net/pwhois 2.2.1.0_2 DragonFly

Whois-compatible framework for disclosing routing data

System: DragonFly
Repository: DPorts
Maintainer: [email protected] (as in FreeBSD)
Categories: net
Package size: 98.0 KiB, 359.1 KiB installed

Description

The Prefix WhoIs Project provides a whois-compatible client and server framework for disclosing various up-to-date routing information. Instead of using registrar-originated network information (which is often unspecific or inaccurate), Prefix WhoIs uses the Internet's global routing table as gleaned from a number of routing peers around the world. Other sources of information, such as imported data from ARIN are also supported (a separate agreement with ARIN is required).

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 2.2.1.0, as upstream numbers it.

Message after installing

This port requires additional tasks before it will function properly.

1.  Create and initialize the database:
mysql> create database pwhois;
mysql> create user 'pwhois'@'localhost' identified by 'secret-password';
mysql> grant all privileges on pwhois.* to 'pwhois'@'localhost';
mysql> use pwhois;
mysql> \. /usr/local/share/pwhois/createdb.sql

2.  Edit /usr/local/etc/pwhois/pwhoisd.conf and update:
 * Database connection information
 * RouteView servers (some may be slower than others)

3.  Populate the database with data for the first time by running:
/usr/local/sbin/pwhois-updatedb

4.  Add the following to /etc/rc.conf:
pwhoisd_enable="YES"

5.  Start pwhoisd for the first time by running:
service pwhoisd start

6.  To enable daily updates, edit /etc/periodic.conf and add:
daily_pwhois_updatedb_enable="YES"
