--- Begin Message ---Package: dhis-client Version: 5.1-3 Severity: normal The router I use to access the network uses the ports above 50000 for internal redirections, so the default incoming UDP port 58800 cannot be translated by NAT (nor PAT) and hence is not available to dhis client. The docs say that it is possible to change the incoming port by putting the option "-p XXXXX" in the command line but not in the configuration file /etc/dhid.conf. At least, I have not been able to find the syntax for that option with the conf file in the docs. Furthermore, I have checked the sources and in the file conf.c there is a reference to extern variable "rport" but it is NOT changed there (it is only changed from command line in main.c). So, to change the port you must edit the /etc/init.d/dhis-client script and add the following to the end of start-stop-daemon line: -- -p $PORT where PORT=58800 is the default to put at the begining of the script and in my case to put PORT=49800 (to be below 50000 for the router and above 49152 for dynamic-private ports so it is possible to use PAT to translate to my pc from the router). This change to /etc/init.d/dhis-client could be provisional until upstream authors implement some "Incoming Port" option into the configuration file, that would be the best solution (not touch /etc/init.d...) for the Debian package (maybe a wish-bug to upstream about this?). And also, some warning about this in the README.Debian would be useful. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux mordor 2.4.14 #3 jue jun 6 17:06:04 CEST 2002 i686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Versions of packages dhis-client depends on: ii debconf 1.0.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.2.5-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgmp3 4.0.1-3 Multiprecision arithmetic library

--- Begin Message ---Package: dhis-client Version: 5.5-1 I was checking my old submitted bugs already pending and found this one. Now I am not using dhis, as my new router implements automatic DDNS services, but I have looked into sources of dhis to see if the problem was corrected already. As far as I can understand from file WHATSNEW in upstream sources, probably from version 5.4 and up dhis now uses a new NAT friendly behaviour for the return port (replying to the same port sending the request), so the usefulness of the suggested (to upstream) feature to configure rport in config file is less important. As current version in testing (lenny) is 5.5-2, I think this almost 6 years old bug can be closed now. -- ,....,....,....,........,.............,..........................,...., : Jose Ramon Alvarez Sanchez : Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] :Ooo.: : Dpto. de Inteligencia Artificial : Tel: (+34) 91-398-7199 :( ): : Univ.
