Any geeks here? Let me stick my fuzzy logic in your bash script.
 

Anyone know the difference between the md5 hashes php generates and a unix md5 password hash? Setting up a freehost and I don't want to use DES passwords.

Ok.. this might be more up your alley:

What types of files does a gallery owner REALLY need to serve.

I'm intending to limit it down to these types:

.html .htm (unconditionally)
.jpg .gif .png (if the refferer is good)

Am I missing anything vital? I'll setup another one that allows movies under 400k later, but I need to get this up and running pretty fast so i can be bling bling like the big boys.

I ate wendy's and my $15 is gone.

Only allow them to upload .bmp's, .pdfs, and .html

oh, and .tar.gz

that ones important

Can anyone help me with this rewrite rule?

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^.*\.html$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^.*\.htm$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^.*\.jpg$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^.*\.jpeg$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^.*\.gif$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^.*\.png$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^.*\.swf$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [F]

This works fine, except when you try to get a directory index without specifying a filename. So I tried adding:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^$ [NC]

as part of the rule, but to no avail -- I still get a forbidden on directory indexes unless I specify the filename.

If anyone is interested, I've seriously simplified it, but it still has the same flaw.. my rule is now:

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule !\.(html|htm|gif|jpg|swf|css|png)$ - [F]

I guess the geeks are only up during the day.

Just in case someone else needs this:

<Directory /whatever/dir/your/freehosting/is/in/>
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.theadultwire.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*\.(gif|jpg|swf|css|png)$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule !\.(html|htm|gif|jpg|swf|css|png)$ - [F]

Action add-footer /cgi-bin/wrapper.sh
AddHandler add-footer .html .htm

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm default.html default.htm
Options None
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
</Directory>

Now why didn't I think of that in the first place???
