off-the-wall

Smoothwall Express 3.1.....plus some.

Newly added:

• 2015-10-29

  • Added sysstat executables. Will probably (at least) add a drontab interface to show audit data captured by these tools. May morph into RRD graphs, and/or an extension of the pgraphs mod.
  • New Perl Modules
    • MIME::Types
    • MailTools
    • Email::Date::Format
    • MIME::Lite

• 2015-10-02

  • Wireshark without the UI:
    • This is primarily to test a feature that may turn into something more. I had this idea about capturing packets on both the RED+GREEN interfaces, and them merging them into one pcap file for analysis. This is easiler facilitated using tshark (the commandline wireshark utility) and related tools (specifically mergecap).

    • libskba
    • libassuan
  • cracklib (Config WIP!)
  • linux-pam (Config WIP!)
  • ruby -- I find myself scripting with it more and more, it'd just be really handy to have it on SWE.
  • iptraf-ng
  • curl
  • htop
  • Perl Modules
    • Bit::Vector

  * no real reason to keep tracking perl mods that are already included in SWE!

  Version bumps:

  • ntp -> 4.2.8p2
  • glibc -> 2.21
  • httpd -> 2.2.29

  Configuratin changes:

  • Added security HTTP headers to httpd.conf
  • Added encode_entities to header.pm
  • Tweaked SSL configuration based on pull request. (This requires further attention.)
  • git now works with libcurl to allow for git communications over http/s NOTE: That git doesn't know where to access the certificate information in smoothwall, so you must tell it (/usr/lib/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt) or disable sslVerify in your git config.
  • advstatus.cgi now has friendlier, human readable memory stats.

  Other:

  • gdbm is now built in Stage 3 prior to perl, since building perl on Gentoo /demanded/ gdbm. It wouldn't seem to accept any attempts to make it ignore gdbm.
  • Also incorporated some changes that help to tidy up the UI.
  • Most of the UI pages are now "strict-ified". If you don't know what that means, accept it as "cleaner code".

Hoping to add Travis CI build badges.
