Please really check that mail to +the configured domain works. Any bounces will annoy dozends of remailer +operators. + +To send commands to pingd it's best to use the /etc/init.d/echolot script. +It takes care that pingd is only called as the correct user. See pingd(1) for a +list of commands and their description. + +If you run this pinger please consider publishing the results so that other +people benefit from it. Announcing the URL to the remailer operators' list +<remops@freedom.gmsociety.org>, the alt.privacy.anon-server Usenet newsgroup +and sending a mail to pingers@palfrader.org would be apprechiated. + +Since many users installed Echolot without considering its implications the +default setup is now to no longer start the pingd in the default installation. +To actually enable it please modify /etc/default/echolot. + +If you want to run a pinger, please configure /etc/echolot/pingd.conf and +/etc/default/echolot. Then start echolot using /etc/init.d/echolot start +and add some addresses to it: /etc/default/echolot add remailer@example.com. + + -- Peter Palfrader <weasel@debian.org>, Sun, 14 Nov 2004 23:31:24 +0100 |
