RADIUS support for caller ID and call-back
Hello All, Has anyone managed to log the phone numbers of dial-ups with radius? If so, a sample .conf will be really helpful. Also, being the NT fan that my boss is, he's asking if radius can call back a specific user to make sure that the account is being used from a specific telephone line. Thanks, Erik Peter P. Abella
inittab weirdness?
List; Here is a weird one I can't seem to find the cause of. Perhaps it is inane, harmless, etc but it is annoying. I get these respawning too fast errors to the console. They go away when I comment out the S:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS3 line and init q it. Until a reboot that is. Truncated for brevity: or [-hiLmw] [-l login_program] [-t timeout] [-I initstring] [-H login_host] line baud_rate,... [termtype] INIT: Id "S" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes I edit my inittab file to look like this in the last lines: # Example how to put a getty on a modem line. # #S:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS3 After a reboot it looks like this: # how to put a getty on a modem line. S:12345:respawn:/sbin/getty ttyS3 I did all kinds of things like make the file read only but it still happens. I have absolutely no need for a getty on a modem line, I am on a LAN and no phone line ever connects to this box. It is a IBM Thinkpad 701C Laptop with a brand spanking new potato installed yesterday. It connects through a Xircom PC card and 10baseT. Perhaps I have a package installed I don't need or somesuch. Personal replies appreciated, but responding to the list helps everyone. Your time and any ideas appreciated. Thanks Tom

Re: inittab weirdness?
Try something like egrep -r ttyS3 /etc or similar to see what files reference this. If some script is running at boot and adding this line to inittab (or rebuilding inittab entirely), you can find out where this line is coming from by grepping around /etc. If a line in a script adds this line, comment out that part of the script. It's possible that inittab is created from other files upon boot (like /etc/modules.conf). If that is the case, you can modify whatever base file the line comes from.

followup: inittab weirdness?
List; In regards to /etc/inittab being altered to spawn a getty on ttyS3 on reboot. Tried the egrep -r (through the entire filesystem) and ttyS3 shows up in /dev/mem, /dev/core, /dev/kmem/, /etc/inittab and in /var/run/stab, some docs,/usr/include/asm/serial.h and in the logs. Thanks for the tip, Chet! Much cleaner than "for i in `find /dir`; do ls -l &&cat $i|grep ttyS0;done" I am leaning towards it being PCMCIA related as one other person on the list noted the same thing on a laptop. Slowly eliminating what it is not, although I prefer those quantum leaps of intuition! Thanks Tom

Yuck. That's not how to use find!
The simple way to write what you're doing above is
find /dir -exec grep ttyS0 {} \;
though I myself would eliminate all the forking and search only files
find /dir -type f | xargs grep inittab
I agree with the other poster that searching for ttyS0 is probably a
waste of time.

sort of a load balancing question
Hi, This is not a really load balancing question, but similar sort of thing. We are an isp here and we would like to set up two webservers that are completely tranparent(rsync daily). We will only be using one webserver to server all the pages, but if it goes down, we would like the second webserver to take over without any downtime. Is there any programs out there that does this? Thanks.

This is an interesting idea. But there are some problems with this approach. 1. need to reduct TTL to minimise the take over time 2. secondary named server is supposed to maintain exactly the same information as the primary name server 3. it will not work if only webserver died, but not the dns server.

Yuck. That's not how to use find!
The simple way to write what you're doing above is
find /dir -exec grep ttyS0 {} \;
though I myself would eliminate all the forking and search only files
find /dir -type f | xargs grep inittab
I agree with the other poster that searching for ttyS0 is probably a
waste of time.

sort of a load balancing question
Hi, This is not a really load balancing question, but similar sort of thing. We are an isp here and we would like to set up two webservers that are completely tranparent(rsync daily). We will only be using one webserver to server all the pages, but if it goes down, we would like the second webserver to take over without any downtime. Is there any programs out there that does this? Thanks.

Re: sort of a load balancing question
Shao, We are also a small ISP and do exactly that with one of our vital servers. We used rsync for this. Regards, Robert Davidson.

Re: sort of a load balancing question
Hi, Yes. But I would like to know a way to let the backup server automatically take over when the primary web server is down. Thanks. Shao.

This is an interesting idea. But there are some problems with this approach. 1. need to reduct TTL to minimise the take over time 2. secondary named server is supposed to maintain exactly the same information as the primary name server 3. it will not work if only webserver died, but not the dns server.
