Product: lisa
Component: program
Summary: startscript of lisa not zeroconf capable
Version: 3.1-22mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi everybody.
The lisa startscript contains quoting problems yielding invalid config files.
Besides, the startscript initializes lisa to use the network configuration from
the first boot.
If a system is moved from one network to another, with dynamic configuration
as with dhcp or zeroconf, the network configuration may change each time.
There is no way to tell lisa to use a default configuration, such as the
broadcast domain of the active interfaces, so the config file should be
rewritten with each boot (this is actually a design flaw in lisa, I intent to
contact the author about that)
Besides, unnamed hosts should probably be displayed as well, if you want
lisa to work out of the box in zeroconf environments, since sometimes
reverse lookup does not work.
Find a modified version of the lisa start script attached.
It reconfigures lisa each time to match the current network configuration.
Besides, it displays unnamed hosts. It uses ping for small domains, and
nmblookup for larger broadcast domains, if installed, otherwise falls back
to ping as well.
Regards,
Joachim
