- Fixes an error representing bandwidth allotment, usage, and remaining.
- Fixes an error in the init.d file for the admin server daemon.

- Adds SSH port specification and SSH daemon management to all managed servers.

Web Domain Manager is a PHP based product to add in a new domain to a server, by just filling out the domain name and putting in the ip, username, and password it will setup the new domain on the server by doing the following:
- Adding the config to Apache
- Adding a new user to the system for FTP Access
- Copying over a default site if you have one available
- Adding the domain into Qmail/vpopmail if you want that setup
- Makes the config file for awstats
- Also makes a file you can add into cron to update awstats automaticly
- Restarts apache with the new config
- Runs from cron every minute to make adding the domains near real time
The Script is made up of two parts, the backend script (AddDomainScript-0.05) which runs from cron every minute and adds any new domains that need added.
And then you need a front end script, I am going to have three of them, One for a administrator, One for a Reseller, and one where a customer could signup on your website.
If you have more than one webserver you just need a copy of the backend script running from each of those servers and it will check a central database for the updates so you can control an unlimited amount of server from just one frontend script, so administrating your servers is all done from one page!

OpenDomains is a Web application that will help you provide a domain redirection service. It is easy to install and use. It allows other people to register for subdomains in your own domain.

The subdomain will then redirect visitors to a site of the users choice. OpenDomains features URL cloaking, path forwarding, meta tag support, and detailed statistics.

DNS Domain Expiration Check is a utility for checking DNS domain expiration dates.

domain-check queries WHOIS data in realtime, and can be integrated with cron to provide e-mail notifications prior to a domain expiring.

The first example will print the expiration date and registrar for daemons.net:

$ domain-check.sh -d daemons.net

Domain Registrar Status Expires Days Left
----------------------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- ---------
daemons.net INTERCOSMOS MEDIA Valid 13-feb-2006 64


The second example prints the expiration date and registrar for the domains listed in the file "domains":

$ domain-check.sh -f domains

Domain Registrar Status Expires Days Left
----------------------------------- ----------------- -------- ----------- ---------
sun.com NETWORK SOLUTIONS Valid 20-mar-2010 1560
google.com EMARKMONITOR INC. Valid 14-sep-2011 2103
daemons.net INTERCOSMOS MEDIA Valid 13-feb-2006 64
spotch.com GANDI Valid 03-dec-2006 357


The third example will e-mail the address admin@daemons.net with the domains that will expire in 60-days or less:

$ domain-check -a -f domains -q -x 60 -e admin@daemons.net

Hosting Backup provides a set of scripts for backing up your hosted Web sites.
Hosting Backup is a set if PHP command line scripts that provides an easy way to backup hosted Web sites to your local computer. It works with sites hosted on Linux servers with MySQL databases using FTP.
HostingBackup uses lftp (http://lftp.yar.ru/) to download all the files from your remote server.
HostingBackup uses rc4 encryption, so you do not need to have PHP compiled with mcrypt.
HostingBackup is tested on Linux local computer with PHP 4.3.x and lftp 3.0.x.
The remote component will manage some operations like optimization and dump of MySQL databases.
The local component will manage the execution of backups and other utilities like the generation of crypted passwords and the automatic installation of the remote component.
To allow an easy way to backup all hosted MySQL databases we store the main password for the account directly on the remote server, crypted with rc4.
When we call the dump script we pass the decrypt key.
To catch the login data an hacker should read the crypted password written on the server and intercept the key on the net.
Enhancements:
- Add: "--comments=false" to mysqldump
- Add: "set FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;" to mysqldump
- Add: "--add-drop-table" to mysqldump

Sendmail Confirmation System is an Sendmail milter plugin that is designed to reduce the amount of junk email received. SMC uses a dynamic local and DNS based remote "whitelists" (for known/trusted senders), DNS based "blacklists" (for undesired senders), and an original "autoauthentication" system (for unknown, but legitimate senders). In additional SMC has a set of useful features which allows to preserve mail recipients from dangerous message attachments, HTML includes. SMC is an Sendmail tm milter (plugin), which stops the junk mail messages without receiving one.
SMC uses 3 original algorithms, one of which is "Check relay by NS" simulates a dynamical whitelist and will always accept the messages from mail systems satisfying to following conditions:
1) Mail domain name (the host part of the senders e-mail address) must have an MX records;
2) Mail domain name and the connection host address must be resolved;
3) Connection host must be listed at the one of nameservers which hold the senders mail domain name.
The second from the developed algorithms is a "check delays" algorithm which is based on statistical check of delivery delays, generated by a [tempfail] return code, that allows to exclude a direct receiving of a mail, which not passed through the standard mail server.
NOTE: Using this feature the delivery of the mail from unknown, but legitimate senders will be delayed for a count of 5-minutes checks, which setted by the "maxcount" configuration parameter.
And the third of original algorithms is "autoconfirmation" algorithm: The sender of a "mail contact" (sender-recipient pair) means as authenticated (whitelisted) if the filters statistics module has registered the both of a sended forward (request) and a recieved backward (reply) messages of this contact. The messages from the such authenticated senders will never be delayed by the previos "check delay" algorithm.
Enhancements:
- Add checks to prevent overwrite all configuration data during install.
- Minor bug fix in ns-relay code.
