Re: webalizer
Hello, After looking this problem over some more, it seems it just ignores changes, I removed the webalizer.current file, re-ran webalizer and it got todays stats, but when I put back my original webalizer.current file an re-ran webalizer again it doesn't change anything, instead it ignores 129 records. I removed the html file thinking it may have just not generated the new page, but it doesn't generate any new page either. The main question here is there any way to force webalizer to read the records, why are they being ignored?

The versions before 2001-06-20 all sucked in various ways. It was only in the 2001-06-20 version that I really got the source under control. Do you know of a potato deb for the latest version, or if you have suggestions on how to get it to compile on potato, please let me know. I ran into problems with an unsupported debhelper version. Upgrading debhelper would require upgrading perl, by the time I have done that it wont look like a potato system any more. Hopefully I'll have one for you tomorrow. I'll try and back-port the main ppp package at the same time. Then you'll get the latest pppd along with the Portslave that uses the regular pppd (saves memory). I am also not too sure if I agree with your comments on portslave doing everything than mgetty can do. I had a big battle to get portslave to work with my old modem to modem uucp clients. Tell me exactly what you were trying to do and how it failed, if the current version can't handle it easily then I'll add some new features.

Re: portslave
Hello Russell I am busy testing a portslave server to replace my old ancient Cyclades-Y based terminal server. The old one ran mgetty and a pppd patched for radius authentication via the radius client library. The patches have not been updated since pppd version 2.2 and the old machine still has a 2.0 series kernel. I am using portslave 2000-12-24 which I built on potato from a deb source archive a while back and kernel 2.2.19. It seems to work and we will go live in a few days. Do you know of a potato deb for the latest version, or if you have suggestions on how to get it to compile on potato, please let me know. I ran into problems with an unsupported debhelper version. Upgrading debhelper would require upgrading perl, by the time I have done that it wont look like a potato system any more. I am also not too sure if I agree with your comments on portslave doing everything than mgetty can do. I had a big battle to get portslave to work with my old modem to modem uucp clients.

That will only work for terminal authentication (the default for Windows is AutoPPP). Also are you sure that your -I parameter is correct? The documentation for the version of getty that I use doesn't indicate support for chat scripts. Why not use Portslave? It answers the phone and supports full chatscript functionality for modem configuration etc. Portslave presents a login: prompt and authenticates with a RADIUS server. It also recognises AutoPPP sequences and runs pppd with a special module so that the pppd will talk to the RADIUS server for authentication. When the connection is finished the details of bytes and packets transferred will be logged to the RADIUS server. Also Portslave supports a variety of options for running ssh, telnet, or rlogin connections based on what the RADIUS server specifies. Anything that can be done by getty, mgetty, radius-client, etc can be done better by Portslave. Another thing, currently there are two active Portslave developers, me and a Cyclades employee (the Cyclades TS4000 type boxes run a derivative of my 2000-12-25 release). Run the latest Portslave from unstable and you get most of the features of the high-end Cyclades terminal server boxes, plus some features that haven't yet been copied into the Cyclades tree. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: webalizer
Hello, After looking this problem over some more, it seems it just ignores changes, I removed the webalizer.current file, re-ran webalizer and it got todays stats, but when I put back my original webalizer.current file an re-ran webalizer again it doesn't change anything, instead it ignores 129 records. I removed the html file thinking it may have just not generated the new page, but it doesn't generate any new page either.

I've never really looked at it, as I've always thought, oh no, that's for like, *lots* of modems. :) Well the latest version of Portslave (the one that is too experimental for upload to Debian) has got some new code for direct authentication without RADIUS (which hasn't been properly tested yet)... I recommend FreeRadius, although last time I checked the Debian package was still in limbo. :( I might pick it up if I get to like it. Well the current maintainer isn't really looking for someone to take over the job, he just wants what he's done to be accepted and there was some hold-up last time I communicated with him. :( -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
