allstarlink.org logs

While trying to figure out why, apparently, a node on my DIAL box
dropped all of it's connection, I began to wonder what the logs look
like on the register.allstarlink.org server. How may a controlled few
of us have access to this?

What lead me up to this, is evidently I don't have log rotate turned
on, and asterisk, or some other magical force, decided to stop asterisk
from logging after the log file was 25MB. Not knowing if Asterisk
logger just appends the file with logging info or what.

In any event, I copied the messages log file, and removed the original,
and touched a new messages log. Then I went into the asterisk console,
and restarted the logger module. It is logging again.

This said, while trying to troubleshoot things, I would login to an ASL
box I have access to, and watch the logs when I make a node connection
to it, and also watch the logs on myside.

Somethings I have noticed:
- Using DIAL 8.2, I've never noticed any issues with connections,
either outbound or inbound.

- Using DIAL 8.2, this is what I would see:
[Nov 11 21:26:30] WARNING[545]: chan_iax2.c:10127 iax2_do_register:

(from memory) REGISTER with 67.x.x.x who sees us as x.x.x.x:4569 with
no messages waiting.

- I see now when someone connects:

whereas before it was: AUTHENTICATED

Plus I see a whole bunch of these every few minutes (this is maybe 1/3
count of these lines when it happens. notice the time.

I just went through this yesterday with a new DIAL installation (http://dvswitch.org/files/AllStarLink/RAT_RC1.tar.gz).

As you have observed, netsetup (for Static setup mode) sets the DNS nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf but updating that file directly is not supported for the OS. On reboot, the resolvconf process overwrites /etc/resolv.conf again and removes those entries.

And as you also found, entering dns-nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces doesn’t work with resovconf.

I’ve decided to use netsetup to set networking to DHCP and I set a static MAC entry for the IP I want assigned in my router. This works as expected.

I only had a public IP available, no DHCP.
Just learned this…

Edit /etc/resolvconf.conf

“#name_servers=” to
“name_servers=8.8.8.8” or what ever DNS you’d like

Save and reboot. Works great.

Thanks,

That’s good to know Bob. I’ll keep this note handy.

The Wiki recommends the wrong thing too.

Now, how do we get the maintainer of the build to fix the netsetup script?

I see N4IRS is Steve, the list owner so I added him here to the CC.

Steve, please advise if there is a process to get this into a dev queue.

Thanks

I updated the wiki to reflect this. It would be good if the build would handle it. /etc/resolvconf is modifying /etc/resolv.conf, which can appear to be changed manually, but gets restored to the /etc/resolvconf setting upon reboot. This is a function of the Debian used by DIAL. It appears to me that it is a nontrivial update to netsetup to modify /etc/resolvconf unless it is somehow disabled which can confuse things by making the Debian nonstandard.

Thanks,

netsetup is being replaced. In the meantime:

edit /etc/resolvconf.conf <---------------------- Not a typo

add:

name_servers="8.8.8.8 4.2.2.1"

reboot or resolvconf -u
