anyone else than me that has ipv6 routing issues?
trying to get to 2a01:298:f001:a106::1337, but it ends up in occaid.net router in , what I assume , stockholm
gluffis: I can reach that IP from here in the UK, but not from my VPS at ARP
Where it works for me, traffic goes via he.net . ARP has that route via occaid which appears to not work
plett: yes, that is kinda my problem ;)
if i try the other way around i get a lot of hops in HE's network
feel assymetric ;)
um, I need a ipv6 working mail addy ;/
eh?
an ipv6 mx host?
yah
set one up :P
i'm assuming you have a vps on arp :P
yes, sure
but I fight with postfix ;p
Then install something sensible like exim instead ;)
i hope that was a joke  =)
Personally I like exim, but no, it wasn't meant to be taken as a suggestion or recommendation
Hey, I use sendmail.
It was rather simple to setup for ipv6
There wasn't any config for exim - it listened on v6 by default
plett: How much other config was needed?
arenlor: To do what? My config is fairly complicated
plett: To get it running
If you just want to deliver mail to/from system users, nothing
This is on Debian Linux, btw. I don't know what the FreeBSD port is like
I use Debian
Then you already have exim installed, unless you've made efforts to remove it
I'll definitely have to see if I can use it, thanks.
arenlor: You would want to start with "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config", and telling it that it's connected to the internet and should listen on external interfaces
gluffis: tried to make that route go over HE, but not having luck
to OpenBSD admins, suggestions welcome:
sudo route add -inet6 -net 2a01:298:: -prefixlen 32 2001:504:13::1a
route: writing to routing socket: File exists
add net 2a01:298::: gateway 2001:504:13::1a: File exists
i always just do -net 2a01:298::/32
openbgpd?
leev: i would like to do that, but that never works for me, i get : route: 2a01:298::/32: bad value
leev: yeah, openbgpd
i should just put it in bgpd.conf i suppose
weird.  i've only played with freebsd, not openbsd
ok, this worked:
s3.lax:~> sudo route delete -inet6 -net 2a01:298:: -prefixlen 32
delete net 2a01:298::
s3.lax:~> sudo route add -inet6 -net 2a01:298:: -prefixlen 32 2001:504:13::1a
add net 2a01:298::: gateway 2001:504:13::1a
s3.lax:~>
lol, still goes over occaid
bah
haha
oh, i see why
a more specific is coming through
2a01:298:f001::/48
hmm
seems fine going through occaid
10  2a01:298:f001:a106::1337  102.337 ms  99.874 ms  102.671 ms
it dies on ibr01-g1-1.stkh02.occaid.net
for me
try now
standby
works!
thanks for the fix
gluffis: routing fixed
hmmm.  that is weird what happened.  i'll take a look
cool
ahhh bgp.. how I don't miss that  :)
despite it being a friday evening in the americas, I've got a VPS server boot problem.  Anyone around for some advice?
describe the problem in more detail?
sure
upgrade with do-release-upgrade
on boot, dropped to a grub prompt
manually setting the kernel, etc doesn't work because /dev/sdX doesn't exist
booting off the cd, I can't reinstall grub
Think it's /dev/vda, no?
it does, however, correctly mount the disk as vdX
I don't see it during normal boot
related problem - any way to get networking working on the boot cd?
(I don't see /dev/vda in normal boot, I mean)
in attempting to fix grub, I've managed to make things worse, and am now getting the grub_xputs error.  I believe reinstalling it off the rescue cd would fix it, but I can't access the internet to do it.
Sometimes that's what you gotta do
