Bug#397497: getting rid of mldonkey_users

Hi spiralvoice,

As you already told us, the tool mldonkey_users that we used in Debian
is not anymore compatible with the new users.ini format. It would take
me some time to adapt the mldonkey_users script and anyway this is not a
good solution to duplicate the code. Could mldonkey provide itself a way
to modify users.ini (i.e. add users, remove users, etc.) using command line?

Hi,

I posted a patch to create a new parameter "-useradd" for MLDonkey to
be used in postinst script. You should find the patch in bug 397497.

Please test it, command "useradd" should be enough for the init scripts.

The other stuff, like removing users should be done from inside MLDonkey
core ifself because at the point when args are parsed, no network modules
are loaded, therefore files.ini is not loaded. MLDonkey core at the arg parsing
stage can not block the deletion of users with current downloads, which is a
necessary function to avoid confusion for users.

IMHO even the process of setting an admin password in MLDonkey should
not be done with init scripts but from inside MLDonkey.
If the default of allowed_ips (127.0.0.1) is changed and the admin password
is empty, all admin users get a warning message when logging in.

is a very urgent bug. Current behaviour does not send broken data, but
causes very ineffective transfer of data. My test showed that all data sent
to eMule clients is sent twice! This is going on since at least MLDonkey 2.5.16. I found the bug also in Mulus 0.18.1 which is based on the very 2.5.16 version
of MLdonkey. My feeling is that eMule once changed their behaviour and no
one noticed that MLDonkey could not cope with it until now...

Greetings, spiralvoice
