Hi,
I made synce work ( Fedora core 4 + HP ipaq rx3115 ), following the
howto. But it was not as straightforward as it should be. Main issue :
Fedora4 default iptables rules.
Feel free to put this "handbook" somewhere, but I don't want my mail to
be revealed to spammers.
Detail follows:
cheers.
Boris

B) Modifiying iptables
=========================================
I have some experiment using synce, since I installed it on my former
Linux RH8 2.4.18, one year ago. The firewall rules I was using for one
year on RH8 did not work here on FC4. This seem to be due to the line
in /etc/sysconfig/iptables:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
To make things work, I added the firewall rule for the ipaq *ABOVE* this
line.
/etc/sysconfig/iptables now reads:
....
##ipaq linux
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i ppp0 -p tcp -m tcp -s
192.168.131.201/255.255.225.255 --dport 5678 --syn -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i ppp0 -p tcp -m tcp -s
192.168.131.201/255.255.225.255 --dport 5679 --syn -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i ppp0 -p udp -m udp -s
192.168.131.201/255.255.225.255 --dport 5678 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i ppp0 -p udp -m udp -s
192.168.131.201/255.255.225.255 --dport 5679 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
.....
and restarted iptables:
service iptables restart
C) automatic connection
========================
I added the following line to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap (0x03f0 0x1016
= Vendor Prod_Id)
--------------------------------
synce 0x0003 0x03f0 0x1016 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
--------------------------------
Then I copied my RH8 /etc/hotplug/usb/synce script. This script did not
work either. Reason : it seems I have to wait a while (~10s) till
/dev/ttyUSB0 is created.
Here is my new script which works perfectly:
--------- /etc/hotplug/usb/synce -----------------------
#!/bin/bash
export time=`date +"%b %d %X"`
export uname=`uname -n`
echo "$time $uname $0 [$$]: iPAQ added" >> /var/log/synce
synce-serial-abort >> /dev/null
(
sleep 1
echo -n "waiting for ttyUSB0 creation " >> /var/log/synce
for x in `seq 1 20`; do
if ! [ -c /dev/ttyUSB0 ] ; then
echo -n . >> /var/log/synce
sleep 1
else break
fi
done
if ! [ -c /dev/ttyUSB0 ]; then
echo "$time $uname $0 [$$]: device node /dev/tts/USB0 not created!" >>
/var/log/synce
exit 1
fi
synce-serial-start >> /var/log/synce
)&
:> $REMOVER
echo "export time=\`date +\"%b %d %X\"\`" >> $REMOVER
echo "export uname=\`uname -n\`" >> $REMOVER
echo "echo \"\$time \$uname $0: iPAQ removed\" >> /var/log/synce" >>
$REMOVER
echo "sleep 5 >> /var/log/synce" >> $REMOVER
echo "synce-serial-abort >> /var/log/synce" >> $REMOVER
chmod +x $REMOVER

cheers
