When "synaptic helper" configure m23 it loops on certifcate creation.

Did you install over an existing m23 installation? Are there additional (previous) error messages? Did you answer "yes" to all m23 package questions? _________________ Hauke Goos-Habermann - project leader m23 (http://m23.sf.net) - Jabber: dodgerm23@jabber.org Schulung, Entwicklung und Support zu m23 und anderen OpenSource-Produkten: www.goos-habermann.de Auch DU kannst etwas gegen Softwarepatente tun! www.patentfrei.de Back to top iban Guest Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2006 14:09    Post subject: solution I installed it via sinaptic many times and via APT too. But finnaly i fixed the problem. I generated a certificate manually and puted it in the "right" dir. And now it works... I'm actually testing it on our computers... There are severals "bugs" and needs of "evolutions"... Like the possibility of put hostnames with specials characters ( "-" for example). And it would be great if m23 could work in a network where it is not the "main" server, i mean there is already dhcp, proxies, and stuff in our network. By the way it seems "strange" to me to have to "hard" specify the ip address of the client instead of hostnames... Anyway, thx for the help. I'm going to test it a bit more...

It seems that it is possible to do this by editing an existing client... But not while creating one...

The packages worked well on my test server installed with the Sarge packages from the internet and m23. It seems that there is a difference. iban wrote: There are severals "bugs" and needs of "evolutions"... Please post me the full bug list to the forum. iban wrote: Like the possibility of put hostnames with specials characters ( "-" for example). You can change the hostname checking by replacing Code: eregi("[^a-z0-9_]+",$string,$tempvar); with Code: eregi("[^a-z0-9_-]+",$string,$tempvar); in the file /m23/inc/checks.php in the function checkNormalKeys. This will be included in the next patch. iban wrote: And it would be great if m23 could work in a network where it is not the "main" server, i mean there is already dhcp, proxies, and stuff in our network.

You need an DHCP under the control of m23. An external DHCP can't be used for tjis purpose. The network settings are only distributed via the m23 DHCP server as long as network booting is required for a special client. If the client has finished the base installation its MAC is removed from the m23 DHCP server configuration. _________________ Hauke Goos-Habermann - project leader m23 (http://m23.sf.net) - Jabber: dodgerm23@jabber.org Schulung, Entwicklung und Support zu m23 und anderen OpenSource-Produkten: www.goos-habermann.de Auch DU kannst etwas gegen Softwarepatente tun! www.patentfrei.de Back to top Hauke Joined: 02 Mar 2003 Posts: 1072 Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 16:50    Post subject: I've just checked my packages on a freshly installed Debian 3.1 R2 system and couldn't reproduce the ceritificate error you had. For me the installation went smoothly and m23 got installed correctly. Is additional software installed on your test system? Could you post me the package list (dpkg --get-selections)? Are there installed self-compiled programs? Does there exist unusual configuration? _________________ Hauke Goos-Habermann - project leader m23 (http://m23.sf.net) - Jabber: dodgerm23@jabber.org Schulung, Entwicklung und Support zu m23 und anderen OpenSource-Produkten: www.goos-habermann.de Auch DU kannst etwas gegen Softwarepatente tun! www.patentfrei.de Back to top iban Joined: 19 Jun 2006 Posts: 7 Posted: Mon Jul 17, 2006 13:43    Post subject: Sorry Sorry for this long period without answers... The machine crashed (hardware problems), and "we" decided to do our stuff without m23 for now. Thanks for help and good luck with your nice project...
