Description Udo Beckmann 2003-08-20 13:20:45 UTC

within /etc/init.d/mldonkey wget is use do communicat with mlnet. There are 
line like 
 
wget --spider http://$DONKSRV:4080/submit?q=close_fds -q 
 
and lines like 
 
wget --spider 
http://localhost:${MLPORT}/submit?q=set+max_hard_download_rate+${MLLOWDOWN} -q 
 
The variable $MLPORT is defined in /etc/conf.d/mldonkey. It's default value is 
4080. The variable DONKSRV _is not_ defined in /etc/conf.d/mldonkey. 
 
The start/stop script should either consistently use 
 
http://localhost:${MLPORT} 
or 
http://$DONKSERV:{$MLPORT} 
 
The 2nd alternative is mor flexible because it allows definitions like 
 
DONKSERV=username:password@localhost 
 
in /etc/conf.d/mldonkey. Using DONKSERV this way lets "/etc/init.d/mldonkey 
slow" and "/etc/init.d/mldonkey fast" work in case you don't use the default 
user (admin, empty password) to communicate with mlnet. OK, this method also 
isn't very secure but might be acceptable on desktop environments
