Message-ID: <416557D0.7020008@soliton.com>

Hi,

I haven't read my mail for 6 months, and I see that no messages were 
coming in for moths. There is no list on the old address, exceptr for 
some "new-list". Also, I think there was a Red Hat 9 based image on ftp 
server, now I see only DM images, and NW9-base.
Can someone point me to the right direction?

Thank you.

Hi Jugoslav,

The new list is all we have got for the time being.  Considering how 
little traffic passed on the previous lists, it made sense to combine 
them all into one.  If traffic gets too much, there is always "digest" 
mode, or we can create new lists.

Discussions are still ongoing with the ISP regarding getting back the 
netwinder.org hardware.  There is data on the hard drive that we do not 
have backed up elsewhere (yes, I know, it shouldn't happen, but...).

As for the disk images... you are thinking of NW9 which is the arm port 
of RH9.  It was briefly called "rh9" but changed the name just to avoid 
any misleading advertising.

Cheers
-Ralph

Hello,
 
I have a Netwinder and need to see if a user has been improperly using
their account.  Is there a user log located anywhere that would show
login times / duration?  I am particularly interested in seeing their
ftp activity/sessions.
 
Thank you

There is a command called "last" that will show you all the logins and 
their durations.  You can feed this into "less" or "grep" to search for 
specific users.

FTP also maintains a long in /var/log/xferlog of all the files transfered.

Please note, the support@netwinder.org list has been merged together 
with the other lists into a single netwinder@netwinder.org list.  You'll 
need to re-subscribe if you want to receive list traffic.

Subject: tftp / NFS Root - eth1?
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0410281502520.28808-100000@sun1.moon127.net>

Sorry Ralph et al for digging this up again.

Im pretty sure when I asked it 6 months or more ago, the answer was a
resounding yes, that these days I *should* be able to use the tulip
100Mbit interface for network booting??

Unfortunately we dont have access to the old mailing lists anymore (unless
they are available on teh mirrors??).

If I configure eth1 (tulip) within the nettrom, I dont seem to be able to
tftp the kernel, whereas vie eth0 (winbond) everything etherboots as
expected.

The other issue-ette I came across, was that compiling up a new kernel
with non modular tulip support, the 100 megabit interface becomes eth0 and
the 10 meg eth1 once the kernel starts up...

Any advice or hints?

Basically, the harddrive is dying yet again, I dont want to retire the
netwinder just yet, and as it only hosts my personal sites via DSL, there
is no reason to need anything faster than 10Mbits for the outside world,
but I could do with more performance for NFS!!

Thanks in advance guys!

Yes.  It does work with 2.3.3 firmware (and probaly earlier too).

I don't think so, unfortunately...

How exactly are you setting it up?  I believe you need to do:

setenv netconfig_eth0 disk   (to disable it)
setenv netconfig_eth1 dhcp

Keep in mind that the request will come from a different MAC address, in 
case your DHCP server is configured specifically for one address.

That's a common problem.  You can solve it two ways: one is to manually 
insmod the modules in the order you want - the first device will become 
eth0, etc.

The second way is to put certain entries into /etc/modules.conf, I 
believe something like:

alias eth0 ne2k
alias eth1 tulip

You could also look into using a CF-to-IDE adapter... replace the HDD 
with a suitably large flash (say 256MB, enough for webserving/firewall 
etc)...
