Package: ipcheck
Version: 0.207-2
Severity: 

The script works with SMC routers specifically the 7004ABR Barricade and the 7004VBR Barricade only if you login before you run the script, set the administrator timeout to zero and kill the browser.  THIS CONFIGURATION IS UNACCEPTABLE!  This leaves the router config open on the linux box in question and does not allow for a proper securing of the router.  ANY person logging in on the linux box in question running the ipcheck script with the open router login will have access to modifythe router if connected.  This is a major security hole. 

Your script in an ideal situation for both routers should do the following:

1.  Log in to the router.
2.  switch to the status.HTM page on the router
3.  Read the IP address
4.  Log out of the router.

This should occur with an administrator login timeout  of ten minutes.

I am willing to test your script but am unable to write in python.  I do
not know python scripting.
