[Refdb-users] Entschuldigen Sie bitte die Störung!

Entschuldigen Sie bitte die Störung!

Mir ist etwas zu Ohren gekommen.
Eine relativ aussergewöhnliche Gerüchteküche,
aus der man mir ein schwerverdauliches Süppchen vorgesetzt hat,
ist der Grund meiner Mail.
Unappetitlich ist gar kein Ausdruck!
Ist es möglich auf  funktechnischem Wege(in welchen Frequenzbereichen?)
 jemanden zu beeinflussen oder zu manipulieren?
Oder sogar zu schikanieren und terrorisieren?
Unter dem Motto:"Einen am Sender?Nich ganz alleine?
Kleine Mannim Ohr?Falsche Wellenlänge?Bohnen in den Ohren?
Auf den Zahn gefühlt(Amalgam)?Mal unverbindlich reinhören?
Der Pullacher Wanzentanz?
Ist das Spinnerei?Das geht doch gar nicht,oder?
Und wenn wie sieht das ethisch moralisch aus?
Zur technischen Seite der Sache gibt es zwar Berichte und Webseiten:

usw.
usw.
usw.
,aber,das kann doch nicht sein,das soetwas gemacht wird,oder?
Eine Menschenrechtsverletzung sonder gleichen!?!
Ist es möglich,durch Präparation,der
Ohren und im Zusammenspiel mit eventuell vorhandenem Zahnersatz?
Mit relativ einfacher Funktechnik??
In diesem Land?Hier und heute???
Unter welchen Motiven?
Wo ist eigentlich die Abteilung  5 des BND und des Verfassungsschutzes?
Kann es sein,daß es Leute gibt,die dem BND/Verfassungsschutz,auf
funktechnischem Wege 
permanent einen Situationsbericht abliefern,ohne es selbst zu merken,im
Kindesalter machbar gemacht??
Werden durch solche unfreiwilligen,inoffiziellen,informellen
Mitarbeiter,beim BND und Verfassungsschutz,nach Stasimanier,
Informationen von und über,rein theoretisch, jeden Bundesbürger,gesammelt?
Gibt es dann noch ein Recht auf  Privatsphere? 
Wer kontrolliert eigentlich den BND,MAD und Verfassungsschutz auf
Unterwanderung???
In der Mail geht es mir eigentlich um die Frage,ob es kriminellen Elementen,
aus dem Motiv der Bereicherung,oder Gruppierungen aus ideologischen Motiven,
möglich ist ,sich Wissen und Technik anzueignen,die zu anderen Zeiten,
aus anderen Motiven(Westfernsehen?),entwickelt wurde.
Und stellt der technische Wissensstand,
der der Allgemeinheit bekannt ist  wirklich das Ende der Fahnenstange dar?
Ist es denn nicht kriminellen Elementen genauso möglich,
ich sage das jetzt mal verharmlost und verniedlichend,
einzelne Personen oder Gruppen mit relativ einfachen Mitteln,
aus welchen Motiven auch immer, auszuspionieren?
Und stellt diese "Ausspioniererei" nicht einen erheblichen Eingriff in die
Privatsphäre dar? 
Ist es möglich einzelne Personen oder Gruppen,
eine Akzeptans einer gewissen Öffentlichkeit(suggeriert?),
die z.B. mit Hilfe von Internetseiten,wie zum Beispiel dem
"Pranger"geschaffen werden könnte,
mal vorausgestzt,zu terroriesieren und oder zu schikanieren,
und das in aller (suggerierten)Öffentlichkeit?Haben die Leute die da am
Pranger,
oder auf irgendeiner anderen Seite verunglimpft,oder gar Verleumdet werden,
eigentlich eine Chance zur Gegenöffentlichkeit?Ist das nicht Rufmord?
Vor einigen Jahren bin ich per Zufall auf die Seite "Der Pranger" gestoßen,
damals lief das noch nicht unter dem Deckmantel der Partnervermittlung.
Können sich einzelne Personen,oder Interessengemeinschaften,
aus reinem Selbstzweck,solcher Seiten bedienen,
um unter dem Deckmantel einer fragwürdigen Zivilkourage,
durch anzetteln irgendwelcher Hetzkampagnen,eigene,
ganz persöhnliche Interessen durchsetzen?
Können solche Seiten zur Koordination von kriminellen machenschaften dienen?
Die Frage,ist es  Möglichkeit oder Unmöglichkeit,technisch und
gesellschaftlich,
einzelne Personen,oder auch Gruppierungen,aus einer
kriminellen/ideologischen
Energei heraus,zu manipulieren oder zu beeinflussen,terrorisieren oder zu 
schickanieren,und zwar gezielt.
Zielgruppenmanipulation durch Massenmedien sind alltägliche Manipulation,
der mansich,mehr oder weniger,entziehen kann.
Wird das Recht auf Privatsphäre,schleichend,tiefenpsychologisch,
durch Sendungen,wie,zum Beispiel "Big brother",untergraben?
Sollte bei einem der Angemailten ein gewisser Wissensstand zum Thema
vorhanden sein,
wäre ich über Hinweise zum Thema froh.
Auf der Suche nach Antworten auf meine Fragen
maile ich verschiedene Adressen aus dem Internet an,
und hoffe aufkonstruktive Antworten und Kritiken.
Über einen Besuch auf der Seite
<http://hometown.aol.de/reinerhohn38259/homepage/index.html>
würde ich mich freuen.
Sollten Sie von mir mehrfach angeschrieben worden
sein,so bitte ich Sie,mir dies zu entschuldigen,
das war nicht beabsichtigt.
Der Grund für meine Anonymität ist,
außer einer möglichen Repression,
auch die Tatsache,
daß bei derlei Fragenstellerei,
verständlicherweise,schnell der Ruf nach der Psychatrie laut wird.
Was auch Methode hat(ist).
Da ich seit längerem mit Ausschlußlisten arbeite,kann es 
normalerweise nicht sein,daß eine Mailadresse doppelt angemailt wird.
Sollten Sie die Mail als Belästigung empfinden,
möchte ich mich hiermit dafür entschuldigen!
Kann die künstliche spam Hysterie,genutzt werden,um die Möglichkeit zu
unterbinden,
im Falle einer Menschenrechtsverletzung,Öffentlichkeit zu schaffen?
Wird das Internet wasserdicht???
Big brother is watching you?


Excuse please the disturbance!

Me something came to ears.
A relatively unusual rumor kitchen,
from which one put forward to me a heavydigestible soup,
is the reason of my Mail.
Unappetizing is no printout!
Is it possible on radio Wege(in for which frequency ranges?)  to
influence or manipulate someone?
Terrorize or to even chicane and?
Under the Motto:"Einen at the Sender?Nich quite alone?
Small Mannim Ohr?Fal Wellenlaenge?Bohnen in the ears?
On the tooth clean-hear gefuehlt(Amalgam)?Mal witthout obligation?
The Pullacher bug wanzentanz?

And if as looks ethicalally morally?
For the technical page of the thing there is to report and web page:

but, that cannot be nevertheless, which is made soetwas, or?
A violation of human rights resemble special!?!
Is it possible, by preparation, the ears and in interaction with
possibly available artificial dentures?
With relatively simple radio engineering??
In this Land?Hier and today???
Under which motives?
Where is the department actually 5 of the BND and the protection of the
constitution?
Can it be that there are people, which deliver the Federal
Intelligence Service/protection of the constitution, on radio way
permanently a situation report, without noticing it, in the infancy
feasiblly made?
By such unofficial coworkers, with the BND and protection of the
constitution, after Stasimanier, is information collected of and
over,purely theoretically, each Federal citizen?
Is there then still another right to Privatsphere?
Who actually checks the BND, WAD and protection of the constitution for
infiltration???
Into the Mail actually concerns it to me the question whether it
criminal items, from which motive of enriching, or groupings from
ideological motives is possible, to acquire itself knowledge and
technique which were developed at other times, from other
Motiven(Westfernsehen?).And does the technical knowledge status place, to
that the public admits is really the end of the flag bar?
Is it not to criminal items just as possible, I legend that now times
played down and does nice-end, individual persons or groups with
relatively simple means, to spy from whatever motives always?
And doesn't this " Ausspioniererei " represent a substantial
intervention into the privatsphaere?
It is possible individual persons or groups, one acceptance to of a
certain Oeffentlichkeit(suggeriert?),  e.g. by Internet pages, how for
example the " Pranger"geschaffen could become, times vorausgestzt, to
terroriesieren and or chicane, and in everything (the people
suggerierten)Oeffentlichkeit?Haben there at the Pranger, or on any
other page to be reviled, or slandered, actually a chance to the
Gegenoeffentlichkeit?Ist that not character assassination?
Some years ago I am by coincidence the page " the Pranger "
encountered, at that time ran not yet under the cover of the partner
switching.Itself can individual persons, or communities of interests, from
pure self purpose, such pages to serve, over under the cover of a doubtful
Zivilkourage, through plot any rushing campaigns, own, quite
persoehnliche interests to intersperse?
Can such pages serve for the co-ordination of criminal machinations?
The question, is it possibility or impossibility, technically and
socially, individual persons, or also groupings of manipulating or of
influencing from an criminal/ideological Energei, terrorizes or to
schickanieren, directed.Target group manipulation by mass media are
everyday manipulation, from which, more or less, can extract itself.
Does the right to privatsphaere, creeping, by transmissions become
deep psychological, how, for example " Big undermine brother"?
If the Angemailten should be available a certain knowledge status to
the topic with one, I would be glad over notes to the topic
On the search for responses to my questions maile I different
addresses from the Internet on, and hope up-constructional responses
and criticisms.Over an attendance on the page
<http://hometown.aol.de/reinerhohn38259/homepage/index.html>
wuerde I are pleased.If you should have been written down by me several
times, then please
I you to excuse me this that was not intended.
There I since longer with exclusion lists work
it cannot be normally, that a Mailadresse
one angemailt doubly.  
The reason for my anonymity is the fact that with such
Fragenstellerei, understandably, fast after the call the Psychatrie
loud becomes.  Which also method hat(ist).
If you should feel the Mail as annoyance, I would like to apologize
hereby for it! 
 The artificial Spam hysteria can,
are used, in order to prevent the possibility, 
in the case of a violation of human rights, 
to create public?  
Does the InterNet become waterproof???  
Big is watching you?

Il s'agit en réalité dans le Mail me la question de savoir si lui éléments

Il y a quelques années, je ne suis pas encore par hasard sur le côté

précipitation, propres intérêts tout à fait persoehnliche entremêlent?
De tels côtés peuvent-ils servir à la coordination des manoeuvres
criminelles?
Question, est lui possibilité ou impossibilité de manipuler ou
d'influencer  techniquement et socialement, particulière personnes, ou
aussi groupements, criminelle/ponctuel idéologique Energei dehors, ,
terroriser ou  schickanieren, et ce.Une manipulation de groupe cible par
des masse-médias être la manipulation quotidienne qui peut extraire
mansich, plus ou moins.
   Le droit à la vie privée est-il miné, ramment, tiefenpsychologisch, par
des envois, comme, par exemple "des Big brother"?
   Avec un les Angemailten si un certain savoir devait exister sur le

I just wonder: refdbc claims your username is "refuser" while the
error log indicates it is "wrplab" like in the config files - are
these different sessions?

I apologize for this confusion. Due to FHS compliance $REFDBLIB turned
out to be a bad place for configuration files so I moved those to
sysconfdir (which usually is /usr/local/etc). I may have missed a few
things in the documentation regarding this change. The refdb-bug
script in 0.8.4 unfortunately looks at the wrong configuration files,
this is fixed in the CVS version (I expected the username and password
stuff in the personal config files so I had you run the test anyway).

To avoid further confusion: Please put the configuration files in
/usr/local/etc. All RefDB apps use $REFDBLIB as a fallback location
*only if* no config files are found in /usr/local/etc. $REFDBLIB on
the other hand should point to the directory containing the shareable
data which usually is /usr/local/share/refdb.

In order to track down why the username/password arrive corrupted I'd
like to see the log output of refdbc with log level 7. A simple
command like "selectdb" should print the complete line that is sent to
refdbd. As I can't reproduce this problem here I need your assistance
to debug it.

Another question: Do you see this behaviour with any username and any
password or is it specific to some character combinations?

regards,
Markus

It seems like there are some inconsistencies in the documentation.  On the one hand,
you want me to use $REFDBLIB = /usr/local/share/refdb for lots of stuff, but the refdb-bug
script looks there for the refdb*rc files, which are actually in /usr/local/etc.

It is not clear to me where the files should be - it does seem like
the refdbcrc file is not being read.

[Refdb-users] references go in, but don't come out

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Hi Bill,

this looks to me like the result of command line quoting gone
wild. Do you use config files or do you pass username and password on
the command line to refdbc?

Could you run the "set" command in refdbc and compare the displayed
values with what you expect (it won't tell you the password though)?
Next would be to use "set username <name>" and "set passwd <password>"
interactively and see whether this cures the problem.

Another thing is to run both client and server with a log level of
7. This should tell you where the username/password thing gets
mangled.

If nothing helps, please run the "refdb-bug" script and send the file
refdb-bug.txt (in the current working directory) to the list. This
might give a few more clues.

regards,
Markus

[Refdb-users] references go in, but don't come out

[William R. P. <wr...@al...>]

I have managed to install refdb-0.8.4, and create a database, and enter 
some references.

But when I do a refdbc: getau  (or anything else), nothing comes out.

Looking in the logs, I see the line:

4:pid=22273:Thu Jul 04 02:47:17 2002:Access denied for user: ' refuser 
-w 09...@xx...' (Using password: NO)

The correct login would be re...@xx..., the "-w 0971" seems 
to be a bug, but I have no idea where it is coming from.

All this looks just fine. There is no hint of anything going wrong.

The MySQL access control encourages to create users in the user table
with all N's. This allows you to connect to the server but you can't
do any harm otherwise. Entries in the db table add specific access
rights for a particular database. These entries should have at least
four Y's for a regular user. On my test system, the entries are:

The administrator account would of course have all Y's in the user
table, making entries in the db table unnecessary.

[from another post:]

 >WHERE I
 >D=2139062143

The only conspicuous thing that I could see from your logs is that the
ID values are almost certainly incorrect. In the first log cited
above, the ID ends up as 0, here it ends up as 2139062143. The column
has the auto_increment attribute and will as such start at 1 in a
fresh database, not at 0. If you delete entries and add new ones with
the RefDB client, the IDs will not be reused, though, but the value
2139062143 would mean that you showed a serious amount of persistence
when trying to add styles.

I cannot reproduce this problem on my system, so all I can do is to
make a few suggestions:

- do you have any other MySQL installation available in your network?

- would you mind trying a different version of MySQL?

- could you send a dump of the refdb database after "adding" a style
  (I understand it doesn't work, but I'd like to see precisely what
  data end up in the table). The table structure and data of the
  CITSTYLE table should be enough. A faint possiblity is that a newer
  version of MySQL cannot digest the dump created by MySQL 3.22 that
  is part of the RefDB sources. Use mysqldump for this purpose (let me
  know if you need assistance).

Markus

[Refdb-users] DUMMY style entries

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Hi,

when you add a new style from the XML source, the new style is called
"DUMMY" until the appropriate name tag appears during the sequential
parsing. If you get DUMMY entries, either the style import is
incomplete (in this case you should get an error message) or your
style does not have a name (i.e. a <journalname> entry).

Please validate your styles again, and if this doesn't show any
errors, please add a style with loglevel set to 7 and see whether you
notice anything unusual.

regards,
Markus

[Refdb-users] DUMMY style entries

[Denis C. <dc...@pi...>]

Hi all,

I can't work out my own foolery here...  After reinstalling refdb and
mysql (I'm using refdb-0.8.4a) I seem to get DUMMY entries in the style
list.  I have tried connecting as root, and as my username to refdba.  The
log file for refdbd shows that inserts are being made though.  The end
result of all of this is that when I run runbib on an sgml file I get a
"server error: style spec error".

Any clues?

If you followed the installation instructions for the web interface,
all you'd have to do is to open the main query page (refdbquery.html)
in your favourite web browser. Just make sure that refdbd runs.

[Refdb-users] A cookie problem? (refdb 0.8.4a)

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Georg Rehm writes:

This was the basic idea of setting expDays to 0, as it would delete
all personal information stored in the cookies after you close the
browser. Apparently most browsers delete the cookies immediately
instead, as Xiang already pointed out in this thread. I have no idea
why this worked for me when I changed expDays to its current value a
while ago, but I'll make sure to increase the value in the next
release.

Re: [Refdb-users] A cookie problem? (refdb 0.8.4a)

[<Xia...@gs...>]

I got the same problem before, and it seems that there's a small bug in 
access.js file. In the setall() function of access.js file, the value of 
variable expDays is 0. So the cookie expires immediately after it's set. I 
changed this value, and it works fine now.

Hope it helps.

        Subject:        [Refdb-users] A cookie problem? (refdb 0.8.4a)

Hi everybody,

I run the latest RefDB tarball (0.8.4a) on a Mandrake 8.1 box 
(MySQL 3.23.49, Apache 1.3.24), but I have a tiny problem with
the Web interface:

If I log in on the first HTML document with a valid user, a valid
password and a valid database (valid at least for refdbc in the shell),
the page tells me I'm logged in now (I know, pressing the Login-button
isn't necessary). If I switch pages to "Display current database", the 
answer is "nodb". /var/logs/refdbd.log contains nothing for this request.

If I try to issue a query by means of one of the HTML forms, I get an
"internal server error" and entries like the following in refdbd.log 
(I guess this is the same problem that Michael Ayers reported the other 
day):

4:pid=14113:Wed Jun 12 16:02:52 2002:Access denied for user: 
'no...@ho...' (Using password: YES)
7:pid=14113:Wed Jun 12 16:02:52 2002:command processing done, finish 
dialog now

If I log in on the first HTML page and issue a "Simple query" on this
page, the correct result is displayed and several corresponding SELECT 
statements are contained in refdbd.log. 

I assume the trouble is caused by a major problem with setting the cookies
containing the user/password/database information (I experience exactly 
the 
same behavior on both Netscape Navigator 6 and Internet Explorer 5, so I
doubt that it's browser-related). Navigator reports in its Preferences 
menu 
that the Apache on my RefDB server successfully put only one cookie in the 

browser's environment:

                 Information about the selected cookie

                 Name:                                           SID
                 Information:            [some hash code]
                 Host:                                           hostname
                 Path:                                           /
                 Server Secure:                  no
                 Expires:                                at end of session

If I understand the JavaScript code in "access.js" correctly, three
cookies (called "name", "passwd" and "database") should be present.

Does anyone know why this doesn't work in my setup? Do I need to add
something to my more or less plain vanilla configuration of Apache or
is this a bug in "access.js"?

Greetings and thanks in advance,
                 Georg

[Michael J. A. <ay...@st...>]

I think I have everything installed correctly, but I am having problems
with the web interface.  Even when I log in with a valid username/pass
for MySQL and it tells me that i am logged in, when I try to submit data
through the web form it errors out and the log says that noid@<blah>. 
It is almost as if it isnt logging me in correctly.  Has anyone else
seen this behavior?  Thanks

[Refdb-users] Re: Is refdb international?

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Hi Janusz,

I did some research regarding my options to support Unicode (as a
prerequisite for supporting UNIMARC). RefDB should have little if any
problems to support UTF-8 if the console or xterm support it too. The
problem is the database server itself. While you could add UTF-8
strings to MySQL databases right now, running queries with regular
expressions would not work as expected. Rumours say that MySQL 4.1
will support UTF-8, so this is a matter of time (the current
*experimental* version is 4.0). PostgreSQL can handle UTF-8 right now,
but the easiest way to include support for multiple database servers
into RefDB (libdbi.sourceforge.net) isn't ready for prime time
yet. I'll do my best to add the missing features to this library in
order to support PostgreSQL as soon as possible, but I'm afraid it'll
take a few months.

I'll add a note to the manual about the current state of character set
support in the next version.

regards,
Markus

[Refdb-users] installation problems on Mandrake 8.2

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Hi,

many distributions use separate packages for the run-time shared
libraries (e.g. libreadline.so) and the development libraries
(e.g. libreadline.a). In order to build RefDB, you need the latter
too. Please check your Mandrake CD for the development libraries.

regards,
Markus

Re: [Refdb-users] could not connect to database server

The most common problem are the proper MySQL access rights for web

connect from, or "%" if you want to allow access from any remote box.

Where do you keep this file and all the other configuration files? In
a previous mail you wrote that you had to install everything without
root access which makes matters a bit more complicated. As you can't
find a refdbc log file in /home/xg18005/var/log/refdbcgi.log, refdbc
probably can't find the configuration file. Depending on the
"./configure" options, the configuration files should be in
/usr/local/etc or maybe in /etc, but lacking root access you may have
to use something else here. Remember that refdbc cannot use the
$REFDBLIB environment variable when run as a CGI program unless you
add this variable to the environment that CGI programs run in.

The refdb-bug output that you sent are just the error messages of
unsuccessful commands that are printed to the screen. The real stuff
is written to a file "refdb-bug.txt" in the current working
directory. This is insufficiently documented, future versions of the
script will print a message with instructions. BTW the current version
will not find the global configuration files in /usr/local/etc.

Re: [Refdb-users] could not connect to database server

[<Xia...@gs...>]

Hi, Markus,

Thanks for the response. I finally got refdb to work. I didn't change the 
user name to root when I launched refdba for the first time. I guess it 
would not work if I add user name and passwd through mysql directly. 
Although command line tools work fine now, I got new problem with the web 
service.

Following the instuction, apache server is installed and html files can be 
accessed. refdbc is copied into cgi-bin directory, refdbcgirc file is 
changed accordingly. However, I keep getting internal server error. The 
log file says that incorrect username is entered:

[Mon Jun 03 11:14:28 2002] [error] [client 139.136.86.217] Premature end 
of script headers: refdbc, referer: http://139.136.98.97:8888/refdb/refdbquery.html
[Mon Jun 03 11:14:28 2002] [error] [client 139.136.86.217] incorrect 
username, referer: http://139.136.98.97:8888/refdb/refdbquery.html

With the same user name and passwd, refdbc could be invoked from command 
line correctly.

Could you please help me to look into this problem? Thanks very much.

Enter http://www.techstreet.com/ and search for Z39.50. You will find,
among others, the PDF files with the scanned image of this standard
available for free download.

The web site came back up after I sent my mail yesterday. The
documentation at least explains the funny element names, and this is
what worried me most at first sight. They use the three-digit codes as
element names. This makes the XML almost impossible to read as a
human, but a parser won't care. It's just going to be a pain to write
the handlers for the parser.

I think it is important to start somewhere, so USMARC might be the
better choice if it is more widely used.

We're certainly not alone but this is the first time that somebody
brought up the issue of character sets. I'd really like to see how
important this is for "real users".

[Refdb-users] could not connect to database server

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Hi,

Are you sure that refdbd runs? If you use the default locations for
the log and pid files and run refdbd as a user it is possible that
refdbd refuses to start as you may not have write access to these
files. In this case you should set logfile and pidfile to files in
your home directory.

If this does not solve your problem, please start all programs with
loglevel 7 and send the log output to the list, along with the output
of the script refdb-bug.

regards,
Markus

[Refdb-users] ANN: RefDB 0.8.4a (bugfix)

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Hi,

cgi.c in release 0.8.4 was not properly updated and fails to
compile. This is fixed in release 0.8.4a which I just uploaded.

You can easily fix the problem yourself without downloading the
package again. Just change 'REFDBLIB_DEFAULT' to 'SYSCONFDIR' in
src/cgi.c line 176. Apologies for the inconvenience.

regards,
Markus

[Refdb-users] could not connect to database server

[<Xia...@gs...>]

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed refdb-0.8.4 in Redhat Linux. When I issued 
command like listdb from refdba or whichdb from refdbc, the error message 
"could not connect to database server" appeared. Since I don't have 
previledge of system administrator, I installed refdb under my home 
directory and MySQL runs under /var directory. The host and port number 
are set accordingly. Is there anyone who knows what I need to change to 
make it work? Thanks very much.
