Re: [linux] Tucows is retired
From tucows page: Tucows launches in Flint, Michigan The origins of what is now Tucows began in Flint, Michigan in 1993. While working for local libraries, Scott Swedorski noticed the public’s increasing interest in the World Wide Web and used his personal website to offer downloadable software. He dubbed this service TUCOWS, an acronym for The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software, which quickly gained recognition as the first site to offer software on a freeware or shareware basis. - Charles MacDonald wrote: > On 2021-01-27 12:41 p.m., John Argus wrote: > > Something I just saw that will be of interest to us old timers. > > https://tucows.com/retired/ > > > > I know I visited the site early in my computer days.

I am reminded of an author who apologized for writing a along letter because he didn't have time to write a short one. It can be quite difficult to condense a complex topic down to a concise summary.

Thanks for pointing that out, I somehow missed that (at 2am). I done a pile of tests back and forth including trying to run all on ppp0 and so on. I think I grabbed the log from the last try which would have ipv6 on ppp1 and then dhcpv6 on ppp0 would fail but with the config I have it shouldn't even try ipv6 on ppp0 then. I will test more and keep better track on the logs but since I have to kill my internet to test it will have to wait until later tonight. /ps > > So it's trying to start DHCPv6 on the wrong link? > > - Anonymous Coward > > - Original Message - > From: "Peter Sjöberg" > To: linux@linux-ottawa.org > Sent: Monday, February 1, 2021 12:41:04 PM > Subject: [linux] ipv6 problem with centos8+teksavvy+pppoe with DHCPv6-PD > > I have a centos6 firewall and there I have two pppoe connections, one > for ipv4 and one for ipv6. > This works fine but since centos6 is EOL I need to migrate to something > newer and I'm going with centos8 (or stream or something like that) and > I have problem to get the ipv6 part working. > > After lots of fiddling I did get the two ppp connections to work at the > same time on the same nic but the dhcp6c part isn't working.

[linux] ipv6 problem with centos8+teksavvy+pppoe with DHCPv6-PD
I have a centos6 firewall and there I have two pppoe connections, one for ipv4 and one for ipv6. This works fine but since centos6 is EOL I need to migrate to something newer and I'm going with centos8 (or stream or something like that) and I have problem to get the ipv6 part working. After lots of fiddling I did get the two ppp connections to work at the same time on the same nic but the dhcp6c part isn't working. From what I can see in the log it refuse to start due to no MAC I have a script to create the connections: Creating ppp0_ipv4 nmcli connection add type pppoe autoconnect no con-name ppp0_ipv4 username ip4u...@teksavvy.com password "myIPV4psw" ifname ppp0 pppoe.parent eth2 nmcli connection modify ppp0_ipv4 ipv4.method auto ipv6.method disabled Creating ppp1_ipv6 nmcli connection add type pppoe autoconnect no con-name ppp1_ipv6 username ip6u...@hsiservice.net password "myIPV6psw" ifname ppp1 pppoe.parent eth2 nmcli connection modify ppp1_ipv6 ipv4.method disabled ipv6.method auto ipv6.addr-gen-mode eui64 802-3-ethernet.mac-address 52:54:66:18:ac:f6 extract from the log: NetworkManager[746]: [1612156399.1097] device[052faa76634ef4ae] (ppp0): Activation: Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) starting DHCPv6 as requested by IPv6 router...

Re: [linux] anyone using a privacy-protecting cell phone
linux-ottawa.org was set up some years ago as insurance against the oclug.on.ca domain being sold off or used in ways that did not fit the corporation objectives. oclug domain was "donated" by a former member. We asked if we could take it over and were a bit surprised to be told a definite no. After some discussion, we decided it was safer to switch to the domain name we owned.

Yeah, I didn't get a copy from the list of the message I sent. None of them. But otherwise seeing replies to this message. i didn't reply to user, I changed the reply to linux at linux-ott org ok Sometimes I regret long posts. It is nice to be clear at least whether it went through or not. thx Michael On Sun, Jan 31, 2021 at 9:09 PM Brenda J.
