Re: Unexpected irq trap when booting

Sorry I meant "noirq" is one kernel paramater and the other is "debug" :-)

It's all in those binary files. Mailman offers you some cli tools to work
with them in the mailman/bin directory.

Nope. :-( A few of these things have changed which vector the irq trap
occurs in, but none have eliminated the error. Even with all the
options combined, it still hangs on an unexpected irq trap.

backports

[Francesco Pietra]

I need to install "checkinstall" for Linux Debian etch, from backports,
primarily on amd64 etch. To check viability, and modifying a recipe found for
"sarge", I unsuccessfully tried with i386 by:

(1) Adding this line to my /etc/apt/sources.list file

deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ etch-backports main contrib non-free

 (i.e., "etch" in place of "sarge")

(2) Adding the following lines to my /etc/apt/apt-file.conf

which should deactivate all packages from backports.org

Package: *
Pin: release a=etch-backports
Pin-Priority: 200

i.e."apt-file.conf" in place of "preferences" and "etch" in place of "sarge").


I planned to continue with:

(3) #apt-get -t etch-backports install checkinstall

(i.e., "etch" in place of "sarge"),

though, a check showed failure of (1) and (2) above:


apt-get update

ended with:

Oddly enough, even with realplayer installed, I tell it I want realplayer

being iceweasel).

But if I tell it Windows media, up pops mozilla-mplayer plugin and all is
well.

It seems that abcnews videos play now. They wouldn't before - but I'm just
checking this
new beta i-caught service on ABC news and those videos seem to play.

On the realplay issue specifically, I got some error messages from the
player when I tried the
OP's bbc web content with the "realplay" option, stuff about ignoring an
unknown attribute and
seeing data after a newline so it is probably confused about something.
That's not very helpful,

Re: Purge leaves some files

[Daniel Burrows]

  There are two possibilities:

  (1) you still have a package installed that owns those files.  This
  is likely the case for the stuff under /usr/share/doc.

  You can find out which packages have installed a file with
  dpkg -S (filename).

  (2) the package is buggy and doesn't clean up after itself.  This is
  likely the caes for stuff under /etc.

  In this case, slap the maintainer with a bug report.

Hello,

I am running etch in an amd64 system with an ATI Radeon Mobility 9200
(AGP) video card. The ATI driver from x.org doesn't work with this card,
after a small GUI activity, the screen freezes. I've reported this
problem in the past. The only workaround I've found was to install the
fglrx-driver package, run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and select the
fglrx driver instead the ati one. No more video freezes. But now totem
doesn't start, I get the message: The Application "totem" has quit
unexpectedly. This problem has to do exclusively with the fglrx driver.
I experimented with the ati and fglrx drivers in another i386 machine,
and totem didn't start with the fglrx driver. It works fine with the ati
driver from x.org.



After a *lot* of googling, I discovered that the problem with the xorg
driver is the glx module. Disabling it I can use the xorg ati driver
without problems. And I can run totem and grace too! (they didn't work
with the driver from ATI) fortunately the machine is only for work, so I
can do perfectly well without the glx module... I guess
  


Mmm, I use glx on 3 different radeons, what page suggested that was the 
problem?
When the screen freezes is it just the screen?  Can you ssh in and have 
a look at x log?

This sounded promising, and the machines are on the same home lan, but
I could not ping6 them or ssh -6 into them using those addresses.
Maybe there's something else I need to configure first?

In the meantime, I just did static ip addresses for the three Debian
machines for the time being.

Thanks so much for the suggestions.

I'll give it a shot and get back to the list.

Yes, I meant imps2, I was running from memory. Organic compression is 
lossy.

However, this is interesting:

# ps aux | grep gpm
root  2704  0.0  0.0   1720   276 ?Ss   Jun20   
0:00 /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/input/mice -t exps2
# gpm -t help | grep exps2
exps2 (ExplorerPS/2) - IntelliMouse Explorer (ps2) - 3 buttons (wheel 
is repeated).

So gpm is being started with an option that lists an explicit wheel. 
However, changing this to ps2 and other things with "dpkg-reconfigure 
gpm" made no difference in X, however, it did make the mouse stop 
working on the console. So obviously it's something specifically to 
do with the X configuration.

The console shows no indication that the area of the touchpad that is 
acting as a scroll wheel under X is any different from the rest of 
the pad, another indication to me that it's something explicitly to 
do with X.

> Though the names are from gpm they should match names used by X11,
> since the two have to (and do in my experience) work together.

Yes, well, one of the things I tried was "synps2" with gpm for the 
Synaptics touch pad, and that didn't work in the console at all. X 
kept right on working through it all, with the wheel.

As I said, let me mess with the xorg.conf a few times, maybe in the 
morning, since right now I don't want to restart X a dozen times 
trying things out.

   I just found the problem. 
   This is the NEW dhclient.conf file. Notice the "request" line is
empty.


#request nothing: let the server send all the parameters it knows
request;


  This is the dhclient.conf as it WAS :

request subnet-mask, broadcast-address, time-offset, routers,
domain-name, domain-name-servers, host-name,
netbios-name-servers, netbios-scope, interface-mtu;

  Just REPLACE your dhclient.conf with the old(er) version, or copy
the request line from the above file and you'll be back in business.

that's the problem with sid... you don't always get those sweet triple

so, who knows what else might have gotten changed and what other etch
stuff you may have drug in. One of these things could be causing a
problem. maybe console-tools? just a guess.

Again, if you've partially moved up to etch, you may have to complete
it to get back into a working state.

So, I managed to revert back to the Sarge packages and install the
Sarge 2.6 kernel (2.6.8) without issues. However, I'm still getting
the same garbled checkerboard pattern after boot. I tried booting in
single user mode and still got the same video issues at the console.

Re: Lost internet connection after upgrade

[Waqar]

Same problem here. The ip address is getting assigned. I had
networkmanager, and it automatically used to update the resolv.conf
I found that it the automatically assigned was empty. I removed
networkmanager and related packages and manually set the /etc/
resolv.conf file.
The network still does not seem to work. I can ping the router, but
nothing beyond.

Yesterday evening while upgrading, there was some conflict about
libcurl3-openssl and libcurl4-openssl packages. I installed the higher
version. Could this be causing the problem.

Sounds like a bad case of filesystem corruption - you might find 
something in /lost+found.

What filesystem type is it? ext2/3 , reiser, xfs ?

Just that DHCP **seems** to be ok despite the fact the internet connection
doesn't work. That was an extract from the bootlog, not the result of lowering
then raising eth0

   I will but every attempt at pinging gives me "network unreachable". The
non-working connection is on the other partition so every mail reply is
followed by 2 reboots.

Please don't top-post.

For the current kernel instance:
# dmesg | less
will catch the last 8k (or so) messages...

Debian normally saves that in /var/log/dmesg. This only covers from boot 
to start of sysklogd - stuff after that goes go syslog and is governed 
by your syslog configuration - normally /var/log/syslog.

But if you're missing /etc, then all bets are off...

Probably not, if you're not getting a normal boot.  In other words, if 
there are problems with a disk drive preventing the file system where 
/etc is from mounting (that's almost always /), then wherever /var/log 
is may also be having problems.


Besides, without / and /etc/fstab, how would the system be able to 
figure out where to find /var/log?


You'll just need to copy down on paper what you see on the screen.  You 
can also try typing 'mount' and a carriage return to see what it says is 
mounted.


Of course, this all assumes the system is having major problems early on 
in the boot process.  You have not provided, as yet, enough information 
to figure out where the system stands in the normal sequence.  Anything 
printed on your monitor and still visible could help.

Not least of which would be no password file, hence no way to log
in.  Plus, no rc scripts to bring the system up, either.  So, I'd
suggest the system has booted into some sort of maintencance
mode.  Or, you're simply in maintenance mode for some other reason,
running from some sort of RAM disk?

More info is needed, as printed during the startup, particularly
just before the point where you get a shell prompt.

Don't know quite what you mean by the ^ above.  That is what I
see, I just took an interface down then up again, when it _does_ work.

The internet connection is up.  Try pinging your cable modem.

No, I haven't tried booting into single user mode yet. That's a good
idea.

As for the error, I was getting this error when trying to upgrade the
kernel:

>>kernel-image-2.6-386: Depends: linux-image-2.6-486 but it is not going to be 
>>installed
>>libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.5-9+b1) but 2.3.6.ds1-13 is to be installed

Then, I get this error when trying to upgrade libc6:

>>WARNING: POSIX threads library NPTL requires kernel version
>>2.6.1 or later. If you use a kernel 2.4, please upgrade it
>>before installing glibc.
>>dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.5-9+b1_i386.deb 
>>(--unpack):

Would it be a good idea to change my sources back to Sarge, apt-get
update and then try installing the 2.6 kernel package again?
Essentially, some packages I'd like to install seem to be giving me
libc6 errors, so the whole point of the kernel upgrade was to be able
to upgrade libc6.

Thanks,
Aaron

Re: Waking up server during boot prevents NFS mounts after upgrade to etch

[Bob Proulx]

Malte Forkel wrote:

I think that should be considered a bug.  Traditional behavior should
have the clients block waiting for the server to come online and then
continue normally after that.  If you agree then please file a bug.

This might help.  Are you aware of the NFS mount option 'bg'?

  bg
If the first NFS mount attempt times out, retry the mount in the
background.  After a mount operation is backgrounded, all
subsequent mounts on the same NFS server will be backgrounded
immediately, without first attempting the mount.  A missing mount
point is treated as a timeout, to allow for nested NFS mounts.

This is a traditional method of breaking circular dependencies.  But
it might help as a workaround to the behavior that you are reporting.

Lots of things changed.  I did not try to recreate your bad behavior
but it reads like a bug to me.

> With or without asynchronous mounting. So, may be I have some sort
> of a timing problem?

Using sync versus async is completely different and unrelated.  That
has to do with the protocol used after the clients have mounted.

In addition to this to be truly batch mode you may want to set

  # DEBCONF_ADMIN_EMAIL="" DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -q -y 
whatever

That will prevent email from being generated for those operations that

Agreed.  But this is up to the package maintainer.  You might want to

Both packages replace or conflict with each other.  This makes apt
happy when moving from one to the other.  I do not read that as a
statement that stunnel v3 is the progression beyond v4.

I always use stunnel4.

Not least of which would be no password file, hence no way to log
in.  Plus, no rc scripts to bring the system up, either.  So, I'd suggest
the system has booted into some sort of maintencance mode.  Or, you're
simply in maintenance mode for some other reason, running from some sort of
RAM disk?

More info is needed, as printed during the startup, particularly just
before the point where you get a shell prompt.

Perhaps not.

Things to look at:

- you haven't mounted something on /etc, have you? Although insanely
  stupid, pls don't be offended. When weird things happen, it's time to
  be insanely paranoid... (/proc/mounts should tell)

- You haven't chroot'ed yourself, have you? (I know. Paranoia...)

I am surprised that you don't mention any other problems - if /etc/ was

Do you have any services running (ssh, apache, etc) and/or any ports
open?  I would consider re-evaluation of firewall rules, etc, after the
re-install whether or not you've been attacked.

You could set up your dhcp server to talk to a dns server and do your
hostnames automatically, but it would require a lot of setup.

I think the easiest thing would be if you're machines are set up with
ipv6 and are on the same lan, just use the ipv6 local address. you can
get this by doing ifconfig and using the inet6 addr. It should start
with fe80. Yeah, ipv6 address are long and hard to remember, but you can
copy and paste and put it in your script. The address is based on the
MAC address of your card and so shouldn't change unless you change
hardware. Use ping6 to see if the machines can ping each other.

If you'd rather not set up dnsmasq or need something quicker ;) you may 
be able to set the router to assign the same IP to the system using the 
MAC address.  I have a DLink that allows this.  You then put the IP and 
host name in your /etc/hosts file.


From what I can see in the man page for dnsmasq, it would basically do 
the same thing as the above, it just puts the configuration onto your 
local server rather than the router (my guess;-)

Is it correct? Or I should worry?



45-55 C seems a little hot. They will probalby work for you but your  
drives will probably die sooner than later. Either they are too close  
together and/or you need more direct fans on your drives.
I think normal operating temps for drives is between 35 and 40 C.  
perhaps check with your drive manufacturer and check the recommended  
operating temps.

OK.  I changed the xmms output plugin from oss to alsa.  Now I don't

Yes, this is where I am confused.  I read that Debian with a 2.6
kernel loads alsa modules by default?  I was surprised that I
didn't have any alsa packages installed since I had sound before 
switching from the 2.6.8 kernel to the 2.6.18 kernel.  So, I was 
hesitant to install them, fearing I might make things worse.

Fortunately, after installing alsa-base (which required
linux-sound-base lsof) and alsa-utils, I have sound again.

I notice that the module list is almost the same.  Now snd_intel8x0
and snd_ac97_codec are not loaded.  Maybe that was part of the problem.
Also, /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer are now present, for whatever that is worth.

Thanks.

In my Etch system, start-stop-daemon comes from the dpkg package:

$ dpkg -S $(which start-stop-daemon)
dpkg: /sbin/start-stop-daemon

The answer is the "dpkg" before the colon.

from /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes

[]

# To enable empty passwords, change to yes (NOT RECOMMENDED)
PermitEmptyPasswords no

# Change to no to disable s/key passwords
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no

# Change to yes to enable tunnelled clear text passwords
PasswordAuthentication no


and before you do that (i.e., while passwords is still on) do

ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [EMAIL PROTECTED]

it will prompt you for the password, copy up the key and tweak a
couple permissions if needed. Then you can test it using public-key

Debian default ssh configuration problem with public/private key checking

[- Tong -]

Hi, 

I'm trying to setup Debian to accept my remote ssh
login. No problem with that, but I'm facing a
configuration problem: 

It doesn't seem to be able to handle/accept the public/private key
checking, i.e.,what sourceforge.net is doing [1], but insists on checking
login password [2], which is not a recommended practice.

This is a vanilla sshd configuration. I.e., everything from Debian default. 
What changes should I make to enable the public/private key Authentication?

thanks

[1] Correct log to ssh into sourceforge.net:

 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct

 debug1: Next authentication method: publickey

what was the problem? there are 2.6 series kernel in sarge (2.6.8 I
think). You should be able to just do it without messing with Etch
packages. and since you've started... you may need to finish moving up

I think there is some new console-font stuff happening. You can see it

I am using approx for a at least one year now. I used apt-proxy before.
Approx is fast and simple. There is almost no configuration (just add
the repository you want to use) and change the sources.list of your
host. Concerning speed, i move from apt-proxy which can achieve 1MBps
to approx (2-4MBps). 

I cannot compare with apt-cacher since i have never used it.

if you can somehow get on the same ethernet network, you might have

Connect to DOS box

[John K Masters]

At work I use a networked box that runs from Novell Netware on DOS v5.0
This runs very old accounting software. The box itself is a P120 with
16 MB RAM and a small HD (about 128MB). No OS on the HD.

I have managed to persuade the somewhat ITphobic management to provide me
a standalone box on which to analyse the daily data. Obviously I have
installed Debian Etch. Having written a few Python scripts to take the
output of printed reports and parse them into an OO spreadsheet it is
all coming together.

However, to transfer the files I have to use a floppy disc. How can I
connect the 2 boxes? The DOS box cannot boot from CD, has no installed
OS (boots into network off floppy) and has only a serial connection
spare. The network is 10BASE-2 thin ethernet.

Alternative to netselect

[- Tong -]

Hi, 

I had been able to use netselect before. When I tried it again just now, all
sites end up with " ms 30 hops 0% ok". 

I'm wondering why netselect fails on me. My understanding is that netselect
uses ping, but ping works fine for me, but traceroute not. That means 
netselect actually depends on traceroute?

As more and more settings don't allow traceroute to go through, is there
any alternatives to netselect?

2.6 kernel upgrade gives garbled video (w/o X11)

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hi all,

I recently attempted to upgrade my kernel from 2.4.27 to 2.6.18 on my
Sarge installation. First off, I had to change my sources.list to use
the Etch packages because of a dependency loop involving libc6.
However, I did the kernel installation w/ "apt-get install kernel-
image-2.6-686" and the installation completed successfully w/ my Grub
configurations updated automatically.

When I restarted the machine and selected the 2.6 kernel, the boot
process proceeded fine (and I could read all the text scrolling by).
But when it came time to display the login prompt (terminal only, it's
a server, so there's no X11) the screen got all garbled. Essentially
all I can see is flickering black and white boxes covering the screen.
However, I can login and reboot the machine - I just can't see what

2.6 kernel upgrade gives garbled video (w/o X11)

[amhoov]

Hi all,

I recently attempted to upgrade my kernel from 2.4.27 to 2.6.18 on my
Sarge installation. First off, I had to change my sources.list to use
the Etch packages because of a dependency loop involving libc6.
However, I did the kernel installation w/ "apt-get install kernel-
image-2.6-686" and the installation completed successfully w/ my Grub
configurations updated automatically.

When I restarted the machine and selected the 2.6 kernel, the boot
process proceeded fine (and I could read all the text scrolling by).
But when it came time to display the login prompt (terminal only, it's
a server, so there's no X11) the screen got all garbled. Essentially
all I can see is flickering black and white boxes covering the screen.
However, I can login and reboot the machine - I just can't see what
I'm typing.

Anyone have any suggestions on this one? I tried installing the kernel-
image-2.6-386 on a lark, but I still ran into the same problem. I'm
not passing any special kernel parameters on boot to the 2.4 kernel
either. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Aaron

Hda is Maxtor 6Y080P0: 28°C and is older

(g)mplayer stops

[Barry Samuels]

I have two machines both running uptodate Debian Testing. They both  
have Mplayer and mozilla-mplayer installed.


One of them will play video from the web using Iceweasel and the other  
won't. On the one that won't I see a message saying 'buffering' then a  
short while later 'stopped'. Restarting produces the same 'stopped'  
message.


Also on the machine that doesn't play if I start gmplayer or mplayer  
from a console window the lines displayed are the same as on the  
machine that does work except for the last line which is:


Option Creating needs a parameter at line 1

and then back to the console prompt.

Any ideas please?

do you have package 'resolvconf' installed? It should take care of your
resolv.conf file and configure it properly from interface-up-scripts.

I'm trying to run a custom Linux install script from initramfs.  I want
to avoid the possibility of mistakenly installing Linux over the top of
my boot device. :)  Hence, needing to know with certainty which device I
booted Linux from.

I'm trying to boot Linux from a USB drive on a system that may have
other USB, IDE, SCSI drives present, each of which could possibly have
GRUB/Linux already installed.

Ideally I would like to determine the root device without ever having
mounted any other devices.

If I know which is the boot device, I can present a menu of choices
excluding the boot device on which Linux can be installed which would
involve partitioning, formatting, and copying files.

actually it will say something like root=302, which means that is was device

Is there another possibility?




Which of these two is actually used in the 'ServerLayout' section? 
Whichever it is, you could try switching it to the other and see what 
happens.


Or if both are there (as they are for my laptop) you could try 
commenting one out to see which is actually defining the wheel.  Then 
edit the conf file to change the 'Option "Protocol"' for that device to 
be some other descriptor.


Another thought, based on output from 'gpm -t help', the imps name is 
not listed, but imps2 is.  But it seems to include some sort of wheel 
functionality.  So you might try a very basic interface, such as 'ps2' 
or 'fups2' (described as being used for 'broken' PS/2 mice).


Though the names are from gpm they should match names used by X11, since 
the two have to (and do in my experience) work together.

Hi,


I installed qemu on Sid.

But Sid's kqemu is backlevelled: it depends on a non-existing 2.6.18
kernel.

So I compiled/installed
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/kqemu-1.3.0pre11.tar.gz
and that went uneventful.

*However...* when I try to boot XP with:

qemu -m 256 -localtime -hda /hda7/xp.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -fda 
/dev/fd0


it hangs the whole system absolutely solid: stops all the 
clocks+applets

and needs the red button.

Without kqemu it boots XP.

Does anybody run qemu with kqemu installed successfully?

Thanks for the replies.

However you cannot use the kqemu Sid package because that depends 
upon a

non-existent kernel.


The source package is also on Sid. Try installing that using m-a (the 
Debian way but I have also numerous times used sources from the site 
and compiled manually and simply copied the .ko to it correct place), 
change that modprobed/kqemu file and try again. I do not have XP 
images around to try but qemu runs most everything.


For an alternative, you might try virtualbox (they have an opensource 
version, a free binary and a paid product). Runs some stuff better 
then qemu, somewhat different approach. But it does not run everyting 
qemu does.






I saw that: it is kqemu_1.3.0~pre11.orig.tar.gz. But the kqemu I 
installed with is kqemu-1.3.0pre11.tar.gz. Seems to me to be the very 
same thing. I was going to try a different kernel, I am now running

Linux debian 2.6.21-1-k7 #1 SMP PREEMPT
and I was going to backup to 2.6.18-k7 which no longer is in Sid but I 
kept the .debs in my repository.
It's more a question of "this ought to work" than running XP because I 
found out what I needed to know by now.


So kqemu-1.3.0pre11 (the latest version) hangs the system solid with 
2.6.21-1-k7, the Debian stock kernel. But I have modified that kernel 
with 2.6.21-ck2 from here:

http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/

Going back to the plain 2.6.18-4-k7 Debian kernel and reinstalling kqemu 
all errors disappear and XP initiates "normally" (i.e. M$'s version of 
"normal").


So the problem lies either in 2.6.21-1-k7 or in the -ck modification.



In neither. The 2.6.21-1-k7 kernel kqemu fails with has been modified by 
me to turn *off* paravirtualization. Defined as follows:



Paravirtualization is a way of running multiple instances of
Linux on the same machine, under a hypervisor.  This option
changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
under a hypervisor, improving performance significantly.
However, when run without a hypervisor the kernel is
theoretically slower.  If in doubt, say N.

The reason I do that is because with PARAVIRT_CONFIG *set* the 
installation of the nvidia closed source driver will fail.


So I turned it off and... qemu hangs on execution.

There is an alternative way of using the unmodified 
linux-image-2.6.21-1-k7/686 and instead modifying the 
linux-kbuild-2.6.21 .deb and installing the nvidia driver by hand and 
twiddling some things.


The gory details are here:
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=89844

So qemu hangs in kernel 2.6.21 if you turned off paravirtualization and 
are using kqemu. End of story.


Have a good day.

Waking up server during boot prevents NFS mounts after upgrade to etch

[Malte Forkel]

Because my server is not running all the time, clients that want to 
mount NFS volumes use a small initscript during boot to wake up the 
server if necessary. After upgrading the clients from sarge to etch, 
mounting NFS volumes does not work anymore if the server wasn't up already.


The initscript is called /etc/rcS.d/S41wakeupserver during boot, i.e. 
after networking and before portmap and mountnfs.sh. It uses ping to 
wait until the network is accessible. Then, if ping still fails because 
the server does not respond, wakeonlan is used to wake up the server. 
Then, again ping is used to wait until the server responds - or the 
operation times out.


I understand that in etch, NFS mounts are performed as soon as the 
interface becomes available. But disabling asynchronous mounts 
(ASYNCMOUNTNFS=no) does not help. It just keeps the clients from waiting 
for 90 seconds before giving up on the NFS mounts.


It takes the server about 1 minute to boot. If the server is up before 
the client boots, NFS mounts work fine. With or without asynchronous 
mounting. So, may be I have some sort of a timing problem?


What has changed from sarge to etch that makes my NFS mounts fail? How 
do I have to change my initscript?


Thanks in advance, Malte

Most packages use debconf for this - so you'll need to:
# dpkg-reconfigure debconf

And you should be able to choose the "noninteractive" interface. This
won't ask any questions at all.

The above will change the system-wide default - if you just want to
change it for a single invocation of apt, set the DEBIAN_FRONTEND
environment variable:
# DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install whatever

Hope this helps

PS: Have a look at the debconf(7) man page (in the debconf-doc package)
- should be useful for you.

Not modifying the kernel solved the problem.

ssh on lan by hostname instead of dynamic ip

Hello,

I use unison and rsync on my home LAN. Everything works fine as long
as I use ip addresses, for example,

ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But my router (on home LAN) assigns dynamic ip addresses. So my
scripts don't work if the router happens to assign a different address
that day to one of my machines.

Is there a way to use ssh and rsync using hostname instead of ip
address. It seems to me I've had this working once or twice, but then
it stops.
