More Security Testing
I continued my security testing and responded to a problem about the PAR.

Hacker Repellent
I spent the day looking for security holes in python software on sitar in the cmd directory.

Problem Found but Not Solved
I found the cause of LDAP problem. The cause is that the list comparison subroutine is comparing a list that has been split accross newlines with one that hasn't. I've tried to write Python code to get it right, but so far haven't succeeded.

LDAP Forever
More investigation of the ldap manager problem, but nothing found. On a happier note, Greg asked for help on an sql query and I suggested a way to do it. I'll be away at the Python conference until next Tuesday.

LDAP Debugging
I added some more debugging prints, this time directly in the Python ldap module. I got the parameters and then wrote a Python script and a Perl script that as far as I can tell, do the same thing. However, they return valid results and Zope does not. I'm still trying to figure out the difference.

Moving On
The last part of the problem with the Software Reviews folder happened because two Python scripts in the folder had their contents missing. I restored the contents from test and everything looks fine now. Julia wanted me to remove a folder from the Sage TWiki. Because it has to be remove at the OS level, I passed the request on to Dan. I started looking at the new TWiki installation and will do the installation tomorrow.

This and That
Today was mostly spent staring at code. First the Python code for the LDAP to find the user and password, which looked fine. Then the netstats code. I ran the Perl debugger on the netstats backend. I thought it might be a problem with parsing the data files. I can't see any parsing problems, so I'll have to look elsewhere.

Twill Again
I went back to installing twill. I read up on the python installation problem and figured out how to bypass the attempt to install code in protected directories. So I got twill installed for my use, but ran into library dependencies. I downloaded the libraries twill required and installed them as well, but the installation greated .egg files. I am not familiar with these files and will have to study up on them.
The Sage DB hardware arrived today and installation should occur this week.

Twill Problems
I installed the latest version of Python (2.4.2) and then ran the twill install. It bombed halfway through because it trie to write to /usr/local, which is a read only filesystem. I looked at twill's setup script, but wasn't able to resolve the problem.

Twill
I began installing Twill and saw that it needed a more modern version of Python than we have, so I downloaded the latest. I hope to finish the install tomorrow.
