Allow the user to equal the node in RSPF checks (this allows spots and +stuff with the origin and spotter to be the same (although it is STRONGLY +recommended that they are NOT!!! [hint hint]). +2. make the send command rather more sensitive to what is allowed. Basically +it will only allow TO addresses that are bull addresses (if not private) or +vaild callsigns (if private). Bull addresses are the ones in +/spider/msg/forward.pl with a 'T' flag on them. If there is no forward +file it will only allow 'ALL' and 'DX' as valid Bull TO addresses. You may +use commas as callsign separators if you like. +02Nov01======================================================================= +1. fixed some Aliasing problems, but this whole area will have to be addressed +more comprehensively. +2. Changed talk logging so that it hopefully is more consistant and maybe even +useful. +3. Altered the mechanism of the personal emailing so that it uses lower level +components and should be therefore available on M$ platforms. You will need +to install a version of libnet (perl -MCPAN -eshell, then install Net::SMTP). +I believe all 5.6.x perls have this built in (ie M$ should have this). If you +are on M$ or you want to use an MTA via SMTP in linux then you need to declare +the dns name of the MTA by: set/var $DXMsg::email_server = 'post.fred.net' +(or whatever the MTA is called). You can also use local programs other than +sendmail by: set/var $DXMsg::email_prog = '/usr/bin/postfix ..' or whatever. +Finally you can alter the 'from' address using: set/var $DXMsg::email_from += 'FBloggs@msn.com' (\@ if you use " and ") - bewarned that you may be +prevented from using just any old address. You can place these commands in +/spider/scripts/startup for permanent use. +01Nov01======================================================================= +1. added information on registration, login scripts and passwords to the +26Oct01======================================================================= +1. If $main::reqreg = 1 then set/register will allow 'registered' users +full access, if $main::reqreg = 2 then registered users will be 'read-only' +(ie the opposite). If $main::reqreg = 0 then registration and its effects +are disabled. +25Oct01======================================================================= +1. added unset/password command to allow sysops (only) to completely delete +and remove a user's password. +2. make 'read' increment the 'no of times read' for all messages. +3. give a read receipt for everybody that reads a message so marked. +4. enhance set/email so that if you set email address(es) with this command +it will send any messages to your callsign as they come in. unset/email +will disable forwarding. +24Oct01======================================================================= +1. added (un)set/register, show/registered commands which when a 'set/var +$main::reqreg = 1' is done in the startup script will require users to +be 'registered' in order for them to have 'write' access to the node. Non- +registered users will only be allowed to TALK or SEND PRIVATE to the cluster +sysop callsign. +2. Added password interrogation to the ExtMsg connections. If a user comes +in via telnet and this is being done with the internal listener and a pass- +word has been set for that user - he will be asked for it. You can force +a password interrogation (for ALL users) with a 'set/var $main::passwdreq = 1' +in the node's startup script. It is anticipated that if you are using +registration you will also issue passwords to those registered users. +3. set/password has been changed so that users already with passwords can +change them. +4. A non-registered user will get the /spider/data/motd_nor file instead of +the motd on login. +5. made the BadWord regexes slightly less aggressive WARNING this may let +some constructions thru, but hopefully will also allow more legitimate +foreign (mainly) things thru as well. +19Oct01======================================================================= +1. Allow DELETE (0x7f) for backspace in console.pl +2. redo prefix table using latest cty.dat +14Oct01======================================================================= +1. Add the shortform SH/ST like display to sh/user to make it more +AK1A compatible (G0RDI+G4PDQ pace). +12Oct01======================================================================= +1. make del nnn delete messages again (fix system Aliases file) +2. substr the subject so that the dup works for stuff coming back via AK1A +09Oct01======================================================================= +1. change Aliases to allow shutdown as a command again. If you have changed +/spider/cmd/Aliases and you update from CVS you may find it better to remove +this file and then do another 'cvs update'. Otherwise you may get conflicts +and the Aliase file will not load properly. The cvs update will recreate +the (now) missing file. +2. Remove the 'please don't use XXXX on here' messages to prevent people +from exploring the 'bad words space'. Three bad words will still disconnect +without warning. +3. Sending dx spots/announces with bad words will succeed - but only back to +the sender. These two mods are designed to annoy the perpitrators of the +sort of filth as much as possible whilst not inconveniencing 'normal' users. +4. Add expunge feature to kill. Deleting messages now marks a msg for +deletion two days hence. To have the old behaviour, do a 'kill exp' or use +the standard alias "expunge". This will cause the message to be deleted at +the next queue message cycle. +5. Put in prototype echo handling for direct connections using ExtMsg and +Listeners.pm. +6. fix msgs to g1tlh-2 (as opposed to g1tlh) +04Oct01======================================================================= +1. allow a residence time of (default) 2 days before actually deleting a msg. +2. reduce the number R: lines on a bull from a bbs to 2 (the origin and the +last port of call). +3. ignore deleted messages for queuing purposes +4. store deleted status across restarts! +5. make callsign checking more rigorous +6. dup check PC49 (kill full) +7. improved the regex matching of badwords (more efficient, better coverage) +8. added default badword and badw_regex tables (as .issue files) which will +activate unless there is one there already. It will NOT overwrite an existing +file - so if you change it your changes will remain intact. +03Oct01======================================================================= +1. don't allow @WWW to become a 'TO' field... +2. handle @gb7tlh.#35.eu type addresses as well +02Oct01======================================================================= +1. fixed the 'ever lengthening msg' syndrome and probably made the whole +thing more reliable at the same time. +2. do some restructuring of the msg system and upissue the version no. +3. fix @xxxx syntax for bbs input +01Oct01======================================================================= +1. made login info not the default +2. change the looping protoection for PC16/17/19/21 and also be more rigorous +in who we accept which PC16/17/21's from. +3. fix MAJOR disconnect bug introduced accidentally in the NP work. +4. Try each badword with an S on the end as well and also check for 'f.u c' +type things as well (this only works for a few wellknown english ones). +5. Go back to the old way of caching commands (but without the silly warnings +because I know better what I am doing now). This allows symbolic debugging +of commands again without coredumps. Hurrah! +6. Add badword handling for messages. Users will get rude messages back if +they try to send naughty words in msgs. Incoming messages with badwords will +be dropped on receipt and their contents logged. +7. and if you swear 3 or more times you are unceremoniously logged out. +30Sep01======================================================================= +1. made some small bug fixes in rspf checking and also messages. +23Sep01======================================================================= +1. I have incorporated Steve's (K9AN) lastest sh/sun and sh/moon stuff which +copes much better with some of the end effects that occur in these calc- +ulations. You can now also see up to a year into the past or future. The +results compare favourably with the US Naval Obs (unlike certain other +software's output which "I would not want to use their results to aim my +moon rocket..."). It also fixes some ambiguity about which day the results +are actually for. +21Sep01======================================================================= +1. fix set/lockout so that it is possible to lock out all SSIDs except those +specifically unlocked and so that you don't need to lock the non-SSID call in +order to lock an SSID call. So set/lock g1tlh will lock out all instances of +g1tlh, g1tlh-1, g1tlh-15 etc except (for instance) unset/lock g1tlh-9. +2. show/lock allows partial callsign matching so sh/lock gb7 will only show +GB7* calls that are locked. +3. Had a grand shift around for the start of NP. +19Sep01======================================================================= +1. put in some rudimentory rsfp checking for various things +2. tried to do some fixes on console.pl - YOU WILL REQUIRE Curses 1.06 from +CPAN (perl -MCPAN -eshell, then at cpan> install Curses). +17Sep01======================================================================= +1. Fixed help and apropos commands so that they default to english if +the language is not english and help in the 'not english' language isn't +available. +2. added some help text for sh/newc. +15Sep01======================================================================= +1. released 1.48 +2. found 1st bug, fixed unset/logininfo reseting itself after logout +14Sep01======================================================================= +1. added the start of script files on login/startup. You can now add +commands (for example to set variables) to a file called +/spider/scripts/startup. You can also put in scripts for a callsign which +will be executed when that callsign logs on. A sample script is in the +directory (you did remember to do cvs update -d?). User settable versions +of this will happen when the general mechanism for doing that is available. +2. Added set/unset/anntalk commands. If you unset/anntalk then you will +no longer see many of the of talk like announces. Unfortunately you may +miss the odd useful one as well (but since everything is repeated many times +you probably won't :-) +3. centralise the invalid callsign check so that g1tlh1 and similar calls +will not be allowed to login anymore. +4. Fiddle with the lockout mechanism so that set/login g1tlh also locks out +g1tlh-1 -> g1tlh-15 UNLESS one of these is specifically unlocked. +5. Make sh/log only show stuff that sh/ann, sh/talk, sh/rcmd doesn't. +6. Make the scripts look for user and node_default files if there isn't a +more specific one. +7. add the blank command which prints nn blank lines (default 1), this cmd +can also print lines of characters: see help for examples. +13Sep01======================================================================= +1. did some work on making talk more intelligent and fixed a>b problem. +2. fixed a nasty problem on input when being hit with full buffers of +data (eg at init time with large lists of node/users on fast links). +3. fixed realtime input filter changing. +4. added announce->talk conversion for routable calls when announces of the +form 'to g1tlh hello', 't g1tlh hello' or 'g1tlh hello' appear. +This also suppresses similar announces for users whose callsign is not the +one in the announce. +5. Change the badwords interface to be the same as baddx, badspotter et al. +added set/badword, unset/badword and show/badword. This routine will auto +convert (and delete afterwards) the old badwords file. +6. fix intermittant bullitin mail forwarding? +11Sep01======================================================================= +1. added IP address logging of connections +10Sep01======================================================================= +1. clear/* node_default and user_default now work. +2. in acc or rej/* you can now use (comma separated) prefixes as well as lists +of numbers for things like *_dxcc, *_itu and *_cq (eg: by_dxcc ve,w); just +remember that countries like ve and w have lots of zones and itus! +3. Added all the clear/* commands to help and added some comments about 2. +4. All filters (including *_default ones) are now reinstalled on channels in +realtime, so changing a filter does NOT require a disconnect and reconnect +cycle anymore. +09Sep01======================================================================= +1. Add show/dxstats command +2. Add show/hfstats command +3. Add show/vhfstats command +4. Add show/hftable command +5. Add show/vhftable command (BE WARNED, the first time you run one of these +commands it will take some considerable time to complete, thereafter it will +be a lot faster). +08Sep01======================================================================= +1. Update the sgml docs on filtering a bit. +06Sep01======================================================================= +1. prevent nodes appearing as users from incoming PC16s +2. Change ping averaging to be like TCP and become a smoothed RTT. +3. Make all the Prompts in stat/* like output appear in alphebetical order +4. Fix problem with 17m spots not appearing in sh/dx +5. pump up eph dups everytime they re-occur and increase life to 180 secs +04Sep01======================================================================= +1. add delete/user command +03Sep01======================================================================= +1. make spot dups look back 5 mins. +2. strip the top off each character in any text field of a Spot for duping. +3. Try to make the routing tables more accurate for users that login to +more than one node. +4. Make PC50s come out in one heap on all channels every 14 mins, instead of +on the 14th minute in the connection time for each channel. This should +reduce (slightly) the dups that are dumped. +5. Speed up input queue processing (a lot). +6. make set/isolate and acc/route mutually exclusive (and issue appropriate +error messages) and fix set/iso on PC18 input. +7. Improve stat/route_node and stat/route_user for diagnostics. +8. strip top bit of comments in ann/spots. +9. fix the announce filtering problem. +10. Fix the double announcement of node disconnections? +01Sep01======================================================================= +1. Change build number calc (hopefully for the last time) +27Aug01======================================================================= +1. make rej/wwv and rej/wcy work +26Aug01======================================================================= +1. make all newly learned nodes locked out by default. +2. add lock_nodes.pl which locks out all the nodes in the user file whose +privilege is 1 or less and which isn't mentioned as an argument to the +command on the command line. +3. make set/node, set/spider and their friends unlock a node as well as make +them one. +4. Make sh/log et al more efficient / less memory hungry (and the display +the correct way round!) +24Aug01======================================================================= +1. Allow badmsg to reject on interface callsign ('I') +20Aug01======================================================================= +1. protect against PC41s with field[3] == field[2] +2. Redo Julian stuff as proper objects +3. Make the various Log display come out forwards instead of backwards +4. Add the dbgclean routine to system cron to clear out all debug files +more then 10 days old. +19Aug01======================================================================= +1. Fix rcmds +2. make isolation when there are no filters present work again? +3. dup check PC16/17/19/21 ! +17Aug01======================================================================= +1. Sort out PC41 handling to include type 5 records for QRA locators and also +remove all filtering (but retain ephemeral dup checking). +2. Improve format checking in latlong and qra locators. +3. Sort sh/st so that sh/st by itself displays only the local call not the +whole lot (all 17000+ users records in my case). SH/ST ALL does this. +16Aug01======================================================================= +1. send a forward/opernam for a logged in user once a month (when they next +login). +2. rearrange rcmd stuff to be more maintainable and also be certain that +they are translated in both directions correctly for clx and ak1a style. +3. Allow PC41s to be propagated and hope that the ephemeral dup filters +do their job! +15Aug01======================================================================= +1. fix problem with talks not coming out anymore +13Aug01======================================================================= +1. fixed problem of dxspots not being echoed back to spotter (announces too) 02Aug01======================================================================= 1. correct manual and help references on accept/route and reject/route.
