In order to make it harder for clients to allow connections from pollster while blocking everyone else, pollster will now change IP addresses every minute. The pollster box will need a secondary interface (default: eth1) in order to do this. Before each poll, the mac address of the interface is changed to a random address with a particular vendor code (default: 00:01:c0 (FitPC)) and a new address is requested via DHCP. All connections made from pollster are bound to the new address, forcing them out through the secondary interface. This caused some problems, since the poll function for cat.cgi previously relied on urllib, which did not support binding. I ended up having to subclass http.client.HTTPConnection and override __init__() and connect(). These changes necessitated two new global configuration variables: (1) POLL_MAC_VENDOR : the vendor code to use in the random MAC (2) POLL_IFACE : the secondary interface to use I also fixed a bug where an empty string would be interpreted as a valid team name. 2010-01-22 16:57:45 -07:00			`#!/bin/sh`
