Hi all I've moved the phpSecureSite project to one of my own servers, and put up a web-site for it as well. You can find it at this URL: http://oss.wired-networks.net/phpsecuresite/ All services previously hosted at SourceForge have been moved to the new system. This includes the ftp-server, cvs repository and mailing lists. The reason for the move from SourceForge is that I wanted complete freedom over which services to provice, and how to configure them. I've always found the SourceForge system to be a bit hard to work with. All subscribers of the phpsecuresite-announce mailing list will be moved to the new mailing list system. If you don't want this then please mail me about it. -- Erik Grinaker http://erikg.wired-networks.net "To iterate is human, to recurse, divine" - Robert Heller |

phpSecureSite 0.0.3 is released. You can get it from SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsecuresite/ This release doesn't have many major changes to the system, instead the focus has been on extending the features already present in the system. Here is a list of some of the changes : - Improved the phpss_auth() and phpss_login() interfaces (returns various error codes) - Added a logging subsystem - Implemented a handful of events for logging and in preparation for the upcoming module subsystem - You can now set the database server port for connections - Removed the demo site - Documentation improvements As always, read the full documentation. And remember that the system is not ready for production use at all, so if you use it for anything serious you are on your own. |

phpSecureSite is now available through SourceForge CVS. This allows several developers to easily collaborate on the project, and users can download bleeding-edge development snapshots. The CVS repository has been split up into four separate projects. These are : database SQL database structures demo Demo site docs Documentation phpss The phpSecureSite system For more info on accessing the CVS repository go to the project home page at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpsecuresite For more info on CVS in general you should take a look at the book "Open Source Development with CVS" by Karl Fogel. It is available online at http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/ --=20 Erik Grinaker Freelance UNIX/Linux systems consultant "Perfection is acheived not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away" - Antoine de Saint-Exup=E9ry |

phpSecureSite version 0.0.2 is finally out. After a small "mishap" with the development server two months of work was lost, which is the reason for the five month delay since version 0.0.1. Development will probably be a bit more fast-paced now, with new releases once a month or so. To download it go to the project homepage at http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpsecuresite --=20 Erik Grinaker Freelance UNIX/Linux systems consultant "Perfection is acheived not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away" - Antoine de Saint-Exup=E9ry |

I have managed to delete the whole phpSecureSite development tree, and the latest backup is a month old. This means that the new release will be postponed a month or two while I reimplement the lost code. 0.1 may be out around May 1. 2002. @#$&%!!! Here's a list of some new features for you to drool over until the new version is out ; - Fully modularized system, based on events and handlers. This allows third-party developers to write their own plug-in modules - Whole system rewritten into the new module system. Modules include - Core system (minimal session handling) - Logging subsystem - Session variables (also persistent (intersession) vars) - IP access control - Brute force protection - Extensive documentation in DocBook SGML, rendered to HTML, PDF, PostScript or pretty much any other format - New demo site which demonstrates all the phpSecureSite functionality - Complete abstraction of the database Although there is still a long way to go before it is ready for real-world use it has grown considerably since version 0.0.1, and my ambitions for the system is constantly increasing. I think that within a year it will be a highly secure and functional security system for web-apps which should be ready for use in environments where security is a top priority, for example online banking-services or ecommerce-sites. The first thing I'll do when I begin development again is to set up a good backup-system so I'll never have to go through this again. --=20 Erik Grinaker Freelance UNIX/Linux systems consultant "Perfection is acheived not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away" - Antoine de Saint-Exup=E9ry |

The first release of phpSecureSite, version 0.0.1, is out. It's a very early version of the system, and should not be used for anything important - it's just released to get some feedback on the system. Enjoy! --=20 Erik Grinaker UNIX/Linux systems consultant Elan IT Resource - www.elanit.no "Perfection is acheived not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away" - Antoine de Saint-Exup=E9ry |

I've got some real life grungy things to do today ...like resurrect a = system that bluescreens while booting... I've read your note on GPL. I use GPL = for midwatch.org and the last time I read it, it allows you to use the open source code anyway you like, but it does not allow redistribution of = the code unless you open all of your code that you mixed in with the open = source code you got. Thus a e-commerce company could use your code as part of thier website, = and keep the whole website closed as long as they didn't distribute the = site. The idea is to keep some company like Microsoft from taking Linux, = adding some new features, closing the code and making a buck of thier new and improved Linux. It also prevents them from using portions of Linux code = to solve problems in Windows and keeping Windows closed. Hey did you hear about the new Windows product that combines the best features of NT, Me and CE? It's called Windows CEMeNT, as solid as a = rock, and as dumb as a brick! I see by your quote of Antoine de Saint-Exup=E9ry, that you very likely = have read Eric Raymond. It's helpful to speak the same language. ;) Anyway back to PHPSecureSite, I don't know that our goals are the same = but here's what I think would be useful: Picture the Webmaster who is a little code savy, wants PHP dynamic = content, but is renting space on some websever where he doesn't have total admin control over the server. It may be that PHPSecureSite will be a quick and easy way for him to = build a website that would track users and allow logins and stuff. Can we = construct a system were such a webmaster could make use of PHPSecureSite while = only having limited admin control? Assume that the webmaster has been = granted full access to at least one MySQL database on the server. Anyway, if you want to use the mail lists on source forge you should = start using them.=20 While this message isn't really a release announcement, I am cc:ing it = there because you don't have a developers mail list set up. Well not only do you have to realease early and often but you should = get chatty about the project and start building a maillist archive so that people browsing your project can believe that there is some life in it. Good luck! (and BTW, there is no conspiracy) http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/ecsl =20 |
