How do you run aMule?
« on: January 07, 2005, 10:41:21 AM »
hi i currently use mldonkey and run it just on a different user, but mldonkey is ocaml not c++... and i know that c++ is bufferoverflow friendly ;) ... so what is the best way to "secure" aMule. does someone run aMule in a jail?... is there a readme with needed libs? (don't find something like that @ wiki)..

so whats your fav way to run aMule? ;)

bye

If you mean chroot "jail" - setting this up can be complicated thing, depending on your environment. aMule depend on a lot of libs (depends on how did you compiled it), use ld to find out which exactly. You may consider to run only daemon (amuled) in such environment, since it doesn't need any X related libs
