Maxscape Control Daemon

The Maxscape control daemon is used to for user authorization and management tasks.

/maxscape/etc/maxdaemon.conf   # Configuration file.
/maxscape/etc/init.d/maxdaemon # Start/stop script.
/maxscape/sbin/maxdaemon       # Control daemon.
/maxscape/server/maxdaemon/lib/perl/Maxscape/ServerApplication.pm # Control daemon callbacks:

The callbacks are defined in the file ServerApplication.pm.src file. Set NETWORK_WATCH=1 to enable droping nasty sockets (SYN-RECV). You can add more firewall iptables rules in the callback Control Daemon callback functions. Use mkdist maxdaemon to produce a new ServerApplication.pm for the run-time system.

Set ENABLE_WATCH_CLIENT_REQUEST=1 to drop too many requests in your Maxdaemon HTTP server configuration file (e.g. /maxdaemon/etc/maxdaemon-maxscape.com.conf).

Note, before enabling the above options, that the current implementation assumes that there are no other firewall table rules defined. Otherwise, you'll need to adapt the code.

See '/etc/sysctl.conf' for adjustmants of the hosts's firewall (e.g. net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies=1) setup.
