devil-linux-develop Mailing List for Devil-Linux (Page 298)

Hello Friedrich,

I completely agree. We're not there where we want to be.
But WHAT is it we want ?????

--> We should create a roadmap or something that drives us to a stage where
we can say okay: now the point has come to write to ct,ix and other
magazines.


In my eyes devil-linux is "just a distribution", but a special one ;-)

in other words: it is the basis for a lot of other tools !
You can run a bgp-router with zebra or a nameserver with named and so on.
As one can see there are various possible applications.

We have to add a lot of packages (is smoothwall a package ??? *smile) in
order to allow a whole bunch of applications.
For example a set-permissions-script as we know it from suse would be great.

to be continued....

Have a nice sunday and bye.

Hmmm, I don't think so. Take a look at
 http://lwn.net/Distributions/
There must be some equivalent distribution around.

It's the last none beta.

IMHO we are not quite there were we want to be, that's why we only
have betas right now. I would wait with writing articles for magezines
till we have a really stable and secure base. With secure I mean,
verified by 1000 eyes. With stable I mean that we are just updating
the sources of the tools to the new version which fix security
problems and not system relevant stuff like SysV init, ....

Hi,

I'm really impressed by the statistics
https://sourceforge.net/project/stats/index.php?report=months&group_id=34096

Correct me if I'm wrong, but we have no real competitor right now, or?
I'm also suprised, because currently we have a lot of downloads of the very old 0.44 release.

Do you have any suggestions to make Devil-Linux even more well-known?
I'm not sure, if we're ready do write something to Linux Magazines.
When I think what the C'T Magazine wrote about Smoothwall, I'm scared the same can happen to us.

Shouldn't we set it to the safer behaviour of
 ddns-update-style none;
so at least people get it running right away.

If you take an old config and don't know about the command
ddns-update-style you're lost for some time till you stumble over it
somewhere, like I did once.

I suggest using this as a starting config (simple_dhcpd.conf):

##---CUT---##
# a minimal /etc/dhcpd.conf example

# this statement is needed by dhcpd-3
# it needs at least this statement.
## REMOVE the '#' from the following line, otherwise it wont start
#ddns-update-style none;

# this subnet is served by us
authoritative;

# declare the lease times (the time after which a client will renew its lease)
default-lease-time              600;    # 10 minutes
max-lease-time                  7200;   # 2 hours

# let's give the local domain a name
# (which should correlate to your name server configuration)
option domain-name              "beer";

# this assumes that your dhcp server is also the router for the subnet
option routers                  192.168.0.1;

# clients shall use this host as nameserver, too
option domain-name-servers      192.168.0.1;

# this can explicitely be specified
option broadcast-address        192.168.0.255;

# these 10 addresses will be given out dynamically
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.0.11 192.168.0.20;
  # options may also be put here if they are not global
}
