Discover the addresses of computers on a home network that have connected by way of DHCP. For example: Several wireless connections. « ip a s » to get your IP with your mask and then « nmap ip.in.v4.format/mask » I've used static IPS for around 10 yrs, always seemed handier for things like ssh between home lan computers. But recently started using DHCP for wireless connections. It must be such a popular method for some reason. But when you do it that way, and say want to VNC or ssh or the like to something connected by a dhcp serving WAP then how do you find the address? avahi and zeroconf could be an help. With avahi-daemon running every where and avahi-dnsconfd I just type « ssh -l login myhostname.local » or « ssh -l login myhostname.lan » depending on your configuration. That is, besides something like accessing the WAP and checking the IPs connected to it. Is there some quick and sure way to discover any IPs on the home lan? Some kind of mapper tool? You've got lanmap to, though it doesn't seem maintained IMHO and it depends on nmap. dhcp can assign static adresses ! Thus, it's easier to manage (only the dhcp server to admin !) I am not english, thus, don't know website with such doc (in english) but you can easily find it on internet ! Configuration sample are even given in isc-dhcp-server default conf file, richly commented out. You have also dnsmasq that makes both dns (for lan) + dhcp (whereas commonly, this functions are split) -- Vincent-Xavier JUMEL GPG Id: 0x2E14CE70 http://thetys-retz.net Rejoignez les 5398 adhérents de l'April http://www.april.org/adherer Parinux, logiciel libre à Paris : http://www.parinux.org
Re: [gentoo-user] Automation: Ripping DVDs to disk
From what I understand, you want to automate a ripping process. Ripping is the easy part since you don't want to bother with encoding. In my opinion, you should had a udev line that fire up a mencoder/transcode/vlc/vobcopy/your favourite encoder/copier session, clean the swap and then eject the CD. The udev manpage is quite clear on the subject, examples are all around the net. Cheers. -- Vincent-Xavier JUMEL GPG Id: 0x2E14CE70 http://thetys-retz.net Rejoignez les 5336 adhérents de l'April http://www.april.org/adherer Parinux, logiciel libre à Paris : http://www.parinux.org
Re: [gentoo-user] depclean wants to remove hal, which kills xdm
Le 20 décembre à 15:12 Allan Gottlieb a écrit Something seems wrong. Yesterday depclean removed hal and then xdm wouldn't run. Re-merging hal (with -1) fixed this, but again today depclean wants to remove it. Have you look on how X.org packages are built on your computer. You should build it with udev support. I can easily add hal to world, but should xdm depend on it? allan -- Vincent-Xavier JUMEL GPG Id: 0x2E14CE70 http://thetys-retz.net Rejoignez les 5312 adhérents de l'April http://www.april.org/adherer Parinux, logiciel libre à Paris : http://www.parinux.org
Re: [gentoo-user] vlc-1.1.4 won't shoutcast?
Le 03 octobre à 14:05 Mick a écrit It doesn't show up in the menu anymore. The previous version was working fine. Am I missing some crafty USE flag? If you're using vlc 1.1.0 or above, you should have read http://www.videolan.org/press/2010-1.html which informs about the situation and why the VLC team had had to removed it.

Re: [gentoo-user] nss_updatedb pam_ccreds
Le 29 juillet à 18:50 Giampiero Gabbiani a écrit Hi all, I configured nss pam in order to make LDAP authentication. In order to have a proper authentication and attributes retrieving I added also ccreds and nss_updatedb modifying /etc/pam.d/system-auth for the first and Did you tried to start nscd daemon to cache entries for the nsswitch subsystem ? I've been working around this for a while, and one of the best solution is to have a slave LDAP on every single host.
