I figured out how to do the remote conserver thingey!
on any system put '/etc/conserver.cf' with bits such as
default cs0 { type host; host 10.255.3.5; portbase 7000; portinc 1; master cs0; }
console myhost { include cs0; port 0; speed 19200; }
then on the actual host 'cs0' have the similar entries
default portmaster { type host; host 10.255.3.5; portbase 7000; portinc 1; master cs0; }
console myhost { include portmaster; port 0; speed 19200; }
the actual host cs0 lines above are only required if you want 'console myhost' to work the same on both
in any event the other bit to do is to have 'access * { trusted remotehost; trusted 127.0.0.1; }' in the cs0 system
so how this works is .. the 'console' app reads conserver.cf for 'console ..' entries and subsequently 'default ..' entries etc. the 'master' bit tells it where to connect (default is 'localhost')
the 'conserver' app reads conserver.cf and basically reads the 'access' lines .. the 'console' app tells the conserver daemon what to do from there, if I understand properly
s/speed/baud/ but anyway
up_the_irons: when I log into my portal, there's a little graphic to the right of the arpnetworks logo, top left... what's it mean?
between the logo and "All the right pieces"
Lefty: it's a graphic my wife made, to signify the "pieces"; had it on the original website and always kinda liked it, so it's there :)
neat
omg hai Lefty :O
qbit_: hah, you knew I was here!
yeah, i have you hilighted
yeah, that's a bit odd.
aye - i am just joking
;)
I need to get a reverse DNS entry put in place for my VPS. I sent an email off to support, but I just want to verify that I can't do this myself?
i believe you can now do it yourself.
if you open a ticket, they can do classless delegation to nameservers you provide, and let you manage your own rdns.
dunno if you can do it through the portal.
(classless. No class at all.)
(like kraigu)
yes, this feature has existed in the portal for quite some time now
after i released it, i never was asked for classless delegation again, ever
;)
ahstanford: just go in the Portal and click 'Reverse DNS'
Thank you!
np
up_the_irons: eh, unprompted, I wouldn't either. It's absolutely stunning how many people just can't wrap their heads around it.
yeah
work' ISP refused to believe that it would work, even after I showed them.
work's
LOL
Wrap their heads around what?
(I'm probably one of them...)
DNS in general, classless delegation, or?
classless delegation.
Ah, alright.
