NoCat Splash

bmckeller · 01-11-2008, 08:09 AM

I am desperately trying to run NocatSplash on Suse Linux 10.2. The install seemed to go fine, and I set the nocat.conf the way I wanted. When I run splashd however, I get this incessant "Checking peers for expiration" message. What does this mean!!!!!! It will not stop!!!!

Does anybody know why i get this error and where I should look to fix it?

By the way, I'm running NocatSplash 0.92

while you wait for a beter reply<

you had no install errors?

so what version of libglib do you have installed....my punt attempt to d/l a mdv wanted a old libglib 1.2.1.2.10.18

no install errors, and glib is 2.10.4.

yes well I have not installed it, but I am wondering if the certificate relates to this
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/m...ls/gnutls.html

Have you set up your network in suse with The TLS handshake protocol to handle openPGP?

hopefully you can read "man openssl" thru a terminal.

assuming I am right you may want to check the website.

http://openssl.linux-mirror.org/ and maybe if the dox are incomplete posting on the mailing list?

good luck

What it means is that NoCatSplash (splashd) is checking its IPtables to see if anyone that came through the Splash Page has expired. If they have not expired you will see how many seconds they have left remaining before they will need to accept the splash page again to continue accessing the web.

I have not tried it yet on my linux box but I am pretty sure you can run splashd as a service and the messages etc will not be visible in the console.
