mon.cgi + auth

[Eugene Filatov]

Hello!

I just configured mon (mon-0-99-3.39)  for my site and it works well. But
I have problems  with auth trough mon.cgi.

I have default auth.cf with one uncommented line:
* mon monpassword

When I logged in mon.cgi (via http) and made some requests to mon, I got
the following messages from mon:

Jan  5 19:18:50 gw mon[55907]: user '' tried 'reset', not authenticated
Jan  5 19:19:09 gw mon[55907]: user '' tried 'reload', not authenticated
Jan  5 19:20:00 gw mon[55907]: user '' tried 'test', not authenticated

And from mon.cgi:

Could not reload auth mon server on server nss.paco.net:
520 command could not be executed (perhaps you don't have permissions in
auth.cf?)

Please, give me an advise how I can fix this problem? What I did wrong?

Thanks for any ideas.

Eugene.

That looks like an entry for the trap section - the user passwords
go in monusers.cf, in standard Unix encrypted format.  Suggest you
go over the mon manpage again, and read up on monusers.cf and auth.cf.
Remember, auth.cf is just authorization, not authentication.

[PATCH] reload mon configuration automatically

[Christopher R Key]

Jim,
Saw a post that you were beinning to roll 0.99.3..

Here is a short patch that will enable mon to reload/reread the
configuration file whenever it's modification timestamp has changed:

--- mon.origTue Jan  6 15:17:51 2004
+++ mon Tue Jan  6 15:23:51 2004

 $tm = time;

 #
+# For each loop of the main daemon, re-check the
+# config file for changes, reload if necessary
+#
+my $config_file_mod_time = (stat($CF{CF}))[9]; # modification time
+if (length($CF{CONF_MOD_TIME}) == 0) { # not set
+ $CF{CONF_MOD_TIME} = $config_file_mod_time;
+ syslog (notice, reloading config .$CF{CF});
+ reset_server;
+} elseif ($config_file_mod_time  $CF{CONF_MOD_TIME}) {
+ #
+ # If the current mod time of the config file is
+ # greater than the stored config time...
+ #
+ $CF{CONF_MOD_TIME} = $config_file_mod_time;
+ syslog(notice, reloading config .$CF{CF});
+ reset_server;
+}

+#
 # step through the watch groups, decrementing and
 # handing expired timers
