rdesktop-open

rdesktop-open.py is a python script that I use as a graphical frontend to RDesktop, a great RDP client for Linux.

It's not elaborate, but it gets the job. The 'Request License' feature of rdesktop seems to be gone with version 1.2. I will have a new version out soon to cope with this, but in the mean time leave the button checked when using rdesktop-open. If anyone has a patch to fix this I will gladly apply it here for everyone else.

Changes with version 1.6 (02/04/2003):

Bugfix: Fixed a problem that prevented rdesktop being launched.

Changes with version 1.5 (02/02/2003):

Feature: New optional input field for password entry.
Feature: Checkboxes for "Fullscreen" and "Request License".
Etc: A complete code cleanup. Things are a bit less messy now.

Changes with version 1.4:

Bugfix: A .rdesktop-open file is no longer required to be in your home directory.
Bugfix: Save works now even when a resolution is not selected.

checkpassword-noroot

checkpassword-noroot is is a patch for the checkpassword program. By default, the checkpassword program allows root's password to be verified. I did not want my pop3 users to be able to try to check root's password, so I wrote this tiny (literally 2 line) patch for checkpassword that exits immediately if the username is root.

vadduser-tmda

This is a script to help with setting up TMDA on vpopmail accounts.

vadduser-tmda is now distributed in the contrib/ directory of the TMDA source, beginning with version 0.70.

The latest version of the script can be downloaded separate via the TMDA Subversion repository here.

Installation instructions are in included in the top of the vadduser-tmda file.

Adjust the variables at the top of the vadduser-tmda script to suit your site. The vtmdarc file is used for any site specific variables that you want to go into every vpopmail users .tmda/config file. You can use any of the variables that are declared in the vadduser-tmda script ($VUSERDIR, $VDOMDIR, etc) to help customize things. Otherwise it looks exactly like a standard .tmda/config file.

Call the vadduser-tmda script exactly as you would call vadduser, using all the same command line switches. Everything I have tested with it so far seems to work, but I am certain there are things that need to be fixed. Please let me know if you find something that isn't correct.

Here is a complete list of variables available to etc/vtmdarc:

$EMAILADDR - the address to be created as passed to vadduser
$TMDAROOT - the path to the TMDA installation (/usr/local/tmda)
$VPOPROOT - the path to the vpopmail installation (/var/vpopmail)
$VUSERDIR - the virtual users home directory
$VUSERNAME - everything before the @ in the email address
$VDOMAIN - everything after the @ in the email address
$VDOMDIR - the virtual domain's vpopmail directory

Please send any bug reports to cwright at standblue . net

spamchart-report.py

spamchart-report.py is a script for use with Joe Stump's SpamChart Project. Instructions and usage are listed in the top of the file, but here they are anyway for reference:

    -s
    --stdout
       Print the message to standard output after reporting.  Note that
       in spamchart-report.py the default is to *not* print anything.

    -d
    --debug
       Print debugging information about what would have been done, but
       do not really perform any updates.

    -u
    --url
       What URL to use when submitting information.  The URL must take
       three parameters:

          score        -- the value of 'hits=' in X-Spam-Status
          threshold    -- the value of 'required=' in X-Spam-Status
          size         -- the size of the message

       The default URL is http://zebulon.miester.org/spam/report.php
