Greg's Wiki

This is Greg's (also known as ["GreyCat"]'s) wiki. It is not very big yet, but it has got a few pages which may be of interest for people doing Unix shell scripting or system administration.

The 'official' channel FAQ for [http://freenode.net freenode]'s #bash channel is ["BashFAQ"]. For common mistakes made by Bash programmers, see BashPitfalls. For learning bash, try the BashGuide (in progress). For general Unix issues, see DotFiles, ["Permissions"], ProcessManagement, or UsingFind.

[http://www.qmail.org qmail] users, see QmailPath and QmailRelay. They're a bit rough right now.

Miscellaneous pages: SshKeys, FtpMustDie, XyProblem.

The [http://wiki.debian.org/DebianIRC Debian wiki] has some more resources that may be useful.

To the idiot at 219.88.*.* who kept porn-spamming this page: congratulations. Because of you, I have blocked the entire /16 netblock (apparently a huge chunk of New Zealand). Why do we let idiots have dynamic IP addresses??

Also, congratulations to greycat for blocking a whopping 65536 users out of spite just to stop one little spammer - an obviously constructive method of dealing with the fact that one's running an open wiki on a hostile network.
- And what would you do instead? Require me to activate wiki accounts by hand before letting people edit pages?
  - A suggestion 1) I get a lot of mileage on my personal wiki out of blocking anonymous users from saving pages with URLs in them.
    A suggestion 2) Please install and activate Captchpa feature which would be asked before attempting to edit a page
    A suggestion 3) Require to to use Preview before page is actually posted.
    A suggestion 4) Use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarpit_(networking) teergrube] (technique from SMTP spammer tar-pits). Accept page only after N minutes has passed since user pressed edit. Say 3 minutes.

This is a [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ MoinMoin] wiki. Language packages have been installed for German and Spanish, but virtually all the content herein is in English.

Generic wiki stuff:

RecentChanges: see where people are currently working
WikiSandBox: feel free to change this page and experiment with editing
FindPage: search or browse the database in various ways
SyntaxReference: quick access to wiki syntax
SiteNavigation: get an overview over this site and what it contains

-  (From an unaffected chunk of NZ): Thanks for the pages, greycat.  It occurs to me that a wiki ought to be able to block edits from IP ranges without blocking views.  I'll look into moinmoin.

+Line 35:
- As of a couple days ago (early Feb 2009), this wiki now uses [[HelpOnTextChas|text captchas]] on page edits.  [[TrustedEditorGroup|Trusted editors]] will not see them.  If you're not smart enough to answer the (extremely simple) questions, then you lose.  (That's potentially a small problem on pages that say "ask your questions here", but really... the captcha questions are ''very'' simple.)  I also removed all firewall-level IP blocks, for now at least.
