No rush Serge, it'll take however long it'll take !
I was just wondering if it is still something you're working on.

Surely. I've already completed a part of the test but the scripts adaptation for
DL is still required, i.e. we have to write either a wrapper or configuration
tool (something like an autoconf script).

There is my first impression of etcnet -
it's a really felicitous design, easy and powerful.

I'm sorry for the delay and I'll try to speed up the process.

Hey,

I don't think there's an elegant way right now.
You can always just create your own init script from the /etc/init.d/skeleton file and make sure it starts early, then you don't have to worry about it being overwritten by an update.

I would wait with changing the init script, Bruce was planing on replacing the scripts. Is that still correct Bruce?

OK so you did set the external port to fetch the IP via DHCP from your  
provider?

What's the output of
ifconfig -a
route -n
lsmod

Are you sure you know which of the ports is eth0?
Disconnect the internal network for now, so that you don't open it up  
the internet by accident.
Did you try simply plugging the cable for the provider in the other  
network card?

[Devil-Linux-discuss] Smart way to assign secondary IPs to loopback?

[Rudner, B. <br...@ba...>]

Hi List,

I'm using DL with heartbeat - ldirector and apache for a long time now.

Now I'm doing some tests with upgrades from the "old" /etc to the "new" /etc - storage.

One thing that I ran over on this is the following:

Since I use Apache as an active/active-cluster on two boxes I need to assign a whole bunch of secondary IP-addresses (right now > 20 virtual-IP-Addresses) to the Loopback-Interface.
(Ldirector routes these from one node to the other and therefore the IP-Adresses must be known there internally - Also the Apaches bind to these addresses.)

Heartbeat then removes them from the Loopback and assings them to the physical interface and issues an arp-update to the connected routers on the active node.
On the other hand it removes these IP-adresses from the physical NIC and assignes it back to the Loopback as the node goes standby.

At the moment I have just added some "ip addr add" commands to /etc/init.d/localnet. The adresses must be known before apache and heartbeat starts (else heartbeat will not move them back to loopback when the node goes standby)

Since this is a quick & dirty method I also have to keep an eye on that file on every DL-update (it is not choosen to be kept by default on updates)

Now to my question:

Is there already a smarter way (I may have overlooked) to assign secondary IP-addresses to the loopback interface early in the boot-process without the need to change the init-scripts?

If there is not I might try to rework the localnet-script to reflect those needs to keep this update-save.

Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Okay A Problem I'm a Newbie

[Fred F. <ffr...@lo...>]

I would give the firewall a FIXED local ip (on the 192.168.1.0 network).
I am not sure the default firewall.rules script can deal with DHCP
interfaces (I may be wrong there).

If you are really seeing etho1 (notice the extra 'o') then grep for that
in you config files and change that by eth1 or eth0 (depends on what is
failing).

I am not sure where else to look though. 
Good luck

Alright I know this is probably going to be a Dumb Little Mistake i'm
making, but I cannot figure it out.

Alright so I know what you guys are going to say, just buy a router, I'm
NOT buying a router, I'm doing it this way ok.. :)

Alright I have 2 computers that I want to have internet to. I have a
hub, and I also am using one of my old pentium 2's for a firewall.

My connection goes like this

The internet -> My Cable Modem -> My Fire-Linux firewall -> Hub -> Both
of my computers

Alright so I configured my firewall, I have 2 Ethernet cards, like your
supposed to. One goes in, one comes out :)

So heres my problem. The Firewall seems to get my connection fine, I can
ping google, and whatnot from the Firewall, I have the Incoming Ethernet
card set To Receive the Ip Automatically, and the 2nd Ethernet card to
send out ( Hopefully ) the connection, being my own DHCP and assigning
ips to the other computers.

When I get on my computer, it will not let me get on the internet, It
can't "acquire" It's own IP from the server , and I can't get on the
internet :(

What Am I doing wrong.

I have the correct modules for each ethernet card ( they are the same
type of card )

I do get one error on startup saying something about etho1, although It
never gives me enough time to read it fully.
Something about etho1

It's not obvious what's wrong but your range is misconfigured (or there's a typo 
in your email):

range [ dynamic-bootp ] low-address [ high-address];

It could also be there is another dhcp server appearing on the net and confusing 
things.  Does one of your workstations run dhcp perhaps?

The lease itself is for 10 days but the

If there is no dhcp server then what happens depends on the client.  Some 
clients allocate an address in the 169 range for example and some continue to 
use the old address and some just don't ...

I don't know why the permissions are different.  What happens if you delete 
dhcpd.leases~ ?  It should get recreated.

[Devil-Linux-discuss] DHCP problem

[Chris H. <Chr...@ha...>]

I am having problems with Devil Linux 1.2.14. I installed from
devil-linux-1.2.14-i686-SMP-server.tar.bz2 download. I am not sure if it
is a hardware problem or compatibility issue or just a simple setting I
am missing. 

The only service I really need is DHCP for a small guest network and
then SSH for management. I like the idea of using a small distro like
this for this purpose but I am having problems getting it to work. 

If I boot up DevilLinux on the pc that as acting as a DHCP server and
immediately have workstations power up they get a lease no problem. If
DL is running for awhile and a workstation powers up or reboots they
usually don't get a lease. The lease itself is for 10 days but the
workstation will not have a valid address on the network if the DL pc is
down. 

My /etc/dhcpd.conf reads as follows:

authoritative;
default-lease-time 864000;
max-lease-time 864000;
lease-file-name "/etc/dhcpd.leases";
get-lease-hostnames false;
use-host-decl-names on;
ddns-update-style none;
option domain-name "guestdomain.com"
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  option domain-name-servers X.X.X.X; 
  option routers Y.Y.Y.Y;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
  range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.1
}

When I look for the lease file I see two in /etc/ dhcpd.leases and
dhcpd.leases~ 
dhcpd.leases has -rw-r--r--
dhcpd.leases~ has -rwxrwxrwx

I am running this on an older HP vectra. When I tried to install on a
newer but still old HP e500 PC the install program couldn't find the
module for the on board network card which it identified as an Intel
82801. Assuming I could find a driver can they be added to DL or am I
better off buying a different nic in which case which one is the best to
try for?


Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

>> NOTES of a 1370 install under GENTOO LINUX <<

Here are detailed notes from installing a 1371 under gentoo, which
took me quite a while.
They may of some use. I'm not done much with DL, except use it as a
great stand-alone router.

I understand the drivers should be loaded automatically (& I think
intelligently) if compiled as modules,
but it seemed safer to compile them in directly

Assuming the kernel source is installed:

 to recompile the kernel

cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
  SELECT:
   Device Drivers -> Sound ->
      <* > Sound card Support
            <*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
                 in this I enabled most everything like the OSS options
                PCI devices
                  <*> (Createive) Ensoniq AudioPCI 1370      [about
1/2 way  down, right next to my 1370]
                   just to be safe, I turned on the 1371 as well

 make && make modules_install
cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.24-gentoo-r5

                  x86_64 for the AMD64 , you may need another image
                & update lilo or grub

The results of menuconfig are stored in ".config", so I keep copies
of it named with the same postfix as I name the matching kernel in /boot

Since I'm using gentoo w/ AMD64, I reference the compile instructions in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=7
but there's all similar

You may need to Install alsa-oriented packages.I ran emerge (gentoo's
version of apt-get)
on everything that looks like it might be relevant.  I've the 1371. I
can get sound from use mp3blaster
& mplayer, but not from ogg123.  I don't understand why. I also needed
to use the
"t" option in mp3blaster to toggle thru the mixer options to make sure
everything was
turned up.  Installing alsamixer & turning up the vol on everything
may be useful as well.
vmware under gentoo does not see any sound card.

I put in the 1371 card afterI having no success using the MB audio.

Good luck,

Chip
