Re: NetReg: Setting Up Netreg

[Ricardo S. <st...@ri...>]

One thing to keep in mind is understanding "how it works"  specially that
it completely depends on assigning fake DNS entries to redirect the users
to your portal. One thing we noticed in the last few years is the increase
in students coming in with hard coded DNS entries, usually Google's 8.8.8.8
or OpenDNS.

If that's the case, and there are no other protections in place, they will
just get right past NetReg. Simplest solution is for your network team to
block outbound DNS queries and that your helpdesk knows to troubleshoot
"not working calls" by first checking for static DNS entries.

I still manage a very hacked implementation but are working towards
replacing it with Aruba ClearPass which we already use for WiFi. We do have
older Cisco switches but they can do port authentication. Right know it
"works" but need to create documentation for the help desk.

Re: NetReg: Setting Up Netreg

[Wm. J. E. <wje...@ha...>]

I can't imagine how netreg would work without using ISC DHCP, since it
relies on having control of DHCP. You don't have to replace your
existing DNS, because registered machines will use it, but unregistered
machines will get fake DNS that points everything (or nearly everything)
at the netreg box, so you definitely also have to run DNS on it....

Re: NetReg: Setting Up Netreg

[Tim T. <ty...@be...>]

I think you can keep your dns, but your dhcp might have to change.   I
think one needs to use ISC’s dhcp on linux.   I would be curious if this is
not true for others.

Netreg is pretty old at this point, but still works. I think most people
(including me) who are still using it have heavily customized and hacked
it to meet their own needs. I don't think there's anything newer than
the install guide here:

Re: NetReg: netreg - non registration subnet

[Phil R. <pre...@al...>]

I think the subnet.dat file just makes the GUI view list correctly. You
would need to define the subnet with the vlan and IP ranges in the
dhcpd.conf file along with settings what ip are allowed and which are
restricted. I do all my updates in non live file called dhcpd.conf.new
which I then write to the dhcpd.conf file.

Re: NetReg: netreg - non registration subnet

[Wm. J. E. <wje...@ha...>]

Yes, I do. It uses the same nice features of ISC DHCPD that netreg does
(automatically detecting what network you're on by what address your
request was forwarded from, and handing you an appropriate lease) Here's
a small sample (I have it set up with a redundant pair, so that's what
the failover peer thing is about):

# ASH Media, VLAN 122
#
subnet 172.25.136.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
        pool {
                failover peer "dhcp";
                range 172.25.137.0 172.25.139.254;
        }
        option routers 172.25.136.1;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
        authoritative;
}

# Library Basement Media, VLAN 123
#
subnet 172.25.140.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 {
        pool {
                failover peer "dhcp";
                range 172.25.140.40 172.25.143.254;
        }
        option routers 172.25.140.1;
        option subnet-mask 255.255.252.0;
        authoritative;
}

Re: NetReg: netreg - non registration subnet

Josiah,

I have been thinking about doing that as a possible solution for some
time.  Did you use linux ISC dhcpd for your non registration dhcp server or
something else?

NetReg: netreg - non registration subnet

Netreg experts,

  If I want to have a subnet that does NOT require registration, do I need
to enter it into the subnet.dat file?  If so, how would I enter it given
there is no preregistration range?

Re: NetReg: self-registration

After logging in with a registered device NetReg will present the option 
to "Register a new device here."

Hi there,
    Perhaps I misunderstood, or perhaps I'm being daft. I've installed
this new version of netreg and it doesn't seem to have a mechanism for
users to register their own machines that don't have web browsers... but
I'm probably just not seeing it, as the changelog says it does. Can you
enlighten me?
    Thanks so much in advance!

NetReg: self-registration

[Wm. J. E. <wje...@ha...>]

Hi all,
    I seem to remember that somebody had added some code so that users
could register their own XBoxes, printers, blah blah, and I seem to
remember them saying they were willing to share. Is that person still on
this list and still willing to share? That would save me a lot of time 
    Thanks in advance!

Re: NetReg: NetReg 1.5.1p11 release

[Daniel A. R. <dan...@dr...>]

Unfortunately, we haven't used the guest functionality in several years 
so it really isn't maintained anymore. Can you send me the complete 
errors from the log? Maybe it is something simple that i can fix easily. 
Just send it privately to avoid cluttering the list.

Hi Daniel,

I've updated to your latest release (p11) and am having trouble getting
the guest registration to work.  When I click on the link and input my
email address and click accept, I just get a Internal server error on
the web browser.  The http log just shows that it had a Premature end of
script headers: guest.cgi, referer: http://netreg.vinu.edu/guest.html. 
Any clue where to start troubleshooting?  what all resources does that
guest.cgi look for or write to?  I'm no coder so don't really know where
to start.  Thanks, Ted

NetReg: NetReg 1.5.1p11 release

[Daniel A. R. <dan...@dr...>]

I've recently packaged an updated NetReg. It is my 11th such release, 
and is available for download at:
    http://www.ramaley.net/software/netreg/

As usual there are numerous small feature additions and bug fixes (the 
complete list is in the CHANGES file), but the most important 
enhancements are that end-users can self-register devices that lack web 
browsers (such as game consoles and Blu-ray players), and that end-users 
can remove their own registrations when they hit the limit. These 
features were designed to cut down on help desk calls.

Re: NetReg: cron job isn't working

[David M. <dme...@de...>]

Check the syntax of the first line of
/usr/local/etc/netreg/dhcpd/netreg.registered
.  Looks like it's missing at least a semi-colon and a closing curly
bracket.

Re: NetReg: cron job isn't working

[David R. <ren...@nk...>]

Matthew

Do not know if this helps but we are not running this version but the older 1.5 version.  We do have problems with "." In the user name.   We made the changes to netreg to accept but dhcp would not restart so we backed out the option.

If you always used "." In the user name then ignore this.

Subject: NetReg: cron job isn't working

Hi everyone,
I'm getting the below output (under my signature) when trying to run the cron job that writes the new user information from the netreg.registered.new file to netreg.registered file.
I'm running Dan Ramaley's p10 version of netreg1.5.1 on 64 bit centos 6. I used 'yum install' to install all the modules. I also ran a yum update after.
A modification I had to do is put the Net/Netreg folder in:
/usr/lib64/perl5/
not
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/Netreg
This folder move fixed errors I was getting earlier in the setup, but I'm not sure if it messed up more than it fixed.

I also had to adjust configurations so they pointed to the netreg.registered instead of hosts.new file that didn't exist. I figured this out because when my test user would login it would error out saying the hosts file didn't exist.

I'm stuck at this point and I'm not sure where the logs are pointing me anymore.
Any ideas on how to fix the cron job so it writes the netreg.registered file correctly?

Feel free to contact me via phone as well, I'll document the solution on the forum after. Thanks in advance!
