This folder contains files of interest to BerZerker users, for various reasons.

forward, procmailrc -- Samples of procmail setup files
-------------------------------------------------------

To filter email that has been tagged as SPAM to a "spam" folder that you have
setup, copy forward to ~/.forward and copy procmailrc to ~/.procmailrc:

cp /var/www/share/forward ~/.forward
cp /var/www/share/procmailrc ~/.procmailrc

You may wish to edit your copy of .procmailrc in particular to do additional 
filtering.

putty.exe -- A console program for logging into your account's shell
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Download putty.exe and run it, connecting to "ssh.berzerker.net" using the
ssh protocol. When asked, be sure and "accept" the security key (you'll only
be asked on the initial login).  You will then be logged into a bash shell
on your account. Type "exit" to leave the shell.

getimgdir -- A linux script for installing/updating ImgDir
----------------------------------------------------------

ImgDir is a picture/video thumbnail viewer written by myself and provided to
BerZerker users. The getimgdir script is a perl script that can be used on 
a linux computer to automatically download the latest version of ImgDir 
and install it in a directory. In general, it is safe to run this in a 
directory which contains a previous installaion, but if the pictures are 
really important or you are especiallly paranoid, back them up first.

Run the getimgdir script witout any arguments to read the usage statement.

coreftplite1.3.exe -- HIGHLY RECOMMENDED DOWNLOAD!
-----------------------------------------------

  Coreftplite is a free SECURE ftp program for XP. We HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that 
  you use this program for transferring files to and from BerZerker (or any 
  other place you would normally use ftp). If you already have a favorite
  ftp program that supports Secure FTP (e.g. CureFTPPro), you can use that
  instead of CoreFTPLite, but we've found CoreFTPLite to be the best totally
  free and legal ftp program to support Secure FTP. Here's some additional 
  background information:

  When using traditional ftp, your login and password information is sent
  over the internet via cleartext and is relatively easy for hackers to
  intercept and thus gain access to your account. If you use a browser such
  as Internet Explorer to ftp files, it's even worse because your login and
  password are sent as part of the URL when tranferring files (you might
  have even noticed it in the status line of your browser during xfer). 
  Traditionally, ftp is one of the largest security loopholes.

  Secure ftp (or ftp over ssh) solves this problem by encrypting the login
  information. Furthermore, the actual file contents themselves are 
  encrypted during the transfer providing you with even more security from
  hackers and snoopers. 

  -- IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT HOW TO USE CoreFTP --
  All you have to do to start using secure ftp is to download and install
  this program and, when setting up the connection to ftp.berzerker.net, 
  select the "SSH/SFTP" option in the Site Manager window. This will
  cause the Port to automatically change to the standard secure ftp port
  number, 22. When you first connect, you will be prompted to save the
  encryption key for BerZerker -- you will only be asked this once for
  each site you connect to, unless for some reason the key for BerZerker
  changes. 

  -- SPECIFIC SETUP INSTRUCTIONS --
  Here is a step-by-step guide to setting up CoreFTP to connect to BerZerker.

    - Start Core FTP Lite
    - Select "Sites/Site Manager" menu option (or click on first button)
    - Enter "BerZerker" for Site Name (or any identifying name - for your use)
    - Enter "ftp.berzerker.net" for Host
    - Uncheck the Anonmyous box (BerZerker does not support anonymous ftp)
    - Enter your login name for your BerZerker acct under Username
    - Enter your BerZerker password under Password
    - CHECK THE "SSH/SFTP" BOX (this will change port to 22)
    - Click on "Connect" to test the connection
    - Accept and save the BerZerker encrytion key when asked.
    - You shoudl be good to go now -- and this site information will be
      saved for your future use.
