I have a Debian server that had only one onboard NIC (1000 Gbps) but now I've added two PCI Intel Pro 1000 NIC's into the system to bump up the total # of NIC's to three. My question now is can I specifically assign or force Debian which interface to configure as ethx? I would always like my onboard NIC to be 'eth0' and the two additional NIC's to be 'eth1' and 'eth2'. For some reason Debian loads the modules at random and sometimes what was my
i have recently installed freeradius in my debian jessie. i want to configure it to act as radius to my home router to authenticate wifi users. i want to use EAP-PWD auth medthod but there is no such section found in eap.conf.does any body know's how to configure EAP-PWD??
ok I am using Debian 4 bigmem and I set up static ip for my box. This is for a class and we will be moving the hard drives around the lab to different computers. My question is what do I configure to get Debian to be ok with my using different nics at different times.
My first time I used it, I had eth0, but now I'm on a different computer (same type of hardware on all systems) but my nic is now eth1... And I had to set up static again for that nic. How can I have it just maintain a static ip for whatever nic/mac address on the computer that my hard drive happens to be put on?
I've got a task: make time server, that gets time from gps, shows it on display and send to different systems through different ports like com, ltp, etc.
Solution is qt program, included in hybrid iso image.
I've created my binary-hybrid.iso debian, added my program and installed it on pc sudo dd if=/media/cdrom/binary-hybrid.iso of=/dev/sda then i restarted and everything is ok, but...
I also need: 1) to make my pc works as ntp-server, to do this i must change file ntp.conf in ntp****.deb before i build my iso how can i do this?
as i realized according to live.debian.net/manual it's possible to do by putting smth to /live-build/config/packages.chroot and by adding some parameters to lb config but i can't find how and what
2) to save my program parameters after reboot. for example, i have such parameter as gmt. it defined as +3. i can change it while program is running to -5 for example and i want to have gmt -5 when i next time turn on my computer
When in programming it is simple - program creates ini file in it's directory and read/write parameters from this ini-file, but how to make possible to do the same thing when it works from iso?
I am using Debian testing. If I install the gnome-desktop-environment then the sound driver defaults to HDA but since I just installed gnome-core (for a more stripped-down version of gnome) the default is the OSS driver. How do I get ALSA to default to the sound driver HDA?
I saw rsyslog is now installed in Debian Lenny instead of syslog. I want to send local iptables log to remote server. I modified the file config /etc/rsyslog.conf like this :
I'm renting a server which comes with 5 IP addresses, but only one network device. From what I can understand I'm able to create aliases by adding entries to /etc/networks/interfaces, I haven't tried I'm in the planning stages. Hypothetically, 192.168.22.30 is my primary IP and I want to set eth0:1 to have 192.168.22.31, and then after that I want to create a virtual machine (using kvm/qemu) that is able to communicate bidirectionally to the internet over eth0:1, and leave eth0 strictly for administrating (not for VM traffic).
The qemu guides I'm finding seem to assume that I want to use TAP or VDE, what I want to use is a sub-ip/alias. One guide I saw had me eliminate everything from eth0 and put it under br0. That would leave me unable to ssh into my server (and unable to administrate). Is there a way I can do something along the lines of: qemu [options] -net [option] -netdev=eth0:1 ?
I'm trying to setup a DHCP server that serves several different VLANs, we have 5 in total. Our network is working correctly, with static IPs, we're able to ping across without any issues.
When I connect my debian box to an interface on VLAN5, statically assign an address in the correct range, it works. Similarly with all other VLANs.
To configure this box as a DHCP, I set one of the ports on the switch as trunk, connect that to the debian box to allow all VLAN traffic to reach my debian box.
I setup DHCP following the steps on [URL] ....
Then I configured different VLANs by following the steps on [URL] .....
However, with the vlans setup, I am unable to ping anything. This is essentially what I did.
Code: Select allSet the port on the switch to trunk with 802.1 encapsulation disable eth0 vconfig add eth0 5 # to add vlan 5 ifconfig eth0.5 192.168.5.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 up vconfig add eth0 5 # to add vlan 10 ifconfig eth0.5 192.168.10.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
[Code] ....
I do not know why I am unable to get any connectivity through my VLAN interfaces.
I was wondering if/how it would be possible to compile a kernel package where two featuresets are applied. I notice that xen-vserver seems to have been done and wanted to make a xen-openvz kernel if possible to use VZ containers in a Xen DomU. I've tried reading the metadata files in the debian/ dir of the kernel source but there seems to be a lot "going on" and I couldn't make much sense of it...
I have a laptop running Debian Squeeze that has one wifi nic - wlan0. The ethernet nic eth0 is faulty.I have configured /etc/network/interfaces to enable wlan0 to access my home wireless LAN. The SSID for this connection is wlan1 and the security used is WPA2.A second SSID configured for the wireless LAN is wlan2 and the security used on this second SSID is WPA.Is it possible to configure wifi networking on this laptop to be able to connect to this wifi network using either SSID - wlan1 or wlan2 - via the laptop's sole network interface, wlan0?
I have several mails which I want to scan by using spamc and thats the problem.
It works when I use just one mail message as a parameter of spamc. E.g. spamc -c < 17383. BUT when I want to pass several messages on spamc e.g. spamc -c < 17383. 18974.(spamc scan just the first message) OR when I use a whole directory e.g. spamc < ./test/* it doesnt work. (output: -bash: ./test/*: ambiguous redirect)
how to pass multiple files in command line on spamc? I know - I can create a script, but I would be glad if it worked for testing in CLI (command above).
I have been trying to configure an MTA (sendmail) on a new Debian installation to receive system messages and local network mail. I have no need to fetch or relay mail outside my teeny LAN. The logs on the sending machine told me the mails were refused by the receiving (Debian Lenny) system. So I ran some quick nmap scans. From the sending machine, scanning the Debian machine:
PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 111/tcp open rpcbind
From the Debian machine, running 'nmap localhost':
PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 25/tcp open smtp 111/tcp open rpcbind 587/tcp open submission
From the Debian machine, running 'nmap debian' (this is a virtual machine named debian) :
PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh 111/tcp open rpcbind
Why the two different results? How do I get the scans to be the same so I can, eventually, configure an MTA?
I've been trying to configure Postgresql in Debian for some time now, in order to install a ERP program in my computer, but when trying to follow the tutorial for the program configuration I end up stalled. Basically its says this:
1) under su, start by finding the postgresql.conf file (it points the location of the file in /var/lib/postgres/data, but it isn't there) and find the line saying 'tcpip_socket' and changing it to "true"
After a little search and help, I found this file in /etc/postgresql/<version>/main/ but the mentioned line is absent, locate it or tell me where to add it in the file? I've read the file front to back and I'm pretty sure the line isn't there.This is, according to the tutorial, to enable the server to connect to a Java program through the JDBC.
2) after editing postgresql.conf, edit pg_hba.conf and add the following line to the end of the file: host all all 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255 trust
I get stuck after this, because I'm now supposed to restart the server by using '/etc/init.d/postgresql restart', but bash replies that the path is invalid. The program I'm trying to install is hosted here: [URL]. It's a portuguese ERP program.
To exploit the guessnet capability, I have configured my WIFI so that ifplugd can auto connect WIFI after boot.The access point is hidden, and I have provided all the required info in my /etc/network/interfaces file
how to configure my firestarter firewall. I have a website which requires the port 1935 to be open. I figured out how to open the port using firestarter. Is there anyway to make the port open only to this website, and not to every other website for security reasons of course.
I've created Live Debian USB image and it works well, but if I put an additional USB stick, then it's just read only. Howto configure Live Debian before rebuild an image to get fully USB support, i mean to write into other USB drives?
The first thing that comes to my mind is to add (copy) the script in /etc/init.d and the /etc/rc* directories by hand. Debian's automatic handling of init scripts on package install/removal is quite nice, so I tend to shy away from making any manual changes if there's an automated way to do it. Which leads me to the question: is there an official way to run a second instance of a daemon? (Tried google, didn't find much more than a bug report).
I have a rather urgent problem with my network, I got two virtual network interfaces one internal and one external. The problem is; I can't get connection to internet. The external NIC is set as a NAT and the internal is... internal.
Currently, a user is able to log into multiple terminals simultaneously, creating a copy of their roaming profile on each, and potentially causing problems if the instances are logged out in the wrong order. Is there any way to prevent this, so that if a user has logged in on a machine and not logged out (and perhaps some timeout has not yet expired) then their login attempts on another machine will be rejected.
I have 2 users on my HPmini 210 netbook running Squeeze. I just found out that it does not connect to existing wireless networks when I login as the second user. Is it supposed to happen by default or am I supposed to do something to make that happen? Another problem is that when I tried to create "new connections" again for the second user, the keys won't work. The same keys are working for the first user. The network keys are WEP 64 bit HEX.
Our Canon MX340 printer is WiFi connected using an IP address. This works well except that whenever the printer is turned off (for any reason) it chooses another IP next time it is turned on. As near as I can tell, it has two IP numbers: 192.168.1.64 and 192.168.1.65 Is it possible to enter both in the CUPS configuration so that CUPS will find the printer whichever number it is using?

my tablet can receive ip, can see ftp on server but can't see anything in my home network.
I have just set up the above OS, however, installation did not find my network and therefore APT additional software & security updates could not be accessed.The network was simple to setup post installation.I have uncommented a few sources in the sources list file but obviously that does not,in itself, suffice to get accessability. I am also unable to configure my supported HP printer and I assume that can only be done with an additional package via APT.
I have just installed Debian Squeeze on my spare computer (dual booted with Ubuntu 11.04) and I cannot connect to the internet using Squeeze. Due to my ISP, I have to manually connect this computer and on Ubuntu copying and pasting a text file such as this into the terminal works with no problems.What do I need to do to manually configure my Squeeze internet connection?

I've always used Debian with a single monitor and no need of proprietary drivers, because I usually don't do graphics or multimedia. Now I'm asked to set-up a machine with 3 nvidia video cards (770) and 4 monitors and everything went south. I started with just 2 monitors connected to 2 different video cards, not wanting to push my luck.
I installed a fresh Jessie and followed the instruction to install the nvidia drivers and tools from the Wiki. Everything went smooth. After reboot I executed (as root) nvidia-settings and I configured the two monitors to be one to the right to the other, with BaseMosaic option (at this point just one monitor was active) I saved the configuration to /etc/X11/xorg.conf , I even executed nvidia-xconfig as suggested, I rebooted and nothing happened, only one monitor was working, while the other -- looking again in the nvidia settings -- was still disabled.
I then tried with xinerama option and things are even worse, since now both monitors are black. I can login in one textual shell, but then I don't know what to do, since in my 10+ years of linux ... I never had to mess with X server. Is there a way to at least recover a working X without reinstalling everything?
I am having some troubles using iptable rules on two Servers that act as Gateways pointed to one backend server with only one interface.
To be more exact, i have 3 Servers, 2 of those have a public and a private interface, with different public ips but common private interface ( they connect to the same switch ), the last one only has 1 private interface and is connected to that same switch.
Those 2 servers also act as a gateway and a firewall for the private network.
My problem is that i cannot seem able to route traffic from both of those to the third one and back to the same public ip that the request came from ( effectivly using two gateways on the machine with only one interface ).
As a testing scenario i am using ferm for applying iptable rules that forward ssh traffic ( for example ) to the backend server, and it works well when i do it with one gateway.
When i apply something like this in /etc/network/interfaces on the backend server though:
Code: Select allauto eth0:0 eth0:1 # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0:1 inet static   address  192.168.9X.XXX   netmask  255.255.255.0   broadcast 192.168.9X.255   network  192.168.9X.0
[Code] ....
Even though forcing selection of an interface from the backend server ( like curl --interface ) seems to work well, meaning that the request to the curl appear to happen from the correct public ip, i can still only use one of the public ips to access the server with the ferm rules. Ideally i should be able to ssh to the backend server from both public ips using their ferm rules for forwarding traffic to the backend server.
I feel like i am missing some details on routing that should happen on the firewalls as the backend server seems to be able to use both gateways to access the internet and receive replies from it.
