Policy

Evidently it makes attackers easier to prosecute and civil cases have a greater success rate with higher payouts when compromised systems displayed a warning banner to the attacker. It's just essentially a "No Trespassing" sign, it gives our organization a little bit more leverage in the event that ...

Legal notice at login

Our organization would like a legal notice at login. I've written a patch to display a text file, if it exists, at login. It's not too awfully pretty but it gets the job done. Works against 1.23.1, I suspect it could be backported to other versions just as easily. If anyone has any enhancements to ...

Logging authentications to syslog (with patch goodness)

I have a need to log authentications and authentication failures to the syslog authpriv facility. I've written a patch (below) that does just that and nothing else. Certainly not fancy but does exactly what I need it to. Hope you all enjoy! ZM Version: 1.23.x --- /srv/www/htdocs/zm_funcs.php.bak ...

Really? I don't see how that's a useful security feature at all. Care to elaborate?

Possible change

I guess i didn't realize that. Sorry if it was a waste of time.

I'll see if I could write a patch that would correct that behavior and submit it for others.

Streaming breaks after password change

After changing your password, streaming doesn't seem to work. Error messages pile up in you apache error log: "Error, unable to authenticate user." If you log out and log back in the problem is fixed. I haven't had time to dive into the code to find the problem, but if I run across the solution I'll ...

Now suddenly working

Well now it is working. I restarted the zm service several times and have toggled the "background" switch on and off and it's chugging away now. I just cannot seem to figure out what the problem was. I'll post back if anything changes.

Well I'm not afraid to hop into the code if you can give me a place to start.

No deep storage

Ah, saw that thread and no I am not using that option. Sorry didn't think to mention that. One thing that is even WEIRDER now is that I hopped into zmfilter.pl and increased the debug level and followed the log file so see if there were any noticeable errors. So I restarted zonemider and it started ...

Apache error

I did have an error in my apache error log. By following the log file I determined it was occurring when you click on the Save link in the ZM Filter window. SQL-DEBUG: select * from Filters order by Name, referer: http://172.22.10.111/index.php?view=filter&page=&reload=1&execute=0&action=&subaction ...

Background filter not creating video

I have a background filter created that should include all of the videos that are older than right now (date less than now) and are not archived and I have checked "Archive all matches" and "Create video for all matches." I have saved the event as background. The archive seems to work fine but the ...
