Functionality
Feature after useful feature has been put into UntzUntz LAN Scan. Of course
since it is still being developed even more are on the way! Here is a brief list
of features included in UntzUntz LAN Scan.
Username & Password
UntzUntz LAN Scan supports logging into shares to do searches on them. Of course,
if you are using UntzUntz LAN Scan on your home network, you may not need that so
simply pass 'guest' as the user with no password.
Workgroups
UntzUntz LAN Scan also supports passing a workgroup to the smbclient program.
Results Per Page
UntzUntz LAN Scan has configuration and on-the-fly options to specify how many
results you want to see on each page of results. A default of 15, but can be
modified in the configuration file or passing a parameter to the CGI program.
User-Side robots.txt
This feature allows users on your network to stop UntzUntz LAN Scan from searching
their shares/directories. Why would they want to do this you ask? Well perhaps
their computer is really slow and it can't handle the scanning very well...or maybe
they just want their files kept to them selves. Putting robots.txt in the root
of the share blocks the entire share. If it is in any other directory, that directory
will be blocked.
There is also a configuration to allow the administrator to override the user's
robots.txt file.
Server-Side robots.txt
This feature allows the administrator to specify a 'robots.txt' file which includes
directives as to allow or deny certain computers/shares/directories from being
indexed. See the Read Me file for more information about
the file and it's format.
