Linux repeater version 0.13

[Jariko]

Hello all,

Just before easter I released version 0.13 and then confused my mbnet homepages access rights with gftp. Oh, well...

Anyway, now mbnet is back and version 0.13 is available. Changelog:

ver 0.13 (Fri Apr 14, 2006):
-Has a new "events" interface. With this, repeater is able to connect to a "event-listener" machine somewhere in network and
send information about various events. These are:
-VIEWER_CONNECT / VIEWER DISCONNECT: Viewer has connected to / broken connection to repeater
-SERVER_CONNECT / SERVER DISCONNECT: Server has connected to / broken connection to repeater
-VIEWER_SERVER_SESSION_START / VIEWER_SERVER_SESSION_END: Vnc session between viewer/server has started/ended
-REPEATER_STARTUP: Repeater has just started
-REPEATER_SHUTDOWN: Repeater has just closed down
-REPEATER_HEARTBEAT: Repeater sends this every 90 seconds to signal "I'm alive and all is well"
-Has a reference implementation of "event listener" made with Java, runs (at least) in Windows / Linux. Look directory "eventlistener". compile with: "javac EventListener.java", run with "java EventListener".
-Event interface message format can be seen in file repeaterevents.cpp
-ini- file has new [eventinterface] section for settings events hostname/address, port etc. and if "events" interface
is used
-ini- file setting "listeneripaddress" is renamed to "ownipaddress"


Because everybody loves screenshots, here is one showing Java event-listener running on Windows Xp listening to "events" from Linux repeater:

Great,

Good work, the repeater is becoming more and more mature.

Hi, does the linux repeater support viewer and server using SSL tunnel (vncviewer_ssl.exe, SCIII_test4.exe) ?
If not will support be added for this?

I now use distributor5.exe running from a BartPE CD as a repeater.
This is running fine, but does not give any feedback and so...
I'm thinking of running the repeater on linux, so I can write a few php pages around it for statistics and stuff...

Regards,
Bart.

Hi Bart,

I have tried to get ssl mode working in Linux, so far to no avail.

Viewer_ssl and sc_test4/5 connect to my buggy version just fine and ssl handshake seems to go well, but repeater tunnel so far just is very silent indeed

OK, do you have the distributor5.exe source code to compare with?

Yeah, I have it. However, I tried to be clever and use openssl instead of matrixssl (I thought that openssl is in every linux distro anyway, so it would be easy for folks, just adding -lssl to linker command line). Openssl is good and works well but is obviously a little bit different from matrixssl.

Linux repeater is also fundamentally quite different from windows repeater (windows version is multithreaded throughout, Linux version tries to do mostly with select() and uses fork() sparingly), so things don't always port that smoothly.

However, I hope I will figure it out soon.

I am really not a java guru, so I don't understand this messages, ... Do you have a solution?

Best regards and thank you for qour great job

Hi,

using gcj (or older than version 1.5 of javac) ? I had the same problem with gcj but did not worry because it compiled and ran fine with 1.5 version of sun java (I'm sure I did something stupid in my code, I don't really understand Java that much).

Hello Jari,

Did you have time to work on ssl on the linux repeater ?

I'm very interested by this feature

modification by [user=9267][/user]
added: https port TCP 443

hope their update based on repeater_linux 0.13 from Jariko and not lower

[redge]

to add to repeater_linux
dyn:5500 -dynhost uvnc.com:5912 -dynname mytestname

Thank you Jari!
I compiled the linux repeater vs. 0.14 easily on suse 10.0 and it works great!
Good work!

Ps.: i added the user uvncrep and removed it from the users group (and added it to nogroup-group).
