Jun 07 06:20:23 <NoRemorse> hi all
Jun 07 06:21:59 <NoRemorse> does the backup function under the administrationmmenu on the web interface of the nslu2 , when used to backup to a disk in port 2, does it make a disk that can be swapped to port 1 ready to boot from? or is it just a copy of the folders, no permissions,config, or anything? (standard shipped firmware)
Jun 07 10:26:07 <hasse> It seems I just screwed up a little by editing /etc/passwd to add a new user.
Jun 07 10:26:30 <hasse> There was an empty line towards the end, which I removed. Was that a bad idea? What should be on it?
Jun 07 10:26:55 <hasse> Now my slug says "Error: Fail to get number of users" when I go to the "Users" page in the webif.
Jun 07 10:31:39 <caplink811-away> what kind of editor you've used?
Jun 07 10:32:36 <hasse> vi, but I just realized how to get it back. Add another user, and it'll put in the empty line correctly.
Jun 07 10:34:53 <hasse> But apparently it's not enough to add a user in the web-if to be able to ssh in as it. What else do I need to do?
Jun 07 10:35:30 <caplink811-away> shouldn't be the problem, my passwd ends at the last character of the last line, no appending empty line is needing ?!?
Jun 07 10:36:10 <hasse> Mine has root, lp, ... guest, admin, <empty line>, myuser
Jun 07 10:37:53 <caplink811-away> that was at my passwd also, just del this empty line, try http://linus/Management/file_sharing.cgi?next_file=users.htm again, everything works fine
Jun 07 10:38:59 <hasse> But myuser (which is now correctly displayed in the web-if again) can't ssh in, for some reason
Jun 07 10:39:25 <caplink811-away> ssh with password, or key file?
Jun 07 10:39:32 <hasse> password
Jun 07 10:39:41 <caplink811-away> what happens?
Jun 07 10:39:51 <hasse> www@10.1.1.77's password:
Jun 07 10:39:52 <hasse> Permission denied, please try again.
Jun 07 10:40:46 <caplink811-away> rhe same behaviour with telnet?
Jun 07 10:40:51 <hasse> Ah. I need to specify a home directory as well. Duh.
Jun 07 10:41:18 <caplink811-away> right
Jun 07 10:42:16 <hasse> Now, unison would be sweet to be able to ipkg in...
Jun 07 10:42:55 <caplink811-away> yes, but hte problem is the language in which unison is written
Jun 07 10:45:21 <hasse> Hm. OCaml. I see... It isn't actually compiled, or what? I remeber installing unison on this maching by just copying in the binary.
Jun 07 10:45:48 <caplink811-away> on a slug?
Jun 07 10:47:18 <hasse> No, on this workstation. I *thought* I copied a binary, but I can't say I checked.
Jun 07 10:47:25 <caplink811-away> to compile unison for an armb proc, i must compile ocaml 1st, that actual my problem, but haven't work on for, hm, 2 month now
Jun 07 10:48:01 <caplink811-away> well, when there are pecompiled binaries, everything is fine, but for the slug there are nothing
Jun 07 10:48:02 <hasse> So you're telling me to use rsync for the moment? ;-)
Jun 07 10:48:47 <caplink811-away> or rsnapshot
Jun 07 10:49:02 <hasse> What's that? *google*
Jun 07 10:49:33 <caplink811-away> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/InstallRSnapshot
Jun 07 10:50:07 <hasse> After 30s of reading: would that be useful to backup the system parts of my slug?
Jun 07 10:50:28 <hasse> Apparently, from the next page...
Jun 07 10:50:29 <caplink811-away> definitiv
Jun 07 10:50:38 <hasse> Goody.
Jun 07 10:51:06 <hasse> And it needs Perl, which I should install anyway. Perfect.
Jun 07 10:51:34 * caplink811-away is away-way for at least 30 min
Jun 07 10:51:45 <caplink811-away> bbl
Jun 07 10:52:14 * hasse installs Perl.
