- 08:21, 1 February 2023 Security (hist | edit) [2,558 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Security== From version 1.49 DXSpider has some additional security features. These are not by any means meant to be exhaustive, however they do afford some security against piracy. These two new features can be used independently of each other or in concert to tighten the security. ===Registration=== The basic principle of registration is simple. If a user is not registered by the sysop, then they have read-only access to the cluster. The only thing they can act...")

For an example try http://www.gb7mbc.net/mrtg/stats.html. The following should help you get it all working. First you need to download the latest version of MRTG from http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/. You will also need the following files.. libpng-1.0.14.tar.gz zlib-1.1.4.tar....")

This is a neat little java web applet that can be run from a website. The applet must run on the same machine as the cluster. The included README file is shown below. I should comment here that the applet is precompiled, that is, ready to go. It was compiled using JDK1.3.1. If your version is earlier than this then it may not work. Should that be the case you need to recompile or update your J...")
- 08:19, 1 February 2023 Information, files and useful programs (hist | edit) [10,260 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Information, files and useful programs== ===MOTD=== One of the more important things a cluster sysop needs to do is to get information to his users. The simplest way to do this is to have a banner that is sent to the user on login. This is know as a "message of the day" or "motd". To set this up, simply create a file in /spider/data called motd and edit it to say whatever you want. It is purely a text file and will be sent automatically to anyone logging in to th...")
- 08:19, 1 February 2023 Databases (hist | edit) [2,902 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Databases== Spider allows the creation of local or remote databases. It supports chained databases, allowing several different databases to be scanned with one simple command. Importing of databases is limited at present to the standard AK1A databases such as OBLAST and the DB0SDX QSL database but will expand with time. ===Creating databases=== Creating a database could not be more simple. All the commands are sent from the cluster prompt as the sysop user. To c...")

The directory /spider/scripts is where it all happens and is used for several things. Firstly it contains a file called startup that can be used to call in any changes to the cluster from the default settings on startup. This script is executed immediately after all initialisation of the node is done but before any connections are possible...")

Rename this to badmsg.pl and edit the file. The original looks something like this .... # the list of regexes for messages that we won't store having # received them (bear in mind that we must receive them fully before # we can bin them) The format of each line is as follows # type source pattern # P/B/F T/F/O/S...")
- 08:14, 1 February 2023 Routing and Filtering (hist | edit) [18,500 bytes] G0vgs (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Introduction== From DXSpider version 1.48, major changes were introduced to the way node connections are treated. This is part of an ongoing process to remove problems with loops and to enable talk and other functions to propagate across the whole of the worldwide cluster network. In fact, in a Spider network, it would be useful, perhaps even necessary to have loops. This would give real resilience to the network, meaning that if a link dropped, the information flo...")

The messages are warnings and can be safely ignored. They happen because Unix systems have these error condition names as synonyms for another error. Windows does not have them and so it complains about it on startup. The warnings are entirely benign.")
