This server does a variety of things for its users. Very few of these services are open to the public; such services will be marked. In general, this webpage is only useful to people who have local accounts, or people who want to break in to the machine.
Because of the content of this page, it does not allow most people to edit it. You can add anything you like to the comments page mentioned at the bottom.
HTTP
~user
All local users get homepages at all of the open domains 1 in the form of http://www.domain/~user/. If you like, https://www.clanspum.net/~user/ works, though warns about the key being for webmail.clanspum.net instead of www.clanspum.net. Your data is as safe as it would be with an SSL key which didn't warn you.
Once you are logged in, make a directory ~user/clanspum/ and put your webpage into it. For SSL, ~user/clanspum-s/. For spum.us, ~user/spum/.
VHosting
Third-level domains (something.somedomain) are trivial to set up for any of the open domains.
The server currently hosts over 10 domains. Adding one more isn't a problem. Thus, all users can have whatever domains they want to register. Domain registration currently costs $6/year for most top-level domains.
Both of these options require contacting <root AT clanspum DOT net> and asking for something to be set up.
Scripting
All users have access to every scripting system that the admins wanted to play with. This includes (but is not limited to) PHP 5, Python, Perl, Ruby and Lisp. Most common packages for these languages are installed. Other packages can be requested and will probably be installed.
SuExec is not installed at this time. Please make sure that your scripts work with this in mind. If this is a serious issue, let an admin know and we can figure something out.
Blogging
Several popular blogging packages are installed and ready to be used. On request one can be set up, or a different one can be installed. See BloggingSoftware for more information.
Wiki
There is a wiki for general use at http://wiki.clanspum.net/ . It is currently using the MoinMoin package. Additional wikis can be set up without much hassle.
Webmail
An install of Squirrelmail (plus some neat plugins) can be found at https://webmail.clanspum.net/ . It should provide a decent way to get email without using a client. If your only experience with Squirrelmail is at the TCC, this is better.
Incoming
Mail is accepted using Postfix. No common anti-spam packages are running on incoming mail. In fact, the only anti-spam measures are some homebrewed ones with near-0 false-positive rate. Users can receive email at user@domain for all of the open domains. Plus addressing (user+foo@domain for any foo) works as it should on any sane mail system.
On request, users can also receive mail at foo@user.spum.us for any foo. This is a trick for those (broken) systems that don't accept plus addresses.
Receiving
IMAP/SSL and POP3/SSL are available for users and should work with any reader which implements those standards.
Locally, the mutt, pine and emacs mail reading environments are available.
Outgoing
Using SMTP Auth over TLS, users can send email from anywhere via the server. Port 587 is preferred for client apps, though 25 is acceptable if needed.
SSH
Everyone with an account can SSH to clanspum.net and get a shell. There are no limits on reasonable activities here. If you plan on using a lot 2 of space it would be good form to let an admin know. Likewise, if you plan on using a lot of processor time or RAM you should let us know and possibly even ask before doing so. If you are going to use really a lot 3 of bandwidth you should definitely let an admin know.
Proxies
Tor
We are a Tor exit node. This isn't really a service to users as much as it is a service to ... people.
Squid
Use an SSH tunnel from your machine to here, port 8080. Make use of the Squid proxy. I have done my best to remove anything that would indicate that you are using a proxy, but no guarantees.
