Make sure mail to the Echolot pinger reaches /var/mail/echolot (or configure |
| 5 |
weasel |
334 |
echolot to read it from any other location). Please really check that mail to |
| 6 |
|
|
the configured domain works. Any bounces will annoy dozends of remailer |
| 7 |
|
|
operators. |

To send commands to pingd it's best to use the /etc/init.d/echolot script. |
| 10 |
|
|
It takes care that pingd is only called as the correct user. See pingd(1) for a |
| 11 |
|
|
list of commands and their description. |

If you run this pinger please consider publishing the results so that other |
| 14 |
|
|
people benefit from it. Announcing the URL to the remailer operators' list |
| 15 |
|
|
<remops@freedom.gmsociety.org>, the alt.privacy.anon-server Usenet newsgroup |
| 16 |
|
|
and sending a mail to pingers@palfrader.org would be apprechiated. |

Since many users installed Echolot without considering its implications the |
| 19 |
|
|
default setup is now to no longer start the pingd in the default installation. |
| 20 |
|
|
To actually enable it please modify /etc/default/echolot. |

If you want to run a pinger, please configure /etc/echolot/pingd.conf and |
| 23 |
|
|
/etc/default/echolot. Then start echolot using /etc/init.d/echolot start |
| 24 |
weasel |
716 |
and add some addresses to it: /etc/init.d/echolot add remailer@example.com. |
