I am using nativecd. I replaced the kernel with 2.6.27.7-lcd for remastering purposes. I was reading the changelog on 1.4.2 and you state that rc.local scripts have been moved to rc.M.

When booting, I see messages saying its starting the servers. However, when examining rc.local there is nothing there. So, I did a ps aux | grep 'nameofserver' and it finds them running and the pid's.

I hate to take up your time but I am curious to how this works. Are the servers running? It appears so. Do I need to do anything with rc.M scripts?

thanks

btw: 1.4.2 seems to be pretty stable. Have not found any problems since you released.

It's not scripts actually, just an entry to an rc startup script to call every script individually.
All entries in rc.local moved to rc.M.
rc.local called at the end of all, and usually it's clean for users to add their custom entries.
You don't need to do anything to rc.M, in fact, you should never edit any of those files, unless you know what you are doing.
If you have a script you want to startup at boot, just place the entry in rc.local.

Me too I am having a problem with rc.local...

If I add "loadkeys XX" to change the keyboard map to XX... it works.
If I add "ndiswrapper -l" to print the status of the card... it works.

If I add "modprobe ndiswrapper"... I get "modprobe: command not found".
The same if I add "ifconfig" or "iwconfig" statements.

??? not found? Is this a bash/sh or similar problem?
Should I add the bash statement before the command or something in the lilo.conf?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Max

Always enter the full patch of command e.g.
/sbin/modprobe ndiswrapper

Thanks, it worked!

Now my only doubt is related to the initial page presented by the Apache... I updated (using netconfig) the hostname and the domain... but on the starting page presented by the http server... only the server name is reported/updated (in the php or html page, I mean).

"CONGRATULATIONS! If you can see this page your server is up and running, and unless you didn't stop the name server you should access the Webmin interface on port 10000 via https://server:10000 or else https:// [your current IP] :10000"

Therefore, the links provided on the Apache welcome page are not working.

The same applies for the CUPS and for the WEBMIN "Quick Log-On". All the rest is ok... I think because the server.domain is retrieved from the original browser request.

If I put the right link "https://server.domain:10000" in the address bar... everything is ok (I have Dynamic Update Client running and the IP/hostname link is ok).

If you confirm me that it is a wrong behavior... I can update the page and provide it to you tomorrow (at least I am useful somehow).

Bye,
Max

If 'server' is your hostname then it's OK. That's the way it should be.
The purpose, for security reasons, it's to administrate your server within a local network and not via internet.
You can but it's not recommended.
You can edit /var/www/htdocs/index.php and enter the full 'hostname.domain' if that's what you want..

Oh, ok... yes, in my case I'd like to be able to administrate from remote.
I am far from the server most of the time and I would like to enable the services I need only when I need them.

I have another question about security... I'll use a new post, since I am going off-topic inside here.

Thanks,
Max
