I guess I was lagging behind I wasn't even aware of the gen-rc-conf script.. I had started with astlinux using images way back to .28 where all there was.. was edit the rc.conf file and go.. the new style slimmed down rc.conf threw me totally off when I opened it only to find it said **do not edit**... I wanted to get the system up so I tried to edit the INTIF IP address only to find it still only brought up one ethernet interface... so I reworked the network cables, got in and overwrote the complete KD.. asterisk configs and all... that brought me back up and running again but of course using an rc.conf file that is from version 1670.. seems it would be nice if there was a script that could take your old rc.conf file and integrate to a new one.. that way the user would always have a fully commented up-to-date rc.conf file... just a thought..
Of course my main reason for updating in the firstplace was to add arnos firewall(astfw just plain would not translate ports.... example: port 8800 on the outside to port 80 on the inside - broken, port 8800 on outside to port 8800 on inside works everytime.. this is to a machine other than the astlinux machine) but im guessing since this is still a work in progress there is no real real upgrade procedure in stone...which is fine I don mind hackin a little when needbe... -Christopher -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lonnie Abelbeck Sent: Saturday, August 16, 2008 8:41 AM To: AstLinux Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Trunk image will not mount - need a little help On Aug 16, 2008, at 1:28 AM, Darrick Hartman (lists) wrote: > Lonnie Abelbeck wrote: >> Dev's, possibly genunion should no longer automatically create /mnt/ >> kd/ >> rc.conf ? or copy /stat/etc/rc.conf to /mnt/kd/rc.conf instead of the >> new stripped down /tmp/etc/rc.conf ? > > Yeah, perhaps we should roll back to copying /stat/etc/rc.conf instead > of /tmp/etc/rc.conf.

Yes, genkd and genunion using /tmp/etc/rc.conf for creating /mnt/kd/ rc.conf pre-dates the new gen-rc-conf script. I see two equally good solutions... 1) genkd and genunion copy /stat/etc/rc.conf to /mnt/kd/rc.conf to create a fresh, commented, default, config. 2) genkd and genunion do not create either /mnt/kd/rc.conf or /mnt/kd/ rc.conf.d/, the default settings at boot will match #1 above. After boot, the user either manually creates a /mnt/kd/rc.conf file or uses the Network tab in the gui to create the /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/ files. > The correct file to edit is /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/*.conf or /mnt/kd/ > rc.conf. > Afterwhich you can either reboot or issue 'gen-rc-conf' which would > re-generate the file in /tmp/etc/rc.conf (/etc/rc.conf is a sym link > to > /tmp/etc/rc.conf) Amen, Darrick, your statement above is the new gospel of AstLinux 0.6 (and trunk today).
