another example

 perl -pi -e "s/^ServerName .*$/ServerName
$HOME_SERVER_NAME/g" /etc/cups/client.conf

how do I do this with systemd?

I'll try now the _netdev option and see if it works for me without systemd

thanks in advance

I do a similar task with a script located in /etc/network/if-up.d/ 
This is executed when systemd sets up network with NetworkManager.

systemd and variable network (help needed)

2016-01-06 Thread deloptes
Hi,

I'm willing to start using systemd, but there is one major issue that
prevent me to do so.

I have following use cases regarding network setup.

1) home office 
- my home is on a nfs share 
- the nfs share mounted via fstab before user gets to login prompt
- eth0 no firewall required
- wireless off except bluetooth
2) company office 
- user has a stand allone profile 
- eth0 firewall active (not too strict rules)
- wireless and bluetooth off
3) on the road
- user has a stand allone profile (same as 2)
- wireless on, bluetooth off
- wlan0 firewall active (strict rules)

I do this with two custom init script
- network script (checks the interface and network/domain) 
and updates fstab, resolv.conf + mounts nfs if 1)
- firewall script - iptables classic + custom checks

How can I solve this with systemd? Can I tell systemd to execute a/the
script after something else was done and where do I set this?

Debian Jessie in use here

Highly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Why not try systemd before anticipating any issues? 'init=/bin/systemd'
on the kernel command line for trial runs.

Did journalctl have anything to say on this?



Basic(?) network help, please...

2011-01-29 Thread Mark Neidorff
Since I don't do this often, what may be very easy is confusing me.

I have switched from DSL (static IP) to cable internet (5 static IPs).  I have 
a sort of network diagram (in a format that I hope can be easily 
viewed) available at neidorff.com . Below the line there is a link that says 
Network Diagram.   Some things are not quite right.

Under the DSL setup (old) the router provided me with a translated set of 
addresses, so that I could use the 192.168.2.* range to connections to the 
router.
With cable, I have 5 static IPs, but the cable modem only provides ports for 
the static IPs.  I changed the configuration of the NIC that connects from 
the server to the cable modem to match a static IP.

I can't get PCs on the local LAN (192.168.1.x) to connect to the net using the 
cable provider's nameservers.  If I use the nameservers of my old provider 
(which are still active for me, for now) they can connect to the net.  Why is 
this?  How do I correct it?
Here is the routing table
$route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
108.58.151.192  0.0.0.0         255.255.255.248 U     0      0        0 eth0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth1
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 eth1
0.0.0.0         108.58.151.193  0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

Thanks for any help,
Mark

There are some things in the air that may require further investigation.

First, as per your description (five static IP), I guess you have been 
given a very nice cable modem gateway device but most surely it is 
somehow limited/restricted/customized by your provider, so you should 
contact them and ask for a basic configuration setup start-up guide. I 
say this because some providers give their users a login username/
password and let them to manage their devices from their internal 
subnetwork.

Second, you should ask yourself about the network setup do you have in 
mind... that is, cable modems (unless otherwise specified) are just 
gateways with no routing capabilities and act in the same way like the 
old dial-up serial modems: they connect your machine (the one to which is 
attached) directly to the web (which is good if you have a web server 
behind the cable modem that you want to be reachable from outside) but 
maybe you don't want all your machines are also acting in that way, like 
public servers.

So, dependending on what you have in mind, you may also need to have a 
router with nat capabilities that:

1/ Hide your internal network machines (so you can use 192.168.0.x 
addresses) and keep them out of the Internet.

2/ Provide addictional DHCP/DNS functionalities, in the event the cable-
modem do not.

And last, you can use whatever DNS servers you prefer (like the ones from 
OpenDNS or Google's) but usually the ones that your isp provides are 
better (lower latency and fast response).

network help

2008-07-07 Thread Jerry Geis

I am using debian etch.
my network is not working.
When I do lsmod it shows 8139too,8139cp
(I only have 1 network connection).
When I rmmod 8139too and rmmod 8139cp then modprobe 8139too It is detected.
I then /etc/init.d/networking restart and I still have no network.

When I init 1, basically do the rmmod above and modprobe 8139too then 
init 3

my network is fine.

Where can I look as to why my network is not coming up correctly.

I tried to blacklist 8139cp but that made no difference.

I am booting debian from a USB thumbdrive.

Thanks,

Open another terminal window (or flip to another vterm), and run:
tail -f /var/log/syslog

Then in the original window, restart networking.  The syslog
results may prove useful.  Also look at dmesg | tail.

If Knoppix doesn't find your network card, that's fairly bad news.

Do you have two NICs in this box? A 1394 and an Intel? I'm not at all 
familiar with a 1394, and don't even know for sure that's a NIC. The 
Intel however should just work with Knoppix, and should work fairly 
easily with Debian.

You don't say how you're installing Debian (CD, floppy, etc), but I 
suspect it's via either a full-blown Debian installer CD or a netinstall 
CD. In either case, you may need the installer with a 2.4 kernel instead 
of a 2.2 kernel. (During the install, shell out to a virtual terminal - 
Alt-F2, and run uname -a to see what version kernel you have.)

If you do have two NICs, it may be that Knoppix and/or the Debian 
installer is getting confused about which NIC to use. For now, to make 
things simpler, I'd remove the 1394 NIC and just do the install with the 
Intel NIC, which should use the eepro100 module I believe. After you 
have your network working with that NIC, you can put the 1394 back in 
and work on getting it configured if necessary.

Hi
Well, the first one is a virtual nw adapter created by windows for
network over firewire, witch is as far as i know not supported by
standard debian kernel.
For the Intel one: I also have a Intel(R) PRO/100 VE in my notebook and
had to use the preliminary bootfloppies from here:
http://people.debian.org/~blade/bf3024
,because I wasnt able to get it running with the bf2.4 2.4.18ner kernel.
I havent tried knoppix on it though. For now it seems that the url from
above is dead at the moment I think (since the debian server
compromise). But since I didn't have any problem with any more recent
kernel (2.4.22 and above, though up to 2.4.23 with -ac patches) knoppic
should work I think. Mayby this helps

yours

I know this is a Debian news group, but the networking stuff
should be Linux platform independant. Right?

We just had a new Intel Itanium IA64 file server installed at the
office.  I installed TurboLinux ( O/S came with system ).  The system
is on a closed/secure LAN.  When I log into the system, I can ping
other system on the LAN.  When I'm on another system I can ping the
new IA64 system.  All seems to be OK.

What I can't do is rlogin/telnet/ftp/ssh into the new IA64 system from
other machines on our LAN.  I removed the # comments from the
ftp/telnet/shell/etc. lines in the /etc/inetd.conf file and restarted
the IA64 system (yeah I know, but old habits are hard to break.
Besides, no one is on the system yet except root.)

What am I missing?  What else do I have to do to activate
rlogin/telnet/ftp/ssh services?  What can I look for when I get back
to the office on Monday?

Try ipchains -L and look for deny rules, just having all policies set
to accept should be ok for a local lan.

Also have a look at the log messages, maybe the ftpd daemon isn't
found by inetd or can't be executed for some reason, does it work for
localhost?

 What am I missing?  What else do I have to do to activate
 rlogin/telnet/ftp/ssh services?  What can I look for when I get back
 to the office on Monday?

Hi Chris, Did you try installing the right daemons? :)



Net network help, please

2000-04-02 Thread Chris Mason
I'm having a little trouble I could do with some help with, if possible. I have 
Corel Linux installed. I have a windwosNT network with a NT DHCP / WINS server.
It worked fine, the linux box intergrated pretty well, although the DHCP server 
showed the IP but not the name of the machine.
I need to change the IP block in preparation for firewalling an internet feed I 
am getting. I changed to 192.168.1.x for all the machines, the DHCP/WINS 
machine is 192.168.1.10
Although the Linux box has been given an IP, I can't ping it from another 
machine and it can't ping anybody. It seems to be able to get an IP from the 
DHCP server, the name shows up in the name table so it must be getting to the 
WINS server, but it is not on the network, and I can't ping it.
Any ideas? I don't know the Linux commands to test it, I tried ifconfig and the 
card has the correct IP and subnetmask. 
What should the gateway be in this case?

Well, the gateway might not allow ping packets. You can try to
'traceroute -n' it and see if that works. 

Also you have not said anything about what is in you /etc/resolve.conf
file. 

If the card works in WinBlows, then I see no reason why it would not
work in Debian. Are you sure that the kernel is detecting the IO Port
and IRQ correctly for the network card?

  I assume that your trying to network a linux box to a Win95 box.  If
that is so I found that if I put in a gateway on my Linux box my
network didn't work at all. 
 I changed the network script to
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 ${IPADDR} broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask${NETMASK}
/sbin/route add -net ${NETWORK} netmask ${NETMASK} # for 2/2/x Kernels

then route -n

 If it does not, you should take a look at /etc/resolve.conf and make

 If you cannot ping an IP address, the network card might not be workign
