Hello to all! My Aim:
The installed Lenny Client should run the portmapper only bound on the localhost interface, resulting in a /etc/default/portmap with this uncommented line: OPTIONS="-i 127.0.0.1" I added to the /srv/fai/config/debconf/FAIBASE # portmap bound to 127.0.0.1 portmap portmap/loopback boolean true During the installation I opened a second terminal on the client and checked the /target/var/cache/debconf/config.dat: --------------------------------- Name: portmap/loopback Template: portmap/loopback Value: true Owners: portmap Flags: seen --------------------------------- When I see "Setting up portmap" in the first terminal the value switches: --------------------------------- Value: false --------------------------------- So after the client reboot the options in /etc/default/portmap are disabled: #OPTIONS="-i 127.0.0.1" Checking the FAI logs, the FAI settings seems to be correct: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- /var/log/fai/demohost/last/debconf.data seems to be ok: # portmap auf 127.0.0.1 portmap portmap/loopback boolean true /var/log/fai/demohost/last/debconf.log seems to be ok: info: Trying to set 'portmap/loopback' [boolean] to 'true' info: Loading answer for 'portmap/loopback' -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Changing the /srv/fai/config/debconf/FAIBASE to: portmap portmap/loopback boolean false doesn't have a reversed result. The setting stays at "false" As far as I can see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=317358 describes this behaviour. But I didn't see at the moment, where the debconf setting is returnd to "false" (see /var/lib/dpkg/info/portmap.postinst). Or is this a result of the following task install_packages statement?: "executing chroot /target aptitude -R -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold"" Best Regards Jens
