[hobbit] A few hobbit problems

I might have found another, unrelated, problem: When I include any one of the following three lines in my bb-hosts file: 137.54.102.2 healthsystem.virginia.edu # http://healthsystem.virginia.edu/ 137.54.102.2 healthsystem.virginia.edu # http://healthsystem.virginia.edu=137.54.102.2/ 137.54.102.2 healthsystem.virginia.edu # http://137.54.102.2/ The bbgen process seems to hang. The 'healthsystem.virginia.edu' page fails to appear in the appropriate menu. None of the menu pages update, although individual test pages (such as a conn test for a switch) update appropriately. Furthermore, the bbgen test for my hobbit server sends this message: - Program crashed Fatal signal caught! (though you can only see it by viewing the bbgen test; the parent page doesnt update). -Eric

Your eventlog has an entry from a host that is not in the bb-hosts file; these are ignored by the normal eventlog shown on the bb2 page, but the CGI script tried to include them with fatal consequences. I've attached a patch to fix this. To apply, save the patch to /tmp/eventlog-crash.patch, then cd hobbit-4.0.1 patch -p0 </tmp/eventlog-crash.patch make make install # as root Regards, Henrik

This is a sure sign of the "bbgen" task crashing while generating the new webpages. You should find a core file from it in the ~hobbit/server/tmp/ directory (or occasionally in ~hobbit/data/logs/), so do the same thing that you did with the eventlog problem: cd ~hobbit/server gdb bin/bbgen tmp/core gdb> bt and send me the output.

[hobbit] securing access
by Robert.Taylor＠HendrickAuto.com 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

There was a post a few days back with an LDAP configuration. I was able to change a few things around a get that to work with our MS Active Directory to validate usernames/passwords for access on a RH EL 3.0 box. Here is the config for my Apache server. It effectively let's anyone access from the internal 10.x.x.x network and then requires a valid username/password for anyone accessing via the Web. <Directory "/var/www/html"> AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow AuthType Basic AuthName "<Something to display in dialog>" AuthzLDAPEngine on AuthzLDAPServer <IP Address of LDAP Server>:389 AuthzLDAPUserKey sAMAccountName AuthzLDAPBindDN <valid LDAP Username for binding to server> AuthzLDAPBindPassword <LDAP password for username above> AuthzLDAPUserBase dc=<something>,dc=<something .com, .local, .net etc.> AuthzLDAPUserScope subtree Deny from all Satisfy any Require valid-user Allow from 10. </Directory> Standard disclaimer would be that I am no Apache expert and this took me FOREVER to get working right, but it seems to be okay now.

patch for external RRD script
by grossi＠acantho.net 04 Apr '05

04 Apr '05

I have tried to use my own RRD generator with a bash script similar to the one included in the documentation. the problem is that sometimes the input file is overwritten before the bash script is started, i made a simple change in the file do_external.c, and now it seems to work well. Henrik, can you check ?

HI, I compared manpages (SYNOPSIS-part) for the different machines and couldn't see any difference. Now it's time to go out in the garden and work a bit. The lawn doesn't consist of grass but moss.

Hi again, For m,e it's not a big problem, since I have a working installation. But perhaps somebody in the future want to use an obsolete HP-UX-server as a Hobbitserver.
