    you should try Corel Painter

  19. chrooted version on A TCP/IP Stack and Web Server In BASIC · · Score: 1

    So I pondered and decided to investigate chroot
    I had to make the following tree ./bin ./bin/tcpserver ./bin/webserver.rc ./bin/cat ./bin/date ./bin/head ./bin/tr ./bin/wc ./bin/awk ./bin/magic.mime ./bin/file ./bin/test ./bin/rc ./bin/ls ./bin/server.rc ./bin/sed ./document_root ./document_root/index.html ./usr ./usr/libexec ./usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 ./usr/lib ./usr/lib/libc.so.4 ./usr/lib/libgnuregex.so.2 ./usr/lib/libm.so.2

    then as root :
    chroot /home/matt/awkwebserver/ bin/server.rc

    and bin/server.rc looks like

    #!bin/rc /bin/tcpserver 192.168.1.100 8012 /bin/webserver.rc -u 80 -g 80

    and viola : a secure* read only web server
    You can add more options to tcpserver to limit the connections / memory usage etc.

    20 seconds to respond seems to sound wrong I hope
