you prefer and 
you won't have to deal with vi.
