Physical Setup of a Kannel Gateway
Hi All, I am new to Kannel and actually trying to understand the physical layout of the setup. Can someone please explain in non-technical terms, the physical setup of a Kannel Gateway & service? Do I need to connect to a service provider? Can I provide content for friends and family to their WAP-enabled devices? Have looked through .docs/faq/user guides and cannot see a definitive answer. regards, Ben Ben Minton Brisbane, QLD, AU [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Questions re First Time Setup/Operation Kannel Server
Hi All, I have been subscribed to the list for some time now, but have not posted before. Yesterday, I installed Kannel Latest via .tar.gz onto a Slackware 10.1 PC. Currently I am attempting to configure the various *boxes but are having difficulty understanding the install/config docs. Referring to http://www.kannel.org/download/1.4.0/userguide-1.4.0/userguide.html for all questions, The first configuration is the 'core group'. 1). What is the relevant config file? (other_kannel.conf, pushkannel.conf, smskannel.conf or wapkannel.conf) 2). Re admin-deny-ip, is it better to deny all and allow trusted IPs or allow all and deny certain? 3). Why was I only able to wget the kannel.tar.gz as root and not my 'admin' account? 4). Are there any PHP interfaces currently written or being developed for Kannel? 5). Is there any chance that user submitted questions (via users@kannel.org) can be parsed and then put online into some sort of Users FAQ? If this is a case of extra workload, I am in a position to help code (html/css). regards, Ben. Ben Minton Brisbane, Queensland, Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] +61 423 144 234
Re Installing Errors
Thanks to Garth, Mihai and Heru for their replies. It seems one of the problems was that I was following the install procedure located in the main gateway dir, titled INSTALL. Part of that process was to perform a 'make clean' ... took me three tries before I realised that 'make clean' was actually deleting the bearerbox*, smsbox* and wapbox* from /gateway-1.4.0/gw Is this a usual occurence? -- Regards, Ben. --------- Ben Minton Internet Technologist Brisbane, QLD, AU 27 00 S, 133 00 E +61 423 144 234 open source, open standards, open web -

Possible SMSBOX Config Error

Off Topic Query Re Kannel Mailing List Information Security
Hi, I apologise in advance, however originally I sent this email to the Mailman at Kannel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) but it bounced with error code 550 (relaying). Original text: -- I was just googling my name 'ben minton' as I do periodically to see how and where my personal information is posted on the WWW and I have discovered myself as part of this mailing list, posted in full chronological order on Open Subscriber (www.opensubscriber.com). Open Subscriber is a publically available, archive access application to help those to view information without subscribing to any/some mailing lists, although my thoughts are slightly more cynical. The reason why I subscribed to this list using my real name, geographical location, mobile phone number was, that I was under the impression that postings to this list and it's archives were private, viewable only to list-admin and list-subscribers. This view was based on the fact that this is a moderated list, requires subscription and the online archives are username/password protected. Consequently I am prepared to be 'me', speaking openly and honestly to all those whom subscribe to and interact with this list. However now I find my posts, which I consider for the viewing of the list-admin and list-subscribers only, available for full public viewing on the WWW. If this list is supposed to be private, then can someone in the position to advise, elucidate why this instance of all my post being available in their entirety elsewhere has occurred or if this list is in fact open and unrestricted, why the sign up process does clearly indicate this? In these times of massive personal information indexing, archiving and referencing, I attempt to control how and where my personal information is displayed, hence the periodical searching on the WWW. Although previously over the last few years, I have not been as vigilant, but due to a personal circumstance was required to be much more proactive. In the event that this list is in fact open and unrestricted, and that I should have reasonably expected any/all of my communications to be end up in the public domain on the WWW, I will have no other choice than to unsubscribe. Obviously I can always re-subscribe using a munged, false or representative email address using any one of the various online free, webmail services, however given our topic, Kannel and the types whom subscribe, I would have expected some level of personal information security management. I apologise for this message but this subject is of extreme concern to myself and needs to be clearly and specifically addressed. Regards, Ben. -- B.D.
