Back On Track....

OK, i am done freaking out for the moment and i am back on track to get the new system up and running. I just finished v1.0 of the [optional] hotspot directory for the new website and will be finishing the checkout process and "first login" account setup in the next day or two.

Since i have made SMTP relay configuration available from zone control i was faced with an issue i have been pushing aside since the beginning.... security. It really hasn't been a big problem because there has been no sensitive data transferred, but since you can enter your SMTP username and password and download it to the zonecd, i needed to do something or cracker heads would be reeking havoc on the servers. So i am using arcfour (aka RC4) encryption with a 256 byte key to encrypt/decrypt the downloaded files. Premium subscribers will need to add a zone.crt file to the configuration media(floppy or USB drive) before booting the zonecd.

You will also still need to login and create the 32 bit hash "zone key" to pass to the server programs....

Back to work....
