Kristian, I am amazed at your ability to generate package definitions so quickly. Do you use a tool for this or do you borrow from some other distribution for your package definitions?
For instance, I would love to create the package definitions for the nfsd and mountd issue, but it would take me a couple hours to get it all together. You seem to be able to generate these on the fly. I am sure it a good deal experience, but is there something else? -----Original Message----- From: Kristian Kielhofner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 12:48 PM To: Discussion of AstLinux - Asterisk on Compact Flash; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Astlinux-users] AstLinux supports rendezvous/bonjour! Hello everyone, In response to a recent thread discussing some of the difficulties in "finding" a recently installed AstLinux machine on a network, I started researching the best way to advertise the services that are typically offered with an AstLinux system. This lead me, naturally, to rendezvous/bonjour. This is a fantastic protocol that allows you to advertise all types of protocols and various service parameters. As of now in astlinux-trunk, AstLinux will advertise the following services: - SIP - IAX - HTTP - HTTPS - SSH - NTP with a default advertise name of "AstLinux PBX". As usual, you can disable this behavior (or change the advertised name), with a simple change to rc.conf (the variable name is ADNAME). AstLinux 0.5 (when released) will advertise all of these services "out of the box" to help users get started. I do recommend that once you have located the machine and configured it you disable the advertise service as it does consume resources and open your system to possible security threats. This is really pretty cool... I just flashed a Soekris, booted it up, and my laptop (running Ubuntu) notified me of the new services available on my network. I clicked on AstLinux PBX SIP, and the Ekiga softphone that was installed by default made a SIP call to the system and within seconds, I was hearing the default Asterisk demo. A new drop down box was available on my GNOME toolbar. One of the options was to login via SSH into the AstLinux PBX. I clicked on this, and I was prompted for a password. I entered the default password and I was sitting at the command prompt for the AstLinux system. Same thing goes for the web interface using HTTPS. Awesome! As always, any comments, testing, (even flames) are appreciated. Let me know what you think! -- Kristian Kielhofner _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kriscompanies.com/mailman/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Astlinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.kriscompanies.com/mailman/listinfo/astlinux-users Donations to support AstLinux are graciously accepted via PayPal to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
