== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />

<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />

The SMTP servers do not require authentication, but use TSL for security. The POP and IMAP services of ULB accept unsecure connections (no SSL). The POP and IMAP servers of Iridia require secure connections (with SSL).<br />
<br />
There are also web interfaces available to read the email if you can not connect to the above servers via POP or IMAP:<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Mail configuration ==<br />
Assuming that you have an account on both the local and the university network the mail settings are as follows:<br />

<div>== Network configuration ==<br />
You should get a static IP from the system administrator. Your hostname will be the name of a famous scientist and the domain is ulb.ac.be. Other relevant addresses are:<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />
<br />
[http://www.netfilter.org/ Iptables official website]<br />
<br />
[http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Iptables tutorial and explanations]<br />
<br />
[http://lea-linux.org/reseau/iptables.html Setting up a firewall using iptables (in french)]<br />
<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />

== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

== The IRIDIA and the ULB network ==<br />
The IRIDIA system administrator can create an account on the local subnet for you, however, if you want to have access to some of the computer services of the university, you'll need an account on the university network as well. Ask the secretary for the forms and the process. <br />
<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />
If you want to understand more deeply iptables, you can check the following URLs :<br />
<br />
[http://www.netfilter.org/ Iptables official website]<br />
<br />
[http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Iptables tutorial and explanations]<br />
<br />
[http://lea-linux.org/reseau/iptables.html Setting up a firewall using iptables (in french)]<br />
<br />
== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

''# ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />

== Printer configuration ==<br />
<br />
<br />
All three printers at IRIDIA (see table "General Information") can be installed as "network printers" on your operating system ([https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/printing/C/printing.html#network Ubuntu 8.10], [http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8670.html Mac OS X], [http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/WinXP/printing.html Windows XP]). On *nix-like systems (should work also Mac OS X but if you have problems read next paragraph), the most convenient option is to install the printers using the '''LPD/LPR printing protocol''' and the drivers provided in the table below. These drivers also support some additional (hardware) features installed on the printers as listed in the table "Installable Options". On Windows XP, please install the driver '''before''' setting up a network printer. If asked to specify a "QUEUE", leave it in blank or use the value "raw_queue". The paper size should be set to A4, otherwise printers may get blocked. If you have difficulties, please contact the printers administrator (currently [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~mathews/ Nithin Mathews]). <br />
<br />
On some Mac (e.g. MacBook with Mac Os X 10.5.6) you could have problems printing in duplex mode (double side) with the Ricoh printers (Gutenberg should be fine). When you add the two printers the system will use the default postscript drivers that do not support duplex mode. Installing the suggested unix drivers does not help. The best solution is to go to the links listed under "Windows / Mac" in the table "Driver" and download the installer and install the proper driver.<br />

<div>== Network configuration ==<br />
You should get a static IP from the system administrator. Your hostname will be the name of a famous scientist and the domain is ulb.ac.be. Other relevant addresses are:<br />

<br />
== Firewall configuration ==<br />
Since the computers are available through direct connections from internet you should protect your machine with a firewall.<br />
Linux provides an integrated mechanism for accepting or rejecting incoming packets. <br />
<br />
If you want to setup a good firewall quickly, you may use the following link :<br />
[http://easyfwgen.morizot.net/gen/ Firewall script generator]<br />
<br />
<br />
'''How to generate the firewall script ?'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Usually, the interface to internet is eth0. You can check your available interfaces<br />
by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ifconfig -a''<br />
<br />
Most of the time, you wish to have an access to the computer, but you still want it<br />
to be secure. The best is to disable any inbound service except SSH. The SSH connections<br />
are encrypted so that you can safely access to the computer even if someone is tcpdumping<br />
your connection.<br />
<br />
For the moment, I don't know how to use the Fireparse format. If you know about it<br />
just use it. Otherwise you'll have to take a look at the logs (''/var/log/syslog'') to<br />
monitor the possible network problems or attacks.<br />
<br />
Now that you have all the necessary informations, you can generate the firewall script.<br />
Name this script ''iptables'', give it execution rights (''chmod u+x iptables'') and put it under the directory ''/etc/init.d/''. <br />
<br />
Be aware that the script loads some iptables modules in your kernel. If you have recompiled your kernel then you<br />
should ensure that the necessary modules are present. If you have statically linked the code to the kernel<br />
then you should remove the modprobe commands in the firewall's script.<br />
<br />
Now simply add a symbolic link in the runlevel 2 to this script by typing (as root) :<br />
<br />
''# ln -s /etc/init.d/iptables /etc/rc2.d/S12iptables''<br />
<br />
<br />
You should adapt the number 12 to your needs. The firewall must be run as early as possible. <br />
For example if telnet services are run before it, an attack is still possible. Be careful about this.<br />
<br />

### Other events: [BOOKED] Event name / Responsible Name<br />
## Select the calendars that are concerned in the participants tab. '''ATENTION''': for all events select the "''empty participant''", this is the public calendar that is displayed as All events on the calendar header. If the event is in the seminar room add the "Seminar Room" participant.<br />
### Iridia seminar: "IRIDIA Seminars", "Robotics calendar", "Optimization calendar", "semAdmin"<br />
### Optimization seminar : "Optimization calendar", "semAdmin"<br />
### Robotics seminar: "Robotics calendar", "semAdmin"<br />
### Courses and other: "semAdmin"<br />
<br />
<br />
==How to Manage Iridia Seminars==<br />
<br />
When scheduling an Iridia seminar you can ask the speaker or the responsible of the seminar to complete the [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/seminars/new-seminar.phtml New Seminar Form], an xml description will arrive to you mail with the information of the seminar. The IRIDIA seminars can be divided into two main types: internal seminars (IS) and external seminars (ES). Note that each class of seminars need a slightly different management procedure.<br />
<br />
# Ask for '''confirmation''' of the seminar date and time to at least one person from MD, MB, or TS. <br />
# Add an entry to the IRIDIA Seminar Database (only for ES):<br />
## Create a folder on your PC called "seminars/"<br />
## Copy the semPush script to "seminars/"<br />
## Create an xml file containing the xml received by email "FirstnameLastname.xml". <br />
## Execute "./semPush FirstnameLastname.xml" from a terminal<br />
## Check on [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/seminars/ IRIDIA Seminars List] that the entry has been successfully added<br />
# Update the [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/Calendars/month.php IRIDIA's Calendars] and book the seminar room:<br />
## Login into the system<br />
## Add an entry into the seminar for the requested date using the format explained previously.<br />
## If the location is the IRIDIA Seminar room then fill the 'Location' field of the calendar with 'SEMINAR ROOM, IRIDIA'.<br />
## Always use timed events and remember to add the duration of the event<br />
# Send reminders for the seminars (only in case of ES)<br />
## Login into the [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be IRIDIA server]<br />
## Send new seminar comunication (where <key> is a date in the format YYYY-MM-DD): "./semMail -s -m <key>"<br />
## Send reminder: "./semMail -s -r <key>"<br />
## Ensure that the semMail script has a seminar admin email address as sender!<br />
<br />
== Some notes about announcing seminars ==<br />
* To be able to send emails to the Seminars mailing list you need to have the flag "mod" not checked in the Membership Management section of the Seminars mailing list.<br />
* Your email address needs to be subscribed to the list of forwarded addresses of "semAdmin@iridia.ulb.ac.be". Ask the administrator of iridia.ulb.ac.be if you need to be added.<br />
* Make sure your email is configured as the sender in the ''semMail'' script ($from_address = 'Leslie Perez Caceres <lperez@iridia.ulb.ac.be>';).<br />
<br />
== Some notes about the Calendar software ==<br />
<br />
* We are using [http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php WebCalendar]. The current version is probably very outdated and may be a security risk. It should be (carefully) updated to use the version current in Debian, so it receives automatic security updates.<br />
<br />
* It would be ideal to find a way to add events directly from a script, so many steps above could be automated. It should be possible, since it is possible to [http://www.k5n.us/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#WebCalendar_Mini-Guides add events from external applications]. However, how to do it from a script is not clear. Someone will have to read the WebCalendar documentation to find out how to do it.<br />

==How to Manage Iridia Seminars==<br />
<br />
When scheduling an Iridia seminar you can ask the speaker or the responsible of the seminar to complete the [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/seminars/new-seminar.phtml New Seminar Form], an xml description will arrive to you mail with the information of the seminar. The IRIDIA seminars can be divided into two main types: internal seminars (IS) and external seminars (ES). Note that each class of seminars need a slightly different management procedure.<br />
<br />
# Ask for '''confirmation''' of the seminar date and time to at least one person from MD, MB, or TS. <br />
# Add an entry to the IRIDIA Seminar Database (only for ES):<br />
## Create a folder on your PC called "seminars/"<br />
## Copy the semPush script to "seminars/"<br />
## Create an xml file containing the xml received by email "FirstnameLastname.xml". <br />
## Execute "./semPush FirstnameLastname.xml" from a terminal<br />
## Check on [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/seminars/ IRIDIA Seminars List] that the entry has been successfully added<br />
# Update the [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/Calendars/month.php IRIDIA's Calendars] and book the seminar room:<br />
## Login into the system<br />
## Add an entry into the seminar for the requested date using the format explained previously.<br />
## If the location is the IRIDIA Seminar room then fill the 'Location' field of the calendar with 'SEMINAR ROOM, IRIDIA'.<br />
## Always use timed events and remember to add the duration of the event<br />
# Send reminders for the seminars (only in case of ES)<br />
## Login into the [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be IRIDIA server]<br />
## Send new seminar comunication (where <key> is a date in the format YYYY-MM-DD): "./semMail -s -m <key>"<br />
## Send reminder: "./semMail -s -r <key>"<br />
## Ensure that the semMail script has a seminar admin email address as sender!<br />
<br />
== Some notes about announcing seminars ==<br />
* To be able to send emails to the Seminars mailing list you need to have the flag "mod" not checked in the Membership Management section of the Seminars mailing list.<br />
* Your email address needs to be subscribed to the list of forwarded addresses of "semAdmin@iridia.ulb.ac.be". Ask the administrator of iridia.ulb.ac.be if you need to be added.<br />
* Make sure your email is configured as the sender in the ''semMail'' script ($from_address = 'Leslie Perez Caceres <lperez@iridia.ulb.ac.be>';).<br />
<br />
== Some notes about the Calendar software ==<br />
<br />
* We are using [http://www.k5n.us/webcalendar.php WebCalendar]. The current version is probably very outdated and may be a security risk. It should be (carefully) updated to use the version current in Debian, so it receives automatic security updates.<br />
<br />
* It would be ideal to find a way to add events directly from a script, so many steps above could be automated. It should be possible, since it is possible to [http://www.k5n.us/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#WebCalendar_Mini-Guides add events from external applications]. However, how to do it from a script is not clear. Someone will have to read the WebCalendar documentation to find out how to do it.<br />
