httptunnel is a simple program which translates a http connection into a ip tunnel, badly put. :) It can run on lower ports and therefore does not need extra priviledges. As currently installed, the hts(1) and htc(1) daemons run as root. Fix: Here is a patch on httptunnel.sh that would enable hts and htc to run as a defined user. There is nothing here to create the user in itself, and by all means that the user exists. The code to add the user could be taken from another port easily (I could do it, if necessary). I also had to modify the code using $@ for "" escaping-stuff. Patch also intermitantly available at: ftp://anarcat.dyndns.org/pub/FreeBSD/local_patches/httptunnel.sh.patch or http://ftp.anarcat.dyndns.org/pub/FreeBSD/local_patches/httptunnel.sh.patch How-To-Repeat: [install httptunnel via ports/packagse, whatever] /usr/local/etc/rc.d/httptunnel.sh start
I'm sorry, ftp server not really reliable, and bad http url. This is the good one: http://anarcat.dyndns.org/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/local_patches/httptunnel.sh -- Everything is normal. Thus, nothing is.
