•	The USERPROF.DAT database has been replaced with a new database format that is much more reliable. Included is a program called NEWUPROF.EXE. To upgrade your USERPROF.DAT file, install and start the new server. Then run NEWUPROF.EXE and follow the instructions.

•	If a QWK packet is being downloaded in the transfer client, another QWK packet cannot be created right away in the terminal client in order to prevent problems with the user's message pointers.

•	Fixed some problems in the server that would occur if there were invalid file volume names present in the configuration.

•	The sysop user editor now uses the correct number of days for expiring users when changing a user's security profile.

•	wcRepair will now squeeze out unused space in the USERS.DAT and USERCONF.DAT database files (this step was already being performed for FILES.DAT).

•	If a DEFAULT user exists, then the sysop user editor will prompt to use the default record as a template when adding a new user.

Wildcat!

08/15/96 - The presence of a default user (named DEFAULT) no longer causes the online user listing to appear to hang.

08/14/96 - The sysop node management screen now deals with hitting [N]ext or [P]rev at the end or beginning of the list of nodes.

08/14/96 - The sysop node management screen now reports the actual number of nodes available, instead of 250.

08/14/96 - Pressing Enter or an invalid protocol selection when asked for a download protocol will no longer count the download as successful.

08/14/96 - The user's call counter is no longer incremented if they fail a login birthdate or phone number check. This means that they can no longer call back right away and bypass the birthdate or phone number check. (This does not affect password security, which is not based on the call counter.)

08/14/96 - Blank user names entered by typing in only punctuation when asked for a user name are no longer allowed.

08/14/96 - Fixed a problem in the server that would cause it to slow down if wcMail was running and there were a lot of newsgroup conferences that did not have any mail.

08/14/96 - wcMail will now immediately deliver mail addressed to your own domain, without going through an external provider.

08/13/96 - There is now a per-user switch that disables MIME message decoding. If a user is using the POP3 server with a MIME-capable mail reader, the user will want to preserve MIME encoded messages.

08/12/96 - An invalid door path is now reported properly when trying to run a door.

08/09/96 - New users calling with the Navigator now have their expire date set properly.

Updating your prompt file with ADDPROMPTS.EXE

Additional prompts were added to the ANSI interface. You will need to update your prompt file manually. We have provided a utility program, ADDPROMPTS.EXE, to help you do this.

To update your prompts:

•	Shut down wcSERVER and any client programs that may be running.

•	Use Explorer (Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0) or File Manager (Windows NT 3.x) to change to your WILDCAT home directory (normally C:\WC5).

•	Double-click the ADDPROMPTS.EXE icon.

When the operation is complete, ADDPROMPTS will display a message indicating how many prompts were updated.


CGI in Wildcat

The Wildcat web server now supports CGI programs. A Computers icon has been added to wcConfig to define CGI paths and other computer-specific items.

What is CGI?

The acronym CGI stands for “Common Gateway Interface”. It allows your callers to run external programs from your HTML pages.

Typically, a CGI program takes input from a caller, does something with it, then sends its output back to the caller. Some examples include:

•	A counter that shows how many people have visited this page

•	A query engine that searches a database for user-entered keywords, and returns the results as dynamically-generated HTML.

•	A “guest book” page that allows callers to read comments left by other users, and leave comments of their own.

•	An on-line order entry system.

Creating CGI programs

Any programming language that can produce executable programs (.EXE files), for instance C++, Delphi or Visual Basic, can be used to create CGI programs.

A lengthy discussion of CGI programming is beyond the scope of this document. If you are new to the subject of web page development, we encourage you to make use of the many excellent books and online tutorials that are now available on the subject of web page creation, HTML programming and CGI.

Security

Because CGI programs are executed from an URL (Uniform Resource Locator), users could conceviably type an URL in their browser, specifying an executable program with command line arguments. This has the potential to compromise the security of your system!

To protect yourself from security breaches:

•	Visit http://www-genome.wi.mit.edu/WWW/faqs/www-security-faq.htmland follow the links to find out more about security issues on the World Wide Web.

•	Do NOT point the CGI-path at your WILDCAT home directory (normally C:\WC5) or at any other path within your Wildcat! directory structure, particularly one that contains executable files other than the ones you want your callers to launch from your HTML pages. The safest location is a path completely outside your Wildcat! tree, for instance C:\CGI.

For security reasons, Wildcat! does not execute “scripts” that are processed through CGI interpreters such as PERL.EXE, BASH.EXE, CSH.EXE, KSH.EXE, JAVA.EXE, PYTHON.EXE, SH.EXE, TCLSH.EXE, TCSH.EXE, VCL.EXE, or WISH.EXE.

Configuration

To configure CGI for your system, follow these steps:

Define a CGI path

•	Start wcConfig and open the Computers icon.

•	Use the Add button to add a computer to the list. The default settings will apply to all computers you do not explicitly define here.

•	Select a CGI path. Wildcat! uses this path to locate the executable program specified in your HTML link.

Use the Browse button to select a directory, or type the path directly in the path field. Your settings should look something like the screen below: You can set a default CGI path to be used for all computers, and you can override the CGI path on any particular computer.

Copy your CGI programs to your CGI path.

The programs will not be executed if they are outside this path, for security reasons.

Add your CGI programs to your HTML pages

A sample CGI program is included: CGITEST.EXE. This is a simple CGI diagnostic program that displays its command line, posted data, and current environment. To try it, copy CGITEST.EXE to your CGI path (do not run it from your WILDCAT home directory) and add the following sample link to one of your HTML pages:.

<a href="/public/cgi/cgitest.exe?whatever">Run CGITest</a>

Note that the the URL for CGI programs is always /cgi/programname.exe or /public/cgi/programname.exe, but the actual CGI path is configured in the Computers icon in wcConfig..


POP3 (Post Office Protocol)

POP3 is a widely adopted mail-retrieval protocol used over TCP/IP. POP3 allows callers with an internet connection to read mail in Conference 0 of your system, using a variety of easily-obtained internet mail readers. For security reasons, POP3 requires users to logon to the server to retrieve mail. Users will be propmted for their Wildcat! user logon name and password. POP3 is one-way, in that it only sends incoming mail to the users internet mail reader. The reader uses an SMTP server to send outgoing mail.

Configuring POP3 on your Wildcat! Server

To configure Wildcat! for POP3 connections:

•	Verify that wcServer is running, then start wcConfig.

•	Open the Node Settings icon.

•	Select one or more nodes that are not being used for modem lines, and edit each node. Each node can support one POP3 connection at a time.

•	Under Call types, turn on POP3. You can select more than one type of connection for a single node: Local, Telnet, HTTP, FTP and POP3. The following screen shows a correctly configured node.

POP3 E-mail Clients

Some popular POP3 compatible mail clients include:

•	Netscape (visit http://home.netscape.com/comprod/mirror/index.html to download). Use the Windows/Netscape mail command in Netscape to pop up the mail reader.

•	Eudora

•	Pegasus Mail

These applications are freeware or shareware, and most are available for download from Mustang Online!.

Visit http://indy2.imt-mrs.fr/winter/cmail.html for a more extensive collection of mail clients, complete with reviewer’s comments!

Configuring mail applications to use POP3

The following settings are from Netscape’s Mail and News Preferences configuration. Other mail readers will have similar configuration settings. The following examples will send and retrive mail for users with mailboxes at Mustang Online.

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server	mail.mustang.com
Incoming Mail (POP) Server	online.mustang.com
Pop User Name	your.name
When you use the “get mail” command (or equivalent) in your mail reader, you will be prompted to enter your user name and password. Your user name is the “internet” style name, minus the domain name. For instance SCOTT HUNTER’s user name in his POP3 mail client is scott.hunter. Your password must be entered in all upper case.


SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
wcSMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)

What is wcSMTP?

SMTP stands for “Simple Mail Transfer Protocol”, and has become the most widely used transport for transferring mail from one host to another. SMTP sends mail point-to-point rather than through a network hierarchy, allowing for fast delivery. Mail can also be routed for a number of systems to a single mail server, or routed using other mail protocols such as POP3 and UUCP to individual recipient machines or other mail servers that spool mail to other networks.

Configuring Wildcat! to use STMP

Unlike UUCP, SMTP requires a full-time connection to the Internet with a static IP address in order to receive and send mail from other systems. If you do not have a full-time connection, you will not be able to run wcSMTP.

To configure Wildcat! for SMTP mail:

Without a currently installed UUCP host:

•	Verify that wcServer is running, then start wcConfig and open the SMTP icon

•	Type your domain name (for instance mustang.com) in the domain name field, then click OK to save your changes and return to the wcConfig control panel.

•	Start wcSMTP server.

•	Start wcMAIL server.

With a currently installed UUCP host:

•	Verify that wcServer is running, then start wcConfig and open the Networking icon.

•	Verify the correct path for your spool directory, then click OK to save your changes and return to the wcConfig control panel.

•	Start wcSMTP server.

•	Start wcMAIL server.

wcSMTP uses the same spool directories that are used by wcMAIL, but does not use the Alternate spool path (commonly used for incoming Satellite news). If you wish to change the spool directory for any reason, click the Networking icon in wcConfig to edit the primary host spool directory. Translations are all handled within wcMail and are therefore configurable from within the 'Networking' applet in wcConfig.

Both wcMAIL and wcSMTP must be running in order to transport SMTP mail — wcMAIL does the job of importing and exporting messages from Wildcat!, while wcSMTP takes care of processing the mail to and from other mail hosts.

DNS Configuration

DNS configuration may be different from implementation to implementation, therefore discussion will be limited to the basics here.

If you run a DNS at your own site, you’ll need to change the ‘mail exchange’ (mx) record for your domain name to point to the system that will be running the wcSMTP server.

If your DNS services are provided by your ISP, you should contact your ISP and tell them you are implementing an SMTP server on-site and would like to have your 'mx' record stored on their DNS changed to point to your machine running the wcSMTP server.

What about my newsgroups?

SMTP does not transport Usenet newsgroups.  It is strictly for Internet Email.  An existing UUCP configuration with a provider can be maintained, and allow wcSMTP to transport and receive mail rather than UUCP.  Don’t forget to contact your ISP and ask them to change the mail record on their DNS to point to the wcSMTP server on the local network, unless the local network has a DNS server already set up, and the domain has already been registered with the Internic.

For example, a system may have used Holonet to transport their email and network using wcUUCP, and decide to implement the new wcSMTP server. In order to do so, they must make the appropriate changes to their DNS server, or to the DNS server they are using at Holonet.
