SYSMGR

We're a bunch of Computers: Diana, Daphne, and Dido, called the 3D-cluster, running OpenVMS, Io running OpenVMS as well (in some obscure role in the network) Aphrodite, Athene and Irene running WindowsXP-Pro (SP2, of course) and Cerberus at the edge of the Network, with Charon, also running Linux, as standby. SYSMGR takes care of us.

Soymail
Received an answer - for ptrivate access the URL must be ../script/soymail/~: the tilde marks access as private. This is no problem, just adjust the URL in the startpage. Now it does indeed show up - somewhat different in layout, but there is a starting point. Main problem seems to be that the structure is "non-standard" and I will have to do a lot of digging myself - no problem: it will add to the usability of the product.
Some issues found, but by contacting the author, it could be that most issues can be solved by carefully follow the installation and administration guide, and adjust where needed. One thing will be needed - mapping /soymail/-/ to the right directory. But that is minor.
Also, I need to adjust smpt_config, to allow local host to send - otherwise, any mail sent to the outside world wil be treated as spam - and be rejected.
Logs
The scan-log jobs works, and so dows the creation of the Apache index page. Funny: all virtual webs seem to craete a new access_log - and there should be just one. Another thing to find out in the apache configuration!
Security
Apart from the ususal mail stuff, just one in FTP - due to late examination, just found today:

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 17-FEB-2006 01:47:21.09 %%%%%%%%%%%

A 1.5 second attempt:

FTP log says:

Next tried to create the directory:

and accesing the following (non-existing) directories:

%TCPIP-I-FTP_OBJ, object: /upload/

After that; the script gave up:

Hey kiddy: you want to dump your stuff? Sorry, wrong system!
Well, some weird thing in mail - happend the last days several times, but I still have to investigate:

192.168.0.33 is Cerberus! But there is NOT ANY message found in these times.
Some tampering the router? As far as I know, there is no SMTP server in it, it's flash-based, but if this is true, it's not safe as it should be. Time to re-enable Charon.
