Bug 80430 – phpnetemgui-0.4.ebuild (New Package)

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stephen Earl 2005-02-02 01:40:31 UTC]

This is a php based user interface for the Netem network emulator which is part of the most recent Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.  Netem is a commandline based network impairment emulator which lets you add things like packet delay, packet loss and packet duplication to any network interface.  This user interface makes Netem easier to use by allowing the user to enter values in boxes to create any combination of rules for any number of interfaces, instead of having to type several complex commands.  The interface also makes Netem easier to use on systems with bridges because it can be made to show only the interfaces used in a selected bridge.  The program currently depends on the Apache webserver and Sudo to let apache run the 'tc' command as required by Netem.

I would suggest putting it in www-apps as it uses the webapp eclass.

Thanks for the ebuild. I'm afraid this is a WONTFIX for the time being, due to this (from INSTALL):

=====
The following line will enable PHPnetemGUI to work:
%apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /<path>/<to>/tc

Note, that this is almost certainly a nasty security hole.
