NAME
ppserver - manual page for Parallel Python Network Server SYNOPSIS
ppserver [-hda] [-i interface] [-b broadcast] [-p port] [-w nworkers] [-s secret] [-t seconds] DESCRIPTION
Parallel Python Network Server OPTIONS
-h this help message -d debug -a enable auto-discovery service -r restart worker process after each task completion -n <proto> protocol number for pickle module -c <path> path to config file -i <interface> interface to listen -b <broadcast> broadcast address for auto-discovery service -p <port> port to listen -w <nworkers> number of workers to start -s <secret> secret for authentication -t <seconds> timeout to exit if no connections with clients exist -k <seconds> socket timeout in seconds which is also the maximum time a remote job could be executed. Increase this value if you have long run- ning jobs or decrease if connectivity to remote ppservers is often lost. Please visit http://www.parallelpython.com for extended up-to-date documentation, examples and support forums SECURITY
Due to the security concerns it is highly recommended to run ppserver.py with an non-trivial secret key (-s command line argument) which should be paired with the matching secret keyword of PP Server class constructor. An alternative way to set a secret key is by assigning pp_secret variable in the configuration file .pythonrc.py which should be located in the user home directory (please make this file read- able and writable only by user). The secret key set in .pythonrc.py could be overridden by command line argument (for ppserver.py) and secret keyword (for PP Server class constructor). AUTHOR

NAME
squid_radius_auth - Squid RADIUS authentication helper SYNOPSIS
squid_radius_auth -f configfile squid_radius_auth -h "server" [-p port] [-i identifier] -w secret DESCRIPTION
This helper allows Squid to connect to a RADIUS server to validate the user name and password of Basic HTTP authentication. -f configfile Specifies the path to a configuration file. See the CONFIGURATION section for details. -h server Alternative method of specifying the server to connect to -p port Specify another server port where the RADIUS server listens for requests if different from the default RADIUS port. Normally not specified. -i identifier Unique identifier identifying this Squid proxy to the RADIUS server. If not specified the IP address is used as to identify the proxy. -w secret Alternative method of specifying the shared secret. Using the configuration file is generally more secure and recommended. -t timeout RADIUS request timeout. Default 10 seconds. CONFIGURATION
The configuration specifies how the helper connects to RADIUS. The file contains a list of directives (one per line). Lines beginning with a # is ignored. server radiusserver specifies the name or address of the RADIUS server to connect to. secret somesecretstring specifies the shared RADIUS secret. identifier nameofserver specifies what the proxy should identify itsels as to the RADIUS server. This directive is optional. port portnumber Specifies the port number or service name where the helper should connect. AUTHOR
